A specialized POS-inventory-CRM system for an offline store. Pick something - coffee, babysitting, barbers, massage parlors, sushi restaurants.
POS first because everyone has to record money. The value proposition is theft prevention, bookkeeping & taxes, etc. Inventory next because supply chains are too complex for most generic systems. Then some kind of customer retention/acquisition thing so they don't feel like it's a cost center.
The market is too red ocean for VCs to enter. Sales doesn't scale exponentially. That's your moat. I would say just tackle one American sized state, not even the big ones.
Users won't come to you. They'd go to whatever well known system is in your area. You have to go to them. Skip the online ads, TikTok, etc.
I think you should avoid casting a wide net, i.e untargeted ads. Post or contribute to niche communities, reach out 1:1, ask friends for leads. If none of this works, you could try highly targeted ads.
Thanks for the detailed advice,
Not $200/Mo, Just need 200 one time paying users $49 per user, for my digital service [Turn your Face into 60+ animated doodles and get attention improve CTR]
> Turn your Face into 60+ animated doodles and get attention improve CTR
I don't understand the value prop, at least not to make me pay $49. I'm not the target audience clearly, but this seems like a mechanical, low sophistication task, why don't I just use gemini or whatever to do this for free? If I already pay $20/month for any LLM that's multi modal I can do this now already.
The asset (animated doodles) doesn't really connect me to how I'm going to get a better click through rate.
I think for this to work you need a specific niche that resonates with people more, like you have a "proven way to get a better CTR for $niche topic with this asset pack which bundles the animated doodles plus a playbook for how to use them" or something like that.
Its not a SaaS or monthly subscription product simply it is a one time [$49] fee digital service in which you can convert your face into 60+ animated doodles which will help you get attention on X & improves CTR.
I am working on a SaaS now and the amount of effort required to build a product for 1, 200 or 2.000 persons is roughly the same. There isn't 200 persons out of 20.000 who will accept a sub-par product and pay for it. However, once you get a few people paying for it, there are already more who you just need to discover.
Instead of 200, focus on 5 potential customers only.
I’m growing a solo SaaS in a tiny niche market. In the last six months I’ve gone from zero to about $200k ARR. My average subscription price is about $250/month.
I’m not sure it’d work for your price point, but I’m running Meta ads, and then having leads schedule a call with me (no public pricing). I close them on the call (they give me their CC to start a trial). That’s worked well, though I do want to move towards a self-serve model over time.

You mean $200/mo. right?

This depends entirely on your product and niche, we don't know that.

Thank you so much mate you inspire me a lot for the day, can i know about your conversion rate ad add budget.
$25 / day. I could scale and optimize the ads more, but the calls are the bottleneck right now
Curious, what is your product?
