Anyone into SaaS or Content Creation businesses?

I am a software developer, working on building tools to create content (courses, e-books, videos) that solve specific problems.

I can also develop other types of software if there is a reasonable idea.

Is anyone interested in such businesses? Wanna collaborate or simply share your opinion?

I have experience in content creation. I used to manage two different accounts. Currently, learning some data science tools. I would love to collaborate if thereā€™s an opportunity. :grin:

I do have some experience in SAAS with integrated AI. But that is through Bubble & flutter.

For content creation, that is what Iā€™m into. Using After effects right now.

Thanks guys!

I think we can come up with some common goals if we put our minds together.
It depends on how motivated we really are. I should have included that in the main question. :slight_smile:
Iā€™m VERY motivated on my side. It just pisses me off that Iā€™m supposedly at a good level in my career, making 2-3x more than my peers, but I still canā€™t afford a nice flat in the city centerā€¦ This world is messed up (economically), and the only way to have a decent life seems to be through running a business. Employment-type work simply doesnā€™t offer fair living standards, IMO. Ah, perhaps this is the 4th gate of The Architect of Reality speaking upā€¦ in any case, I AM MOTIVATED.

The first goal would be to identify strengths and weaknesses and build a team/guild.

It could be a skill-exchange guild for our projects. Even beta testers would help so much. No need for huge commitments. In my opinion, the best teams get formed naturally over time. (unless you have a bunch of funds. :slight_smile: )

Learning new languages / environments isnā€™t that difficult if you can spare 8h/week.
Also, if we do a project together, I could guide you.

You could write and sell ebooks on Amazon KDP.
Itā€™s something Iā€™ve been looking into for a year, but Iā€™m no writer. :slight_smile:
I was thinking about using ChatGPT + doing the marketing work.

Iā€™m building a Jasper-AI type of app, but of course, it has a unique selling proposition.
It does much more in a more organized/automated way. The only opportunity at this time is to discuss what we can do togetherā€¦ :smiley: Itā€™s an app Iā€™m developing after my full-time job, usually during weekends. But I may quit my job in January/February and focus on this.

I have been testing the AI video generators, and they all lack certain features Iā€™d love to have.
But it takes a lot of work to build a system like that, so itā€™s not within my short-term goals.
Iā€™ll first focus on simpler apps, and perhaps tackle such larger goals in a few years.

Hey bro. You know this as well. But Iā€™m just suggesting in case you missed this part ā€”> Releasing the MVP, getting the traction, onboarding investors then quitting the job.

Thanks for the advice man. Thatā€™s why I am considering it in February. I should have the MVP ready by then.

Itā€™s usually a better idea to serve your business to a large audience.
For example, WordPress plugins may sound silly to most entrepreneurs, but in terms of getting clients, there is a larger market you can tap into easily. Itā€™s like they already have one foot on the doorstep.
Familiarity, ease of setup, maintenance, and overall UX matter a lot to many small businesses.

Another thing you may consider is the geography. If you intend to grow within a certain geography/exosystem, then your choices are automatically refined. Eg: Nodejs/Javascript is more popular in the UK, while Laravel/Symfony/PHP is more popular in the EU and US.

Last but not least, avoid reinventing the wheel. The goal should be shipping value to clients, rather than doing some fancy engineering moves unnecessarily. You can learn a lot by working on existing apps.

In any case, there is value in collaboration. Iā€™ll keep you in mind to ping when I have a demo ready for my MVP.

In the meanwhile, everyone is welcome to suggest ideas. :pray:

Services to generate qr. Download videos, MP3 from Youtube.

Currency conversion or sale of tbc are some ideas.

Integration with radionics or fields so your content works and sells xD

Extra points for showing it in metadata, so it leaves anyone or anything seeing it puzzled xD

Anyways, since Iā€™m getting into that myself just nowā€¦I will @ you for anything.

Anyways, most of my issues, are beyond the scope of content creating tools. Those are already good.

Except for games, apps, VR and ARā€¦mostly interactive stuff.

Integration with apps, e-commerce, social media, ads, blockchainā€¦itā€™s a lot of things nowadays. So I donā€™t know about specific problemsā€¦but the big problem for content creators is having this flexibility and features in only one suite.

And something for positioning and research (for both content and marketing, specially the latter), would be nice too. Basically what frees any author, artist, etc the most so they can focus on creating their stuff and the posting, promoting, etc, is optimized and automatic.

The more money you make them, the more you make. So auto-research and optimization is really needed.

And then the radionics or magick integration xD

I sure would like that! but Iā€™ve got no experience in creating such fields, so Iā€™ll focus on writing good content that educate and reshape minds through some simpler practices that I know.

sure, anytime!

I meant that the tools are designed for creating content that solves certain problems.
Like different types of education models are included in the ā€œcourse creatorā€, and different types of meditation models are included in the ā€˜meditation creatorā€™, and so on. Each is best for a certain scenario/audience.
After filling out a basic form, AI follows the given instructions and the template to create the content.
Then the user can make final adjustments using the online editor.

Not sure what you mean by ā€˜positioningā€™, but I have ā€˜keywords plannerā€™ features.
Theyā€™re also taken into consideration when writing intros/descriptions, etc.

that one Iā€™ve got really cool features for.
Itā€™s probably the biggest reason why any content creator could be interested in the SaaS Iā€™m developing.

but itā€™s a lot of work and I donā€™t get to develop much while having a full-time jobā€¦
Well, better late than never. :)

thanks for your comment man, you sure know the deal!

Yeah, feel free to message, more on the non technical side though.

Sg. I am working on 3 channels/brands, using them as ā€œtest subjectsā€.
Once I have an MVP, Iā€™ll send it out to those interested.
