Ask HN: My SaaS idea was bad, need alternative part time job

4 点作者 adrian_pop超过 12 年前
Hello,<p>Yesterday I submitted a topic on HN about a possible SaaS product, my own product. As suggested by a few HNers, I started to send some emails to possible customers, explaining them what am I up to, what would they like to have, how are they doing now, what issues do they have and if they would like a service that does all the work in an automatic way, not manually.<p>The answer was: NO. Out of about 37 emails and PM on forums I got: - 25 NO replies, 3 YES, 9 nothings (until now)<p>The ugly truth is...my idea was bad, and I wish I knew this 24h ago.<p>Now, straight to the point: I need work for extra income.<p>Areas of expertise: PHP &#38; MySQL - 3 to 4 years, Wordpress - 2+ years (private plugins and theme development), Javascript &#38; jQuery (Twitter Bootstrap lately) - 2+ years, Web Services &#38; APIs - 2+ years, Git/SVN/Hg - 3+ years<p>I am opened to the following kind of proposals: hourly paid job (mon-fri: 2-4 hours, sat-sun: 8-12 hours), project based job with milestone payments<p>Contact me on skype: "adyp.eu" or by email "contact [@] adrianpop.com" (remove brackets).

Giving up on an idea which got a ~10% positive response rate in one day of work might be a bit hasty. I doubt you'll find any SaaS business idea easier to validate.<p>A friend of mine just validated an idea after a lot of research, cold calling, and emailing. He has managed to get 4 customers to pre-pay for the product, and only now is he going ahead with building it. Now this guy is a solid hustler and it took him <i>2 months</i> of full time work to get to this stage.<p>Don't give up so easily!

3 Yes's out of 37 is not a bad metric to go off of, unless you're in a micro-niche and 37 customers is all there is. What is the market as a whole? By yes, are they bringing out a checkbook and saying "can I get it now"?<p>As for work, I'd suggest checking out the several freelance sites out there: guru, freelancer, etc. Hope this helps!
