🤿🤿 Deep-dive &&💡💡Micro SaaS niches
⛳ 💡 Micro SaaS for AI-Powered E-Commerce Product Videos
One of the challenges for online retailers is creating eye-catching product videos that really show off what is being sold. Producing good-quality videos for each item in the catalog needs time and resources. Build a tool that generates product videos, complete with voiceovers, using the existing product images and descriptions. Provide integration with e-commerce platforms like Shopify, WooCommerce etc. to access product catalogs. The tools should completely automate the video generation process including the generation of captions and relevant hashtags for posting on social media. Predis.ai, which has raised $155K in funding and boasts 1 million users worldwide, includes a video generation tool for e-commerce stores. Another example is of Whatmore.ai that lets users create product videos for TikTok, Instagram, websites etc. It has received $650K in funding.
⛳ 💡 Micro SaaS for YouTube Niche Research
A major challenge for YouTube content creators is uncovering profitable niches and coming up with engaging video ideas that stand out in a crowded market. With millions of videos uploaded each day, creators need more than just creativity—they need insights driven by data to spot opportunities. Developing a micro SaaS for YouTube niche research can help creators identify under-served niches and analyze trending topics and niches. Taking inspiration from tools like 1of10and outlier research feature in vidIQ ( used by over 20 million creators) this tool would analyze YouTube videos to identify outliers—videos that significantly outperform the average within a channel. It should show trending videos similar to the outlier one in that niche. This would help creators uncover patterns and identify what’s working best. Provide filters for engagement metrics, audience demographics, content themes etc. enabling creators to tailor their research to specific needs.
⛳ 💡 Micro SaaS for AI-Powered Step-by-Step Guides
Step-by-step guides are crucial for various business processes, including tutorials, onboarding, creating SOPs, and customer support. But creating these guides manually can be a time-consuming and often frustrating task. An AI-powered tool can streamline this process by automatically generating guides as users perform the tasks they want to document. The tool would capture workflows in real-time, creating comprehensive guides with annotated screenshots and clear instructions. As a user goes through a process, the app would record each click and action, capturing the entire workflow. The AI then generates a guide with annotations added to screenshots and descriptive text for each step. This minimizes the manual effort required to produce comprehensive guides. include a user-friendly editor where users can fine-tune the generated guides, rearrange steps, or add additional notes. For examples in this space, see Scribe AI and Dubble. Dubble is a chrome extension that crossed $2700 in MRR.
⛳ 💡 Micro SaaS for Auto Repair Businesses
Develop an auto repair shop management software tailored specifically for auto repair businesses that would help them streamline their operations. The micro saas should include a comprehensive set of tools including for booking and managing appointments, assigning tasks to technicians, providing quick estimates and invoice generation as well as automated customer communication tools like for service reminders, follow-up messages etc. Include vehicle inspection features, enabling technicians to document issues with photos and notes, which can be shared with customers. AutoLeap is one of the major players in this space with an annual revenue of $27.3 Million. ARI is another alternative with thousands of users.
⛳ 💡 Advertising platform connecting social media influencers
Social Media influencers help increase the word-of-mouth publicity for many products. But often reaching these folks and understanding their pricing and making payments is a tedious task. Advertising platform connecting social media influencers serves as a marketplace that links brands with influential personalities across various social media channels. It facilitates collaborations by allowing brands to discover, connect, and partner with relevant influencers whose audience aligns with their marketing goals. These platforms often offer tools for campaign management, performance tracking, and influencer selection, streamlining the process of creating impactful and authentic promotional content. Create a platform where social media influencers can list themselves with the data related to their follower count, post frequency, engagement stats, etc. Registered users can send interesting proposals to these influencers via the SaaS solution and get confirmations, make payments, etc. Make sure to support influencers across all social media platforms so that users can book multiple influencers from the same SaaS solution. Heepsy makes $3.5M per year with a product like this.
⛳ 💡 Reverse Job Boards
Reverse Job Boards are a new thing that is gaining traction. Instead of displaying jobs, the reverse job boards display candidates’ information and their interests. Instead of candidates searching for jobs, companies search for candidates in a predefined curated database listing. You can pretty much bring this model to any niche/segment. For example, RailsDevsapplied the same model for Rails Developers and crossed $4K MRR. On top of the monthly subscription, RailsDevs also charges approximately $10K-$20K for every hire as a referral fee. MyPerfectJob is applying the same concept to Product Managers. Pick a specific segment like Front end devs, Cloud devs, and Web3 devs and apply the concept of Reverse Job Boards. It might need some initial effort to ping people and explain and ask the candidates to register to your listing. But once you have about 100-200 candidates, it will be in a good shape and you can start charging companies a subscription fee.
