Micro SaaS Ideas for SaaS Founders
⛳ 💡 Micro SaaS for WhatsApp Marketing and Customer Engagement
WhatsApp is becoming an increasingly popular channel for marketing, sales and support globally. The open rates and conversion rates for WhatsApp are much higher than emails. Develop a micro saas that enables businesses to use WhatsApp for marketing and customer engagement using data from their CRMs and e-commerce platforms. Connect with popular CRMs to provide a unified view of customer data and interactions across all channels. For e-commerce businesses, the micro SaaS should integrate with platforms like Shopify, WooCommerce etc. to enable automated WhatsApp communications throughout the customer journey. When integrated, the platform could automatically send order confirmations, shipping updates, and delivery notifications via WhatsApp. It could also trigger abandoned cart reminders or personalized product recommendations based on the customer's browsing or purchase history.
Double My Leads offers a WhatsApp integration for SaaS agencies. It has reached $850 MRR. SuperLemon provides a WhatsApp plugin specifically for Shopify stores, enabling features like bulk messaging and abandoned cart recovery. It crossed $25K MRR in less than 2 years. Armin provides a comprehensive WhatsApp marketing software with 100+ businesses using it.
⛳ 💡 Micro SaaS for AI-Powered Document Extraction
Businesses deal with large volumes of unstructured documents like contracts, invoices, receipts etc. Manually extracting key information from these documents is error-prone and inefficient. Build a Micro SaaS that uses AI to extract key data like contact information, dates, pricing and other information from emails, PDFs, Word, images etc. The tool would let users provide natural language instructions to specify the data they need to extract. Users should be able to simply forward emails with attachments to a designated address, and the tool would automatically extract relevant information from these attachments. Provide the option to export the extracted data in various formats including CSV, JSON and Excel. Also provide integrations with Google Sheets, Zapier etc. letting users automate the workflow.
You can customise the tool for specific applications like legal document analysis, resume parsing, financial statements etc.
See also Parseur that is used by 40,000+ businesses to automate text extraction from PDFs, emails, and other documents. Airparser is another player in AI document extraction niche and it is profitable.
⛳ 💡 HTML to PDF Conversion API
HTML to PDF APIs have many practical applications wherever dynamic web content needs to be converted into professional PDF documents automatically. Develop an API for HTML to PDF conversion that converts complex web pages, local HTML files or HTML code within data into a PDF file. Provide support for conversion of HTML forms into PDF forms that are fully accessible and compatible with screen readers. The API should allow customization enabling users to adjust page sizes, orientations, headers, footers and add watermarks and background images.
PDFShift, an API that converts any HTML document to PDF, JPEG etc reached $7.2K/month in revenue. DocRaptor is also a popular HTML to PDF API that uses the Prince PDF generator.
⛳ 💡 AI Voice-based Language Practice App
Many language learners struggle to find native speakers or conversation partners to practice with regularly. This creates a gap between their reading and writing skills and their speaking abilities. Build a tool that engages with users in realistic, voice-based conversations in their target language. Users can practice speaking on various topics, receive instant feedback on pronunciation and grammar, and engage in role-playing scenarios. The app should offer a wide range of conversation topics and scenarios, such as ordering food, asking for directions, or discussing medical issues with a doctor etc. so that users can practice speaking in various contexts.
You can add a selection of audiobooks where the narration pace adjusts to the user's comprehension level. Users can interact with the audiobook by speaking to it and asking to repeat sentences or explain phrases or discuss the content.
See Kippy and LangoTalk for inspiration. LangoTalk has 300,000+ users. French Together is an for learning French that uses AI for pronunciation feedback. It has crossed $11K MRR.
⛳ 💡 White-label SEO tools
There are many SEO tools around keyword tracking, SERP tracking, Onpage suggestions, Page crawling. Create SEO tools around white-label options so that agencies and companies can buy these tools/software and brand it under their company and can resell them to their customers. Instead of targeting B2C by selling directly to customers, you can actually build a business around B2B by selling these tools with a white-label option to agencies that need to provide SEO to their end customers. SERankin with white label SEO option has an estimated revenue of $8M/year. SEOptimer with their White Label SEO Audit Tool has an estimated revenue of $20K MRR. SiteChecker in a similar space around SEO tools with white-label options has an estimated revenue of $98K MRR. RavenTools that serves white-label SEO reports has an estimated revenue of $750K/year.
⛳ 💡 Reporting Tool for Influencers
A 'post-campaign report' holds importance in influencer marketing as it offers a detailed assessment of the campaign's effectiveness. This report compiles data on metrics like engagement, reach, conversion rates, and brand sentiment. It provides insights into the success of the collaboration, helping brands evaluate the return on investment and campaign alignment with objectives. Analyzing successes and failures aids brands in refining future influencer strategies. Additionally, the post-campaign report promotes clear communication between brands and influencers, strengthening accountability and collaboration over time. Now creating this report for each campaign and send back and forth to the clients is a complex task when influences promote multiple brands daily. A Micro SaaS that helps build reports for influencer marketing helps both the influencers and the sponsors. Tools like Authentic that help create these reports charge $900/m in their highest tiers. The same is the case with products like InfluenceKit. These are high value B2B subscriptions that charge $900/m for businesses. InfluenceKit reached $13K/month in revenue
