Adapted Plan for Solo Developer — InAP SaaS
1. Focus on the MVP (Minimum Viable Product)
-
Concentrate on the essential features that solve your users’ main problems.
-
Avoid very complex or time-consuming features at this stage.
-
A well-made MVP can start attracting users and generating revenue faster.
2. Automate Everything Possible
-
Use SaaS platforms and tools for hosting (e.g., Heroku, AWS Free Tier, Google Cloud).
-
For marketing, use email marketing tools (Mailchimp, ConvertKit) and social media management (Hootsuite, Buffer) free tiers.
-
Automate billing and subscription management with Stripe or PayPal.
3. Content Marketing and Social Media
-
Create a simple blog or a Medium page to publish articles related to InAP, recipes, meal management, etc.
-
Use LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook to share updates and build a small community.
-
Participate in relevant online groups and forums to raise awareness about your software.
4. Direct Validation and Feedback
-
Talk to potential users close to you (family, friends, local groups) to test the MVP.
-
Use simple forms (Google Forms) to collect feedback.
-
Quickly adjust the software based on responses.
5. Organic Growth and Small Partnerships
-
Look for micro-influencers or bloggers who might try InAP in exchange for promotion.
-
Consider partnerships with small local businesses you can contact directly, even informally.
6. Personal Management and Organization
-
Set a daily work routine with small, realistic goals.
-
Use free tools for organization and planning (Trello, Notion).
-
Dedicate time to continuous learning in areas needing improvement (marketing, UX, sales).
Final Words
Being a “one-woman show” requires focus, discipline, and patience, but it’s also a process of great personal and professional growth. You have everything it takes to build something valuable and, with persistence, scale InAP.
