I think it would actually help everyone if you were to comment.

As a guess: you wanted to be negative because it sounds like a sales pitch ("get rich quick")? In that case, I kind of agree with you, but people seem to like the article, regardless :)

Well, it's more like "don't get rich, slow". But interested to understand why it feels that way. I personally HATE internet marketery stuff.

Marketing is about pointing out the end result before the action. In your case, you point out a friend made "millions" and then speak for his weakly biased advice to "do SaaS" as if that's going to net someone the end result of millions. The reason it "feels" that way is because it is that way on your site, even if you rationalize it otherwise.

At no point does the OP say a friend made millions.

There was the mention of an unrelated mobile app guru who had made millions from mobile apps.

But that was simply to point out the irony, that even THAT guy, thoguht it was better to build a SaaS app than a mobile app.

Author here, have at it :)

Ok, what was your initial business?

Your current business sounds like "selling equipment to pan handlers coming to the gold rush." So is there real good to be found, outside of selling to the people looking for gold?

I might be being a bit dumb, but I'm not sure what you mean by any of this... :(

Does it help if I show some of my links of the things I've done?

With regard to what nugget offers? Is that what you mean? I hope that is answered here:

If not please post again with a little more clarification.

Thanks for answering :)

Yes, I didn't see those in the article. :)

Sorry if the gold rush analogy was cryptic. Another analogy: before the dot com bust, a lot of revenue came just from startups buying ads on each other's sites with VC money. When that dried up, turned out a lot of those start ups weren't actually viable.

So with your business catering to other SAAS businesses, made me wonder about the viability of single person SAAS businesses catering to other kinds of people.

Of course you are not dumb, just disingenous

while virtually all business can be summed up as "I am selling you a tool so that you can attempt to use it to make money/achieve happiness quickly", I think the author has done a good job of being forthcoming in his data and what value he could offer a potential customer
