In 2010, I started selling online. All 5 Ventures failed miserably.
Currently, I am a full-stack software engineer here in TX working with a Fortune 500 company.
I have a dream to have my own business.
My brother will also help me. He is also a software developer.
So, Me and My brother want to go on a little adventure.
You got it right.
Obviously, the straight path is to start with a “Web Design Agency” We want to help SaaS entrepreneurs.
We like to work with SaaS entrepreneurs, from idea validation to live-in production.
I don’t have any idea how to start it.
We are trying to find out some clients we can work on.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
As others say I commend your persistence.
I feel maybe you’re trying to go for a web design agency because it feels most natural and it’s also broad so you don’t actually need to do any of the “niche” aspect of a business AS much (which I guess might be weird as you’re actually trying to help people niche into their market fit). So question, would you envision this as THE agency to go to for building and validating where everyone goes to take their idea to MVP?
So with that in mind, your pricing should also be reflective for how widely adopted you want to be. If you’re going for $3k-5k, that’s a rather slim window of customers and you’re not really gonna be a “mainstream” option possibly just for the price not being “consumer friendly”. I think your price just reflects how much it carries (a very full service of many components). Do you think this aligns to your vision in terms of where your solution would be positioned in the market? Because if let’s say you wanna be on the line of go daddy for example, you’re 99% not underway with that pricing. You’d be something more like those really high end solutions in B2B that are mega packed with quality and quantity for high prices.
I also would consider the nature of entreprneurism. Low budgets, aiming to be as cheap as possible, etc. You want someone who knows exactly what they want enough to have the $ and be ready to spend it, but who also is unsure enough that they want your help over another dev agency. That seems confusing to me and the results from people who have money to spend but no real direction or knowledge may lead to failure.
In short. How will you deal with entrepreneurship’s natural failure rate considering that’s supposedly the highlight of your business?
