What is this?

Software businesses turn a repeated problem into a tool people can use. Start with one useful feature or a simple demo. Speak with users and ask for payment before building a large product.

What to check before you start

  • Test the problem before building many features
  • Include support, hosting and upkeep in your costs
  • Subscriptions work only when users get repeat value
