If you think you need to be a genius coder or have a huge budget to build a profitable SaaS, think again. I’m going to share with you Fernando’s story — a guy who used to be just another agency owner with average coding skills. Today, he’s living in Sweden, working only 4 hours a day, and earning $15k monthly from his two SaaS products. The best part? He’s doing it all solo.

Fernando’s journey is the perfect example of how even an average coder can build profitable products by focusing on niche markets, delivering simple solutions, and moving quickly. Let me walk you through his approach so you can do the same.

Finding Winning Ideas: Scratch Your Own Itch

Fernando started off with one simple principle: scratch your own itch. He looked at things he found annoying or time-consuming in his own life and thought, “Can I make this easier?” That’s how he came up with the idea for his first product: resumemaker.online — the easiest way to create a resume, without the bloated features of other resume builders.

Tip for You: Find something you encounter daily that frustrates you or takes up too much time. Then think of a simple, no-frills way to solve that problem. This doesn’t have to be groundbreaking; it just needs to save people time.
