Hey guys.
This week, I prepared a lot of helpful information for you.
I see more and more simple products that solve niche problems well. They have one feature, usually built by one founder, and generate revenue from the beginning.
So today’s newsletter issue will be dedicated to the most popular category on Microns - micro-SaaS startups.
I’ll show you how you can find an idea, validate it, and grow a micro-SaaS project on your own.
👋 Welcome
Welcome to the 58 new people joining this week.
Let me know what you think of your first issue. Replying helps Google realize it’s not a spam.

Now let’s crack on with the newsletter ☕️
🎉 Recently sold startup
We sold an e-commerce site called DirectoryKit. It helped creators build directories using pre-built templates.
The project had 4 paid customers and $400 in revenue. It was built using Next.js and TailwindCSS. DirectoryKit was sold for $1,700 (4.25 revenue multiplier).
If you have a profitable startup, feel free to submit it, and we'll find you a buyer.
📝 Build a profitable micro-SaaS product
Earlier this week, I asked on Twitter if other founders would be interested in learning how to build a profitable micro-SaaS startup. I received many positive replies, which validated my assumptions.
After some time thinking and drafting, the blog post was born. I showed the most critical aspects on how to start successful micro-SaaS business.
Based on my experience building and growing online businesses, I wrote about places where startup founders can find their next idea and how to validate it properly. I tried everything on my own, so you’ll learn a lot from it.
