Does the SaaS model really work?  Really?
staunch: I think you really need to go after businesses. Consumers are just plain cheap. I know I am. As an individual I don't really need anything. Certainly I don't really need any web service. Getting me to buy something that is just a luxury is really hard. I'm also very likely to cancel when buyer's remorse sets in.Businesses are different. If they need to solve a problem (to make or save a significant amount of money) and the choice is between paying one of their developers $10k+ in salary to build it or paying you $80/mo to have it instantly there's not much of a decision there. You just need to make sure that you're solving a problem that thousands of businesses have and then push it really hard. A simple formula that's really hard work to actually do, but quite likely to succeed.
