$12,000 monthly revenue
Evgenii Anikin writes about his $12K/month business…
Built my SaaS completely solo, which means no outside money, no fancy launch, just me, a laptop and a product that quietly solves a pain for people who pay every month.
The product is SocLeads, an email scraper for maps and social media, launched in 2022 
Evgenii explains how he came up with the idea…
When I started, I thought making yet another data scraper was pointless… But after seeing tons of “unique” projects with literally zero users… I switched it up.
Instead of reinventing the wheel, I picked a busy niche, cloned the basics, and obsessed over just one real customer pain that everyone else ignored. Didn’t even try to make it “the best ever”, just “the best for THIS thing.”
It actually worked… I got paying users faster than with any original/innovative idea…
If you’re a first time founder, copy what works and just improve a few things. Forget the “unique genius” pressure.
