Original Summary

These days, everyone has turned into a builder, or should I say a B2B builder. When I check launch platforms like NickLaunches, KittyLaunch, Product Hunt, SaaSHub, etc., there is an infinite quantity of SaaS products for business. I would even go further: there is an infinite number of apps for B2B builders. In a way, I understand why. Big SaaS products are either too generic or have too many features, so lots of you just created your own perfect version of the service. The problem is that millions of you had the same reflex at the same time, thanks to AI. Because of this, the market is flooded with B2B SaaS to serve other B2B SaaS. Some of you even found success in this new market, but I wonder if it's an artificial market. If none of these people make any money with their own app within 12-18 months, they will stop paying for your service and it will collapse. It's even worse than that. There are new app directories and launch platforms every day. Everyone is trying to be the next launch platform, get to around 70 DR by getting apps to show a badge on their main page to get "free DR", or to sell DR for $20 a year... I think it's only a matter of time before Google penalizes all of these launch platforms that create "artificial DR" by requesting badges. My point is that even if right now there seems to be a market for all these apps for builders, I think it's an artificial and very temporary market that feeds on itself. Meanwhile, on these launch platforms, B2C is almost completely left alone! I created an app for managing your recipes and planning your meals in one click (origano.app), and even if that space is super crowded, I was able to find some traction. To be honest, on all the launch platforms I used, I can almost count the apps for actual customers (not businesses) on my hands. So if you have been thinking of a product for actual consumers, an app or SaaS, I think it's a good time. That being said, it's still very difficult. I'm fighting on launch platforms against B2B SaaS with hundreds of votes, because most users of these websites are other builders who like tools for themselves. They don't really care about meal planning most of the time. But LLMs and AIs will read your pages and suggest them to actual customers asking these questions in ChatGPT. That's been about 95% of my traffic. I'm not rich, but I have a small business on the side and serve real customers every day, and I think the pool of actual customers is almost infinite. I just have to find more ways to reach them. I'm happy I don't have to fight with yet another tool that resells AI tokens or writes Facebook posts for me. Has anyone here built for consumers instead of builders? What channels actually worked for you?   submitted by   /u/DarkJaff [link]   [comments]
