I made $29,059 in February and worked exactly 4 hours…

This is the power of a SaaS product. Once the flywheel is spinning, it just keeps going.

His product is StageTimer.io, a remote-controlled countdown timer used by video producers and event organizers.

Lukas got the idea for the app while at a friend’s recording studio. His friend was running in and out of the studio to start/stop a timer on his laptop ⏱️

Lukas figured he could build a timer that was remote controlled.

He validated the idea on Reddit in Nov 2020 and Jun 2021.

Then launched a paid version of the app in June 2022 and was earning $8000/month within a year 🚀

Lukas’ wife Liz also works on the business, doing customer support.

Her words from a 2023 interview 👇

Lukas and I often play a game where we challenge each other to observe how things around us could be done better. We try to look for inefficiencies and problems in everyday activities, and then come up with solutions and ideas for how to fix them.

This game has given us a lot of great ideas for potential businesses.

Play that game regularly yourself, see what ideas you come up with.
