Piggyback Software

#8 in my list of ways to come up with a business idea: piggybacking 🐷

Find a big thriving business and look for ways to piggyback on their success.

Paul and Nat both did that by creating training courses for popular software products.

You can also try to build software that piggybacks on other software.

For example, super.so lets you build a website off the back of Notion, a popular workspace software with more than 4 million users. The founder of super.so says he hit $30k MRR in only a year 🤑

Two weeks ago I listed several examples of successful apps built for Shopify. Same piggyback principle at work there.
