Hello everyone!
People frequently ask me how I can handle having a full time job and building SaaS products. This will be the topic of the day.
Before diving into the deep end, there's a crucial first step required: ensuring your employer agrees with you having a side business. You might have limitations (no conflict of interests, etc). Be sure to have a letter from your employer to avoid you troubles.
What are the benefits to keep your full time job when you start indie hacking?
SaaS entrepreneurship is a long journey and acquiring users is hard. You can have a fantastic product and make 0 sales. Take Marc Louvion , the PH maker of the year as an example. He started full time indie hacking in 2021, built many apps but the first great profits came 2 years later in 2023. You might wait for a long time before being ramen profitable so keeping your job will let you experiment without any financial stress.
