And, you know, why I like SaaS businesses so much is the margins are incredible. You can expect anywhere from 70, 80, 90% margins. What other businesses could you do that in? And today, that's what we're going to talk about. Only SaaS businesses. And by the way, each of these ideas, I'll give you the playbook. So the first idea is called... I just had way too much coffee and I get the jitters. And when I get the jitters, I have the best startup ideas. I don't know why. So I just was writing down a ton of SaaS startup ideas and I needed to click record and share it with you. Now, you might listen to one of these SaaS ideas and steal it and build the MVP in a weekend and it starts growing and growing. All of a sudden, you're doing a million dollars a month.

You end up selling the business to Salesforce. And then you send me a DM or comment on YouTube. Change your life. And I wouldn't be surprised. Or you might just listen to one of these ideas and it gets your creative juices flowing. And that is why I love doing this podcast. Because these ideas, you don't necessarily need to steal if you don't want to. But it might just spark something in your own life. It might just... You might hear this one idea for this niche and want to apply it to another niche that you know well. So... we're just going to go through these ideas. I'm going to give them all to you. Listen to the whole thing. Think about them. And why I like SaaS businesses so much is the margins are incredible.

You can expect anywhere from 70, 80, 90% margins. What other businesses could you do that in? And now it's cheaper than ever to go and build these MVPs, build these minimal viable products. So Over the last few years, I've gotten more and more interested in building SaaS products, and I have built a bunch of them. And today, that's what we're going to talk about. Only SaaS businesses. Are you ready? I'm ready. Can you tell? Can you tell what the coffee jitters? All right. So the first idea is what I'm calling the legal jargon simplifier. And I had this idea because I... was just signing some documents with a real estate agent that I'm working with. So I'm selling... I'm selling my apartment. And... I honestly didn't understand a lot of what was going on.
Greg Isenberg 2:48
And I know a lot of you are like me. So what if there was a one-click solution, like a Chrome extension that could demystify complex legal documents? And I think you start with just terms of service. So how would it work? Okay, I'll give you the playbook. And by the way, each of these ideas, I'll give you the playbook. So you install the Chrome extension. It would be free to start. And then you activate it on any web page with legal text. So that could be a Google Doc. It could be a website. And then you click the extension button to generate a quote-unquote four dummies version of the legal document. Now, I don't know if you can use the term four dummies because it might be for the books. But you get the idea. Something like that that's super catchy.

And then what happens is the AI analyzes the text in real time. So then you get these like plain language summaries of the key points. If you have a 20 page doc, hopefully it just gives you two, three, four points. It highlights and exposes the red flags of unusual clauses in simple terms. That's really what you're looking for. And then you offer a risk assessment score based on industry standards and user rights. And I know there's probably a lawyer listening to this and being like, oh my God, I don't know if you can do that. And I'm not a lawyer. I don't know. I just wish this thing would exist. And I know that people would pay for it. And how would they pay for it? I think you can charge something like $5 a month.
Greg Isenberg 4:21
It can be very, very cheap. Or you can do something like $50 a year, $75 a year, and you'd get things like advanced explanations, document comparison stuff. So you'd apply a very similar model to a DocuSign. You get a free few signatures and then they eventually charge for it. So how would I grow this business? What would be my growth strategy?
