MicroFounder - Build a Niche Google 🔎

It's possible for a solo developer to build a profitable microstartup to pay the bills and live life on their own terms.

"Google is no longer producing high quality search results in a significant number of important categories." – Michael Seibel on Twitter

"A startup usually has to start with a niche market. Why not try writing a search engine specifically for some category dominated by SEO spam?" – Paul Graham on Twitter

People are noticing the spam, and are already using Google in a different way.

Want to know how much funding this startup has?
You Google: "contra crunchbase"

Want to know what others think about a SaaS?
You Google: "pipedrive capterra"

"A key question is how to build habitual recall to use your product over Google." – Daniel Gross

One way to solve it is by building the best site in your niche.

Not a site that is gaming SEO.
Not a site that looks like the best.

But a site that is actually the best site in your niche.
