What’s up, future unicorns! Are you tired of suckling at the allowance teat? Ready to turn those tech skills into serious dollars—or at least enough greenbacks to keep your games library full and your snacks drawer stocked? You’ve come to the right place! Welcome to our guide on 20 Micro SaaS ideas for school students to make a passive income using their technical skills.
Let’s start by unpacking the behemoth word that’s got tongues wagging – Micro SaaS. It’s not the latest viral dance routine; it’s a tiny, but a kickass software business! One that requires minimal investment, has a small customer base, and can be managed by a small team (like Sherlock and John, or Mario and Luigi).
Now wipe off that “why didn’t I think of that?” look on your face, because we’re about to explore 20 Micro SaaS ideas that might just help you become the next Mark Zuckerberg, minus the whole testifying before Congress thing.
We didn’t cover free SaaS tools like fix my speaker, yt mp3, etc, as it’s really hard to build and maintain for a school student without prior experience.
