Rick Blyth | Chrome Extensions | Micro SaaS
Великобритания
Добавлен 18 дек 2018
This channel is for software developers / engineers / programmers on building and monetizing Micro SaaS apps, Chrome Extensions, aswell as passive income, side hustles and how to quit your software development job in a safe and low risk manner.
A few years ago, I quit my well paid Technical Director job and the rat race to build my own micro SaaS apps that have since made me multiple six figures in subscription revenue. The apps haves made us a very comfortable living for our family of 4, not to mention the huge new lifestyle freedom it has brought with it too!
After working on the apps for a few years and scaling them up to $10k MRR I eventually sold them, exiting for a life changing cash lump sum.
Now, I've set this channel up to help software developers that may be interested in doing something similar or at least taking their first steps into making money online through small SaaS (Software as a Service) apps leveraging their programming skills.

How To Build Your Own Micro SaaS in 10 Steps (Software As A Service)
Nice video and great personality! but you lied, you said "Google has it's users best interests at heart" 😆 they only care about their advertising revenue and optimise everything around it!
You mentioned google adsense, but for extensions, google adsense is not approved by google? do you have a video to implement google ads in chrome extension?
Yes, I don't think you can monetise via google adsense but there are other ad networks you could use ... personally, I think ads is not as predicatble, reliable and sellable as paid subscriptions for example.
Hey Rick! Thanks for this. Would you be anytime doing a tutorial on how to make a saas subscription model for chrome extensions ? like a tutorial. Thanks!
Hi, there's too much to cover on that topic for a youtube video but it is covered in detail in my course - Cashflowing Chrome Extensions
@@rickblyth got it thanks!
@@rickblyth thanks for replying do you have a direct link toit that explains the content of the course and so forth to buy? Thanks
@@appstuff6565 sure, you can check it out at www.cashflowingchromeextensions.com/
This - this is the content we're looking for. Thank you!
6th is make money by making extensions for others request 😊
I want to add image in an excel sheet from some webpage and download excel option to user i can do this in js but cant in extension due to library restrictions can u please help me or recommend some document to study on it - I think chrome extension are very restricted no V8 not all libraris
Great video! You went from no idea to putting it live, without being too superficial or spending 1h on the details. It got me inspired to build one! Keep up the good job. DO NOT give up. You have all you need to make this channel explode. Cheers.
Glad you enjoyed it! 👍
I do love your videos but in africa as a student, who doesn't have access to credit card can't pay the registration fee, it is quite frustrating 😢😢😢😢
Hi there Rick! Does the info in your MicroSaaS handbook only apply to chrome extension SaaS or also mobile apps? Thanks!
The Micro SaaS handbook covers everything around Micro SaaS and isn't specific to Chrome Extensions .... hope it helps 👍👍
@@rickblyth Thank you Rick!
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
i thought google implements GoogleAds in chrome extension page not in the app XD thanks for the info sir very helpful for my thesis defense 👍 now i could negotiate with my lecturer kekw
any experience with the google workspace marketplace?
He is looking like a robot
Thank you so much for the knowledge, am very interested to know more and make money with it as well, thanks.
Is it generaly a bit easier to sell a Chrome extension b2b instead b2c?
I'd say it's easier to make more money if you're solving a business problem that saves them time/money. However, B2C markets can be larger but involve smaller transactions and more focus on mass appeal and mass marketing.You can be successful in either model.
@@rickblyth I see. Thank you Rick 🙏🏻
Hi Rick, Thanks for all of your content and free training. I was wondering if this was a business model that non developers could / should get in to? Alternatively, how long do you think it would take a newbie to build the skills to develop Chrome Extensions? Much appreciated. Dan
Hi Dan, for sure you don't need to be technical to make it work, it's just a bonus for software developers. You can get Chrome Extensions developed using freelancers on Upwork or equivalent. Just set up a fixed price project and pay once you're fully happy with the developed solution. Alternatively, I do have my Cashflowing Chrome Extensions course which runs through the key features of the chrome API you might want to consider using and it has several over the should dev walkthroughs with source code included etc if you want to check it out it's at www.cashflowingchromeextensions.com/
Thanks @@rickblyth , do you cover how to hire and manage developers in your training?
@@dan-k79 Hi Dan, no I don’t cover that but I think there are plenty of RUclips videos showing you how to hire good people on upwork or equivalent
Do you know what would be an approximate value of extension with 100k users?
Hi Igor, it'd depend on multiple factors such as whether it's currently monetised or pre-revenue, niche, solution, competition, potential for monetisation and growth etc etc. If you want to email me more details I can help give you a steer as best I can.
absolutely amazin course, thank you finally someone developed one. if it's not too much to ask, can you make a course on how to develop your own chrome based browser?
Thanks, if you mean making your own chromium based browser, then I'm afraid that's above my pay grade so I'll have to pass on that one. Happy to answer questions about Chrome Extensions though

Is there a way to use no-code to do what you do/did?
From my experience and what I've seen in the community, no-code can be a fantastic starting point or a way to validate your idea quickly. You can use it to create Chrome Extension popups fairly easily. But, if you're looking to fully harness the power of Chrome Extensions and content scripts or for complex tasks, getting your hands dirty with the code gives you more control and options. I guess it's about finding the right balance between speed, cost, and functionality that suits your project's needs.
@rickblyth Thanks Rick. I appreciate your reply, it helps a lot. Keep making cool videos ✌🏼
Amazing video. Can you make a video on how to build one.
I recently got to know the world of no-code software development and saw that it is possible to create extensions with no-code platforms. Wouldn't this be a smart way to protect the code and all the business logic of the extensions? Have you ever done a test or know someone who did it and it worked? Of course this will involve some costs, but anyway in many cases at some point we will need to host a database or other service to meet the extension's requirements.

I got your pdf a while ago and I actually built a chrome extension. Plan on launching soon, not sure how I plan to monetize it yet.
Thank you very much for sharing the ideas with us. I highly appreciate that. So how do you sell your extension in the first place? Chrome Web Store has stopped allowing paid extensions so I need a way to sell my products. Thank you again for the great video.
So Google stopped taking payments via the Chrome Web Store years ago as there were so many better payment provider platforms available. I've used Gumroad and WooCommerce in the past but there are plenty of other options such as ExtensionPay and BrowserBill that are custom built solutions for Chrome Extension monetisation 👍
@@rickblyth Unfortunately Stripe is not currently available in my country so I cannot use ExtensionPay nor BrowserBill at the moment. I'll find other options. Thank you so much again for the great video and tips.
pls put some effort to fix audio volume in editing step
Nice thought but I think the definition of the target market is abit wrong. Not all the 3.2B chrome users know what extensions are. Lets take the AdBlocker extension which is a "must download" for any extension user and it has 10M downloads. I will put the target audience size at a few dozens of millions, certainly not more than 100M.
Wow! Thank you
You're welcome 👍
Great sharing Rick! I still believe building small MVP/POC tiny SaaS or niched Mobile/Shopify apps would be the best ones... (and relatively easy as a software engineer, especially who boosted with Copilot 🙂)
Ty
Thank you Rick for your advice, the points covered were very important for me to clarify the development of Chrome extensions And what can I expect.
Very welcome
I enjoyed a lot. I also want to join facebook's group. Thanks bro !
Always welcome
Anyone built one ?
Please I want to join
Great series! Thanks for the videos. How do you manage subscriptions for your products? Can you recommend any platforms ideal for microsass?
Thanks Sam, in the past I've used Gumroad and Woocommerce but nowadays there are plenty of other options worth considering for recurring subscription payments.
Thanks for the reply@@rickblyth! I have heard of both of these solutions 🙇
Amazing! Just a couple unanswered questions- What is/are these "Communities" you speak of where you got your demand from? I have some great ideas for some packages and such but no idea if it will sell. How did you sell your products?? I have some ideas for NPM libs which could be useful for other devs but have no idea how one would list them.
So communities can be online forums, social media groups etc where your potential users hang out. It's all about finding your target audience and engaging with them to understand their problems and offering a compelling solution. As for selling your products, it really depends on what you're offering. For NPM libs or packages, you can start by publishing them on the npm registry. Promote them through your personal networks, social media, and, if applicable, communities related to your niche. Building a website or documentation for your packages can also help potential users understand their value. That said, I'm not sure how easy it'd be to monetise a library/package as most seem to be open source/free. Best of luck with it!
Nice video clip bro
Hey, this video was great. I have a chrome extension that I am both trying to monetize and grow. I have a couple questions after watching this: 1) Is running ads on a chrome extension against TOS? 2) What is the best way to grow a user base for a chrome extension? I am having trouble getting users but my extension is useful and different to competitors on the market. I use it myself and I know there are plenty of people that would as well
1) You'll want to look into this yourself but having looked into it after a previous comment on my channel I believe it might be against their TOS after all. 2) There's no single best way, it'll depend on each situation but you'll certainly want either a free tier or free trial to attract users in a frictionless way and to try and bake in some virality so word of your extension can spread easily. Finally, you can also try some paid ads to seed your user base but you'll want to tread carefully with this as it's easy to burn a lot of money on ads without seeing the return you want.
Thanks so much for your explanation. I'm just a college student and will love to be part of those that will benefit from your knowledge. And want to have you as my mentor. I really want to change my life gor Good because my family background is very poor. Please help me out.
This is a great video! For monetization the best option is Search feed monetization
You're a hundred percent right about the issue of providing a lifetime offer, and the baggage of users.
😠 'PromoSM'
Just discovered tomba email finder chrome extension - it’s like striking gold in the world of B2B leads. A real game changer.
Nice video sir and you are look like Jeff Bezos 😂❤
🤣😢🤣
Very well thought out!
Thanks 🙏
Great video and great story. I'm curious why you decided to create these videos and your course rather than create more micro-saas apps?
Thanks Chris, I still intend to build/grow another Micro SaaS app that will be much bigger than my last ones. I have created a few pre-MVP sites to gauge traffic and interest in the proposed apps so will see how those pan out. In terms of my content and the course, I figured that there must be other software developers out there craving the freedom to work on their own terms and to have more financial freedom. I'd gone all the way from quitting cubicle nation to scaling up and exiting a few years later so figure I'm in a good place to share my learnings before I head in for round two 🙂
@@rickblyth sounds great!
They got greedy. Premium price is not worth it. $10 per month for the best plan would be a reasonable price.
I know people who have all 3,700 prompts from AIPRM behind a pay wall. Those prompt creators on AIPRM aren’t too bright. Thanks for the free IP
Would be great if somebody implements an idea from these videos or 23 ideas book, he/she will share that information here or in Facebook group, so there were no duplicate efforts or an unnecessary competition
Great idea! You could also add bookmarking articles, live comment section on the articles and so on. I think I will be trying this out! Thank you!
Go for it and let me know how you get on 👍
