I like the strategy to identify prospective businesses. In the case of the particular business you looked at, it might have been included in Gemini's cons list but a big one for me would be how much (and how fast) the value of the information in the ebook will decline over time. It's a bit like fish. Some people are already saying that SaaS applications will be replaced by AI, or moats crossed by clone apps created with AI. Leaving aside the logic, demand will slow as time passes if the contents of the book are not updated to reflect market shifts. What I am trying longwindedly to say is it's better to aim for a subject that is the beginning of the trend curve not well along it. For example an ebook about how AI will replace SaaS... :-)

Completely agree, and definitely factored that in. I guess one option could be to add new chapters over time, like How to build a SaaS using AI, but then why not just create something like that from scratch right

With AI you can do due diligence and evaluation. Good job!
