The problem it solves
Poor user experiences in software applications that lead to user dissatisfaction and low retention rates.
How it makes money
Hourly consulting fees or project-based pricing, with potential monthly retainers for ongoing support.
Skills you need
Expertise in user experience design, familiarity with design tools and principles, and strong communication skills to collaborate with clients.
The market, and why this works now
The rise of remote work has increased the demand for user-friendly software and applications. A viable first-revenue move is to join the User Experience subreddit, where businesses often seek advice and services for improving their digital products. However, founders should consider the potential challenge of high customer acquisition costs, particularly when competing with established design firms that already have a strong market presence.
