HOW TO LAUNCH YOUR SAAS IN 48 HOURS

You've got an idea. It's been sitting in your head for months, maybe years. You keep telling yourself you'll build it 'when you have time.' Here's the truth: you'll never have time. You have to make time.

And here's the good news: you only need 48 hours.

HOUR 0-4: THE FOUNDATION

Grab a SaaS kit. Not a tutorial, not a boilerplate—a complete kit with authentication, billing, dashboards, and landing pages already built. Your first four hours should be customization, not creation.

Change the colors. Update the copy. Add your logo. You should have a working prototype by lunch on day one.

HOUR 4-12: THE CORE FEATURE

Every SaaS needs one thing that makes it valuable. ONE thing. Not five features, not a platform—one core value proposition. Build that and only that.

Use the pre-built components from your kit. Wire up the database. Get the basic flow working. It doesn't need to be perfect. It needs to be functional.

HOUR 12-24: THE POLISH

Sleep on it. Seriously. Come back fresh. Now clean up the rough edges. Test the critical paths. Fix the obvious bugs. Write the essential copy.

HOUR 24-36: THE LAUNCH PREP

Set up your payment processing. Write your launch tweet. Create your Product Hunt submission. Prepare your email to your network. Line up everything.

HOUR 36-48: GO LIVE

Deploy. Announce. Share. Then step away from the computer and take a breath. You just did what most people never do: you shipped.

THE SECRET

The secret isn't working faster. It's working smarter. Pre-built kits, templates, and assets let you skip the boilerplate and focus on what makes your product unique.

48 hours. No excuses. What are you going to build?
