Visual guide SaaS for users hesitant to perform PC hardware repairs.

Opportunity: The user is dealing with a common PC hardware issue—potential SSD failure after a power outage—and has been advised to take a diagnostic step, which involves removing the SSD. However, their main hurdle is inexperience and fear: "I’ve never done it before, and there’s some kind of protector over it that wasn’t coming off easily, so I stopped." This highlights a significant niche: users who can follow instructions but lack the confidence and specific visual guidance to perform even basic hardware manipulations, especially when they encounter minor unexpected obstacles like a "protector" (likely an M.2 heatsink or a drive bay cover).

Product Form: A SaaS platform offering a library of ultra-clear, high-definition video and annotated photographic guides for common PC component troubleshooting, removal, and installation.

• Key Features:
  • Component-Specific & Obstacle-Specific Guides: Not just "how to remove an SSD," but "how to safely remove an M.2 SSD under a heatsink shield on an Armory Desktop PC" or "how to open an ASUS ROG Strix G15 to access the SSD."
  • Focus on Confidence Building: Narration and visuals emphasizing safety, common mistakes to avoid, and reassurance. Clearly show how to handle "protectors," stubborn screws, or delicate connectors.
  • Tool Identification: Clearly show which tools are needed and how to use them correctly.
  • Troubleshooting Steps: Include short "what if" scenarios (e.g., "if the cover is stuck here...").
  • Searchable Database: Users can search by PC model (if popular), component type, or specific problem.

Expected Revenue:

• Business Model: Pay-per-guide or a small subscription for access to a category of guides.
  • Pay-per-guide: A user with this specific problem might pay $3 - $7 to unlock a detailed guide titled "Safely Removing Your SSD from an Armory Desktop After Power Failure (including common covers/shields)."
  • Subscription (Tiered): Perhaps $5/month for access to all "Storage Device" guides, or $15/month for all PC hardware guides.
• Potential: If the platform develops a comprehensive library for common PC models and components and effectively markets to DIY forums, Reddit communities, and search engine queries like "how to remove SSD [PC model]," it could attract thousands of users.
  • Even with a conservative estimate of 500 guide purchases per month at an average of $5, this would generate $2,500/month.
  • With a larger, well-indexed library and better SEO, attracting 2,000-5,000 users/month at $5 per guide could generate $10,000 - $25,000/month.
  • The primary value is addressing the immediate fear and uncertainty for a specific, urgent problem, making a small one-time payment highly attractive.
