Build a free tool with a decent community of users in a field you’re good at / interested in. Some of your users will naturally ask if you’re available to freelance for them on adjacent projects.
If you build such a tool with a decent community, why not add a Premium version and charge money for it?
If you already have some software and an active community, you did all the hard work for an SaaS. What's the advantage of focusing on individual client needs at that point instead of expanding the tool and getting customers?
