Testedrecruits.com - I built a recruiting software in-house that has helped me hire hundreds of people. I tried to turn it into a software as a service and never got anywhere and never got anywhere.
RomyLMS.com - same thing here, I built training software that I use to run University level courses for my employees. Employees. I converted it to software as a service, and no one used it.
My lesson from both is that if you are not going to be putting full-time marketing and sales effort into a software as a service, you'll have a very hard time beating established competitors.
I think that the software as a service area now has started to become saturated as people view it as easy money. I think the true easy money right now is actually in the construction trades and manufacturing. Building skills in each of those areas will reap long-term rewards for those who do so.
