710% Growth on my tiny productivity tool hit differently, here is what worked in January
I started building this tool on January 2025, launched in june 20, 2025.
But I was stragling to get users in my tool. As a Design Founder I know how to design tool, how to develop but marketing was hard.
Then I list down couple of things that I found from reddit & determine that I will do that next 1 month. And I did.
What was a fact:
Our tool is kind of new and need to educate our users why this will be best for your daily usage.
What I did:
- create content calander for 1 month
- create user persona about who will use our app
- listed couple of platform I need to post daily
- brainstrom about hook, what hook title maters most
- posted daily on that platforms
Last 1 month I did this simple things and its changed the way I was expecting 🙌
Didn't overcomplicated marketing and shifted mind to simple but usable thing.

I learned the hard way that strategy fails without proper diagnosis
A job board focusing on remote impact jobs
What stood out to me here wasn’t the 710%, but how simple and repeatable the changes were. Creating a content cadence, clarifying who the tool is for, and showing up daily tends to compound quietly over time.
I’ve seen similar patterns where growth looks sudden on a chart, but it’s really the result of removing confusion and being consistent long enough for it to click. Thanks for sharing the breakdown — it’s a good reminder not to overcomplicate early marketing.
710% growth in a month is impressive! I love that you're sharing the specific strategies. For early-stage SaaS, these small wins and tactics compounding really do make the difference. Would love to see a breakdown of which channel or tactic had the highest ROI. Great transparency!
Congrats!
Huge congrats on the 710% growth!
Thank you man 🙌
