Any platform that can help new saas projects get more users?

At present, I know that Product Hunt and AppSumo platforms have relatively large traffic and are suitable for marketing.

    These are what we're trying out

    1. 2

      Which one worked bets for you?

      1. 1

        All of these in different ways. I have another 30 that doesn't count because of pricing, Domain Authority, submission process, and so on. Product Hunt is the best one for me, but honestly, nothing can beat AppSumo

        1. 1

          Thanks for sharing.

      Thanks for your sharing!

    Who's your audience?

    Show up where they are. That really is the key to good/effective marketing -> the better you know your audience, and where they go to either get answers to their questions or find products that solve their problems, the more effective your marketing efforts will be.

    I could suggest options like:

    • ProductHunt
    • Betalist
    • Reddit
    • Google ads
    • Facebook ads

    etc, but if your target audience is not on these platforms, or not receptive to your message while on them, any dollars spent will be wasted.

      paid ads are awesome and meta Ads are so cheap.

    2. 1

      Thanks, got it! And our audience includes indie makers, marketers, reporters, etc.

    Reddit is a good place to try.
    I'm also trying X and LinkedIn.
    If you have a kickass landing page try featuring in Awwwards, 10words.io, Onepagelove.

      Thanks, I will try it. Although Reddit is a good platform, I didn’t get great tips, so it’s not working right now.

        1. 1

          Thanks, I will check it!

    you bet, how about Reddit, Google ads?
    btw, regularly post blogs, articles, tutorials, or updates on platforms like Dev and Hashnode, HackerNoon.

    Try running tweet ads on Twitter. It has some great targeting features.

    1. 1

      Thanks, but we have small budget.

      1. 1

        Then try drippi.ai best twitter outreach tool. Or setup a fully automated cold email system.

    Email marketing

    -If you have your own list, you can definitely launch successfully there.

    -If you don't, partner with an influencer in the niche of your product.
    Either pay them, let them be an affiliate, or exchange something of equivalent value.

    1. 1

      Conversion is 90% your list and 10% your sales skills . at least my POV

        1. 1

          If you don't have your list with potential leads, you might be overworking. It all start with good research. Who's your ICP and how to find them

    2. 1

      Thanks, I got it! It is useful!

    If it's an AI-related product, then I'd recommend to consider AI aggregators for traffic generation. Most of them are paid but you are able to find some for free or very little payment.

    From our personal experience, it brings pretty decent amount of traffic. Among all the aggregators we tried, the best one was TopAi Tools. It costs like $35 or around that for basic feature.
    However, we didn't try more expensive ones like "There is AI for That". It costs around $200 but people say it also helps a lot.

    1. 1

      We will create AI-related product later. Thanks!

    Yes! Can we talk on twitter? I can send you a link there. It's not allowing me to post links here.

    1. 1

      Sure! My Twitter: @ShirleyLi_

    Well, Reddit is one, but i don't have any success posting there, so can't suggest anything good, but i know @marclou is pretty good at this.

    1. 1

      Yes, I haven't been successful there either.
