Crossed $1K MRR & 500+ users in just 3.5 months — all with free marketing.

I built Slashit App with a simple goal, save time for people who type the same things every day.

Here’s what actually worked for us 👇
✅ Shared daily updates on LinkedIn & X (not using Facebook)
✅ Commented on startup promo posts like “Pitch your SaaS”
✅ Launched on Product Hunt
✅ Promoted on SaaS listing sites (mix of free + paid)
✅ Cold DMs on LinkedIn — 60% reply rate! (I’ll share this strategy soon)

And what didn’t work ❌
– Reddit paid + organic (banned without reason 🙃)
– Closed community people saying “great idea” but never buying 😂

Lesson learned: Build. Show up daily. Keep testing. Ignore the noise.

    Did X already have an audience, or was it a new account with zero followers?
