    Versoly - Easily build a SaaS landing page that actually converts

    This is my first post on 30 Days of Growth, little late hope that is fine :) My goal with this is to keep me accountable and help with growth.

    We have been building a side project called SaaS Pages it will allow users to see the best landing pages from the top SaaS companies. The idea isn't new however we have a unique twist on it which is filtering by block type. When building a landing page you normally go block by block.

    Hopefully this will serve as a marketing tool for Versoly. It will also give us some experience with PH when we launch our main product.

    What did you do yesterday?

    • Had a personal day off

    ๐Ÿ‘‰ Finally updated the blog post content about Google Analytics Real-Time alerts added a bunch of new content and made it Structured Data friendly for Google Search. Hopefully, this will work, and StatsGlitch search result will occupy more screen area, therefore catch more attention.

    ๐Ÿ”จ Daily cold mailing

    1. 1

      Did you work with NewsWatch? What was your experience?

      1. 1

        No, they're just selling their articles, and the initial pitch is hiding this fact. However, they disclosed that they offer only paid partnership very soon during the talk (and the conversation was 99% about them), so they don't waste much time :)

    This month I'm working on growing Indie Hackers' milestones feature.

    ๐Ÿ‘ทโ€โ™€๏ธ TODAY I'm going to add even more subscribers to the new "top milestones" email. The stats so far have been promising. The daily version seems to be a lot more engaging than the weekly one, so I'm going to default everyone to that.

    We help you to launch your project - https://launchpropeller.com

    Finally I can join the 30 Days Challenge :) After my first experiments with $1 Feedback and "Rent a Hive" I took the concept to the next level and made a nice website. The previous projects were two-day projects with a quick launch and semi-professional websites, but some people liked the idea.

    โœ… What did you do yesterday?
    I've made the website nice with a lot of offerings (service cards). I'm accepting external services on the site now as well. So if you can help developers to launch their project you can join the site.

    ๐Ÿ‘ทโ€โ™€๏ธ What are you doing today?
    Launching it!

  12. 1

    Day 17 for Pulsemetrics.io

    โœ… Waffled back and forth with a guy about his availability for us to set up a metrics platform for him. Submitted a post idea to Maker Mag, next step is to hope that they take it. I also did a few things for the dating app I'd been working on as a side project.

    ๐Ÿ† Threw an event for the dating app, wouldn't call it a total failure but certainly fewer people came than we wanted to, still got some great beta testing of the app in action however! Got one new signup, I think today and tomorrow will be good barometers of where we go from here.

    ๐Ÿ‘ทโ€โ™€๏ธ Today I'm going to send out emails to our mailing list going over the various updates we've made to the service over the last few weeks. I'm going to look for other "collaborator" publications that I could submit content to as well. Share out articles over our respective channels, etc.
