I have my landing page, what's next?

Hello IHs,

I am building an MVP for a SaaS targeted toward developers that I called "Api my Data". Im short it creates REST apis automatically given a database or data source ex. a Postgres DB or a google sheet.

The MVP is coming along nicely but I thought I would create a landing page to see the interest. The landing page is here:

https://apimydata.dev

Now I think the next step is to go to developer communities and share the landing page link there, to see if anyone is interested. I need your help in the best way to do that and any advise.

Thanks!

    You should improve your SEO, your meta tags are empty - this landing page will have a hard time attracting organic traffic from google.

      will fix that, thanks!

    If you can create some kind of animation demo video that describe how will your system work and put that on your website, then it would be more attractive.

      that would be better for sure, but the front end of the website is not yet done, any thoughts?

    Hey Ahmad, I would maybe do a little more storytelling on this landing page. Identify the pain point your target audience is feeling, and then tell them precisely how Api My Data is going to fix it.

    "How many hours have you spent trying to create your own REST API from a database or Google Sheet? It's painful and time consuming, right?

    What if I said we could spin one up in a few minutes, and let you get back to doing what you do best? With Api My Data, you can automatically generate your own APIs with a few clicks."

    (I'm no expert on your area of expertise, but hopefully you get the idea.)

    Then I would maybe work on reinforcing your brand and building an audience with some content either on a blog or social media. Once your readers associate your brand with value, knowledge, and helpfulness, convincing them that your product is the solution to their problem becomes significantly easier.

    Don't wait to build your audience when you launch, start it now!

      Thanks for the great feedback, I think you are right, I will edit the landing page.

    Hey Ahmad. Actually, you should always start by identifying your target audience and where they hang out. Then it is much easier to get feedback and traffic in your landing page. If you want to get feedback on your page a lot of the WBE Space members are developers, so they might be able to help

      looks like a great community, do you provide trial period?

      1. 1

        yes, tag an indie friend on this tweet and I will give you a trial period

    Content creation! If I were you, I'd start a blog at Hashnode as this is a community with your target audience. Just start writing cool sh*t and networking with folks! Share your Hashnode articles in dev circles here and on other platforms (like Reddit).

    Step 1: Find out where / how to reach out to your potential customers (dev's most likely)
    Step 2: Reach out to the people you found. Ask nicely if maybe they know the problem and would like to try your solution.

    Does that help?
