If you had to grow a SaaS from 0 users today, what marketing strategy would you choose?

I'm curious how experienced founders approach SaaS marketing in 2026.

There are so many options:

• SEO

• Reddit

• X (Twitter)

• Product Hunt

• Content marketing

• YouTube

• Cold email

• Paid ads

• Affiliates

• Influencer marketing

• Communities

If you were starting with a small budget, where would you spend your time and money first?

I'd especially love to hear:

• What channel brought your first 100 customers?

• Which marketing tactic had the highest ROI?

• What ended up being a waste of time?

• Any underrated growth strategies you'd recommend?

Looking forward to learning from everyone's experience.
