Week 1: Getting beta users

Last week I launched GuideSail in beta. Completely free and unlimited for beta users until the complete launch in January.

Week 1 went okay, I fell short of my goal # of users I wanted. But this is directly correlated to my marketing efforts. I posted on twitter, a single post on reddit, and I listed on a small SaaS directory.

This coming week I will be doing targeted outreach to potential users. Hoping this is more informative.
