What have you been doing this week to grow your product?

Weekly growth notes is the chance to share what you've been up to recently with a focus on growing your product.

  • what have you been doing recently to grow your product?
  • what has worked?
  • what hasn't worked?
  • what have you learned?
  • AND what can indie hackers help you with?

By sharing openly we can not only support each other but we also have the opportunity to learn and be inspired by each others work.

    • Got some backlinks for https://saaspages.xyz/ from a bunch of IHs :), will have to wait and see the results.
    • Working on some SaaS content that I hope can do well on Hacker News
    • Looking at adding 2 "product led growth" tactics into https://versoly.com/, will have more information about it at a later date.

    Last 30 days Product Hunt, Google organic, Design Notes and Indie Hackers have driven the most traffic to SaaS Pages in that order.

    And of course always talking to customers and potential customers when I can.

      Now I'm curious, how did you get backlinks from 'a bunch of IHs'?

      1. 2

        One example would be https://www.colorsandfonts.com/designer.html by @Michael_Andreuzza

        A lot of IHs have created directories that get traffic, so I just reach out and as we have a common interest they normally say yes.

          One thing to take into account when buildings backlinks is the rel"nofollow" tag.

          If the developer includes it, it won't have effect on Google rankings.

            Good tips guys! Once we get our landing pages setup I may start exploring this within our community.

              What are you working on @CaveyJay ?

              1. 1

                We are working on a Saas product to help small startup brands in the fashion industry (apparel, cosmetics, etc.) centrally manage their product planning processes.

                This week, we are continuing to speak with users while building out our site's SEO pages.

    Still working on product market fit, so not focused on growth yet. Throughout the week I've been interviewing a lot of potential customers. The Mom Test book helped keep these conversations useful.

    They will get to know when new colors, typography are up once a month.

          Hah, I know the feeling of committing to a newsletter. Easy to start one, harder to maintain it!

          1. 1

            I dont know the feeling still, is my first one, I still have to go thru a "how to do it"

            It will be an easy one tho.
