How I Got First 10 Customers for My SaaS Product in 1 Week? No Paid Ads (2024)
🔥Growing your SaaS products consists of four stages: the first 10 users, 10-100 customers, 100-1000 paying users, and finally, 1000+ fans.
The first stage, the first 10 users, is the most important and challenging in your SaaS startup journey.
It’s not about money, profits, and scaling.
It’s more about validating your idea and finding the initial product market fit.
In this video, I’m sharing how we got the first users to our 2 products, SocialInsight and Opesta, in record time.
Learn from it and give your software startup a chance to survive this first turbulent growth stage!

      Some of our clients are going through this phase 2-3 years until they finally figure this out. I'm pretty sure you're close to cracking it. Keep it pushing, my friend. And yes, I'd be glad to get updates on it! Usually, starting SaaS as a second business is much easier. Here is my thoughts on it: czcams.com/video/KgqAG_-TbEk/video.html

    Great view, i am also a frontend developer and during my learnings, i got two ideas of building both mobile and web application, one is a social media app and the other is an ai, i have not started them yet because i come from africa and here investors and technology is too low, now i need to migrate or move to countries good in technology and good at marketing because right now i have found out that even if you have a great idea with poor marketing, you die with your idea in your mind, so i need to move to countries like US, UK, china , india because those are some of the countries i know good in technology business, i also started a website 2 month ago and have also got like 200 to 300 users but i lack marketing and the bad thing am doing this alone, i need help or group so that i can share them with my ideas and see if they can join me but it is also hard, but what i request, you can give me some advice or anything you know which can help me, and also the website i started is called mergesociety.com

    • @softformance
      @softformance Před 5 hodinami

      As a former software engineer, I can relate to this. We focus on building the product too much and on business and customer side too little. You need to learn sales and customers stuff before building the product. Audience first, product second :-)

    Thanks Vitaly for this incredible knowledge you just shared. The last 2 are my preferable but mostly the last one since it is in my mind thought I don't know how to bring it to life. I've even checked on your website and I've found that you've done great work. As of me, I'm just starting up with this industry and I've gone the way of no code tools since I can't write codes or hire experts like you at the beginning of the first MVP maybe later when upgrading.
