Curious on how everyone here markets their SaaS. I've built a couple SaaS projects and looking for some ideas on bringing them to market. thank you for your time. Cheers -Yuriy

Hi all — I’ve been struggling with getting the first paying customer for my SaaS, and I know a lot of people here have been too. I spent some time working through it last week, and here’s a simple approach I used that costs less than $10/month: 1. Stop building and start validating with real users. I reached out directly to potential users (LinkedIn, Reddit, niche communities) and asked for honest feedback before adding more features. 2. Set up a simple landing page (Carrd / Notion / Framer). No fancy product — just clear problem, solution, and a waitlist or “book a demo” button. 3. Offer a “done-with-you” early version instead of full service/automation. Instead of waiting for a perfect SaaS, I manually delivered the outcome for the first users and learned what actually mattered. 4. Use a simple CRM + follow-up system (Google Sheets + Gmail templates). Tracked every conversation and followed up every 2–3 days — this alone increased replies a lot. 5. Close the first users manually before building anything scalable. Only started automating once I saw repeated demand. The biggest shift was realizing the first customer doesn’t come from the product — it comes from conversations. If anything is unclear, let me know. Hope this helps you 🙏
