Here's how I get there with a new SaaS.
→ Product
Focus on the essentials.
Get users onboard early.
You want to get feedback as soon as possible.
→ Growth
Built virality into your product from day 1.
"Powered by" links.
Word of mouth (testimonials).
→ Content
Focus on long-form content.
Blog posts, YouTube tutorials.
Longer build-in-public posts.
→ Outreach
DMs, emails, communities.
You'll replace this method with inbound down the line - but in the beginning, this has huge payoff.
→ Work Focus
Spend most of your time on marketing and distribution. Don't get hung up on the product too early.
In my experience, the flywheel doesn't really kick in until after $10K MRR. Up until that point, it's hard work.
Use this cheat sheet, and you'll be solid!
