The 8 best marketing channels & how you can use them

I've built 15+ SaaS & acquired 25000+ customers To do that, I've studied 100+ SaaS startups to understand how they get customers. Here are 8 best marketing channels & how you can use them 👇

1. ProductHunt I've ranked #1 on product hunt multiple times with all my products. This is a gold mine for getting new customers. I did it so much that I ended up Maker of the year 2022 😎 - consider it

Here is an epic guide to building your product hunt strategy softr.io/blog/producthunt-launch

2. Crunchbase Let's say you have an enterprise solution Got to Crunchbase & look for all the startups that raised funds in the last 2 months & are in your niche. They are literally your customers, with NO budget problems

Here's how you do it - about.crunchbase.com/blog/find-your-next-customer-with-crunchbase

3. SEO From Day 1, you should start investing in SEO. This is still one of the best ways to generate inbound leads. A good SEO strategy can be like being #1 on product hunt every day

Dear Startups, SEO is NOT tough. It is just poorly taught. In 9 tweets, I will explain SEO using the analogy of a LIBRARY. Even a 5-year old would understand! Promise :) Thread 🧵 (Bonus video included!)

4. Cold Outreach Use tools like hunter.io & find emails of all the companies you'd want to target.

Here's how you write a killer cold email -

One cold email can change your life. Here's how to write a great one:

5. Hacker News I've seen a lot of tech founders reaching out to other developers & tech founders on HackerNews, just to ask them for feedback on their product. Most of them got new customers from there.

@zerotousers has explained this beautifully here - indiehackers.com/post/hacker-news-the-only-acquisition-channel-where-commenting-works-better-than-posting-95d818a182

6. Reddit Believe it or not, Reddit works. There are over 100k active communities on Reddit. You just have to find ones in your niche.

7. LinkedIn/Twitter Telling stories will never get old. In 2023, if you're not building your personal brand, you're losing out on billions of dollars worth of opportunities. Building a personal brand is the highest ROI activity. I've explained it here -twitter.com/tibo_maker/status/1592476008493506560?s=20

8. Word of Mouth We got a fair share of users for Tweet Hunter & Taplio just from word of mouth. People liked using our products, they told their friends, & we got new customers.
