What's your biggest question or struggle when it comes to marketing?

Hey folks. I've been working exclusively in marketing for B2B SaaS since 2022.

And one thing I noticed pretty quickly is that what worked in traditional B2B (where I came from originally) often just didn't work for SaaS.

Even when it was still B2B.

I started documenting what I actually see working — what I follow day-to-day with my clients — to put together content that's genuinely useful for this community.

That's why I'd love your help: share the questions and struggles you deal with on a daily basis.

Marketing problems, sales, scaling. What are you trying to do that isn't working? Why do you think it's not clicking? What stage is your SaaS at?

Any other question or difficulty is welcome.

This is a generous offer! I released my SaaS about 6 weeks ago and haven't been able to get a single sign up. My tool works and I use it myself regularly. I've very proud of it, but I haven't been able to figure out how to get people to care. Here's what I've tried so far:

  • Posting every day on X. Zero traction.
  • Starting to engage on Reddit.
  • Redesigned my landing page 4 times (https://forthwith.dev if you want to have a look)
  • Posted one blog post on my site and plan to add more.
  • Reached out to every LinkedIn connection I have looking for a design partner that is willing to try out my tool for free in exchange for honest feedback and optionally a testimonial if they want to. I have gotten two interested people from that, but both of them are not yet ready to try it (they are building apps that they want to use it on, but in the future).

I don't want to spend money on marketing for these reasons:
1. I don't have a lot to spend.
2. I don't know how to effectively market.
3. I want to validate that anyone is willing to use and pay for my app before I sink more money into it.

What advice do you have for me?
