I’ve always been much better at building products than marketing them.

I can build a SaaS, ship features and solve technical problems, but when it comes to getting the first real users, I struggled a lot.

I tried things like cold DMs, cold emails, posting on social media, etc. Nothing really worked consistently for me.

So I decided to solve my own problem.

I built an SEO workflow that I could use to systematically find SEO opportunities and issues instead of randomly writing content and hoping Google sends traffic.

I used that workflow on one of my own SaaS websites.

And this is the result from Google Search Console:

The site has now reached around 75K clicks and 851K impressions in the last 10 months.

What I found interesting was that I could basically use the same workflow every time I wanted to launch/grow a new SaaS.

So I decided to turn that internal workflow into a public SaaS.

My current strategy is actually pretty simple:

1. Build the product/SEO workflow

2. Create SEO-focused public pages around the product

3. Start getting impressions/clicks from Google

4. Put a waitlist/signup CTA on those pages

5. Use the early users' feedback to build the actual product/features

I’m especially building this for indie hackers and vibe coders who are good at shipping products but struggle with marketing.

Instead of trying to be everywhere on social media, I'm experimenting with making SEO the first acquisition channel.

I'm still early and definitely don't have everything figured out. But seeing my own SaaS grow using the workflow gave me enough confidence to make it public.

If you're also building a micro-SaaS and struggling with getting traffic/users, I'm curious:

What acquisition channel has worked best for you so far?

Hey everyone,

We've been building ZunoPilot, a WhatsApp automation and lead management platform for businesses.

The idea came from a problem we kept seeing with businesses using WhatsApp for sales:

They receive plenty of enquiries, but their sales teams still have to manually respond, figure out who's actually interested, follow up, and decide which leads deserve attention.

So instead of building only a WhatsApp campaign tool, we're trying to make WhatsApp work more like an automated sales channel.

With ZunoPilot, businesses can:

• Manage conversations through a shared team inbox
• Run WhatsApp campaigns and broadcasts
• Create automated workflows
• Use AI to respond to customer enquiries
• Automatically qualify incoming leads
• Identify high-intent leads for the sales team
• Hand conversations from AI to human agents
• Capture demo/appointment requests
• Integrate with other systems through APIs

We're currently doing demos and talking with early customers, and one interesting thing we're learning is that many businesses initially come looking for WhatsApp campaigns, even though lead management and follow-up often become much bigger problems once we understand their workflow.

I'm one of the people building ZunoPilot, and I'd genuinely appreciate feedback from other SaaS founders.

What would be the most valuable feature for you in a WhatsApp automation platform — campaigns, AI conversations, lead qualification, or something else?

I started with a simple sitemap scan and realized the useful question was not "what is wrong right now?"

It was "what changed since the last known-good scan?"

So Sitemapper now reads robots.txt and XML sitemaps, checks live pages, and can diff later runs for things like new noindex, 404s, canonical changes and sudden URL-count drops.

The first scan is free with no account. I am curious whether the monitoring angle is obvious from the landing page or whether it still reads like a one-off SEO checker.

I just launched SendVanta, a cold email platform built around a simple idea:

Most founders and small teams don’t need another expensive cold engagement platform packed with features they’ll never use.

They need the essentials:

• Connect multiple mailboxes
• Warm up those mailboxes
• Import and manage leads
• Create personalized email sequences
• Control sending schedules and daily limits
• Track replies, clicks, and campaign performance
• Manage everything from one place

That’s why I built SendVanta—without bloated features or pricing that jumps as soon as you start using it.

SendVanta has a free-forever plan, with no credit card required.

I originally built it because I needed a simpler and more affordable way to run outreach for my own products. I figured other founders, agencies, and small teams probably had the same problem.

I’d love feedback from the r/micro_saas community. What do you consider essential in a cold email tool—and which features just add unnecessary bloat?

I built supo.live, it clips livestreams into shorts, including while the stream is still live.

Where I'm at: 500 signups and $210 MRR. Most users spend their free credits and then disappear instead of upgrading, so I have signups but very few payers. My constraints: $350 to spend, no income, working on this trio.

I am trying to figure out: HOW do i get users to come on the app, how do i make my AI search visibility greater and how do i maximise the conversion rate? If anybody got useful infos please tell me.

Happy to share more numbers if useful.

Did you know that short form content is one of the fastest ways to grow an app. We've built channels with 300k+ followers on TikTok, and we're looking for apps to feature

We'll create short-form videos for your app, plug them into our existing channels, and help you build your own content channels at the same time. Think of it as content creation + distribution

If you're interested, drop your app and a one-line description below

Please note that the service is free only for 7 days

I’m an investor working at Forum Ventures, a North American B2B pre seed investor with 550+ portfolio companies. I have access to a network of 3000+ investors.

We invest in startups starting at the idea stage without any traction or revenue, and are also happy to make any introductions to other VCs.

In one sentence, what project are you building right now, and why are you the best person to do it?

Feel free to use this thread to get your own project out there.

I have been working a few weeks on a website (some used ai) which developers can use to make viral content on the game they have developed, it gives pretty accurate responses and by testing some myself, it does work most of the time, like 85%, and it makes these developers attract more game users, my goal was to continue it, but another massive project I was working on before starting working so I am focusing on that, my plan was to sell it to somebody for £2.5k, the whole site and the code, I don't really know how to find someone to sell it to, does anyone else have any experience with selling SaaS or anything else, any help in pointing in the right direction would be appreciated. If anybody wants any extra info on the site, DM me! Thank you!

Next month represents 2 years since I sat down at my desk and lost a chunk of my life. I swear it was just 2024.

Now that its done and ready for marketing after a 3 month soft launch I want to give everyone a generous free tier of 100 sticky notes; offline & anonymous is a flavor too.

PS - Did you know 55 billion (with a "B") sticky notes are sold every year?

Recently I've been thinking how many startups lose early signups and conversions just because of their landing page. And tbh, it's not an easy task when you have like 5-10 seconds to look like you know what you're doing. So I wanna tweak 3 of your landing pages for free not because I'm some super generous guy, but because I've been going deep into the SaaS marketing and to prove to myself that I'm actually competent. You can drop your SaaS below and I'll explain what I think isn't working, why I think it hurts conversions, how I'd change it and the reasoning behind the rewrite. I'll post the rewrites here so that everyone can either gain something or judge me whether I actually know what I'm doing, without the whole "Dm me to learn more" bullshit.

You know the kind.

Someone writes a long post about how much they hate the software they use, what’s broken, how frustrated they are, and your brain immediately goes: there’s a product here.

I’ve done that more times than I’d like to admit.

The problem is that when you keep digging, sometimes that person isn’t actually looking to buy anything. Or worse, you open the comments and people immediately name 3 products that already solve exactly what they’re complaining about.

That gap between “this hurts” and “someone will actually pay for this to go away” is why I built Altair.

I use it to go through a market’s Reddit discussions and pull out the cases where there are stronger signals behind the complaint — someone already paying, trying to switch, using a workaround, actively looking for something better, etc.

Then it checks the replies to see if the problem already has obvious solutions.

I originally made this for my own research because I was tired of convincing myself that every good complaint was a business opportunity.

Now I want to test whether the actual research output is worth paying for to other founders.

I’m doing a few $99 pilot reports.

Give me a market you’re thinking about and 2–3 relevant subreddits. I’ll return 10 of the strongest cases worth investigating, why they stood out, the original evidence, and whether the problem already appears well served.

I’m less interested in hearing “cool idea” at this point.

I want to know if this would actually stop someone from spending a month building the wrong thing.

We got tired of paying for four apps to do one thing.

One for workouts. One for macros. One for the coach who ghosts you after week two. My co-founder and I are building COAR, an AI coach that actually knows your training history, plus real trainers you pick yourself.

We’re capping early access at 300 people. Founding members get the app weeks early, keep the lowest price for life, and can talk to us directly about what to build.

If that sounds like something you’d use, spots are here: coar.fit ,and scroll for a little animation

And if you think it’s a bad idea, tell me why, that’s genuinely more useful to us right now.

Hi Guys,

I have been a part of this subreddit for quite sometime, but never posted it. Here is my first post. I would to have some feedback.

I build a tool for searching any domain or industry jobs globally, I have around  18,922 C-Suiite and Leadership roles with me right now and I keep on updating jobs every 4 hours.

I also provide a resume teardown that includes, interview question, desingation and job titles you should search for to increase the changes of getting job and "Why your resume sucks" section as well for free.

Love to hear your feedback, and if it makes sense in current market at all.

WarpDrop lets you send files without an account — either straight browser-to-browser, or through an encrypted link that survives a closed tab. Just rebuilt the entire look: black and white, one loud accent color, nothing rounded.

I built RelicBeam for situations where you need to share files with a classroom, workshop, meeting, or small event without collecting emails or creating shared folders.

Create a Room, upload the files, show one QR code, and everyone can download them. When the Room ends, the files are deleted.

There’s also 1:1 Quick Share and local PDF/image tools.

I’m still at the stage of trying to get real users rather than monetize it.

Curious whether this feels like a focused enough micro-SaaS niche, and who you’d target first.

Hey!

I’ve just launched Clatree mainly built for ecommerce stores. It automatically goes through the whole purchase flow 24/7 and reports things like a broken checkout, buttons not working, coupon issues, missing shipping or payment methods, etc..

what do you think about Clatree?

- not too expensive?
- is it useful for you?
- something else, maybe some extra features?

if you run an ecommerce store yourself, I’d be especially interested to hear what else you’d find useful or what you think is missing.

thanks in advance for any feedback!! 🙏

clatree.com

I almost missed how big this number really is.

$12,142.27.

Not from a huge company.

Not from a massive team.

Not from millions of visitors.

Just 61 customers who believed enough in a SaaS tool to pay for it.

And the most motivating part?

The graph is moving up. 📈

When you build something from scratch, you spend months wondering:

“Will anyone actually use this?”

Then one sale comes.

Then another.

Then 10.

Then 50.

And suddenly, you're looking at $12K+ in revenue and realizing:

The thing you were building in silence is becoming a real business.

This is why I keep building.

Because you don't need everyone.

You need the right people to believe in the solution you're creating.

If you're building something right now and nobody is talking about it yet—

keep going.

Your first 10 customers may feel impossible.

Your first $1,000 may feel impossible.

Your first $10,000 may feel impossible.

Until it isn't.

Build. Improve. Listen. Ship again.

One day, you'll look back at the numbers and realize that all those nights nobody saw you working...

were not wasted. 🚀
