#23I think you need to try multiple methods at the start such as cold outreaches, social media, direct DMs, work on your website SEO have a strategy build high authority backlinks, and blog to find out which preform better. Also don't expect every person you contact would reply because most won't. if i may ask what's your SaaS website or niche.

#24What still works, but ofc depends on what you've made, is to reduce signup friction to minimum or skip it if you don't need user info. Then ensure the data you produce is easily shareable and by the network effect your users can market your service. To bootstrap initial spark you need to share these links yourself in communities which would be interested in your data. Please don't spam. Obviously converting freeloaders into customers is another book to learn.

#27I run a bootstrapped B2B SAAS (12+ years now) and I have seen it all, made all the mistakes possible and had enough wins over the years to keep going. The first thing to understand is that there is no one size fits all. You have to start somewhere keep iterating. Ok you probably already knew that but wanted to preface anyway to set expectations. Overall, You have to start with the WHO. Who is this product really for…
