Hi HN, I am SAAS Founder, I am not a marketer and as solo founder i don't have time for social media either, I want to know which Channel has best ROI in terms of conversion if i have to pick one instead of all at once.

Looking to your opinions and suggestions

There is no single answer to that. The best channel depends entirely on what audience your product is for.

FWIW, my most successful products had zero social media marketing. Barely any online marketing at all. Radio and in-person events was our jam.
