@timothy_bramlett SaaS Bootstrapping Tips Part 1

This bootstrapper launched a product and he’s already making $1,100 a month, just 60 days after launch.
And here are his tips. What he has learned after 60 days already having some success, and I completely agree with his tips.
Launch Publicly, Even If It Feels Too Early
The first one is launch publicly, even if it feels too early.
And I was just talking to a guy on a Notifier onboarding call today who wanted to use Notifier to market his product and do idea validation, but yes, launch early. Launch on Product Hunt, launch on Reddit in certain communities. I have an article about where to post on Reddit. I can make a video if there’s enough interest, but there are certain specific subreddits that are very easy for you to post on.
But launch publicly, do not be afraid to do so. You need to get it into the hands of other users, or at the very least, you need to have a test customer that you’re directly developing with.
Be Consistent in Public
His next piece of advice is be consistent in public.
Yes, consistent content is incredibly important, and that’s why I’m actually growing so regularly on TikTok because I get videos out every single day, regardless of how bad some of them are.
And the funny thing is, some of my worst videos, or at least the videos that I think are the worst where I’m rambling, stuttering, those actually get the most views, so it’s crazy. You never know what’s gonna get the most views.
Target Pain With SEO
He says target pain with SEO. This is an interesting one.
SEO is definitely the king, the undisputed king still, of driving traffic to a product. But it can be very difficult to do SEO at the scale you’re gonna need to do it in order to get traffic to a product.
Talk to Every Single User
His next piece of advice is to talk to every single user.
Now, this is absolutely true, and of course I’ve created videos on how big I am on this, but you need to send a feedback request to every single user that signs up for your application. Only a few will respond, but those few that do respond, you need to get on calls with them just like I do with the Notifier onboarding calls.
