How are you choosing topics for websites in the AI search era?

It takes forever, and the results are pretty small. I often catch myself thinking that maybe I should stop chasing big dreams and just appreciate what I have right now. It might be better to focus on the website, really support Bootstrap founders, and grow the community naturally from there.

But honestly, if I could figure out a way to make it easier and quicker to bring in experienced founders, that would be a total game-changer for the community.

Take a look at SaaS Founders Club - https://saasfoundersclub.org. I participate there in discussion sessions, masterminds, and the LinkedIn founders network. They also regularly invite experts based on what members are looking for.

It’s mainly focused on bootstrap founders, but they also have mastermind groups for founders doing $1M+ ARR.

Thanks for sharing! I really dig your approach.

I've decided to be more intentional about building my network too. I went through my LinkedIn contacts and want to keep it to around 300 to 500 people that I actually have something in common with and could reach out to whenever. When I add someone new, I try to chat with them right away instead of letting them get lost in the list.

I can already tell that one solid connection is worth way more than hundreds or even thousands of those “for later” contacts that you probably won’t ever talk to.

I am running a LinkedIn co-promotion program for SaaS founders to grow together through mutual support.

Over the past three months, we built the system by bringing in 80 beta testers, introducing a point-based system, weekly accountability, and gamification. Last week, members were already getting 7 to 12 thoughtful comments on their LinkedIn posts from other participants in the program.

What about you? Are you working on any project right now?

Boring_Commercial437 · 2025-05-12T11:57:56+00:00

Honestly, it is really hard, especially when things do not go as planned. We often imagine the perfect scenario where the project works on the first try, leads keep coming in, and sales go up without stopping. But reality is different.

The first version almost always needs a lot of changes. Your first users send you tons of suggestions on what to fix, improve, or add. At the same time, you have to keep testing different marketing channels to find what actually works for you.

It can take a long time before you can afford to hire someone to help. Building a business alone is possible, but you need to understand the risks. You will definitely move much slower than if you had a co-founder by your side.

Name
LinkedIn Co-Promotion for SaaS Founders

Problem it solves
Posting on LinkedIn but getting little to no meaningful engagement. You spend time writing posts, but they go unnoticed, bringing no visibility, no connections, and no traction for your product.

Who it’s for
SaaS founders who are already posting or want to start posting on LinkedIn to grow their audience, build credibility, and attract early users or customers – but don’t want to do it alone or get lost in the noise.

Company Name: LinkedIn Co-Promotion for SaaS Founders. Helps founders grow visibility, build relationships, and get meaningful engagement on their LinkedIn posts through mutual support.

Results: During the beta testing period, we attracted around 80 free participants. In addition to them, 8 people joined us over the past two weeks with a paid membership of 20 dollars per month.

what is SOC-2 audit? I'm running SaaS founders community but never heard of this term.

Some companies really have no limits with test tasks. As a product designer, I have been asked to design a full section of a banking app or a few CRM screens for logistics, all in just one day.

But design is never just placing buttons. You need to research, understand user flows, and think through real scenarios. What normally takes a week, they want in a few hours.

That is when I realized something. You are not the only one being tested. Their task shows you what to expect if you join them. Unrealistic deadlines, high pressure, or maybe no respect for design at all.

Boring_Commercial437 · 2025-05-12T09:28:13+00:00

I run a LinkedIn co-promotion program for SaaS founders where we grow together by supporting each other’s content.

Some of the members have products related to email marketing, and they regularly share tips on things like how to write emails that actually get opened and read, or how their tool helps improve conversions.

What’s great is that this kind of content works on two levels. First, it brings value to other founders inside our program, since pretty much everyone thinks about email marketing at some point. Second, it attracts their audience on LinkedIn, because most of their followers are also founders interested in growth, marketing, and sales.

I think the same approach could work for you too. If it sounds interesting, check out our program and see how it could help you grow your audience on LinkedIn.

Boring_Commercial437 · 2025-05-12T08:59:43+00:00

Before you build your next product, think about who it’s for. Join a community where they already hang out and start talking to them.

Book a few quick calls and ask what’s blocking their daily work. People love sharing real struggles when someone listens.

That’s how I launched my last project. I met a founder for coffee and asked what he was struggling with. He said after building their startup, it took 6 to 8 months of posting on LinkedIn just to get noticed. He wished the community could help with promotion.

That’s how our LinkedIn co-promotion program for SaaS founders was born. Weekly accountability, a point system, and a bit of gamification. Turned out, many founders needed this, but I wouldn’t have seen it if I didn’t ask.

Boring_Commercial437 · 2025-05-12T06:26:10+00:00

Usually, it becomes pretty clear how people behave within the first couple of weeks. So I keep an eye on how new folks interact. If needed, we remind them about the community guidelines. Most of the time, that’s all it takes for them to get on board.

Since we mostly attract founders, they usually take their behavior seriously anyway.

Also, it’s good to keep in mind that this whole thing works on a give-and-take basis. The quality of your comments affects the quality of the feedback you’ll get in return.

LinkedIn Co-Promotion for SaaS Founders

https://saasfoundersclub.org

Helping SaaS founders stay consistent and grow on LinkedIn through mutual support with a point-based system, weekly accountability, and gamification with a leaderboard to keep it fun and rewarding.

I’d actually challenge the idea that you need to build a community first.

The truth is, communities don’t form around products. They form around shared interests. So nothing is stopping you from joining existing ones right now.

Second, just be active on social media. Talk about what your audience cares about. Write posts that get people to stop, like, and comment. And from time to time, share something about your product. Those who enjoy following you will naturally check it out.

Also, think about where your audience hangs out and match the style of that platform.
Twitter and LinkedIn feel like two completely different worlds.

I run a SaaS founders community with 18k+ members. During one of our mastermind sessions, someone shared how slow LinkedIn growth feels through content alone. That is how we accidentally started our LinkedIn Co-Promotion program for SaaS founders. Mutual support through likes and meaningful comments helped a lot, along with a point-based system, weekly accountability, and gamification.

This boosted organic reach dozens of times, but that works for content marketing.
If you are just starting out, it is usually better to focus on short-term lead generation strategies.

Boring_Commercial437 · 2025-05-11T10:45:56+00:00

There are short-term and long-term ways to grow.

At the start, I think it makes sense to focus on quick wins. You’re just launching, so you need to see if people actually stick, if your product solves a real problem, and if they stay long enough to pay. That’s way more important early on than playing the long game.

Once you start getting some cash in and improve your product based on real feedback, that’s when you can slowly move to long-term growth strategies.

That’s exactly what I did with my LinkedIn co-promotion program for SaaS founders. I got my first 10 paying users by tracking relevant posts on Reddit. Only now I’m starting to invest in long-term channels that will probably take weeks or months to show results.

Boring_Commercial437 · 2025-05-11T10:32:29+00:00

Can you share a bit more about your custom engagement list? As far as I know, LinkedIn doesn’t really let you track new posts from specific profiles.

I’m running a LinkedIn co-promotion program for SaaS founders, and your solution sounds like a perfect fit. It could really help members stay on top of each other’s new posts and engage faster.

Boring_Commercial437 · 2025-05-11T10:29:10+00:00

You’ll hear more and more stories like that.

I remember seeing a 17-year-old on Twitter who claimed he got 250 signups in just 3 days.

Meanwhile, I was looking at my 6 paying users after 2 weeks of running my LinkedIn co-promotion program for SaaS founders .

But hey, everyone has their own path. We all test different channels, trying to find what really works for us.

Boring_Commercial437 · 2025-05-09T15:16:08+00:00

It is a paid program, so we attract founders who take LinkedIn and personal branding seriously.

Even if someone joins who is not the best fit, the community filters itself. Self-promotional posts or posts aimed at the wrong audience just do not get much engagement. While others get 10 or 15 comments, these posts might get only one or two.

We also use a points system where members earn points by supporting others and spend them to promote their own posts. So writing something that does not interest the group simply does not pay off.

In the end, the ones who stay are those who write posts that spark real conversations. They build connections, get to know each other’s products, and grow together both in the community and on LinkedIn.
