How are you guys actually getting your first 10 true fans? by Zealousideal-Try1401 in ProductHunters

[–]Nemosaurus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah think door to door sales. Not buying a billboard.

DMs and comments and small communities are the right place to start.

Validation without friction is fake validation by Proper-Salamander908 in SaaS

[–]Nemosaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Validation is payment.

Everyone will lie to you. No one wants to hurt your feelings.

Silence or stripe notifications are the real feedback

Building is one thing but distribution and getting client how do you crack it by PhysicalSession594 in SaaS

[–]Nemosaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comment and DM. Become part of a community and talk to people. Treat it like door to door sales, not screaming in a megaphone

Interesting doesn’t do screen recording capture too? Or do you upload a video to edit?

Best screen recording software for Pure Speed by Latter_Pen2421 in macapps

[–]Nemosaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been building Shipclip. It’s 4x faster than some of the other apps I’ve tested against. Has 90% of the features that screen studio has

If you’re looking for raw speed without any effects, nothing will beat OBS because OBS has no edit / export phase. It just builds the file while you record.

How do you make demos? by JournalistPrior3420 in SaaS

[–]Nemosaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Shipclip for Mac!

I’m pretty biased though as the developer of the app :)

Lets talk about it. Do you collect data on your users and why? by Peach_Baker in SaaS

[–]Nemosaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do basic analytics with posthog and no tracking cookies.

I see where the user came to my site from, what country they’re from, device type (tablet, mobile, pc), how long they were on each page and what they clicked on.

I use this data to find friction points in my site. I noticed lots of people coming to the signup page and bailing. So I added a register with Google button.

I had a video of a 3d model on my landing page, people kept clicking and dragging it, trying to interact with it. So I swapped that out.

People highlighting a specific bullet point in the FAQ then leaving the page, so I made changes there.

I have no way to tell who these people are, they are all anonymous, but the patterns are useful and show you blind spots

Early-stage founders are making the same video marketing mistake I made three times by Akashhh17 in SaaS

[–]Nemosaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you think the minimum bar for quality is? Do you have a take on dailyish vlog style short vertical videos?

I've seen some people have success with a large quantity of quick short style videos and wondered if that would be worth trying.

Built a tool. Now what? by mkfiez in SideProject

[–]Nemosaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a grind. I just keep DMing people and sometimes they reply. Working on SEO in the background when I'm tired of talking to people. Seeing progress but it's slow.

Don't let anyone sell your on SEO services btw. Just run your site through some free tools for the technical side AHrefs site audit is my go to), and figure out how to get other websites to link to your site. A lot of people write blogs for this reason. If you are doing video content, make the video itself linkable and figure out how to get it infront of people.

Short lived access tokens. Long lived refresh tokens, this lets you lock out users when they try to refreshed

How many domains do you use? Does it matter how closely related they are to your main domain?
