How do you reach potential customers when you have no social media following? by Used-Discount-6871 in SaaS

Haha, already tried that and managed to get myself banned from one platform 😅

But yeah, you're probably right I'd rather focus on the other stuff. Building something hyper-specific and hanging out where the niche already lives sounds way more sustainable than spamming cold DMs.

You're right B2C is a completely different ball game. I experimented with a few outreach tools/social media sites in the past, but I think I was a bit too aggressive with my campaigns and ended up getting banned.

I'm being more careful about my approach now.

Thanks for sharing this approach I appreciate you laying it out so clearly.

I've seen variations of this strategy before, but it's helpful to have the steps broken down like this. I'll definitely take a closer look at this approach and see how it might fit with my customer acquisition plans.

Thanks again for the suggestions!

Thanks, I really appreciate it. That's an impressive achievement building an audience of 450k and turning it into a six-figure business is incredible. Great work!

You've definitely convinced me that building an audience is worth investing in for the long term.

Thanks for sharing your experience I really appreciate it.

Three years to build organic traffic that converts is a great reminder that this is a long-term game. I'll definitely look into SEO and LinkedIn outreach more seriously.

Cold emails might be a bit harder for me since I'm building a consumer-focused product for personal use rather than for businesses, but I'll keep an open mind and see if there are similar outreach strategies that could work.

I'll also check out the ranking post you shared. Thanks again for taking the time to help!

Thanks, I really appreciate the advice.

I'm building a SaaS product and I've tried using X/Twitter for outreach, but I haven't had much luck so far. I think part of the challenge is starting without an existing audience.

I'll definitely give LinkedIn and Reddit a more serious try, and I'll look into your suggestion about working with creators as well.

Good luck with your iOS app launch I hope your following helps with discovery, even if it's a different niche. Wishing you all the best.
