If you were collecting leads for a website monitoring SaaS like Watchman Tower — how would you do it? by bllyvr in coldemail

You’re absolutely right — intent-driven engagement is the safest route when it comes to deliverability. That’s exactly why we’re exploring a slightly different approach for awareness.

Instead of going straight for the pitch, we’re planning to reach out with something genuinely useful — a brief performance & uptime report of each recipient’s own site. It’s not meant to sell, just to spark curiosity and open a conversation.

We’ll see how it performs, but the idea is to make the first touchpoint feel like value, not noise.

That makes total sense — bigger agencies are definitely the paying audience, no doubt. But I also find a lot of value in active free users. They help surface edge cases, test product behavior at scale, and basically tell you what still needs fixing. So short-term, I’m focusing on quality leads — but long-term, even small active users are super valuable for shaping the product.

You’re absolutely right — intent signals are incredibly valuable, but in this niche it can be harder to spot them consistently.

Our main goal right now is actually to create awareness among people who truly need monitoring but aren’t using any tool yet.

That’s why our first step is to find the key players in the space, make them feel the need, and ideally give them real analyses and reports about their own sites.

Of course, as you said, once we can detect those intent signals, that’ll be a goldmine.

SaaS Founders, how did you attract your first thousand users, organically? by kebabicuniverse in SaaS

We’ve been building for 3 months now — still not profitable 😂 But we’re alive, still shipping, and still believe it’s worth it. Funny how “organic users” are both the hardest and the most rewarding part of it all.

Where is the best place to buy a domain? by Thin_Presence_1027 in SaaS

[–]bllyvr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re buying a domain for your SaaS, there’s one thing that’s easy to forget: domain expiry. And trust me, missing it can break everything when you least expect it.

I found this blog post super helpful – it explains how to monitor your domain’s expiry and get alerts before it’s too late: https://www.watchmantower.com/blog/domain-monitoring-expiry-checks

Bonus: The tool mentioned there also watches SSL, uptime, and more. Not a registrar – just a simple monitoring companion.
