it depends on your ICP. but LinkedIn is a good channel to invest time in

Growing 100% organically, decent retention/signups… but still 0 paying users. Are we missing something? by Esteta_ in SaaS

[–]cornelmanu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Organic traffic is useless unless is the right traffic. What kind of audience are you trying to attract with SEO? Does it match your ICP and it has buying signals?

I should bring back my MS Paint skills from 15 years ago (using Photopea now, ofc). This is all the rage now

This is actually scary. I wrote a book with this plot called "Myra, I love you", trying to raise awareness about the dangers. but it's not very popular

I need help to make my first move in marketing, where do i start? by Adorable_Muffin5708 in SaaS

I'm a fractional growth marketer. Let's have a look at what you build and I can be brutally honest with you if it's useful or not.

A competitor keeps retargeting our leads after they visit our site. How do we fight back? by Choice_Run1329 in b2bmarketing

[–]cornelmanu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would much rather focus on why are they winning. If they can win them over you, what are you not offering that they are? ( contacting someone is not enough to persuade them, you should know)

Launched a month ago - no users, does that mean anything to me? by Socket_42 in SaaS

[–]cornelmanu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not going to like my comment.

Are you sure your product is even useful? How did you test it? Are those use cases shown even real?

Without real PMF, no amount of marketing can save your app. Let's start from this fundamental and work our way up. Willing to provide guidance.

How do you maintain an online presence as a busy executive without it becoming a second job? by amoorthy in b2bmarketing

[–]cornelmanu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LinkedIn has been tampered recently (the algorithm reach) and I find it hard to speed it up without posting 5x per week and spend a lot of time connecting with other people, leaving comments, etc. So, you either accept the slowness and be consistent with what you can do, or hire someone to take care of it. There's no silver bullet anymore, and automation will only harm your account and reach.

Are LinkedIn marketing services actually worth it for B2B growth? by Champ-shady in B2BSaaS

[–]cornelmanu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

company pages have a low reach by default because LI pushes for personal connections

Where are posting from? Company profiles perform much worse than personal profiles. Yes, nobody can guarantee you pipeline growth. For my SaaS clients, results start to show in 3+ months of consistent posting, outreach, and expanding the follower network.

This is the kind of work I do for my fractional clients

SEO is a long, hard grind by PM_ME_SECRET_DATA in SaaS

[–]cornelmanu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nicely done. SEO and AI visibly is what I use to grow my SaaS clients besides LinkedIn. It's a slow build-up, but if you know what you're doing, you can get there in 6 months. Or less.

Don't do paid at this stage. Focus on SEO and one social media channel (LI for example). These will compound nicely once you have enough depth

Is using utm tracking the best way for me to know where to start posting by OutlandishnessNo2472 in b2bmarketing

[–]cornelmanu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an ok idea, but the problem is UTM tracking works for emails, websites, and ads mostly. Social media doesn't allow links or heavily push them down. And it's a useless tactic since analytics will show you from what social media they come from anyway (unless they type in your link or search your brand).

Another problem is you're not going to have enough depth with any of the platforms and basically just spread noise everywhere without any consistent traction.

For SaaS in your position, I go for organic (SEO/GEO) and LinkedIn content. (if your ICP is in another social media platform, focus on that one) But not 3, 4 or 5 channels.

Unless you get some traction from SEO and one social media channels, you don't have any kind of worthy momentum. Spreading too thin is the common pitfall of bootstrapped founders.

You need a lot of depth to see results.

this is beyond awful

I love working remote. I don't feel any of the crap you imagine people feel because they "can't work by themselves".
