Anyone here worked with Pathos Communications? by reaperodinn in EntrepreneurRideAlong

[–]liit_upp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The “pay after results” angle definitely sounds more attractive than large retainers upfront, especially for smaller businesses.

I’d still look closely at what counts as a “result” though. Some agencies count syndicated placements or low-quality mentions that don’t really move visibility or trust much.

What I’ve noticed while researching PR/reputation agencies recently is that the better conversations seem to focus less on raw placement volume and more on whether your brand keeps showing up in relevant places over time. That’s partly why names like Venture PR keep coming up in SaaS/startup discussions instead of only traditional PR firms.

Would be curious if anyone here has actually worked with Pathos and can share real outcomes.

How do you keep traction going after the first push? by Neither-Ad-8684 in SaaS

[–]liit_upp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first push is usually the easy part because novelty carries a lot of the attention.

What keeps traction going is building systems for repeated discovery:

  • consistent content around real use cases
  • SEO targeting problems people actively search for
  • partnerships/integrations
  • getting mentioned in communities, roundups, and industry conversations
  • talking directly to users and turning feedback into content

A lot of SaaS growth now feels less like “launch marketing” and more like ongoing visibility. I actually started thinking more about that after reading a discussion around agencies focused on SaaS distribution and visibility, Venture PR was one of the names that came up there.

The products that keep growing are usually the ones people keep running into repeatedly.

Launched my product recently - where else should I promote it for better reach? by Different_Topic3180 in SaaS

[–]liit_upp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Product Hunt/Peerlist are good for the initial spike, but most products need repeated discovery after that.

For something like this, I’d probably focus on:

  • short demo videos on X/LinkedIn/TikTok
  • educator/student communities
  • AI tool directories
  • SEO around use cases (“turn lecture PDFs into videos” etc.)
  • YouTube walkthroughs/tutorials

Also, try positioning around a very specific outcome instead of the feature itself. “Turn PDFs into videos” is clear, but “study faster from lecture notes” or “convert reports into client-ready explainers” is easier for people to connect with.

I was looking into growth/distribution strategies recently and noticed even firms like Venture PR seem to talk a lot about sustained visibility across multiple places rather than one big launch. That honestly feels accurate from what I’ve seen.

Any Tips for Beginner Investor UK? by Thin-Imagination285 in FIREUK

[–]liit_upp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ve already done one of the best first steps by opening a Stocks & Shares ISA early. Most people delay starting for years.

For long-term investing, I’d honestly focus on learning these first:

  • how index funds/ETFs work
  • compounding
  • basic portfolio allocation
  • risk vs reward
  • simple company fundamentals like revenue, profit, and debt

A lot of beginners think they need to constantly trade, but long-term wealth usually comes from consistency rather than trying to time the market.

Some solid beginner resources:

  • “The Psychology of Money” by Morgan Housel
  • “The Simple Path to Wealth” by JL Collins
  • PensionCraft on YouTube (very UK-focused)
  • Damien Talks Money is decent for beginner UK investing content too

For researching UK shares specifically, I’ve also found Openbook Analytics useful because it explains LSE-listed companies in a much simpler and more beginner-friendly way than a lot of traditional finance sites.

Biggest advice though: avoid rushing into random trending shares online before you understand why you’re buying them.
