I Launched My SaaS Everywhere Here’s What Happened

I launch my SaaS everywhere. I mean everywhere. ProductHunt, Fasher, Tiny Startup, Tiny Launch, Unneed, Fasher, you name it. I got some ad votes, some traffic, a few leads, but here is the truth that nobody tells you about launching your product. Getting to the top of the list doesn't mean that people actually want your product. Stick around and I will show you all the platforms where you can launch your SaaS and how you make it to the top of the list. I want to show you how to get to the top of the list. For that, the first thing that you need to do is create good details, descriptions and good assets. So, create good images or screenshot from your app and also create a good demo video or a good video that explains your product. This one also will be very handy if you want to use it on your landing because that is how you convert potential users to real customers when they can see how they can use your app. So please, just spend time of this. It's just one time that you have to do it but it's really worth it if you make it well. Other thing that you can do is just asking to everybody everywhere for ad votes. This is just very tricky for me or is why I think because you ask free people to get ad votes but they are just your friends, followers on x or other social media, they are not your potential or real customers but this can spike a little bit your product and this can get you to the top position. So that means that potential customers will see you because if you are on the bottom of the list, nobody's going to check like most of the time for 40, 50 products. But if you are on the top of the list, you have more chances for other people that are quick curious and they go into this platform to check it out and find your product because it's just right in front of their eyes, right? You need to iterate fast. Many people or many potential users are coming to platforms like Product Hunt and they check in products and straight away they have questions about this product so they make a comment. So if you are there, you can reply to these comments and give them an answer about these questions they have about your product so this can quickly convert. If they have a question about this discovery, for example, Spanish language and you say yes, these potential customers straight away, they can convert. So if you ignore all these comments or all these questions that people us probably these potential users just vanish. So get a good admin feature in your SaaS so you can track every day how many new users you have, how many subscriptions, how they interact with your product so this gives you real feedback. Pick up platforms where your potential audience can be. Like for example for me, for my scuba apps, I just launched so on on product hunt but I know like this is not where my potential users can be maybe yes but it's very unlikely because it's more focused on tech indie hackers or this kind of general apps more than specific niche apps so for my niche apps I just use like a better TikTok or Instagram. So just always focus your energy wherever you think that you can find potential users. Focus on real feedback. Sometimes you get at both and you feel like your product is amazing because all your friends are at both in your product. But you need to get this real feedback. So what I was talking about iterating with users. So as soon as you get all this iteration with the users, you Just ask the user what they need, what they think, and just don't take it personally and don't feel like your product is the best. So if you take this early feedback, you can quickly fix some bugs or improve some features, and this will attract some new users. ProductHunt. Everybody knows ProductHunt. It's the first platform that I launched at CEO SaaS. ProductHunt is actually very hard and very tricky because it's well known but also it's very hard to climb to top positions because many people sponsor their SaaS and they say like unless you have a very good thing like you're gonna you're not gonna make it to the top position i actually have no idea about that i just can say under my experience like my top position was with seo sas that was on the 19 position so yeah for me it was very hard even i asked everybody to go at both i couldn't managed to go on the top, but still I got a lot of traffic on my SaaS, I got a lot of questions on the comments and many people interested and I got like a hundred new users sign up, obviously not all of them were paid users, but still it was good, even I couldn't reach one of the top positions, I was very happy about the results that I got on ProductHunt. Peer list. Peer list is actually not one day launching, it's one week launching. And I have to say I didn't focus as much as I did in other platforms, but I just shared a couple of times around the week on eggs and I feel that it was like just shouting into the void to be honest and I don't know what positions I entered, I think about as well like 19 because it was not like a lot of sass launching there comparing with the product hunt but I didn't feel like the traffic or anything was changing much. I really like Anit and not because I am on the top position so I reached my first number one on this launching platforms. I like the platform itself and also Thomas the owner was very very nice with me and very helpful so I cannot recommend more this platform. It's just nice because you can edit everything on the way before launching and schedule your launch like on other platforms. And also I got some traffic as well from Unneeds and I think a couple of leads so actually it was great as I say. And that's why it's my top one launching platform. Tiny Launch I ended up on the second position which is not bad. and if you end in one of the top 3 positions you get a backlink from there, you actually need to claim it because I didn't know that and I checked and I didn't see my backlink. And when I post all this experience with all these launching platforms on ONIX, just Chris the owner contacted me and I claimed my backlink and we fixed it very quickly and very fast. but somehow I missed that email or that message. So if you don't claim it, you don't get it. Tiny lunch was overall good, but I didn't see any difference, or I didn't see much traffic or much leads on my sales. So even I reached one of the top positions, like nothing changed much actually. face share I ended up on the number one weekly and the number three monthly so it was actually great actually people really like my sass there and I got a lot of good reviews I got a lot of questions and people really interact with my sass so that was very good because I could use all of these reviews as a proof on my landing page, especially at the beginning when I didn't have many users. So that was great. But I didn't like the platform much because as soon as you upload your product, you cannot edit it after that. So in case you want to change something that is impossible, you can send an email and they will do it for you which is great and I appreciate that but I would like to have this feature because it just makes things easier for the users I think. I also got some traffic as well from that and a few leads so yeah I was happy about Faceshare. The last one, tiny startups, I didn't like at all even I ended up in the first positions I kind of remember which position it was but I think it was I don't know maybe the top three but maybe the four or five or something like that but I didn't like it much because the platform today was like the UI from hell I just posted on x and the owner got very pissed off because he said that was a very bad way to give feedback and I know but on x you need to be like sure and yeah I say like that because it was like this actually you don't know if you are logging log out and there were a lot of comments about that so there were a lot of replies on my post on this like saying like I was right because yeah it is like this if you want to unload a product like yeah you never know if you are logging logouts and it's an app you cannot edit anything you cannot go to your product and check it out as soon as you set the launch launching is all and it was for me terrible, seriously, I won't launch there again and I didn't see much difference on the traffic when I launched there either. So when I launched CEO SaaS because it was a SEO and AI search platform and I think that it was a good fit for all these kind of platforms, I decided that I was launching everywhere and I scheduled my lunch, I didn't want to do it on the same day because I want to see if I got a spike on the traffic or if I got some users and I want to know how all these platforms work. So I could give you some feedback and I could know how all this works for future lunches. That's why I scheduled like this and also because I want to ask for support on X. At that point I didn't have like so many followers. I think I was about 3,000, 2 or 3,000 and still. I was sending like at least like one or two posts like asking for ad votes. So people were outvoting, were supporting and I was sending some DMs as well to some other followers, or some other friends, like please support me, I know that they will support. And also, because some people as well asked me for outvotes on LinkedIn, I was doing the same. Like, don't worry, just send us emails, send us messages, because in the worst scenario they won't reply or the one at both. Just don't send too many. I was sending maybe like 5 DMs every hour or something like that. Otherwise, maybe you will get punished or banished or next. That's why I did it like that. But I mostly shared in public. Also, I was sharing a lot of posts with my photos or with photos with photos of Siosas and videos and also I was at that point I was living on the boat so it was very beautiful place to get photos with the Siosas and a coffee and the ocean behind so it was great and very aesthetic so I know and also helps and after more or less like two weeks launching everywhere I seriously I was exhausted because I have to plan all the content and also I was working 12 hours on the boat with with no days off and I feel that it was a lot of work for the traffic that I got or for the users that I got I'm glad that I launched in all these platforms because I learned a a lot about launching, about SaaS, about users, about feedback, about everything. So I don't regret it. And also at some point I didn't care much about being on the top of the list. I just stopped chasing all these vanity metrics. And what I really, really, really care about is like building a product, like people really want to come back again and again. And this This is what actually matters. I have to say like I didn't pay anything for launching my SaaS in all these platforms. I just wait few weeks in some cases because if you pay you can skip the line but I didn't care. I have no budget for launching. I hope you like this video and now you have an idea where you can launch your SaaS and also how to get to the top list.

I launched my SaaS everywhere.
Product Hunt, Peerlist, Uneed, TinyLaunch, Fazier, TinyStartups… all of them.

I got upvotes, traffic spikes, and a few leads.

What you’ll learn:

– Where to launch your SaaS to get discovered
