I built a SaaS product over the past 4 months. The development part went well but now I m struggling with what comes next. I ve been trying to market it on my own, but honestly, I m failing:
-SEO isn t working
-Backlinks are not coming
-I m not reaching the right audience
-No clear guidance or structured approach to follow
It feels like there s a missing playbook after building a product. If anyone has gone through this stage or has a proven framework for acquiring users, doing marketing, or growing a SaaS from zero I d really appreciate your guidance.
One of the harder parts of building Hirevate hasn't been the code it's been getting real, unfiltered feedback out of early users. Most people say "looks good!" and then quietly never come back.
Specifically I'm trying to figure out the actual thing which is to get customer on my saas products with in first month
For people who've actually cracked this do you ask directly, watch behavior instead of asking, offer something in exchange for a real conversation? What worked versus what sounded good but got you nothing useful?
