Ads
When you run ads for your SaaS, make sure you are empathetic with your customer. Target them when they would want to see the ad. Not when they would not want to. For example, building a procurement B2B SaaS? Target them when they are looking for procurement or talking to vendors. Add that context and it will do wonders!
Cold Email
Cold emails are counter-intuitive. The more you are non-salesy, the higher your sales get. It's an art to provide value in little words, yet help the prospect do business with you. Pulling a market based on your cold emails is an art that will grow your SaaS with haps of prospects.
Content Marketing
A content calendar is very tactical, it documents the specifics of how you will execute the content strategy you’ve developed. Content Plan includes details such as the key topic areas you will cover, what content you will create, when and how to share your content, and specific calls to action you will include. Building a content calendar will give you a good head start!
Community
Having an engaged community for your SaaS can bring you so much ROI! However, it's difficult as a solo-founder to build a community along with everything else! However, it is possible to bootstrap a community in a niche and create tons of value for your users. Something to think through this weekend?
Copywriting
Are you building traffic on your SaaS landing page but lacking conversions? It's mainly because your SaaS landing page lacks clarity on what users should know about your product. You also might need to look at why they want to know, and what they want to know. Continue to talk to your users and understand their goals, and tweak your copy accordingly!
What you think visitors should know and what they want to know are two wildly different things, and that’s why SaaS copywriting matters.

Email Marketing
With everything that your SaaS does, keep building your email list. That's an audience you own and can solve a lot of your problems with respect to staying in intimate touch with your customers.
All you need to build an online business is:
1. Something to sell:
- Your own product
- An affiliate product
- Provide a service2. People to sell to
Twitter is a great source for #2
But an email list is the Holy Grail 🏆

Growth Marketing
There are so many opportunities for your marketing and product to shake hands. Find unique creative ways to help your users with marketing while they use their product? Having user-generated content on one of your key aha moments is one good example.
Sales
Sales need to be ultra-specific too. Imagine your sales outreach with a SaaS tool that is for all agencies vs a SaaS tool that helps agencies doing $100k ARR to grow to $250k ARR. What will have a bigger impact?
SEO
SEO can be overwhelming but you got to start! There is a ton of information and lots of value to provide, plus tons of resources to choose from. To start, just figure out a blog publishing schedule, and post your first blog post. Then learn from there.
Over the past years, I've bookmarked dozens of SEO threads, blog posts and courses.
Below are 11 sources to learn SEO and start ranking your website on Google without prior knowledge.

Social Media Marketing
Looking to grow your Twitter account with your SaaS? This is something I am working on too. It's a great way to build a personal brand and get those early customers in.
Twitter content routine to reach 1k+? (as solo founder)
1. Tweet 4-5 times a day
2. Comment 20 times a day
3. Write working tweets in different words
4. Give yourself feedback on failed tweets
5. Tell stories about results you got in real life
6. DONT BE BORING
