I'm sharing some insights from analyzing 211 SaaS founder's interviews, some mistakes to avoid, and what acquisition channels worked best for them.1.Product huntKey takeaways:You can ship features and major releases as many times as they are deployed. Product releases tend to attract more attention and bring more registrations.Tuesdays and Wednesdays are tough days. If you're not 100% sure, go for Monday.The biggest growth happens when you are getting hunted.Get enough feedback and initial growth to establish product-market-fit before you launch on Product Hunt2.Cold emailsKey takeaways:Use tools like Mailtrack to track opened emails, Snov.io to find email addresses, and Gmail as an email providerCome up with 3 different types of reach-out emails. then A/B test each response in a google spreadsheet. Then go back after every 200 or so reach outs to see which email had the most successful response rate. Once you pick the winner keep that email, then create two new ones in the direction of the winning email and then test the 3 again. Sort of like a "keep breeding the winning horse" type scenario.Try many different styles of emails with various pitches and value propositions.3.Google Ads(after you get initial money flowing)Key takeaways:Bid for longer tail, shoot for lower positions, bid on competitor's brandYou can Validate your product and run paid tests on GoogleStart with a moderate budget and keep a close eye on the ads’ performance.Most common mistakes I've found among the interviews#1 Bad marketingYour posts should not sound very “techy” and not at all simple. Don't use technical terms and concepts that everyday internet don't understand.#2 Not genuine.Don’t try to sound smart, markety, techy or selling. At this point you should sound as genuine and simple as possible. Be nice, respond polite and act humble.#3 Giving everything awayEverybody says to write this big comment where you explain the idea, benefits, the story and what’s next but if you do so, you leave no room for comments.#4 Problem-solving.Specify the problem you are solving. Let your users identify with the core problem and give them the solution#5 Timing is everythingYou should make sure that you launch as early as possible to get enough votes to make it to the front page. see hubwealthy.com/wealthy
