Day 4 of sharing SaaS growth secrets: Building in public isn’t just hype-it’s a distribution cheat code: - Post regular progress, wins, and fails - Answer questions openly - Show how you solve problems in real time - Celebrate tiny milestones, not just big ones - Connect with

I used to pray for times like this 🥹

Turns out, it’s not that simple: Everyone says if you build it, they will come, but: "Build it and they will come" is a myth. 2019: Two AI startups launch. Startup A spends on ads, hoping for organic growth. Startup B integrates referrals in day one. Result? B grows 3x faster

Growth loops are the new cheat code. > Viral invites > User-generated content > Network effects These create sustainable, compounding growth. Funnels are out. Loops are in.

/7 the SaaS graveyard is full of great products nobody heard about. UGC isn’t a nice-to-have. it’s how you get distribution that compounds, and how you stop being invisible. focus there, and you’ll outlast the competition.

/6 don’t sleep on continual iteration. growth isn’t set-and-forget. test new messages, tweak your onboarding, experiment with community prompts. small changes compound fast when you’re paying attention.

/5 chasing every new channel or platform is a trap. focus on where your audience actually hangs out, and double-down on what works. spread yourself too thin, and you’ll get ignored everywhere.

/4 want sustainable growth? bake UGC into your product design: - make sharing results dead simple - reward referrals, not just signups - showcase user wins everywhere make it obvious and frictionless

/3 you can’t buy this kind of trust. communities, testimonials, even simple screenshots-all drive real growth loops. it’s not about paying for attention, but earning it by making customers feel seen and heard.

/2 UGC is your secret weapon. when customers share their stories, reviews, and use-cases, it’s 10x more believable than anything you say yourself. ads are ignored. user voices cut through the noise.

/1 most startups don’t fail because the product sucks. they fail because nobody knows they exist. if you’re not obsessed with distribution, you’re already behind. obscurity kills more SaaS than bad code ever will.

SaaS myth: the best product wins. Reality: even average products can dominate with strong distribution. Day 2 of sharing SaaS growth secrets: How UGC turns customers into your loudest advocates 🧵

Down-to-earth and needed. Good on you for making this happen.

Turns out, marketing can’t wait. Why do most SaaS founders obsess over features-and ignore marketing until it’s too late? Wild to watch every time.

Day 1 of sharing SaaS growth secrets. Forget hype-here’s what actually works: • Figure out one channel where your best customers already hang out. Double down. • Ship features with built-in shareability. • Make onboarding so clean it feels like magic. Repeat until bored.

/7 Next time you’re working on your project, ask yourself: "How does someone stumble across this and instantly get why it exists?" If you can answer that, you’re way ahead of most founders. ☕️

/6 Most SaaS graveyards are full of great products nobody knew existed. Marketing isn’t an afterthought-it’s the main thing. If you’re not talking about your project, who is?

/5 You don’t need a massive launch. You need a tiny group of users who love what you’re building. If 10 people care enough to tell their friends, that’s the start. The rest is just scale.

/4 Here's a trick I wish someone told me sooner: Write one dead-simple post every day about what you’re learning. Not to go viral-to get real humans replying. Early feedback > fake reach.

/3 Wild how often founders chase "growth hacks" before nailing the basics: Who’s your best customer? Where do they hang out? Why do they pay? Skip these and you’ll burn time (and sanity).
