How I market my SaaS boilerplate as a complete beginner

Finding places where I can market my product

I am no marketing guru. All of my marketing knowledge comes from watching Alex Hormozi’s videos.

Volume negates luck

- Alex Hormozi

I am focusing on organic outreach and I am posting about my product everywhere.

However, other than Reddit and Product Hunt, I don’t know where else could I post my product on.

As I was doing my research, I came across this very useful tweet

Places to launch your SaaS

Seeing that, I made a post on each of the website, where I am allowed. Here’s the results

Results

Dev.to - 12 views

Dev.to

Medium - 7 views

Hacker News - I forgot my login, so I can’t show you

Peerlist - doesn’t tell me how many views but I got 6 upvotes, so I will count it as 6 views

Indie Hackers - 0 views

I didn’t want to pay to post, so I only included my Medium article there

Product Hunt alternatives

Tiny Launch - 0 views

Uneed - 0 views

Dev Hunt - 0 views

Tiny Launch, Uneed and Dev Hunt are Product Hunt alternatives. However, I can only schedule the launch, on average, 3 months from the date I posted my product on their website.

I could pay a fee to schedule the launch right away, but I didn’t want to spend money and not having any guarantees on how well it will go.

Product Hunt

I didn’t include Product Hunt because I have previously launched it on PH 2 months ago. I’ve made some changes since but I have to wait for 6 months to relaunch it.

Summary

In total, I’ve got 25 views, spent $0 and about an hour to make a post across platforms.

I also posted my Django + HTMX SaaS Boilerplate on 7 subreddits. Find out what I learned.
