So there is a betalist. Is there anything else?
They didn’t ban me on Google. Just looking for a cheap (expensive will also work) and battle tested magic bullet.

Marketing would depend on your product vertical. SaaS is just a distribution model. What does your product do?

I had seen etlworks before in this forum and was very impressed! Didn’t recollect it was by you.
Let me quickly dump the ways in which I’ve found users. I hope there is something new for you here:
-
Medium. My product is in the designer/front-end developer niche (https://protoship.io), and Medium is a watering hole for a lot of such folks. Starting from scratch is hard, so we posted to an existing publication with 10k readers in this niche. (here’s one post link).
-
Subreddits. For me these have been reddit/r/webdev and reddit/r/sketch.
-
There are a lot of Slack channels for various niches, but I’ve never felt comfortable hawking there.
-
Watching Twitter for mention about related/competing products and reaching out to them. There is a tool called http://www.socedo.com/ which emulates human-like behaviour on Twitter. It is described in detail here - https://blog.appswithoutcode.com/2016/06/10/hacking-social-media/. This is an aggressive tactic and I don’t have firsthand experience.
-
Getting featured in Newsletters related to your niche. This has worked really well for me. I don’t know any newsletters that directly map to your niche, the closest I can think of is http://softwareleadweekly.com/
Thanks a lot!
Bookmarked socedo and softwareleadweekly.
And then there’s this old thread:
Awesome. Let’s get this thing promoted! It deserves it.
Side question. How important is sign up page?
So far we got all our customers “by invitation”, mostly utilizing leads from toolsverse.com.
