Growing a SaaS is hard.

it's not hard because of the tech.

it's hard because there's no formula for marketing.

marketing is literally everything tech isn't

- delayed gratification
- changing variables
- undpredictable results

So . . to every founder grinding today

Keep pushing ❤️

$440,000 for a government report that's riddled with hallucinated quotes?

I'd want my money back too . . .

AI-written reports are OK. But AI "research" without human oversight is diabolical.

Deloitte is forced to pay back $290,000

I'm big on AI, but let's put humans in the loop 🙏

😅 yeah, unfortunately it's going to have to be a "manual" process.

Olu @oluadedeji.bsky.social · 1d

absolutely right . . . also every journey is unique.

What worked for one founder (thanks to a big network) will not necessarily work for the other.

Olu @oluadedeji.bsky.social · 1d

Thanks for sharing Mira.

So the clicks didn't come from the folks responding to your viral posts?

But from the previous post with a link to your website?

Olu @oluadedeji.bsky.social · 1d

just when I was close to giving up on this platform . .

you show us exactly how marketing should be done 🔥

Olu @oluadedeji.bsky.social · 3d

4th time founders are just course creators 😅

Sharing how to do it 👉 "theoretically"

Olu @oluadedeji.bsky.social · 3d

I feel like that sometimes. Especially with the number of hours wasted here.

Olu @oluadedeji.bsky.social · 3d

1st time founders build first and market last

2nd time founders market first and build last

3rd time founders pre-sell first and build last

Happy Wednesday 👋

Olu @oluadedeji.bsky.social · 4d

My plan this week:

- Finish editing 4 overdue blogs
- Publish 2 of them tomorrow
- Test Latest Gemini 2.5 Flash

Happy Monday 👋

😅 I keep telling myself that I need to reduce the number of goals. . .

Day 7
Drive last-minute registrations with strong urgency, clarify any final doubts.

PS. writing a blog to help other founders

Olu @oluadedeji.bsky.social · 5d

Day 5
Provide immediate value. Share a quick template, or a useful tip or address a common misconception related to the problem you're solving.

Day 6
Build connection and trust by sharing a personal challenge related to the problem you're solving.

Olu @oluadedeji.bsky.social · 5d

Day 3
Show others are excited, create FOMO and validation.

Day 4
Explain why solving this specific problem, at this time is crucial for your ICP.

Olu @oluadedeji.bsky.social · 5d

Day 1
Establish credibility and set the stage for why your launch matters. What problem are you solving?

Day 2
Highlight a specific, tangible outcome your ICP will gain. Connect it to their pain.

I helped 17 founders launch their SaaS on Product Hunt in 2021

We used this content playbook for each launch

Content Playbook 👇
day 1 - overall vision
day 2 - benefit deep dive
day 3 - social proof
day 4 - why now?
day 5 - insight teaser
day 6 - personal story
day 7 - final call

hahaha!
Doctor: “Do you smoke?”

Me: “Only when I’m doing marketing.”

Doctor: “Your lungs are in perfect condition.”

Me: "just as well. I couldn't afford a transplant with 0$ MRR"

love how you've been able to keep the feedback from the data completely objective. . . . if it doesn't work you simply take the data and learn more

Olu @oluadedeji.bsky.social · 5d

I think it's scrolling through social media that creates the distractions. . . the FOMO is real

Olu @oluadedeji.bsky.social · 5d

sounds like a business idea 😅

Olu @oluadedeji.bsky.social · 5d

I think reddit is still a valid marketing channel for early-stage startups trying to figure out their ideal customers.

Olu @oluadedeji.bsky.social · 7d

what's the plan for the quinces! That's a lot?

Jellies, Jam or something else?

Olu @oluadedeji.bsky.social · 7d

Billions vanished in weeks

Bots killed 77% of Reddit's AI visibility

Distribution is no longer for human eyes

ChatGPT’s citation of Reddit content dropped from 9.7% to 2%.

Is our content strategy a text file update away from total collapse?

The biggest shift in Startup this year isn't how easy it is to build a SaaS with AI.

It's the fact that building distribution has actually never been harder

- social media reach is down
- SEO/GEO is a battlefield
- newsletters are tough

Just my observation 😥
