Joe Howard of Driftly App joins us on today's episode. He'll talk about how he's hacking through marketing to get through the first year of a new SaaS.
“Everybody wants a million customers, right? I'm sure, like, I'd love a million customers, but, but the reality is, when you start, like, how are you gonna get your first 10 customers, it's gonna take a little bit of like, work. And that's just like the reality of it, the end. And the easy way to get your first 10 is to just like personally do is reach out.” Joe Howard
You won't be able to acquire hundreds or even thousands of customers in just a snap. It will take a lot of time, effort, and the right marketing methods to reach out to potential customers.

“I have my developers who helped push on features. But the thing like, like onboarding, requires some dev work, but like, I'm able to build it. That's sort of like a luxury that I have that a lot of teams don't have, you know, because like a lot of teams need to be pushing on the bigger features. But they don't want to spend their developers' hours on these like onboarding tweaks or this or that. Yeah, so I could work on these like tiny technical marketing stuff.”

“The things I'm focused on much more this time is that like, really, really high quality of content, all-encompassing, but also, like, concise, you know, not long for length sake, but just like as comprehensive as possible, but getting directly as possible too.”

“If you're not going to create a message, then you're not going to share it with someone and then you're not going to get the value of having your first async conversation.”
