Almost at 1K subscribers! 😊

I made TagU and wakeUpCta free to grow my email list.

I send weekly emails, announcements, product updates, and resources.

People think emails are dead, but they’re not.

Not yet.

Does it sometimes occur to you that you have a sudden surge of traffic but no idea where it comes from?

@nico_jeannen what do you use to record those cool previews?

[Mehdi.K @mehdi_khoudali]

We made it free

We swiftly developed WakeUpCta and offered it as a free tool.

This leverages the market's feedback loop.

Users will request features for WakeUpCta, using the integrated feedback board, and they'll notice it's built with Feedbackloop.

"Powered by" marketing

[Mehdi.K @mehdi_khoudali]

Want more users?

I gained around 400 users by following these steps:

- Use launch platforms
- Build an audience
- Create a waitlist
- Offer free tools

If you're a developer like me, offering free tools is the most effective 😊

Fun challenge:

What’s your MRR and how long have you been working on your SaaS?

Let me start: 3 months

[Mehdi.K @mehdi_khoudali]

“Grow first, monetize later”

Starting a software company ?

You'll have limited resources.

Unlike VC-backed giants like Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, you need to focus on sustainable growth from day one.

Why ?

Because they have deep pockets. You don’t

[Ewen @MyMapEwen]

At FeedbackLoop, we are thinking of adding referrals to improve traffic and scale up MRR.

What has been your experience with referral strategy?

Free Plan = Waste of Money

Let me explain.

If you don't benefit from a free plan through:

- User referrals
- "Powered by" marketing
- Virality effects

You should probably ditch your free plan.

Most free plan users will never upgrade.

@nico_jeannen @acquiredotcom Super interesting Nico, and congrats! Which startup directories were successful for you?

[Mehdi.K @mehdi_khoudali]

Be honest :

How do you know which feature you NEED to build ?

- You include users ?
- You build it blindly ?

Again, be honest

[Mehdi.K @mehdi_khoudali]

When I ship a feature, I follow this process:

- Announce it to the early adopters group
- Announce it on my public roadmap
- Send an email about it

I also include a link to the public roadmap in the email, so users can easily request other features.

Preparing social accounts for Feedbackloop 😎

Product led growth is the dream.

We want to make it the first traffic source for Feedbackloop.

It's free and great for SEO.
