Building a SaaS product is challenging, but the real struggle begins when you try to get people to use it. Many founders hit a wall with customer acquisition, facing slow organic growth, expensive ads, and the long wait for SEO to kick in. So, what actually works?

The SaaS Traction Challenge

Here’s why getting users is tough:

Paid adsHigh CAC can drain your budget fast.
SEORequires patience—not ideal for early-stage startups.
Cold outreachLow response rates and high ghosting.

What Actually Works for SaaS Growth

1. Niche Community Engagement

Engaging in forums and subreddits where your target audience hangs out can drive high-intent traffic. Unlike broad marketing, niche communities have users actively looking for solutions.

2. Micro-Influencer Partnerships

Smaller influencers often have better engagement rates than big names. Partnering with them can introduce your SaaS to a warm audience.

3. Automated Outreach

Manual outreach is time-consuming. Tools like Beno One streamline engagement by finding and interacting with relevant discussions automatically.
