What is the Easiest Way to Growth a Micro SaaS?

As someone with a micro SaaS, I’m writing this. I’ve tried many areas. I may have discovered the easiest way to grow.

Before I write this, let me share my own statistics. I have around 8,000 members. I’ve earned $3K. And it’s been used over a million times. Lately, I’ve been working on the 2nd version and rebranding it.

I opened social media accounts, added growth features, and tried advertising. But none of them worked. Except for one thing.

Blogging.

Blogging is great for growth and is really easy. So I started blogging a lot. But I haven’t written many blogs for my SaaS. Oh well.

Why Are Others Difficult?

1. Filming videos is difficult because you have to talk.
2. If you want to narrate using artificial intelligence, it’s difficult to synchronize it with the video.
3. You have to put in the effort to edit the video anyway.
4. You also need to know how to edit videos.
5. The programs you use to edit videos need to be powerful enough for your device.
6. Sometimes your mood can affect your voice or face.
7. Even if you create regular social media posts, managing the process can be difficult. I’ve mixed up “which day’s stock content am I adding today?” many times. When I had to add 1 piece of content per day, I sometimes added it twice or three times on the same day.
8. For visual design, like video editing, you’ll need program knowledge and device compatibility.
9. You’ll also need knowledge of those specific social media platforms. Separate knowledge for Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, X, maybe Reddit, and more. I didn’t even add LinkedIn to the list. It means constantly learning. And it never ends. Constantly, constantly, constantly…
10. For advertising, you always need to have money. The moment your money runs out, everything stops. Especially if you’re bootstrapping as a solopreneur, advertising can be a very bad choice.
11. You don’t create content everywhere. Sometimes people stare at you, and it can be uncomfortable. Unless you’re a social person, of course. Personally, I am a social person, but my mood can vary. For example, when I’m deeply focused, I don’t want to be interrupted. But with visuals, videos, etc., interruptions can happen. I find that annoying. That’s why I don’t do visual work in cafes.

So, Why Does Blogging Enable Easy Growth?

1. It has minimal requirements to get started. No need for programming knowledge, device power, or platform information, etc.
2. All you need is the ability to write. Some language skills are helpful, but not essential. ChatGPT can even check for editorial errors.
3. You can work anywhere. It doesn’t attract attention when viewed remotely.

Actually, it’s great if you know SEO, but even if you don’t know anything about it, it can still work on its own. But that’s not the best option.

The worst thing about social media and other options is that you have to keep doing it constantly! They never let you build on what you’ve already done!

To have a presence on Instagram, you need to be constantly active. On the other hand, this is not a requirement for a blog. You write one post, and it generates traffic for years. However, when you create content on Instagram, people only come for a short time. Then they leave. Instagram and other platforms are always instantaneous. A blog, on the other hand, works continuously because it is linked to search engines.

I wrote this article about blogging. You should definitely read it. Because I included the most critical information for this in it. It contains years of experience. 😄
