It really depends on your product and how steep the learning curve is. If your product is super easy to understand and use, you do not need detailed guides and tutorials. Also not all users need or want you to hand hold them. I’ll give you a great example.
I’ve been using Canva for a long time now , paying monthly. Not once was I approached by their customer success team and not once did I wish I was. Never had to contact their support, never thought of cancelling my subscription. Even though I don’t use it that often. That’s a perfect example of great software, offering great value with minimal onboarding and support. So effective onboarding always starts with your product!

To effectively onboard new users for your SaaS product, I create a seamless and guided experience by offering clear tutorials, interactive walkthroughs, and mytaxdailypersonalized support. Emphasizing key features and providing quick wins helps users see immediate value, leading to higher engagement and retention.
What worked for me was incorporating interactive walkthroughs. We integrated a guided tour that adjusts to the user’s pace. It’s like having a personal coach right there with them, making the whole experience feel a lot more personalized and less intimidating.
product led approach, with free trail or freemium method.
I think Sending individualized onboarding emails has made a significant difference in my business. I make certain that the emails are personalized to their individual use case, so they feel like we are addressing their specific need. It has helped us form a stronger relationship from the start.

Live onboarding sessions have been great for us. Users love the personal interaction, and recorded sessions help them later.
A simple product tour at sighn up up and personalized follow up emails work best for us. it keeps onboarding easy and relevant.
I've reached expected engagement providing various tutorials for newcomers when product was in the initial step.
I've discovered that breaking down the onboarding process into bite-sized tutorials is quite beneficial. Instead than bombarding users with everything at once, I walk them through one major feature at a time. It's like holding their hand without being overly pushy.
