3ways leverage the market to boost your sales:
Affiliate Current Customers: Offer your current customers a 50% discount on their next month's subscription if they refer a new user using a provided code. The new user also gets a 10-20% discount.
Affiliate with Influencers: Identify your target market and find out who they follow. Approach those influencers and grant them full access to your software, ensuring it's valuable to them. Ask them to post about it once or twice a month with an affiliate link, allowing them to earn a 10% commission for each signup.
Affiliate Landing Page: Enable people to easily copy an affiliate link from the landing page to share with their friends or interested parties. Some may use it for their own 10% discount, but you can counteract this by slightly increasing your prices by 10%. This way, they'll feel they've made a savvy move while paying what you intended.
I had a friend with software targeting users on Instagram and TikTok. So, I approached him:
'Hey, would you like to kickstart social media marketing? I know an 18-year-old with spare time who can promote your software using his Instagram account. He'll create posts about it and include an affiliate link in each one.'
Result: 57 new signups through that link in the first month (the account have 6000 followers). and they have a goal to reach 200 signups next month since the following is growing too fast

Affiliate marketing worked well for my last Product Hunt launch; just pick the right partners and set clear ROI metrics.

Any suggestions on where to find people who want to promote SaaS services?
@paul_richardson
hello Paul, I am not sure what your product do but I'll try to help you
let's say I have a product that helps drop shippers in the world get to good suppliers and whatever dropped shippers do
if I wanted to promote this product i have to hangout with my target audience most of your target audience are people who want to escape the matrix or something like this so they are on Instagram or tiktok scrolling
after identifying where they are you just go to someone who they follow if you find that person will find value in your SAAS product offer it for him lifetime free and ask him to post about your product once or twice a month with an affiliate link
let's say you didn't find any influencer
you go and create this influencer,
let's go back to the drop shipping example we just get 17 years old kid from upwork wants to make money and show him exactly what to post on Instagram he will post consistently and you pay him like $200 a month I think that's a win deal and they get commission on every sale
some people would be done to do it just for commission
@ahmed_yassin2 Our service allows companies to add personalised text onto images (using merge tags) for use in emails, websites, social media DMs, etc. The images are generated upon download so the text can be from static or real-time sources (e.g. product price or remaining stock).
I am trying to find the target audience, ideally it would be CEO/director/owner/founder of marketing agencies. The obvious place to 'hang out' with these people is LinkedIn, but I find that the main 'wall' and the groups are so full of promotional material. I'll try increasing my manual engagement in there 👍 Thanks.
@paul_richardson, for something like this, you may consider personalized ads and a bit of cold outreach.
If you run Google and YouTube ads, along with personal branding outreach, you can generate traffic to your website and potentially have a good number of monthly visitors. However, keep in mind:
-Ads need to be of very high quality.
-Your landing page should convert effectively.
-Personal branding and outreach must be consistent for success.
For ads, I suggest starting with YouTube ads instead of Meta (Facebook) or other platforms. You can get a free $250 testing credit, so instead of spending $500, you spend $250. This way, you can allocate $500 for both YouTube and Google ads and consider Meta ads once you have a good conversion rate and traffic on your website.
LinkedIn isn't as effective as Instagram, where users spend more time. TikTok and Instagram have users spending an average of 7 hours a day, making them ideal for B2C. but, since your software is B2B, you may not achieve the same results like i explained
