Within 24 hours of launching my new SaaS, I got 649 unique visitors, 1874 page views, and over 100+ signed-up users.
This was all organic while launching on X,
This is my first time having the launch of my SaaS go viral, resulting in a ton of initial traction.
I have come up with a viral formula of 6 elements on how to do this, so read on:
You can have the best launch and marketing strategy in the world, but with a bad product, it won't matter.
In order to attract users, you must have an exciting product that solves some kind of problem or pain for the customer.
To give you something concrete, this was my thought process for this latest SaaS:
Problem
:
Founders don't want to spend time creating video content about their SAAS or showing their software milestones/updates through videos as it is time consuming. Many choose to avoid it as there are certain design skills needed & most importantly time consuming.
Solution
:
Create a video templates with animated background & confetti effects where users can just replace it with their content & post it on their socials like X, FB, Linkedin, Reddit. Cool animated backgrounds, confetti effects to get 10x more engagement on their socials within hours not days through videos & GIFS.
I bought the domain Socialstats.co and validated the idea through a simple waitlist landing page explaining the core features.
But wait, we have no followers and no budget for paid advertisement.
No worries, we will solve this with a viral launch post on X/Twitter.
The make or break of this post is the 'hook'. The very first line in our post that will make the user stop scrolling and get invested in our content.
Here are the hook of the launch that went viral:
Attached to our post should be an image or a video. The algorithm chooses what goes viral based on the posts that users spend the most time on, hence why a video is the better option.
For my viral content, I have used rolling text template from my own web app the core features of the product with animated backgrounds & confetti effects.
Something that works really well for viral content and marketing is to explain the concept in easy-to-understand one-liners.
It makes the product so easy to understand for a person that interacts with the product for the first time.
We can now elaborate a bit further with a few bullet points explaining the core features our new exciting product has.
The user is fully committed now, so it's time to capitalize on the attention and lead them over to our landing page with a call to action (CTA).
