Building an Ecommerce SaaS in Public: Seeking Motivation and Early Traction Tips
Considering building my ecommerce SaaS product in public. Seeking advice and experiences from those who've done the same. Is sharing progress, challenges, and milestones during the development of an MVP a good strategy to stay motivated and potentially attract early customers or collaborators? Would love to hear your thoughts and any recommended articles/videos on successful 'building in public' strategies. Just tweet/post whatever you are doing. You'll be more authentic than 99% on social media and people will start tagging along for the journey. Also create an open page like this: https://simpleanalytics.com/open Thank you for the insightful advice! It makes a lot of sense to share the journey authentically on social media. The idea of an open page, similar to what Simple Analytics has done, seems like a fantastic way to document progress and foster a community. I'll definitely explore this approach further. If anyone else has experiences or resources to share about building in public, I'd love to hear more! Depends on who your target audience is. This only works if your target audience are the same people as you, that are also interested in building a business.
