How to Launch Your SaaS in 30 Days

Launching a SaaS product doesn't have to take months. Here's a focused 30-day plan to go from idea to paying customers.

Week 1: Validate Your Idea

Before writing a single line of code, talk to 10-15 potential customers. Ask them about their workflows, pain points, and what they'd pay for a solution.

The biggest mistake founders make is building something nobody wants.

Week 2: Build the MVP

Your MVP should do one thing really well. Resist the urge to add features. Ship the smallest thing that solves the core problem.

Week 3: Get Beta Users

Reach out to your early interviewees. Offer lifetime discounts for honest feedback. Set up analytics from day one.

Week 4: Launch on Product Hunt

Prepare your assets: screenshots, demo video, and a compelling tagline. Rally your network to upvote in the first 2 hours.

Key Metrics to Track

• Activation rate: How many signups complete the core action
• Day-7 retention: Are users coming back?
• Willingness to pay: Conversion from trial to paid

Good luck with your launch!
