Hi everyone!

For the last 1 year+, I've been building my SaaS, a mobile app store optimization (ASO) platform named [GrowASO](https://GrowASO.com)

For a long time things felt like I'm constantly hitting one wall or another

But I want to write this post to motivate you and let you know that it can be slowly rewarding if you're willing to put in the hard yards, show up everyday and most importantly

Maintain a good balance of development & marketing

This is the key - most builders who fail either focus extremely on development (no one uses their product), or extremely on marketing (product sucks, so no one buys it)

You need to strike that balance and figure out where your target audience hangs out

For me, it was mobile app developers who are looking to grow organically

So how did I market and develop my product?

1. I focused on Reddit, X and YouTube
2. Educated the community about ASO
3. Did free app audit reviews (literally shot videos and helped people out for free)
4. Built free tools to get developers to experience the product

One thing that also worked well for me was offering monthly subscriptions, before that I was only offering yearly and things were slow, but giving the monthly option helped build up a bigger incoming funnel

I'm happy to answer any questions you may have or review your SaaS! 

My SaaS made $850 in the last 30 days - here's a summary of what worked!
