As someone who is new to building startups and SaaS, I am trying to learn how I can market the app efficiently. I want to get more users on the app and get more engagement with the app. So, I have been going on a deep dive to see how I can market the app effectively. And as much as I don't want to create all these social media accounts and reach out to all of these influencers, it seems as though this is going to be required.
Other than my struggle with marketing, getting users to the app has been going well; we have officially crossed the 50-user line, and I couldn't be happier. But, of those 50 users, no more than around 34 of those users seem to be returning users. Which I believe is pretty good. Again, I do not expect the app to get real views and activity until the school year starts, which is around mid-August and early September.
Financially, I am saving the money that I receive for paying the apps monthly bills and also am trying to see if I can get a marketer, preferably a social media marketer, so that I can start getting a larger audience on the app. I do not know if it has bugs because most people have already told me if it did, so now it's just focusing on how I can improve the app's UI.
Lastly, I plan to start a YouTube channel documenting the process of making this app and doing progress reports. Overall, talking about what it's like and how I manage it with schoolwork and soccer.
Thank you for reading, and have a nice day!
