How I went from 0 to 1.5k Traffic + 188 signups in 30 days with my first-ever landing page.

I DID NOT SEE THIS COMING.

Before I started this new SAAS journey, I always thought signup pages were complete BS and not worthwhile. BOY, was I wrong. I've never done such a quick U-turn in my entire life...

30 Days ago I decided WTF, I'll create a landing page and maybe see if a few people are interested - either way, I was still going to create my product.

Just to be clear, I have since created over 5 landing pages based on the original. However, I went back to the original around 15 days ago and made it super simple and barebone - which currently converts at around 12-15%.

30 days in and I have hit 1.5k traffic and 188 signups to my BETA testing stage. I am amazed.

How did I get traffic?

All the traffic is organic. 80% is Indiehackers. You lovely people have made my SAAS business come to life. (https://www.spreadtech.online/)

How did I get so many of you onboard? Content.

I don't promote Spread, ever. I create content that encapsulates something that many of you can relate to, and include Spread sprinkled within it. (Like I'm doing in this post).

Many of you would then click this link and wallah I was getting on average 5 signups per day.

Considering Indie/small online businesses is my target market, you guys ate it up. I can't wait to help all of you guys out. BIG time.

My landing page strategy?

(I'm not an expert, barley an amateur as you'll probably be able to tell!)

As I said, I have made 5 iterations of my first landing page. Each was grander than the last. Which only equated in less and less signups.

I go into much more detail in my most popular IH post here: https://www.indiehackers.com/post/i-made-5-landing-pages-deleted-everything-went-back-to-basics-and-saw-the-highest-signup-rate-fe6ba86a7e

I stripped my landing page down to the bare minimum as you'll see now: https://www.spreadtech.online/

Straight to the point. NO BS.

Big value proposition. What the product actually does. A diagram. Signup form.

Simple. In my naive opinion, this is the best approach. But it will obviously depend on your product and customer.

What will I do next?

As soon as Spread is fully built (July), with the help of a professional landing page designer/web app designer I will create the perfect landing page and web app design. (If you know one, then please tag them below).

When that is created I will also be sharing reports and what I've learned to help you guys out some more :)

TBH I wouldn't be where I am if it wasn't for you guys. I have made so many posts asking for help with my LP, and everyone has had constructive comments on it. This was my little give back present.

My new goal is 250 by the end of June (ready for the BETA launch). Spread is currently free to use if you sign up now. But eventually, it will be payment blocked.

If you've read this far down then I have two questions for you:

1. What are you working on?
2. How are you getting users signed up?

Thank you for reading :)
