Ask HN: What sort of SaaS related content do you read?

16 points·brilliantcode··3 comments

hey guys I'm brainstorming ideas for what to write for my upcoming series of blog/podcast posts on starting and launching a bootstrapped SaaS project.

Is there a go-to website/blog/content that you turn to for your SaaS project?

My goal is to deliver quality content surrounding any topic you are interested in regarding SaaS.

I don't follow many blogs, but a service super related to SaaS businesses is ChartMogul (https://chartmogul.com/). We were (http://feeder.co) completely blind before them. It's amazing how much you don't know about your own subscriber base. They do really good content marketing as well.

A few great resources for SaaS founders (particularly those targeting enterprise buyers): http://www.saastr.com https://hitenism.com http://www.enterprisesales.nyc http://www.heavybit.com/library https://www.enterpriseready.io

I wish I knew about these enterprise sales 3 years ago when I was actively pursuing big brands naively. Having said that I highly doubt an individual bootstrapping their SaaS can even get a foot in the door with high value enterprise accounts regardless of how great you are (I'd love to be proven wrong here). As a Sales Engineer I can see how much of a team effort enterprise sales is and how resource intensive it is (consuming marketing, biz dev, product, c-suites).

What can I possibly write or talk about content that's unique that's still useful to the little guys without an enterprise sales team?

Regardless, those blogs you listed are real gems. Can't wait to clear out my weekend to dive into those.

Cheers!
