Best drivers of our traffic so far are from specific Facebook groups + LinkedIn. Just need to keep engaging on these channels.

Hey! The answer depends on the startup that I work with but I will say definitely Organic Search is the best channel by far. What is the best channel for a SaaS startup?

The following are common channels that can drive traffic to a website: - Search engines (e.g. Google, Bing) - Social media (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) - Referral traffic (e.g. links from other websites) - Direct traffic (e.g. people typing the URL directly into their browser) - Email marketing - Paid advertising (e.g. Google AdWords, Facebook Ads) - Content marketing (e.g. blog posts, videos, infographics) - Influencer marketing - Affiliate marketing - Offline advertising (e.g. print, TV, radio) Let me know if you any specific question from these above channels.

For me and https://stakingcrypto.io, it was definitely Reddit and then Twitter. I automatized the fact that on any new staking rate change, it creates a tweet/post. On Twitter the results are cool and still on On Reddit, the adoption was massive but I got banned and have no idea how to get unbanned.If you have an idea by the way I want it!
@martin_ratinaud I got banned on Reddit too lol

@alara_akcasiz I guess there is some room for a tool that prevents that :-)

LinkedIn!

Quality traffic for our brand came from organic efforts :) But last year, surprisingly, traffic from Linkedin and Tiktok were among those channels that have longer page sessions compared to other SocMed channels :)

I feel that it really depends upon what product or business you have. For a B2B SaaS, LinkedIn and Facebook groups (specifically related to your niche and product) works the best.

Value adding content, on specific topics, BY FAR drives the best traffic. Maybe not in terms of quantity, but quality - for sure. No fluff.

We have a work tech platform (B2B SaaS) and our ICP spends a lot of time on LinkedIn to gather resources. So the point being the channel works after figuring out the ICP and where they spend time to learn and connect.

It all depends on the industry. Each industry has different rules.

In our case, it is a blog on our website.

CPC advertising is an invaluable tool for me, whether it's for product validation or market expansion. If CPC advertising can't make your product profitable, then other traffic channels will also be hard-pressed to make you successful.

For my project https://skillcombo.com/ main channel is SEO because I and my cofounder are experts in this field)

My best is on Product Hunt. We have launched "Lens - 10x your engagement in Zoom sessions" today. Let's see if this channel works! 🚀

The best channel for driving traffic to our video conferencing tool (getlens.io) has been word-of-mouth because we have seen that once educators and students experience the magic of real-time polls, leaderboards, and in-session engagement activities, they keep talking about it non-stop. And that's the kind of promotion money can't buy!

Organic search :)

Social media platforms, but those are highly dependent on your target audience. For us, as a SaaS B2B business, LinkedIn seems to be working out the best so far.

@alara_akcasiz My assumption is that you might not have a big active follower base. My recommendation is that you should actively engage your employees with the posts. Also, be consistent with posting high quality posts on regularly.
Mike Nash
@testifi same for us. Especially early in product adoption, LinkedIn has been super effective at activating our collective network. We have a regular blog post we push out to LinkedIn, Medium, and Twitter right now, but it's all LinkedIn traffic that converts so far.
Daniel Burns
@heymikenash That's great! We tried with Twitter, but it wasn't really that successful. We haven't tried Medium yet. What do you think, should we try also with Medium?
Mike Nash
@testifi it's not generating any real traffic for us right now, but we also have a super low follower count. We just haven't put the effort in yet to grow our footprint there. FWIW, the strategy of 'blindly cross-post on medium and they will come' doesn't seem to work :)
Daniel Burns
@heymikenash Thank you for your feedback! Yeah, I think that having a big (and active) follower base makes the biggest impact overall! I think we should keep focusing on LinkedIn instead jumping to Medium or Twitter, for now :)
