Alright team... it's time for the update.
So what's been happening over the last two weeks?
I did detail this partially in last week's podcast episode... but we made approx. $33k in 7 days at the end of the bCast AppSumo deal. This gives us approx. £90k in "seed capital" to invest back into the product over the next six months to make hands down... the best podcast host for marketers.
If you want an intro to my man at AppSumo, reply to this email with a link to your SaaS.

What have you been doing? Hit reply and let me know...

A little known SaaS SEO trick…
Get your support team to document everything they do in the written form, though it can include gifs, images and videos where needed. Structure this content into categories and stick it in a CMS on a subdomain and BOOM - more highly relevant keywords, rankings and traffic.
This can change the game… the ultimate
strategy.
It's the most under-utilised strategy whilst also being the most impactful. This is how marketplaces work - they get their users to produce content, and then they display the content publicly, with a very SEO friendly page.
But SaaS businesses can also get in on the game:
So stop reading this email and think…
What content are your users creating with your SaaS, and how can you convince them to allow you to make this information public, for search engines to gobble up?
