How would you market this service?


Hi all,

I have a genuine problem here, I have been working for myself on a licensing layer for my personal apps.

A few fellow developers are using it after seeing how good it is, but I've had a very hard time getting new users into the platform.

In average, a dozen of people are signing up a week and are going through the first steps, setup their dashboard and issue their first license. I made a CLI that automates all of that by safely.

Then, blank.

I feel like I didn't find the way to properly show off the service or I don't know. For me it totally make sense to use a licensing layer, it ensures your data stays in one spot, even if u use multiple payment providers or MoR.

Although it seems hard for people to understand the value of it.

I won't share the link, I'm not doing marketing here. The SaaS is really about, licensing your app, customer portal, payment provider agnostic, deep analytics, usage and cross-platform SDKs.

Do any of you have any ideas?

You might have a positioning problem more than a product problem.Have you tried asking users what made them stop after issuing their first license?
