Day 6 of testing 10 SaaS ideas with $0: still zero signups

Honest update. 10 waitlist pages, each showing the real launch price. Since Oct 7: 0 signups. Pinterest got about 170 impressions in a week and 0 clicks. 12 Quora answers got about 47 views. One directory rejected us because a form link isn't a real product URL.

Lesson so far: getting seen is the hard part, and "free" channels are slow for a brand-new account with no audience. Next: keep posting useful content daily until Oct 22, then decide.

If you've validated an idea from zero, what was your first channel that actually worked?

Thanks for sharing the real numbers, zero clicks from 170 impressions is useful data. In my experience a brand-new account with no audience does better with one-to-one replies in places where people already describe the problem than with broadcast posts. A short conversation with a handful of the right people can also tell you whether the price or the problem is the blocker.
