Ask HN: How do you do marketing in the age of slop?
Hi dear hackernewsfolks, vocal contributors and lurkers alike.
We (that is to say my business partner and I) are building SaaS products, but we are really struggling to find enough users. This is an age old problem, but I find it has gotten particular bad after LLMs made it trivially to make apps and services. Whether these products end up good or bad is mostly irrelevant, the end effect is the same: the market just seems so heavily saturated with new products, that it's incredibly hard to break through the constant drone of people vying for attention (the irony of me finding a way to do the same isn't lost on me).
Even briefly mentioning what we are building in a comment on a "what are you working on" thread yesterday, had my inbox filled with AI outreach from questionable SEO, "How to optimize your product", "let me create a garbage video for you" style e-mails.
My conclusion so far are:
- e-mail outreach (and particularly cold outreach) really doesn't work, and I never found it quite ethical to start with - communities like LinkedIn are also heavily dominated by AI slop and people at corporates who are bored and looking to build an audience (maybe an unfair characterisation and maybe more a view into my feed than the state of the platform as a whole?) - indiehackers etc I have never gotten to work, but that might be a skills issue - "being present in forums etc where our users are" seems the best bet so far, but very hit and miss - we have had some very minor success with influencer marketing - paid search ads etc have resulted in lots of clicks but absolutely abhorrent conversions in our case, whereas conversions for the more organic channels like forums etc are excellent (maybe a targeting issue...) In short: I'd love to learn how you do this and how you think of the role of marketing and how you approach getting customers, particularly now that the very same customers likely have inboxes filled by AI generated outreach.
Lots of love from Berlin

Show HN: Webround - an API-first e-commerce platform
Hi, I'm Luca, from Italy and I've spent the last two years building Webround: an API-first e-commerce platform. It started as a different project because I wanted to make my portfolio website editable without writing code and keeping the freedom to build any layout. But, while doing so, things evolved and the idea of making it a Headless platform for e-commerces started growing. That's when I went all-in and fired myself from my previous job and spent countless hours building (and re-building) it. You have a lot of freedom here: - You can no-code your website with the drag & drop editor and host it. - You can build custom React components in the very same editor, straight from the browser, installing any NPM package and using Tailwind. You also have access to an integrated SDK for e-commerce functions (like cart management, user auth sessions, checkout start, etc.) - You can leverage the public APIs documented at https://docs.webround.com to build virtually anything: integrations, custom apps, headless storefronts, etc. - You can connect your Stripe account to collect payments - You can use the editor to build visual documents and export them as images or pdfs. There are many things I've done to make it reliable, scalable and to give developers a lot of power. If you want to get a more detailed overview on why I built it, here's a video where you can also see my big face: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJnfTxUMKvU One last note: every feature is basically free until you want to host your website, while the e-commerce APIs give you strong restrictions if you're on the free plan (although you can try everything). If you need, I can activate a subscription for you without any problem, or you can self-serve with a free 14-day trial. Thank you very much if you decide to try the platform out and if you want to have a conversation, share thoughts, or whatever, you can contact me directly, I'll be more than happy to talk to you.
