Overview

This skill helps SaaS and software founders generate targeted marketing ideas, inspiration, and strategies. It contains a curated library of 139 proven marketing approaches organized by category and stage. Use it to get 3–5 prioritized, actionable tactics tailored to your product, audience, budget, and team.

How this skill works

First, I check any existing product marketing context you’ve provided and ask any missing clarifying questions about stage, budget, audience, and past experiments. Then I recommend 3–5 highest-impact ideas from the 139-item library, each with why it fits, how to start (2–3 steps), expected outcomes, and required resources. I adapt suggestions by stage (pre-launch, early, growth, scale), budget, and timeline for quick wins versus long-term investments.

When to use it

• You need fresh growth ideas or a prioritized marketing plan for your SaaS product.
• You ask for 'marketing ideas', 'growth ideas', 'how to market', or similar queries.
• You want tactics matched to stage (pre-launch, early, growth, scale) and budget.
• You need concrete implementation steps and resource estimates.
• You want to compare multiple channels and pick 2–3 to test first.

Best practices

• Share product stage, main goal, budget, and what you’ve already tried before requesting ideas.
• Start with 3 prioritized experiments and define success metrics and a timeline.
• Match ideas to resources: free tactics for small teams, paid/channel mix for growth stage.
• Combine quick wins (ads, email) with medium/long-term plays (SEO, communities).
• Iterate: measure results, double down on winners, and retire failing experiments.

Example use cases

• Early-stage B2B SaaS wants low-cost lead generation: recommend content+community+free tool ideas.
• Growth-stage product needs faster acquisition: prioritize paid search, LinkedIn ads, and partnership marketing.
• Pre-launch startup preparing Product Hunt and waitlist referrals with early access incentives.
• Scale-stage company planning international expansion and brand campaigns with localized pricing.
• Developer-facing product seeking DevRel, integrations, and certification programs to drive adoption.
