A fellow solopreneur here, I've been doing it for several years now. I browsed through your profile, website, Twitter account, and I'm still not sure what your product is and what it does. Is it consulting? Coaching? Book? You don't have a lot of followers (me neither), so tweeting won't get you far as you're talking into a void. Instead, join existing discussions where people already are. Also, don't use too many hashtags - it looks spammy. Not trying to put you down, just offering a different perspective you might not hear otherwise. I hope you succeed.

Thanks for the tips on posting. I do offer multiple services, including coaching/consulting and my book. I’m also working on. SaaS that is in progress.

  > launched my first SaaS 3 months ago, and got zero users I couldn't find a link to your SaaS from your website. Maybe you should put a giant button linking to the SaaS, put it in your Twitter bio, pin a tweet to it, your HN bio and every other place that you can think of. Assuming that's something you want to promote more than all the other things on your website.

    Thanks for the suggestion. This particular one was classified as failed, I don't intent to work on it. I'm focusing on another one, which is close to be released as private alpha. This one, I'll try to pin everywhere.

      even if it's private alpha, you should probably release it to a friendly hostile audience or feedback. Once against it is beta, you can release it to the world at large because well that's what a lot of SAAS companies do. Once you get some revenue, then you can make it better. Otherwise, if you don't get the feedback you need on how to make the product better and live in your own head, you might find yourself polishing turd. if I want to see someone who's done that, all I need is a mirror.

        Yes I agree. I just need to finish a small missing functionality, and get a domain + hosting for it
