What's got larger customers?

SaaS: North Dakota $400k+ MRR Helping You Manage Marketing Calendar

Our customer, so we really focused heavily on inbound marketing.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
SaaS: North Dakota $400k+ MRR Helping You Manage Marketing Calendar

So maybe the weirdest thing we did is we actually started doing inbound marketing long before we even had written code.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
SaaS: North Dakota $400k+ MRR Helping You Manage Marketing Calendar

We actually started with marketing for our entire product.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
SaaS: North Dakota $400k+ MRR Helping You Manage Marketing Calendar

So we launched our site, we started our blog, and we started talking about the topic that we were building, which...

It's something that a lot of people are doing more so now.

Headline Analyzer, that is a weird one because we actually started looking at this mass amount of data that we had in our tool set, right?
