I launched my first SaaS (https://www.wisecashhq.com - cash flow forecasting for freelancers and SBOs) in private beta one year ago.
I enabled the (upfront) paywall a couple of weeks ago and have currently 15 or so paying customers (the early adopters got a 20% lifetime discount).
For marketing, I'm going to use twitter, useful blog posts (educational, howtos) related to cashflow AND how to start your own SaaS successfully.
In terms of getting traction, I think that putting a very basic landing page a year and a half ago helped me get traction - I mentioned the product quite often on twitter while working on it.
Great! Same thing I've been doing with mine (http://sociostock.com) with regards to the lander. I've reviewed some landing page debates from the likes of 37signals, but was curious as to how often you altered your design and the effect it had on signups/conversions?
