📝 ✨ ~ What do I email my SaaS users?

Thu, 19 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT

"What do I email my SaaS users?" is a question you should probably be asking a little earlier in your journey than I did. No email has yet been sent to Prune your Follows users 😬

You could probably ask ChatGPT, but I am getting "at capacity" messages right now. Also, I still believe in a little human touch.

But if you, like me, still need some help getting started with your SaaS lifecycle emails, check out Userlist's Full-Text Campaign Templates.

No more staring at a blank ~piece of paper~ screen 💪

They got templates for:

Basic Onboarding
Upgrade to Paid
Newly Upgraded
Switch to Annual Billing
Ask for a Review
Offer Support Proactively
NPS Survey
Upcoming Payment
Failed Payment Recovery
Cancellation Survey

I'll use the "Basic Onboarding" and "Ask for a Review" myself in the coming weeks as we set up campaigns for Prune your Follows.

All the best,
Queen Raae

Disclosure: Co-founder of Userlist Benedikt is my Slow&Steady co-host and is sponsoring Prune your Follows with an account. But I have been recommending these templates for a long time with great feedback.

🎬 🎞 ~ Tool recommendation - Descript

Wed, 26 Oct 2022 00:00:00 GMT

Ever wanted to make one of those explainer videos with text overlay?

Descript makes it so easy you might get sick of me posting videos to Twitter 🤪

Descript transcribes your videos. Then you may use the transcription as your text overlay like I have added above my head in the example above.

But even cooler! You can edit the video by editing the transcription. It makes it much easier to remove parts and rearrange your sentences.

I found that very beneficial when creating clips of me answering questions on the stream. It seems I often start with some background and then arrive at my answer. However, the other way around works much better for the short clip version.

All the best,

🛠 ✨ ~ A little tool to help with npm peer dependencies

Wed, 12 Oct 2022 00:00:00 GMT

Have you tried npmpeer.dev? A super helpful tool for figuring out peer dependency compatibility, like what is the highest version of gatsby-plugin-image compatible with Gatsby v3?

👏 📖 ~ Recommended Read — How to Create List of Related Content in Gatsby.JS

Wed, 20 Apr 2022 00:00:00 GMT

While researching how to do related content, I came over this excellent article How to Create List of Related Content in Gatsby.JS.

I feel @reckoningdev solution using a custom resolver feels much more like the Gatsby way of solving the use case than many other solutions I found.

His selection criteria are pretty sophisticated, but you could opt for a random selection or any other criteria that makes sense on your site.

We'll be following this article on tomorrow's unauthorized and rum-fueled treasure hunt in the sharky waters around the Gatsby islands to add a "related emails" section to my site.
