Before I will dive into the topic of this week, I want to announce the SaaS Manual Discord channel. The purpose of this channel is to create a space for us to exchange ideas, questions, feedback, or really anything related to building SaaS projects. If you are curious about it please feel welcome to join here.
I also want to thank a few folks: Reshen Amin and Justin Dray for reviewing the initial content for SaaS Manual, Luca Cipriani who started contributing to the SaaS Manual list of topics, reviewed a bunch of content, and started writing, and everybody who reached out through email, on the Discord channel or other channels. It is so cool that we are starting to create a small, friendly, and welcoming community of folks who love to build things through code.

Welcome! Time for another post 🎉 Now that you have some context on why I started SaaS Manual, it finally is time to dive into how I launched the initial landing page at https://saasmanual.com. With a very tiny budget and in a very short amount of time.
Ok, here is the deal. To get the SaaS Manual landing page up and running, I simply followed a few steps from this awesome site https://fruitionsite.com. The tutorial also explains how you can use custom scripts to add behavior to your page. I used this "feature" to integrate Plausible analytics into the SaaS Manual pages.
I also had a look at https://super.so/ but you need to pay for their services. My current goal is to keep the budget low until SaaS Manual has meaningful revenue. That was all, done and dusted.
