A few months ago, I launched https://pagesnap.co — a simple API service that converts websites or raw HTML into high-quality PDFs using headless Chrome. It works well, it’s polished, and technically it solves a real problem (HTML-to-PDF conversion is messy, especially with Tailwind, dark mode, or JavaScript-heavy pages).
Since launching, I’ve put quite a bit of effort into marketing:
* Wrote blog posts and documentation * Created a YouTube intro video * Answered relevant questions on Reddit, Quora, Google Ads * Built backlinks and directory listings * Created Facebook, X.com accounts to post content
But so far… results have been pretty underwhelming. I’m getting a few signups, and some free trial signups, but very few convert, and traffic is nowhere near what I hoped despite the effort.
I’m wondering if other indie hackers / solo SaaS founders have experienced something similar — and what eventually worked for you? How did you find your first 50–100 paying customers when organic and content marketing wasn’t taking off?
Would also genuinely appreciate feedback on the product or site itself: https://pagesnap.co
Thanks a ton in advance
