Essential tools and resources for bootstrapped entrepreneurs
Audience Building & Social Media
Aware - With Aware I’m able to engage on LinkedIn at about 5x the speed. My audience there has grown substantially since I started using it. This is the project I’m working on now, but also what I’m using to grow it.
ContentOS - Justin Welsh has grown his audience faster than almost anyone, on LinkedIn, Twitter, and his newsletter. His ContentOS course shows his system for generating and repurposing content so you can replicate his success. Along with LinkedInOS, this is one of the best investments I made when starting to grow my audience.

Hypefury - I’ve tried a lot of Twitter tools, and I find Hypefury to be the best for growing fast on Twitter. It helps with creating threads, scheduling, and more.
Positioning & Pricing
$100M offers - When I recommend one book for people at just about any stage of their SaaS journey, it’s this one. Just read it :)
Communities
Small Bets - Small Bets is actually a course and a community, accessed with a single fee. It’s 100% worth it to help you get in the right mindset for how to approach your business.
MicroConf - MicroConf has two annual conferences (I’ve been to a few of them), and a Slack community - highly recommended.
IndieHackers - If you’re looking to share with and learn from other bootstrappers, IndieHackers should be your first stop. Follow me on there and say hi!
Newsletter publishing
Beehiiv - Hands down the best newsletter publishing platform, and used by yours truly.
