How Dennis is scaling his server management tool by adding 30 signups per day

Dennis Smink is adding 30 sign-ups a day for his SaaS!

Here’s how:


🧠 The Founder(s)

My name is Dennis; I am a 33 young developer from The Netherlands 🇳🇱 

I am currently working on Ploi, a server management tool that makes managing your sites and servers a breeze.


💡 The Idea

I’ve used several tools to host my websites, and my customer's websites, but it was always a pain for me. I could never find a tool that would cover the most basic stuff. 

At one point in 2017, I got a bit sick and tired of this, and decided to start scratching my own itch. I needed a decent way of hosting my own websites, and servers and keeping them safe. That’s when Ploi was born.


🚀 The Launch

I started a little Dutch Laravel Discord community a while back (which is fairly large nowadays) and started asking colleagues to test the product. Basically from there, it started going from mouth to mouth.


🔥 Biggest growth hack?

While I didn’t do this, I think validation validation validation is the most important one. If you get some friends or colleagues to get to work with your product, most advertisement will come from mouth to mouth channels.
