Revenue clues

Supademo grew from zero to $1M ARR in 11 months, with 200,000+ users across 100+ countries. The author says there was zero outbound and zero paid ads, with one AE handling inbound.
The first several thousand signups came from Reddit: the founder made free interactive demos for other SaaS websites and posted them in r/SaaS comments. Later, a free screenshot editor ranked for 'free online screenshot editor' and drove 50%+ of traffic with 11-12% visitor-to-signup conversion. LinkedIn posting added long-term brand familiarity.

Summary

This is a strong B2B SaaS non-paid distribution case: manual Reddit service, free-tool SEO, low-friction trial, and long-running founder-led content instead of paid acquisition.
