Solo SaaS builders — how do you actually split your time between building and marketing?
by•
I've been heads-down building for the last few months, and now that I'm past my first launch I'm hitting the classic problem: every hour spent writing code is an hour not spent talking to users, posting, or actually finding people who need what I built. For those of you doing this solo (or with a tiny team) — what's your actual split? Is it a strict schedule (mornings = build, afternoons = marketing), or more reactive depending on what's on fire that week? Has that ratio shifted as you've grown, or gotten more lopsided one way?
Trying to figure out if I should be spending less time in the editor right now, or if that's premature.

More reactive than scheduled here. What actually moved my ratio was tracking replies instead of output. Once something gets a real reply I stay on it instead of moving to the next thing on the calendar, follower count and post count stopped telling me anything useful.
