Loving the videos. I’d love to see you continue you these for a few days after the launch so we see day to day how the launch is going.

Hi Mike,

Posting the link for the blog article you mentioned in case anyone else was looking for it: https://justinjackson.ca/software-saas-product-marketing/

And a quick question: the weekly snapshot of what each of your customers is doing (how many api calls, which days did they use the product, etc), which tool are you using for that?
And how often do you check that?

Thanks JJ! Sorry about that. I totally spaced on including the link to Justin’s article.

The snapshot I get is actually daily, not weekly. It’s a custom scheduled job that runs inside my worker service so I’m not using a tool. For some statistics, I get a total aggregate number. For certain stats, it shows me both the total aggregate, the aggregate for the last 7 days, and a daily number for each of the last 7 days.

It’s really simplistic. Just an HTML table with zero formatting that I receive every evening for all active accounts. You’d laugh if you saw it because it’s super-ugly. 🙂 It really should be embedded in my SysAdmin area but I haven’t had time to move the queries and wire up the UI for it.

Ok, makes sense. Thanks for the reply!
