It turns out there are two distinct SaaStr audiences. Those that read SaaStr’s pieces on SaaStr.com. And those that read SaaStr on Quora.
SaaStr-on-Quora has most of the longer-form content on SaaStr.com — plus over 1,000 shorter answers and pieces.
For some of you, another 1000 pieces of content on Scaling SaaS … that may be overkill 🙂
But for others, there’s a ton of popular content on Scaling SaaS over on Quora you haven’t seen here. It seems to have hit a sweet spot for some at least — Quora named SaaStr to its Top Writers for 2012, 2013, and again now for 2014.
So I thought I’d highlight the most popular pieces on Quora that aren’t also on SaaStr.com below:
