I built a SaaS site ten months ago, and it's now stable at around 450 MRR per month. It's hard to increase it further. Is there any way to get traffic? Doing SEO is too hard. thanks

I would suggest to try some authority PR. It would help you get discovered in AI engine like gemini, chatgpt, claude etc. Thats important nowadays.

SEO is the slowest lever, so I would not lean on it to break a plateau. What worked fast for me was one researched Reddit post: scrape the subreddit your users live in (append .json to any Reddit URL), write in their exact words, real numbers, one soft link at the bottom. Per view it beat anything I boosted.

Post about it more on reddit and buy karma to the post to stay on top of the page, or add affiliate to your current subscriber, maybe giving them a month 50% off sub if they bring in someone word of mouth is way much easier.

450 at ten months means the product works, the distribution just doesn't. Before you chase new traffic I'd look at what you already have... 450 MRR is probably like 20-30 customers, so a price test or a higher tier can move that number more than any traffic channel in the short run. Cheap to test too.
On the reddit stuff, @Predictalpha's approach is the sane version of it. Actually reading the sub, writing like a person, one link at the bottom. @halekrealme the karma buying part is how you end up shadowbanned and then that channel is dead for you permanently, not really worth it when the organic version works fine if the post is good.
The referral idea though is solid. 50% off for a month is weak imo, people don't move for that. Give them something that actually matters, free month or a permanent discount while the referral stays subscribed. You already have the customers, cheapest channel you'll ever get.
Other thing nobody mentioned... integrations and directories. Depending on your niche, being listed where your users already are (marketplace, app directory, whatever tool they pair yours with) brings small but steady signups and it compounds. Not sexy but it's basically free.

you are absolutely right, my bad.
