My friend @iammarcthomas Grew His Former Company's MRR (@doopoll) by 800%

Here’s how he did it.

They never ran growth himself so first, he went on learning from Demand Curve.

Demand Curve is one of the best growth marketing courses out there.

Moral: Admit it when you don’t know something.

2/ They converted landing page visitor from 4 to 14%

They found what are some key value propositions that really resonate with their audience.

Instead of becoming generic software, they choose to go with use-cases (#JBTD)
Those JBTD were employee engagement, customer satisfaction, and live event survey.

Moral: Be specific, not generic.
3/ They moved from free trial to freemium which led to increasing from 1% to 4% of free to paid conversion.

But for that, you need to know what your customers care about.
In freemium, they realized the customer sees the value with the result of the first 10 surveys.

They made it as a threshold of freemium. In SaaS, we call it Product Qualified Moment or Activation.

Moral: Talk to your customers
4/ So, how were they really able to grow?

- By talking to customers
- By positioning themselves better
- By finding the product qualified (hardest to find)

There was no hack. It was series of deep work.

In 2017, I did my master thesis on Growth hacking.

But in 2020, I changed my mind about it.

I started exploring growth marketing and related stories.

I started podcasting about it.

I'm sharing my key insights from those stories with y'all.

*Thread*
1/ Let me clarify: I'm not fighting against the semantics. I actually think people took the word "growth hacking" the wrong way.

Sean Ellis was disappointed with what it meant to different people.

But basically, it focuses on short-term wins than long term play.
2/ Insight from @nelio_leone on my podcast:

Facebook Ads: Understand your customers and find those insights to get ahead of your competition.

Your Facebook ads can only win based on creativity, not by number crunching.

A year ago, my previous startup didn't grow as I wanted it to be.

I was down and didn't know what's next.

But this year turned out great.

Joined Userpilot as a Head of Growth, grew the business 40% MoM consistently, and made it profitable.

Few lessons I learned on my way 👇
1/ Stay focused, we had an opportunity to expand into employee onboarding. We didn't go that way. Staying focused helped us achieve explosive growth in one market.
2/ Start blogging related to your topic, specialty, personas, and category. It will give you SEO credibility and keep building links to those high intent topics.

#Retention is the new growth, so if your business is struggling with retention, be ready to pivot and do something different. If you don't, you won't want to imagine what might happen. I wrote this blog for G2crowd: learn.g2.com/user-retention…
1/. Make potential customers' first contact with your product as enjoyable as possible.
Make your ad and landing page as correlated as possible. Try to keep the same voice, copy, message, and design.
2/Step into the potential customer’s brain

What are the common problems your customers are facing? Your goal is to make them addicted to your product, so point our their problems and mention your solution. Here's an example.
