How to grow a startup from $0 to $10k/mo:

[I use these tactics for my 113+ long-term clients] 👇
1. Idea Validation

1. Go to Acquire or Flippa com
2. Filter companies that are doing over 100K a year
3. Pick a product idea that resonates with you
4. Check their testimonials and reviews
5. Build the product with better features Image
2. Find warm leads using Phantom Buster

1. Google Phantom Buster
2. Select Twitter Liker Collector workflow
3. Find 5 tweets that are very popular among your ideal customers
4. Export the liker profiles using step 2
5. Insert your offer in the Twitter Message Sender
6. Click launch and automate workflows
7. Reply to follow-up messagesImage
3. Getting the first beta users through Linkedin jobs

1. Create a free job posting on Linkedin
2. Make it explicit: ‘volunteer role, no pay'
3. Recruit beta-test volunteers for your startup
4. Redirect them to Google form and collect emails
5. Set up a Zapier automation to send emails to applicants, inviting them to test the web app.

P.s.
Repeat step 1 every 6 hours. Linkedin free job posting caps out at 150 views (the algo de-ranks after that)Image
4. Submit the startup to these 50 business directories:

1. Pitchwall .co
2. Betalist .com
3. Launchingnext .com
4. Killerstartups .com
5. 10words .io
6. Betabound .com

5. Set up outbound channel to test the target audience. Here's how:

1. Access: Apollo. io
2. Click on Search and select “C-level” under job titles
3. Choose "verified" for the Email status
4. Insert your business niche in the “Currently hiring for” section (to detect a clear buying intent for your solution)
5. Filter companies with an ARR ranging from 0.1 - 5 Million USD

6. Save search results and add scraped emails to the new sequence
7. Use the following subject line:
[Their company] <> [Your Company]

8. Don't sell in the first email, instead, outline your value proposition in under 50 words.
9. Avoid spam words: free trial, investment opportunity, etc.

P.s.
If you want to stand out and get 20% more replies, consider increasing the font size of the body text from normal to Header 1.
6. Kickstarting SEO by acquiring expired domains. Here's how:

1. Go to ExpiredDomains .com
2. Adjust filters based on their niche keywords
3. Find expired domains with a Domain Authority (DA) of 20-50
4. Choose GoDaddy auctions that are ending soon
5. Buy these domains with backlinks, set up 301 redirects to the primary LP, and significantly boost SEO!
7. Getting backlinks from these high DA sites:

1. Crunchbase
2. Weebly
3. Gthub
4. Pixabay
5. Foursquare
6. Blogger
7. About me
8. Pexels
