Thank you!
Hey Michael, I have seen your product before & also following your journey on Twitter.
I can think of two ways to market this product.
Ahhhhh that's why your name sounded familiar.
Fair enough.
I send a [www.unicornsfeed.com] (newsletter) with 1600 readers, Dev's and designers. And it helps but not a lot, I simply have in the footer. I am afraid of being too salesly.
Didn't thought about this one..
Are you indide my mind? I am launching on PH next week!
Cheers mate!
That's amazing!! Congrats on the launch 🚀
Let me know if you need any help with the PH launch!

✅ Main Struggle (Optional): Finding users
Hey Olli, This is an amazing product.
I was looking for these type of tools a few weeks back and didn't found your product though.
I got an amazing idea of how you can go with the market it is, do an AMA for reviewing the onboarding of different early-stage products and let them know what problem do they have and how they can optimize this.
And out of gratitude, they will use your product as well and later when they get the value they will convert to paid versions easily.
Man!! I would love to talk to you personally about how you can grow this product, here is my twitter username @ujjwal_sukheja
Looking forward to connect with you.
✅ https://dreamnocs.com
✅ A completely team oriented habit tracking social network
✅ Getting initial user base
I like the concept of what you're building and I have given the thought of how you can get the early user because this product has "chicken and egg" problem.
First I would recommend going through the strategies of building a community at the early stage because people will not only monitor each other's habit but they also want to talk to each other.
Gaining users
I have many strategies but you need to fix the referral funnel and team invitation funnel so that people reach to "AHA" moment faster.
DM me on Twitter, you can schedule the call with me to discuss this.

✅ One or two Line Description: B2B Marketplace for India
What I understood about the product that it is a global Indian competitor for IndiaMART
Step 1: Pick a single industry inside B2B(eg. FMCG Manufacturers) - This will help you to grow one by one because you cannot ask everyone and anyone to come in the early stage.
Step 2: Join different Facebook groups for the same niche and ask people to join your WhatsApp groups according to cities or according to products in FMCG
This will become the community approach in which you can ask them to signup on the platform anytime.
Now try this strategy and see if it's getting you users whether as a WhatsApp group member or signups and if it is scalable then scale it to multi-niches.

✅ One or two Line Description: we offer AI-generated growth plans to users and match them with growth marketers who can execute that plan
✅ Main Struggle (Optional): getting to initial user base (both demand and supply side)
Just wanted to know did you used that AI-generated growth plans for Hacktika itself?
well good question, yes and no.
why no? because we absolutely have no budget, I mean literally zero. because we just migrated, started a new life, and started Hacktika and even the simplest growth plans need a minimum budget.
why yes? because we are doing so many free things from the growth plan and we have signed 2 contracts since yesterday and onboarded and vetted growth hackers.
so if you are asking if we are using Hacktika to grow Hacktika? my answer is yes, with our zero budget
Project URL: https://loopcv.pro
✅ One or two Line Description: Loopcv automates the job search!
I tried using your platform but I'm unable to create a new loop, maybe it's a Bug, or the button is broken.
A small suggestion, I saw you are asking users to pay on a monthly basis but the person who is finding the job most probably does not have that much money to subscribe to this service, what you can offer is after the user gets the job then they have to pay.
Because otherwise, you are asking for payment before providing value.

✅ Main Struggle (Optional): Paid advertising is very expensive.
Hey Wouter, Did you tried all the organic channels before going through paid channels?
I think communities where developers from startups would love to try out your solution.
Launching on hackernews and reddit can help with organic acquisition in this situation.
Thanks for your comment!
We definitely want to focus more on communities, and try to add value there. A while ago we published a post here on IH and also on Reddit. This already provided some feedback, but unfortunately no signups.
Subscriptions are steadily coming in through the paid channels, but users often remain within the free basic plan. The ROI of these campaigns are therefore not good. We do not yet reach the right target audience, which, as you already mention, is mainly startups, freelancers and small (web) agencies.
I find this target audience very difficult to reach. Do you have any tips to reach this group?
Did you validate this idea before building this?
Because paid channels won't give you the validation
DM me on Twitter, we can discuss more on this.
Thanks for this, Ujjwal, very kind of you.
✅ Project URL
https://ebizfacts.com/add-your-review/
✅ Description
We're building the Capterra for online business courses. Any course that promises to help you make money online… we're collecting, validating and displaying reviews from real students.
✅ Main Struggle
How to (a) find people who have taken those courses, and (b) incentivize them to leave an insightful review?
I didn't understand the business model here, you're giving 10$ who leaves the review, and from where you'll get that $10?
So it's difficult for me to give you any hacks for this.
here's the one strategy that you can try
a) I saw FB communities where these people connect with each other, then automate this drip messaging campaign on the people that are group members.
Thanks for the reply!
Business model is affiliate. We sign up as affiliates for all the courses. Whichever one ends up the highest rated, we make money by referring new students to them.
And yes, good idea about the FB communities. I don't understand what you mean by drip messaging though. Are you recommending we get people in the group signed up to an email list somehow? Or send them DMs on Facebook?
Send them DM on facebook
Yeah, will try that. Seems 90% of those messages get lost in the "other" inbox on Facebook though.
ASMI - Breathing Exercises App (https://asmiapp.page.link/c8Ci)
Description: Breathing Exercises App for Stress, Anxiety, Insomnia and Hypertension
Looking for tips for Organic App Installs
You can start creating youtube shorts or reels by telling the benefits of this exercise and short clips of how they can do this easily & anywhere.
Create a community around this, because I see your product is not as good as other products in this market which will affect your onboarding experience. So creating a WhatsApp community or any other community will help in the early days.
If you need more clarity on that DM me

To attract designers you need to become GUCCI of your industry, which means to market your designs and make other designers feel that it is cool to be a part of this community.
Actionable steps:
Create designs that give dopamine hit to other designers and make it public to use. Check FINSWEET case study how they marketed themself as a great webflow agency by creating awesome stuff for free and later people started to recognize them.
Create a podcast or youtube presence because designers always looking for some tips and inspirations.

https://www.dynablogger.com/
It's a simple blogging platform with just the features most people need to publish content and nothing else.
My weakness is that I don't know how to properly promote/communicate why users should give it a try, marketing in general. I am a developer so these things are new to me :)
Thanks for doing this!

Main struggle: Finding users (pre-launch) outside my immediate circle of friends.
Try going into some Reddit fitness communities, people on that Reddit will more likely to use your app.
Post about your beta version and get some tester through subreddits based on fitness niche.
Thanks for this Ujjwal. Excited to hear your thoughts!
Product: http://strively.io
Description: Connect and grow with your people (family, friends, co-workers, anyone) through fun challenges that work towards your habits, goals, and dreams.
Main Struggle: Having trouble with messaging/targeting the right user. Strively is great for anyone so our messaging is somewhat generic. Not sure we're getting the true value across.
A landing page is looking awesome!!
What are channels did you tried before?
I would think going with some niche based will be great in the starting, what I mean by this is pick one use case first and try to capture that audience first.
Later you can go for multiple use cases.
Let's take an example of "Build-in-public" Use case
You can gather a group of like-minded people and they can perform the daily task for 30 days and update their work everyday on your platform.
Thanks for that feedback Ujjwal. I think you’re right. Right now I’m going way to broad. I need to niche down and focus on a specific group. Appreciate your thoughts! 🙏

Hello Ian, Why is so much written content on the landing page?
When I was going through the landing page, I feel it's very bulky with all the write content which is not easy to read at all
For this kind of product, I can suggest going with sales-led growth.
Approach your Target Audience through Linkedin Sales Navigator and book a demo with them.
Also, did you posted your product on hackernews yet?

Thank you!
Hey Gina, I see it's a very niche product and I feel it's a bit pricy.
I would suggest going with a subreddit with small businesses as a niche to share this product.
because I feel it is something that is very niche and normal users in this industry will not buy this
Definitely very niche. I appreciate the response. Thanks again!

Hey Erika,
I'm not into the technical products most likely but the landing page is looking awesome and clean and kind of hooked me till the end.
I would choose two marketing channels for this:
Yes, those are exactly the channels we are planning to go for! Thanks!

Do you have any website or any more documentation about it?
The idea sounds cool to me but I need some more details to give you any suggestions.
This comment was deleted 2 years ago.
I already told you, it sounds cool but I want to know more to give you any strategies.
Don't think of a growth hack as a way to get quick growth, it's more of a small tweak in the growth fundamentals that contribute to your growth.

I cannot suggest anything to get users for these type of service because I don't really tried any of this service before.
