Six powerful tips to grow your Quora space by @tejas3732

  1. Insert your Quora Space inside your BIO & Ask People to follow.
  2. While ending your answer try to link your Quora Space.
  3. Create a viral loop. Write Answers-> Take them to your BIO-> Quora Space Link.
  4. Invite your followers to become to follow your Space. You can check settings for that.
  5. Give a proper name to your Quora Space. (Add an emoji too) The more relevant your Quora Space name is, the more followers you will get for free (organically from Quora)
  6. Share your Quora space by using an invite link not a direct link to your space (Example: My SaaS Marketing Space)

How to sell your product via email (...and anticipate objections!) by @ryanh1

Have you ever wondered what they're thinking when they read your message? They're thinking of reasons NOT to buy. They're thinking: "It's too expensive. How do I know that it will work? Maybe there's a better one out there."You can anticipate those objections and neutralize them before they arise. This is how:

1. State the objection to gain trust
"You may be thinking: how does this product compare to {Competitor's Product}."

2. Offer evidence to neutralize the objection
"9 out of 10 people preferred our product over {Competitor's Product}."

3. Neutralize the objection by offering guarantees
"If you find an equivalent product at a lower price, we'll match that price."

    'MVP does not equal shit product', True.

    Here are other myths about Minimum Viable Product -

    • This is just a MVP.
    • MVP is ‘as many features I can build into my product’ within the scheduled launch.
    • MVP is what we build in X weeks.
    • MVP should showcase the vision of the complete product.
    • Mine is not a MVP, it is a MUP, MLP etc.
    • Function matters more than design in a MVP & vice versa.
    • MVP need not make money.
    • MVP is the smaller, cheaper version of our product.
    • I need not market my MVP, I should save my marketing budget for the final product.
    • It’s just the MVP, I need not take the negative feedback seriously.
    • MVP would get me investments.
    • I should build my MVP in secret as someone would steal the idea.
