Eg: Check out Scenes by Avalon they are a community based platform with the perfect integration of Social Media.
Number 2: Pick a niche that is profitable and sustainable.
Yes, it is true that you must constantly weigh the pros and cons before investing in a market and assisting it to expand. It is critical that you solve the problems of the people who already exist in that area rather than adding to their problems.
Eg: Cred is a financial platform where they have been helping a wide range of people specially Entrepreneurs, Freelancers and many more to improve their spending habits and clear debt on time to get more rewards.
Number 3: Use marketing automation to save time on customer acquisition.
It’s a requirement or you’ll lose consumers. You must automate some of the tasks in this planet or you will not be able to complete the adventure!! Only automation can prevent you from having to contact with your new consumer right away!!
Eg: Sending a welcome email right away as they signup to your platform or the service that you had been providing
Number 4: Take your product or service to market.
You need to execute the product and release the MVP(Minimum Viable Product) as you need to know that your existing customers are liking the product or not and the people are interested in buying your service/ product you have been offering.
Eg: release a beta versions where only a selected people can join in and use the product so that you can iterate the mistakes in MVP of that cool tool you had been making!!
Number 5: Invest in online advertising and marketing tools.
Online advertising doesn't mean only fb ads btw! It means getting attention on the internet wherever and whenever you can!!
Eg: Reach out to niched Instagram influencers, LinkedIn influencers , bulk mailing etc.
Number 6: Provide incredible customer service so you can wow customers.
Most underrated if you are personalizing your content for a certain group of people there is a high chance that people will share the story with others!
Free marketing…yay!!
eg: check out the mailing list for Zomato, Swiggy or Internshala!
Number 7: Sell at a profit, or provide an essential service that the market needs.
Remember you are selling solutions to problems and not problems to a solution! Yup if you want to do business at first you might have to sell it at a lost for the sake of Cost of Acquisition. But learn the power of upselling for making profits!!
eg: CRED is make losses right now but the LTV(Life time value) high!! As they have thousands of loyal customers who will be there with the startup buying their or using their services for a long time!!
Number 8:Be Selfish During Branding Your product
You have to be the biggest marketer of your startup to initiate growth so brand it out selfishly as no body will promote the product as you would!
Number 9:Get a referral program ready to have some growth.
Really important if you want to grow exponential. Every small to big companies have referral programme ready where customers get discount or some incentives in return to referring new customers.

You have to have the growth hacking tools that will give you growth to get leads to get people who will be interested in your brand and that you might need a lot of SaaS products to make a successful sale!!

Number 13: Engage with your growing community
Open a discord channel or a WhatsApp group you will be overwhelmed how this community is going to help you!!
Eg: whenever you publish a new product they will be a building block for your projects they will go through all your mistakes so that you can reiterate it.
Save your self from f**king it up in public rather than producing a beta product for your community.
