So... we just hit $1M ARR 🎉 I'm amazed 🤯 at how fast that happened. A year ago we didn't even have a product. I'll soon share how we did that. But right now it's time to celebrate and give back 🙏 If you're a maker and need money, we have something for you 👇 https://t.co/i539d1B8aB

Twitter is the most underrated social media channel in the world.

Got to $800k ARR. Next target is the big $1M. Here's 5 things we did to get where we are now. And I swear you won't have read these 100 times on Twitter already. https://t.co/zqnI4rPKZM

Ways to kill your startup: - ignore user feedback - give your product for free - hire too early - avoid marketing - micro-managing - delay launch

Our landing page cost us next to nothing but took us to $50K MRR. And it's not like I'm a pro designer or CRO expert. Here's the tools we used and how we built and improved it 👇 https://t.co/K1WU8WLOi9

On a train to Paris to see my cofounder @tibo_maker again. Wow, 2 times in 6 weeks. Are we really that remote? https://t.co/qvUwggcK5v

Lots of hype around starting SaaS with personal brand, community, etc. Ignore the hype. Reality is: that stuff is usually a distraction and most successful software businesses don't start like that. Instead build the right thing, make the product great, and do marketing/sales.

A majority of products fail by doing too much rather than too little.

Marketing without education is sleazy promotion.

Hey Founders 👋 Marketing matters Features can be copied Good ideas can be stolen At the end of the day... the better brand wins

If you’ve ever made a friend, you have marketing experience.

SaaS company: "Pricing starts $49/mo. Need SSO? It's now $4,900/mo"

"The two skills of modern business: Storytelling and spreadsheets. Know the numbers. Craft the narrative." – @JamesClear

Most SaaS products today can easily be copied so focus on building a distribution company rather than a software company.

A great product and a great team are the only growth hacks you need.

The best growth hack is building a business you're passionate about. Avoiding burn-out is half the battle.

My favorite growth hack is a really good product.

Can we just ban the term growth hack forever please.

Marketing is about motivating people to consume. Community is about motivating people to create.

If you tweet enough, people will start telling YOU what your niche is. That's the best way to find it.

People who can build suck at selling. People who can sell suck at building. If you learn how to build and sell, then you become unstoppable 💯

To those who blocked me when I tweeted about the lack of marketing and hoped I sold and lost money, too bad you’re missing all my $TEL tweets now 😜😘

The modern professional has many talents rather than just one: 🎨 Data scientist who knows Figma ✏️ Engineer who writes copy 👨‍💻 Marketer who can run SQL queries Learning new skills is made easier by user friendly tools and an abundance of information. Always be learning.

Send this to your CEO: Brand is not your logo or website colors. Brand is your reputation. The best way to build reputation in 2021 is content. Content builds authority, cred, trust. That’s why we should have a podcast, blog, social, YouTube.

Can I raise a fund where we design really good brands AND incubate early stage startups? Does anyone want to do this with me?

First step to become a successful marketer: Get obsessed with understanding your customers.

Just made my first angel investment! 🥳 *runs to add "investor" to all of my social profiles*

Build a team so strong that no one can point out the leader.

Founders who think they’ll succeed only because their product is great usually end up crushed by worse products with better marketing.

Most people won’t support you until they see it’s popular to support you or until they need something.

Do you want to do something that has a huge ROI? Build an audience and help others.

The most effective strategy (in my view) to make your product better is to sign up as a new user, and go through all the flows every few weeks. So underrated!

Marketing is about understanding people. It’s that simple. And that hard.

Twitter is one of the most underrated tools for entrepreneurs. It has helped me find new users, customers, and investors for Toucan 🔥

Having customers will fix any motivation problems you have.

Founders, the only validation you need is from your customers.

Imagine not looking at your portfolio every ten seconds. Could never be me...

Reading a book is like getting a software update for your brain.

Progression in a nut shell - flipped sneakers - 20% margins - flipped services - 40% margins - started an agency - 70-80% margins - started a saas - 90% margins My goal is to literally walk you through the process of going from 20% margins to 90% margins.

“I didn’t have a marketing strategy, my product was so good that it just attracted customers.” Said no successful founder ever.

I don’t like setting goals but... Next year I want to turn Zero to Marketing into a profitable online business! 🚀

Price increase was the move: Monday: 1.8k visitors, $255 revenue Raised price on tues morning. Tuesday: 1.6k visitors, $420 revenue Conversion rate went up slightly

while you tweak your pre-launch kubernetes setup, someone's launching & making $10k mrr from it

Calling your SaaS application "No code" is the new "We have AI" 🙄

No mate, this really isn't the week for me to book a 30-minute discovery call with you for your new saas tool

I launched a SaaS. The next day I have a new idea and I can't stop thinking about it. indie hacking sucks, I can't focus on one thing 🤦

Software isn't enterprise ready until it has a "contact sales" pricing tier.

I don't want to book a meeting to find out your pricing.

My product pricing philosophy: 100 customers paying $30 is better than 10 customers paying $300 By selling it cheaper to 100 customers, you can gain 100 product evangelists who are excited to share about your product.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but maybe a subscription pricing model is NOT right for your product 💸

Pricing products is crazy hard. What tips, tricks or lessons do you have for getting it right early on? Or is it all just trial and error?

Copywriting is an entrepreneurs swiss-army knife: • Website → copy • Sales deck → copy • Content → copy Good copy sells your skills.

If you learn copywriting you’ll find wealth.

5 side hustles to start in 2021: 1) YouTube 2) Copywriting 3) Twitter ebooks 4) Email Marketing 5) Affiliate Marketing Pick 1 and master it this year

The most underrated way to become a better marketer is to talk with customers more. 90% of the time they’ll give you the words and insights you’re searching for.

Fun fact: We can attribute >80% of our customer acquisition to Twitter. We have spent exactly $0 on Twitter.

I’m very aware (and increasingly more so) that I’m good at building and launching but *terrible* at growing. I need help.

It’s not the best product that wins. It’s the best-known product that wins.

Product founders suck at marketing. Marketing founders suck at product. A founder who understands both is lightning in a bottle ⚡️

Freelancers! When you have a quiet period: - Improve your website - Stock up blog posts - Start a mailing list - Create a product - Talk to people Do the work to get work and make "feast and famine" history.

Build an audience before building a product!

Marketing impacts your perception of a product. It literally changes a product without having to change the product.

I’d bet founders focused on sales and marketing first will build the biggest companies over the next 5-years.

Your brand is the feeling people have when they think of you.

The best marketers in the world are curious about life and great listeners.

Stellar copy, a leading indicator of overall product quality.

"Good copy is a poor substitute for good UI. Good marketing is a poor substitute for a good product." - @naval

🗣 MARKETERS STOP PUTTING URLS IN INSTAGRAM CAPTIONS

Make no mistake, Twilio is THE new marketing cloud.

Dear founder let's be honest. It's not that you don't have time for marketing. It's that you wouldn't know what to do. So you keep working on the product and postpone it.

The best marketing doesn’t feel like marketing.

If your pricing page on your website says, "contact us for pricing!" - consider me lost as a customer lol.

Had a customer try to squeeze me on pricing once. Hit me with the “or I’ll have to walk” Told him give me 10 minutes. Made him wait in the conference room. I google benefits of walking printed out some bs page. Handed it to him. Called me an asshole. Working for 2 years now.

Growth comes from doing things you don’t want to do.
