Nail Positioning Before You Scale
Define Your Beachhead Market
Pick a small, high-need segment where your advantage is undeniable. Interview five to ten ideal users, map pains to outcomes, and write a positioning statement. Comment with your chosen niche, and we’ll suggest sharper language for your homepage.
Craft a Sharp One-Liner
Reduce your value proposition to one crisp sentence that passes the five-second test. Use plain language, a clear outcome, and one differentiator. Share your one-liner below, and we’ll offer an honest, founder-friendly rewrite.
Run Fast Narrative Tests
Test headlines through cold emails, LinkedIn DMs, and landing page variants. Track clicks, replies, and scroll depth, not vanity likes. Post your best-performing headline to inspire others and spark a discussion about what worked.
Tell a Brand Story That Converts
Share why you built this now, then pivot quickly to your customer’s transformation. Anchor the story in evidence, not hype. If you post your draft origin story, we’ll help tighten the beats for clarity and emotion.
Tell a Brand Story That Converts
Paint the pain with sensory detail, then show the changed state with measurable outcomes. Avoid clichés and show credible constraints. Drop your ‘before and after’ pair in the comments to pressure-test its believability.
Tell a Brand Story That Converts
Use relevant case snippets, small wins, and respected partner logos only with permission. Specifics beat broad claims. Share one proof point you can publish this month, and we’ll suggest how to frame it effectively.
Content and SEO That Compound
List your customer’s jobs, pains, and questions. Turn each into a pillar page with supporting how-tos and comparisons. Consistency beats volume. Post one topic cluster idea, and we’ll reply with headline angles to test.
Content and SEO That Compound
Match content format to intent: guides for informational queries, comparisons for consideration, and case studies for decision. Keep intros short. Share one target keyword, and we’ll propose a tight outline to rank faster.
Community-Led Growth and Social Proof
Build in Public With Purpose
Share roadmaps, metrics ranges, and lessons without oversharing secrets. Celebrate user wins more than product features. If you drop your next build-in-public update topic, we’ll suggest a compelling narrative angle.
Create an Early Customer Council
Invite five power users for monthly feedback in exchange for roadmap influence and recognition. Capture quotes and outcomes. Comment if you want a simple invite script, and we’ll draft one you can copy.
Ethical Testimonials That Land
Guide customers to quantify results and describe context that makes claims believable. Include a photo or role. Share a draft testimonial, and we’ll help tighten it to emphasize outcomes without sounding exaggerated.
Scrappy Paid Acquisition Without Burn
Run tiny budget tests across two channels with three creative angles each. Measure qualified actions, not clicks. Post your first hypothesis, and we’ll suggest an ad hook and a matching visual concept.
Scrappy Paid Acquisition Without Burn
Align ad promise with landing headline and form. Reduce fields, add proof near the call to action, and keep load speed fast. Share your landing URL, and we’ll recommend one change to boost completion.
Recruit testers with a clear job-to-be-done and a success definition. Offer fast support and a public changelog. Comment if you want a beta screening form template, and we’ll share a concise version.
Tie your metric to delivered value, like weekly active usage or qualified demos booked. Make it visible to the team. Share your candidate metric, and we’ll stress-test whether it truly reflects value.
Measure What Matters and Learn Relentlessly
