Thanks for such an insightful post! This really amplifies Paul G’s post, but from a successful entrepreneur’s perspective, which is helpful.

For more on startup marketing, starting from Day 1, check out Gabriel Weinberg’s book “Traction” (no affiliation – I met him once and I’m just a fan of the book).

This is probably the most relevant and article I’ve found for our company today. Plus my name is Alex too, so, in a weird way it really spoke to me lol. Thanks for the reinforcement. In our early stages, we know what works, and we’ve built amazing relationships, but our methods simply aren’t scalable quite yet. Sometimes all it takes is a realistic reminder of the growth stage you’re in, and everything seems much easier.

Very interesting. Another vote for content marketing I guess. Love the idea about hand holding for up to 100 days. I’ve heard 30 days for a grace period after completing a project, maybe the 100 is better for a product. Great stuff, very transparent

Great Post hey, if I may ask-how do you drive traffic for a social network site for instance that isn’t content driven.

Great read Alex! I found the ‘Scrapping’ section was particularly insightful.

Love the example emails Alex – very helpful. How you are managing to block out “hundreds of hours” I have no idea, but more power to you!

Amazing post Alex. I truly believe you’ve hit the nail on the head on how to not only grow a customer base, but also grow an advocacy base. Early on, word of mouth is your best marketing tool & there’s no better mouthpiece than a satisfied customer. Best of luck!

Hi Alex!

Excellent post as always. This week, i’ve just read this essay from Paul Graham and it’s super cool to see how you guys are applying this in Groove.

I’d like to make two post requests 🙂

– I think your customer success person is Mo. I’d like to see a post about his/her job about making customers happy 🙂

– Another interesting post would be all your development stack and how evolved through time

Regards
