The Entrepreneurs Growth Playbook

What is this course about?

Business
Welcome to the Entrepreneurs Growth Playbook! This course is for anyone getting a business started who wants to grow to thousands of users, but lean. It's for founders of high tech companies and solo businesses alike. It's for indie hackers and bootstrappers. Why? because these are strategies and a playbook you can use and you can put into action without raising millions of dollars. This course is based on my years of learning in the startup world, the books I've read, the companies I've seen grow and fail and my own experience taking Alpe Audio to 10,000 users. It's the course I wish I had. While growing from 0-10,000 is the hardest period of a company, there's the fewest resources about it and that's because the fewest people have done it. What you'll learn: • The foundations of marketing and growth from a practical side. This will be the actual playbook you'll need to execute on. • Content marketing, social media marketing and building a web presence - do's and don'ts and tools and tips you can use to get started on the right foot. • The secrets of managing PR, building mailing lists, cold emailing, working with and finding influencers and getting users for cheap or free in places no one is looking in. • My framework for finding first customers, who you should care about and who you shouldn't. This course will come with templates and resources I've put together that you can use. Let's get started!!
