Help the user with acquisition channel strategy using insights from 18 guests and posts across Lenny's Podcast and Newsletter.
Adam Grenier: "The first is really understanding if there is an overlap between what the customers need is, what your company's goals are, and what the channel actually does really well."
Success requires finding the intersection between specific customer needs, your company goals, and the unique functional strengths of the platform.
Brian Balfour: "There's multiple ways that this can happen, but one of the major ways, one of the major, major ways that we always see is that this can happen when new distribution platforms emerge, because when new distribution platforms emerge, startups are usually the fastest to take advantage of them. It's slower for the incumbents to move. It gives startups this opportunity essentially to play this game."
Startups achieve escape velocity by identifying and moving into new channels, such as AI platforms, before established incumbents can react.
Camille Ricketts: "The way that you think about product market fit, you have to think about content market fit. So even though content feels like it's running adjacent to the actual product that you're putting out there, you still have to think about who is my audience? Who is the audience that I really want to have? Who is the audience that is going to be drawn to this most?"
Treat content marketing like product development by identifying and solving the core professional anxieties of your audience.
Elena Verna 3.0: "If you're starting with self-serve monetization, growth hire should be frankly first before sales. ... If you have any product-led components where product is responsible for acquisition, activation, monetization or retention, that's where growth comes in."
Your hiring order should depend on whether your growth is driven by product-led self-service or human-led sales.
Grant Lee: "You're much better doing the hard thing, which is hard to scale, finding the thousands of micro influencers that have an audience where your product maybe is actually useful. People really trust what they say. That ends up becoming this wildfire that can spread really, really fast."
Sustainable growth comes from niche creators with highly engaged audiences rather than generic scripted ads with celebrities.
Jen Abel: "If you can focus the messaging in a way that speaks to something that has a bit of shock value, or is counterintuitive, you'll get them to continue reading. So first and foremost, I usually like to open it with, which is why is this relevant for me in my role? Why are you reaching out to me?"
Effective cold outreach prioritizes a counterintuitive perspective on a specific problem over generic personalization.
Timothy Davis: "Hot take, paid is for everyone. If you look at the way each platform is doing, Google, you have to scroll pretty far down to get to an organic listing. Meta, it's almost a pay for play now."
In a pay-for-play digital landscape, performance marketing is often a requirement to maintain visibility even for established brands.
Laura Modi: "If we put the hosts first and we thought about building tools for them versus what do we need just to drive more bookings, users begets users, and that's exactly what we saw."
Sustainable growth in marketplaces is a byproduct of investing in the tools and experiences that help your suppliers succeed.
Yuriy Timen: "If I'm seeing things like that and I'm seeing that you're converting seven, like five plus percent of your free users to a paid subscriber, then there is a big opportunity to play paid and lean into paid growth loops and paid acquisition loops."
Use paid acquisition primarily for learning until your product-market fit is proven by a free-to-paid conversion rate of at least 5%.
