🫧 What Ants Taught Me About Startup Growth
|
When I was a little kid, I was fascinated with ants. ​ I stared at them for hours. I would follow up on a single colony for week.s I read books about them (highly recommend Bernard Werber's books. Truly innovative) ​ Do you know how to find a colony? ​ You tap an ant. ​ It panics and runs home. ​ Back to where it's safest. ​ People are the same. ​ That's why we shout 'Mommy!' when we're scared. ​ I had an audit last week with this techie founder. ​ He was lost— Couldn't figure out how to gain more users So what does he do? Build another feature. ​ That's his safe space. Instead, he should pick up the phone (or LI DMs) and get clients the old-fashioned way, getting them talking about his product. ​ It doesn't matter if your app has 12 or 13 features if nobody's using it. Ship first. Iterate later. - Ohad PS: I'm creating a private, invite-only Whatsapp group to share tips and ideas on scaling Shopify apps. The idea is to have a community where select people can network and scale together. If this interests you, reply to this email with 'Shopify'. |

The social media gurus love coloring things black & white. “Do this!” “Don’t do that!” “Here’s the simple path to success.”...

The No Barrier Reef 🪸 Hey Reader, Writing content that connects with readers is simpler than most people think. Here's what nobody tells you about creating content that pulls in leads: Most creators overcomplicate their work. They write these long, sophisticated articles filled with industry terms. They use big words to sound smart. At best, people skim through their content. At worst, they bounce. The solution? Write like you talk. Share your stories. Be vulnerable. Talk about your failures...
