BC BUILD AND PROMOTE STRATEGY
Saved by @nithinankam

Want to make $1,000,000 in a year?

A tangible, step-by-step roadmap ๐Ÿ‘‡

 This is exact strategy I used to take a business idea I had in October to getting a $1.2m valuation by December.

In 42 days we:

1. Had 2,400+ Sign-ups
2. Hit $28,000+ MRR
3. $1m+ Acquisition Offers

You are going to build a "Micro-SaaS" and sell it for $1m๐Ÿ’ฐ
Quick PSA ๐Ÿšจ

This thread is going to be LONG but...

I promise that if you TAKE ACTION with this info you will change your life.

I'm not some guru trying to sell you a "magic formula" - this will take hard work.

Save it, study it and share with friends.

Let's get to work โœ…
First, you need to understand the math.

This is not about making $1m in revenue or profit.

This is about EQUITY ๐Ÿ’ฐ

Here's how it works:

$15,000 Monthly Profit
x 12 Months
= $180,000 Annual Profit
x 5-6 exit multiple
= $1,000,000 Acquisition

Equity = Leverage ๐Ÿ”‘
Next, let's talk about CUSTOMERS

๐Ÿ”ฅ Customers come first, ideas come after.

Ideal Customers: PROSUMERS

Examples:
๐Ÿ‘‰ Shopify Owners
๐Ÿ‘‰ Content Creators
๐Ÿ‘‰ New Entrepreneurs
๐Ÿ‘‰ Agency Owners

They are highly motivated to succeed and willing to INVEST in their success.
Customers (Part 2)

At the CORE, prosumers want 2 things:

1. To Make More Money
2. To Get More Attention

They don't necessarily care about HOW this happens.

They want to spend money on tools, resources, etc to turn their DREAM into a REALITY.

๐Ÿ”ฅ UNDERSTAND THIS.
Now, let's talk about your idea:

The priority here is to keep it SIMPLE.

One Problem ๐Ÿ‘‰ One Solution

You don't have to build the next Facebook to make $1,000,000 โŒ

Example:

Shopify owners struggle to find influencers to promote their brand.

Idea: influencer discovery tool
Ideas (Part 2)

Your primary goal is to understand the problem a group of people is experiencing and create a TOOL to help them achieve their desired outcome.

๐Ÿ“ Point A --> ๐Ÿ“ Point B.

Here's some more tips for finding ideas ๐Ÿ‘‡
https://t.co/mMu0jWXTq8
Now that you have an idea, let's build your offer.

Prosumers have less disposable income which means they want an affordable solution to their problems.

Your goal is to create a service that you can sell for less than $100/month.

Our average subscription was ~$60/month
Offer (Part 2)

Prosumers are also less willing to "throw money away" on new things.

The easiest way to boost sign-ups is offering a free trial.

Offer 7 days for free.

๐Ÿ”ฅ REQUIRE CREDIT CARD TO START.

Fewer trial sign-ups but better conversion rates from trial to paying user.
Now it's time to build:

You are building a VEHICLE for value delivery.

Databases
Chrome Extensions
Dashboards
Automations
...you have options

Answer 1 question:

What is the simplest way to deliver value?

Here's a VEHICLE I built in 2 hours + $100 ๐Ÿ‘‡
https://t.co/NAq620m6ue
Build (Part 2)

You don't have to be a developer or pay $10,000+ to build a valuable SaaS product.

Here are a few fast & cheap ways to start:

No-Code: @webflow, @bubble, & @AdaloHQ
Templates: @codecanyon & @envato
Affordable Devs: @Upwork & @toptal

Don't overcomplicate it.
Now that you have a product, it's time for the fun part:

GROWTH ๐Ÿš€

There are so many ways to grow your business.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Twitter
๐Ÿ”ฅ Instagram
๐Ÿ”ฅ Cold Email
๐Ÿ”ฅ LinkedIn
๐Ÿ”ฅ TikTok
๐Ÿ”ฅ Reddit
๐Ÿ”ฅ Quora
๐Ÿ”ฅ Podcasts
and the list goes on....

But one strategy BEATS them all ๐Ÿ‘‡
Prosumer's are my favorite market because you can use ONE strategy to scale faster than any other.

Facebook Ads.

Your customers are CONSUMERS FIRST meaning they can be targeted on Facebook and Instagram.

Here's a full breakdown ๐Ÿ‘‡
https://t.co/sWhTUVQGkR
Growth is the lifeblood of your business.

And it's more than just acquiring users at the top of your funnel.

It's about build a GROWTH SYSTEM that helps you turn cold traffic into loyal customers.

Here is a full explanation of growth marketing ๐Ÿ‘‡
https://t.co/z89bQ2cM9T
Once you have a solid growth foundation you need to focus on RETENTION.

Keeping a customer is cheaper than finding a new one.

Lead with product value + good customer service

Whoever is going to buy your company wants to see that your customers keep paying you over time.
You can make $1,000,000 in 12 months with less than 500 active customers.

Let's review the math:

500 users x $40/month
= $20,000 Revenue
- $5,000 operating expenses
= $15,000/month profit
x 12 months
= $180,000 Annual Profit
x 5-6 exit multiple

= $1,000,000 Acquisition โœ…
A Few Pro Tips ๐Ÿ”ฅ

1โƒฃ BENEFITS > FEATURES: Sell the WHY not the HOW

2โƒฃ Focus on customer problems and your offer first, then build the solution

3โƒฃ White-Label โ‰  Big Exit - you won't get the multiple when you try to sell the business

THREAD: Meditations on marriage metaphors in Ruth

The book of Ruth is, of course, a story about a beautiful marriage. But even before the courtship and the wedding and the important genealogy at the end, we find interesting language that is strikingly reminiscent of Genesis 2:24


That important verse reads:

'Therefore a man shall leave [ื™ึทึฝืขึฒื–ึธื‘] his father and his mother and hold fast [ื•ึฐื“ึธื‘ึทึฃืง] to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.'

The verb ืขื–ื‘ can be quite strong in force. For example, Joseph leaves behind [ื•ึทื™ึทึผืขึฒื–ึนึคื‘] his garment as he flees from Pharaoh's wife's sexual advances. Countless times, Israel is depicted abandoning the LORD, for example in Judg 2:12 [ื•ึทื™ึทึผืขึทื–ึฐื‘ึžื•ึผ], and going after other gods.

Likewise, the verb ื“ื‘ืง is rather striking. Lot is mortified of disaster overtaking him [ืชึดึผื“ึฐื‘ึธึผืงึทึฅื ึดื™] as he flees from Sodom. Israel is commanded in Deut 10:20 to cling fast [ืชึดื“ึฐื‘ึธึผึ”ืง] to the LORD and serve him and swear by his name.

Together they illustrate how radical God designed marriage to be. Marriage is a real severing of family relations in order to form a new, permanent bond with another human being.

Something very similar to this takes places in Ruth's life.

1/ ๐Ÿ‘‹ Excited to share what weโ€™ve been building at https://t.co/GOQJ7LjQ2t + we are going to tweetstorm our progress every week!

Week 1 highlights: getting shortlisted for YC W2019๐Ÿคž, acquiring a premium domain๐Ÿ’ฐ, meeting Substack's @hamishmckenzie and Stripe CEO @patrickc ๐Ÿคฉ

2/ So what is Brew?

brew / bru : / to make (beer, coffee etc.) / verb: begin to develop ๐ŸŒฑ

A place for you to enjoy premium content while supporting your favorite creators. Sort of like a โ€˜Consumer-facing Patreonโ€™ cc @jackconte

(weโ€™re still working on the pitch)

3/ So, why be so transparent? Two words: launch strategy.

jk ๐Ÿ˜… a) I loooove doing something consistently for a long period of time b) limited downside and infinite upside (feedback, accountability, reach).
cc @altimor, @pmarca


4/ https://t.co/GOQJ7LjQ2t domain ๐Ÿป

It started with a cold email. Guess what? He was using BuyMeACoffee on his blog, and was excited to hear about what we're building next. Within 2w, we signed the deal at @Escrowcom's SF office. Youโ€™re a pleasure to work with @MichaelCyger!

5/ @ycombinator's invite for the in-person interview arrived that evening. Quite a day!

Thanks @patio11 for the thoughtful feedback on our YC application, and @gabhubert for your directions on positioning the product โ€” set the tone for our pitch!

IMPORTANCE, ADVANTAGES AND CHARACTERISTICS OF BHAGWAT PURAN

It was Ved Vyas who edited the eighteen thousand shlokas of Bhagwat. This book destroys all your sins. It has twelve parts which are like kalpvraksh.

In the first skandh, the importance of Vedvyas


and characters of Pandavas are described by the dialogues between Suutji and Shaunakji. Then there is the story of Parikshit.
Next there is a Brahm Narad dialogue describing the avtaar of Bhagwan. Then the characteristics of Puraan are mentioned.

It also discusses the evolution of universe.( https://t.co/2aK1AZSC79 )

Next is the portrayal of Vidur and his dialogue with Maitreyji. Then there is a mention of Creation of universe by Brahma and the preachings of Sankhya by Kapil Muni.


In the next section we find the portrayal of Sati, Dhruv, Pruthu, and the story of ancient King, Bahirshi.
In the next section we find the character of King Priyavrat and his sons, different types of loks in this universe, and description of Narak. ( https://t.co/gmDTkLktKS )


In the sixth part we find the portrayal of Ajaamil ( https://t.co/LdVSSNspa2 ), Daksh and the birth of Marudgans( https://t.co/tecNidVckj )

In the seventh section we find the story of Prahlad and the description of Varnashram dharma. This section is based on karma vaasna.

(MAJOR NOTE) The reason Manafort took over Trump's campaign in just 3 weeks despite being hired as a mere delegate counter is that ROGER STONE initiated a whisper campaign against Corey Lewandowski. That campaign started...days after Manafort returned from meeting with WikiLeaks.

2/ Stone and Manafort are longtime business partners; we'd expect Manafort to tell Stone what Assange told him, and for him to expect Stone to then pressure the campaign not only to hire him but quickly elevate him.

And who was Stone in touch with at the campaign? Trump himself.

3/ I bet you Manafort's late March emails are very interesting and that some of them are to/from his longtime business associate Roger Stone. And I bet Roger Stone's late March phone calls are very interesting and that some of them are to/from his longtime friend Donald Trump.

4/ At the end of March 2016, Trump suddenly convenes a NatSec meeting. At that meeting he directs his NatSec team to change the RNC platform in July to benefit Putin. Who later takes credit for that change?

Paul Manafort's business associate, Kremlin agent Konstantin Kilimnick.

5/ Why did Donald Trump suddenly convene a NatSec meeting 3 days after he finally hired Manafort? Why did he issue a pro-Kremlin directive at that meeting that Manafort's camp would later take credit for? What did Manafort tell Trump in the days leading up to that NatSec meeting?
