Check the progress here! TIME-STAMPED SHOW NOTES: [00:27] Today’s Topic: How Developers Drive More Traffic Than Marketers [00:40] Dropbox and Facebook didn’t grow through paid ads, but through leveraging developers. [01:10] The tactics people have used in the past won’t work now. [01:20] A new tactic is to create tools. [01:32] If you give away a free tool, traffic will increase. [01:53] Tools have a cheaper cost per acquisition. [02:20] It’s called product-led growth. [02:21] Hubspot used to charge for their CRM, but they now have their own chat tool and website grader that they offer for free. [03:00] They lock people out from certain features, which is a great tactic. [03:20] Get creative. Use design and development as well. [03:58] Check out ProfitWell. [04:10] They will show you what the cost per customer is or should be. [04:33] That’s all for today! [04:38] Go here to see how many downloads the show is getting. Also rate and review to help us meet our goal of 1 Million downloads per month. Hopefully, we’ll see you at the live event in L.A.! Leave some feedback: What should we talk about next?
