4 Growth Hacking Tips for Startups.

“The critical ingredient is getting off your seat and doing something. It’s as simple as that. A lot of people have ideas, but there are few who decide to do something about them now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. But today. The true entrepreneur is a doer, not a dreamer.” –Nolan Bushnell, Entrepreneur

 
As an entrepreneur, growth hacking tips are crucial to help you push your startup forward. Without further ado, let me share some tips with you that I find extremely useful.
1. Setting up.
Setting up is a significant determinant of your growth and success. In your checklist, you need to do the physical setup which more often than not, you’ll have probably considered. The second should be your online setup. That is social media accounts and most importantly, a domain name and email-at-your-business.
The domain:
According to a 2018 report by VeriSign, the domain count was at 348.7 Million Domain Name Registrations. Out of the already registered domain names, it’s likely that your perfect name is registered or someone could register it. Find out if your domain is available here, and register it today for tomorrow might be too late!
Professional company email:
VeriSign continues to elaborate that from their research, 74% would trust a company-branded email address more than a free email address. It’s as clear as day that you need to have some company branded emails. Good news is that we’ve got you covered. Your first email hosting experience doesn’t have to be frustrating. We use Spam Experts email filtering solution to protect your network from spam, viruses, ransomware and malware attacks and at the same time safeguard and prevent blacklisting.
The website:
Another survey by VeriSign reports that 84% believe a business with a website is more credible than one that only has a social media page. I totally agree. With so many con artists around, a website can help customers verify your information. With our FREE website builder, available on your cPanel, You can customize any available template into a lovely professional website.
 

“What do you need to start a business? Three simple things: know your product better than anyone, know your customer, and have a burning desire to succeed.” Dave Thomas, founder of Wendy’s.

 
2. Engage in content marketing.
Content marketing is likely to reduce your marketing budget by around 62%. Content marketing includes scheduling content that is very helpful to clients including blog posts with relevant information they might need. It helps collect a huge list of customers and builds credibility. Engaging with your customers will also help identify solutions they are looking for and how to position your brand to offer the solutions they need. The best thing a startup can do is have a content marketing plan and expert.
3. Concentrate on your product or service.
As a Startup, you will need to benchmark with the best companies to perfect your product or service. Perfect is overrated! -but striving to be perfect will have other newbies benchmarking with you. You have to outdo the best in the industry by learning how they have perfected what they do. Your product or service should always be your focus because that’s what draws clients to you.
4. Rewards
You want to bring as many clients on board as possible. The best approach is to give rewards and discounts other than starting with low prices then changing the prices later. You can give subscription discounts for a period of time or for early subscribers or orders.
