From $0 to $75K MRR with 0 marketing budget
Sergei Gusev recently shared his awesome story on how he went from $0 to $75,000 MRR in1.5 years with zero marketing budget.
His startup Scentbird is a subscription service that offers a 30-day supply of a designer fragrance every month for just $14.95.
Here is his exact growth hacking plan from $0 to $75,000 MRR:
1. Search on YouTube “perfume reviews” & “[competitors or substitutes] reviews.”
2. Write down all influencers in a spreadsheet.
3. Reach out to the Influencers and offer a free product. Interesting statistics here: around 30% of the influencers reply to the first email. Approximately 20%-30% replied to his second or third email. This means that 2nd-3rd follow up emails boosted conversions by 60-100%!
4. Create a unique coupon code or/and a unique link with a coupon code for each influencer to track conversions. And ask them to put your link above the fold.
5. Watch as $75,000 comes to your bank account every month. ;)
