How I Used Automation to Get 500 Waiting List Subscribers & Good Places to Advertise Your Product Before Posting on PH and HN

• Your salary is your company's monthly subscription fee of you. (Tweet)
• If elevators hadn't been invented, all the CEOs and important people would have their offices on the first floor as a sign of status. And the entry-level employees would be up on the 80th floor. (Tweet)
• The night before a day off is more satisfying than the actual day off. (Tweet)
• Technically, your alarm tone is your theme song as it starts every episode. (Tweet)
• If everything goes smoothly, you probably won't remember today. (Tweet)

1. Find qualified users

The first step for me was to find high-quality users for my lightweight CRM. So I went to Product Hunt and found about 20 similar products that had launched on Product Hunt. 

2. Export users in a meaningful way

That's where PhantomBuster comes into play. Thanks to their API, I was able to scrape every single PH user profile who had upvoted a similar product to mine. Most of the users on PH link their profile to their Twitter account, that's the key part of my growth hacking strategy. Altogether, I scraped about 11k profiles.

3. Reach out to users in a constructive and non-spammy way.

3.1 Automatically like their latest tweets

This is a simple and light way of getting someone's attention and there are tons of tools that allow you to do so. My automation simply runs in the background and likes about 300 profiles per day. Since I've started this automation, the average volume of daily visits to my twitter profile has increased by 500% and the average amount of new daily followers, by 50%!
Since my Twitter profile contains a description of my product and a direct link to my sign-up page, this has significantly increased the number of sign-ups I've received.

3.2 Personally reach out to key beta users

After playing around with the CSV file and creating a few pivot tables, I was able to find a few key beta users based on the number of PH followers they had and the number of similar products they had upvoted. I then reached out personally to those.

3.3 Send out promoted tweets to all users

Twitter allows you to create custom audiences based on CSV files that contain twitter usernames. You can then target those with ads.

That's it! You've just built a lasting way to find great beta users! 🏆

“Not-to-do” lists are often more effective than to-do lists for upgrading performance.

Allison Rimm wrote that she maintains three lists of tasks in her Harvard Business Review article

1. are important, non-time-sensitive
2. need to be completed today
3. aren’t worth the time

Allison intentionally skips any item that's on list number three.
