Who is your customer?(or no-nonsense growth hacking)
1) Who would be pissed if they could no longer use your product?
2) Where do they hang out?
3) What creates trust? a) referral b) “the crowd” c) an expert
4) Put high-trust experience in front of most-likely-to-be-interested people. Scale, repeat.
