SEO, Distribution and Business lessons from a bootstrapper


Key lessons & takeways from growing @microlaunchhq in 2024✨

Distribution Takeaways

  • all traffic isn't made equal
  • qualifying traffic has to be methodic
  • understanding visitor intent is key
  • efficiency > hype, yet both matter
  • build more than 1x funnel
  • mix-up sources, demographics & intents
  • non-distribution startups lack efficient ways to get exposure in 2024
  • distribution MVP is fast, operations last forever, automation helps

SEO Takeaways

  • SEO works quickly, great SEO takes time
  • programmatic SEO ≠ traffic
  • pSEO has to be done methodically
  • domain authority matters a lot in 2024

Business Takeaways

  • freemium is hard for bootstrappers
  • testimonials = proxy of authority
  • ICP = founders is not an ICP (thanks Paul Xue)
  • ideally target high-ticket clients first before building the infra for mid-tickets (advice from Alex Hormozi)
  • experiment/invest a lot

Hope you guys relate to these, let's grow products and distributions together🙏
