#59: The 4 growth channels that every SaaS business needs


Listen Later

In this episode, Ryan breaks down the four essential growth channels that you should be leveraging for your SaaS business: Owned, Paid, Earned, and Partnerships. He walks through each channel, explaining what they are, why they matter, and how to optimise them to fuel growth. Whether you're a startup or scaling SaaS brand, this episode gives you a clear framework for prioritising and executing your marketing strategy to unlock rapid growth.

Takeaways:

  • Owned: Content you control (LinkedIn posts, blogs, podcasts, case studies) — foundational but slow to build
  • Paid: Ads that accelerate your reach — LinkedIn, Google, Meta ads for top-of-funnel and retargeting
  • Earned: The credibility you can’t buy — reviews, referrals, case studies, testimonials
  • Partnerships: The multiplier — co-host webinars, guest posts, and create alliances for exponential lead gen
  • Balance all four channels — don’t rely on just one, or you risk stagnation
  • Evaluate and score your business on each category to identify where to improve
