The last few months have been solid.

Solid growth...

Both from bCast (podcast hosting SaaS) and Fame (podcast hosting agency).

Here are the stats:

Nov 18, 2020:

• bCast $250 MRR
• Fame $14k MRR

Jan 10, 2020:

• bCast $400 MRR
• Fame $20k MRR

Slow but steady progress…

In this podcast episode I share:

• More details on why I think these numbers are going up
• The top three focuses for each business in 2021
• What I think I need to do in 2021 in order to hit our revenue goals

Enjoy!

I used to be Head Of Marketing at a B2B SaaS...

I remember sipping my black coffee early one gloomy afternoon in London, exhuasted from an active morning of meetings... just refreshing my email.

And something pops up... that initially I coudn't understand.

It was like no cold email I had ever seen before... and it had came from Geoff Atkinson of Huckabuy.

I won't go into the details here as Geoff does a better job of that in the full episode.

What I will say is that it will blow your mind...

We then go on to discuss:

• Other cold email strategies
• How Huckbuy are currently getting customers
• Why Geoff thinks that SEO should be a crucial part of your growth plan

Enjoy and of course... check out:

• Huckabuy
• Geoff On Linkedin

After our previous episode, Sujan causally mentioned that he would love to talk further about growing bCast...

I jumped at the chance and asked Sujan if he would be happy to record them: he was.

We didn't speak about it again until we jumped on another call to record... I think Sujan did approx. 5 minutes of research before. He then proceeded to brain dump 4 MASSIVE growth strategies for bCast:

•  Focus on features that help existing customers GROW
•  10x SEO volume
•  Pure backlink hustle
•  Get to know the influences

We could have gone on for another 30 minutes, but we only had 30 minutes to record.

Each of these have been put into practice since we recorded approx. a week ago and I will update you with how we do right here on this blog. We may even bring Sujan back on in 6-12 months to debrief on progress.

Check out:

• Sujan's blog
• Sujan's Twitter
• Mailshake

Also... thanks for reading/listening and of course... if you jump over to Apple and leave a review... always, if you can leave a review I will get you and your business a shout out on the show!

Sujan Patel is on a rampage.

He’s leveraging agency cashflow and a strong personal brand built by a book downloaded 50k times into the growth of Mailshake – a monster of a sales cadence SaaS.

I HAD to understand more about Sujan’s strategy, we discussed:

• How much organic traffic Mailshake is getting (HINT: it was over 300k sessions in Sept 2020)
• How they get MASSIVE backlinks
• The benefit of AppSumo
• Why every marketer should spend time working in an agency
• Sujan’s favourite link building strategy
• Why each marketer should build a personal brand
• Mailshakes first (and final) growth strategy

Overall… the theme of the discussion was long term thinking.

“Focus on the long term, don’t try and milk the value today.”
I loved this chat so much… Sujan is going to come back on to give feedback on the bCast growth strategy live on the show this week. Can’t wait for you to hear that.

Check out:

• Sujan’s blog
• Sujan’s Twitter
• Mailshake
• How I Made $342k From an eBook Without Amazon Kindle
• How I Sold 40K+ Copies of My Ebook

AJ had a problem.

People were signing up for his Gmail SaaS product: GMass, but a big segment of them didn’t know what to do.

The hard part had been done… he had convinced people to invest their time and money into his tool. They just got lost after sign up.

So what did he do?

Built what I believe to be one of the smoothest onboarding flows in the history of SaaS.

He takes the users through the process of building a mail merge in their Gmail inbox… and then actually sends it to test email addresses.

His users now understand what they need to do AND more importantly, have the belief that they can do it (as they were just guided through the process).

They can also now see the value of the tool as the evidence is left right there in their inbox.

I first wrote about this here approximately a year ago… and just had to bring Ajay on to the show to learn more about:

• Why he built this flow
• The impact this flow had
• How GMass has grown to over $130k MRR

Anyway… thanks for reading/listening and as always, if you can leave a review for the podcast on Apple I will get you and your business a shout out on the show!
