As I was browsing for some marketing resources, I found a super well-researched free report on 34 acquisition channels that have worked for 487 analyzed founders. The report was created by Darko and is available for a free download (in exchange for signing up for his list) here: Zero To Users
I have no affiliation with the guy. Just wanted to share it as I found this immensely valuable and it's quite surprising it's available for free. Now, this is primarily for online businesses and mostly SaaS I guess but it's still very useful as a general guide to different marketing channels you might have never considered before.
I don't want to give away the value from the report here so I'll only post the first ten most consistent acquisition channels without any details (in the PDF, he explains each of the 34 channels with some examples):
1. SEO (after getting results with another acquisition channel). Worked for 84 founders
2. Marketplaces & Existing Platforms. Worked for 78 founders
3. Product Hunt. Worked for 78 founders
4. Reddit. Worked for 45 founders
5. Cold email outreach. Worked for 42 founders
6. "Powered by" marketing. Worked for 42 founders
7. Hacker News. Worked for 39 founders
8. Having an existing media brand. Worked for 39 founders
9. Using your own network. Worked for 37 founders
10. Google Ads (AdWords). Worked for 31 founders
Also, I love Peter Thiel's quote Darko has on his Twitter profile:
