Here's the synopsis:
- SECTION 1: “The Hustle Stage”-- Going from 0 to 1,000 Sumo-lings. Hustling up free advertising. Bribing people with free breakfast. Getting people to sign up for AppSumo (the ghetto way). Getting a guy in Pakistan to build AppSumo for $60.
- SECTION 2: “The Puberty Stage”-- Going from 1,000 to 50,000 Sumo-lings. Getting people to sign up by giving ‘em free stuff. Doing guest posts on blogs (some worked, some totally failed). How we advertised differently than everyone else.
- SECTION 3: “NOM NOM NOM TIME STAGE!”-- Going from 50,000 to 500,000 Sumo-lings that pay money. Learning cohort analysis (betcha never heard of that). How Chief Sumo sleeps with 10 models on a pile of cash every night. A/B Testing the RIGHT things... and not wasting time testing dumb crap. Taking your own biz to Sumo-level
