Me Leo.
Me learn how to grow side projects.
Side projects like making big fire: start small, keep feeding, make it big.
Me tell you 6 free tricks to make Side Project grow big like mammoth.
- Show Off Tool to Big Crowd (Product Hunt)
You know when tribe gather, show shiny rock or good spear? That Product Hunt.
Go there, show tool. If good, many people come look.
But if big crowd too scary, try smaller crowd. Places like:
- Simplelister
- Uneed
- Microlaunch
- Betalist
Better idea? Show tool to big crowd and small crowd. More eyes, more people, more fire.
- Make Users Bring Other Users (Referrals)
You like meat, right? Imagine: you give friend meat if they bring two friends to fire. Then their friends bring more friends. Soon, big party!
Do same for idea. Give users free trial or cool thing if they bring others. Use magic tools like:
- Viral Loops
- Referral Factory
Start with 500 users. If 30% bring two friends, you get 300 more people. Then, those people bring more. Like rolling big rock downhill: it grow fast!
Morning Brew tribe did this. They give shiny prize for bringing three friends. Now they have millions in tribe.
- Tell Stories People Like (Social media content)
You know when cave boss tells story, everyone stop and listen? You need to do same with your spear.
Go where people gather, maybe on Instagram fire, Twitter cave wall, or LinkedIn hunting ground. Tell stories. Share tips. Show how tool help.
At first, tribe might not listen. But if you keep sharing, soon they gather around you like fire on cold night.
- Team Up With Other Tribes (Cross promotion)
You trade spear for pelt before, right? Do same with Side Project.
Find other tool makers. If their tool help your users, ask them to trade. You put their tool on your cave wall, they put your tool on theirs.
Best to trade with tribes your size. Big tribe not fair trade with small tribe. But if equal, both grow.
