So you want to get beyond PLG and word of mouth and have a sustainable organic growth channel you can scale with.
But what channel do you choose? How long should you test before seeing impact? What KPIs do you choose? What contingencies do you consider?
I break down high-potential organic demand channels in 2023 and how I would approach them. Channel: Community Growth Play
Angle: Communities are a great long-tail play, and essentially there are two types, user communities, and topical communities. For demand gen, I think the play is topical communities, focusing on early experience and relationships. Note that affinity really matters for topical communities, so a group to help eCommerce brands with organizational hurdles going from 1-10m in revenue will outperform a more generic group.
Insights: The optimal price point based on Baremetrics is around $25-50/m for most horizontal communities (below $10/m tends to have very low CLTV). If you run an application-only, more exclusive mastermind-style group, obviously the price can be much higher. The idea would be to build thought leadership around a community directly tied to your Keystones. Running an alpha group with 10-50 members at a discount often works well. Use clear sub-channels (i.e. Growth (for Twitter users with 0-1k followers) or Sponsorships (for Twitter users with 50k+ followers) vs. sub-channels like “The Den” or “General Chat”). Dynamic events are key for engagement and retention (think workshops, member-only webinars, community pods, mentorship programs, hot-seat sessions etc) KPIs: Months 0-3, total user signups, community DAU/MAU, then Months 3+ community conversion to pipeline (leads, trials, paid)
Impact Timeline: Medium - Long
Contingencies: Need software (Mighty Networks and Circle most common) and team collaboration to promote community. Videographer or graphic designer is likely when building community assets, LPs etc.
________________________________________________________________ Channel: Podcast Guesting
Angle: Guesting on podcasts provides amplification around keystone beliefs and creates a long-tail growth channel. The key with podcast guesting is as a TOFU awareness play, saturation in a niche matters a lot. Aim for 20+ MINIMUM podcasts in your industry or core topical area (customer success, eCommerce growth, SaaS retention etc.)
Insights: First, use a platform that allows you to easily filter the relevant shows and gives you contact information. Pitch via email, not Linkedin. For each pitch break it down into a Hook, Body and Conclusion. In the hook focus on addressing an issue from at least one episode and provide a meaningful comment around it (DONT just say “I loved episode 6 you did with Guy Kawasaki”). The point of the hook is to show you actually watch the show and you did your homework before reaching out. Then in the body paragraph build authority and the “why you”. Focus here on the host's audience and what is valuable to them, don’t use the body to just copy and paste a promo for the person. In the conclusion offer up 2-3 specific topics, and why you have a unique perspective on them, to the host.
KPIs: Months 0-3, look at leading indicators (total recorded), Months 3+ (trials, paid, Lead Velocity Rate). Need direct attribution
Impact Timeline: Medium
Contingencies: Use a paid platform like ListenNotes or Sparktoro to get the host's contact information. Helps to have a tracking platform like Notion to monitor pitches. ________________________________________________________________
Channel: Micro-Product Lead Magnets
Angle: This year we launched a GIF signature creator at Bonjoro , which allowed users to create a GIF email signature. It took our team about a quarter to build the micro-product but we have gotten thousands of downloads and a great top-of-funnel with this. The idea was to replicate the Hubspot Website Grader angle and build something genuinely valuable for the market, that tangentially ties back to the product.
Insights: When launching a micro-product like this, immediately make sure you have a solid sense of the usecases. For example, telling users they can include a video GIF in their signature likely elicits a lot of “Okay…. So what? Why do I care?”. Instead, if you mention, “While prospecting, emails that have a video signature have a 28% higher reply rate. Send emails with the new signature for a day (takes 2 min to set up) and compare the results for yourself”, that has a lot more relevance. Distribution with something like this is key. What communities would share around this product? What niches is it most valuable to?
KPIs: Look at leads, opt-ins, LVR
Impact Timeline: Short* (Once launched you will quickly be able to see impact, but time to build micro-product is a notable consideration)
Contingencies: Product to build a genuinely useful widget, market coordinates on landing pages and promotional assets, marketing helps with distribution to user base. ________________________________________________________________
Channel: Starting a Podcast
Angle: Podcasts are flooded, but I still think there would be great reception for a novel idea/format, like a debate show or expert panel style with several guests with different opinions on an issue. I could imagine a lot of traction if you took a widely interesting top-of-funnel idea (that dovetails back to the product/keystones) and brought on say top industry experts with different opinions to respectfully flush out different approaches to topics.
Insights: Some software I recommend: Riverside for recording, Resonate for episode editing, Canva for the design of episode images or promo materials, and Buzzsprout for easy sharing of episodes to all the podcast channels. I think the big thing with starting a podcast is to think of it like a network building or even ABM play. Don’t look at starting a podcast as a short-term demand-gen lead generator. It might become that after it builds up for a year, but in the short term, it can help open partnerships and create valuable industry relationships. The other thing is, don’t do a generic 30-60 min episode where you and the host just nod along, agree about everything, and provide general inputs that people have heard a dozen times. The podcasts winning today provide unique perspectives and have unique formats.
KPIs: Months 0-6, look at leading indicators (downloads) and key relationships built (starting a podcast is a network play), Months 6+ look at leads/paid
Impact Timeline: Long
Contingencies: Video editor, graphic designer ________________________________________________________________
Channel: Ambassadors/Advisors
Angle: I think that influencers carry a lot of impact on buying decisions in the market today. At Bonjoro, at the start of 2023, we experimented with giving out 100 accounts to key influencers (we have only succeeded in giving out about 40) with no strings attached, just as a PLG/advocacy angle. So far it has driven us a few dozen accounts and seems promising. A partner manager told me that one of his clients has tried an advisor program where small amounts of stock are given to key influencers who then have skin in the game to co-promote and advocate for their software. There are a lot of ways this could look, but I think giving thought to how we can get more organic advocacy from players with trust within the market is a smart one.
Insight: Good partner motions are all about finding the right partners. It isn’t just who has a community of the right fit folks. It’s about who genuinely understands and loves your product. Who can talk about it organically in a way that feels less like a plug and instead reflects real excitement? Also, partners that have a steady inbound flow and can position your product as part of a package (think business incubators, membership communities etc.) work great as they have a continual inbound flow of new opps. Finally, successful partnership motions, from my experience, almost always start with giving, and then the reciprocity principle kicks in and from there you can create real momentum. So think about how you can give a thoughtful, personalized gift or do something meaningful for the partner as your outreach (driving someone's business is ALWAYS appreciated).
KPIs: Months 0-3 Partners secured for ambassadoadvisor role, Months 3+ leads/paid from influencers. Direct attribution is required.
Impact Timeline: Medium
Contingencies: Resources to allocate to support the program (financial, co-promotion, etc.) ________________________________________________________________
The above is just a short sampling of a few common channels you can test. The key with organic demand gen is finding the right leading indicators that give you a sense of whether continuing on is worthwhile.
Unlike conventional or old-school demand gen (think Facebook and Google Ads), where the results are apparent nearly immediately, investing in building an organic engine takes time. If you quit every channel if you don't see deal flow after a month, you likely should stick to PPC demand gen.

While researching about how to get a Fairphone 4 in my country, I saw unfortunately it only ships to Europe. Man that really sucks not for me but for the whole world tbh, this company needs a wider reach. But I found this:

It is already available worldwide, just not through Fairphone’s own webshop. You can however buy it from e.g. vireo or avocadostore which both have international shipping options. Keep in mind though that all Fairphones are optimised to work with european mobile networks, so 4G maybe won’t work where you live. You can check that on sites like willmyphonework.net (unfortunately they don’t have the FP3 on their list atm).
Apart from that I don’t know of any concrete plans from FP to officially expand their business area. However, keep in mind that this is a community forum. If you want answers from FP directly, you can #contactsupport :slight_smile:

The willmyphonework.net site still doesn't list Fairphone 3 or 4, how can I find out if it'll work in my country?
P.S. Can anyone confirm if Fairphone 4 is vegan? I saw that on abillion it says Fairphone 4 is confirmed vegan (not sure how reliable that is), and though a company member seemingly said the Fairphone 2 wasn't vegan, they said at the time that they were working on making the phone "fairer" including switching to animal-friendly (which is in turn more ethical and eco-friendly) materials in future. If not, will the Fairphone 5 be vegan?
And last question, does anyone know if/when Fairphone will launch internationally?

Sorry for the long post : Hello frens, I would like to share with you a tragicomedy. This year I cleared my Kendriya Vidyalaya TGT English exam. This was my first time appearing for this exam and since I passed I was quite excited. My rank however; wasn't too good. Still I worked hard for this interview and wanted to do my best. The venue for interview was IIT Powai, Mumbai, date 27. 05.2023. The interview process started on 24th. Those who scored good marks got called for interview earlier and they overallhad a pleasant experience. Mine was on the very last day. We were ordered to reach there by 8.30. When I reached by 7.30 there were already lots of candidates present. Kids from all over India were there, with their family and friends. Around that time we got to know that interview is being taken in two sessions, one from 8.30 to 12.30 and another from 1.00 to however long. As you can guess I got in the second session. There were no sitting arrangements made outside. It was a very humid day, the sun was burning and shades were getting narrower. I had some document related works so I went to do that. By 12.30 the first session interview wasn't yet done and almost 150 of us were waiting. By the time we could gain entry at 1.15 we were almost finished both physically and mentally. We all sat there tensed , a bit frightened I guess. There were 3 step document verification. First we had to show our documents and get it signed by a very unpleasant dude , then biometrics were done and at last another document verification crew. And I kid you not, almost 50 % students could not even attend the actual interview. Some were rejected because they didn't have 50% in individual years, some had obc certificate issue or some other reason. People left interview hall crying. It was so deeply saddening. Some of us had travelled 100s of kilometres just to try our luck. I watched some videos uploaded by candidates and learnt that there would be a 5 member board ( one subject specialist, one child psychology expert, one pedagogy expect etc), they had to do board work to show their study plan and whole interview was conducted in English since it is for English subject. Buuuuuuuuuut, our interview board consisted of two members only. They asked me nothing and I repeat, nothing about my subject or pedagogy. There was not even a blackboard or chalk or anything to test our actual teaching capabilities. The two madams only asked about my academic scoring and that too in Hindi. They weren't too happy about me getting below 60% in bachelor's. Clearly they weren't very interested in us. It was evident. We were treated like shit. I kid you not, at one point i heard the document verification guys saying. " ye bangali hain." Interview lasted for only 5 minutes and I wasn't asked a single question about my specific subject. So I come outside a bit disheartened and found out there were bigger losers than me. Lots of people crying , holding their parent's hand with empty eyes. I felt like we were called for this interview just as a formality. They selected their preferred candidates in the first two days. Overall it was a very bad experience. We were doomed from the start. I thought being a central government post it would be nicer than our state government exams but no, I was so very wrong. Being a Bengali and a muslim didn't help too much either. The employees were very very rude, didn't show a bit of sympathy for those who left empty handed or couldn't even enter the interview room. P.S. people of Mumbai were very nice to me. I think they get a bad rap sometimes. An uncle let me do some document work in his shop, offered me glue, water etc. Auto drivers weren't too bad either.

So me (24) n my partner have been trying for a baby for nearly a year and it’s getting frustrating.
This month I’ve got thicker discharge and tender breasts which I don’t usually get however when I’m about to start my period I get acne and itchiness on my chest above my left boob.
Could I still be pregnant despite getting those symptoms?
Too early for a test

When I was very young, I was riding my bike up and down my driveway when I tipped over and fell onto the road. A car was driving past and as I made contact with the ground, I could hear how close I was to having my head run over. And since that day, I refused to ride by bike, let alone get on anything with wheels unless it was a car. As I grew up, I've always been made fun of for not learning to ride a bike by my sisters but as of two years ago, I finally learned to ride a scooter.
Today, my dad wanted to take me to the nearby elementary school to teach me how to ride a bike. Since summer started, my dad, stepmom, and my younger sister have gone biking nearly everyday and my dad wanted me to join them. At first, I was a bit apprehensive to learn, but I eventually gave in. My fear of bicycles never came from seeing them, but rather sitting and riding on one. As I tried to coast and maintain balance on the bike, I began to feel anxious and it was hard for me to coast in a straight line. I tried to keep my composure and when I handed the bicycle off to my dad, I began to cry. He noticed and tried to reassured me that riding a bike wasn't difficult, and he offered the bike back to me. But I just couldn't touch the handlebars.
When I gathered myself, I told my dad in weak gasps what happened to me when I was younger. He didn't know about this, since my mom was with me and during that time, it was before my parents divorced. He told me that he was sorry for pressuring me and not to hate on him for wanting to teach me.
We went back home and I went straight to my room. Dad tried to talk to me but I wanted to be alone. It took me a bit to calm down and I'm doing okay now. I'm not mad at my dad at all for wanting to teach me, I'm more ashamed of my fear since I'm 19 and I can't enjoy the outdoors the same way my family does. I'm not sure how the rest of my family would take this- they've always been unforgiving with their nicknames and jokes about my inability and I'm unsure what to do.
Any advice would be helpful and thank you for your time.

Looking for anyone willing to suck on my 5 inch dick, prefer female, but they are rare in Reddit. Mostly near at UTA, I’m free from 12pm to 7pm. I’m 5’8”, 200 lbs, a little chubby but not big, been working out and trying to tone my body down. Can send body pic if needed. I am clean and std free, looking for the same from y’all. Dm me for more details.

I travel down to Fremont for work about once every month or so and am hoping to find a friend who wants to slut out with me while I'm in town. I'm a pretty good wingman, maybe we head out to a local bar and find some people to flirt with, maybe hook up with, and share the stories the day after. Even better, maybe we all go back and hook up together. Worst case scenario we get together ourselves and edge and orgasm the night away.
About me, 36, Indian, partnered (ENM), been told I'm pretty good looking, about 170lb, 5'7", 7" thick and uncut. I love conversations and just chatting about nearly anything. I love hearing about other people's passions and learning new things from them. I myself do a bit of woodworking, love rum, do software as most brown people, snowboarding, weights and a whole lot more. When it comes to sex, I'm more dom and you can see some ideas I had in this post.
You, just be a normal person wanting a fun, flirty conversation who generally can respond with more than a few words and is passionate about something. Physically I'm pretty flexible, it's more a mindset/openness thing that will get me going, less body shape itself.
If you're even remotely intrigued shoot me a chat and we can at least make a new friend!

It’s my day off and I’m just heading to a quiet bar to hang out. I’m looking for someone to chat with and get to know. I’d like someone to talk to on a regular basis but I don’t mind if it’s just a short term conversation either. I’m pretty open to anything.
My hobbies are that I enjoy riding my bike on my days off, binge watching good shows (let me know if you have recommendations), road trips, anything near the water, and playing some video games from time to time.
I’m single and have been for a while. No kids and never married. I don’t really carry drama around with me. I’m not a picky person or looking for anything in particular. Feel free to message me if you want to chat.

Went to a nice small MP in brea seems to be a lmp and I got this hot Latina milf named Brenda who gave me a great ts and massage. When she flipped me over she asked if I wanted full service I of course said yes and she pulled out the Condom hopped on top of me and started to ride me like no tomorrow putting my hands on her wonderful c cup tits until I busted a fat load into her. Great first experience definitely going back

I’ve been playing ark since basically day one. But I’ve played only single player until this year. I finally decided to. I have played online on mobile and I loved it.
I join a fjordur server but keep in mind I’ve only ever played the island, Ragnarok, and the center.
I met someone who seemed really nice, and asked me questions about the game since I told him I played since almost day one. He asked me about the giga which I gave an immediate answer. Was correct. I was then asked “what’s the best map to get metal on?”. Keep in mind what maps I’ve played on and that I’ve only played single player metal was never a priority. I told him this and I said “well I guess the island because of volcano.” He said wrong, and I bet y’all can guess what he said the best map was. He said Aberration.
I told him I’ve never played abberation and he said that’s fine. He asked me what I liked doing so I said PvP. Then he asked what trikes and stegos are for which I said soaking turrets. I met their base and was very impressed since they had a full tek base and this was only day 32 on the server.
He brought me to their base after I had completely destroyed my base to join them. Then killed me, and kicked me from the tribe. He said, “I can’t believe you don’t know the best metal map, and your not using a female character because they are better at PvP”.
Like for real man. I just want a good server with people who will accept me as a player.

Content warning: food related abuse
I was reading a post on here earlier about parents using foods against you and it really got me thinking about how often Nmother used food against us kids (always the girls) as a punishment anytime she could while growing up. I will preface before sharing (venting) a couple of stories, my family was poor growing up. I knew we where poor because even thought there was always money for her and edad's booze, cigarettes and nmoms drugs the lack of money was one of her favorite things to complain. As such she never missed a chance to use food (or lack of it) as a punishment in one way or another.

• Liver and onions. Ngbrother LOVED it, me and sis hated it. Nmother in turn loved to get it as often as she could just so she could watch me and older sis struggle to eat it. So often in fact that ngbrother started to hate it until he too started to refuse to eat it. The thankfully final nail in the coffin to this punishment food? Someone outside the immediate household asked why she was wasting her money on buying something the majority family wouldn't eat anyway. Side note: Nmother and Edad both vocally hated liver and always had something else to eat before this point
  
• At one point in my preteens/early teens nmother decided we were so poor (aka we didn't have enough money for her or edad's bad habits) that we had to eat EXTREAMLY bean heavy dishes for almost 2 years. The problem? My body couldn't digest beans properly so I would end up either blocked up or had heavy diarrhea combined with being so horribly gassy the entire time that not only did I have chronic pain from it but I started getting ostracized from my peers for it. The worst part? Nmother knew the beans where the issue less than 6 months into this close to two year ordeal but absolutely refused to get me ANYTHING that would help me. Yet couldn't be half a**ed to put a portion aside for me without the beans or allow me to pick the beans out and give to my sibling who were more than happy to eat them. (If I did I'd get in trouble for "wasting" food) It got so bad that at one point even Edad started to ask NMother if I'd become allergic to dairy like she was as He somehow didn't know it was the beans until after we stopped eating beans as the main part of literally every dish and the issue finally went away on its own.
  

Last one for now as this got a lot longer and deeper than I thought it would

• At one point my older sis decided she wanted to try going vegetarian (preface vegetarian is NOT the same thing as vegan! One can have eggs & animal byproducts the other cannot) Nmother decided since sis wanted to be vegetarian then I also had to be too. (I am not mad at older sis for this) Time gets a little fuzzy around this point so I can't honestly remember if it was a solo month or multiple months but for at least the next month the only food the two of us were allowed to eat at home was plain bagged iceberg salad and cold bland tofu. No seasonings, no dressings, no cooking and absolutely NO other foods that came from the house. During this time she cooked as many meat based dishes as she could and made sure anything else that could possibly be eaten under a vegetarian diet was swimming in some sort of butter or animal by product then would loudly and very happily exclaim at meals "Oh, You can't have any of this! It's made with butter and your Vegan, so you can't have it." And variations of tease bragging "Too bad your Vegetarian and can only eat tofu and lettuce 😋!" Then show off how much she was enjoying her food. I honestly don't remember how or why this ended but wouldn't be surprised if it was due to someone asking why we where starting to get sick so often and had no energy because surprise a pack of plain tofu and bagged iceberg lettuce with maybe a few shreds of carrot every day for at least a month straight doesn't have anywhere near the nutritional value that two growing teenage girls needed. OR if it was due to me being so nutrient deprived that I finally snapped and ended up breaking into the fridge to quite literally eat every meat or meat like product I could find in it because surprise the prior mentioned foods don't have the nutritional need of two growing teenage girls.

Okay that's all for now, I'm off to go eat at a restaurant with my lil sis.

my anxiety can not keep up with the inconsistencies of my ibs-c anymore, somedays im completely pain free other days i want to crawl into a ball and die from my pain i never ever know what foods will or won’t trigger my ibs pain that is centralized mostly in my upper and lower left intestinal area and i’m sick of waking up and playing the “will i be in pain today” guessing game i’m sick of not being able to poop normally and having to lay down because i literally can’t stand up straight due to excruciating trapped gas or severe constipation and if i do have a bowel movement i feel severe pain before and after pooping in my abdomen that will literally ruin the rest of the day for me
i’m tired of missing out on life because of my pain i’m tired of being scared to eat because if it does send me into pain it’s almost immediate and more than anything i am so scared i am going to live the rest of my life like this when i am only 23, NONE of my tests scans or procedures including ct scans ultrasounds colonoscopy and endoscopy also bloodwork have helped diagnose me because they all come back normal and not even low fodmap taking fiber probiotics helps me either i want to give up on myself at this point
my doctor put me on 10 mg of amytriptiline that i have been taking consistently over the past month and so far it hasn’t helped either, how do i continue living like this? it’s torture and i’m depressed

Just wanted to start this off with a hello, since this is my first time ever doing this, i just need some answers. There's this girl i like and she is the best thing to ever happen to me, my body melts every time our eyes lock. my stomach get butterflies when she says she loves me, it's an amazing experience. The problem is, she's not my girlfriend. It's pretty much a "friends with benefits", but just a bit more than that since obviously, we say we love each other. We started off as friends at our work place, and then we dated for about a week.. that didn't work out too well clearly. After months of me being the guy bestfriend, i wanted more. I told her that i had liked her for a very long time, and it's not out of the question to say i've loved her since the day my eyes laid upon her being. she agreed that we could start something but she didn't want to get too serious. we both ended up getting attached, me especially so, but there was one thing that has always bothered me and is definitely bothering me now. she doesn't get anywhere near the level of serious with guys as she is with me, but there have been guys that are something to look out for. one guy had her attention then blocked her, and then we're in the present. this guy took her out on a date, and not only that but she lied to me about it, saying it was her friend, and then i suppose guilt overcame her because she told me the following day. i was and still am heartbroken, but i forgave her as she claims all they did was get sushi and watch a new horror movie that just came out, Evil Dead Rise i'm pretty sure it's called. i believe her since we have each others location, and she was where she said she was.. but what broke me was the fact she lied to me about it. he also asked her on a second date and she didn't say no, and that hurt too but am i in the wrong for being hurt? for not wanting her to go on that second date? am i being played? what do i do? i feel like she's the one, but i honestly don't know what to do since i technically have nothing on her, meaning i can't say anything like she's cheating because we technically aren't together. it pains me a lot, and i honestly have no clue on what to do.

I’m not sure if this is the right sub but here it goes. For those of you that suffered from PPD, how did it start? I’m 6 days PP with a c section and had a small anxiety attack this evening after my brothers family visited. It was just too much. They have a 4 month old who was screaming crying. My 2.5 year old was trying to feed new baby his bottle in my lap but it wasn’t going well. My SIL was showing me pictures of my brothers Father’s Day gift while I was trying to deal with 2.5 year old. My husband came over and retrieved 2.5 year old and to see what else he could do but was talking baseball with my brother. The damn dogs were scratching at the door. It was just too fucking much. My brother I think saw my face sinking in and scurried them out of there. The door wasn’t shut and I burst into tears. My poor son was like “it’s ok mommy” so sad and worried. I suffered with PPOCD bad with my first and it was a dark dark time so obviously my husband is very concerned. It didn’t feel like this though starting out. I kinda think there are multiple factors at play. Pain, exhaustion, normal PP hormones, and overstimulation make what happened seem like a normal reaction to me. I’ve been great and 6 days seems a little soon to be feeling any sort of PPD…? I’ve been on narcotic pain meds for a week so I’m nauseous all the time. I’m done with those. Anyway, I’m not too worried at this point but my husband is very concerned and I get it. I don’t want to be naive. Any shared experience? Or advice? Thanks in advance. Sorry this is so long.
