THREAD: How to get users to use your app šŸ‘‡

Most SaaS apps lose 95% of new users within 90 days. That's insane.

They tend to lose those users during onboardingā€”when a first impression is made.

Here's how to avoid this.

 After reading this thread, you'll know how to welcome users into your product in a way that motivates them into being lifelong customers.
Here's the 80/20 on onboarding:

Start by visualizing your user's journey toward experiencing value from your productā€”this is the reason users sought you out.

Then:

ā€¢ Identify the obstacles that come up along the way
ā€¢ Address those obstacles in your onboarding flow
How to identify obstacles:

Some obstacles will be known to you. They're onboarding steps that:

ā€¢ Require a lot of work
ā€¢ Are boring

Record these.
Other obstacles are hidden. To find them, observe users using your product:

ā€¢ For SaaSĀ apps: Record users' in-app activity usingĀ Hotjar
ā€¢ For physical goods: Run a study. Watch customers use your product

User behavior reveals the NONobvious broken paths taken in onboarding
Example:

Twitter studied their users' onboarding behavior & found out that new users who don't immediately follow a few other Twitter users when they first sign up are less likely to return

So they redesigned their onboarding flow toĀ forceĀ users to choose five people to follow
Once you've identified the obstacles (tedium, friction, dead-ends), you can address them using 4 principles:

1. Educate users
2. Entice users
3. Reduce friction
4. Make onboarding productive

Actionable tactics for each šŸ‘‡
1. Educate:

Quickly show users how they can unlock the product's value

If it's not self-evident, try these:

ā€¢ Walkthrough: Point out key features
ā€¢ Video: A no-fluff, 1-min video > 15 mins of documentation reading
ā€¢ SaaS apps: Fill a dashboard w/ sample data & tips
2. Entice:

Rule of thumb: Don't ask users to do something until you've excited them about the value theyā€™ll get from it.

Ex. Want someone to download your Chrome extension? Get them hooked on your web app first. Then prompt them to download once they clearly see value
3. How to reduce friction:

Reduce:

ā€¢ Total workload: Only ask for what you need. E.g. pre fill in forms
ā€¢ Perceived complexity: Break a complex task into easy steps
ā€¢ Choice anxiety: Anything that requires users to put effort into choices should also include suggestions
4. Make it productive:

You want users to accomplish something meaningful while learning to use your product.

E.g. If you run an email app, your onboarding walkthrough could guide the user through cleaning up their inbox.

Provide a small dopamine hit so users continue to engage
A great onboarding experience delights users.

ā€¢ Always make it clear what the next step is
ā€¢ And that step must appear easy

Build momentum towards your product's value.

Because nothing is more motivatingĀ than experiencing a product's ultimate value within minutes
Recap:

ā€¢ Your onboarding should show users how to get value out of your product. Excite users and turn them into lifelong customers.
ā€¢ Find the obstacles. Address each. Aggressively reduce friction and cognitive overhead
ā€¢ Focus on being educational, enticing, and productive

Hereā€™s how to double conversion on your startupā€™s homepage.

(From rewriting over 1,000 websites.)

A thread šŸ‘‡

1/ Your "above the fold" (ATF) section is the part of your site that's immediately visible before scrolling.

When visitors see this, they decide to either keep scrolling or bounce.

In seconds, they attempt to assess:

ā€¢ What you do.
ā€¢ Whether you're a fit for them.

2/ If your ATF is confusing or uninteresting, visitors bounce.

This happens because of:

1. Weak messaging: Your product's purpose is unclear, uninteresting, or irrelevant.

2. Weak design: Your design is unprofessional or outdated.

3/ There are 3 things you can change on your ATF.

1. Header
2. Subheader
3. Design

Let's dive into each.

4/ Headers need to:

1. Identify how users get value from your product.

2. Include a hookā€”to get them to keep reading.

3. Speak directly to your customer personas.

THREAD: Read this if you're new to ads. Here's how to make each ad channel work.

E.g. Facebook, Instagram, Google, Snapchat, Pinterest.

(from our experience running ads for 400+ startups)

IMPORTANT. We're growth marketers. We believe that you should test most channels (in time). This is an 80/20 to help you prioritize which you might want to test FIRST based on your business.

2 types of ad targeting:

Behavior: Serves ads to people searching for your product. Better for conversion, but audience size is limited to ppl searching for you.

Profile: Uses social profiles/engagement to serve ads. Conversion is lower, but audience size is less restricted.

Top channels ordered by average cost/click for U.S. audiences (LinkedIn being most expensive)

1. LinkedIn
2. Twitter
3. Instagram
4. Facebook
5. Google Ads
6. Pinterest
7. Snapchat

We'll dive into each (and a few more)

LinkedIn offers uniquely granular company and employeeĀ targeting (firmographic targeting)

Clicks are expensive. Most companies won't be able to afford LinkedIn ads.

Good fit: B2B companies earningĀ *thousands* per customer.

Poor fit: anyone earning < $10,000 USD in LTV

Twitter is, by far, the fastest way to build a high-quality audience.

Why?

It's quicker to write insightful tweets than it is to produce 10min YouTube videos or 1400-word blog posts.

Here's a thread of actionable tactics from studying the fastest-growing Twitter accounts.

2/ Fast-growing accounts have two things in common:

1. They spend 30+ minutes per day sourcing and refining 1-3 daily tweets. They don't wing what they say, and they typically sit on each idea for a few days.

2. Key: They write tweets that get *retweeted.*

3/ Retweets bring followers.

We polled people to ask why they retweet. They said:

1. "Retweeting is my bookmarking system for ideas."

2. "I retweet when someone's put elegant words to my thoughts."

3. "I want my followers to know I relate to this statement."

4/ So, to get more RTs:

1. Tweet referenceable content that people will refer back to later.

2. Challenge the status quo with elegance and wit.

3. Pick a debate and argue your side with a novel take.

The most RTed tweets? *Threads with advice like this.*

5/ How to write a tweet:

ā€¢ Open with a hook: Make it counterintuitive or counter-narrative.
ā€¢ Concise body: Satisfy the craving your hook created.
ā€¢ End with a punchy zinger: Summarize implications of your finding and what it means for the reader.

We found 6 startups that are growing way faster than everyone else.

We figured out their unconventional growth tactics.

This thread walks you through how to repeat them for yourself.

1/6 Experiment with timing.

Here's a clever example:

@brooklinen "leaked" a time-bounded discount and had one of their *best* revenue days of the year.

Great startups experiment not only with copy/creative, but also framing.


2/6 Get people to FEEL the problem your startup solves.

Hereā€™s how Muzzle (notification hiding tool) uses their site to visualize the problem:

ā€¢ Shows cringey notifications
ā€¢ Makes them super vulgar
ā€¢ Points out how Muzzle puts an end to this during Zoom calls


3/6 Poach potential customers from competitors:

ā€¢ Create landing pages that compare you against them
ā€¢ Address customers' biggest objections
ā€¢ Show your product in action

Then, when people search for you versus your competitors, you'll show up on the Google results page.


4/6 Improve your attribution.

It's often unclear what drives a purchase.

So try this:

ā€¢ Add a post-purchase survey asking customers how they found you
ā€¢ Remove frictionā€”limit choices. Make it super easy to quickly select the right one

Attribution helps you double down.

THREAD: 10 significant lies you've been told about marketing:

On email marketing, ads, and referrals.

"Send a welcome email immediately after signup"

Don't. People will reflexively discard it as spam.

Instead, delay your welcome email by 15-45 mins.

The delay removesĀ theĀ subscriber's mental connection between signup ā€”> your email, bypassingĀ theĀ reflex to ignore.

More opens.

"Only highlight your best product reviews"

Imperfect reviews can generate MORE sales than 5-star ones.

When a review weighs cons versus pros yet concludesĀ theĀ product was worth purchasing anyway, people see it's authentic & REAL.

So don't bury slightly negative reviews.

"You have to send a newsletter every week"

Most newsletters shouldn't be sent weekly.

High cadences force newsletter writers to rush and publish lower quality information.

Instead, consider only sending when you truly have value to add.

"Your startup needs a great referral program"

TheĀ referral programs that grew Airbnb & Dropbox don't work for most companies.

Instead, find your *social loop*:

E.g. An eCom pet store should get dog owners to post photos of their dogs on IG w/ you tagged.

Stories of Guruvayurappan
Shri Krishna Leela

This is a beautiful story of Guruvayurappan. Once there lived in Guruvayur a poor family. Kitta, his wife & kids were struggling for their daily needs. With only a coconut tree in house, he earned a living by selling coconuts.


Kitta was from a low caste family. He was a great devotee of Guruvayurappan. Everyday before going to work he always prayed infront of a picture of Guruvayurappan in his house. His only wish was to worship at Guruvayur & have annadanam in temple. But he was not allowed there


It was Utsavam time in Guruvayur. From far behind kitta and family worshipped Guruvayurappan. Annadanam was given daily and no one was left empty stomach. Only Kitta didn't receive. That night, it was only Kitta's family who was sleeping without food. After temple nada closed


Shri Krishna, dressed himself as a Brahmin went to temple Kitchen. He packed food and went directly to kitta's house. Reaching Kitta's house, Shri Krishna told he was sent by a cook of Guruvayur temple and gave them the food he packed. Kitta and family was very happy seeing food.


When Kitta finished his food, Brahmin asked it will be better if he get a tender coconut( karikku)to drink. Kitta climbed the tree and gave all coconuts to him. After having 1 tender coconut, the Brahmin asked to bring remaining coconuts to Guruvayur temple the next day.

EVOLUTION OF CROWNS

The ancient Indian kings called a head crown as a Mukut and it would mostly constitute of a golden ornamental headgear like an oval cap with gems.

Sometimes it would also include a halo circle to show the divinity of the king

1/7


As it was considered that kings were appointment by the gods themselves. Example the kings of mewar considered themselves to be the ā€˜Diwan of eklingji')

But in most cases very few Mukut with halo effect have been found.

2/7

Samudragupta in the gupta era coin. You can see the helmet like headwear on him.

Till gupta era the solid golden head wear was used in most days of the monarch.

But since the onset of 8th century it reduced in usage and was now used only as a ceremonial headwear.

3/7


Whereas earlier the Maharaja had to wear the mukut whenever his court was in session.

Still mukut was being used prominently for ceremonial activities till recent times.

Maharaj Dahir of SindhšŸ‘‡

4/7


But as times past the style of headwear also changed.

The kings mostly wore turbans ordained with pearls and gems while rarely anyone wore a true Mukut after 16th century.

Vilwamangalam Swamiyar was passing this area after Prathista of Padmananbhaswamy Temple, he felt Devi chaitanyam and recognized as Karthyayani Devi. But Devi seeing Vilwamangalam went inside the pond. Swamy searched for Devi continously for 6 days and on 7th day Vilwamangalam


got hold of Devi's hair. Thus only Devi's head is Prathishta here. Devotees do Kozhi parathal ( offering cock) here as an offering to Karthyayani Devi.

Ancient Egypt was the most advanced civilization in the ancient world. Why was Egypt so special?

There are so many firsts in Egypt that we all know about, and that makes Egypt unique. For example, the Sumerians did not build the pyramids of Egypt.

BRAHMA VAIVARTA PURAN: IMPORTANCE AND CHARACTERISTICS.

This Puran introduces us to way of Vedas. On the request of Narad Muni Bhagwan Saavarni had preached this Puran. It is a summary of Dharma, Arth, Moksha etc.


Listening to this Puran one gets automatically attached to Vishnu and Shiva and realize that there is no difference between them. Vyasji divided this book into four parts. It has eighteen thousand shlokas. This whole book is in the form of dialogue between Suutji and Maharishi's.

The first part Brahmkhand, consists of Shrishti description. Here Shri is known as Para Brahma and description of Gokul is also mentioned, It also narrates the argument between Brahma and Narad in which both were defeated, and then Narad went to Shiva to attain more gyan.

Shivji advised him to go to Bhagwan Saavarni for this. Narad goes to Saavarni ashram to seek Knowledge and is totally amazed by the sorroundings.

Next is Prakriti khand which consists of dialogue between Narad and Saavarni where they discuss the

Importance of Shri Krishna through various stories. Then there is the discussion of Prakriti and its various hues. Listening to this gets you wealth.
Next is Ganesh Khand which describes the Punyak vrat done by Parvati ji. After this it narrates the birth of Kartikeya and Ganesh.

MAHARAANI TARARANI: THE QUEEN OF MARATHAS

Rani Tarabai was the brave daughter-in-law of Chhatrapati Shivaji and one of the greatest medieval Monarchs India ever had.
She was born in 1675 to one of the bravest commander-in-chiefs of Shivaji's Army named Hambir Rao Mohite.


Tarabai was just 8yrs old when she was married to Shivaji's younger son, Rajaram. Mughals and Marathas were constantly at war with each other. Shivaji was crowned the ruler of the Independent Maratha Swarajya in 1674 which was established by him.


However,the great leader died in 1680&the Maratha Samrajya went into a complete&total chaos.Marathas saw some very tough times ahead. In 1689,when Raigad Fort fell to the Mughal Army of over 15000,Shivaji's first wife Saibai and his elder son Sambhaji were captured&put to death.


Sambhaji's wife and son Shahu were taken prisoners to the Mughal court. During the same battle, Shivaji's second son Rajaram(Tarabai's husband) , who was the heir to the throne now, managed to escape using a disguise. He made his way to the Gingee Fort in Tamil Nadu.


Mughal General Zulfikar Khan, however, followed them to Gingee laying siege to the Gingee Fort. From 1690-1698,This was the longest siege by a Mughal Army of any Fort which stands testimony to the military and diplomatic credentials of Rani Tarabai.
