As promised, I've been making progress on a new Swipe Files course.

🎥 Marketing Like A Media Company delves into why marketing teams should emulate media companies and how to leverage media trade secrets for your startup at any stage.

2. Rented platforms — Leveraging social media, forums, and platforms like YouTube and Quora to build your owned platforms.
3. Borrowed platforms — How to kickstart and accelerate audience growth with guest blogging, podcasts, workshops, and influencers.

The key is that you have to think first and foremost about creating something entertaining, something of value, something that will make people want to talk and share your stuff with their friends.

Let's build that marketing engine to grow your MRR. 🤓🚀
