What marketing activity has helped you to gain the most paying customers? 💵

Question

Was it? – Paid ads, – WOM, – Cold outreaching… – Or anything else? I know it strongly depends on the product, so could you please tell me: What kind of product do you have and what worked best for you? Feel free to create an ascending order (most effective activity and least effective)

In the past, with an venture capital backed project, that was a SaaS to manage collaboratively ads optimized with AI, it was clearly ads in Fb, Ig and AdWords as the better choice, followed of SEO for long term as a inbound marketing strategy, with a sales team.

Currently, in a bootstrap mode without investment, we use social (𝕏 mainly), communities like PH, SEO and now we will start with referrals/affiliates.

@rayyan_jawed1 what can I understand under the Product les growth?

Milad Ranaei · Answer

For my experience with digital products, here's the order that worked best:

1. Word of Mouth – Customers who had a great experience referred others, which brought in the most paying customers.
2. Content Marketing – Sharing valuable content that positioned the product as a solution to specific problems helped build trust.
3. Cold Outreach – Direct outreach worked, but had a lower conversion rate.
4. Paid Ads – Effective but often costly compared to organic methods.

Each method depends on the product and audience, but WOM is generally the strongest driver 🦾
