@ramlijohn Thanks, Ramli! That was the goal. Practice what we preach! :) It took us a pretty long time to get this out there as we redid all the images and made it easier for folks to navigate through the chapters with the sticky table of contents. But so happy it's finally out in the wild. :)
Had been reading about PLG since couple of months. I will definitely check your content too, thank you for making it accessible. Congrats on the launch, good luck!
Hey @producthunt! 👋
Back in 2016, I was just a Lead Gen guy working in a B2B SaaS company, trying to use white papers to get demos for our sales team.
But after a particularly bad experience sending $100,000 worth of demo leads to the sales team and not getting any conversions, I asked myself...
“Why are we selling like this?”
I looked at companies like Slack and Figma with their super simple journey from lead to customer, and I knew their approach made far more sense than the sales-led model we were using.
So after gaining executive buy-in, I helped launch a freemium product that went from 0 to100K users in less than 12 months.
This is when I knew Product-Led Growth was the future.
But what does it mean to be “product-led”? How do you know if a product-led growth strategy makes sense for your business? And most importantly, how do you execute it?
You’ll find answers to all of these questions inside this book.
In addition, I’ll also show you:
✅ How to save 3-6 months of development and hundreds of thousands of dollars by launching a free trial in 24 hours—and why you should do it.
✅ How to turn more users into customers with the simple framework I invented—that already drives brands millions in revenue.
✅ Why you can't ever stop your churn, but how you can almost wipe it out.
✅ The 4-letter decision framework that will help you nail the right free model for your business.
✅ How to stop paying customers from slipping away.
✅ The #1 thing to improve right now to maximize your customer lifetime value.
✅ And a whole lot more!
Product-Led Growth: How to Build a Product That Sells Itselfshares the frameworks, practical tips and best practices to help you transition into a product-led growth model.

I've been reading this book for a few weeks now and I have to say it's amazing. It changed completely our way of seeing and doing @customerlyio. Thanks, Wes for your great work here.
@customerlyio@wes_bush First of all we knew we had to fire our customers that do not experience the juice of Customerly.
Then we started creating everything from scratch with one single goal in mind: bring as fast and easy as possible the user to the Aha moment.
We are 6 months in rebuilding entirely our product suite and will launch soon here on PH.
I'll shoot you a message on twitter with the results we are going to get from the changes implemented :)
This is a must read for anybody that wants to switch to PLG or start with this go-to-market strategy.
There are a lot of resources, but this one I recommend. Congrats for launching on PH!
@luckyorange@sarahbondksu Thanks so much for sharing, Sarah! Had no idea you shared it with every new marketer on your team - that's awesome! Curious, what made you decide that this book needed to be a must-read for your team?
@wes_bush You've done a great job outlining all the essentials in a strong PLG strategy from acquisition, to onboarding to loyalty and how to measure success every step of the way.
@viktor_nagornyy Thanks, Viktor! We just added a CTA on the right hand bar to grab the PDF copy. Initially we didn't want folks to fill out their email to request a copy but turns out it's the easiest way to send a copy out. Whoops. It's fixed now. Let me know if you have any difficulties getting the PDF copy.
The book is great and super valuable indeed. I got the audio version on Audible some time ago and it is nice to have this as an online reference as well now. Thank you.
