Today, we're looking into a strategy that's helping scrappy startups punch way above their weight class. 🥊
The Hack: Video Repurposing on Steroids
Picture this: You're a solo founder, trying to juggle both marketing and building a product. You're creating content, but it's not moving the needle fast enough.
Sound familiar?
That was Sarah, a fintech founder in our network, until she stumbled upon a growth hack that's too good not to share.
The Growth Hacking Tool: ArticleX
Sarah discovered ArticleX, an AI tool that turns audio/video content into SEO-optimized articles.
Here was her killer strategy:
Record podcast interviews with industry experts (minimal prep, maximum value).
Feed the audio into ArticleX.
Polish the AI-generated articles based on the interviews.
Pitch these articles to top-tier publications in the fintech space.
The Results? Absolutely Killer
In just 90 days:
5 articles published in major fintech outlets
Website traffic: ⬆️ 400%
Podcast listeners: ⬆️ 250%
2 game-changing partnerships landed
All this with no content team and a shoestring budget.
Now that's what we call a KillerStartup move.
