How should i growth hack my day old website

#1

Post by Allysquad »

I have an idea for a website (wow how original)

I won't link it just yet as there is genuinely nothing to like to.

I want to obviously focus on content before looks just now and it's just going to be a lad bible / entertainment based website.

I have 0 money to inject into the project but I do have some time and a few friends to help me get by.

What would your top tips be for helping grow this website ?

I'm considering a youtube channel for a weekly summary of events and possibly a weekly podcast for commuters.

It's semi news/semi lols/ semi academic entertainment.

Thanks for any and every reply !

Focus on creating quality content that will make people come back and share with others. Sorry but it takes hard work, not a quick "growth hack."

If it's going to be a "lad bible", I think quality content is probably less important than outrageous headlines and spamming social media...

I want it to become the lad bible we can all enjoy instead of hate on haha :) quality content > headlines and spam.

I've managed to gather 3 or 4 content volunteers throughout the day so i'm feeling as if the site has tripled in size (atleast in my head it has)
