“I like to set my own strategies and then get help from experts to improve on them and check if I'm on the right track.”
01 · The Work
Tell us about what you are currently working on.
I am a freelance nocode developer and bootstrapping a SaaS company.
After successfully implementing programmatic SEO for a scale-up company as a developer, generating 7k+ indexed pages and 18k+ monthly visits, I started SEOmatic in October 2022 to help website owners, SEO agencies and SaaS do the same without requiring the help of a developer.
It's been a year now and I'm enjoying every second of working on this side project!
02 · Before
Before you learned about GrowthMentor, how did you deal with the challenges you faced?
As I mentioned, I'm a developer so I have no prior background in Marketing.
Before GrowthMentor, I was just learning on my own and testing things. I was doing #buildinginpublic on Twitter to acquire customers but quickly realized that this can't work in the long term and won't take me far. I needed to learn Marketing from the pros.
03 · The Decision
What ultimately compelled you to sign up for GrowthMentor?
I'm a person who likes to try things and see the results, so watching video tutorials all day won't help.
I like to set my own strategies and then get help from experts to improve on them and check if I'm on the right track.
That's what I really like about GrowthMentor, having a sparring partner on specific subjects to talk to.
With GrowthMentor, I was able to execute my SEO strategy, create my first Growth Experiments roadmap, and get help from mentors along the way.
04 · Inside the Platform
What's your favorite thing about GrowthMentor?
My favorite thing about GrowthMentor is having the possibility to reach out to a specialist in a very specific domain of marketing to get help. The mentor listing is incredible!
What topics have you mostly discussed with mentors?
Mainly: SEO, Growth Marketing and Go-To-Market Strategies
05 · The Breakthrough
Is there a specific session/mentor that stands out in your mind as super helpful?
Will is definitely the most valuable mentor on the platform I had to speak to.
He helped with my SEO and how to execute the comparison/alternatives pages strategy. He shared with me his techniques to scale on this strategy and gave me real-life examples of comparison pages that he thinks are the best!
He is now one of my « recurring » mentors I try to have a call with him every quarter!
06 · The Transformation
How has GrowthMentor helped you?
I'm currently creating comparison/alternative pages for my SaaS and I'm going to try 100 Growth Experiments and monitor closely the results/metrics so let's see, maybe I can tell you in a few months the results!
In a few months, I think I went from an indiehacker with no desire to do marketing to an indiehacker who loves doing marketing and wants to grow his business!
