Doing this ONE THING allowed me to build a 7 figure per year SaaS business in less than 2 years

Dear Entrepreneurs: Build Distribution Channels, Don’t Build Products

The number one reason startups fail is because they don’t succeed in getting traction.

In other words, they fail because they don’t succeed in getting enough users or customers for their product or service so that revenues could be greater than expenses. 

I know I know, duh, that’s obvious.

But, why do startups fail to get traction?

Most of the time it’s not because the product was bad or the idea didn’t solve a real problem. No, predominantly a startup doesn’t get traction because the founders don’t approach the business from a distribution first perspective. They never spend any time really figuring out how to efficiently get their product in front of their target customer. They don’t invest in building distribution channels. 

This brings me to my main point: You should spend most of your time early in your startup’s life building distribution channels, not products. 

The Mistake Everyone Makes

You are starting a company. 

The reason you are likely starting it is because you have an AWESOME idea for a new product or service that just needs to exist in the world. 

Of course, most entrepreneurs who find themselves at this point are going to spend the vast majority of their time and energy on building out their product and turning it into reality.

It makes sense why they would do this. Naturally, the new product and that thing they are creating is what they are so excited and passionate about. The product is what they are in love with. Not the question of, “How are you actually going to get people to use this product?”

So the distribution question gets ignored.

In this circumstance, the entrepreneur is so confident in their idea, and they just know that it will naturally spread like wildfire once they launch it. Why spend any time on marketing when the idea is this good?

The sad truth is that this NEVER happens, and the entrepreneurs who take this approach wind up launching their product to crickets. No one ever finds out about their amazing idea, and no one ever uses their product.

This is the mistake everyone makes. It’s the main reason why so many startups fail.

Distribution First Mentality

To win in business, I think you need to approach every new venture or startup idea from a distribution first mentality. 

It should be the question above all other questions when evaluating a new business: “How am I going to get this product or service in front of my target customers at scale?”

If you have a hard time answering this question, then your idea sucks. 

You HAVE to have a convincing, plausible, and executable distribution strategy for your product. If you do not, you are doomed to fail along with all of the other entrepreneurs who make the same mistake.

How We Built Distribution First

When starting our cryptocurrency tax software company CryptoTrader.Tax, we started with distribution first. 

From the launch of the company, we knew that it was extremely likely that one of the strongest distribution channels for this type of product would be Google Search.

We knew this because we could see that there were THOUSANDS of searches being done on Google every month for questions like, “How to report cryptocurrency on taxes”, “Crypto taxes”, “Is bitcoin taxable”, etc. We used tools like Google Keyword planner, Ahrefs, and Ubersuggest to see keyword volumes on Google. 

The distribution channel was the search engine. 

So, if we could rank highly on Google for these types of search queries, we’d likely get a consistent flow of users into our website and into our cryptocurrency tax automation app.

It’s that simple. We had an idea for an app, and we came from a distribution first angle: how can we get our app in front of our target customers?

With that question answered, we started focusing on writing high quality content discussing the tax implications of cryptocurrencies. We published this content on our blog, and then focused on getting this content ranking as high as possible in the search results (SEO) for high volume queries like “crypto taxes” and “how to report crypto on taxes”.

Before our product was even complete, we had thousands of people reading our blog content and signing up for the waitlist for an application that would automate all of their crypto tax reporting, a TurboTax-like experience for crypto investors. 

Build the Distribution Channel

The examples of wildly successful entrepreneurs who took this same approach and built out distribution channels before launching products are endless. 

One of my favorite recent examples is what The Hustle did when launching their subscription informational product Trends. The Hustle is a media company that spent years building a free tech and business newsletter that gets read by millions of people every day (now THAT is a distribution channel). Then, on the back of this distribution channel, they launched a subscription product that helps identify up-and-coming startup Trends for hopeful entrepreneurs. 

The result?

Within a year of launch, Trends is making the company tens of millions of dollars. 

This is only possible because the Hustle built their distribution first. They can now reap the benefits of owning that distribution in dozens of ways—including launching related products to their audience and making millions.

Conclusion

Spend more time thinking about how you’re going to effectively distribute your product over how you are going to build it. Better yet, build the distribution channel before the product is ever even live. Your chances of success go up exponentially.

If you want to learn about more scrappy marketing tactics that will add jet-fuel level growth to your business, you should subscribe to my email list below. 

I blog about all of my marketing tactics that I am using to build my businesses, like the time I made $13,000 by growth hacking Instagram. I then email out all of my best tactics and ideas directly to the people on my email list.

Would Appreciate Some Advice on my Affiliate Marketing Website

I've been working on my affiliate marketing site for just over 14 months now. Like most new sites it took a while to gain some traction but I managed to by pure luck pick up some large affiliates and I had made 2000$ by Febuary of this year.

However by March my affiliates had stopped using the platforms that I had referred to them and so my passive income was no longer income. To make matters worse I decided to trade said 2000$ in the crypto markets and rather promptly lost it all. (Yes I'm aware that was not very smart).

I took a break from it and started writing articles again in June with the hopes of attracting new affiliates. But I have had no luck and have made 0$ since my break.

This leads me to where I am today. Looking for advice on the passive income subreddit. I have seen a number of people on this subreddit who are big on affiliate marketing and would appreciate it if they could point me in the write direction as to what to do with my site.

I originally made the 2000$ by simply reviewing cryptocurrency exchanges and appearing in Google. However that type of article doesn't get any clicks any more due to how competitive SEO is for those keywords. They also don't convert very well once you get someone to click on your review for what ever reason. Example of this is below.

https://coinsconcise.com/ftx-review-2020-the-best-up-and-coming-exchange/

I have changed up my strategy in the past few weeks to write articles on new cryptocurrencies or what are called 'altcoins'. Within the review there is an affiliate link to the exchange where you can buy the coin mentioned. These have got a lot of engagement in terms of clicks and August and July were my best months on record. However, nobody signs up with my affiliate code. Example:

https://coinsconcise.com/polkadot-network/

I also publish news articles for the cryptocurrency space with my own custom made ads to exchanges in the sidebar. But again people skim the article and bounce.

I have began trying something different by just doing general guides like how to 'buy stocks with Bitcoin' or 'How to Buy Bitcoin in Canada' but again these don't rank on Google.

https://coinsconcise.com/how-to-buy-and-trade-stocks-with-bitcoin-3-easy-steps/

Again I would really appreciate some advice cause I'm at my wits end and contemplating whether to just move on from this endeavour.

Time travel to the past but wasn't happy about it

Today I had the weirdest dream ever, after some events with lots of chaos (I don't even know if it was the same dream or related), I suddenly found myself at home and random people that I know/knew started popping at my house, then my parents walked in and I realized that I went back 3/4 years in time, I started crying and telling them that I was trapped and wasn't supposed to be here, I gave them some events that will happen the near future in order to convince them, and I also remember advising them to buy bitcoin and start going to the gym.But all of a sudden, some sort of bomb's shockwave wiped everything (mountains, water, buildings) out but the people that I was with, then a woman appeared(can't recall if it was my mother) and told me that it's time to come back and I woke up.
I'm no dream interpreter but I felt like I'm enjoying the present moment and really loving my current life even if that specific time wasn't bad either.

How long does it take for my balance to unlock?

Your balance is unlocked after 10 confirmations (which means 10 mined blocks). A block is mined approximately every two minutes on the Monero network, so that would be around 20 minutes.

How can I prove that I sent a payment?

The fastest and most direct way is by using the ExploreMonero blockchain explorer. You will need to recover the transaction key from your wallet (complete guide for GUI / CLI).

How do I buy Monero (XMR) with Bitcoin (BTC)?

There are dozens of exchanges that trade Monero against Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Check out the list on CoinMarketCap and choose the option that suits you best.

How do I buy Monero (XMR) with fiat?

  • Kraken (USD and EUR): old-school, decent exchange. They might require your documents for verification and approval of your account.
  • LocalMonero: peer-to-peer exchange. They have pretty much everything as a payment method and they support hundreds of fiat options.

How can I quickly exchange my Monero (XMR) for Bitcoin (BTC)?

There are multiple ways to exchange your Monero for Bitcoin, but first of all, I'd like to remind you that if you really want to do your part for Monero, one of the simplest ways is to get in touch with your merchant/service provider and request for it to accept Monero directly as payment. Ask the service provider to visit the official website and our communication channels if he or she needs help with system integration.

That being said, the community has been recommending two services in particular, XMR.TO and MorphToken. These services are only recommendations and are operated by entities outside the control of the Monero Project. Be diligent.

How do I mine Monero? And other mining questions.

The correct place to ask questions and discuss the Monero mining scene is in the dedicated subreddit r/MoneroMining. That being said, you can find a list of pools and available mining software in the GetMonero.org website.


2. Wallet: CLI & GUI

Why I can't see my balance? Where is my XMR?

Before any action there are two things to check:

  1. Are you using the latest available version of the wallet? A new version is released roughly every 6 months, so make sure you're using the current release (compare the release on GetMonero.org with your wallet's version on Settings, under Debug info).
  2. Is your wallet fully synchronized? If it isn't, wait the sync to complete.

Because Monero is different from Bitcoin, wallet synchronization is not instant. The software needs to synchronize the blockchain and use your private keys to identify your transactions. Check in the lower left corner (GUI) if the wallet is synchronized.

You can't send transactions and your balance might be wrong or unavailable if the wallet is not synced with the network. So please wait.

If this is not a sufficient answer for your case and you're looking for more information, please see this answer on StackExchange.

How do I upgrade my wallet to the newest version?

This question is beautifully answered on StackExchange.

Why does it take so long to sync the wallet [for the first time]?

You have decided to use Monero's wallet and run a local node. Congratulations! You have chosen the safest and most secure option for your privacy, but unfortunately this has an initial cost. The first reason for the slowness is that you will need to download the entire blockchain, which is considerably heavy (+70 GB) and constantly growing. There are technologies being implemented in Monero to slow this growth, however it is inevitable to make this initial download to run a full node. Consider syncing to a device that has an SSD instead of an HDD, as this greatly impacts the speed of synchronization.
