🧲 lead magnet of the week: “the micro-saas pivot” by duncan 🐍

duncan got 1K+ comments in <5 days with his tutorial,

essentially showing how to build mini-saas with n8n & lovable:

→ why it works

• pain-focused hook: “your business model is broken!”
• clear “before/after” transformation in the status-quo
• easy-to-understand value prop (& he delivers on it!)

→ learn from a real example
​he built a lead-gen app in 2 hours that emails prospects personalized lead lists + outreach scripts. the system now serves 50+ users, without any manual work. and you can learn to do the same (in like 10 mins)!

→ clear problem & solution (novel idea)​
most automation consultants run a service business dressed as a tech business:
instead you can 💡 “turn your automation into a micro-app”.

📚 book of the week: hacking growth by sean ellis

the og playbook for building a growth engine. relevant for smaller teams & big companies alike.

some 🔑 takeaways:

→ your product is your marketing​
before you can even begin hacking growth, you need a must-have product.
ask user: how disappointed would you be if this disappeared tomorrow?
if it's not a "very", you don't have a pain-killer product.

→ track metrics that matter​
pick a north star metric that's tied to value-delivered, or your "aha" moment:
(for example it is # of automations created for leadshark)

→ experiment, experiment, experiment.​
analyze (metrics) → ideate (hypothesis) → prioritize (impact/easiness) → test, learn, repeat. ♻️

💬 note from the author:

leadshark is inherently a growth-hacking tool.

now we’re refining the engine.
with one goal: make it easier to hack growth intentionally.

to build the system that turns engaged strangers → leads → customers (while you nap).

this is what we’re building towards.
and that’s why we’re not slowing down. 🦾
