What’s your take on launching on another marketplace? I was chatting with an app founder today who asked me this. My take: don’t do it unless you’ve hit a ceiling or have resources to test. Otherwise, it’s a fast track to losing focus.

Only 3% of your market is actively buying. The rest are somewhere else in the journey. Some are actively looking. Some feel the pain but aren’t searching. Some don’t even know they have a problem. The buying journey is layered. Your go-to-market strategy should reflect that.

The best products don’t try to change customer behavior. They build on it. That’s what stood out in my conversation with Tamir Or, co-founder of Dondy. From the early days, he and his co-founder Or Schreiber didn’t chase shiny ideas. They asked: Where are customers already

Who has run Black Friday discounts for their app? ⬛️ I have mixed feelings about them, both as a marketer and a customer. If a customer is already paying full price, it feels like new customers are valued more than existing ones, which can lead to frustration. And if you’ve

Planning your 2026 GTM already? Which ones are you picking from the bingo? And if you choose more than 2… We might as well start planning for 2027. PS. Inspired by Elena Verna’s growth bingo 🖤

Sidekick’s discovery algorithm is interesting. It recently recommended an app with just 2 reviews as a top-3 app in a competitive category. 🤔 Does a strong App Store presence matter less now? Curious to hear your take.

Growth playbooks don’t really work the same way for Shopify apps. And let’s be honest… most generic marketing advice doesn’t help much either. And if you're trying to copy what giants like Klaviyo or Judge.me are doing when you’re still early in scaling, that

When it comes to hiring a fractional GTM lead, timing matters more than most people think. I’ve been doing fractional work for a bit over a year now, and after talking with dozens of SaaS teams and working with a bunch, patterns keep showing up. The first moment it tends to
