Growth Ladder TBD

Stage 1: Validation

0–100 users

Post daily in 20–50 niche Facebook groups + run free site giveaways. Track signups from group referrals. Low CAC via organic community shares; aim for 20–30% referral rate from happy owners posting their new sites.

Stage 2: Momentum

100–1,000 users

Partner with 10–20 micro-influencers (barbers/groomers on TikTok/IG) for shoutouts + co-created content (e.g., "How I got a pro site in minutes"). Add referral program: Free premium month per signup. Viral loop from before/after site shares.

Stage 3: Scale

1,000–10,000 users

Layer paid boosts: Targeted Facebook/Instagram ads to "barber near me" audiences + TikTok ads on grooming content. SEO content (blog posts on "best barbershop websites") + Product Hunt/Indie Hackers launch for broader reach. Network effects: Improved AI from user data + marketplace of templates.
