    Reddit Marketing and Tech That Changes The World with Brian Swichkow

    Our guest today is one of the few true "evil-ish" geniuses of 2020. You could say that many of his projects sound straight out of a Black Mirror Episode. Sharp. Suspenseful. Satirical.  Brian Swichkow has many exemplary successes. Such as, making a virtual clone of himself as an AI chatbot. Yes, you read that right.  Among other things, Brian has built mythosone. A non-linear note-taking tool that allows you to take notes from a "single-truth" perspective. He has even used his skills to pull off one of the most elaborate pranks on his roommate. He targeted his roommate's ads so specific; his roommate thought the NSA was following him!  This made Brian internet famous in an instant. Brian Swichkow has even done some offbeat ads that both Facebook and Reddit had to redo their ad policies in response!  In this episode, we discuss the overarching Reddit Strategy. Brian shares the best way to use Reddit to drive traffic and the best practices for posting on Reddit. We also question if companies should have a dedicated “Reddit” employee.

    How to Get New Users to Use Your SAAS Product? Atanas Nasko Terziev!

    Most companies think about how to get new users. Many will turn to acquisition to be their key to reaching success. But what companies are missing is one huge thing: activation.  You must have a product that will drive growth! Relying on viral posts, PR, or cool giveaway will not guarantee returning users.  Nasko Terziev is a growth specialist at WoodWing and a community ambassador for B2B Marketers & Founders. Nasko uses data to build activation projects that will attract and maintain users!  Nasko has worked for several startups developing some of the most top-notch activation tools. At swivle, a calculator was developed that lets people calculate how much ROI they’d get out of the tool. At Piktochart, Nasko discovered a gap in the market and helped build a tool to fill it. This helped increase eCommerce YoY revenue by 30%!  I had the pleasure of reading a pre-publication of his epic activation guide. It transformed my thinking on activation.  In today’s interview, we find out why activation is so important to a successful SaaS product. Nasko Terziev provides his insights on B2B growth marketing and some of the frameworks he uses to make it happen. We discuss user’s first “aha” moment and why it’s so important for SaaS companies to pay attention to activation.   What was your “aha” moment? Let us know!
