MenuWhat is best way to get my clarity profile going?
It seems like it is very difficult to build up your network in Clarity. I actually thought I may be doing something wrong. Any advice from anyone?
Answers
Hi there, I know this can be a frustrating problem.. I've been on Clarity since 2012 when its creator, Dan Martell, invited me and several others to the launch event and asked us to sign up as experts.
For the first few years, I had hardly any calls. Also, it seemed like only those in the IT startup space were getting any traction. This was frustrating for a small business advisor like me who mostly works in the world of bricks and mortar.
Things started to change for me after a few key things:
1. I started to drive my own 'tribe' to call me on Clarity. This increased my reviews and call stats on the platform and I believe this made my profile more attractive to Clarity 'native' traffic.
2. Clarity has been growing its reach. I'm meeting more and more callers who are not in the 'online startup' space who found me on Clarity.
3. More and more of the 'online startup' people are actually creating real businesses and have real business problems that I can help with... meaning they're actually having sales, organizational problems, partner concerns, etc.. not just chasing Angel Investors with their ideas.
4. I started to regularly check for public questions I could answer and I know this has led to several calls.
I hope this helps, If you'd like me to review your Clarity profile and give some specific direct feedback, just arrange a call.
Thanks

Go through a few questions each day + answer at least one each day.
Having the same issue, my current approach is try to answer at least one question a day, essentially trying to make it a game of time.
Being an expert, I keep my profile going by answering as many questions as possible I can. By answering the questions, I learn and communicate that learning to clients on clarity. Till date my answers have been on the top 10 times on Clarity Weekly Digest and many people upvoted my answers. It is been only been 5 months and the love and support I have received is overwhelming. This love encourages me to help more and more people out of their problems. So My advice is keep answering questions.
Besides if you do have any questions give me a call: https://clarity.fm/joy-brotonath

How has Uber grown so fast?
Obviously, they do the fundamentals well. Good brand. Good experience. Good word of mouth. Good PR. Etc. Etc. But after my interview with Ryan Graves, the head of Global Operations at Uber (https://www.growthhacker.tv/ryan-graves), it became clear that they are operationally advanced and this is a huge part of their success. I'll explain. Uber isn't just a single startup, it's essentially dozens of startups rolled into one because every time they enter a new city they have to establish themselves from essentially nothing (except whatever brand equity has reached the city ahead of them). This means finding/training drivers, marketing to consumers, and building out local staff to manage operations for that city. This is where Ryan Graves comes in. He has a protocol of everything that must be done, and in what order, and by who, to ensure the best chance of success in a new city. So how has Uber grown so fast? Essentially, they figured out how to grow in one locale and were relentless about refining their launch process to recreate that initial success over and over in new cities. No plan works for every city, and they've had to adapt in many situations, but it is still a driving factor for their success.BT

Who are the top 5 thought leaders on scaling companies?
Nichole's list is comprised of people who talk about growth marketing. Although growth marketing is a component of scaling-up, scaling a company is much more about operational issues. Everything from tech stack to culture to legal and compliance and almost always sales. On growth, there are a lot of people who talk about the principles of growth from a marketing perspective and a couple of people on Nichole's list are known for *talking* about growth but I'm generally wary of people who are more known for *talking* than actual notable accomplishments in growing products. Ivan Kirigin (formerly on Dropbox's growth team, now running a company I invested in called YesGraph), Gustaf Alstromer (AirBnb growth team), Elliot Shmukler (helped LinkedIn grow from 20m to 200m members, now in-charge of growth at Wealthfront who has been absolutely killing it), Drew Dillon (an early PM at Yammer, now Head of Product at AnyPerks), are all active on Twitter. Actually Elliot isn't but you can still search quotes he's made about growth via Twitter using his name. If you have more specific questions, am happy to try and point you to the right resources.TW

How do I come up with a unique value proposition (UVP) strategy, when my website has similar services as my competitors?
Hey there; I've helped quite a few tech startups (mostly in travel & SaaS) nail down their value propositions, especially as it relates to copywriting & conversions. Just a guess, but could it be that you're focusing too much on differentiating based on your website's "features" or what it does? If the core of what you offer isn't all that unique, try looking at other ways to differentiate. For example: - customer service (Zappos) - world view or business POV (Tom's one-for-one strategy) - personality (Mailchimp) - product design - the audience you serve (niche out) - how your website is created/run Not all of these type of differentiators will be "game-changing." But if what makes your service/website unique resonates deeply with your target audience, maybe you don't have to be a "disruptor" like Uber or airbnb. Tough to say without knowing what industry you're actually in. If you want to chat, feel free to contact me. Hope this helps. DustinDW
