Social Growth Hack for mobile apps


Hi!

I will keep this short, I have just two things to share.

​

First: Indie App Accelerator Cohort 2 will open for new member enrolments next week.

The waitlist will have a chance to jump in earlier and get a discounted price and 1:1 coaching and strategy session with me at the end of the cohort.

You can join the waitlist here if you haven't already.

Waitlist bonuses will be available for 24 hours only.

​

Second: Onboarding in your Apps should highlight benefits and sell.

If you need onboarding to explain how App works, you are doing it wrong.
I just changed a bit onboarding flow it the app and added a social sharing growth hack.

Check the video for details.

​

That's all for today.

Keep shipping 🚀
