Ever dreamed of creating a billion-dollar tech empire all on your own? It might sound like a wild fantasy, but in today’s digital landscape, it’s more feasible than you might think.

Let’s break it down.

First things first, building a successful startup boils down to two key factors — product and marketing.

Startup = Product + Marketing

Your product needs to be top-notch, solving a real problem or fulfilling a genuine need in the market. And marketing? Well, that’s where the magic happens.

I’m not gonna talk about product for now because it’s mostly a one-time thing, until you find a product-market fit. Once a product is developed, like a SaaS, then maintaining it is not that difficult (especially for a technical founder). So I’m considering that part as inherently scalable.

Products are built using code, and marketing is all about content.

From social media posts to blog articles, every piece of content you put out into the world is a potential sales opportunity. And with the right strategy, that content can work for you 24/7, reaching audiences far and wide.
