Hey GH!
Last April, I began working with Decibite, an early-stage web hosting startup. There's a lot of challenges growing from idea to scale, so I wanted to share my approach to early-stage product marketing for those with less than 1000 customers.
After reading the work of ad executive Rosser Reeves (known for his work with M&Ms, Anacin, and Colgate), I wanted to test his theory on the power of a unique selling proposition (USP). The results were positive. In 6 months, Decibite's annualized revenue went up 127%, monthly traffic up 241%, and organic traffic 331%. In this article I am sharing everything I did to grow Decibite step-by-step. My goal is to give you a do-it-yourself manual of sorts as I know early-stage marketing can be a challenge.
I'd love to hear your feedback (pricing strategy, positioning, go-to-market strategy, etc) and personal experiences when it comes to launching a product. I'm eager to learn from others who've had success getting traction early on. :)

I like the way you broke this down for us. Very methodical which makes it easy to follow along.

Another great read, Jason. I especially like how you highlighted the importance of crafting a value proposition. It seems obvious, but is rarely done with purpose or strategy.
Jason Quey
Agreed.
There's very little info out there what it takes to create a strong value prop (much less a USP). To make it worse, bloggers often conflate the two.
Learning the process to create a USP was a major "ah-ha" moment.
