Getting to the Top: 6 Rules for Success (part 1)

1. Get Your Message Out There
Visibility is the first and most crucial step. No one will buy into your vision, product, or service if they don’t know it exists.
This is where strategic marketing, branding, and storytelling come in. Whether it’s leveraging social media, affiliate marketing, public relations, or word of mouth, you must test multiple strategies to discover what resonates most with your target audience.
This isn’t a quick fix—it’s a process of trial and error that takes time and patience. When I started, I tried everything from paid advertising to guerrilla marketing. Some worked; others didn’t.
The key is to remain constantly adaptable, evaluate results, and pivot when necessary.

2. Stay Close to Your Potential Client or Customer
For instance, when developing
TradeLocker and FunderPro, my team and I spoke with hundreds of traders to ensure our tools directly addressed their needs.This proximity to your customer fosters trust, ensures relevance, and positions you as a partner rather than just a provider.The result? Products and services that users adopt enthusiastically.

3. Keep Showing Value
Value can take many forms—reliable support, insightful guidance, or even exclusive perks.Knowing what matters most to your audience (learned from step two) allows you to tailor your value proposition effectively.
Always highlight how you’re solving their problems better or faster than anyone else.
