How This Entrepreneur Turned His Blog Into an 8-Figure Software Business with 46,000 Customers
Clay Collins, Co-Founder and CEO of Leadpages, shares the powerful insight that led to the creation of his company.

Clay Collins is Co-Founder and CEO of Leadpages, a powerful and easy-to-use software tool that allows marketers to build customized landing pages and opt-in forms to capture email addresses.

In a recent conversation on my podcast, Clay shared the story of how he took a lifestyle blog and turned it into Leadpages, which in just over three years has grown into an 8-figure SaaS business with 46,000 customers and $38 million in venture financing. In July 2016, Leadpages dipped into its venture funds to acquire Drip, a marketing automation firm.


Clay Collins, Co-Founder and CEO of Leadpages
Clay's advice for entrepreneurs? Focus first on building a "Minimum Viable Audience"--before you start to build a "Minimum Viable Product." Here are some excerpts from our conversation in which he shared some of the practical strategies you can use to start building your "Minimum Viable Audience":

From blogging to vlogging.
"I had built a pretty successful lifestyle design blog. It went from zero to 4,000 RSS subscribers in about four months. A lot of people were more interested in how I had grown an audience for my blog than they were in my actual writing, so I started teaching about marketing.

I used to write these 4,000-5,000 word blog posts on how to do different things when it comes to marketing and maybe I'd get 20 or 30 comments. Writing isn't one of these strong suits for me. I think the end product comes out pretty good, but it's an agonizing process.

At around the time I was doing this, I discovered Gary Vaynerchuck, who had a wine blog called Wine Library TV. Where it took me 3-4 days to write a 4,000-word blog post, he would take wine bottles off the shelf, taste them in front of a camera--and completely unedited and uncut--he would get millions of views.

I said 'screw it': I needed to find a way to create content that efficiently. So instead of writing these long blog posts, I would take landing pages, and I would film a video talking about how they worked, share any split test data I had on them, and show how we would deploy them in some of my clients' businesses. It would take me half an hour to produce an episode and they were so much more popular than my blog posts."

The quote that inspired Leadpages.
"Then I came across this quote by Buckminster Fuller, the designer, author, and inventor. He said something to the effect that if you want to teach someone a new skill, don't bother. Instead, create a tool that will teach them the skill through the use of it. It's one of my favorite quotes. It got me thinking about how I could create a tool that has embedded within it best practices for marketing................

"Politically correct"

Politically correct for who? Nigerians or who?

Misleading topic! What do you mean by "appropriate" names??Better you say English names of Nigerian food and not "appropriate" names!

Dakad:
In as much that I'm totally against the action of this guy, I'm still of the opinion that it's more of two young people falling in love than the abduction. Most of our adolescent girls are very naive and don't think of the consequences of their actions especially when the claim they are in love. The only criminal offence here is forceful conversion to Islam. We see this stupid action of the adolescent girls here and there. That's why I keep encouraging parents to be closer to their adolescents

Sex with an under-aged person is called statutory rape in law even if the under-aged person consents. In law an under-aged person cannot legally consent. Note that in the eyes of the law the guy is an adult while the girl is under-aged.

Hello,

Please do you have pictures?

Whats the total package? Agency fees etc

Thank you

Well, I would love to finalize my findings and personal experience in the course of job search, getting a paid employment, your grade in school and success in life in relation to Nigeria perspective par say.

Previously, I enumerated why graduates with 2.2 can be worse off an HND holder when we talk of job opportunities.

Statistically, only 4.5% of students came out with a 1st class, 33% are of 2.1(it's up to this because of graduates from private universities). Third class grades constitute about 4.5% as well while 2.2 graduates constitute the largest percentage population (around 50%) of Nigerian graduates. First of all, it is as a result of the wide margin stipulated for it (2.40-3.49).
And secondly, most students are just average, or slightly above or below average as the case may be, so most people fall into that category.

Now, to say this, for example, out of the total population of job applicants, say 100 for example, the space available is just 9, while we have 5 1stclass grade applicants, 33 2.1grade applicants and 50 2.2 grade applicants.

If a minimum of 2.2 is eligible to apply, with an equal probability of being chosen, then we are sure of three 1stclass, three 2.1, and three 2.2 graduates for the employment offer.
With my analysis above, few 1stclass are remaining, while the %number of 2.1 graduates taken is more than the %number of 2.2 taken because of 2.2. Population.

Well, my dear federal Government gave an estimate of 6.5% or there about unemployment rate ( I don't want to believe this value with the number of people I come accross)

To cut my story short, this is my final assessment.
Everybody keeps looking for opportunities may it be 2.1, 2.2 or 1st class.
A test written recently shows how even a 1st classer* is hustling for jobs(people I never believed would still be writing a job test, haven't graduated since 2011).
In conclusion,
1. The only difference between us in Nigeria is that, more opportunities are created for 2.1 and 1st class graduates to streamline the number of applicants since unemplyment rate is too high and the space(slot) available is few...

2. The more you widen your horizon, networking and skillfullness, the better for you, irrespective of grade. This is what really differentiates you for/from your grades.

3. Life is beautiful if you find at least something doing, keeping up and improving day by day...baring in mind that even a 1st class graduate is not satisfied with what he has, he keeps hustling for better opportunities.

While you are still alive, thank your Creator and kip up with opportunities(learning) #Gbam

Hi

About 4 similar threads have been opened in the past by a user called Adesiji77. Are you the same person?

Hi Adesiji

What do you stand to lose by applying and (if successful) going through the application process? What is the risk in applying?

If you are unsuccessful, then no problem! Case closed!

If successful, then you compare the offer with your present employment (I believe you work).

Life is about taking risks. IF you are successful, but can't take the risks of working in a new place since you dont have sufficient information about the place then maintain status quo and remain where you are.

I know almost nothing about the "new" Wema Bank, but from what I see on Linkedin there are people who have left banks like GTB and FCMB and joined them!

Hello Adesiji

Strange question you are asking in my honest opinion.

You say "you" are "concerned about the brand". Is your friend also concerned?

Did your friend apply to work with the bank? If he did then he must at least know something about the bank and also want to work there. I don`t understand the relevance of your "concern".

For him to go through the application process and get to the "verge" of being giving an offer then he must want to work there (irrespective of his reasons).

Just my view

@Napa the choice is yours and people should be able to take risks.

Remember that STB began in the late 90s when some investors took over a dead bank called Crystal Bank. STB later grew and a merger with UBA (at STBs terms) occurred.

The fear of the unknown and inability to take risks prevents many people to attain their full potential.
