about this ebook

Product-led marketers might function quite differently from a traditional marketing team. A product with a viral effect markets itself almost exponentially. Each new user amplifies the product’s reach and drives awareness organically. So PLG marketing turns inward: to identify what spurs activation, usage, and conversion — and optimize these customer touchpoints. Thus PLG marketers might work on in-app messaging or tweak the strategy surrounding onboarding, helping lure back and advance the best product-qualified leads.

What we loved:

Some of the pages in this free ebook on how to become more product-led are so pretty that we wanted to print them out

What we didn't love:

The cover of the ebook mentions it’s part of a series on product-led growth, but there are no references or links to any other books.

Summary:

A large part of this free guide is theory, which we might expect from the first part of a series. There’s a pitch for switching to a product-led model followed by some attributes of product-led companies. It’s implied that the attributes are unique to product-led companies, but we’re not quite sure how. The freebie wraps with some ways to become product-led and how it affects different departments. The latter sections are the most actionable, but much like the rest of the book, are too vague and high-level to offer anything immediately actionable.
