Platforms that can harness the power of network effects are the ones that don't need marketing; their consumer market spreads through word of mouth. For example (Medial, WhatsApp, Airbnb, and Uber).
A client gave 3 referrals.
I closed 2 of them.
They didn't see my website/testimonial, no negotiations (infact, upsold one client for an extra $500) - That’s the power of word of mouth.
