Here are some crazy marketing tactics that worked wonders for startups in their early days: 1.Paying People to Use the Product –PayPal gave new users $10 for signing up and $10 for referrals.This cost them millions but helped them dominate the market. 2. Tinder’s College Party Hack – The founders personally attended college parties, got students to sign up, and made it look exclusive. This created FOMO and explosive growth. 3. Dropbox’s Viral Referral Program –They offered extra storage for every successful referral, which skyrocketed their user base. 4. Reddit’s Fake Engagement Strategy – In the early days, the founders made thousands of fake accounts to post content and create the illusion of a bustling community. 5. Airbnb’s Craigslist Growth Hack –They allowed users to cross-post their Airbnb listings on , stealing traffic from a much bigger platform. Zappos’ Customer Service Magic –They focused on legendary customer service, leading to word-of-mouth marketing that built trust
