Have shared some of my favourite tools & platforms for growth & marketing. I also share over 75+ tools which you can also find the link below :)
There are plenty of case studies on some of the top startups around the world, but where are all the really high quality articles? I've curated a good list of them.
There's a lot of podcasts launching left, right and centre but have curated some of the best I personally like.
Similar to podcasts, there are a lot of newsletters which have launched recently. Here's some I'm loving.
I've included 6 books I've read + have enjoyed. I'll be adding more as I go reading them or are on my list.
I love watching videos on startup topics, particularly around growth & marketing. Included some I like.
I wouldn't have been able to build all these resources on my website without Webflow, which speaks for itself. I'm telling all my clients to get on it.
I can't live without Hotjar. It's great for understanding through the recordings + heatmaps where UX + CRO improvements need to happen.
Hands down one of the best automation/workflows tools out in the market. Good chance you've used it and for very good reason.
A platform I use daily and in love with it. So much you can do and use it for marketing, business + hosting important processes & documentation. Can build live sites now too.
There's quite a few case studies out there on Canva, but hands down this is the best out of the lot. Very detailed breakdown of some of the key strategies used for their incredible growth.
Unlike Canva, from what I can find, there's not many SEMRush detailed articles out there on how they achieved growth. I have to say this article is awesome in terms of the detail.
Sumo is quite well-known in the SaaS/Growth Marketing world for producing long-form, high-quality content. This article certainly doesn't disappoint. One of the best on Hubspot's growth.
This is one of the best, incredibly detailed posts/articles you will read on SaaS Metrics.
This article not only shares great detail on metrics, cashflow, churn, P&L + much more, the visualisation + graphics make it a guide you will have bookmarked.
This resource is a bit different in terms of structure of a guide, which is much more engaging.
Useronboard.com is a site that does "UX Teardowns" of some of the best SaaS applications. Lots of great learnings from the best apps on the planet.
If you're growing a mobile app and looking for growth ideas then you'll love this resource by App Growth Labs.
It includes contributions by top marketers from the likes of Buffer, Google, Chartboost + more. Over 55 lessons and the content is really good.
Another major figure in the SaaS world + love their content is Jason Lemkin (Founder of SaaStr)
With over 390 episodes recorded (as I write this), each episode is full of amazing value with big named guests who are interviewed on the podcast.
I'm not to sure how Nathan Latka keeps up the cadence of daily episodes of his podcast "The Top".
Nathan has been someone I've only followed within the past year and have to say super impressed with his content on this podcast + all his other channels.
This podcast done strated by top SaaS entrepreneurs Hiten Shah and Steli Efti always contains awesome insights.
The episodes are typically hosted bi-weekly and shares really useful content + tips over approx. 20 minute episodes on what you should focus on when building your startup.
Every Monday, Omer Khan hosts the "SaaS Podcast" which reviews + shares the latest trends in the Saas + entrepreneurship world.
He interviews some of the very best in the industry + shares the practical steps across various topics from growth strategies, operations, industry-specific trends + much more.
Jason Calacanis (+ other expert guests) hosts one of the top podcasts in the startup world which has interviewed incredible startup guests.
I can't keep up with each of the podcasts daily, but whenever I tune into an episode with a founder I want to listen to, I'm never disappointed. Seriously good content!

Aherfs is a content machine when it comes to sharing high-valued SEO & Content Marketing articles & videos.
I've been loving the amount of emails I've been getting from them lately, especially their weekly digests by Joshua Hardwick (Head of Content). One of the best blogs + newsletters to subscribe.
I've been seriously impressed by TLDR; Marketing newsletters created by a fellow Aussie Marketer & SEO gun Sajio George.
Each day you get a summary digest of the top marketing news across various marketing channels. I alway stay up to date with news + changes. Highly recommend!
This is another favourite daily newsletter which keeps me across awesome marketing content such as growth tactics, new tools + other resources.
I'm a big fan of the structure of the newsletter digest and the quality is always high. Definitely recommend for any marketer or startup founder to subscribe.
