Customer power-user workshop series
Run a recurring short workshop teaching advanced use cases to active customers, turning attendees into advocates who expand and refer organically.
Why this can grow a startup
Most SaaS companies stop at onboarding docs and leave advanced features undiscovered. A live workshop creates a regular touchpoint that deepens product mastery, surfaces upgrade-worthy features, and builds peer community among customers. Attendees who feel like insiders become organic advocates — creating case studies and referring others without being asked. Recorded sessions compound the value as an on-demand library.

When to use it
Use this when Communities, Referrals is relevant to 0-100, 100-1K and you can run a bounded test with a free budget.
When not to use it
Do not use it as a substitute for customer evidence, a clear owner, or a measurable stop condition. Local platform rules and market behavior still need checking.
Founder checklist
- Read reddit.com and identify what is directly supported.
