A book by Arvid Kahl The Embedded Entrepreneur How to Build an Audience-Driven Business
Instead of building solutions looking for customers, Embedded Entrepreneurs find customers and build a solution with them. They join communities, observe, participate and take these learnings and transform them into products people need and businesses customers love.
When you begin building your business with your future audience in mind, the guesswork ends. The Audience-Driven approach of an Embedded Entrepreneur is the path to a sustainable, customer-centric business.
What's in it for you
Your practical guide to finding the right audience and building the product they need.
If you want to build an audience and monetize it, this book is for you.
Real experiences, real talk
Everything I talk about is something I learned from
building an audience and a business in public. No guesswork. No wild theories.
Just actionable
knowledge.
Experienced author
I'm an community-centric Indie Hacker with an audience of
over 65.000 founders on Twitter.
I walk the walk every day. This book is
my blueprint.
A structured approach
You don't have time to run hundreds of experiments. Follow the battle-tested multi-step guides
in the book to make the right choices.
These frameworks have been tested and validated by hundreds of founders.
Focused on Twitter
While you can use the techniques in the book on any
social media platform, the examples given are from Twitter.
Twitter is
fertile soil for building an audience-first business. Checklists included.
Self-contained chapters
Every chapter can be read out of context. You can use
The Embedded Entrepreneur as a manual at all stages of your audience-builder
journey.
Every chapter will leave you with clear and pragmatic instructions that you can apply
immediately.
Notion-based Toolkit
In addition to the book, you'll find the Embedded Entrepreneur Toolkit
(on Gumroad). It contains everything I use to examine and analyze audiences.
Hit the ground running with pre-fabricated exploration and analysis tools.
