Don’t Leave 9-25% Revenue on the Table: A Proven Strategy to Smartly Scale Your Digital Products

Hey LinkedIn Fam,??

Welcome to the October edition of our newsletter! This month, we are tackling an exciting and crucial topic:? Is it possible to drive up to 25% revenue boost with scalable product??

Yes, it is possible, but not every digital product is good at scalability!??

Because scalable products don’t just grow for initial growth’s sake; they scale to create an impact in their revenue, cost, and speed to drive long-term resilience. Therefore, “only 8% agencies have succeed in scaling during their operations.”?

Wondering whether your digital product ready to scale or not? Well, the key is knowing your “why, when and how to scale your digital products.” Stay tuned to discover the point of readiness!????

Why Scale? Find Your Purpose?

Scaling haphazardly can only lead to chaos. So, firstly ask yourself: What do I hope to achieve through scaling? Whether it’s increasing market share, improving customer experience, or expanding your product line, having a clear purpose will guide your actions.??

Suppose you launch a feature that suddenly attracts tons of new users. Now, if your digital product is not scalable, you could face performance issues that frustrate customers and affect your brand reputation.??

However, it’s also vital to recognize that not every digital product need scalability. If your product serves a niche market with a stable user base, aggressive scaling might not only be unnecessary but could also dilute your business credibility. This might be the reason that over 90% of digital products successfully reach the market but fail within five years.??

That’s why finding clarity in your purpose is the core key behind successful product scalability initiatives.??

When to Scale? Find Your Right Time?

Imprint in your mind that timing is everything in a dynamic business landscape. Scale too early, and you risk overextending yourself; too late, and your competitors might steal your thunder. From our experience, here are three green flags that signal the right time to scale:?

Consistent Demand?

If your digital product has shown steady growth and a loyal customer base, it’s time to take it to the next level.?

Strong Customer Feedback?

If your users are raving about your product and asking for more, they’re signalling that the market is ready for expansion.?

Operational Readiness?

Do you have the right talent and resources in place to handle increased operations? If not, it might be worth investing in your team or technology before scaling.?

How to Scale? Find Your Guiding Light?

Now that you know why and when, it’s time to focus on how to scale strategically. For that, you need to focus on few key pillars:??

1. Put Your Spotlight on Technical Audit or Research?

Start by conducting stakeholder interviews to gather actual business requirements and define your scalability goals. This step will help you identify your bottlenecks and scaling capabilities, allowing you to focus on targeted solutions for each bottleneck. Remember, solving the right problems is the key to effective scaling!

2. Pick the Right Product Scaling Approach?

Now that you know where you’re headed, it’s time to determine whether you need horizontal scaling (adding more resources to your pool) or vertical scaling (upgrading existing resources). Each approach has its benefits, so choose the one that aligns best with your business needs.

3. Fail Fast, Learn Faster: The Agile Mindset?

As you scale, it's essential to embrace the mindset of “fail fast, learn faster.” In today’s evolving world, every scalable idea will not be a hit, and that’s perfectly okay! By encouraging your team to experiment and take calculated risks, you create an environment where learning becomes a priority. When a feature doesn’t perform as expected, view it as an opportunity to gather insights and iterate.?

So, there you have it fellow leaders! The key takeaway is that all you need to discover is the point of realization – Is your digital product truly scalable, are you doing it on right time, and in a right way.??
