ABOUT ZERO2ONE
A home for people who can build — and now need users.
Most new products don't fail because they're badly built. They fail because nobody hears about them. The advice that exists is scattered across ten-year-old blog posts, podcast episodes and Twitter threads — and most of it skips the part where you actually do the thing.
Zero2One collects every proven way to market a new product, sorts it by where you are (before you build, while you build, after launch), and shows exactly how real companies did it — with sources, steps and templates you can copy today. It's free, and you don't need an account to read it.

METHODOLOGY
How we research a playbook.
Step 1
Start from the source
We build each playbook from what founders and companies published themselves — their blog posts, talks, interviews, public dashboards — and from reporting that quotes them. Marketing-blog summaries are a lead, never a citation.
Step 2
Cite every number
Every result in a playbook has a numbered source you can open. When a figure is the founder's own claim, we say "founder-reported". When sources disagree, we use the conservative number and say why.
Step 3
Turn it into steps you can copy
A case study is only useful if you can repeat it. Each step is anchored to a company that did it, with the tools and the effort it takes. Mock-ups are labelled as illustrations; paraphrased quotes are labelled too.
Step 4
Review, date and correct
Each playbook shows when it was last reviewed. When we change a fact, the change is logged on the page with its date — we don't quietly edit history.
Votes in the library decide which playbooks we update first and which new tactics we add next.
EDITORIAL STANDARDS
What we promise.
- No paid placements
- Companies can't pay to appear in a playbook or the showcase, and we don't use affiliate links in playbooks.
- Real numbers about ourselves
- Vote counts start at zero and move only when a signed-in member votes, one vote per person. We don't display ratings, testimonials or user counts we can't back up.
- A showcase reviewed by people
- Every submitted product is checked by hand before it's listed. Results there are self-reported by founders, and labelled that way.
- Logos identify, they don't endorse
- Company names and logos belong to their owners. We show them to identify who we're writing about — it doesn't mean they endorse Zero2One.
