Cookie-Led Growth: Find Your Cookie:

The Outside-the-Box Playbook for Growing a Software Startup

You can't out-spend the funded. So out-create them.

Every growth guide is written by someone who had a war chest. Burn millions on ads, buy a growth team, brute-force your way to scale. That's not a playbook — that's a budget. And if you're bootstrapped, it'll bury you.

Cookie-Led Growth (CLG) is the opposite. It's the discipline of finding your cookie: one weird, creative, relationship-driven growth mechanism that lands your best customers at a fraction of the cost of paid ads — and compounds. Named as a deliberate riff on Product-Led Growth, CLG is what you do when you can't buy growth and have to engineer it instead.

Justin Smith bootstrapped Contractor+ into a fast-growing software company with zero venture capital. In this book he opens the kimono — real plays, real numbers, no theory:

• The cookie box: how a Crumbl-style box of fresh-baked cookies, hand-delivered to the right doors, out-converts a $750 cold click.

• The directory hack that landed the first 1,000 users with one gloriously sneaky trick.

• Mobile-led growth: turning $3.60 installs into a ~$120 effective CAC — and the retention trap nobody warns you about.

• The four numbers (CAC, ACV, tenure, LTV) that decide whether a channel lives or dies — with the exact math on the page.

• How to build a growth machine — routing, payroll, an ambassador app — in an afternoon, with AI.

• The viral flywheel that makes your biggest customers recruit your smallest ones.

This isn't a mindset book. It's a field manual — hand-drawn diagrams, honest unit economics, and a dozen concentrated experiments you can run this week, from bootstrapped all the way to the exit.

Stop copying the funded playbook. Go find your cookie.

Through His Eyes and Hers

   

Through His Eyes and Hers

Some loves are born in the light. Others thrive in the shadows of a broken mind. Ivy Monroe is a ghost in her own life. A freelance archivist who finds safety in dusty basements and silent libraries, she has built a fortress around her heart to keep the trauma of her past at bay. But then she sees him: Brooks Sterling. From her bench in the park, he is everything she needs him to be—a savior, a soulmate, a dream she can curate from a distance. But fantasies are fragile things. When the vibrant and predatory Keira Vance begins a very public pursuit of Brooks, Ivy’s silent devotion turns into a frantic, desperate obsession. As she spirals from distant admirer to silent stalker, the walls between her imagination and reality begin to crumble. How far will Ivy go to protect a relationship that only exists in her head? And what happens when she discovers that Brooks is hiding secrets far darker than her own? Through His Eyes and Hers is a chilling psychological thriller that delves into the fractured psyche of a woman who would rather lose her mind than lose her fantasy.

ELEVEN ELEMENTS BOOK ONE HEALING WATERS

       

ELEVEN ELEMENTS BOOK ONE HEALING WATERS:

Science Fiction Thriller Suspense Novel:

What If Humanity’s Peaceful Future Already Exists—But Is About to Be Erased?
At a time when war, division, and environmental crises dominate headlines, Eleven Elements: Book One – Healing Waters imagines a radically different future—one where humanity has overcome conflict and built a peaceful global society.

Set in the 26th century, the novel follows Commander Maxilon Renner and a team of time travelers sent back 500 years to protect a manuscript believed to have shaped humanity’s future. But when the mission fails, operatives are lost, Renner suffers partial amnesia, the author disappears and the manuscript vanishes—threatening to erase their utopian world from existence.

The lost document, The Manifesto of Eleven Elements, contains ideas that ultimately guide humanity toward environmental stewardship, global cooperation, and lasting peace.
Early reviews have praised the novel’s ambitious vision and philosophical depth.

⭐Readers’ Favorite calls it “a brilliant start to an epic sci-fi saga.” (Five - 5-star Reviews)
📚 BlueInk Review describes it as “both exciting and intellectually stimulating.”
📰 Kirkus Reviews calls it “plans for a better Earth packaged as a time-travel SF thriller.”

Beyond its time-travel premise, Eleven Elements explores broader questions about humanity’s trajectory. Can civilization consciously choose cooperation over conflict? Are lasting peace and environmental balance truly impossible—or have people simply stopped imagining them?

The book is the first installment in Joshi’s planned seven-volume Eleven Elements saga, a speculative series examining how human decisions shape the long-term destiny of civilization.

For readers drawn to science fiction that combines philosophical inquiry with high-concept storytelling, Eleven Elements: Book One – Healing Waters is a thrilling sci-fi adventure that dares to imagine lasting peace.
