EdEarn × Saflow

Scaling acquisition for a multi-sided EdTech platform connecting students, tutors, experts, startups, and companies — eight distinct personas in one learning-and-earning ecosystem.

At a Glance

A snapshot of the
engagement

01 Client
EdEarn

"Learn Skills. Earn Rewards. Build Your Future." A platform where students learn-to-earn while tutors and experts monetise their skills.

02 Industry
EdTech · B2B & B2C SaaS

A two-sided marketplace plus enterprise-grade RBAC for corporate learning — competing in a category dominated by giants with deep budgets.

03 Audience
8 user personas

Students, tutors, experts, startups, companies, employees, admins, controllers — each with distinct motivations, objections, and conversion paths.

04 Engagement
Acquisition-led growth pod

Performance marketing, high-volume creative, SEO content, and lifecycle retargeting — all coordinated through one Saflow team.

The Challenge

Growing two sides
at the same time

EdTech is dominated by huge brands with enormous budgets — Byju's, Unacademy, Coursera. EdEarn's bet is a different category entirely: a marketplace where learners earn while learning, and tutors/experts monetise their skills. Telling that story in a 15-second reel — and growing supply and demand together — is the core problem.

"We're not selling a course. We're building a flywheel — and the only way it spins is if every persona finds value in their own language."

Pain Point 01
Two-sided cold start

Students need tutors to be useful. Tutors need students to make money. Acquisition has to compound on both sides at once — or the flywheel doesn't spin.

Pain Point 02
Eight personas, one budget

Each persona needs its own creative, copy, landing page, and incentive — without fragmenting spend so thin that no single audience reaches signal.

Pain Point 03
Competing against giants

Byju's, Unacademy and Coursera can outspend any new EdTech 10x. EdEarn has to win on creative agility and niche positioning — not brute-force budget.

Our Approach

Four pillars that
spin the flywheel

Two-sided marketplaces don't grow with a single tactic — they need parallel motions on supply and demand, plus a content engine that compounds organically while paid catches the urgent intent.

01
Persona-segmented funnels

Separate creative, copy, and landing pages for students, tutors, experts, and companies. Each persona meets a message that speaks to their pain — income for tutors, jobs for students, talent for companies.

02
High-velocity creative engine

Reels, statics, and short video produced at a cadence that out-tests in-house teams 4× over. We treat creative as the lever — because in EdTech, the hook is the campaign.

03
Long-tail SEO bets

"Earn while learning," skill-specific queries, freelancer income guides — content lanes where the giants under-invest and EdEarn can rank with patient, well-built clusters.

04
Lifecycle & retargeting

EdTech signups rarely convert on first touch. Multi-touch retargeting and lifecycle journeys keep cold visitors warm until the moment they're ready to enrol or onboard.

What We're Driving

The outcomes that
compound the flywheel

Both sides
at once.

Marketplaces don't survive lopsided growth. Saflow's job is to keep supply and demand expanding in sync — while the creative engine keeps CAC honest.

01
Persona-level learning
Clear signal on what creative and copy converts each user type — so every new ad ships with a known-good template, not a guess.
02
Two-sided acquisition flow
Steady inflow of both supply (tutors, experts) and demand (students, companies). The flywheel is spinning — not stuck on one side.
03
Compounding organic
Long-tail content ranks and stays ranked. Niche search queries that compound monthly — vs paid that resets every cycle.
04
Tighter unit economics
Cost per active user trending the right direction with each iteration. Saflow's creative pace makes CAC a variable we can control, not just observe.
05
Test velocity
EdEarn now tests 4× more creative angles per month than an in-house team could ship. More tests = more winners = faster scale.
06
Brand recall in the niche
EdEarn is becoming a known name in the "learn + earn" category — a beachhead that's hard for budget-rich giants to copy without diluting their own brand.
