It's obvious that English is not your first language. There's plenty of grammatical errors - which are all easily correctable.

On the topic covered however, it's honestly too high level for me. The title made me think that there was going to be something like a checklist or something actionable that I could use - which was not the case. The entire post is just at a very high level - more a series of things to consider than ways to construct a startup marketing plan. And even among those things to consider, there is nothing unique in what you have said which has not already been said many times before by others.

So I think you need to think about what unique perspective you can bring when there are already so many other people blogging about the kinds of things you want to talk about (and doing it very well). One concrete way you can bring something different to the table is experiments you have tried and the results of those. That is the kind of thing that I think will build your credibility in the growth hacking/digital marketing space rather than just talking about the kinds of things everyone is saying/has already said.

I hope this feedback was constructive.

Like ASquare said, it's obvious English is not your first language. If you want to keep your readers engaged and coming back, attempt to have native english speakers proofread through your writings first before publishing. You might want to look into Grammarly.com I've never used it before, but I think it might help your particular case.
