How does it work?
Marketing f*ckin sucks if it doesn't work!
You’ve followed youtube guru’s “foolproof” advice, throwing cash at Facebook ads like it’s a piñata. But instead of candy, you’re getting… well, nothing.
You’ve become a content machine, posting, tweeting, and hashtagging like your life depends on it. But your sales? More elusive than Bigfoot.
So you switch to TikTok, hoping to dance your way to sales, but the only thing going viral is your frustration.
You've followed all the rules, jumped through all the hoops, and yet, you're still stuck in the land of “meh.” You’re tired of playing the “maybe this will work” game. What you need is a plan that’s got the receipts—straight from real businesses that’ve been there, done that.
Before you dive into another tool or platform that changes its algorithm more often than you change your socks, remember: you’re not just selling to robots —you’re selling to actual people. Humans with feelings, dreams, and the occasional mid-afternoon craving for chocolate.
Here’s the kicker: 95% of our purchasing decisions are driven by emotion. The real WHY behind WHY PEOPLE BUY is buried deep in the squishy, unpredictable parts of the human brain. And that’s where the magic happens.
Things in marketing that don’t make sense, yet totally work:
Chocolate tastes sweeter when in a circle than in squares
Painkillers are more effective when you tell people they're more expensive
Wine tastes better when poured from a heavier bottle
An increase in pricing increases the demand - in some cases
Yes, we know, humans are wonderfully weird…
Wouldn’t it be a blast to crack the code on what makes them tick,
so you can make them smile and make bank at the same time?
So...what's the product?
Online database of 150 cognitive biases, principles & models that control our decisions:
450+ already-proven techniques you can use RIGHT AWAY to double your conversion rate
Behavioral science presented in a concise format demonstrating how you influence decisions
Every bias, principle & model presented as a sketch - because we all know well the Picture is worth a thousand words
The biggest, the best companies in the world aren't technological. They are psychological companies presented as technological ones.
This is how it looks:

What people say about us:
Elaine Puma - Digital Media Strategist
For marketers, it’s like having the keys to the kingdom. It’s all here, all the biases and behaviors that people *really* buy.
Here you’ll find real-world examples of why certain biases work and how to use them in your marketing efforts. Decoded terminology that is easy to understand and case studies for impactful results.
I'm the biggest fan of this place! I use these techniques in my work all the time. This place have something totally unique that brands need.
Alex Korotkov - CEO of PineOx.com
I consider it the best purchase in my life!
Previously I was making a b2c startup that went viral in Japan and we managed to raise $3.5M after.
But we can’t reproduce it in other countries and regions.
And right now I’m making another startup and for the first push your materials are great, you can choose from different working tactics and approaches.
The problem that I had before Kickstart Side Hustle is that you find an interesting case that you think suits you best and try to kind of replicate it.
But you can’t keep in mind other cases in your head at the moment, but with KSH it’s easier, so you can cherry pick from different approaches to building a viral machine!
Gediminas Ulbikas - Managing Director
Kickstart Side Hustle is an irreplaceable tool for Entrepreneurs and Growth Hackers and I love every part of it!
I am big fan of lists and structurized data. With KSH I don't have to remember every thing in my head.
Whenever I need some out of the box ideas - I just go through the lists. It saves time, a ton of it.
Michal goes extra mile and provides summary of most important news, ideas, methods in digital space. And the flashcards! I greatly appreciate the insights and value
Stop wasting your money, depending on costly advertising or aggressive messaging - you're not a Karen! Promote your service the way people feel it's made by their nana - full of love, exactly for them.
Build products that people fall in love with and want to get matching tattoos with them.
Are these techniques really that effective?
What's better proof than the real-life examples:
How did Poparazzi get valued at $135M in less than a week after launch?!
More Social Proof
2004, Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos attending behavioural science events
Why do some businesses take years to hit it BIG while others are making it rain in just a few months or weeks?
The biggest, the fastest-growing companies in the world aren't technological.
They are psychological companies presented as technological ones.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
Brainiac, in my opinion, is a collection of fundamental, strategic principles every founder, marketer, designer, and copywriter should be aware of. It's like with driving your car. You have to learn the principles before getting on the road.
Unicorn Warrior is a complementary product that frames these biases right into the real world. Along with the best strategies that helped companies 100X their businesses within months or weeks.
I haven't yet found a place like this one, that's why I've created it.
All the other places I've come across, offered only a fraction of useful details regarding viral case studies featured here. And most of them considered the success of the business or campaign to the sheer luck
As for the cognitive biases, I'm aware of only 1 company that provides something similar, yet different, and for 4X price.
Nope. I still consider this platform, the way it looks, works, provides as a very early stage startup.
Call it MVP if you want ;)
If you buy today yearly access, your prices will stay the same forever.
There are still people in the community that supported my project at its beginnings. They will keep paying the initial price of $15~/year forever
As for the normal prices, they will go up again a few times. As the platform expands, providing more and more value the prices will increase as well. They are still quite low at the moment. For the $12.5/month you can get 2 coffees at Starbucks
Never run out of creative marketing ideas
"Challenge the complete laziness that is marketing today"
