Growth Hacking: Defining ‘Growth’
• “Growth of a business is the only thing that matters in the startup world.”
• In the entrepreneurship world, this is not always the case
– i.e. This does not mean that a Small Business Owner cannot use this process, mindset, and tools.
![Page 12: Mc4 e growth_hacking_2hr_gsew_MVPDraft1](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062823/587534581a28abe7728b5d21/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Growth Hacking: Defined
Lifehacking ≠ Growth Hacking
NOT A SET OF QUICK FIXES, MAGIC.
It is not• Whitbies Fish & Chips “What a brilliant
hack!”
![Page 13: Mc4 e growth_hacking_2hr_gsew_MVPDraft1](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062823/587534581a28abe7728b5d21/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
This is a great “hack”, but it falls way short of qualifying as “Growth Hacking”
![Page 14: Mc4 e growth_hacking_2hr_gsew_MVPDraft1](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062823/587534581a28abe7728b5d21/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

CONCEPTS
![Page 20: Mc4 e growth_hacking_2hr_gsew_MVPDraft1](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062823/587534581a28abe7728b5d21/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The Mindset – Growth Hacker Marketing by Ryan Holiday
[GH Needs More Women]
Entrepreneurial Marketing: Concepts
“Look at what everyone else is doing, and walk the other way.”
Not every saturated channel is your best fit for growth.
Find out who & where your customers are, by any means necessary, and go directly to them. Everything is testable & malleable.
Forget about gut feeling. Test all of your assumptions. The best validation is a scalable sale.
![Page 21: Mc4 e growth_hacking_2hr_gsew_MVPDraft1](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062823/587534581a28abe7728b5d21/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Entrepreneurial Marketing: Concepts
‘To do it correctly, one must spend 50% of her time on product development, and 50% of her time on Growth Hacking.’
These efforts run parallel to one another.
This is not business as usual.
![Page 22: Mc4 e growth_hacking_2hr_gsew_MVPDraft1](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062823/587534581a28abe7728b5d21/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Entrepreneurial Marketing: Choosing Channels with Traction
Today we are going to focus on prioritizing growth channels using the
Traction method and the BRASS framework.
Why?
Well, time and money of course!
![Page 27: Mc4 e growth_hacking_2hr_gsew_MVPDraft1](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062823/587534581a28abe7728b5d21/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Entrepreneurial Marketing: Choosing Channels with Traction
Also…
Traction is also a great place to start for learning
purposes!
![Page 28: Mc4 e growth_hacking_2hr_gsew_MVPDraft1](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062823/587534581a28abe7728b5d21/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Entrepreneurial Marketing: Traction & where to begin
• This book is canon for the growth hacker – buy it, seriously
[Or read my summary @ chrissparks.nl/blog]
• Book Structure:– 1 Chapter summarizing growth channels– 4 Chapters practical processes– 19 Chapters in-depth describing growth
channels
![Page 29: Mc4 e growth_hacking_2hr_gsew_MVPDraft1](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062823/587534581a28abe7728b5d21/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Traction: Defined
Traction = Growth = Quantitative Demand Indicators
• Rigorous , scientific testing process & exploitation of multiple (3-4) channels
Replaces that ‘gut feeling’ with science!!!
• Testable, track-able, scalable testing.
![Page 30: Mc4 e growth_hacking_2hr_gsew_MVPDraft1](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062823/587534581a28abe7728b5d21/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Traction: Strategies & Tactics determined by your bird in hand
Sometimes you have to do things that don’t scale at first (Trade Shows),
Sometimes someone on your team has to learn something new (Word Press),
BUT!
Always, your team is your Bird in Hand!
![Page 31: Mc4 e growth_hacking_2hr_gsew_MVPDraft1](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062823/587534581a28abe7728b5d21/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
SO ALWAYS WORK FIRST WITH WHAT YOU HAVE INFRONT OF
YOU
OR
WITH WHATEVER IS WITHIN ARMS REACH
![Page 32: Mc4 e growth_hacking_2hr_gsew_MVPDraft1](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062823/587534581a28abe7728b5d21/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
WHEN YOU FIND THAT YOU
CANNOT
MOVE FORWARD WITH YOUR AVAILABLE MEANS,
THEN YOU CAN LOOK OUTSIDE OF YOUR TEAM FOR HELP (QUILTING)
![Page 33: Mc4 e growth_hacking_2hr_gsew_MVPDraft1](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062823/587534581a28abe7728b5d21/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
EXERCISE TIME!
![Page 34: Mc4 e growth_hacking_2hr_gsew_MVPDraft1](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062823/587534581a28abe7728b5d21/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Traction Process Step 1: Set Analytics
Begin Google Analytics or Kissmetrics on your landing page, website immediately.
- Passive: You will begin collecting data that will later serve as a baseline for your actions.
- Active: begin learning how to use analytics, get cozy with interpreting statistics, a/b tests.
![Page 35: Mc4 e growth_hacking_2hr_gsew_MVPDraft1](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062823/587534581a28abe7728b5d21/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Traction Process Step 2: Critical Path
Begin By setting a quantifiable goal: ex. ‘X number of subscribers’
This will be the focus of your critical path, OMTM, and all efforts here forward to “move the needle”
Determine the steps necessary to reach your goal in the fewest number of steps. All activities are either on or off path.
![Page 36: Mc4 e growth_hacking_2hr_gsew_MVPDraft1](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062823/587534581a28abe7728b5d21/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Determine the steps necessary to reach your goal in the fewest number of steps.
All activities are either on or off path,
Don’t waste money, time, or resources with off-path or non-quantitative milestones.
Traction Process Step 2: Critical Path
![Page 37: Mc4 e growth_hacking_2hr_gsew_MVPDraft1](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062823/587534581a28abe7728b5d21/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Traction Process Step 2: Critical Path
We are going to test traction channels to see which ones will best get you going on
your critical path (on a small scale).
…And eliminate from curiosity those which will not.
![Page 38: Mc4 e growth_hacking_2hr_gsew_MVPDraft1](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062823/587534581a28abe7728b5d21/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Exercise: Step 2
FIRST ELIMINATION ROUND – 15:00
IMPORTANT!
Don’t forget that some of the best growth hacking channels are the ones that everyone else ignores!
(offline events create evangelists!!!)
![Page 44: Mc4 e growth_hacking_2hr_gsew_MVPDraft1](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062823/587534581a28abe7728b5d21/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Exercise: Step 2
FIRST ELIMINATION ROUND – 15:00 – Open Discussion
- Brainstorm: which channels are within the reach of your team? Bird in Hand.
- Which serve as direct distribution channels between your product and your market? Path of least resistance.
- Choose a TOP SIX!!! Do not rank them.
![Page 45: Mc4 e growth_hacking_2hr_gsew_MVPDraft1](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062823/587534581a28abe7728b5d21/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)

Exercise: Step 3
Isolate your top 6 on your score card in no particular order
Now you are going to turn a brainstorm session into a
quantifiable ranking system.
Have you selected six?
![Page 47: Mc4 e growth_hacking_2hr_gsew_MVPDraft1](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062823/587534581a28abe7728b5d21/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Traction Process Step 4: BRASS Framework
Using the BRASS framework
When brainstorming a channel, team members should ask themselves these three questions:
1) How much will it cost?2) How many customers are available?3) Are these the customers I need right now?
![Page 48: Mc4 e growth_hacking_2hr_gsew_MVPDraft1](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062823/587534581a28abe7728b5d21/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Traction Process Step 4: BRASS Metrics by David Arnoux [Growth Tribe]
• B- BLINKGut feeling. Don’t think, just vote!
• R- RELEVANCERelevance to your customer base. Is this channel directly delivering my message to where my customers hang out?
• A- AVAILABILITYInternal resources (team) & expertise vs. cost. Exploitable with your bird in hand?
• S- SCALABILITYCan you go big if this channel proves effective?
![Page 49: Mc4 e growth_hacking_2hr_gsew_MVPDraft1](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062823/587534581a28abe7728b5d21/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Exercise: Step 3
Each of the BRASS metrics gets a vote of 1-5 for each of your six
channels.
Vote BLIND by writing your vote on your provided voting card.
DON’T LET POLITICS SKEW YOUR DECISION
![Page 50: Mc4 e growth_hacking_2hr_gsew_MVPDraft1](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062823/587534581a28abe7728b5d21/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
