Editor's Notes
- During these first few weeks, however, an interesting figure stood out: 80% of new signups found out about the service from a friend.
- From an initial pool of a few thousand users, within hours growth became exponential. Fast-forward to December 31st, 1997, just a year and a half after launching, Hotmail had 12 million users (out of a total internet user base of 70 million)
- 1.5 years later, they had 12mio users and sold the company to Microsoft
- They all became huge with little to no traditional marketing
- Intersection of 3 areas – Marketing, Product Development, Analytics Which is why it is important for marketing and product teams to work together. It gives you the creativity and agility you need Unconventional ideas and quick execution by having Marketing and product teams work together Entirely data driven – try, measure, continue or change
- Find process to find combination of things that work for you, not somebody else Use tactics you read and hear about as inspiration and input, not as something to copy GH is actually a long process, only looks easy once you’ve found the things that work It is a result of a sum of hundreds of actions
- Process to find unique combination of things that work for you, not others
- All touch points with your brand from getting users to your site to converting them and having them refer you Each step can and should be optimised
- Inspiration Engagement Sales
- How many eyeballs How many conversions
- Growth hacking is very much a mindset – test, measure, change or keep Goal needs to be an optimised funnel with a viral referral loop
- GH is actually a long process, only looks easy once you’ve found the things that work It is a result of a sum of hundreds of actions
- 1) Develop hypotheses
- Brainstorm – not outputs but inputs e.g. activation rate: Activation in 3 steps Brainstorm ideas about each of the steps How to improve inputs to improve outputs
- Prioritise Probability of success: low middle high Impact: hypothesis – if successful (variable)will increase by (XX) because (assumption) Resources needed
- Testing Minimum viable test E.g. create a simple new landing page to test rather than making changes to your current page Make sure you have a control group!!
- After 30-90 days Impact – results Accuracy – how close to hypothesis Why -> helps you formulate new hypotheses/ action items
- Systemize – build into your product Playbooks – if it’s something manual, write down how to do it
- 1) Develop hypotheses
