16. Why Growth Hacking?
• Startups tend to have limited resources so they
need to be creative to acquire new users and
retain them
• Traditional marketing channels are expensive and

saturated
• Most startups focus heavily on product but another
real challenge is with distribution

Activation = getting people to take the
required action, e.g. purchase, sign up

38. Prioritise your Ideas
@Growthhackasia (Growth Hacking Asia)
Prioritize
1) Probability of Success
2) Impact
3) Resources
39. Run Minimum Viable Test (MVT)
@Growthhackasia (Growth Hacking Asia)
Test
For example by using:
1) Landing pages
2) A/B Testing Tools
3) Etc.
40. Understand and Document Test Results
@Growthhackasia (Growth Hacking Asia)
Analyze
1) Impact (results)
2) Accuracy (how close to
hypotheses?)
3) Why?
41. Build it into Your Product (no more MVT)
Systemize/Playbook
If experiment was successful:
1) Systemize (build into your
product)
2) Playbook (if it can’t be
systemized, create a
manual)

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
