What if 
? 
there was a better way 12-18 months 
later a book is born… 
and hopefully it excels.
Growth 
HACKING 
has an ANSWER! 
Let me show you how it worked for me. 
12-18 months 
later a book is born… 
and hopefully it excels.
In 2012 
I wrote an article for 
Fast Company 
AKA Minimum Viable Product
Then I got an email from my editor. 
Would I like to try it 
as an e-single? 
12-18 months 
later a book is born… 
and hopefully it excels.
A few 
months later 
GROWTH 
HACKER 
MARKETING 
came out
We kept the price low. 
! 
12-18 months 
later a book is born… 
and hopefully it excels. 
! 
Marketed it with 
guest posts, 
podcasts 
and 
Slideshare
It became a #1 Amazon bestseller. 
12-18 months 
later a book is born… 
and hopefully it excels. 
AKA: Product Market Fit
Only then 
did we decide 
! 
to make 
it physical.
We improved the book 
based on feedback, 
doubled the length, 
updated the examples
We brainstormed how to 
activate existing fans - 
how to create a WOW factor
We created viral tools 
to spread the book to new groups. 
!
Even after giving away 
all these free copies, 
pre-orders went way up 
!
Now, it’s out and for sale and doing 
better than ever. I’ve spoken all over the 
world in support of the book, invested in 
companies, advised incubators. 
! 
It’s sold tens of thousands of copies 
across platforms and has more than 300 
reviews on Amazon. 
! 
! 
!
It all started because of a minimum 
viable product—an article. 
! 
! 
!
Growth Hacking works! 
Even for something as old 
school as a book. 
Book publishing 
is as old school as it gets.
Why 
? 
don’t you try it 12-18 months 
later a book is born… 
and hopefully it excels.
