Favorite growth hack?

Question

What is your favorite growth hack or the one that worked best for you recently?

Sharath Kuruganty · Accepted Answer

Cold DMs on Twitter. I can't stress how underrated it is and how effective at the same time.

Mike Cardona · Answer

DM’s and adding value. Not asking for anything in return.

But i don’t treat it as a “growth hack”. It’s just fun.

Maxwell Davis · Answer

Actually building something rather than just dreaming about it....

Youri Nelson · Answer

@hassanshaikh it actually was very successful for us, we try to narrow it down to subreddits that were pertinent to our product, so we didn’t reach out to people outside of our target audience and we tried to keep it grounded, avoiding the sell pitches that may resemble a bot posting type thing and then simply having a conversation around pain point or issues these reditors may have expressed on the sub, and talking about out solution. The majority of people received it well, a few called it creepy and spammy but that i guess that was to be expected. Overall it was definitely a win for us. @pierre_kraus (Telios team member) drove a couple hundred people to our platform which for us this early one is huge.

Rucha Joshi · Answer

@youreka that's quite interesting I never thought it would work on reddit. What sort of subreddits do you go on to search for people to DM?

Youri Nelson · Answer

@maxwellcdavis @s_nakamoto That's fair. I think the building part is implied (or should have been). But I agree it's easy to get sidetracked and be hyper focused on growth and not enough on building the product. Maybe the real question, how do you best determine market fit?

Youri Nelson · Answer

@5harath We've had good success with that method on Reddit. Garnered over 300 sign ups on Telios.

@youreka late to this discussion, but can you share how DM'ing people directly on reddit went? any tips, best practices? I am about to start on this and would love to know what to avoid and what to say to drive signups!

Satoshi Nakamoto · Answer

@maxwellcdavis  Like Nike says,  "If you want to create a revolution..."  Everything is going to will be all right; "Just Do It".

Satoshi Nakamoto · Answer

You need to clarify the specific context of your question.   For example:   Eating 5 times a day caused my stomach expansive growth.  That's how to hack being skinny!

I found this tool right here on PH https://awario.com/ it is amazing to say the least, for creating leads from people online already asking about what you are doing. It gathers leads from all over the internet, including twitter and reddit.

Then you combine with with clear goals, and objectives - create a sales funnel starting with these leads and work towards converting them.

Its not free, been using the trial version which is about to expire now.
