What is the best marketing growth hack that you actually used and saw results?

by•
Here is one of my all time favorites... Writing Pillar Statistics Posts to Get Loads of Quality Passive Backlinks I have used a pretty simple formula to get over a 1000 unique referring domain backlinks every year. Step 1 Find the keyword statistic phrases in your niche that have a search volume of 50+. For example, if you had a dog blog or website, then some of the phrases would be; dog bite statistics, dog owner statistics, service dog statistics. Step 2 Look at the first two pages of Google results and identify the post with the most statistics by looking at the titles. If the highest number is "37 Dog Bite Statistics," then your post title would take it a notch higher with "50 Eye Opening Dog Bite Statistics." Step 3 Compile a great blog post with a list of 50 stats and organize them for easy scanning. Every time a news reporter has a story about a dog attack, they go straight to Google looking for some stats to include in their article. They typically click on the Google result with the highest number in the title. After they grab a stat or two from your post, they link the stat on their article back to your post. What's your best growth hack?

making stickers (really good ones, so it took some time to design & find appropriate production) and dispatching them free on our meet-ups let us spread the word among core audience and helped to fill our #tceh coworking – 150 spots – in less than 4 months 🖖

Some of the answer would depend upon what type of product or service you are selling. Prior to my current venture (which I will come back to) I owned an urgent care company. We sold a service, but it was more of a top of mind than anything. To that end we ran monthly Facebook contests - Like, Comment, Share for a change to win "x" Usually a prize worth a couple hundred bucks; something made up of a few smaller items that looked appealing in a picture we would post. I usually wouldn't have to promote the post at all and we'd get thousands of views. A second thing we did was "random acts of kindness" about once a week or every other week where we would pick a local small business and deliver them cookies or cupcakes or similar. We'd take a pic with them and post it on our social media. With regard to my current venture - an app based company (www.homepageapp.com) my partners and I have been discussing running a contest as well - install for a chance to win "x". Somewhat a different industry for me. Any have thoughts or experience as far as what has worked perviously for start-up budget friendly tech-based giveaways?

This is a great idea. Although we are currently not in a position to create content (we focus on direct email outreach), will keep this in mind and try it later on. Thanks again!

I think different industries have different amount of success with the same. For a UGC/Social/Gaming platform, viral/controversial/unusual content typically works well, but that may not yield such great results for a consumer goods or a marketplace/Pay-as-you-go product, as they should only be interested in users who end up spending money. The product has to solve problems, and amplifying the gains that early users made is a good way to get traction. Referrals and incentives prove helpful here.

Joining and collaborating with groups - Facebook, Whatsapp, Telegram Bit tedious but very helpful. This gave around 40% of the traffic and 63% of user onboarding.

Establishing genuine relationships by building a community. Especially if you’re in SaaS, it can help lower churn to invite your product subscribers to a Slack channel where they can actively engage with you about your product. It’s a customer success and product management win.
