Growth HACKING

Let me show you how it worked for me. has an ANSWER!

I wrote an article for Fast Company

A few months later GROWTH HACKER MARKETING

came out

We kept the price low. !

It became a #1 Amazon bestseller.

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. !
