Example Flow

Page 20: The Growth Hacker's Playbook

Set ‘Goals’Measure the flows at different points along the way so you understand how people are behaving at each step.

There is a temptation to track everything! DON’T. Tracking is ok but concentrate on most important functions/actions.

Page 21: The Growth Hacker's Playbook

Understand

before Action

Take time (days or even weeks)

to understand what’s going

on before taking a bunch of actions (i.e. site changes, marketing campaigns)

Pick the key task in your business, the one that you think is most valuable or one you’ve identified in your

initial metric review that seems out of line.

A/B Testing

Just Pick Something– SaaS: activation– eCommerce: checkout

– Blog: returning visitors– Social: posting volume

Page 27: The Growth Hacker's Playbook

H1Write a hypothesis for whatever you’re going to test.

Take a guess, but write it down!

‘Average cart completion rate will increase from x% to y%.’

Page 28: The Growth Hacker's Playbook

…or to do something that will make things worse.

Be Prepared to Fail

“ I find being a Growth Hacker is a lot like being an entrepreneur, you get used to messing up, there is a tolerance for

doing something crazy that might work, and you get told no a lot by customers.
