Growth HACKING
Let me show you how it worked for me. has an ANSWER!
I wrote an article for Fast Company
In 2012
AKA Minimum Viable Product

later a book is born… and hopefully it excels.
Then I got an email from my editor.
Would I like to try it as an e-single?
A few months later GROWTH HACKER MARKETING
came out

We kept the price low. !

Marketed it with guest posts, podcasts and Slideshare

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. !
