WHAT IS GROWTH HACKING? 3 Key Points To Consider From Guest Blogger Chae O’Brien Growth Hacking is essentially doing whatever it takes to get your product in the mind of the consumer (by positive association) and have it stay there for a lifetime. It is as much marketing as it is product development. It can be an individualistic function as it can be a team ethic. What most fail to realise, is that stimulating rapid growth can mean so many things in so many ways to different business formats. Growth for an e-commerce site can be as simple as skyrocketing top line revenue or experiencing a 489% jump in newsletter subscriptions for a budding NGO. More accurately, relative growth depends on which core data signals you’re looking to be your primary metric of success. The three points below address critical aspects of any GH strategy in the event you’re looking to find the right mix between product development considerations, marketing strategies and and analytic measurement to kick start an intense product experience campaign. (1) Your Product Should Be A Hack By Usability Coming back to what Beth said about relevance, your product (whether it be a baby bottle prototype or a Saas), should resonate with your intended target audiences by means of an immediate personal connection. To put it in context, if I created a drink which cured the common cold for a lifetime with one dosage, Marketing wouldn’t be remotely necessary. Its effectiveness and massive relevance to the world population would be enough to spin a demand so out of control it would take an...

WORKING INSTAGRAM LIKE A PRO Top Tips for Increasing Engagement By Elise Forsyth-Mort Instagram is tipped to become the next marketing powerhouse for businesses so if you aren’t already its time to jump on board and ride the next social media wave… Make Sure Your Page Is On Point Lets face it, creating great Instagram content consistently is really hard! So the last thing you want is for all that hard work to go to waste just because your page is a mess. Fill in your name (so people can find you!), write an engaging bio and add a web address, this shouldn’t take you more than 30 mins and the results will astound you. Hashed Hashtags You live and die by the hashtags you use on Instagram, without a lot of followers this is how you get your content seen so don’t leave them to chance and do your research before you post. Do away with the generic #love #cute #girl and use some hashtags that are actually going to bring you some customers. Put yourself in the mind of your consumer looking for your product, for example lets say you make designer concrete pots in Perth. You would want to use the following hashtags or similar: #PerthPots #PerthConcretePots #PerthProducts #HandMadePerth #MadeInPerth #PerthSmallBusiness … but do your own research, nobody knows your customers better than you do. Don’t Be Afraid To Follow There seems to be a stigma on Instagram around following too many pages or following more pages than are following you, this is crazy! Especially if you are...

MAKING SENSE OF BIG DATA Guest Blog Post By Mike Segveld www.MikeSegveld.nl Data is something that we simply can’t afford to ignore!! This blog post will show you the value of data, some of the future trends as well as showing you how to use your data to create a meaningful marketing plan for your business. Can It Be Automated? There is much automated nowadays, but can you automate the entire process of data (collection, reporting and concluding) or is there always a need for human skill? There is a trend that more things are being automated. This is because there are more opportunities to automate things. For example, behavioural targeting, finding certain behaviours on your site and respond with specific content, is also more and more automated. Just as the predictive side of analytics (the understanding of datasets and predict the value there from. This is because there are more opportunities to automate things. Data-driven is a very important component in everything you do, but it will be never the only component. The data can tell you what happens, but eventually you have to decide how you are going to anticipate. This is where creativity needed. It is important that you are going to formulate some hypotheses, test it and validate it with the data. Automating won’t let the human aspect disappear, but it move the human work. For example; The algorithms (that collect and make conclusions based on the data) have to be written. This is what the humans will do in future. The mainstream things will be automated faster, but the human...

GUEST BLOG YOUR WAY TO SUCCESS Social Media Rockstar Tip By Karen Repoli Sharing your knowledge on other peoples sites is actually a fantastic strategy to help your build your own brand.

HOW DO YOU STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD? Thinking “OUTSIDE THE BOX” About Marketing Guest Blog Post By Aroa Vargas (@AtreveteconelMK) When we are talking about thinking out of the box, we are talking about a metaphor that means to think differently. It means approaching problems in new, innovative ways; conceptualizing problems differently; and understanding your position in a way you’d never thought of before. The easiest way to understand what means think outside the box is think different. If we continue doing the same that we always do, we are not thinking outside the box, if not inside. How to do it? As somebody says, “you think outside the box when you’re removing yourself from any and all preconceived notions or ideas about how it has been done before” Brainstorm, re-conceptualize the problem, daydream, pay attention to other’s people ideas or even give yourself some basic parameters may help you to think outside the box. Something that also inspires me to talk to you about this was the talk by Giovanni Corazza at TedxRoma: How to get out of the box and generate ideas. In this talk, Giovanni Corazza tells us why we need to go out of the box, how do we get out of the box, when is a good idea to think out of the box and much much more. “Going out of the box is no longer a luxury, it is a necessity for us & our dignity as human beings” How Aroa Vargas Describes Herself!! http://atreveteconelmarketing.es/english/ (English) http://atreveteconelmarketing.es/sobre-mi/ (Spanish) When I started the university I already knew how much I loved Marketing, for this reason, I decided to study...

How To Repurpose Your Content (The 3 Rs) Rewriting - Recombining - Reformatting Rewriting Rewriting means taking a piece of content you created and simply rewording it so that it’s original. This was a common method used in the days when massive article publishing led to good traffic from search engines, but simply rewriting content line-for-line is not so effective these days and doesn’t add new value. The search engines have become more sophisticated and they can tell when a new article is just a rewritten old one. So how do you repurpose your article? Add new information and do some editing as you rewrite. Now you produced something that’s truly original. You can update your old articles by adding new, more recent information. Also, instead of rewriting a piece line-by-line, you can reorganize it to make it more original. Recombining Recombining means taking two or more different pieces of content and putting them together into one. You can do this and still produce a piece of content that’s focused and simple. For example, if you have three articles on work/life balance, you can create one article that’s something like, “3 Ways to Achieve Work/Life Balance Now.” Along with recombining, you can also take an article apart and create multiple articles from its sections. If you have an article that teaches 10 tips for doing something, you can turn each of those tips into standalone articles. It’s all a matter of adding or removing details. Reformatting Finally, there’s reformatting. Reformatting means to take a piece of content that’s in one format and turn it into a piece of content...
