    Growth hacking is awesome. Just find a clever way that will attract as many targeted visitors as possible. Make them share your content or do something for you for an offer they cannot ignore.

    AirBnB used growth hacking by using the traffic from craigslist. they used it as a back end basically. A person would list their room on AirBnB and could also automatically list it to craigslist. It grew really fast. https://growthhackers.com/companies/airbnb/

    I found the book Growth Hacker Marketing to be extremely helpful in describing what growth hacking is and detailed examples of how different companies used the technique.

    Some of the examples Ryan Holiday talks about are:

    Dropbox
    Groupon
    Zynga
    Instagram
    Pinterest
    Hotmail

    Hotmail was an easy one to understand because all they really did was put a "P.S. Sign up for your own Hotmail account." message at the end of every email that went out from current users. That way they didn't have to rely solely on traditional marketing methods because that technique turned all of their users into defacto marketers for them. Great idea right?

      Good info! Will look into this further. I've heard about AirBnB and DropBox but not hotmail.
