Hack Online Marketing, Unleash Your Growth, Become an Unstoppable Force
Learn the secrets that top-earning online marketers are using to dominate virtually every platform and niche online using unorthodox methods, growth "hacks," and automation.
Ended
If you're a results-oriented entrepreneur who wants to growth hack your way to a business that works smarter, that works more efficiently, that makes sense, and most importantly -- that works for you, then you are going to love "Dr Growth!"
That's a very bold claim, but allow me to allay your skepticism for a moment.
Working tireless nights, holidays, and weekends, I've been able to fit together the pieces of a grand puzzle -- and discover the secrets of hacking growth, automation, leverage, and how to create a god like aura of efficiency and speed to help any business dominate its space online.
Our campaigns and clients enjoy millions of monthly pageviews, millions of social followers, millions of emails, millions of dollars in revenue.
Through countless campaigns I've tested hundreds of tactics and invented my own strategies where none previously existed and kept only the methods I know work.
From tireless tests and experiments I’ve been able to create a process that is proven to be consistent, repeatable, and most importantly — it works.
Now I've endeavored to write about this process and share it with the world.
These are strategies you can start using tomorrow to transform your business, even if you don't have a big brand or famous name, have limited tech knowledge, or lack a hundred employees (these are perfect for solopreneurs and small teams).
Wouldn't it be great to have hand-holding help to help you navigate the confusing world of digital marketing?
A clear, easy guide based on real strategies that work that actually tells you what you need to know?
• No BS or academic knowledge
• No unnecessary verbiage or meaningless terminology
• No silly graphs or pie charts
• No theories
• Real, proven strategies that actually work
I believe that each person should only write about something that they are deeply experienced with themselves. There are too many cases of the "blind leading the blind," for example journalists who write about travel who have never been outside of their native country.
The marketing niche is perhaps the worst culprit for rehashed content coming from blogs, consultants, and coaches who have no idea how to actually market a business to the top.
You won't find any of that here. Only real, ridiculously effective strategies, apps, tools, and software that just plain works.
Over the last 12 years, I've launched blogs, self-published books, written (and promoted) several hundred pieces of content, published podcasts, promoted affiliate products, sold my own products, created online courses, written sales copy, created email lists, created huge followings on virtually every channel, produced membership sites, landing pages, done video marketing, ranked websites #1 for competitive terms, and on and on.
I've also honed the best marketing tactics through repeated tests and campaigns working with more than two hundred clients -- from parenting newsletters to widgets to apps.
As the founder of two agencies, I've marketed every type of business imaginable: therapists, podcasts, wineries, home improvement stores, health coaches, fitness coaches, accountants, construction companies, art galleries, fashion consultants, photographers, DJs, marketing agencies, non-profits, painters, mortgage businesses, hotels, travel agencies, tutors, education startups, graphic design agencies, and so on.
Every single client, campaign, and market provides a unique challenge with a different market, a different core strategy, and a different message. But from each campaign I’ve drawn out a seed of wisdom that applies to analogous undertakings.
I've seen this at work time and again, and predict results with 99% confidence.
This book will be a powerful tool in the right hands.
While "Dr Growth" is not a cure for cancer, it DOES provide a cure for the type of marketing cancer that kills most businesses.
This cancer is nothing less than a lack of traffic, customers, users, and subscribers. It is a grim reality for most businesses. This cancer eats away at the core of the business and even afflicts the health and sanity of the entrepreneur himself.
A lack of customers is the #1 reason why businesses fail. Lack of deal flow and revenue from poor lead and value generation is the cause. And of the businesses still operating, nearly all of them want more. Because what they are currently getting is simply not enough.
About seven or eight years ago, I too suffered from this cancer. I worked so long and hard trying to get ahead -- to finally grow my business to be where I wanted to be.
But no matter what I did, no matter how long I worked, I never could seem to get anywhere.
Things came to a head when one morning at my local Starbucks a barista whom I knew came up to my table and curiously asked, "Why are you working on Christmas?"
I coyly replied "Why are you working on Christmas?" thinking that I was so clever. But she was there because she had to be.
I was there because I was killing myself for my business and there was no boundary between my entrepreneurial life and my personal life. Nights, weekends, holidays -- none of them had any meaning any more. My life had become hollow.
Finally, I began following a path of working smarter, rather than harder. I learnt everything about running lean, about saying "NO" to the wrong types of clients and situations, about systems, procedures, outsourcing and most importantly -- automation.
Before long I left to travel the world indefinitely, working two hours per day. I transformed my business into a lean, efficient machine, and never looked back.
Years later and I'm still traveling the world, continuing to apply every life, business, and of course growth hack to create even more leverage and freedom in my life.
It is with great esteem and an equal measure of humility (it was a long journey to get here) that I bring you my latest work.
Note that the remedies and prescriptions in "Dr Growth" are not "magic pills." They are supplements, super foods, and of course "hacks" that when combined together, can radically transform any business prospects' -- even ones that are currently frail and failing.
Yes, you can turn a HALF business (Hard, Annoying, Lame, and Frustrating) into an ELF one (Easy, Lucrative, and Fun). And ground-zero is with your marketing.
My father, a serial entrepreneur, taught me the secrets of selling since I was a boy.
I begun my first business operation in earnest at age 9, knocking on doors as my father trained me to do. I've had an obsession with marketing ever since.
In 2012, I was the #1 highest-performing door-to-door canvasser in the state of Nevada during the Obama presidential re-election campaign:
"Danny was twice to three times as effective at collecting signed supporter cards than our other supporters. He worked more quickly, and over the course of the first weekend, continued to hone his message to best tailor it to the supporters and generate results.
On the second day of work, he received 8 signed pledge cards on a day no one else collected more than two, and also collected additional information about potential voters that had eluded us on our lists.
By the end of the trip, Dan was helping our other supporters tailor their message more appropriately, and delivered exceptional results and built tremendous morale among our group."
In addition to marketing, I’ve also studied how the brain works for more than 12 years, which gives me an important and valuable perspective into why things that “should work” (from a practical standpoint) fall flat when pitted up against human nature.
I’ve published a number of books and articles about life and business hacks, and am well known for my ruthlessly results-oriented and unorthodox experiments such as forcing peak productivity by turning the Bangkok skytrain into my office, doubling my energy through polyphasic sleep (sleeping four hours at night), and training content creators to perform at an intensity on par with Olympic athletes.
My entire life has been to devoted to experimentation and study, an effort to discover ways to hack systems and situations that don't make much sense and make them leaner, smarter, and more efficient.
To defy the mediocre results that most experience and discover the means to ends that are truly extraordinary.
A quick Google search on “growth hacking” returns more than 33 million results. It has multiplied in volume, prestige, and respect — and rightfully so.
Growth hacking is developing quickly... and it’s only just beginning to take off. New results are being reported all the time. Everyone is joining in this new “gold rush” and rushing to acquire the hat of a growth hacker.
Unfortunately, many of the books, blogs, and other resources struggle to make much headway in sharing what is actually important -- the stuff that you and I actually care about.
There are far too many lists of "growth hacks" on blogs with meaningless information, nothing valuable for us to use. A "hack" might be to "implement a referral system," or that "changing menu colors can increase conversions," or "Trello can help you get organized."
While a few of these resources are actually helpful, they only suggest small wins that provide marginal returns. Or they repurpose the same old ideas, and offer nothing new.
The kind that others might consider an “unfair advantage.” The kind of tactics that Napoleon used to conquer Europe, or that Genghis Khan used to conquer the known world.
Alexander the Great wasn’t undefeated because he used a productivity app or because he changed the color of his banners, he defeated every foe he faced because his men carried very long, very sharp pointed spears, knew how to fight in superior formations, and had an unprecedented level of discipline and training.
Huge success when it comes to deploying unconventional marketing methods comes from relentless testing. When we discover a new tactic or brainstorm a new idea, we implement it. If it produces results, we keep it and continue using it, reaping the benefits. Anything that doesn’t work based on real-world testing is discarded.
Like a shrewd general who knows exactly where to deploy his greatest troop strength to turn the tide of battle, you will have the precise gameplan -- and most importantly, the tools -- you need to succeed.
I did not do this myself; I've had help and learnt from lots of people. And this project is not only my own creation.
To help you succeed, I’ve invited a number of respected online entrepreneurs and top marketers to contribute feedback and share expertise on their own unique special methods of growth hacking.
You’ll receive direct instruction from ordinary people who have created powerful brands — both for themselves and for clients — such as Meg Jerrard, Matt Stone, Tom Morkes, Victor Kung, and others.
While growth hacking is a powerful way to rapidly increase your reach, impact, and sales, it's by no means easy.
But if you break down the overwhelming complexity of marketing a business online into a proven process with defined objectives, your chances of success improve dramatically.
Fortunately, I have endeavored to provide you with the blueprint, based on a thousand marketing tests that we have run, in the real (online) world.
After reading this book, you will not only have a dozen ideas about different strategies that will help your ideas succeed, you’ll know exactly what it takes to implement each one of them.
Even if you know absolutely nothing about marketing you can sit down, follow the instructions, and make your launch succeed.
Armed with this book, you will have the tools you need to make sure that every project you launch is a success.
After publishing five books in 2015, I thought that I was done with writing.
I’ve come out of retirement to provide this rare and unique book, in hope that it may be of service to you.
In “Dr Growth” I’ll provide you with a step-by-step, systematic dismantling and dissection of every strategy and tactic that actually works. It’s a guide that will handhold you all the way to getting users, traffic, and revenue.
I hope that you enjoy the book.
Nothing here is final, but it should give you a good indication of where I want to take this book and corresponding content.
