7 Million Dollar Tips for Growth Hacking Your Product

Growth Hacking, a latent secret, can boost your business without challenging your pockets. People from all walks of life, especially entrepreneurs, who wish to achieve incredible growth, often make an effort to follow growth hacking strategies, as it pumps traffic to their website and allows them to find ways to accomplish specific goals.

According to professional and successful startup entrepreneurs, it's better to follow growth hacking strategies, rather than struggling with learning the various concepts related to marketing from scratch. You banish all theneedless noise, and just focus on your core goals.

If you don't want to struggle with first-time pain while learning how you can create and market your business to success, I've got 7 million-dollar tips for you.

So, are you ready to make serious progress? Let's begin… 

#1 Offer Something Free

Offer something free on your pre-launch page. It's all about calling lavish-tea gatherings before launching the product, or service, professionally. Allow people to have a taste of your business so that they can build hype and impel their friends to check out your business too. It's a million-dollar strategy that can take people's curiosity to new heights without burning a hole in your pocket. Just remember, if you're offering something for free, it should be so valuable that everybody wants to share it. Various renowned people, like Seth Godin, Eben Pagan, Tony Robbins, Frank Kern, and etc, use this growth hacking strategy, and set their product's success, before its official launch.

#2 Show Exclusivity

Are you exclusive? Exhibit that. People always like to use products that are exclusive. They tell their friends and that builds up hype around your product. Therefore, exhibit the exclusive side of your product, as much as you can. Compel them to turn their heads and notice you. The more you do that, the more you become an attention-getter. 

#3 Make Use of Relationships

Contact a professional reporter. Ask him or her to promote your product, at least through their social media account. If it's not possible, stay in touch with your renowned friends, with big lists. Offer them your product for free, and persuade them to write a review for you, and put a status on their Facebook or Twitter accounts. Though, it appears rather a typical strategy, it can create amazing results. All you need is hype. Once you get it, you rise above competitors, and boost your business tremendously. 

#4 Show Your Hand

It's time to turn lookers into buyers. It's time to flabbergast people, and glean the real consumers out of them. Launch your product, or service, with utter authority, and expose all the benefits which it can offer to the clients. You've already earned the fame. Therefore, this will hit the people like a thunderbolt, and they'll feel the compulsion to buy it straight away… In addition, show them the price, and keep it according to your targeted consumers' status; this would also expel the freebie seekers, and engage you with the real customers.

#5 Programs and Competitions

Yes! The website needs constant activity in order to lure more business. Allow the customers to see that you're product is not just a trend. When you exhibit social proof, with the help of different programs and competitions, you enhance the trust level and make people excited about your product. We've seen that various online entrepreneurs use different contests to generate leads and engaged customers. 

#6 The Email Marketing

Email Marketing can be an absolutely huge source of paid customers if it is done correctly. Correctly in the sense that all emails send are of a useful nature to people they are sent to. You can of course, offer your products or tell users about a new service you are offering or even a book you are reading. However you need to show them these things gently, never force something upon anyone in your mailing list. Always be as helpful as you can. 

#7 Testimonials Grow Business

Believe it or not, testimonials are the bridges between you and your success. It doesn't matter whether you're just starting your business or have spent decades in it, testimonials are always red-hot, and gain the attention of consumers. However, these days, new entrepreneurs are making a small mistake regarding them. They don't pay much attention to testimonials, because they have already closed the sale and made their money. Well the fact is, the happiness of your previous customers is tantamount to creating new customers as well. 

Conclusion

There are many tips you can follow to achieving success with your product or service. The above are a few of the things that I have found to be the most important. The bottom line would be that consistent hard work will eventually beget success, you just have to stay motivated and determined that you will one day achieve what you have been working so hard for. Never give up. Keep moving, because will eventually make it.

INSPIRATION: 9 Habits of Exceptionally Likable People

So many people believe that in order to be a likable person, they need some form of super power that only a few a privy to. They believe that the privilege of being liked is only given to a select few and that they themselves will never possess such a skill. 

I am here to tell you, that this is completely incorrect and is 100% not the case.

Each and every one of us are incredibly special for who we are. We have everything inside of us that we need to be liked, and then some. It is only a case of gaining the knowledge necessary in order to understand how we all may unlock our inner self and become the most likable person we know, i.e. ourselves!

You won't believe how easy it is.

All likable people:

#1) USE POSITIVE BODY LANGUAGE

So let's imagine a scenario… you meet a group of friends at the weekend for a get-together and they have each brought a friend or two of their own, whom you have never met before.

What do you do? Should you simply acknowledge their presence but turn to your friends and talk to them instead? Certainly not. In fact you should just smile and say hello to your friends, but place themajority of your attention to the people whom you do not know, at least for a period of time. Stand in a neutral but interested stance towards them. Smile at them and greet them with a handshake. Say hello, and ask them how they are…. Go out of your way to make them feel comfortable with your presence.

As a result, you will be enriched by their presence, and they by yours.

#2) ASK THOUGHT-PROVOKING QUESTIONS

The conversation you inevitably spark up is flowing, and everything is great. Then comes their turn to speak. NOW, you must ensure that you not only listen to what they have to say, but also ask questions about what they are saying.

'Oh, sounds like you had a great holiday in Dubai, what was the food like?', 'I really like action movies too, who's your favorite action star?' or 'Wow, doing a part time master's is really admirable. Do you have any tips of what courses I could do for gaining experience in Computer Science & Business?'

#3) ARE GENUINELY INTERESTED

Not only is it important to listen to what they have to say, but to be genuinely interested in what they are saying. Most of the time, a person you just met will do their best to say things they think you will be interested in. It is your job to appreciate the fact that the person you are speaking with, may be trying to either impress you or just be friends with you. Don't make it hard on them, help them help you!

Pay special attention to everything they say withopen ears, and respond accordingly. If all else fails, you can simply wait for your turn to speak, and gently change the conversation to something more along the lines of your interests!

#4) KNOW THAT SMILES ARE CONTAGIOUS

You're having a great chat, you are really enjoying each other's company and you like where the conversation is going. Smile. Smile like you've never smiled before. A simple smile offers re-assurance to whomever you are speaking with. Not only that, but it makes you feel more comfortablewith the current situation, allowing more creativity to flow, which in turn sparks a more meaningful conversation.

Plus, if you are not really enjoying what's being said, just smile anyway. I guarantee that, after a few minutes, you will feel more keen about the conversation at hand.

#5) DON'T EVER PASS JUDGEMENT

Sometimes it's easy to jump to conclusions about someone you just met. They seem to be cool, but they then say something like 'Yeah I thought she was my best friend, but then she got married and we don't speak anymore. I hate her now' or 'Paul from work is a real pain, he's always talking rubbish and is terrible at his job', you think that they may actually be a not the best person. The fact is, you really don't know the person they are talking about, and even if you do, you still don't know that person from their perspective.

Try to never 'judge a book by its cover'. When they complain about something, be sympathetic. Take it with a grain of salt and move one. It is better to be friendly and supportive than to be distant and judgmental.

#6) PAY ATTENTION TO EVERY WORD

In the depths of a conversation, you can easily kill the flow by not paying attention. Simply taking out your phone when someone else is speaking can disrupt what they are saying or cause them to loose their chain of thought as they wonder… 'why is he/she not paying attention, am I boring or something?'.

Let's be honest here, you would like to be listened to when you speak out loud. So you should treat others the way you want to be treated.

#7) DON'T SEEK ATTENTION

Quite a lot of people are unfavorable to hearing other's boast about their accomplishments, whether it be past, present or future. Not only does it show you are more selfish and prefer talking about yourself, but it alerts other's to the fact that you may not want to hear what they have to say at all.

Instead, hold a genuine conversation. Ask other's about their interests, and eventually their thought on a particular topic. Once they have said their piece and you have given a genuine response, you can then tell them about what sort of action you have taken on the particular area or what activities of note you have been involved in.

#8) LEAVE A STRONG FIRST IMPRESSION

All of the above will no doubt help you in ensuring you leave a strong first impression with the people you have just met and have spent a conversation with. It is nice to be remembered– everyone wants to be liked & remembered. That is the important point here.

Take the time to say goodbye in a genuine way. Use whatever medium you can (speech, expression, action) to portray to them that you have enjoyed their company and found what they had to say quite interesting.

You may even go so far as to arrange another meeting or express interest in it.

#9) GREET EVERYONE BY NAME

The best thing you can do to make someone feel pride in themselves and an interest in you or what you will say next, is by greeting them by their name. Quite a simple concept yet it is usually over-looked. Whether it is your closest friend or someone you barely know, always greet them with their name.

This may be more easily said than done in some cases, especially when you meet a lot of new faces on a regular basis, however, that just reinforces the results when you strive to remember each name. They will respect you for it, and they will in turn, remember your name.

BRINGING EVERYTHING TOGETHER

I guarantee that you have felt, been in, or hear of at least some of the topics and situations described above. It is impossible for any of us to adhere to or respond perfectly to all of the situations described. We are only humans. However as human beings, we have the innate ability to learn, to overcome our short-comings and to better ourselves each and every day.

Simply put, when you are aware of the habits that cause people to like you, you are far more likely to follow them to the best of your ability.

Here's to us, and our quest to become the most likable person on the planet.

Turning Your Imaginations To Reality. Written by Prof. Yucee Landa Henry Liberated

What do You always think at lonely times? Pictures of mansions You wish to own? Countries and places You wish to visit and live? Types of fancy things, neon shows and everyday jamboree with loved ones? Rooms and alerts of huge sum of money? Command respect, being worshipped like a King in the name of being a firm owner? Seeing Your face on bills and magazines across all information dissemination medias across the globe?
Interesting!!!!
Pause You imaginations, it's only a Mirage.
Take a pen and paper. Write down a plan. You can't get something out of nothing. Any nothing that gives You something, is a something disguised as nothing.
Let Your plan have a date. Draft what You want to get and what You want to do to get it, and when You want to get it.
The best time to start anything that concerns well being of a person is now, not later.
After drafting, pursue it according to the dates set. The result is, You must get it, but at that time or another time. Try it today.

What You must have to be gainfully employed in a firm. By Prof. Yucee Landa Henry Liberated

What I have is a different statement from what I can do. Today, employers are looking for what You can do and not what You  have. It's possible to have a thing and at the same time being unable to use the thing. Not all with an android phone can really make 80% use of it or, even, teach another how to use it.
Get this clear. As an applicant, go and develop personal skills.
These personal skills in addition to what You have, distinguishes You.
