You need to clarify the specific context of your question. For example: Eating 5 times a day caused my stomach expansive growth. That's how to hack being skinny!

@s_nakamoto ahaha That's funny. Growth Strategies for your startup?

Cold DMs on Twitter. I can't stress how underrated it is and how effective at the same time.
Bertha Kgokong
@5harath That is a good tip
Fatos Bediu
@5harath Does it work better with a personal or a business account?
Youri Nelson
@5harath We've had good success with that method on Reddit. Garnered over 300 sign ups on Telios.

@youreka that's quite interesting I never thought it would work on reddit. What sort of subreddits do you go on to search for people to DM?
Youri Nelson
@rucha_joshi8 subreddits that pertain to our space or pages dedicated to our competitors. So privacy, own your data, protonmail, tutonota, p2p, etc...
Actually building something rather than just dreaming about it....

@maxwellcdavis Like Nike says, "If you want to create a revolution..." Everything is going to will be all right; "Just Do It".
Youri Nelson
@maxwellcdavis @s_nakamoto That's fair. I think the building part is implied (or should have been). But I agree it's easy to get sidetracked and be hyper focused on growth and not enough on building the product. Maybe the real question, how do you best determine market fit?

DM’s and adding value. Not asking for anything in return. But i don’t treat it as a “growth hack”. It’s just fun.
Youri Nelson
@mikecardona_ I guess instead of the word hack I should have said strategies. We've tried to DM and it works well, some misses where people don't like it but for the most part, it works well.
Rucha Joshi
@mikecardona_ I agree. I've met some of the most interesting people by cold dm-ing them.

@antonovna Do you mean straight DMs or mass audience communication?

conferences, personal acquaintances, replenishment of the client base

@ira_gi What do you mean by replenishment of the client base?

I found this tool right here on PH https://awario.com/ it is amazing to say the least, for creating leads from people online already asking about what you are doing. It gathers leads from all over the internet, including twitter and reddit. Then you combine with with clear goals, and objectives - create a sales funnel starting with these leads and work towards converting them. Its not free, been using the trial version which is about to expire now.

@berthakgokong interesting. Thanks for sharing.. Just posted in an AMA on IndieHackers about using social listening tools.
Youri Nelson
@berthakgokong Never heard of awario but I'll check it out. Thank you.
