Less cost and more cost
The big difference is the emphasis on accomplishing all this as quickly and inexpensively as possible with the experimentation method, which validates the hypotheses. Growth hacking attempts to discover doors to growth with less cost and more speed.
However, do not assume that hacks work like magic! You need to invest in tools that allow you to perform experiments and automation, and assemble teams to find the best solutions. So, what do you need to practice growth hacking? We can summarize the fundamental parts of this process as follows:
- Objective: clearly define the goal of growth hacking.
- Hypothesis: develop hypotheses based on the know-how and intuition of your professionals.
- Experiments: conduct tests to prove the hypothesis’s efficiency.
- Tools: use testing, analytics, and automation tools.
