Story4.5 out of 5 stars 427
Most startups don't fail because they can't build a product. Most startups fail because they can't get traction. Startup advice tends to be a lot of platitudes repackaged with new buzzwords, but Traction is something else entirely. As Gabriel Weinberg and Justin Mares learned from their own experiences, building a successful company is hard. For every startup that grows to the point where it can go public or be profitably acquired, hundreds of others sputter and die.

Rand Fishkin, the founder and former CEO of Moz, reveals how traditional Silicon Valley "wisdom" leads far too many startups astray, with the transparency and humor that his hundreds of thousands of blog readers have come to love. Everyone knows how a startup story is supposed to go: A young, brilliant entrepreneur has a cool idea, drops out of college, defies the doubters, overcomes all odds, makes billions, and becomes the envy of the technology world. This is not that story. It's not that things went badly for Rand Fishkin; they just weren't quite so Zuckerberg-esque.

Why do some products get more word of mouth than others? Why does some online content go viral? Word of mouth makes products, ideas, and behaviors catch on. It's more influential than advertising and far more effective. Can you create word of mouth for your product or idea? According to Berger, you can. Whether you operate a neighborhood restaurant, a corporation with hundreds of employees, or are running for a local office for the first time, the steps that can help your product or idea become viral are the same.

A happy subscriber base is the ultimate economic moat. Today's consumers prefer the advantages of access over the hassles of maintenance. Simply put, the world is shifting from products to services. As the CEO of the world's largest subscription management platform, Tien Tzuo has helped hundreds of companies transition from relying on individual sales to building customer-centric, recurring-revenue businesses.

Publisher's Summary
Random House presents the unabridged downloadable audiobook edition of Hacking Growth, written and read by Morgan Brown and Sean Ellis.
Growth is now the first thing that investors, shareholders and market analysts look for in assessing and valuing companies.
Hacking Growth is a highly accessible, practical, method for growth that involves cross-functional teams and continuous testing and iteration. Hacking Growth does for market-share growth what The Lean Startup does for product development and Business Model Generation does for strategy. Hacking Growth focuses on customers - how to attain them, retain them, engage them and monetize them - rather than product.
Written by the method's pioneers, this book is a comprehensive toolkit or "bible" that any company in any industry can use to implement their own Growth Hacking strategy, from how to set up and run growth teams to how to identify and test growth levers and how to evaluate and act on the results. It is designed for any company or leader looking to break out of the ruts of traditional marketing and become more collaborative and less wasteful and achieve more consistent, replicable and data-driven results.
Critic Reviews
"A must-read for anyone in business. " (James Currier, managing partner, NFX Guild)

I really liked the content in the book, but I'm not sure it lends that well to the audio performance. It felt like a substantial part of the book was the reading of lists in a monotonic voice, so maybe better with the written book instead.

the only question that I'm left asking myself is why some companies that experiment like hell don't grow while others that don't have a growth team do. i guess that are thousands of reasons why, but it would've been nice to explore some examples.
