@CMIContent
A1. Observation: “Growth hacking” is jargon. Whatever it is meant to mean is overtaken by how “hipster” sounding it is. Bad #comms #cmworld
@jgombita
@SujanPatel thoughts? MT @jgombita A1. Observation: “Growth hacking” is jargon. #cmworld
@CMIContent
A1: I think that growth hacking is anything that helps you achieve your goals quicker, cheaper and better. #cmworld
@ideakid88
@jgombita I agree with you there. Growth hacking is just a fancy new term for a familiar concept. #cmworld
@eCopyDesk
a1 #CMWorld – This is a real good question… seeing different definitions!!
@T4Leonard
I know #hacks from lifestyle perspective, have covered them (lawn hacks, holiday hacks, travel hacks, money hacks) but not content #cmworld
@suddenlyfrugal
I have to say I tend to agree… #CMWorld https://twitter.com/jgombita/status/666664491539648513
@MaelRoth
Did someone say growth hacking? Glad I was able to drop by! #cmworld
@danielerossi

@sujanpatel
You learn this. Experiment , rinse and repeat and you’re sure to come up with the right process #cmworld
@eCopyDesk
MT @jgombita: A1. Observation: “Growth hacking” is jargon. Whatever it is meant to mean is overtaken by how “hipster” .. Bad #comms #cmworld
@ega1
Best answer! #CMWorld https://twitter.com/jgombita/status/666664491539648513
@netvantage
Sounds like how I’ve approached blogging since 2007! #CMWorld https://twitter.com/BrookeHowell/status/666664858524524544
@suddenlyfrugal
A2b I then prioritize the ideas by the potential impact & least time needed to execute #CMWorld
@sujanpatel
I would also say, it’s really about efficiency. About streamlining your content creation. #CMWorld
@MaureenOnPoint
@danielerossi woo hoo! #cmworld

@LUCYrk78
A2. Analytics! Use data to make your decisions. #CMWorld
@revaminkoff
There’s truth to that. But as w/ lumping all content marketing in w/ snake oil, not fair to overgeneralize. #cmworld https://twitter.com/jgombita/status/666664491539648513
@carmenhill
@eCopyDesk but what is the “familiar concept?” (as quite frankly I am NOT familiar with it. And I’m hardly a stupid person). #cmworld
@jgombita
Q2: Previous knowledge and experience along with testing. What works for one client might not work well for another. #cmworld
@netvantage
A2 A/B testing of processes, check the system integration w/ your requirements #CMWorld https://twitter.com/CMIContent/status/666664872285892609
@varunkr842

@JeremyBednarski
I did a presentation called Bacon marketing that talks about streamlining content creation. http://www.slideshare.net/MaureenJann/bacon-marketingv2 #CMWorld
@MaureenOnPoint
@jgombita the familiar concept is to write content and get traffic to it. This is what content marketers and growth hackers do #cmworld
@eCopyDesk
A2: Simple: use what works and dump that which is not! Just remember that failure is not the end; not trying is. #cmworld
@ideakid88
A1. Growth hacking is much abused term for setting up short cuts that are cheap to free #CMWorld
@micadam
From a writer’s perspective today’s hacks = yesterday’s tips and tricks, whatever they may be. #CMWorld
@suddenlyfrugal
A2) Test various content at different times. Look at your data to see what’s working. #CMWorld
@torriegundersen
@carmenhill I am mystified as to where/how/when I “lump[ed] all content marketing in w/ snake oil.” Let alone “overgeneralize[d]. #cmworld
@jgombita
A2) Know your audience! #CMWorld https://twitter.com/CMIContent/status/666664872285892609
@Serious_Vanity
A2: The processes for content growth hacking aren’t exclusively inside-out. UX functionality plays a big role, too. #cmworld
@pisarose
Mmmmmm bacon…. #CMWorld https://twitter.com/MaureenOnPoint/status/666665661381365760
@suddenlyfrugal
A2: look at your MKTG tech stack & figure out where you have gaps & what tech to leverage to help you do more with less #CMWORLD
@Fawzy_Aya
Q2:I try new processes and vendors and systems all the time. Rule of thumb I use is: if it doesn’t make things easier get rid of it #CMWorld
@MaureenOnPoint
A2: Monitor, analyze & documenting. Learn from previous efforts & shift priorities when something is working. #CMWorld
@CrysWiltshire
@CMIContent A2: Decide what your main goal is and go from there! #CMWorld
@ExperianDQSteph
Is there a fee for this webinar? @JeremyBednarski @pr2020 @paulroetzer #CMWorld
@suddenlyfrugal
a2 #CMWorld -. Analytics give us insight to making better subjective judgment calls.
@T4Leonard
Have to say @eCopyDesk if that is the case, growth hackers do NOT know how to “communicate clearly” #cmworld https://twitter.com/eCopyDesk/status/666665689990631427
@jgombita
Experimentation is key! A/B tests, various audiences, usability, etc. You don’t know until you test! #CMWorld https://twitter.com/CMIContent/status/666664872285892609
@BetsyDaitch
@suddenlyfrugal @pr2020 @paulroetzer Nope, it’s free! #CMWorld
@JeremyBednarski
A1: #GrowthHacking is being mindful of audience + tuning into analytics. #CMWorld
@danielleadairz
@jgombita sounds like you have had a bad marketing experience #cmworld
@eCopyDesk
Q2. Look at your sales cycle & metrics for success. What could be high impact, fast growth for one might be long for others. #cmworld
@carmenhill
Exactly. It has to be a right fit for the strategy. As trends change, so too might the processes & tools. #CMWorld https://twitter.com/MaureenOnPoint/status/666665976491020288
@gShiftLabs
@BetsyDaitch 🙌🏻 #CMWorld
@torriegundersen
@T4Leonard Analytics is a major contributor for good decision making. As is keyword research to ensure searchable content. #cmworld
@MaureenOnPoint
When everyone talks about successful content strategies, it’s the collection of assets, not any one that provides strategic value. #CMWorld
@ArrenHPark
@CMIContent Sorry for the shameless plug, but you kind of set me up for it…lol. #CMWorld
@JeremyBednarski
I believe that’s true for most uses of the word “hack” @micadam — short cuts that are cheap to free. #CMWorld
@suddenlyfrugal
A3: Our key KPI is: Our we reaching our goals? #CMWorld
@SueBrady
Unsure where you got idea from @eCopyDesk. I simply think it is #contentmarketing “conventional wisdom” to think term well known #cmworld
@jgombita
Exactly! Continuous improvements are a must. #CMWorld https://twitter.com/CrysWiltshire/status/666665975845150720

@karrabarron
A2) We analyze what’s working and explore how we can make a bigger impact with it on a larger scale. Also follow successful co’s. #cmworld
@CrowdContent
A3 Most people over complicate this one. I keep it simple: #CMWorld
@sujanpatel
A2:Identify which audience you reach on each platform and A/B test content on those sites. @CMIContent #CMWorld
@JS_insidepitch
@JeremyBednarski with friends like you and @paulroetzer, we’re happy you did it! #cmworld
@CMIContent
@T4Leonard Analytics are a help, as long as we don’t become automated dashboard zombies. http://ow.ly/ULpxY #cmworld
@pisarose
A2: #growthhacking is all about analytics to me. But smart analytics, not vanity metrics. #CMWorld
@danielleadairz
For us, content downloads should improve KPIs which should ultimately improve the revenue goals. #CMWorld
@MaureenOnPoint
A3b Measure branded search volume using Google Search Consule, sales or customers by direct & branded search #CMWorld
@sujanpatel
Analytics and testing are the key to it all. Use a combo of @googleanalytics and @hotjar and you should be all set #cmworld
@eCopyDesk
[email protected] Valid point, but “Resistance is futile” — here in Silicon Valley, people love growth-hacking #CMworld
@AnneJanzer
@T4Leonard Thanks! I aim for professionally silly as my personal brand! ha-ha #offtopic #CMWorld
@MaureenOnPoint
A3b I’m never satisfied. Brand growth can always happen faster #CMWorld
@sujanpatel
So @AnneJanzer if Silicon Valley says it is so, the rest of the #contentmarketing world must weakly abide? #cmworld https://twitter.com/AnneJanzer/status/666666388530987008
@jgombita
@eCopyDesk what’s the most insightful test you’ve run so far? #cmworld https://twitter.com/eCopyDesk/status/666665327321866240
@karrabarron
A3 Compare results w/ your goals. #CMWorld https://twitter.com/CMIContent/status/666666368591224832
@varunkr842
A3. Make sure you have a clear measurement stick. Many brands have no zero measurement point either – so growth is hard to see #CMWorld
@micadam
A3c fast enough? I’m never satisfied. Brand growth can always happen faster #CMWorld
@sujanpatel
@CMIContent A3: By focusing on the data and analytics! Retention, virility, etc. #cmworld
@ExperianDQSteph
A3: Data. What are you trying to accomplish and what data can you use to measure that goal. #cmworld
@netvantage
MT @CMIContent: Q3: How do you know if your brand is growing in the ways/rate it needs to on the marketing side of things? #CMWorld
@ShakirahDawud
@karrabarron In part, I’m always on the lookout for audience questions and ways to tie content to news & trends. #cmworld
@BrookeHowell
Thanks @JeremyBednarski @pr2020 @paulroetzer Suggestion? Put your CTA for webinar on top & more obvious. Had to scroll to find link #CMWorld
@suddenlyfrugal
A3: Analytics will show you how your marketing is doing and increasing sales will confirm its success. #cmworld
@ideakid88
A3) Every brand is different. Set goals by researching competition + testing content. #CMWorld
@torriegundersen
A3. Define what growth really means to you, the company and the brand #CMWorld – much overlooked thus making for fluffy measurement #CMWorld
@micadam
A3: @CMIContent By setting up measurables for the marketing department that coincide with the sales/business side. #CMWorld
@ToddPatton
A3d More on brand measurement here: http://www.kaushik.net/avinash/brand-measurement-analytics-metrics-branding-campaigns/ #CMWorld

Not at all, @jgombita – but some battles are hard to win. The OED’s word of the year for 2015 is an emoji. #cmworld
@AnneJanzer
You’ve got probs if you aren’t sure! 🙂 Always be testing and analyzing against your goals/KPIs #cmworld https://twitter.com/CMIContent/status/666666368591224832
@LUCYrk78
@pisarose “If it was all about analytics, a blind person could drive” ~rel #cmworld #quote “No Vision Required”.
@T4Leonard
@AnneJanzer Silicone Valley (mainly) young, male, Caucasian engineers also been accused of designing for self not general populace #cmworld
@jgombita
@MaureenOnPoint @SFerika I was wondering the same thing 😉 I hear about walking meetings at some workplaces – very cool #cmworld
@lindadessau
A3: Set measurable goals & tie them to the strategy. Look at metrics, which actually matter & forget the vanity data. #CMWorld
@CrysWiltshire
Indeed but you need a clear Zero measurement #CMWorld https://twitter.com/netvantage/status/666666900261236736
@micadam
A3: Your brand is growing in the right ways (marketing-wise) when your most engaging content adheres to personas & use cases. #cmworld
@pisarose
@MaureenOnPoint This one is standing as in recurring every Tuesday, but have had many literally standing meetings in the past. 😉 #cmworld
@SFerika
A3: Plain and simple: Your stakeholder are happy! Good leads & positive feedback from prospects. #CMWorld https://twitter.com/CMIContent/status/666666368591224832
@BetsyDaitch
A3: Measure and compare what matters to your brand (leads/customers/revenue) – it all boils down to the bottom-line. @CMIContent #CMWorld
@amitykapadia
@ToddPatton Agreed! it doesn’t count unless it’s serving the business. Not enough time in the day to create “fluff” #CMWorld
@MaureenOnPoint
danielleadairz : A2: #growthhacking is all about analytics to me. But smart analytics, not vanity metrics. #CMWorld
@GrowthBible
@karrabarron a CTA button copy test I ran was insightful. I ran one on the contact page that showed me leaks on my website #cmworld #cmworld
@eCopyDesk
Translate you business goals into real measurable social goals #CMWorld https://twitter.com/ToddPatton/status/666667140007596032
@micadam
A3: In the end it always comes down to sales + reaching business goals. #CMWorld
@danielleadairz
@lindadessau @MaureenOnPoint I used to do walking meetings for some of my 1:1s. It’s a nice break from the office. #cmworld
@SFerika
@carmenhill I would question what is the value of a concept the majority of the populace doesn’t get instinctively? #cmworld
@jgombita
A3: I think when people start becoming advocates, and marketing on your behalf, the dominos have started falling #CMWorld
@EvanLePage
A3: Metrics – are you measuring your KPI’s and progress towards your business goals? #CMWorld https://twitter.com/CMIContent/status/666666368591224832
@JeremyBednarski
A3:KPIs. Are you engaging people. Are you developing new audience & brand loyalists? You know if you interact regularly @CMIContent #cmworld
@JS_insidepitch
@SFerika Hehehe I couldn’t help myself. We have a literal standing meeting at 9am #CMWorld
@MaureenOnPoint
A3. What matters to any brand is Revenue and Marging (shareholder return) – all the rest is just secondary measurements #CMWorld
@micadam
A3 There’s never a shortage of analytics you can look at, and I’d suggest always measuring against goals to see how you stand #cmworld
@LUCYrk78
@SFerika @MaureenOnPoint Nice #cmworld
@lindadessau
[email protected] Yes – sexism in tech (and beyond) is a battle definitely worth fighting! #CMworld
@AnneJanzer
A1. (sort of) Growth hacking ≠ content marketing. There’s more to it than that. #CMWorld
@carmenhill
Standing only meetings are also very productive #CMWorld https://twitter.com/SFerika/status/666667419486810113
@micadam
@suddenlyfrugal @pr2020 @paulroetzer Thanks for the feedback, Leah. We’ll take a look at it. #CMWorld
@JeremyBednarski
a3 #CMWorld – too many different possibilities here. Investors, ROI, or my favorite, “It feels good”.
@T4Leonard
A3) Marketing and sales are closely tied with us. If sales goals are being met, it means that marketing is growing appropriately. #CMWorld
@CrowdContent
@carmenhill how did you do that doesn’t equal sign?! #cmworld
@LUCYrk78
#A2 Define the goals, define the audience, select the most relevant processes, and test to see what works best. Rinse and repeat. #CMWorld
@OhstenMarketing
Agreed! Exactly what we’re helping companies do @Ambassador. #CMWorld https://twitter.com/EvanLePage/status/666667463401185280
@ToddPatton
A3: Set your goals. Figure out what KPIs you want to track against. Work backwards from that goal. If you meet it you are on track #CMWORLD
@Fawzy_Aya
@CrowdContent Yup! It’s one swoop from the moment a lead hits our systems all the way through closed opportunity. #CMWorld
@MaureenOnPoint
@BrookeHowell of course. That’s when prioritization and process come in play #cmworld
@sujanpatel
@MaelRoth then why not call it that?! Or “strategic” (why and what) content marketing? c @netvantage #cmworld
@jgombita
A4 make a habit of questioning everything. Why did a work and not b? How can I get b to work as well as a? #cmworld
@eCopyDesk

@T4Leonard
A4: Pretty simple. Listen to what people are asking, and provide solutions and answers. That’s the best content. #cmworld
@JS_insidepitch
@eCopyDesk @sujanpatel Very true. However, sometimes a positive image can come from how you handle negativity in outreach. #CMWorld
