Having been a buzzword since 2010, growth hacking can loosely be defined as getting customers and keeping them via various digital marketing tactics - like blogs, value creating social posts, SEO and more.
Between the lines, that means figuring out what tactics work and then doubling down on them to achieve sustainable growth.
You’d be forgiven for assuming growth hacking would be of more use to a SAAS or startup with lots of moving parts - rather than a creative based freelancing business.
But with all the automation involved in a SAAS and the hands to the deck of a startup, that should mean growth hacking is less needed than it would be by freelancers.
As creatives, freelancers wear many hats to cover all the bases like admin, sales, producing work, and of course marketing.
In my own freelancing endeavors I wouldn’t really do any marketing as I would ride on the advertising reach and user base of the freelancing platforms I was offering work on - like Fiverr, and PeoplePerHour. It was them that brought eyes to my services. Falling fowl of their algorithms and going it alone, I quickly realized that neglecting marketing was a big, big mistake.
To stop making the same mistakes, click on the following easy to implement, easy to execute growth marketing maneuvers and resources.
The tactics won’t cost you anything but a little of your time - and will help your business to grow and make you a better freelancer.
