Tactical growth hacking playbook — rapid experimentation, growth loops, viral mechanics, referral flywheels, PLG hacks, content-led growth loops, community-driven growth, and low-cost acquisition tactics for B2B SaaS. Based on Sean Ellis, Brian Balfour, Andrew Chen, and Reforge frameworks. Use when designing growth experiments, building growth loops, or finding low-cost acquisition channels.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Growth Hacking Tactics

## Overview

Growth hacking isn't "one weird trick to 10x your users." It's a systematic
approach to finding and scaling the highest-leverage growth levers through
rapid experimentation. The mistake: copying tactics without understanding
the underlying growth model. A tactic that works for a consumer social app
(viral invite loop) will fail for enterprise SaaS (sales motion). This skill
covers growth loops, viral mechanics, referral flywheels, PLG hacks, and the
experimentation framework to find what works for YOUR product.

## When to Use

Trigger phrases: "growth hacking", "growth loops", "viral growth", "growth
experiment", "referral flywheel", "growth tactics", "low-cost acquisition",
"PLG growth hack", "how to grow faster", "growth model"

## Authoritative Foundations

### Brian Balfour — Growth Loops vs Funnels
Funnels are linear: acquire → activate → retain → revenue → refer. Loops
are circular: the OUTPUT of one cycle becomes the INPUT of the next. Growth
loops compound. Funnels don't. Every great growth company has a dominant
growth loop.

### Sean Ellis — Hacking Growth Process

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add leadmagic/gtm-skills/growth-hacking-tactics@sha256:39b56f76b13a6c72

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
