Try varying the location of your CTA button, making some CTAs more prominent than others. 2. Test multiple CTAs per page against one CTA per page. 3. Try using hyperlinks instead of buttons to find out which display your users prefer. 4. Find out if CTAs with text, icons, or text + icons convert more users on your site. 5. Try stripping the content off of your entire page. Replace it with a “Click Here for Free Beer!” button. 6. Test different CTA hover states to make it more obvious that buttons are clickable and create a feel of interactivity on the page. 7. Test different colors, shapes, and sizes for CTA buttons on your website. 8. Test gated content against non-gated content.

Be careful • There is no point in scaling if you have not reached product/market fit (Sean Ellis recommends 40% of users should be “very disappointed to lose your tool) • Some growth hacks are NOT sustainable so only apply to very early stages • The term “Growth Hacking” is used for everything and anything nowadays • It doesn’t really matter what you call it as long as it brings growth!
