On: Ask HN: How does a dev become a growth hacker?

[cpersona]

Any disclosures required or are you just a happy user?

[rcavezza → cpersona]

No disclosures to make. I wouldn't say I'm a happy user, but I use those sites the same way I use HN.

I think of them as Hacker News for marketing. Inbound.org is run by Hubspot and Sean Ellis runs Growth Hackers.

inbound seems a bit suspicious, but the other link seems legit

[cblock811 → k__]

Inbound is pretty well known. I havent looked at their content in years so I dont know if it's any good these days but it is legit.

growthackers seems a bit more suspicious to me - feels like a product hunt-esque crowd. I read both with a (large) grain of salt, must admit I haven't been on growthackers for a long time.

/r/juststart is good to read for for practical examples. blackhatworld is good too - I would go to the source of good information (SEO, Affiliate forums - peoeple who actually own products that need growthacking rather than consultants) instead of "thought leadership" forums
