Concrete tactics and tricks that drive immediate growth
A comprehensive deep dive into the mathematics and psychology of referral programmes and viral growth. From K-factor calculations to viral cycle time, two-sided incentives, network effects versus viral effects, referral psychology, Jonah Berger's STEPPS framework, and NPS as a growth predictor. Includes Python code for modelling viral growth and measuring programme effectiveness.
A comprehensive deep dive into the psychology of social proof and trust in marketing and product design. From the six types of social proof to review psychology, authority signals, trust stacking, reciprocity, and herd behaviour. Includes when each strategy works (and when it backfires), research from Spiegel and Baymard Institute, and Python code for measuring effectiveness.
A comprehensive deep dive into the psychology of scarcity, urgency, and loss aversion in marketing and product design. From Cialdini's scarcity principle to the endowment effect and IKEA effect. Includes when each strategy works (and when it destroys trust), how to measure effectiveness with data science, and Python code for experimentation.
A comprehensive deep dive into 18 lesser-known but highly effective psychology principles for conversion and retention. From goal-gradient acceleration and temporal landmarks to identity-based marketing, implementation intentions, foot-in-the-door, labour illusion, operational transparency, defaults as nudges, status games, sunk cost retention, social comparison, reactance, and risk reversal. Includes research data, Python code for measuring impact, and practical implementation strategies backed by academic literature.
