1/ The Hierarchy of Engagement by @sarahtavel
A framework for sustainable growth: (1) users completing the core action (2) accruing benefits and mounting losses to drive retention (3) virtuous loop by which user engagement fuels future growth. https://medium.com/@sarahtavel/the-hierarchy-of-engagement-expanded-648329d60804">https://medium.com/@sarahtav...

2/ Growth Loops are the New Funnels by @bbalfour @onecaseman @kevinakwok @andrewchen

3/ Product Channel Fit by @bbalfour
Distribution follows a power law: most products get >70% of growth from a single channel: virality, paid marketing, sales, or content/SEO. To win, a product must be built to be highly competitive in a given channel. https://brianbalfour.com/essays/product-channel-fit-for-growth">https://brianbalfour.com/essays/pr...

4/ Startups are Cheaper to Build, but More Expensive to Grow by @andewchen

5/ Increase Funnel Conversion with Psych by @dariusmc

6/ Conversion of Intent by @andrewchen
It& #39;s hard to influence a user& #39;s intent simply by optimizing some step in the funnel, which is why the impact of A/B tests often doesn& #39;t fall to the bottom line.

9/ A Single-Minded Perspective on Growth by @ibringtraffic
