Podcast appearances and mentions of vincent dignan

Today’s guest is the self styled Jesus Christ Superstar of the organic viral growth world, Vincent Dignan. He puts the M in Millennial, the G in Growth and the WTF in Fashion. A man who very much practices what he preaches, and a true obsessive for the American personal branding school of thought - he knows that to stand out, you have to really stand out. And he does this to perfection. In his own words - his mission is to help as many founders and companies grow in the fastest way possible using bespoke techniques, tactics and software most people don’t know about. Whilst his over sharing and very un-British attitude towards self promotion doesn’t resonate with everyone - it’s categorically impossible to ignore Vincent once you’ve made contact, and underneath all the outfits and image is simply a guy interested to see how he can help others succeed with the knowledge he’s accumulated. From living off benefits to touring the West Coast inspiring young entrepreneurs and makers how to build an audience, Vincent’s life has gone from rags to riches in very little time, and should be viewed as an inspiration that anyone with a strong work ethic, positive attitude and most importantly, the self belief and confidence in what makes you unique and interesting is your pathway to success.

Vin has launched two websites that got to over a million visitors a month, got into the Techstars accelerator, was voted best talk at SXSW V2V 2016. His debut book/course "Secret Sauce: A step-by-step guide to growth hacking" has raised hundreds of thousands via crowdfunding and he joins us on todays show to tell us how he is able to grow early-stage companies through a combination of rapid social media growth, guerrilla community management tactics, and growth hacks which have seen companies go from zero to thousands of signups/followers/users virtually overnight. I'm also joined by Rob Manley who recently appeared on Dragon's Den and secured investment from Deborah Meaden for his glow in the dark t-shirts.

According to growth hacker Vin Clancy, the American dream is alive and well. He’s all for this ecosystem that helps you get ahead, and spells out specific ways we can grow our brands successfully. From content creation to email marketing, Vin (formerly Vincent Dignan) shares his perspective on the most important social media platforms, the right way to do email marketing, what every public speaker does wrong, and why you don’t need to be a growth hacker - you just need to answer the questions people are asking.

He's an entrepreneur, he's a speaker, he's a growth hacker, he's Vincent Dignan. Whether it's digital marketing or his unique stylish wardrop, he knows how to make a splash. As mentioned on his website, Vincent helps early-stage companies through a combination of rapid social media growth, guerrilla community management tactics, and growth hacks which have seen companies go from zero to thousands of signups/followers/users virtually overnight- so “hacking” is his speciality. Early in his career he launched 2 digital magazines that got over 1,000,000 visitors per month and from that point on people wanted to know his secret sauce. Vincent went from digital magazine to growth-hacker at that point. He founded Planet Ivy and Screen Robot. They received nearly 20 million page views without any paid marketing spend. His first book was released with a bang on Indiegogo and has raised over $100,000. It offers some incredible insights for growth. In the book Vincent shares a story he created for a marketing play on Indiegogo that allowed him to narrow down who he is talking to and where to find that audience type. It's powerful stuff. On a personal note, I came across Vincent and his work during Neil Patel's Virtual Summit which led me to reach out and connect for this interview.

“Anything that requires effort normally means I haven't thought it through that well"   I’ve said this in every episode, and I’ll say it again. Your success in crowdfunding is directly related to the size and engagement of your audience when you launch There is no getting around this fact. For most people looking to start campaigns that I talk to, the fear of building an audience seems to be the number one thing holding them back. That is why I brought Vincent Dignan on the show. Vincent is the author of the new book, Secret Sauce: The Ultimate Guide To Growth Hacking and Marketing. “Growth Hacking” has become so ubiquitous to almost become meaningless these days, so I will let the results do the talking: 3 Startups Millions of pageviews for his and client businesses Appeared on Inc.com and Huffington Post To Vincent, Growth Hacking is about finding creative ways to use small actions to get outsized rewards. And there is no better time to growth hack then when you have limited funding and are building your audience in the prelaunch phase of your campaign. This episode is wall to wall with actionable information. You will learn: How a simple “thank you” can set you apart from your competition and create raving fans If everyone is doing it, it probably means it’s very difficult and should be avoided at all costs How public speaking beats networking 9.9 times out of 10 for growing your business How to launch without any press whatsoever The number 1 mistake people make when Growth Hacking Why you can tell people everything you know and they will still hire you Show Notes: Secret Sauce on Kickstarter Magnific Vincent on Twitter queueat.com rawshorts.com
