The course is overall pretty weak. The title about growth hacking actually doesn't cover many of the growth hacking principles, not once testing and iterating, experimenting and GH methodology were mentioned. Besides that, the content is superficial and outdated.

A good short course. Straight to the point, catchy and some good insights that can be replicated to any business. Not an in-depth course on growth hackings or the methods behind growth hacking techniques but some real-life examples and insights that worked for them. Some examples are a bit old (websites no longer exist) but value remains.

Great content, structured and broken down into smaller chunks. Makes the content very easily digestible and keeps the focus of the audience. Particularly useful, that every discussed strategy and tactic are explained and showcased by specific examples.

Excellent set of principles! I'm impressed. The only thing I'd like to suggest is, to include the latest research. This course seems to have developed around 4 to 5 years back. In the current rapidly changing era, we need to remain updated, always! Nonetheless, five stars from me for the awesome work! - Best Aamir www.webdoodling.com

Overall, this course was very quick, fun and to the point. It covers many topics, and has a good breath. The author is very adapt at getting to the point in very memorable ways and many of his lessons stick. Its a great course for a beginner who knows very little about Growth Hacking. On the flip side, most of this info is well known and circa 2012. There is very little depth and no actionable items. Lesson 1 is all about Hustling, yet there is no action orientation in this course.

I'm currently the Director of Marketing for a social media start-up, and HypeBomb was my first UDemy purchase! I highly recommend both this and the Startup Matrix course to get you on the right track with vetting and implementing your marketing and user acquisition efforts.

The course was really informative. It definitely helped open my mind up to a different way of thinking in todays world of marketing and self promoting. The information is easily understood, clear, and precise. Bronson Taylor makes a lot of good points, and I think anyone looking to launch their own startup should tune into what he has to say in this course.

Well-differentiated, well-organised and highly dynamic presentation style; unique insights from unusual perspectives. There is plenty here to stimulate thinking and lead to radically different positioning for a start-up business. Highly recommended

The course is not bad but rather a good one. However, it didn't go over what i expected it to go through. i would have given it a 1 rating but the fact that the conclusion stated that all the tricks included were the one that worked for iconify as a startup were mentioned. Other stuff could have worked for other startups too but they were not included because they did not fit into iconify's working model.

This is a great course. Some of the ideas are common sense but it's the delivery of Bronson Taylor that really adds value for me. His energy and use of relevant examples really drive his points home. As a co-founder of a startup, I am very that glad I stumbled across this lesson, as I am now packed with far more ammunition to grow my following.
