The 27 Best
Growth Hacking
Tools of 2016
wishpond
Email
Marketing
Mailchimp
Mailchimp's simple and free email platform is the go-to tool for more than 10 million
marketers.
The platform's users send more than 600 million emails a day, and you can see why.
Mailchimp's simple automation, segmentation and targeting are enough for many entry-
level growth hackers. The report function is also helpful in optimizing your email marketing
campaigns over time.
Current Pricing Structure (as of March 8th, 2016):
wishpond
1
Aweber offers a bit more than Mailchimp in a few places, primarily a stronger automated
email functionality (including auto-responder follow-up) and better sign up forms.
I've also found their campaign function to be more intuitive if you're looking to combine
email marketing with a lead generation campaign (for instance).
Current Pricing Structure (as of March 8th, 2016):
Aweber2 wishpond
If Aweber offers a bit more power than Mailchimp, Emma offers a bit more than Aweber.
Emma actually gets us into a bit of the more developer-friendly email platforms (so stop at
Aweber if you're just starting out).
Emma makes it easy to automate email campaigns, segment based on data stored inside of
an integrated CRM, and heavy personalization using dynamic content (very cool).
Current Pricing Structure (as of March 8th, 2016):
Emma3 wishpond
One step up from Emma is Customer.io, which is a very developer-friendly platform (in as
much as it's almost difficult to use if you don't have a developer handy). This is actually the
platform Wishpond used before we started using our own email tool.
Customer.io has a great user profile functionality (allowing you to see individual actions of
individual contacts). It's very HTML-friendly and very integration-friendly, meaning "you can
start sending emails based on what people do or don't do after they log in to your
software/website."
Current Pricing Structure (as of March 8th, 2016):
Customer IO4 wishpond
Social Media
Buffer has been Wishpond's go-to social media platform for years now, and they're the
most solid tool we've seen in a very competitive market.
Buffer enables you to collate your social profiles into one place which means you can share
the same piece of content quickly and easily across all of them. Their analytics dashboard (if
you upgrade to "Awesome or go with a Business plan) is also extremely detailed and
helpful.
Current Pricing Structure (as of March 8th, 2016):

wishpond
Pablo (from Buffer) is my favorite recent social post creator tool. The platform is super
intuitive, and, while perhaps not quite as powerful as other similar tools, helps you design
and share images quickly.
Pablo is currently free.
Other notable social share design tools include, but are not
limited to...
Canva
Picmonkey
Liveluvcreate
Pinstamatic
Pablo
Powtoon
Evernote's Skitch
Easel.ly
Visme

wishpond
So RebelMouse is primarily cool because it does what a lot of content curation/aggregation
tools do, simply and powerfully. It's also integrated a straightforward CMS element which is
really strong.
I also like that it has a great mobile app which makes it easy to access and share curated
(and original) content on the fly.
Current Pricing Structure (as of March 8th, 2016):
Contact the RebelMouse team for pricing (not available on their site).

wishpond
Nuzzel is a really cool (though largely unknown) content curation tool which is focused on
the content most interesting to your social network. It aggregates stories, articles and
images from your social media followers and then filters by the most popular content or
whichever was shared most recently.
Nuzzel is great, particularly on Twitter, because it enables you to follow stories and get
valuable insight into what content your Followers like - giving you more confidence to
create content similar to it.
Current Pricing Structure (as of March 8th, 2016):
Nuzzel is currently free.

wishpond
Postplanner, beyond the somewhat straightforward social media management of Buffer
(and Hootsuite, for that matter), offers a very helpful content curation element. Postplanner
makes it easy to consolidate your own profiles as well as every social profile related to your
business, allowing you to see (and share and schedule) the most interesting content your
audience might find interesting.
Postplanner Bonus: I also love that Postplanner app has the Canva platform built right into
it. Nice little perk right there…

Marketing
Automation
What am I gonna do? Pretend we don't have a marketing automation platform?
Marketing automation is the #1 most cost-effective tool for professional marketers with a
bit of budget, and it's far simpler than it was even a year ago.
Automating your lead generation, lead nurturing and lead management processes can save
you hundreds of hours a month…
● Automate email nurturing campaigns which turn generated leads into qualified sales
prospects.
● Automate the sales process with lead scoring, customer relationship tracking and
workflows as complicated or simple as you like.
● Retain customers through automated loyalty campaigns and easy segmentation.
Wishpond is also integrated with many of the awesome tools in this slidedeck. See our
Integrations Page for the complete list.

Browser
Plugins
Eye Dropper and the next tool, Nimbus Screenshot, are my most-frequently used plugins.
Eye Dropper enables you to pick any color off of a webpage, providing you with the hex
code, rgb, hsl and official name of that color. It also stores your recently "dropped" colors
for as long as you ask it too. This makes it super easy to keep your brand's hexcodes
around for easy access, or steal a color you like from someone else's site.
Growth hackers take a lot of screenshots - the constant messiness of my desktop can attest
to that.
So we need a good screenshot tool, and of course the one built into my Mac or your PC isn't
going to cut it. You need to capture part of a page, scroll and capture, easily capture one
element, edit, and save as whatever file type you like.
Nimbus gives you all that and more.

SEOQuake has replaced both my Alexa plugin and my PageRank plugin, as it does both. It
also has the added benefit of highlighting nofollow links (if I tell it to), display keyword
densities and compare one site's search optimization to that of another.
SEOQuake is my go-to plugin for SEO.
While I don't look at Ghostery every single day, I like to have it watching my back.
The plugin allows me to see any and all trackers, pixels, bugs and beacons that are on the
webpages I visit. This informs my own growth hacking strategies, as in "what is my
competitor doing with tracking and remarketing that I'm not?"
I also like that Ghostery allows me to choose how and when I want to be tracked. As they
say "a personalized digital experience is great, but shouldn’t you be in control of who’s
tracking you?"
SEOQuake

LastPass stores passwords for you. So long as you remember your "master password" all
the others are securely stored in the plugin. Initially this was a bit scary for me, but they
have extensive security systems in place and are constantly helping me ensure my
passwords are secure.
Another cool element of LastPass is that it allows you to share passwords with colleagues
securely. There's no point in all 40 of us having a different account for our analytics
platform (especially as we all want to see the same reports and funnels), so using only a few
accounts and sharing the passwords securely is super helpful.
Current Pricing Structure (as of March 8th, 2016):
LastPass

wishpond
Sniply allows you to send people to your site or blog via content you share on social media.
There are three main elements of Sniply:
1. Owned Content. Sharing your own blog posts? Easily attach call-to-actions on screen
without making changes to the page itself.
2. Earned Media. Got featured in a publication? Share the link with your call-to-action so
that readers can engage with your brand.
3. Curated Links. Promoting someone else's content? Get recognized for your referral
by including a message for your followers.
They also have an A/B testing function which makes it simple to split test your CTAs.

PushBullet has largely replaced EverNote for me (though I still have lasting affection for
Evernote). PushBullet is a bit simpler - allowing me to send text messages to friends directly
from my computer and easily send links and files to my devices and those of my contacts.
Essentially, I use Google Drive sharing for interoffice files and PushBullet for interoffice and
external link sharing.

Sales
Funnel
One of our most recent software adoptions, our sales team is raving about Pipedrive this
month. Pipedrive does the standard Sales CRM stuff very well. They have the visual sales
pipeline , lead organization (including filters), sales forecasting and a solid mobile app.
But more than that they're super intuitive and super easy to set up. Once you've done the
initial setup though though, customization (including turning off features) is easy as well.
Current Pricing Structure (as of March 8th, 2016):
Pipedrive is $12/user/month.
Pipedrive18 wishpond
A little bit up the pricing scale from Pipedrive, Base has the number-one mobile sales app -
enabling you to keep up with your leads, funnels and reporting on the go, they also have a
great reporting tool and extensive integration possibilities.
Current Pricing Structure (as of March 8th, 2016):
Base19 wishpond
Insightly is a great starter sales CRM tool. It has a heavy incorporation of email (including
pretty good templates) and 250MB of data storage in the free plan.
You'll also get Dropbox and Quickbooks integrations, which are pretty cool if you use those
platforms.
Current Pricing Structure (as of March 8th, 2016):

Zapier is the answer to "But your software isn't integrated to the platform I currently use!
How can I make this work?"
Zapier is currently integrated with more than 500 software providers. If you integrate with
it, you get access to all 500.
Let me give you a few Zapier use-cases…
● Wishpond + Zapier + Slack:
Send a direct message when a lead visits a web page multiple times.
● Wishpond + Zapier + Gmail:
Send emails from Gmail when someone converts on your Wishpond landing page, popup,
form, or contest.
● Wishpond + Zapier + Stripe:
Add new Stripe customers to a customer list in Wishpond.

Data, which most of us think of as one of the most boring subjects out there, often inspires
the most passion.
Segment gives you data - complete, comprehensive website data in one place and with
minimal fuss. And, of course, data is a massive part of growth hacking. Unless you know
what you're currently doing and how, you can't possibly know how to hack it.
Once you have your initial growth hacking strategies set up (using the other 26 tools in this
list), come back to Segment and start talking data.

Segment

wishpond
SurveyMonkey makes it easy to get incredibly valuable insight from your contacts, leads and
merchants. Their survey tool embeds easily into email clients and makes responding not
just easy, but appealing.
More recently, however, SurveyMonkey has launched their "Audience" feature, which gives
your company access to a huge number of willing survey recipients who aren't your
customers. You can create a custom audience (similar to Facebook Ads) so you can be sure
you're reaching people similar to your prospective customers. This gives you an
understanding of your audience, and is a great strategy before launching any large update,
new software or even a new growth hacking strategy.
Current Pricing Structure (as of March 8th, 2016):
Survey Monkey
23
wishpond
GoToWebinar is the chief webinar tool out there, and for good reason.
When you're talking webinars you want a couple primary things…
1. You want your webinar to run without technological issues.
2. You want your webinar tool to be integrated easily with your lead generation
and CRM (otherwise what's the point?)
GoToWebinar has both, solidly and consistently.
Current Pricing Structure (as of March 8th, 2016):

Slack is one of those companies you love to love. Their inter-office communication platform
is always an open tab in my desktop and allows me to share files and images with
individuals and groups easily.
Of course it's primarily a chat tool, and it's great for that as well. No more yelling across
your open-plan office or emailing a single line to your colleague.
It's also a fantastic company if you're looking to develop your own brand "vibe," as they're a
model of that casual excellence so many software companies are looking to cultivate.

AdobeStock (along with Shutterstock) is our graphic design team's go-to image library. Every
one of their 45 million royalty-free images and videos can be accessed and managed from
within the entire Adobe Suite (that's Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign etc).
When you're talking about image libraries the primary thing you're looking for is breadth of
selection and quality. AdobeStock is fantastic in those areas and is priced about average.

BuzzSumo is one of the chief content marketing tools the Wishpond Blog puts to use.
It's a huge part of our strategy for discovering content opportunities, identifying influencers
and quickly responding to alerts in our sector or around our brand.
Perhaps most frequently I use it to run reports on how a competitor's article did on social
media. I can see number of social shares, who shared it, who linked it, and more.

Sarah Sobieski | 2016 Growth Hacking Tools

  • 1. The 27 Best Growth Hacking Tools of 2016 wishpond
  • 3. Mailchimp Mailchimp's simple and free email platform is the go-to tool for more than 10 million marketers. The platform's users send more than 600 million emails a day, and you can see why. Mailchimp's simple automation, segmentation and targeting are enough for many entry- level growth hackers. The report function is also helpful in optimizing your email marketing campaigns over time. Current Pricing Structure (as of March 8th, 2016): wishpond 1
  • 4. Aweber offers a bit more than Mailchimp in a few places, primarily a stronger automated email functionality (including auto-responder follow-up) and better sign up forms. I've also found their campaign function to be more intuitive if you're looking to combine email marketing with a lead generation campaign (for instance).

  • 5. If Aweber offers a bit more power than Mailchimp, Emma offers a bit more than Aweber. Emma actually gets us into a bit of the more developer-friendly email platforms (so stop at Aweber if you're just starting out). Emma makes it easy to automate email campaigns, segment based on data stored inside of an integrated CRM, and heavy personalization using dynamic content (very cool).

  • 6. One step up from Emma is Customer.io, which is a very developer-friendly platform (in as much as it's almost difficult to use if you don't have a developer handy). This is actually the platform Wishpond used before we started using our own email tool. Customer.io has a great user profile functionality (allowing you to see individual actions of individual contacts). It's very HTML-friendly and very integration-friendly, meaning "you can start sending emails based on what people do or don't do after they log in to your software/website."

  • 8. Buffer has been Wishpond's go-to social media platform for years now, and they're the most solid tool we've seen in a very competitive market. Buffer enables you to collate your social profiles into one place which means you can share the same piece of content quickly and easily across all of them.

The platform is super intuitive, and, while perhaps not quite as powerful as other similar tools, helps you design and share images quickly. Pablo is currently free. Other notable social share design tools include, but are not limited to... Canva Picmonkey Liveluvcreate Pinstamatic Pablo Powtoon Evernote's Skitch Easel.ly Visme 6 wishpond
  • 10. So RebelMouse is primarily cool because it does what a lot of content curation/aggregation tools do, simply and powerfully. It's also integrated a straightforward CMS element which is really strong. I also like that it has a great mobile app which makes it easy to access and share curated (and original) content on the fly. Current Pricing Structure (as of March 8th, 2016): Contact the RebelMouse team for pricing (not available on their site). RebelMouse 7 wishpond
  • 11. Nuzzel is a really cool (though largely unknown) content curation tool which is focused on the content most interesting to your social network. It aggregates stories, articles and images from your social media followers and then filters by the most popular content or whichever was shared most recently. Nuzzel is great, particularly on Twitter, because it enables you to follow stories and get valuable insight into what content your Followers like - giving you more confidence to create content similar to it. Current Pricing Structure (as of March 8th, 2016): Nuzzel is currently free. Nuzzel 8 wishpond
  • 12. Postplanner, beyond the somewhat straightforward social media management of Buffer (and Hootsuite, for that matter), offers a very helpful content curation element. Postplanner makes it easy to consolidate your own profiles as well as every social profile related to your business, allowing you to see (and share and schedule) the most interesting content your audience might find interesting. Postplanner Bonus: I also love that Postplanner app has the Canva platform built right into it. Nice little perk right there… Current Pricing Structure (as of March 8th, 2016): Postplanner 9 wishpond
  • 14. What am I gonna do? Pretend we don't have a marketing automation platform? Marketing automation is the #1 most cost-effective tool for professional marketers with a bit of budget, and it's far simpler than it was even a year ago. Automating your lead generation, lead nurturing and lead management processes can save you hundreds of hours a month… ● Automate email nurturing campaigns which turn generated leads into qualified sales prospects. ● Automate the sales process with lead scoring, customer relationship tracking and workflows as complicated or simple as you like. ● Retain customers through automated loyalty campaigns and easy segmentation. Wishpond is also integrated with many of the awesome tools in this slidedeck. See our Integrations Page for the complete list. Wishpond10

  • 17. Eye Dropper and the next tool, Nimbus Screenshot, are my most-frequently used plugins. Eye Dropper enables you to pick any color off of a webpage, providing you with the hex code, rgb, hsl and official name of that color. It also stores your recently "dropped" colors for as long as you ask it too. This makes it super easy to keep your brand's hexcodes around for easy access, or steal a color you like from someone else's site. Growth hackers take a lot of screenshots - the constant messiness of my desktop can attest to that. So we need a good screenshot tool, and of course the one built into my Mac or your PC isn't going to cut it. You need to capture part of a page, scroll and capture, easily capture one element, edit, and save as whatever file type you like. Nimbus gives you all that and more.

  • 18. SEOQuake has replaced both my Alexa plugin and my PageRank plugin, as it does both. It also has the added benefit of highlighting nofollow links (if I tell it to), display keyword densities and compare one site's search optimization to that of another. SEOQuake is my go-to plugin for SEO. While I don't look at Ghostery every single day, I like to have it watching my back. The plugin allows me to see any and all trackers, pixels, bugs and beacons that are on the webpages I visit. This informs my own growth hacking strategies, as in "what is my competitor doing with tracking and remarketing that I'm not?" I also like that Ghostery allows me to choose how and when I want to be tracked. As they say "a personalized digital experience is great, but shouldn’t you be in control of who’s tracking you?"

  • 19. LastPass stores passwords for you. So long as you remember your "master password" all the others are securely stored in the plugin. Initially this was a bit scary for me, but they have extensive security systems in place and are constantly helping me ensure my passwords are secure. Another cool element of LastPass is that it allows you to share passwords with colleagues securely. There's no point in all 40 of us having a different account for our analytics platform (especially as we all want to see the same reports and funnels), so using only a few accounts and sharing the passwords securely is super helpful. Current Pricing Structure (as of March 8th, 2016): LastPass 15 wishpond
  • 20. Sniply allows you to send people to your site or blog via content you share on social media. There are three main elements of Sniply: 1. Owned Content. Sharing your own blog posts? Easily attach call-to-actions on screen without making changes to the page itself. 2. Earned Media. Got featured in a publication? Share the link with your call-to-action so that readers can engage with your brand. 3. Curated Links. Promoting someone else's content? Get recognized for your referral by including a message for your followers. They also have an A/B testing function which makes it simple to split test your CTAs.

  • 21. PushBullet has largely replaced EverNote for me (though I still have lasting affection for Evernote). PushBullet is a bit simpler - allowing me to send text messages to friends directly from my computer and easily send links and files to my devices and those of my contacts. Essentially, I use Google Drive sharing for interoffice files and PushBullet for interoffice and external link sharing. PushBullet 17 wishpond
  • 23. One of our most recent software adoptions, our sales team is raving about Pipedrive this month. Pipedrive does the standard Sales CRM stuff very well. They have the visual sales pipeline , lead organization (including filters), sales forecasting and a solid mobile app. But more than that they're super intuitive and super easy to set up. Once you've done the initial setup though though, customization (including turning off features) is easy as well. Current Pricing Structure (as of March 8th, 2016): Pipedrive is $12/user/month.

  • 24. A little bit up the pricing scale from Pipedrive, Base has the number-one mobile sales app - enabling you to keep up with your leads, funnels and reporting on the go, they also have a great reporting tool and extensive integration possibilities.

  • 25. Insightly is a great starter sales CRM tool. It has a heavy incorporation of email (including pretty good templates) and 250MB of data storage in the free plan. You'll also get Dropbox and Quickbooks integrations, which are pretty cool if you use those platforms. Current Pricing Structure (as of March 8th, 2016): Insightly20 wishpond
  • 27. Zapier is the answer to "But your software isn't integrated to the platform I currently use! How can I make this work?" Zapier is currently integrated with more than 500 software providers. If you integrate with it, you get access to all 500. Let me give you a few Zapier use-cases… ● Wishpond + Zapier + Slack: Send a direct message when a lead visits a web page multiple times. ● Wishpond + Zapier + Gmail: Send emails from Gmail when someone converts on your Wishpond landing page, popup, form, or contest. ● Wishpond + Zapier + Stripe: Add new Stripe customers to a customer list in Wishpond.

  • 29. Data, which most of us think of as one of the most boring subjects out there, often inspires the most passion. Segment gives you data - complete, comprehensive website data in one place and with minimal fuss. And, of course, data is a massive part of growth hacking. Unless you know what you're currently doing and how, you can't possibly know how to hack it. Once you have your initial growth hacking strategies set up (using the other 26 tools in this list), come back to Segment and start talking data.

  • 30. SurveyMonkey makes it easy to get incredibly valuable insight from your contacts, leads and merchants. Their survey tool embeds easily into email clients and makes responding not just easy, but appealing. More recently, however, SurveyMonkey has launched their "Audience" feature, which gives your company access to a huge number of willing survey recipients who aren't your customers. You can create a custom audience (similar to Facebook Ads) so you can be sure you're reaching people similar to your prospective customers. This gives you an understanding of your audience, and is a great strategy before launching any large update, new software or even a new growth hacking strategy.

  • 31. GoToWebinar is the chief webinar tool out there, and for good reason. When you're talking webinars you want a couple primary things… 1. You want your webinar to run without technological issues. 2. You want your webinar tool to be integrated easily with your lead generation and CRM (otherwise what's the point?) GoToWebinar has both, solidly and consistently. Current Pricing Structure (as of March 8th, 2016): GoToWebinar 24 wishpond
  • 32. Slack is one of those companies you love to love. Their inter-office communication platform is always an open tab in my desktop and allows me to share files and images with individuals and groups easily. Of course it's primarily a chat tool, and it's great for that as well. No more yelling across your open-plan office or emailing a single line to your colleague. It's also a fantastic company if you're looking to develop your own brand "vibe," as they're a model of that casual excellence so many software companies are looking to cultivate.

  • 33. AdobeStock (along with Shutterstock) is our graphic design team's go-to image library. Every one of their 45 million royalty-free images and videos can be accessed and managed from within the entire Adobe Suite (that's Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign etc). When you're talking about image libraries the primary thing you're looking for is breadth of selection and quality. AdobeStock is fantastic in those areas and is priced about average.

  • 35. BuzzSumo is one of the chief content marketing tools the Wishpond Blog puts to use. It's a huge part of our strategy for discovering content opportunities, identifying influencers and quickly responding to alerts in our sector or around our brand. Perhaps most frequently I use it to run reports on how a competitor's article did on social media. I can see number of social shares, who shared it, who linked it, and more.
