Use The Force
“The Force is what gives a Jedi his power. It’s an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together.”- Obi Wan Kenobi
I couldn’t find a better way to begin this article, than quoting Ben Kenobi’s words to Luke Skywalker. As the force to a Jedi (or a Sith), knowledge is the ulterior motive for a Growth Hacker.
Knowledge comes to us from a lot of different sources, either for free or in a highly paid manner. The truth is that for one to obtain it, all it takes is the will for it.
I feed on knowledge. Whether it’s learning useless information (and apparently, memorising sci-fi movie quotes) or mastering a tool for my job, pursuing knowledge is established in my daily routine and a vital factor for my performance at work.
In an older article, which came along with a kick-ass infographic, I pointed out some essential tools for the Growth Hacker’s inventory. Now for this post, me and my friends at GrowthRocks, crafted an exclusive list of the best online courses that will help you all, the aspiring Growth Hackers, to learn Growth Hacking.
It includes Growth Hacking, Marketing, Coding and Data Analysis courses that will help you obtain new skills or maximize the potentiality of the ones you already own.

Hi, thanks for the advice. Here in Germany, young Hacker learn exactly this 😉
https://www.dotcomsecurity.de/cyber-security-ausbildung-training/
Thanks for compiling all these awesome resources in this post. I am sure they will come in handy. I am an internet entrepreneur in training and wish to start my own digital marketing firm someday. I just don’t have a unique value proposition, so I would rather spend time learning for as long as it takes me to stand out from the crowd.
PS. Just subscribed to your blog on Feedly.
Hey Satyawrat,
Thank you very much for your kind words! Doing courses is a start. In my opinion, doing things beats education. So, my proposition to you is to start by applying what you learn in mini projects e.g. a blog.
That kind of experience will guide you towards a more sophisticated view on the things you like to do.
Keep being awesome,
Apostle 🙂
