The Tinder Experiment
What is The Tinder Experiment?
The Tinder experiment was me applying growth hacking tactics to meet women on Tinder. I split tested different openers & tracked my success rate through the funnel from first message to repeat sexual encounters. It got to the top of the /r/dataisbeautiful subreddit (via my Reddit Growth Hacking tactics) and picked up by newspapers worldwide.
What I’ve Done:
I wrote the Growth Hacking Tinder: Analyzing Data to get DATAss [THE POST HAS GONE DOWN. COPIED ALL OF IT HERE] blog post on Valentine’s day, 2016. I used my reddit growth hack to share it.
It made it to the top of the day on /r/DataIsBeautiful (5,267,367 subscribers at the time), and got picked up by international media.
