Suggesting people who has been laid off to start their own thing is a bad idea.

A profitable online business requires a different set of skills than being employed.

Developers constantly feeling “behind” because of all the action happening with AI is quite a bullish sign for the future of software. It is starting to feel like so many use cases will be up for grabs from incumbents who don’t adapt fast.

Facebook Ads is NOT the best channel.

LinkedIn Organic is NOT the best channel.

TikTok is NOT the best channel.

The best channel is where your audience is.

Focus on where they are.

Not where your competitors are.

Not where other marketers are.

Be audience focused.

Instead of wondering whether Chat GPT’s prediction of search volumes are correct, wonder why we still use keyword search volume 🥴.

Much better: traffic to the top ranking page(s) for the main keyword.

Unlimited paid time off...

I'd love to hear from folks who have this policy at their company.

Do people take more or less vacation as a result of this policy?

Did anyone try to abuse the "unlimited" part?

You’re not just competing with brands trying to rank in Google.

You’re competing with 5 ads, the Wikipedia snippet, the carousel with competitor products, the carousel of YouTube videos and the ‘people also search for’ block showing up all BEFORE we reach the organic results.

Through @contentking we have learned that 1) things break all the time 2) content decay, especially in fast moving industries, is very real and happens a lot quicker than I thought 3) most in house teams don't have visibility into this - at all.

I’ve been operating at fractional capacity for 4 years.

Every so often, I remind myself of that. Between parenting 2 tiny humans + a pandemic, everything you’ve seen me create for 4 years has been me running at ~50-60%.

I can’t wait to show you what I can do at 100%.
