Experiment, Systematize, Differentiate: The Content Strategy Maturity Model

Ryan LawMar 29

There are still many industries where those old-school tactics are effective, simply because they’ve not …

Devesh KhanalApr 2
In our sales calls with many companies and on Twitter, we’ve heard a common complaint that it’s hard to find high quality blog writers. I have been trying to hire a content person for months now. 100s of applicants. All suck. People have portfolios with lame ass mediocre articles. Is …

Let me get this straight.

Instagram will gate keep sliding up on stories for everyone except verified and 10k+ follower accounts BUT will let tons of 0 follower/spam/bot accounts flood DMs with nonsense.

This is the opposite of user friendly.

Most SaaS companies don’t have their organic traffic house in order for three reasons:

1) They didn’t believe in search and the site is not optimized in the slightest

2) They think SEO is boring vs “growth hacking”

3) Overwhelmed all the noise & snake oil sold over the years

Invest in leverage.

If you can spend 8 hours doing work that will enable 5 people on your team to do 100 hours worth of work, that's leverage.

If you spend 2 hours coaching your team to generate 5x better outcomes, that's leverage.

"Doing it yourself" is not leverage.

To friends who keep complaining about their big brand jobs, agonizing over leaving because the current logo seems too great: leave. Get the hell out. Now. You don’t work to make end’s meet. You can choose to make a change.

There are a bunch of ways to be helpful to your team and network as a founder and leader. Not all of them feel right.

My way is my magic. I don't want to look like the rest.
