"Why I don't read books?" or How the NY Times Bestselling Author Neil Patel got over negative 2000 quote tweets and deleted the tweet
A few days ago, Neil Patel posted (and afterward sadly deleted it) a short video on Twitter. In the video, he said that he reads only kids' books and no other books and recommends to everyone to do so. Why? Because most of the books are written 1-2 years before …
Content targeting is the successor to audience targeting. iOS 14.5 is just the beginning.

SEO Recommendations Template V.1 [by Aleyda]
What’s the most beautiful piece of writing you’ve ever come across?
Bonus points if you can screenshot a paragraph and share it below. I’ll consider including it in my writing guide.
Props to anyone who takes the time ❤️
I was never into stocks until I worked at the NYSE. I was never into start-ups until I had to pitch founders. I was never into e-commerce until I joined Fast.
You have no clue what you’re into, so try lots of things.
Today I'm sharing two templates to complement your SEO Audit Checklists:
📊 A Google Sheets SEO Recommendations Prioritization Template
👩🏽🏫 A Google Slides SEO Recommendations Presentation Template
They will help you to prioritize & communicate recommendations for execution 👇
I analyzed thousands of websites to understand what made them successful.
Here’s what I learned:
It depends.
The blueprint to take you from $0 to $100k:
$0 to $10k/month:
- One skill
- One offer
- One main outreach method
$10k-30k/month:
- One skill
- One offer
- Multiple outreach methods
$30k-100k/month:
- Multiple skills (solid team)
- Multiple offers
- Multiple outreach methods
We like to say "Just talk to your customers" like it's a cure for everything in marketing but it isn't. Customers are experts on their own pain. Their perceptions on solutions matter but they can and do change. This matters a lot for positioning work 1/
INFLUENCE MARKETING

- What it means
- How it works
- Why I'm making up new terminology
2min explanation. Whatcha think? Is there a better term that already (clearly) conveys this idea?
If you've ever had trouble getting buy-in, today's post by special guest @shivanisberry is for you. Shivani was a longtime PM and now teaches aspiring and new women leaders how to influence stakeholders. In her guest post she shares her top 3 tactics 👇

I see too many SEOs focusing on "tricks & hacks" to make GOOGLE ROBOTS like their pages...
And not enough SEOs focusing on "tactics & methods" of making their pages contain SOME ACTUAL VALUE FOR HUMAN BEINGS!

Marketing gods,

"Nobody in advertising admits they like an ad because it has a nice song, was funny or looked cool.
But that’s why people not in advertising like ads."
– Dave Dye (@davedyecom)
I don't do meetings anymore, I shoot @loom videos and then have discussions.
Can't imagine working any other way.
Fail-safe interview Qs for podcasters + writers:
- Tell me about- (get the facts, the sequence; so gripping even w/o high drama)
- How did it feel- (reflection/emotion = magic)
- What's an example? (SORELY missing for many)
- Superlatives (best, worst, least, most, etc.)
Most effective advertising has a roughy 60/40 brand /activation split (same for B2B) - research by Binet and Field.
The work of Professor Andrew Ehrenberg shows that you need to advertise wider to grow your brand. If you only advertise to your true fans, you're doing it wrong.
"Great content will promote itself"
This is really just a story we tell ourselves so we don’t have to invest any time in promotion.

Sometimes when you’re hosting a panel, @kylekuzma calls in to give his own perspective on his journey with @drink_barcode!
Why I partnered with a co-founder to launch Rise at Seven:
👉 He can do the things I cant, and I can do the things he cant. One day, I knew id face a problem that I didn't know the answer to. Luckily, my co-founder did.
Talked to a customer this week who turned ~$25k/year into ~$1 million/year IN A YEAR AND HALF. 👀
We're watching 2-3 year old digitally-native brands reach $50 million or even $100 million in annual revenue with little to no outside capital and if DTC had its own physics, this would defy it.
Well this is a fun surprise to come home to 🤭🤞👩🍳 @uglydrinks @madeincookware

I never try to teach my writers SEO tricks. Instead, I keep creating a list of stuff they need to keep in mind before publishing a blog.
As someone with ADHD, if the end blog cannot hold my attention, It's not good enough.
#seotips #MarketingTwitter #contentwriter
Marketing is bigger than any agency or company.
It's a utility, not a commodity.
Stop underestimating the people you hire to help you.
They know what they're doing.
You don't.
