What if Performance Advertising is Just an Analytics Scam?
Rand FishkinOct 13
“What the pandemic showed is we can take marketing down to zero and still have 95% of the same traffic as the year before. So we’re not going to forget that lesson.” – Brian Chesky (via Campaign) In 2020, AirBnB cut $542 million of performance advertising spend and saw no …

The old playbook of building a brand is dead:

1. Raise $2M from angels
2. Hire a NY/LA branding firm
3. Use some BS stats about Gen Z
4. Pretend all competitors are stupid

If you want to win today, you need to build around a persona, not a product.

Let me dive into this... 🧵

As folks invest in my startup fund, I notice not everyone is familiar with:

1. SPVs
2. Secondary purchases
3. Rolling funds

Most marketing gets ignored

It's not necessarily because it’s bad (though sometimes that’s the problem)

But the more common reason why people ignore marketing is that it's badly timed

You can't break the algorithm but you can retrain it.

If you don't like the content in your feed, look at your behaviors here. With each click, reply, and retweet you are creating your content ecosystem.

Curate and stop the behaviors that lead to content you don't want.

As you get more senior in your career, you will get better and better at more things.

The problem is, you don't want to do certain things anymore.

I can be excellent at outreach, writing blog posts, creating sales enablement docs and decks... but I just don't want to anymore.

Sales Advice:

Instead of spending 5 hours selling to 5 different companies with a simple CTRL+F / Replace “CEO name” with “CEO Name” in the email.

Spend 5 hours researching the company you’re most excited about. Creating an amazing pitch. Personalizing it & connecting 1-1.

Jay Acunzo @jayacunzo

"Annoy the many to convert a few" isn't a marketing strategy.

You can focus on providing meaningful help, not momentary hype.

And no, "haters" aren't a sign you're onto something.

Good marketing doesn't have collateral damage.

Writing with clarity and brevity is *way* harder than fluffy, wordy, long writing.

Just because a page, a headline, an article look simple, doesn't mean it took less time than the wordy one.

Good writing is result of lots of rewriting and many edits 👌 #tweet100
