A Year And a Half Later, Here’s How The Four Day Workweek is Going at Buffer
Nicole MillerJan 20

When we experimented with a four-day workweek it was initially for one month. As our CEO, Joel Gascoigne, wrote about in May 2020 when we first started the experiment, “This 4-day workweek period is about well-being, mental health, and placing us as humans and our families first.”

Most Companies Measure Content Marketing ROI Incorrectly. Here’s Why (and How to Fix It).
Cameron BrownJan 17
Whether you’re doing content marketing in-house or as an outside consultant, you’re inevitably going to have executives (or whoever’s in charge) ask you, “What’s our ROI from content?” Or, if you’re just beginning your content marketing efforts, “What can we expect our ROI from content to be?” Over the last …

Hi, I'm Neil Patel

[FLAIR: HUMOR]

Hello.

I'm Neil Patel.

Have you ever wondered why I write my blog with short sentences with double line spaces?

Yes I know you've wondered that.

It's fucking difficult to read my posts, aren't them?

That's because I'm unable to write long sentences.

And also this way you …

Who should I learn from instead of Neil Patel?

I just saw the joke thread on Neil.

I assumed he's a good source to learn from (I enjoy his data-backed observatuons when he gives them) but it seems this isn't the case?

As someone with just about a year in digital marketing, and who is interested in SEO and …

Paid £26k per year, am managing 80+ clients, and have been underperforming… should I resign?

So, a bit about me: I’ve graduated with a marketing degree last year, did 2 internships in marketing before uni, worked in one sales and one marketing position during summer breaks (so have experience in marketing since 2018) and am a person with untreated ADHD, 24 years of age, but …

99% of meetings are a waste of time.

Here’s a framework I learned to make sure your meetings stay efficient:

POST

Purpose
Outcome
Structure
Timing

Outline POST in every calendar invite and your meetings will shrink from 60 min to 25 min, or 30 min to 12 min.

My best productivity advice is to block half an hour everyday to do nothing but think because there’s nothing more unproductive than moving fast in the wrong direction.

New to copywriting?

Use the Problem - Agitate - Solution framework.

1) Address a main problem your prospects have
2) Agitate it with a short statement
3) Present your product as the ideal solution

Works like a charm.

YouTube doesn't allow to make changes to your video once uploaded...

But it DOES allow to change the thumbnail as many times as you want.

Which @samsgoh has been quite hilariously exploiting for his "Holiday SEO" video 😆

Good news: successfully claimed my Google search panel.

Bad news: I cannot "give feedback" on the wrong-for-the-past-8-years description of myself.

In some ways, I like it this way. Great example of how fallible, incorrect, and difficult-to-change Google's data is.

My Twitter feed has become extremely boring.

Lots of tech fam nonstop talking about NFTs, DTC, XYZ ETC… and any engagement I give it results in text messages about it.

Love y’all but I’m awakening from the madness of comparative success. I hope to see you on the other side.

Just going to throw this out there:

Never ever, not once, has reading about a Google patent helped me do anything in my job, ever. It was always, and still is, a waste of time.

Snippet bait, as a concept, that on the other hand... that was pretty darn useful.

There are SaaS companies with mediocre marketing, completely undifferentiated me-too product... yet have managed to get to a significant size, making a ton of money.

Without fail, they're all in large markets with huge demand, e.g marketing automation.

Go where the money is.

Time budgeting can be brutal.

We spend 8h working (let’s just pretend it’s all productive for a moment).

We (should) sleep 8h.

Leaves 8h for other activities. Right!

Wrong!

"How long should my podcast episodes be?"

Seven. Can we just say seven and stop asking this question? Please? Forever?

It's seven. Or 42. or Pizza. Just randomly reach out for any number or even word, and then stop thinking about this question for the rest of time.
