Marketing doesn’t reward the best product. It rewards the best positioned one. You’ll see mediocre things win when they tell a better story. Same case, social media rewards visibility. The algorithm likes what is well positioned. Just like great PR for a bad product.

I lost a friend this month to cancer. A deadly one that was too large to beat and left her no options. No time. If you haven’t talked to a friend in awhile, please do. Life can be short. #PancreaticCancer

It takes years to build a global brand. And a few months to tear it down without recognizing what you've lost.

"X" marks the spot where there once was an app that was fun and engaging way to build connections.

Social feels really existential right now. All of these new platforms are clamoring to be the next "x" (no pun intended) but they aren't offering anything new in terms of experience.

The best editing tip I've ever learned: "Write, take a break, edit. And then keep editing between breaks until you don't change anything." This often results in a lot of time and many edits. But you end up with the best version of your content.

Inspired by young teens inventing products and marketing them fearlessly. 🧨. If it doesn’t work they quickly move on to their next idea. #Entrepreneur

Don't underestimate the power of word-of-mouth marketing! Encourage your happy customers to share their positive experiences with friends and family to attract new business. I'm doing that with Swarmtix and having super results so far.

I keep waiting for someone else to make this point but it hasn’t happened yet. Or I haven’t seen it yet. Discovery on here sucks now. But there’s a very profound thing that Twitter provides creative industries that isn’t traffic. And when it’s gone, oh boy, are we gonna feel it…

Pay @facebook and @instagram for verification? If they were smart, they'd offer business customer support. Many people have lost account access when hacked. Businesses might have paid for customer support.

Building a community is worth the effort. Besides Twitter, where are you building one?

Your website, portfolio or blog should have working links to your #SocialMedia. Make it easy for people to find you and connect. 🤝

With all of the drastic changes here my 13 year old son gave his 2 cents: Mom, who needs @Twitter. Why can't you use @TikTok instead?
