Hey voucher fans. Let’s say I’m a member of a country club. But my city funds a public pool I don’t use. Can I please have a voucher that will help pay my dues? And to make it “fair,” give it to anyone who asks. If they can make up the difference they can “choose” the club too.

Thread: I work in an arcane field where the job requires specific technical knowledge, built on a ladder of understanding and breakthroughs going back over 100 years. It's not immunology but it's not nothing.

I was always told that it takes months to see a return on SEO. I've been able to drive results in a few weeks by doing the following: 1. Find sites your audience reads 2. Find low competition, high volume keywords 3. Create posts that fill the gap.

As a co-founder, I get pulled in a lot of directions. It can be incredibly difficult for me to focus. The one approach that works for me is the Pomodoro method • Pick a task to do • Set a 25 minute timer. • Do the work • Take a 5 minute break. • Repeat.

I recently found myself needing to do customer research. I'm a product guy, what do I know about this? Fortunately, I found these amazing people who share graduate level, actionable marketing knowledge every day. @amandanat @KateBour @AsiaOrangio @aprildunford So thankful
