People keep telling you not to do these three things—and they're wrong. Jay Schwedelson is breaking down some of the most persistent marketing myths floating around LinkedIn and your inbox. From link placement to email resends to reposting content, the "rules" might be more superstition than strategy. Jay puts them to the test and shares what actually works based on real data (and a little experimentation of his own).
Best Moments:

(05:35) The key to resends: switch up your subject line and send at a different time
(06:26) Repeating content on social isn’t lazy—it’s necessary, and nobody notices
(07:15) How Jay’s team recycles high-performing posts every six months
(08:15) The Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders’ wild pay jump and what reality stars really earn
