The Edward Show

E158: Marc Lou shares his journey making $0 online to $1 online to $55,000/month online - and it's an entertaining journey. Lots of gems in this: Validating ideas before building. Building in public. Iterating and shipping fast. Marc's article in the podcast: https://marclou.beehiiv.com/p/my-first-dollar-online #buildinpublic #indiehackers #solopreneur #startups

E157: Black hat Instagram secrets.   How big accounts on Instagram are fooling the algorithm and juicing numbers.   This is working to such a great extent that fake influencers are getting brand deals from this.   Thank you to Sara Melotti - her article, which I read in the episode, is https://behindthequest.com/instagram-created-a-monster/   #blackhat #socialmediamarketing #growthhacking #MarketingStrategy

E156: I'm using Grok: In Europe + how I access it. To unearth grey hat marketing gems. To get the most insightful recent tweets in any subject. My take on Grok's first 24 hours. What I believe it's best for. Why I'm excited. #GROKAI #startups #buildinpublic #marketing

E155: Day 2 of the TwitterX Ads Glitch working again. The pacing is different now vs. October/September. Results are still decent, however. Getting email signups for $.03. Users for $0.15. And 3X ROAS on one product. #performancemarketing #buildinpublic #growthhacks #indiehackers

E154: The TwitterX Ads Glitch is back!   Here's what I'm seeing and one of the ads I'm running.   And a counter to those who say these results are too good to be true.   Don't miss out!   #gotomarket #startups #buildinpublic #growthhacking

E153: TwitterX's Grok will be insane for marketers and entrepreneurs looking for the most potent strategies. TwitterX's search functionality doesn't work. Google and ChatGPT only give basic strategies. Nothing blackhat, greyhat, or creative. TwitterX has an incredible database. I believe Grok will unearth previously buried gems and create a tremendous advantage of information for anybody using it. #grok #growthhacking #artificialintelligence #marketinghacks

E152: Human biases. How the consistency bias can be used to get people to like you. How wearing Baker-Miller Pink / Drunk Tank Pink can sway meetings in your favor. #humanbiases #robertcialdini #manipulation #MarketingStrategy

E151: If you want to grow on TwitterX by doing Build in Public content - or grow on TwitterX in the startup and technology entrepreneurship niche - this episode will give a framework to do so.  The episode is about Marc Lou's "How to get your first 1,000 followers on TwitterX" article. Marc shares what he would do to shortcut his follower growth if he were starting again on TwitterX. His insights are short and impactful. #indiehackers #buildinpublic #solopreneur #startups

E150: Only 16 companies make up 84% of what you see on Google. I've done SEO at these companies. This is what it's like behind the scenes. Turns out this 84% number is good for marketers. But bad for consumers. Here's why. #seo #startups #searchengineoptimization #ycombinator
