In this episode, I share stories about this and give an example of just how lucrative a quick shift in perspective about angles can be. #gotomarket #growthhacking #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
