Brian dropped this on LinkedIn a few days ago: And then there’s this noteworthy comment underneath: Now there’s the other end of the spectrum too. I’ve got friends who have doubled down on spammy, low-quality blackhat tactics, and they’re ironically winning big too. But they know it’s a short term play that doesn’t apply to ...
Most LinkedIn advice assumes a simple model: you write something good, the algorithm evaluates it, and it decides how many people see it. That model is wrong. Not slightly wrong.

The assumption is always that the content gap is a production problem. Then you look at what the company already has. Help documentation with detailed explanations of every ...
Two marketers sit in the same company. One builds the campaign architecture, fixes the attribution model, and quietly ships work that actually moves pipeline. The other spends half their week in cross-functional meetings, asking sales for input on messaging, looping in product on positioning decisions, and presenting results (including results they didn’t personally drive) in ...

Moving a WordPress site to a new host can feel daunting. But once you break it down, it’s not as scary as it sounds. Maybe it’s sluggish performance, lackluster support, or just a better deal elsewhere—switching hosts can seriously boost your site’s vibe and user experience.
