Inspired by my friend @allthingsmarco, I'm going to do occasional threads on businesses that are either doing well, or could be doing better, with their SEO & Content Marketing. 📈

🥁🥁🥁 Today's thread is on... 🥁🥁🥁

@onepeloton! 🚴‍♂️
Peloton is an incredible business.

Their bikes are beautiful, they have thousands of fun and challenging classes on demand, and their customers won't shut up about them (myself included)🙋‍♂️

But there's one area of their brand that's really lacking: their blog content.
I took a look through their site this afternoon and was really surprised at how little they've done to leverage their massive brand.

Their blog is only getting ~1,600 organic visitors per month! That's ridiculously low, I was expecting well into the 100,000s.

An idea I've been playing around with:

I think there's value in intentionally increasing the difficulty of your professional life
Let's look at video games by analogy.

Most single player games have a difficulty setting (Easy, Normal, Hard, Insane, etc.). The harder it is, the more you'll have to understand the mechanics of the game, test ideas.

You can win on easy, but so can anyone.
Then, there are games like Starcraft, DOTA, where there's no difficulty since it's multiplayer, but you're matched against someone roughly your skill level.

In these games you're going to win/lose 50/50 unless you make an effort to get better.

Alright, this will be a little disorganized since I'm collecting my thoughts, but bear with me:

Above a certain income level, I think budgeting is a waste of time.
I don't think that income number is very high, either. Something like $45k a year.

At that point, you're earning based on knowledge / expertise, not just the lowest hourly you can get paid.
The primary goal of budgeting is to increase your net worth.

Either you need the cash to pay down debt, or want it for some kind of investment.

(Yes you might be budgeting for pure financial losses, like weddings and trips, but they don't affect the argument)

1) Been dwelling on this for a while. Thoughts on $SQ vs Clover, now part of $FISV

TLDR:
Clover=fast follower, quickly gaining.
SQ=decelerating GPV growth likely to continue. Future growth tied to up/cross-sell of sw/services

@JerryCap @lazyluncheon

2) We all know $SQ pioneered mobile/cloud-based POS and still leads the market, but the gap with Clover is closing fast. Really a two horse race, with $LSPD a distant 3rd and others further behind
3) Initially for micro-merchants (< $125k annual sales), $SQ in recent years has moved more upmarket towards “larger” SMBs ($125k+) which are now 55% of GPV. Given bank-led distribution, Clover has/will continue to be 90%+ larger SMBs. This is the battle-ground ...

Watch tomorrow's Freeman TV @freemantv and we walk you through Bannon's footsteps from Breitbart > Trump Campaign > #QAnon. I've written about 6 articles on the entire team. We need to talk about Kushner. I'll be here when you're ready.
@freemantv Start with this article. It explains why and how Q employs controlled opposition like Jack P, Scott Adams, and even Alex Jones. jtrue.com/blog/behold-a-…
@freemantv After you see how it has to work you need to understand what Julian Assange is NOT... Very important piece that will come into play soon. jtrue.com/blog/column/bl…

A thread with some thoughts on DOJ's letter in the #Census2020 case, which can be found (alongside some great analysis from @rickhasen) here.

electionlawblog.org/?p=106089
First, it's unsurprising for DOJ to assert that any "new" decision to add the Q must be assessed w/o reference to the history of the policy

As I noted at @ShallTakeCare, it's a standard, oft-repeated move in the Trump DOJ's 'animus-laundering' playbook

takecareblog.com/blog/thoughts-…
Indeed, amid debate over the #TransBan and #TravelBan, I wrote an op-ed for @PostOpinions in *March 2018* identifying this animus-laundering strategy and warning that we could expect to see a lot more of it

1/ I just geeked out about CPG packaging with someone I really respect.

Here is why I love thinking about CPG package design as much as I love thinking about software product design.
2/ Identifying what the consumer wants without true A/B testing is absurdly hard. Think about how much design iteration goes into the typical software product -i.e. web or mobile. It is effectively constant learning and iteration.
3/ Now imagine how hard life would be if you had to make a product, then didn’t receive feedback on the product until ~6 months later (CPG product sent out to retailer, purchased and then sales numbers come in).

I had a tough week and messed up my sleep schedule. On Sunday I felt overwhelmed and didn't know where I stood in terms of goals, projects and what the hell I was supposed to be doing with my life next. Enter the weekly review, a lifesaver. Thread time!👇
Every Sunday evening I take half an hour to review everything that happened in the previous week and plan for the week ahead. I've been doing this (in Evernote) for about a year. Here's my EOW (end-of-week) template:
First, I list the achievements of the week. It's usually something personal like finishing a book, publishing an article, booking a trip or doing something nice for my partner. But, I also list team accomplishments that I'm proud of, like shipping out a new product etc. 🙌✨
