๐Ÿ•ต๏ธโ€โ™‚๏ธHow to analyze your competitors like Sherlock Holmes?

Still using statistics from research papers? C'mon, let's bring LIVE #data to the party!

Mindset shift! You're not really in competition. From the customer's point of view, they're "alternatives". (kudos Brian Balfour)

Does it sound scary?

The idea of knowing alternatives can help you provide a better perspective.

The 2 principles I use to gather insights from "alternatives", such as website traffic, social media feed, content strategy, newsletter frequency, ad creatives, winning keywords

๐Ÿ‘‡
1/ Compare one company with another
e.g. Identify the gap between Airbnb and Expedia, research their customer's preferred channels

2/ Choose a product vertical and go deeper
e.g. Understand the landscape of productivity SaaS, its marketing strategies, and content frequency

๐Ÿ˜ Virtual events/ communities, yaa or naah?

It has been almost a year since we entered the new normal.

Have you noticed any virtual event fatigue?

You might feel the same ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡
I get tired easily.

In virtual events, you need extra attention, your eyes, ears, brain, etc.

Don't get me wrong. I still participate in virtual events especially my favorite topics.

But I am less excited than before.
Many events look like clones, and the speakers are being reused in one event after another.

Donโ€™t be surprised if your sign up has not increased.
