How Covid19 is impacting demand for B2B / SaaS.

Search trends for B2B / SaaS in different categories for the US (the largest market for SaaS).
1/ Here are trends for "Shopify".

Notice a clear bump around March?

We see a similar bump in our small business leads in Online Retail.
2/ For midmarket and enterprise SaaS, demand seems to have been gradually getting (negatively) impacted.

Many such categories show a decline.
3/ Even search for @VWO has been slowing in VWO.

But we feel it's a function of businesses halting their investment decisions in efficiency seeking activities like A/B testing because even searches for "A/B testing" shows a gradual decline in 2020.
4/ Businesses don't even want free tools at the moment.

Interest in both "Google Optimize" and "Google Analytics" is down.

Although there's a significant sudden drop in GA in recent months.

What can explain that?
5/ We did a survey of CRO agencies who run analytics , CRO and ab testing programs for clients.

Half of them said their revenue has seen a decline due to covid19.

(Will be releasing a report on this soon)
6/ Thoughdouble-humped noticed curious double humped interest in Zoom and Google Meet.

I understand the first one, but what would explain the second one?

I *think* it is a response to the second hump in covid19 in US. See how it perfectly aligns with the covid humps.
7/ Add your search terms of interest and explore Google search trends here for 2020: trends.google.com/trends/explore…

Report back if you find anything noteworthy. I'll retweet interesting insights.

Be in the desires market, not the solutions market.

(a short thread on this mental model)

🚀 It's also the 4th chapter of my new book invertedpassion.com/jobs-to-be-don…
1/ It’s important to clearly distinguish between what people desire and how they fulfill them.

Our desires usually remain the same, but methods of fulfillment keep changing.
2/ For example, the desire to have good oral hygiene can be fulfilled in multiple ways: toothbrushes, mouth wash, or even crunchy foods like carrots that help clean mouth as we chew on them.

Capitalism rewards rare and valuable

(a short thread on this mental model)

🎉 It's also the first chapter from my new book invertedpassion.com/capitalism-rew…
1/ You create value when you fulfill the unmet desires of people better than the alternatives they have (from competitors).
2/ The idea that capitalism rewards things that are rare and valuable was proposed by @ScottAdamsSays in his essay on career advice where he recommended readers to master various skills until no one else has the mix that you have.

So I spent my Sunday evening training a neural network to generate 🎥 movie plots, and the results are...

Intriguing and hilarious.

Read on for examples.
1/ Movie plot involving 👽 ALIENS:

"Aliens land in the California coast to find a way to fight against the machines."

"Aliens land on Earth, kidnap young people, make some money selling drugs and end up in the desert where they live."
2/ "Aliens land in our city and kidnap people to keep them in it. Their leader is an alcoholic cop, and the people of the city try to get him into custody and take revenge."

"Aliens land on earth and the moon in pursuit of an extraterrestrial scientist"

Top 10 🎥 underrated movies you can watch.

Just did this analysis on IMDB dataset with minimum 1000 votes.

Look at the column underrated_rating. It is: % of people voting 10 or 9 / % of people voting 8 or 7.

How many have you seen from the list? I've seen none! Image
The topmost one is an indie movie that has won many awards.

Then there is this horror movie with an interesting plot

Two assassins-for-hire have an hour to kill before their next hit. To help pass the time, they entertain themselves by sharing horror stories to one another.

All 🧮 models are wrong, but some are useful.

(a thread unpacking this brilliant idea)
1/ What did the British statistician George Box mean when he wrote these now-famous words in 1976, and how is it relevant to you?

2/ Whenever we try understanding the world around us – be it our customers’ behavior, or how stars circle the center of a galaxy, or how coronavirus affects the human body – we never have direct and full access to the underlying reality.

A short thread on 📔 deep work.

(based on my personal experience)
1/ First of all, the definition of deep work.

Deep work happens when you are able to work with an uninterrupted focus on typically a hard or complex problem.

The term comes from the eponymous book by Cal Newport amazon.in/Deep-Work-Focu…
2/ Increasingly, the super-power is not access to information. It's the ability to prioritize, focus, and internalize.

Yet modern work is all but conducive to focus. You have emails, meetings, slack and constant firefighting.
