πŸ™ ASK: If you are a Product Manager at a big tech company, can you take this quick survey (<3 mins)?

I'm looking into how the PM role differs across companies. If you take the survey you'll get the results first.

Please RT so that we can get more data

We're already at over 100 responses πŸ“ˆ

Let's keep it going! Some suggestions:
1. If your team has a PM Slack channel, can you share the survey there?
2. If you're in Blind, consider posting a link
3. If you have PM friends at other companies, share the survey with them

Go team!

Some things I've learned about the newsletter'ing life, so far πŸ‘‡
1/ It's really easy to start a newsletter. It's very hard to keep it going.

The key to keeping it up, at least for me, is (1) being genuinly curious and energized about the topic, (2) having a broad enough topic to keep it novel, and (3) having consistent time to write.
2/ Optimize for a topic YOU'RE excited about, not what you think other people will be excited about.

This is so important. It's the reason I went against the classic advice of finding a single focused niche. I would have been so bored thinking all day about just one thing.

Update: If you are *not* a product manager but work closely with PMs (e.g. eng, designer, PMM, etc.) could you also take this survey?

This will let us to see how PMs see their role vs. non-PMs, at the same company.

P.S. Please share the survey – the more data we get the better!
Over 400 responses already, how fun!
Thank you so much to everyone who's RT'd this and/or shared the survey with colleagues ❀️

10 nuggets of wisdom about pricing strategy pulled from @Patticus's epic guest post last week, including how much to discount, when to consider freemium, the impact of design on price, whether to end your price with a 9 vs. 0, value props, and much more

Read on πŸ‘‡
1/ You should localize your pricing to the currency and willingness to pay of the prospect's region

βœ”οΈ Revenue per customer is 30% higher when you just use the proper currency symbol
βœ”οΈ Having different price points in different regions increases revenue per customer further
2/ Freemium is an acquisition model, not a part of pricing

βœ”οΈ Think of freemium as a premium ebook driving leads, not another pricing tier
βœ”οΈ Don't do freemium until you truly understand how to convert leads to customers
βœ”οΈ Paid users who convert from free tend to be better
