To join the #MarketingRant Show live. It'll show up on your iOs or Android app like below
AND WE'RE LIVE
HOT TAKE FROM @amandanat:

WHEN COPYWRITING IS NOT DONE WELL, IT'S BECAUSE THEY'RE SELFISH!
BAD COPYWRITING COULD COME FROM A PLACE OF INSECURITY.

@amandanat #MarketingRant
@amandanat IS GIVING TIPS ABOUT HOW TO MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT WITHOUT SOUNDING LIKE YOU'RE BRAGGING!

LESSON: NOBODY CARES ABOUT WHY YOU'RE THRILLED.
HERE'S HOW YOU ANNOUNCE AN EVENT:

BAD: "WE'RE SO THRILLED TO BE DOING AN EVENT"

BETTER: JUST SAY THE DATE AND TELL PEOPLE WHAT THE PEOPLE ARE GONNA GET

#MarketingRant
@amandanat IS BREAKING DOWN WHY MY #MarketingRant SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT WAS SHIT AND HOW SHE MADE IT BETTER.
TIP: TO IMPROVE YOUR COPYWRITING, CUT MORE WORDS.

BEING A REALLY A GOOD WRITER IS ABOUT REMOVING SENTENCES.

#MarketingRant via @amandanat
@amandanat: STARTING COPY WITH A QUESTION CAN BE TRIGGERING.

"DO YOU WANT TO BE A MARKETER?" SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE TELLING SOMEONE THEY SUCK. #MarketingRant
@amandanat HATES HATES THIS THE MOST: STRAWMAN ARGUMENT

SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS THAT ARE TRAPS LIKE "YOU"RE TOO FOCUSED ON SEO. THINK ABOUT STORYTELLING."

#MarketingRant
Aside: @amandanat is so nice. She just welcomed everyone in the show.

Thanks, Amanda! #MarketingRant
Aside: We're part of @coreyhainesco Swipe Files. And we just plugged it in!

I'm trying out a Twitter experiment:

Live on Twitter Spaces every Friday for 4 weeks: The #MarketingRant show

The goal: I get a marketer to rant about a topic they’re passionate about.
The first one is tomorrow (Friday) at 1 pm EDT with @amandanat. 🔥

Amanda is going on a #MarketingRant about common writing mistakes marketers make.

Amanda has a journalism background and is currently the Head of Content at @ShipBob.
Why Twitter Spaces?

Simple—I’ve already built an audience here. So has the marketers I’ll be talking to.

This is another way to build and connect with our audience.

I wrote a whole thread about it below:

9 years ago, I transitioned to marketing from software engineering.

Since I was diving into marketing on my own, I didn't know where to start.

Now that I do know, here are the 3 marketing skills I wish I picked up first: 🧵👇
1/ Customer Research

Marketing is about understanding people.

It’s that simple. And that hard.

One of the best ways to get to know your customers is by interviewing them.

As an introvert, the thought of that made my hands sweat, knees weak, arms heavy

So I avoided it for far too long.

LinkedIn is where you network.

Twitter is where you make new friends.
Seriously, if you want to say hi, talk about podcasting, growth, marketing — my DMs are open
I got 2 DMs now — I don't bite! 😊

We can literally talk about what you're doing this weekend

An Instagram account for a dog, sure. But a LinkedIn profile for a dog?!?! I am dead! I requested to connect. 😂
OH MY GOODNESS... Millie the dog accepted. What should I message her?

Seth Godin rejected me last year by email... and I loved it!

It's an art to reject someone and make them feel good after.

Let me share Seth's rejection email and 5 reasons why I love it: 🧵
For reference, here's the full rejection email he sent me after I asked him to be on my podcast GrowthToday.fm

Two lines.

That's it.

Let me break down the 5 things I love about it.
1/ "thanks"

I love how he started off by acknowledging the request.

Instead of leading with "No," he first thanked me for the opportunity.

To me, this speaks to his humility. He probably gets a TON of requests. But a simple thanks speaks volumes.

Notion—a tool you don't get one day, then 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 get it the next.

Here's how the @ProductLed team uses @NotionHQ to run our company: 🧵
Let's start with marketing.

Our Head of Content created a Marketing page with different projects for each channel — metrics, website updates, repurposing content, optimizing content, case studies, email marketing
Inside one of these projects are tasks.

Priority and state are automatically picked up once you've set the due date for each task.

You can attach google docs, and assign tasks to people — so things to get lost in Slack!
