Spoiler: Remote work doesn't mean working from home.

Remote work means: having the flexibility to work from a co-working space, a local cafe, that restaurant up the street, next to the beach, a cottage in the woods or your parents backyard before a BBQ.
Remote work means having the ability to take a midday shower after a run, a spontaneous catch up with a friend, a tea party with your kids and a moment to just relax and chill after a big deliverable.
Remote work means skipping that long commute in the morning, avoiding road construction, reducing your carbon footprint, reducing your budget for gas & not being forced to sit at a desk for multiple hours a day.
I'm not saying remote work is better.

I'm just saying it's the style of work that works best for me and millions of other people around the world.

Remote work over the last few months has NOT been the same as what remote work will look like in the months to come.
The restrictions, the quarantines & the guidelines are soon going to disappear & remote work will thrive.

The innovations in remote work over the last few months have been significant and it's going to be better than ever to be a remote worker.
Organizations are going to be smarter with how they structure their processes.

Organizations are going to invest in better solutions for empowering remote teams.

And organizations are going to create workplaces that allow for remote workers to thrive.

B2B Marketing Lessons 💻

I’ve helped SaaS companies create a content culture that drives:

Millions in revenue. Millions in leads. And millions in visits.

Grab a coffee, save this thread and dive in 🧵

Here’s the stuff they didn’t teach us in school but really should have...
B2B Marketing Is More Similar To B2C Than Most People Think

It might not always feel as sexy as selling Yeezys or the latest Fenty line but at the end of the day — You’re still selling to people.

People who have challenges and are on the hunt for solutions.
Top Of Funnel Marketing Isn’t Always Needed To Create A Massive Company

Some marketers will hate me for this BUT… It’s true.

Some businesses make a ton of money on the back of just sales teams & a good product that fills a gap.

Is it just me or do all SaaS sites look the same?

The @FoundationIncCo team wanted to find out.

We took 100 SaaS sites and analyzed their marketing approach to design.

Grab a coffee, bookmark it and enjoy the thread 🧵

Here’s what we learned studying 100+ SaaS sites.
98% Of Brand Logos Are On The Left

The placement of the logo on the top left of a website is a common design best practice.

It’s an approach that most designers use inside of SaaS and outside of SaaS. But sometimes brands will switch things up and go in the middle like this:
Most SaaS Websites Are Mobile Responsive

The world runs on mobile. In April 2021, 56% percent of all web traffic came through mobile phones. 📲

Mobile responsive sites are a great way to ensure you don’t deliver broken experiences for people on a desktop or visiting on mobile.

Unlocking an SEO moat is SaaS marketing goals.

What is it?

It's when a brand has invested so strategically into content & SEO that they captured space in the SERP for the vast majority of search terms associated with their market & ideal customers.

How do you do it? 👇
A brand that has built an SEO moat is a brand that establishes itself as an authority in the eyes of Google and can extract value from the global search behaviours of people around the world.

To get value. You must give value.

That's where it starts.

Creating valuable content.
Salesforce has an SEO moat.

You search “CRM” – Salesforce shows up in the top 3 results. Type “marketing automation” – Salesforce shows up in the top 4. Type “CRM software” or “CRM system” and once again they're in the top 4. And so on, and so on.

This is called an SEO moat.

Myth busters was a good show.

But there’s more myths in marketing than almost any industry.

Myths about SEO, content, growth and email.

I’m going to bust them.

Grab a coffee, save this thread and dive in 🧵

Here’s the myths holding many marketers and brands back:
More Content = More Traffic

This isn’t true. You can publish 200 blog posts a year and still not come close to generating as much traffic as another blogger in your niche who publishes 20 posts a year but has unlocked amazing distribution.

You need to remember this.
Ranking # 1 Is All That Matters

The top search results for a phrase in New York is often different from the top search result in Stockholm.

Even when they’re not localized…

The SERP is always changing. You could be ranking at the top one day and ranking fourth the next.
