@MarkoSaric @dhh Hey @MarkoSaric I am one of your satisfied customers. Love the weekly and monthly mails. 2nd fav feature: can make the Analytics public. One req: can I download all popular pages? Makes it easy to analyse.
@beaucurtis @randfish @ciaranj Remember, Michael Porter who wrote the authoratative book on strategy filed for bankruptcy while the no-credential Bombay wallas have been running their profitable business for more than a century. More here:
@beaucurtis @randfish @ciaranj yes if you can achieve the objective. We club everything into one bucket and assess similarly. Deciding which dress to wear doesn't need same decision making skills as deciding to launch a rocket. Some jobs need credentials; not all.
@CalmAchiever Meetings Unclear expectation Lack of facilitation
Don't forget to follow me here on twitter. Did I say, I have an email newsletter too? If you want to build flywheels for Wealth, Network, Insights, and Self-control, you should subscribe. I send out every Wednesday. Think of it as Wednesday Wisdom
People now want to follow and hear from real humans. So don't hesitate to talk about your vulnerabilities, problems, and struggles. That is what makes it a personal newsletter
Nathan and Tiago talk much more. They talked about newsletters, selling via newsletters, building cohort based courses... Interesting discussion. Listen here:
Tiago has many forms. His forms conversion ratio is about 3% Forms in his home page converts the most
Send newsletter at the same day / time. Your subscribers should know when they will get an email from you. There should be predictability for your subscribers.
How to grow the newsletter? If you have coffee with someone, talk to them about your newsletter and ask if you can add them to your newsletter (at least in the begining)
This was not discussed during this conversation. But it is good to remember what @jackbutcher tweeted once: > difference between 1% and 2% conversion is 100%
How often should you send newsletter? Everyday? Once a week? Twice a month? Density of value in your emails determines the frequency. If you can offer value everyday, send everyday. (Think of @jonathanstark; he sends daily)
Think of newsletter as a stadium. A stadium has many entrances. Your newsletter should also have many entrances. - Homepage - Subscribe Forms in every post - Middle of popular posts - Subscribe links in your newsletter But @fortelabs doesn't have pop-up forms.
@NujSchool @ProfSanjay_IIMC @kg_suresh @NUJIndiaOrg @ashokmalik @pramodsaini69 @SansadMarg Thank you for the kind words

@austinschless Just today read this: And then your tweet. Going to follow this. Thanks.
@austinschless How do you take this screenshot? He obviously didn’t tweet in succession.
What is on the surface, like tools and processes, churn faster. If you want to last longer in a field with respect, focus on fundamental principles governing it.
A man came to Ogilvy wanting to advertise the opening of his hotel. He had just $500. Ogilvy bought $500 worth of postcards and sent invitations to everybody he found in the local telephone directory. The hotel opened with a full house.
Principles are the opposite. They determine whether you thrive or fade away. Let me tell you what happens you know the fundamental principles of your field, in the next tweet 👇
We get carried by the visible. They are easy to debate, discuss, and dissect. - fonts and colors on your website instead of content - camera, lenses instead of principles of photography - Jira (or Basecamp) instead of training in project mgmt All are pretentious veneer
@linuz90 Worse yet. Indian manager: I sent you a ping in your dream. You didn’t acknowledge 😭
@Abhishek_Rai I am following in instagram a junior in my college. She is a photographer but also promotes other indie Indian products - personalized calendars, fashion dresses, home made masala items ...I have not yet bought since they are not shipped to chd; but if possible, will buy those
@LumaHQ This is the invite email upon registration. There is no "Add to calendar" link here.
@vijayanands Thanks Vijay for doing this.
@HLGuruPrasad Another friend @sejalsud also talks highly of the book. I have only read summary of it. Thanks Guru.
@fortelabs Assuming these are google docs. If so, surprising it is in GDocs and not in Roam or Evernote. Any particular reason?
@tyfgibson Thanks for making this point @tyfgibson. Paul and Peter didn't start a ministry in their own names. They started and nourished local churches and leaders. It is time, we go back to roots and build from there.
@CalmAchiever Thanks Ali. Looks interesting. I am now binge reading @fortelabs books. Once done, will check this out.

@Stabadie I haven't read it. But many people in my social circle recommend it. What didn't sit right with you?
@Stabadie Only 21? You are lucky :-)
@NKoachIN @CalmAchiever Thank you @NKoachIN
@CalmAchiever @NKoachIN That's the way to look at building our relations. "Interesting conversations on topics I love". That's why I love @bramspiero setting up one on one conversations with @visualizevalue folks. So far, I had fantastic one-to-one converstations.
@karanshukla27 would love to. are you in chd?

As a software engineer, I loathed networking. Once I understand what it is and the power of it, I can't stop talking to people and help them have a great day.
Put together a hit list of 50 people you’d like to stay in touch with this year. Ever since I read this, I have made a list of nice folks and covering that list 3 per week. Joining active community like @visualizevalue helps
Law of reciprocity plays an important role in increasing the number of people who wants you to succeed. Law of reciprocity requires: - giving to the group - abundance mindset - actively seeking out opportunities to help others
Phases of growing relationship: visibility, credibility, and profitability - Visibility: create recognition & awareness - Credibility: walk the talk; talk with your results - Profitability: If it doesn’t profit both partners, it will not endure
