Comment on Speed of Implementation and The Law of Shitty Click Throughs by Taylor Pearson

“By the time anyone has even noticed any imperfections, they’ve already moved on to the next channel.”

Yes! I see this all the time. Common mistake is to view the channel as the source of success of success and not speed. Instagram is the secret vs. being an early mover to any channel is the secret.

Would you take into consideration the wasted time being an early adopter to channels that never prove out a positive ROI?

If you deal at all in foreign markets, this is even more apt. I get CTRs 100x higher in undeveloped markets – something people hardly ever keep in mind when they consider the returns in those countries.

Great article Taylor! Enjoyed the read and I completely agree with you about ‘shitty clickthroughs’ lol. For some time, I’ve been seeing the death of e-mail and online ads but business owners insist on throwing their money at that black hole!

As a Digital Marketing & E-Commerce Specialist, I deal with analytics and click-through rates everyday, and they are not pretty. I also believe it comes down to the person’s ability to adapt and change to new technologies constantly. Businesses however,...

Good share on the helsinki bus! But that’s only after you answer 100% to “do I like this project enough to proceed” right :P.

This article does an excellent job of clearly illustrating the benefits of first mover advantage in a tangible way. I think everyone hears about “first mover advantage” at an abstract level, but very few truly understand the compound effect it can have.

Which explains why, when you look at some people “at the top” in a given industry (especially in marketing), it’s not readily apparent WHY they’re at the top. You can find inconsistencies and contradictions in their content…glitches and error...

Comment on Antifragile Planning: Optimizing for Optionality (Without Chasing Shiny Objects) by Charles Chu

Thanks again!

Hey Charles,

Glad you enjoyed it. I like Sebastian’s stuff a lot as well

Anything in particular jump out that you hadn’t used/seen before?

Taylor! Finally, someone as interesting as Sebastian Marshall! As soon as I read this post I went out and bought your book

I clipped your article to Evernote and spent half the day jotting notes and stealing all the best pieces for my own systems. I can tell we’ve been reading a lot of the same books–my three biggest influences are Taleb, Ferriss and Marshall.

It’s nice to see (a) what the systems look like when they’re refined to a point and (b) what kind of results they produce.

Same. Books are great. I don’t understand non-readers either.
