What was the bounce rate, avg visit time and conversion rate (email signup) between people who came from the non-designed vs. designed ad though? A higher clickthrough rate isn't necessarily better if more of the people…
One of the most useful design-related tools I've found is this color picker which generates complimentary colors for you based on model of your choice (triadic, analogous, etc.):…
What made the biggest difference for me was using a text to speech reader to proofread and edit. You are able to catch a lot of phrasing that looks ok but sounds wrong or awkward this way.
Agree the post over-complicates this. Also, the message and approach should be very different depending on who you're reaching out to and for what reason (example: getting a job versus getting a client). Providing value…
Chaz, great work creating this. My only thought is, I wonder how well these ecommerce emails perform. The majority of them are very image heavy, which affects deliverability and conversions. Some of them have most or…
Search Engine Roundtable conducted a survey after the medic update, here are the categories of websites that were affected: https://s3.amazonaws.com/images.seroundtable.com/google-medi... (Health accounted for the…
As other people have already commented, Gumroad raised venture capital (https://medium.com/s/story/reflecting-on-my-failure-to-build...) before. Sahil had to revert Gumroad to a solo lifestyle business after it didn't…

Have you taken a look at his main site? He's selling a course on growth marketing. I'm pretty sure being a freelancer journalist is not his main gig. Rather, this article was supposed to demonstrate one of the ways he…
Maybe the time and effort demands of both wouldn't have allowed it but given how Patrick's personal debt grew, it seems it would have helped to do at least a little bit of consulting while he was working on Appointment…
