Hey. I'm Harry Dry, founder of Marketing Examples. AMA 👇

by
Two and a half years ago, I started Marketing Examples. People liked the case studies. So I left my job and went full-time. Since then, they've been read by more than one million people. Which... still blows my mind. Ask me anything about growing the site and newsletter to 90,000 subscribers. Or share what you're working on and get a few quick marketing and copywriting tips. Cheers. Update #001 — Replying atm. Update #002 — All done. Thanks. Молитви за Україну

Love your landing page tips. What no-code landing page tool do you recommend for service-based business (eg community, coaching, courses, consulting, etc)?
Harry Dry
@liana_fricker Hey Liana — Thank you very much. Sorry to give such a non answer. But I have absolutely no idea in this space. Can only wish you luck. Perhaps Google MakerPad (I hear it's pretty good)
Pete
Congrats on all your growth mate. How would you grow the No CS Degree newsletter? :)
Harry Dry
@petecodes Hey Pete — Appreciate it Sir. Hope all's well with you. So, firstly, I think you could improve conversion on your site. • A more specific format. Right now you're hook is ”Get inspiration for learning to code” That's too vague for me. Get specific. E.g. 3 tips from No CS developers 2 success stories from the community 1 inspiring tweet • Add social proof to the popup ____________ Then the other half the battle is open rates and traffic. Re open rates • I'd encourage people to reply to the first email • I'd encourage unsubscribes. The “lazy mans” unsubscribe is mark as spam. That will massively hit your deliverability. So you really want to make it as easy as possible for folks to unsubscribe. • I'd encourage people to add to your address book. ______ And traffic. Ahh. It's midnight and I'm exhausted. Will have to hold that for another day :) Good luck man.

Hey @harrydry, I love your stuff. I'm sure you're getting loads of offers because you're so good at marketing. Would you consider leaving Entrepreneurship and working for someone else?
Harry Dry
@ckpleiser Hey Carsten — Congrats on the launch today. And the very kind words. I'll keep the answer short. No. Good luck with Paperless :)

Hey Harry! Thanks for your work, I'm often inspire by you in my marketing activities. I have two questions for you: 1. I heard today that "Ideas are easy. Implementation is hard". Since you give people mainly ideas, inspiration, would you agree that they may not cope with execution by themselves? 2. Would you consider using a tool to share your marketing/copywriting tactics if it exists or would you prefer still doing it your way, so in the loose feed like in your famous Marketing Examples? Thanks for your answers in advance! :)

@lena_krzemieniewska Hey Lena — Thank you very much. Appreciate it. 1/ Oh... I couldn't agree more. Easy to talk about the “perfect cold email template”. Another thing to get up of your ass (well actually sit down on your ass) and send 50 of them every day! But I also think it's not a numbers game. Working as hard as Floyd Mayweather with no real strategy or plan won't get you anywhere! 2/ I don't really understand the question. But I'm quite happy sharing as is. On the website and social media.

Does marketing for software developers exist? What would be your strategy to nail it?
