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.
When I started my first job after school at a small local agency, a project manager once said something like: If someone has three companies on their CV and stayed less than a year in each, it doesn t look good.
I took that to heart. I tried to stay longer in every role, so I wouldn t seem unreliable, even in underpaid jobs I didn t enjoy. I endured it just to make my CV look stable. In hindsight, it was a little bit stupid. (Sometimes a waste of time.)
We are pumped to be launching ArianaAI on ProductHunt tomorrow! Ariana is a ChatGPT-powered AI assistant that lives in your WhatsApp. From daily tasks to travel or questions that take more than a single google search, Ariana is always there and you can chat to her as you would text a friend. I managed to grow our users to over 10k already (on both paid and free plans) - Ask Me Anything! Will be happy to share my strategy and hopefully help someone else! Check it out: https://www.producthunt.com/post...
It's Thanksgiving week and as we all reminisce on what we are thankful for this year I thought it would be fun to include products in the mix. What products are you thankful for?
I'm seeing more products launch on Product Hunt that require payment to actually use any features. No free trial, no freemium tier, just a download that leads straight to a paywall.
Part of me thinks this makes sense. If your product has real value, why give it away? People on Product Hunt understand they're looking at premium tools. Plus offering free access can attract users who will never pay anyway.
But I also see the argument for temporary free access during launch. Product Hunt users want to actually try what they're upvoting. How can they give meaningful feedback or become advocates if they hit a paywall immediately?
Today, I came across an article on TechCrunch: The great computer science exodus (and where students are going instead).
It shows that UC campuses saw a drop in computer science enrollment for the first time since the dot-com crash (6% in 2025, 3% in 2024), but students are shifting to AI-focused programs.
I recently bought the book "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill at a well-known bookstore for $4. I absolutely do not understand how this is possible, because I have to say that it is probably the best book I have ever read. And it was only $4, WTF?! So, what's the most powerful book you have ever read?
