⭐️ Quickly solves agonising neck pain

⭐️ Help people who live in super warm countries to sleep easier due to having a cooling pillow

🧖🏻‍♀️Brand tone:

Aim to portray a “Luxury” brand tone

This means you can have a high perceived value, and charge more for your products

Have congruency across your whole funnel to portray trust by having your
emails, social media & website all giving off this “boutique” vibe
🧖🏻‍♀️Store Design:

Soft & professional colours (white, creme, light blue)

Fancy “luxurious” fonts

Clean layout (nothing spammy, no popups)

High Quality images with white backgrounds

Not crammed together- make everything spaced out, lots of white space (adds to the luxury vibe)
🧖🏻‍♀️Website Copy:

Make your copy benefits driven

Why should they buy your pillow instead of any other pillow?

Use the Pain ➡️ Proof ➡️ Resolution Formula

You need to further emphasise this “luxury” presence you’re emitting:

Use words like “sumptuous” “deluxe” “Lavish” etc
🧖🏻‍♀️ Potential Copy Angles to Use:

Affordability– Compare Price Of The Pillow in the long term to Expensive Surgery Or Chiropractor Visits

Fear– Play on Possibilities of Surgery when they’re Older

Attractiveness – Sell Idea Of How Attractive they’ll look with their Great Posture
Insecurity – Play on their Insecurities about their Posture & how It affects them

Self-Esteem – Sell them on the confidence they’ll have when they don’t have bags under their eyes after a great night’s sleep
🧖🏻‍♀️Social proof:

Big testimonial, with a pic of somebody smiling, saying how they used the pillow and it solved {X} problem

User generated content to show IRL pics of people using the product

In depth reviews with pictures, emphasising the quality of product & customer service
🧖🏻‍♀️Offers you could use:

“Free shipping on all orders over $50” - incentives them to buy two to qualify for a better deal, increases our average order value

“Pay in monthly payments”

“Order Now for the cost of a night out, in order to save yourself from neck pains FOREVER!”
🧖🏻‍♀️Ad Creation:

Either design the ads yourself using “invideo”

Or pay somebody to make them for you (eg fiverr)

Use photos, but mainly videos

The first 5 seconds is key, this is where you “hook” them in

Make ads feel Native to the advertising Platform & not a sales pitch
🧖🏻‍♀️Potential Ad Copy you could use:

“Experienced Doctor Reveals the No.1 Solution to Neck Pain. The Secret Solution will SHOCK You!
{insert URL}”
🧖🏻‍♀️FB Ads Strategy:

Stage 1:

Aiming for Purchase Objective

ABO $/£10 per adset

10 different adsets ALL using the same 3-7 creatives you’ve got to use (at least 1 photo ad & two video ads)

The ONLY difference between each of the 10 adsets is the interests each one is targeting
Pick 1 Broad interest for each adset, if it’s too narrow we won’t be able to scale

Pick interests relative to your marketing angle

Leave the age & gender demographics as default

Target ePacket countries, or just the main 5 countries (higher CPMs however)
Potential interests you could target:

⭐️Pregnant women

⭐️Gamers

⭐️Neck pain

⭐️Chiropractor

⭐️Orthopaedics

⭐️Sleep tips

⭐️Self care

⭐️Posture problems
🧖🏻‍♀️Stage 2:

After 24 hours, kill all adsets without a Link Click

After 48 hours, kill all adsets without an Add to Cart or Initiate Checkout

After 48 hours, kill all adsets without a Purchase

Duplicate all of your “winning” adsets, and place them into a new CBO
🧖🏻‍♀️Stage 3:

Slowly increase the budget of the new “winning” CBO every day as your pixel’s becoming more & more optimised

Constantly test new creatives & interests every day (using stage 1 strategy), the aim is to find new “winning” adsets which can be added to this “winning” CBO
By this point you will be starting to find out who your “winning” audience is:

⭐️The main gender who buy from you

⭐️The main age group who buy from you

⭐️The common interests of people who buy from you
This is when we narrow down our targeting

For example, instead of broad targeting males + females aged 13-65, we now only target women who are aged between 47-63 (if that’s the prime buying demographic)

Use this data for the “winning” CBO & when testing new interest adsets
This is also when we need to check which are the “winning” creatives

See which creatives have the highest Click-Through-Rate

Stop using the ones with the lowest CTR

Analyse where people click off & use this as reference when creating future creatives

Eg improve your CTA phase
🧖🏻‍♀️Stage 4:

Keep running these ads to build up data for your Lookalike Audiences

DON’T start LLAs until you have atleast 100 different events for each metric

Start with the basic LLAs (viewed content) and build them up over time to create the more advanced LLAs (Purchases)
Remember, it’s a testing game

You’re constantly testing to find out what works most profitably & most consistently

This is why you test all Lookalike percentages 0-1%,1-2% ... 9-10%

Although on paper 0-1% should work best, you’d be surprised

This is why we test them all
🧖🏻‍♀️Stage 5:

Start retargeting campaigns for all people who have VC over 50%, viewed your website, ATC, IC

These are cheap due to lower CPMs as Facebook doesn’t need to find new people to target

Give the customer and extra incentive to come back & buy:

Additional discount code
🧖🏻‍♀️Google Ads Strategy:

Use google search ads & google shopping

Target keywords relative to the product:
-orthopaedic pillow
-neck pain pillow
-posture correcting pillow
Etc

Don’t use keywords with too much competition (high CPM & hard to rank), but try to find untapped winners
Enjoy 🥂

A product like this is scalable to the moon 🚀

This is because it has such wide spread appeal

&

It’s unsaturated

So don’t worry about someone getting there before you, just be unique in your approach

There’s bread to be shared around 🙌🏽

1. A thread on Downtown #Vancouver's office construction boom. When it's all said and done there will be roughly 10 million SQ FT of space will be added to just the core.

Here's a brief rundown on what is already approved and under construction...

2. We'll start with what is dubbed as Amazon's unofficial HQ2, or at the very least it's Canadian HQ. At 1.1 million SQ FT this is the largest office development in the city and will help shift DT east as it will house 7500 jobs once occupied.


3. The Amazon building is also significant because it will animate that stretch of West Georgia, Homer, Hamilton and Dunsmuir. It will no longer be a black hole for pedestrian activity. There will be approx. 185,000 square feet of retail and food hall space.

4. Next up is the Stack Tower to be anchored by EY. It's at the western edge of the Central Business District (CBD) and will become #Vancouver's tallest office building when complete. It clocks in at roughly 540,000 SQ FT and 530 feet in height.

5. Recently approved Steam Plant tower has a unique design and large floor plates. With nearly 600,000 SQ FT of office space, this is the second largest office tower that we could see. My bet is that this tower will start to take shape in a year or

I spoke to 1,000+ companies over the last 6 months about their plans for remote work going forward

Here are a few things I've learned

[ a thread ] 💻🏠🌍

🏢 HQ's are finished: companies will cut their commercial office space by 40-70%

The will allow every worker to work from home 2-4 days a week, and come into the office 1-2 days a

🎡 home-office setup: Companies who cut their office spend will use that money to provide world-class setups for their teams at home

Companies who don't will lose people to companies who do

🌍 Fully distributed: ~30% of the companies we talk to are getting rid of the office entirely and going remote-first

Companies doing this have seen their workers decentralize rapidly, leaving expensive cities to be closer to family

⭐️ Access talent: The first reason they are going remote-first is simple – it lets them hire more talented people

Rather than hiring the best person in a 30-mile radius of the office, they can hire the best person in the world for every role

General Warning: don’t work for or hire @IanMmmm - he’s a zero-integrity-self-serving manipulator. He destroyed an entire org at AWS.

He’s the reason I left @awscloud. He’s not just incompetent, he’s dishonest in the extreme. You’re throwing away your career working with him.

Also, pro-tip: record every call you have with a manager that you suspect is lying to you.

Here's what happened: I lost my shit when I didn't get promoted, because I was a child. That's on me. I had worked my ass off for 3 years and Ian said that if I moved to Seattle and signed a non-compete then I would get my promotion. I did those things - I didn't get promoted.

What does losing my shit mean? I sent a message to Ian and others that said "Fuck you, I'm not moving to the depressive hell hole that is Seattle. I'm not signing a non-compete. I'm going to stop working 100 hours a week for a company that doesn't give a shit about me."

Later, I found out that Ian had never actually reached out to anyone about my promo document. He just lied. He just ignored it until the last second because he was too focused on taking credit for my work for his own promo document. He got promoted.

0/ If you’re an SMB operator and want to increase the value of your business, focus on 2 things above all else.

1. EBITDA: how much $ do you make
2. Risk: how reliable is the $ you make

Enough has been written about #1. Here are 5 things you can do to tackle #2:

[THREAD]

1/ All 5 of these tactics are a function of the same guiding principle:

Spend more time working ON the business, not IN the business.

Your job as CEO is to consistently:

- Identify opportunity
- Execute once
- Set process
- Delegate
- Fire yourself

With that said…

2/ Establish your focus

Most SMBs survive in the early days through 1-2 key customers.

If you do a good job, they'll give you more business.

That's the trap.

If it's not in your core focus, resist the urge.

If you don't you'll become a consulting firm for 1 customer.

3/ Eliminate Key Man Risk

SMBs are overly reliant on a small handful of individuals to run the operation.

Implication: Most knowledge about the business sits in the heads of a few people.

Take the time to develop strong Tier 2 management - this creates redundancy in the org

4/ Institute Operating Process

Strong Tier 2 management isn't good enough. You need knowledge to live in docs and systems, not just in brains.

Every dept should have a stand alone playbook.

An easy test: "how quickly can somebody that knows nothing about the dept. plug in?"

Story of Thumba Poo and Shiva

Thumba poo is a tiny white flower which grows in all areas. These flowers are used for treatment for sinus. Small children who have polyps in Nose are told to crush tumbha leaves and apply in nose part.
There is an interesting story of Thumba and


Mahadeva. Thumba flowers were not taken for Shiva Pooja. Saddened to this Thumba prayed sincerely and Mahadeva appeared before her.
She was surprised that Shiva had appeared before her. Instead of saying that she wants to under his feet always, she said
@SriramKannan77


She said that her feet should be on his head. Shiva accepted her prayers. It is because of this Thumba flower is placed in the head of Shiva Linga.

1. The major problem most startups face is marketing and the ability to carve out a niche, find and retain paying customers.

Even with a stellar developer team and a stellar product, your startup may not grow or survive without a great marketing and sales teams.

2. Start growing your audience before you’ve a product or an idea.

You should start promoting yourself and building your audience before you have a finished product or even before you have a great idea that you want to build.

3. Don’t wait to start building your audience after you’ve launched a product.

Most first-time developers actually ignore marketing.

They’re oblivious to the challenge of attracting people to take a look at something they’ve created.

4. At least until they see their first project crash and burn within hours of the launch.

There are so many times that I have seen developers spend countless hours building something, releasing it with no fanfare...

5. and only then trying to figure out how to promote it by asking marketing questions on Indie Hackers, Quora or Hacker News. Don’t make that mistake.

#3/thread on Angkor wat

Christianity and islam may be the largest religion of today’s world but Sanatan dharm has the largest religious monument in the world in the form of Angkor wat. It is situated in combodia and spread across over 400 acres / 1.6 km².


It was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1992, which encouraged an international effort to save the complex.
It was originally built as a Hindu temple dedicated to the god Vishnu. In Khmer, the Cambodian language, Angkor means "city" and Wat means "temple grounds".


So Angkor Wat means "Temple City". Its original name was Vrah Vishnuloka or Parama Vishnuloka, meaning the sacred dwelling of Vishnu in Sanskrit.
But, it gradually turned into a Buddhist temple towards the end of the 12th century & is still used for worship today.


Angkor Wat was initially designed and constructed in the first half of the 12th century, during the reign of Suryavarman II, as the king’s state temple and capital city. It was built without the aid of any machinery, as there was no machinery available at that time.


Evidence for these dates comes in part from inscriptions, which are vague, but also from the architectural design and artistic style of the temple and its associated sculptures.

Another aspect is that the five central towers of Angkor Wat symbolize the peaks of Mount Meru,

A THREAD ON @SarangSood

Decoded his way of analysis/logics for everyone to easily understand.

Have covered:
1. Analysis of volatility, how to foresee/signs.
2. Workbook
3. When to sell options
4. Diff category of days
5. How movement of option prices tell us what will happen

1. Keeps following volatility super closely.

Makes 7-8 different strategies to give him a sense of what's going on.

Whichever gives highest profit he trades in.


2. Theta falls when market moves.
Falls where market is headed towards not on our original position.


3. If you're an options seller then sell only when volatility is dropping, there is a high probability of you making the right trade and getting profit as a result

He believes in a market operator, if market mover sells volatility Sarang Sir joins him.


4. Theta decay vs Fall in vega

Sell when Vega is falling rather than for theta decay. You won't be trapped and higher probability of making profit.
