Re: The Pitch Meeting Setup

Sean Percival — Sun, 02 Dec 2018 15:30:00 -0000

Hey Fred, we make a video meeting product that makes guest presenting like this easier. It's how we do presentations in all of our meeting rooms as well, including with guests. They can screen share with no login/app setup.

It's like Zoom with your own meeting room but it's on a simple URL. You just open it on any screen in the conference room. The guest does the same and you're both looking at the same presentation

It's avail at https://appear.in

Says you contacted investors but I don't see that email. If you need confirmation yes we invested and yes this company is fucking awesome. :)

Those banners were so funny. Myspace made them famous and I heard the CTR was insane for the time.

Fair point and I did know that. However marketers didn't really use Slashdot. They did use Digg.

Thanks for the feedback. I try to squeeze in at least 1-2 things any early stage company can take a run with.

Re: How to Talk to Investors about Marketing and Growth

Thanks for the great comment Kiran. With regard to the point of prematurely scaling customer acquisition I totally agree. I have personally scaled businesses too quickly resulting in an inevitable crash. The point I was trying to focus on was having some data around ACQ costs is better than nothing. Still seeing a lot of companies who are 1 year down the road without it. So even with small budgets it's good to start somewhere. Just like it's good to start building you company instead of just talk about.

I normally disagree with most things Fred writes so I don't think we're in sync on much. :) I do however appreciate that he's one of the few investors talking about it.

Thanks for the comment I agree, SaaS and B2B marketing is never covered very well online. We talk about this on the team and hope to start demystifying it soon.

There's lots of free marketing a tiny business can do. If anything being tiny and broke makes your scrappier which always helps.

At the same time, even allocating a tiny amount of money to a few tests is recommended. You're likely to learn a few things.

Platforms come and go but your name doesn't change very often. So I usually recommend people go long on "yourname.com" with a CMS. It's a lot like owning a home vs. renting the sexy newly built apartments across the street.

Wordpress is my favorite home and has been for awhile. Of course should it ever not be I know my data stored there is extremely portable. That's never guaranteed when you rent.

Re: 5 SEO Wins that Take 5 Minutes

Totally still a thing, just evolved.

Hours to add a tag to a document for webmaster tools? Not for most early stage companies with small nimble teams. I've done each task in under 5 minutes many times.

Re: louisgray.com: Aggregation Is Invisible In Google+ On Day One. Thank Goodness.

Sean Percival — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 12:13:52 -0000

It's really nice to not have the aggregation there. I agree.

However I wish my +1's from around the web did post to my stream instead of separate tab.
