    Quickie - Marketing for Developers

    As I became a better developer over the years, I got worse at marketing. My brain can't seem to do both of those things at once. I put a post out on Twitter, and got some great responses that helped me a lot. Here's the thread: https://twitter.com/scottbolinger/status/1328750436031971328 In this episode I talk about the responses that I liked the most, and what I am doing with AppPresser marketing as a result. Enjoy!

    15. Tony Perez - What Being Acquired is Really Like

    Tony started Sucuri, a security company, which was acquired by GoDaddy a few years ago. In this episode he gets real about what acquisition is really like as an entrepreneur, and it's not what you might expect. Tony tells us the struggles he had, including depression and self-doubt, and how there is very little fanfare in this process.  I like to hear from Tony because he plays in the big leagues, even before they were acquired they were doing 8 figures, and now they are with a multi-billion dollar company. Enjoy!

    13. Corey Haines - Head of Growth at Baremetrics

    Corey talks about how they are moving the needle with growth at Baremetrics, and he also breaks down a simple 2 step process for small teams and bootstrappers to think about marketing. 1. Talk to customers. Learn what they want and need to inform both product development and marketing materials. Use their language in your tweets, website copy, etc. 2. Build in public. Sell the dream, not just screenshots. Taylor Otwell is a good example. Corey also talks about how he uses mental models to inform his marketing efforts.
