Baratunde Thurston Wants You to Be Part of Nature. Right Now. The author of “How to Be Black” and host of the “How to Citizen with Baratunde” podcast wants you to experience the outdoors with a new PBS television series. ........ “I got to hang out with true outdoor enthusiasts and was reminded that you don’t have to be obsessive, or particularly well-resourced, to enjoy the outdoors.” ......... I also met people just in their backyards who maybe don’t have the gear, the car rack, or a subscription to an outdoor magazine, but they know the value of putting their hands in dirt and growing food. ......... The most challenging by far: sand surfing. Walking in sand, first of all, it’s not fun. That’s a great challenge. I really toned my calves and my glutes and my thighs. ........ and when you go down a sandy hill, you have to walk back up. There’s no shortcut. It was a lot! .......
Death Valley was full of life.
It was our first shoot and pretty quickly, I was as offended as the Indigenous people by the name because it just sounds barren. .......... Of course, being with the Timbisha Shoshone members, who say this place should be called Timbisha, not Death Valley just because some white dude got lost. That’s disrupted expectations just because of what it’s called. ............ Minnesota is having mad fires now. We couldn’t see Lake Superior. I had to wear an N95 mask when we weren’t shooting, because it was burning inside. ......... The Indigenous people I spoke to have a culture of being a part of nature, as opposed to apart from nature. We got to relearn that. That was a really big takeaway for me, especially as the climate gets more volatile in the next decades. .If you’re disciplined, 4 years of self-education will get you 10x farther than a 4-year degree.

The Marketing Genius Of Lil Nas X
💡The marketing genius of Lil Nas X
— Marketing Examples (@GoodMarketingHQ) February 4, 2020
THREAD ...
1/ When Lil Nas X dropped out of college to pursue music he didn’t write many song.
— Marketing Examples (@GoodMarketingHQ) February 4, 2020
His sole focus was on growing an audience.
He lived on Twitter, made friends, and got popular posting memes. Quickly his account grew to 30,000 followers.
2/ The plan was to use his following to promote his music. But it wasn’t that simple.
— Marketing Examples (@GoodMarketingHQ) February 4, 2020
“I’d post a funny meme and get 2,000 retweets. Then I’d post a song and get 10.“ — @LilNasX
3/ So Nas got creative.
— Marketing Examples (@GoodMarketingHQ) February 4, 2020
He stopped tweeting SoundCloud links and started writing a song he could promote through memes.
“It had to be short. It had to be catchy. It had to be funny.“ — @LilNasX
4/ Old Town Road was the result.
— Marketing Examples (@GoodMarketingHQ) February 4, 2020
Nas paired it with a video of a dancing cowboy and shared it with his followers: https://t.co/TOEHUbYDmj
5/ The video went viral. So Nas stuck to this formula:
— Marketing Examples (@GoodMarketingHQ) February 4, 2020
• Short viral videos
• To the tune of Old Town Road
• Full song linked underneath
As an unknown artist, it was the only way he could get the word out. And the views started piling up.
6/ Inspired by Old Town Road's success on Twitter it spread to TikTok, and even onto Billboard’s country music charts.
— Marketing Examples (@GoodMarketingHQ) February 4, 2020
Yes, the country music charts. Nas listed it as a country song aware that the charts were less competitive.
7/ One week later Billboard removed it for “not being a country song”.
— Marketing Examples (@GoodMarketingHQ) February 4, 2020
Ironically, this was the best thing that could have possibly happened.
Billboard's decision turned Old Town Road into a national talking point and two weeks later it was No. 1.
8/ Nas wasn't stopping. He lined up remixes with some of music's biggest stars.
— Marketing Examples (@GoodMarketingHQ) February 4, 2020
Billboard has a loophole where remix plays count towards the original song's chart placement.
With every remix millions more streams poured in, and Old Town Road became impossible to budge.
9/ 17 weeks later he'd broke Mariah Carey’s record for the most consecutive weeks at No. 1.
— Marketing Examples (@GoodMarketingHQ) February 4, 2020
It’s easy to forget what an extraordinary story this is.
5 months earlier, Nas was a college dropout sleeping on his sister’s couch with a negative balance in his Wells Fargo account.
10/ “A lot of people like to say a kid accidentally got lucky. No. This was no accident.“ — @LilNasX
— Marketing Examples (@GoodMarketingHQ) February 4, 2020
The more I learned about Nas the more I believed him.
11/ A key moment in Old Town Road's rise was a video of a man standing on a galloping horse going viral on Twitter.
— Marketing Examples (@GoodMarketingHQ) February 4, 2020
The audio was set to Old Town Road. Different versions of the video were viewed millions of times.
12/ I wanted to know how the video spread, so I did some digging and found it first posted on the 24th December:
— Marketing Examples (@GoodMarketingHQ) February 4, 2020
I asked the Twitter user why he made the video. He told me Nas had DM'd him the idea. But it doesn't end there ... https://t.co/BkrVe1TIrl
13/ Aware that people watching the video would search the full song, Nas changed the song title on YouTube and SoundCloud to include the lyric from the viral video.
— Marketing Examples (@GoodMarketingHQ) February 4, 2020
He also posted the lyric on Reddit which ranked on Google: pic.twitter.com/41FoqOflks
14/ Things didn’t happen to Nas. Things happened because of Nas.
— Marketing Examples (@GoodMarketingHQ) February 4, 2020
Virality is not mystical.
Take a peek behind the curtain. Nas is sitting in his underpants, on his sister's couch, iPhone in hand, making the whole thing happen.
15/ No one knew him. No one cared about his music. No one promoted anything for him.
— Marketing Examples (@GoodMarketingHQ) February 4, 2020
He made friends, made them laugh, and built an audience.
Then he packaged his song in a way that fit into their life. https://t.co/DCp02WAWfd

The Appeal Of Network Marketing
The Appeal Of Network Marketing
By Paramendra Bhagat (www.paramendra.com)
I signed up for network marketing not long back. I don’t plan to quit doing the other things I am doing – tech consulting, my tech startup idea, my interest in Nepal hydro – but I am so glad I signed up. I once delved into it before I moved to New York City in 2005. I liked the business model, but I was on the road too much at the time to put in any serious effort. I was already familiar with the business model and a believer. What struck me this time was the products and services were things people were already using. There was this potential for mass appeal.
Traditional companies and distribution networks spend a ton of money on advertising. Network marketing companies do not spend on advertising. Instead they give that money to the marketers in their network. It is not a scam. It is a legitimate business model. Compare the million dollars you need to launch a McDonald’s franchise to the 500 dollars I had to put in to get started. That is a no brainer. This might be the only shot most people might have at business ownership.
There is hard work involved. This is not easy money. Many people sign up and quit because they thought it was effortless and it is not. And it does work. On October 3 Michael Maser showed up at my house. He flew in from Miami just for the event. He is my upline Senior Vice President, the top achievement in the business. He has been at it for 12 years now. He started part time. Then he quit his job once his income from the business matched his income from his job. Now he makes close to 80,000 dollars a week from the business. I saw those figures on his iPad. My most famous local upline is a Bangladeshi guy called Rahman: a bundle of energy and determination. Rahman signed up and made 150,000 dollars in his first four months. You might have seen Santanu at the TD Bank. He currently makes 8,000 dollars a month from the business.
Maser might make a few million a year, but that is not a billion. This is not a billion dollar idea for those who sign up, although it is for the founders of the company. A successful tech startup might be a billion dollar idea. But a million dollars is a lot of money. Less than 5% of Americans make more than 100,000 dollars a year. Rahman made 175,000 dollars in the past six months alone. The dude was driving a cab when he signed up, although he did have a calling card business on the side, which he still operates.
People sign up, go to an event, get excited, and then they go approach a few people and the force of rejection hits them so hard they either lose steam, or quit. The thing is you are not trying to convince people. Prequalifying is important. That way you reject them. They don’t reject you. You ask a set of prequalifying questions. Unless they prequalify, you don’t even bring up the topic. Once they prequalify, you bring it up the right away. And then you are ready for their answer: yes or no.
The support system is a tremendous aspect of the business. You are an independent business owner, but you are not on your own. Your uplines are so willing to go out of the way for you. Michael Maser showed up at my house before I had signed up my first person. Why would he do that? He would do that because he is part of a tremendous support system.
This is not for everybody, but it is for many more people than those that have already signed up. One speaker said, go find the PHDs: poor, hungry, driven people. Or go sign up business owners, people who are already striving to make a buck or two.
More than 99% of the people out there work jobs. Business ownership can feel like a leap of faith. It always strikes me how easy it is to misunderstand this very simple business. The mind keeps flying off of tangents for many new signups. Think about it, if the company is the same, the product and services are the same, and it is the same support system, it has got to be you. You are the reason why it is not working for you. You can become an Independent Business Owner for 500 dollars. But unless you are committed to being a team player and someone who seeks to go through tremendous personal growth, you might not make it. Most people fail because they give up. Most people fail because they do not make use of the support system. You plug into the system, and you plug your downlines into the system. And you learn. You soak it up every step of the way. Speakers get up to speak. You take notes.
Santanu who makes 8,000 dollars a month only signed up five people. He now has 800 people in his network and 18,000 customers. Those five people brought people who brought people who brought people. And all that happened in 12 months. You get the idea.
Some people first sign up as customers. Later they might or might not end up being Independent Business Owners. That is also a nice route to take.

Sales And Marketing Are Important
English: Red Pinterest logo (Photo credit: Wikipedia) |
The Secret Behind Pinterest’s Growth Was Marketing, Not Engineering, Says CEO Ben Silbermann
now the third-largest source of referral traffic on the Internet .... The way Pinterest grew had little to do with Silicon Valley wisdom. It was about marketing — mostly grassroots marketing — not better algorithms. ..... In 2010, three months after Pinterest launched, the site had only 3,000 users. ..... So Pinterest started to have meet-ups at local boutiques, and to take fun pictures of people who attended them, and to engage with bloggers to do invitation campaigns like “Pin It Forward,” where bloggers got more invites to the site by spreading the world. ....... Fundamentally, the future is unwritten ..... he himself thought for a while that the secret to Pinterest’s growth woes would be finding some undiscovered Stanford grad student to build a better algorithm.

Online Marketing For A Construction Business
5 ways to effectively market your construction business online
Establishing a strong online presence requires hard work, perseverance and a commitment to your goals. ..... Whether you’re hoping to use online marketing to jumpstart a new construction business or give some oomph to one that’s already existing ...... Having a strong online presence is critical to success .... outbound marketing approaches (websites and blogs) cost a fraction of inbound marketing expenditures while still producing a far greater marketing ROI ..... find your strongest niche service — something that you know your company can promote as being the best, fastest, cheapest, etc. — and then run with it. .... Controlling costs means making tough decisions, especially when it comes to marketing. Always measure the value of marketing costs by calculating the potential profits they’ll bring in. ..... Connect your business to social media. ..... If your business isn’t on Facebook and other social media platforms, then you’re missing out on an essential — and relatively inexpensive — online marketing tool that can expose a plethora of potential clients to your businessConstruction Internet marketing
Internet marketing for the construction industry has exploded in the past 5 years.
