In early 2024, I hit a wall. I was posting every single day, yet my engagement was flatlining. I felt like a hamster on a wheel running fast but going nowhere. I realized I didn’t have a traffic problem; I had a Creative Social Media Marketing Ideas problem. I was boring my audience (and myself) … Read more
Back in 2019, I was drowning in YouTube “gurus” promising me a Lamborghini if I just bought their course. I spent $500 I didn’t have, and learned absolutely nothing. Frustrated, I stumbled onto a dusty thread in an old forum. It wasn’t flashy, just raw text and data from a guy running actual campaigns. That … Read more
I remember staring at my screen late one night in 2023, watching a clip of a “revolutionary” new tech product that seemed too good to be true. I almost pulled out my credit card. But something felt off. After three hours of frustrating digging, I realized the video was actually five years old and for … Read more
I remember staring at the Advertise Your Business credit card statement a few years ago, feeling a literal pit in my stomach. I had just spent $600 “boosting” posts on social media because a guru said it was easy, and I had exactly zero sales to show for it. It felt like I was throwing … Read more
I remember sitting in a boardroom in late 2023, watching our CMO argue with the Product Lead. The CMO was cheering about a 400% ROAS on Facebook ads, while the Product Lead was fuming that our churn rate had just hit an all-time high. It felt like they were speaking two different languages. That was … Read more
I recall staring at a landing page I created in 2023. The design was perfect, the copy was snappy, but the conversion rate was stuck at a depressing 0.5%. I couldn’t figure it out until I looked at my main button. It just said “Submit.” It was the digital equivalent of a wet handshake. I … Read more
Rising inflation and stagnant wages make saving hard, but 2026 offers new digital tools to fix that. Most people think starting an online business requires thousands of dollars in inventory or complex coding skills. That is the old way. Today, you can build a scalable income stream simply by connecting people with products they actually … Read more
Managing tracking codes on a WordPress site can feel like herding cats. You want data, but you also want speed, and you definitely don’t want duplicate data. There are legitimate reasons to remove Google Tag Manager (GTM) from just your homepage. Maybe you are running a specific homepage experiment that conflicts with your tags. Maybe … Read more
We are living in the age of the “repost.” By the time a reverse video search engine is applied to your group chat, it has likely been screen-recorded, cropped, and filtered a dozen times. Whether you are a creator trying to find who stole your content or just trying to win a debate about a … Read more
Finding effective social media campaign ideas for small business owners usually feels like searching for a needle in a digital haystack. You see viral trends that require a film crew, but you only have an iPhone and a lunch break. The good news? The data has shifted. In 2026, audiences are actually rejecting overly polished, … Read more
🟢 The Top Bun (The Human Hook) I still cringe when I think about an email campaign I approved back in 2018. We were rushing, and I let a “Memorial Day Message to Clients! Enjoy the BBQ!” subject line slip through to our entire B2B client list. Ten minutes later, I got a reply from … Read more
“Happy Memorial Day!” Stop right there. That simple phrase is the most common leadership stumble of the year. While the long weekend marks the unofficial start of summer, the holiday itself is solemn, not celebratory. In 2026, emotional intelligence is the most valuable currency a leader has. Sending a tone-deaf email about “BBQs and blowouts” … Read more
Staring at your bank balance often triggers a paralyzing question: “What exactly should I do with my next dollar?” Should you pay off that nagging credit card? Throw money into Bitcoin?
