    What motivates you the most?

    I have a vision for my family that requires me to be successful at what I do. Their safety and future are at stake. Anytime I feel like slacking, or doing something half-assed, I only need to think of them. My stomach churns at the thought of letting them down and forcing them into a grey...

    Paid traffic outside of search and social? Push notifications and Native?

    That's a pretty clever way to narrow the list down. Thanks! I do want to run non-US traffic. Had no idea these little ones existed. I got some friends with South American ties I'll have to put to work. And thanks for reminding me about Pinterest. Always slips my mind.

    Paid traffic outside of search and social? Push notifications and Native?

I always knew of them, but never really dug too much into them as I've been focusing mostly on search and social. But after watching some videos on push and native, I'm not going to be able to rest until I...

    Easy to use video editing

    For $19.99 a month you can get all of Adobe's software on a student discount, including their video editing software Premier.

    What did you get done today?

    Edited a few internal pages of a site that is getting great traffic (beating out WebMD for some powerful keywords), but has a horrible CR. Made it easier to read, worked on nicer and more attractive formatting, added pictures and new CTA. All things that should have been done initially but fell...

    Citigroup Trademarks "ThankYou" and sues ATT (it's partner) For Thanking Clients

    Just like the developers of No Man's Sky getting sued by Sky TV for having the word "sky" in the games title. It's nuts.

    What are your favorite "hustle mode" supplements?

    All this talk about Keto... I just finished a round of Whole 30 and fuck me if this isn't the best I've felt in a long time. Energy is through the roof, my sleep has be consistent, replenishing, and uninterrupted. My focus and creativity is noticeably improved. Just all around great.

    Recommend a marketing book

    Seconded. I have a hard copy permanently on my desk and a PDF of it on my Google Drive. In addition to the other suggestions in this thread, I would also add Ogilvy on Advertising. It's old but still a great read.
