The article seems to be talking about "business advice" dispensed via tweets and Reddit comments? Why would anyone expect that to be of any value?
The answers to any of the follow-up questions posed in the article will vary greatly depending on the specifics of the business, so it's not surprising that there are no generally applicable yet specific answers. Even serious business advice/education from a reputable institution can really only provide you with an analytical toolbox or framework that you can then apply to the specific domain you are active in.
Ultimately, you get what you pay for (and if you're not careful, you might not even get that).
- jcrnkovic 3y agoI agree, yet I also know of some podcasts and books that give the same generic advice. All of these can be valuable for learning — I learned a ton from Reddit, YouTube and other media. I also agree that sometimes it can be too specific to the nature of the business, yet folks like Rob Walling can incredibly easily talk about how to structure emails that go out to potential customers, how to potentially price a SaaS based on different aspects, etc. Also, in one of his conference talks, Jason Cohen goes in depth on how to pick a good market with a recurring problem, instead of just saying “pick a good market”. In “The Mom Test”, Rob Fitzpatrick goes over a handful of potential conversations, and does not just say “talk to prospects”.
