That was a very elaborate piece of marketing copy
- pc86 1y agoWhat is it marketing? I'll admit I didn't read it super closely, but the closest thing I could find was the books that are only available in the US via Amazon but there doesn't seem to be a direct affiliation there. And the root page just seems to be a blog.
- horsawlarway 1y agoI did read it pretty closely as someone with a 3 year old who's working on reading. > The details for anyone who wants to replicate this can be found in a series of guides [with 3 links] But those are basically all "go buy my course" style posts. This was the hook, the links in the quoted section (you know the actual "how") are basically just "pay for the course". --- Overall - it's an okish post, but this is 100% marketing material to make money.
- horsawlarway 1y agoI think this is the underrated comment here. This appears to essentially be a "pay for my course" post. Very heavy on "my kid can read at 3!" very light on much useful information other than "this is for paid subscribers" and "you can buy it here". Looks like it basically boils down to "We did spaced repetition with phonics".
- subpixel 1y agoThere ought to be a way to filter and label posts that are part of a marketing funnel. Not to ban them but to recognize them.
- joewhale 1y agois that a good or bad thing?
- jacknews 1y agoAs I scrolled, and scrolled, and .... scrolled, I was reminded of aliexpress sales pages, or kickstarter pages, with their endless affirming details, and 'oh and another thing's, so yes I think you're probably right.
