it isn't BS to get attention. it may be BS in your opinion and that's fine to say that.
but i put the list together as talking points for a talk with the entire Etsy team yesterday at lunch.
it was a serious effort even though it only took me 15 minutes. some things that you learn over 25 years in the business can be codified in less than 15 minutes
- nico 17y agoI don't think that getting attention or trying to get it is BS, marketing is all about getting attention, and that is very important. I just think 15 minutes is not what would be regarded as substantive in preparing for a talk. Probably it took you about the same time to post the list in your blog, hence it looks as if promoting yourself is a lot more important than even the content you use to do so.
