One of the most useful design-related tools I've found is this color picker which generates complimentary colors for you based on model of your choice (triadic, analogous, etc.): https://www.sessions.edu/color-calculato

Chaz, great work creating this. My only thought is, I wonder how well these ecommerce emails perform. The majority of them are very image heavy, which affects deliverability and conversions. Some of them have most or all of their text and b

I would actually look up mid-size businesses you'd like to work with (who can use your skills) and email the owner or manager who works in an area related to your services. Let's say you're a developer. In this email, briefly

To add to this, it may take a long time to build a big enough audience to make money off ads. But you can use these educational articles as content marketing and lead generation for programming services (example: extract email addresses mee

Your story really resonated with me. I think one of the biggest issue education / society has not adequately addressed is, even with a curious mind, as a teenager, you don't get too many chances to learn what is out there and what

Have you taken a look at his main site? He's selling a course on growth marketing. I'm pretty sure being a freelancer journalist is not his main gig. Rather, this article was supposed to demonstrate one of the ways he was able to

Random: I'm surprised that Boosted Board is still using "perfect for the last mile of your commute" in their marketing slogan. All the influencers I've seen with it (like Casey Neistat) use it to commute pretty long dist

A lot of the students enrolled hoping to get a job later. The scam aside, this goes to show that too many people still believe in the old system: learn skill in school -> get job. Especially that one student who lamented now he can'

If you read the interviews of a lot of investors, many of them mention they invested because they believed so strongly in the founder. Afterwards, when their crazy concept works (example: Musk with SpaceX), these founders are lauded a visio
