No problem. Definitely can run ads for things like getting fans for facebook pages. Just start with a small budget and see if anything comes out of it.

If you think you can learn things in weeks then I'd suggest you teach yourself a language that some of the companies you are interested in work with. Then just hit them up in spring and say you taught yourself in only weeks so imagine how m

This looks very interesting but why is the start date november? Its a little inconvenient. Why not make it January to start at the beginning of the year?

You've got your foot in the door so that's awesome. I think the direction you are thinking of is correct. Try to run a small experiment for the B2C company for customer acquisition. Say spend 20 bucks on google ads and measure the results.

I'm sorry you feel that way but there's nothing wrong about me wanting to share my learnings and others' learnings with the world via email.

Blog is great but there's something to be said about having a small email tip in the inbox every morning. But I'm hearing all the feedback as it comes. Maybe at some point it might make sense for it to be a blog then I can switch.

@eoity the aim was never to harvest email addresses :) I'm doing this to spread things I learn everyday and what others have learnt.

Allright I'll give a simple tip for today. If you want to get lunch with someone in your company or are cold emailing them, tell them you want to hear their story . This way it touches their ego that someone actually thinks they are a big

Sure thing. By hustle tips, it could be either business/startup or lifehacks. Eg. I can share how to cold email someone or how to guess anyone's email.

I'd recommend making a list or just have a few startups you like. Find their founders and cold email them personally. Perhaps try to meet them and then build a relationship and then get to the ask i.e job.
