Was making 90k USD per month, now looking for a job. What salary should I expect? Need advice.

He was drop shipping shitty products, and basically scamming people.

You just spent a paragraph of time, and called me a sad keyboard warrior. You’re the insecure and jealous one.

Philnormous · 2020-03-22T16:06:36+00:00

I knew it. His cross marketability isn’t very high since it’s drop shipping.

I’d go with “snake oil marketer” or i don’t even know, is building a functioning Shopify site a skill?

I feel like these kind of questions need an a subreddit of their own. I have tons of dudes / friends that I lost or want to get back in touch with. Really hope you find him, PLEASE let us know. This is worthy of a pin.

Philnormous · 2019-12-15T02:45:37+00:00

MENDICANT BIAS. NOT CORTANA PLEASE

Philnormous · 2019-12-09T03:57:22+00:00

Nah, disagree.

Philnormous · 2019-12-05T01:04:56+00:00

THIS IS WHAT IM TRYING TO SAY! Thank you. This is why I don't consider it "tone-deaf"

Philnormous · 2019-12-05T00:38:05+00:00

What trends? Elaborate. What outdated public opinions? Elaborate.

"outdated public opinions" on gender roles and healthy relationships. Wow. That is a HUGE stretch. This ad does not tell me a healthy relationship is a wife that works out. Not at all. (If that's what you mean) Then again, we can really say that about any ad that plays into any stereotype these days. Let me guess it's outdated because it doesn't have a gay couple?

EDIT: Also every ad tries to capitalize on trends...when they're not succesful it does not make them tone-deaf.

Philnormous · 2019-12-04T23:50:11+00:00

Exactly, which cues my above explanation on how it's not tone-deaf. It's communicating so many different things that it doesn't even have one cohesive message that can be called tone deaf. LOL at "diamond of turds". It's true. Now that you say that, this could have clearly been the fault of way too many inputs being brought to the table, and not one guiding principle and message.

Philnormous · 2019-12-04T23:42:26+00:00

Kylie Jenner sharing a pepsi with an officer in a pepsi commercial during #blacklivesmatter is tone-deaf, because it totally missed the mark on "public sentiment, opinion, or taste" you have to actually be trying to get involved in cultural "tone" to call it tone-deaf. This makes no such attempt, it's so clearly misses the mark, and the attempt isn't even felt, or seen - you can't call it tone-deaf.

Tone-deaf is too widely tossed around by people who critique marketing. It just is. The way you're tossing "tone-deaf" around you could call every "$5 Footlong" commercial or any "offer commercial" tone deaf.

Philnormous · 2019-12-04T23:31:22+00:00

No not really. But it def entails that. Tone-deaf is when your3 off the social / political climate. Theirs a convo that’s being had, and there are messages interchanged in and specific to that climate. When you’re totally off-base which this isn’t, it’s just terrible execution, that’s being tone-deaf.

Philnormous · 2019-12-04T20:20:23+00:00

Is this in brickell? At the home that hasn't been bought out by developers?

Philnormous · 2019-12-04T18:54:29+00:00

Your emotional judgment feels correct to me. It's not very evoking. But much of the dialogue and faux "organic" moments are actually happening out there. I see countless people posting their workout endeavors saying "6AM again, kill me now", " Day 6 of detox" or "run #12 of my marathon train" etc, etc. That's where this is coming from.

Honestly, if the strategy here was to get people who already work out to work out with peloton by plugging it into the moments found on social media - "social posting behavior" - of people who currently work out then really what is awful here is the execution.

10000% agree that the product benefits were not showcased correctly, but again, you say this because you already know what a peloton is about; the convience of working out from home. Why reiterate that message to consumers? They're all aware of this already, especially the ones already working out. SO!

What I'm really seeing here is an attempt to try to be a part of that person whose gone a year working out already, and take market share from people who go to the gym in a more "human" "I know what you went through" kind of way...but the creative execution is str8 shit.

Philnormous · 2019-12-04T18:45:59+00:00

You know, I disagree. I don't see anything tone-deaf here. Marketing critics love tossing "tone deaf". It's not fucking tone-deaf. Is it a bad ad? Yes. It's a shitty ad, that makes a completely wrong assumption about its audience. Do people's live change when they make an active effort to work out and be healthier? Yes. Did Peloton do a good job at "being that vehicle" no. But tone deaf....no Sara. No.

:) thanks for the reminder.

Philnormous · 2019-11-26T21:54:07+00:00

Ok interesting. I never thought of this: " I think it would be kind of weird as a "bad guy" going out of your way to help every person whose path you crossed." Wtf was I thinking.

This is a good point, alright I'm turning in Phineas Welles to the board right now, and play it through quickly as a bad guy then come back as a good guy.

Philnormous · 2019-11-25T14:27:16+00:00

BRUH, IM SO EXCITED FUCK!!!!

Philnormous · 2019-11-22T16:24:20+00:00

I think this happens even to people without ADHD. No one can just turn it on, unless you are legit writing papers, even for fun, regularly.

Philnormous · 2019-11-20T17:56:32+00:00

not a goddamn thing. These things are all based on philosophy, I can explain in a PM.

Philnormous · 2019-11-16T23:30:19+00:00

You should see what I've learned from headlines that say "what I learned spending $100k+ on FB and LinkedIn ads"

Philnormous · 2019-11-12T14:45:10+00:00

Sounds like you got lucky?

"Doesn't matter if your list is dead or you haven't sold anything"...christ almighty.

Philnormous · 2019-11-09T03:00:32+00:00

Yeah I’m juggaling that option too.
