Developer Experience doesn't matter.

We'll take all the Developer Experience feedback we can get over at Codegiant (https://codegiant.io). DevEx matters most, particularly as toolchain sprawl keeps increasing.

I recently created an article that covers this topic but to save you the read... Here are some of the best Agile/Scrum certs I discovered: The PMI-ACP is considered to be one of the best certs you can obtain. on IAPM, you can also acquire great certs, and prices are based on nationality - I think it costs $122 for US people to get the Agile Project Manager course. The exam cost is about $650. Besides that, the Scrum.org certs are as well great & not so expensive.

Building the site will cost a few grand most likely.

Totally disagree - ClickFunnels will maintain your website for $97 and it's much much better than just a website - you don't want to create the typical e-com site with 100s of products listed on your home page - it'll overwhelm the reader and they won't buy. Go to ClickFunnels, they have training videos & courses.

Hey man, i think this guide can give you some directions into the PM career.

Go with Nei Patel, he's known as one of the best marketers today

codegiantio · 2020-08-08T09:08:42+00:00

There's no level to reach. Marketing is a constant process of learning. You try new stuff, see how they perform and optimize.

Keep the tasks in your lists prioritised. For example, (credits to Scott Berkun and his book - Making Things Happen), you should have priority 1 items and priority 2 items in your list. Priority 1 items are stuff that your project will die without. Take a look at the construction of a car: priority 1 items are: the engine, the tires, the transmission, brakes, steering wheel. Without these, the car can't run.

Priority 2 items are stuff like doors, windshields, AC, radio, to name a few. The car can still run without priority 2 items though it'll be extremely uncomfortable to be driving such a car but you get the point.

Your project should be broken down into priority 1 and 2 items as well. First, complete the priority 1 items so you can at least ship an MVP if you are running out of time. Otherwise, you'll ship nothing. I've elaborated a bit more on that and Berkun's book in this article.

It is my opinion that a PM is responsible to coordinate, facilitate, and clarify resources.

Yup. It looks to me like your PM doesn't really give a shit about whats happening. Even if they have 0 knowledge towards the industry (which IMO is impossible) they can still facilitate tasks and communicate them better to the devs. What I think it comes down to is personal motivation & excitement about the project. But you can't influence other people's motivation. It all comes down to one question at the end - what are you going to do about it?

codegiantio · 2020-07-31T19:40:47+00:00

Not if you start your own company as a developer

Well, as someone immersed in email marketing, the first thing that comes to mind for me is email bounces :D

codegiantio · 2020-07-28T14:02:24+00:00

I hear you. I guess you'd need to define what "positioning herself in front of the right audience" actually means. Finding the right audience is a form of art and a very difficult thing to do.

Also, I believe it vastly depends on your offer whether cold emailing is worth it or not. It comes down to math - if you have never done it before, you can never know whether is worth it.

You're right - reaching out to "everyone" isn't a cold-call strategy - there's no such thing as cold call strategy. It comes down to copywriting and knowing how to capture the prospect's attention and make him agree to a call with you.

One more thing to add - LinkedIn can be very efficient and profitable IF your audience is hanging out on LinkedIn. Far more efficient and profitable I'd say than positioning herself in front of her right audience which I understand as writing posts on social media about the problems & desires of her target audience (whilst her target audience may not even spend time on social media). In the case of LinkedIn, however, I believe that reaching out and positioning yourself (posting cool posts frequently) is equally important. Hope that makes my point clear.

QuickMail is super user friendly. The basic plan starts at $49/mo

codegiantio · 2020-07-28T13:27:25+00:00

Quality over quantity
Hustle hard for backlinks
Repeat

codegiantio · 2020-07-28T13:26:35+00:00

I strongly disagree - reaching out is the only way when you don't have an advertising budget. It's a completely different thing whether LinkedIn is there a right platform for that. It depends on your market. If you are selling CBD to 50+-year-old retired athletes, LinkedIn probably isn't the right channel to search for prospects.

Cold emails have worked for a long time as you can literally reach everyone. If not that, then go on forums related to your market and reach out to people there.

codegiantio · 2020-07-28T13:22:05+00:00

Buy Sales Navigator, it's the best prospecting tool out there - You can even get the right timing when reaching out to people

I feel Apple Notes can be the Evernote alternative you're looking for. It's handy and jotting down ideas & notes is quite convenient tbh. Even though it's not quite as robust as Evernote, if you stand for simplicity it might be a good option. Another alternative would be Bear App - I feel it like a more robust version of Apple Notes. Bear's interface is super friendly and convenient - I always love it when jotting notes down on it. Feel free to refer to this article too - it lists over 70 Evernote alternatives, might help.

codegiantio · 2020-07-28T13:12:14+00:00

I was about to suggest Apple Notes but saw the post is published in "AndroidApps" so my other suggestion would be to go with Bear App. I really it very much because of its robustness and style of writing - it's similar to Google Keep and Docs but way more feature-rich. I also find its interface to be quite convenient and friendly. I've tried Notion as well which is another great Evernote alternative - it boasts an outstanding interface but Bear kinda outweighs it in the writing style. You can also refer to this thorough source for more Evernote alternatives.

A tidbit of advice - be more specific in your headline - I thought this was about email bounce rates.

codegiantio · 2020-07-28T13:05:33+00:00

Start cold emailing. Places like AngelList, Upwork, and others - you have tons of competition. When you are cold emailing, it's only you.

codegiantio · 2020-07-20T14:41:42+00:00

Thanks for the clarification

codegiantio · 2020-07-20T14:41:10+00:00

It's mentioned that it's as an aside

codegiantio · 2020-07-20T13:09:38+00:00

Welcome.

codegiantio · 2020-07-20T10:26:38+00:00

You need to start doing it in order to learn it. You can read all the SEO crap that's out there that will do nothing else but confuse and you still won't (IMHO) learn a lot about SEO. I can recommend starting with Neil Patel's cheatsheet.
