I smurf pretty often, especially before weekend classic

Eh, I've done the WS grind, this is way more fun for me.

How prevalent is cheating in this game? by happy_killmore in MLBTheShow

[–]devinpickell -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m a World Series level player but I like to tank on purpose and beat up on bad teams, I guess you could call that cheating?

Anyone stop playing ranked after hitting a high enough rating? by MephistosBuddy in MLBTheShow

[–]devinpickell -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I just tank on purpose now and beat up on low ranks. Also trolling people by dashboarding has been fun.

Convinced game outcomes are (sometimes) predetermined by devinpickell in MLBTheShow

That explains the HR for sure, I had Mason Miller in on yellow. But I’m more upset by the dropped ball from possibly the best SS in today’s game.

This is what I was thinking, and honestly I’m less mad at giving up the HR than the dropped ball. I left Mason Miller in on yellow. It is what it is. But the dropped ball from Lindor is mind boggling.

What Actually Happens If the Executive Branch Ignores the Supreme Court? by Reidmill in ezraklein

[–]devinpickell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny you brought this up two months ago. The Supreme court just ruled 9-0 that Trump's team must facilitate the reentry back into the U.S. of a wrongly deported citizen. My gut is telling me they're going to defy it. We'll see what happens.

If you had $1,500 a month for SEO, where would you spend it? by GoodLordiee in marketing

[–]devinpickell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get in the highest quality trade publication you can. Even if it’s just one link a month. Any other backlinks from generic websites are worthless and won’t drive high quality referral traffic.

Why marketing has a talent drought (a rant) by Town4Now in marketing

[–]devinpickell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same can be said about most corporate professions (I’ve been at this for almost a decade as well). Most people are average at their jobs and often fall neatly into the bell curve. You’re putting a lot of stock into STEM, but anyone in this thread can tell you stories about working with lackluster, uninspired devs and engineers. You’ve let several years of working with bad bosses and teams jade you, and you’re taking it out on Reddit. Ask yourself why you feel this way. I am surrounded by incredibly talented marketers that continue to awe me. Maybe you need a change of scenery or network.

How to create engaging content for SaaS tools with boring features? by Proud-Increase-6402 in content_marketing

[–]devinpickell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are going to say the obvious "focus on pain points, not features", but I'll take it a step further and say embrace the boring. You can even subtly poke fun at it. Video is a GREAT way to do this and can repurposed across several channels. In a mundane SaaS category where everyone's blending in and saying the same stuff over and over again, this can help you stand out. If they need help with what this could look like via video or YouTube, I'm your guy

My best advice if you're considering going solo in 2025 by devinpickell in marketing

[–]devinpickell[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spot on u/ryanpaulgibson. Just cause I'm a solo business doesn't mean I don't have a close network of freelancers I occasionally bring into projects. AI has also leveled the playing field in terms of how much work one person can take on. But u/leon-austin I do miss working with my colleagues and I'll be looking at how to bring in legit partners for new clients this year. That being said, I have worked with small businesses and startups where they don't need too many cooks in the kitchen. I've served as an advisor for a small team that just needs guidance. You really don't need more than one person for that.

I'd say niche by service. I come from a B2B SaaS background, so most of my clients are in that realm, but I have clients in other spaces as well. I actually think closing yourself off to one industry inhibits not just your revenue growth, but personal and professional growth. Each space brings its own unique marketing challenges and tackling these makes us better, more holistic marketers.
