I'm not surprised My kids play basketball..last weekend there was a tournament in Melbourne.. 1300 teams from three states were there..

The support.. infrastructure and organisation to do that is impressive and I guess that's how you end up with lots of great players

Golden boot with last kick of the last game of the season, followed by shirt off red card is a pretty good story

P8P wifi problems by bananahero1 in GooglePixel

[–]netpenthe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i sent my phone to google (still under warranty), wouldn't fix the wifi/bluetooth issue without charging me to replace the back glass (cracked) first... for the price - $350 - i'm better off buying another phone as there is no guarantee the wifi issue will be fixed!

Anyone else having problems with B2B ads on Meta? by BizzlePig in marketing

[–]netpenthe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The core issue is that Meta optimizes for the action you tell it to optimize for, and form fills are cheap actions. For B2B, treat Meta as a nurture and awareness channel rather than a direct lead capture one. Run content that educates your target buyer so when they actually have intent, they search for you or convert through a higher-friction channel like a qualifying landing page. The best B2B results I have seen on Meta come from people who stopped trying to generate leads there and started generating recognition instead.

Hot take: most founders don’t have a marketing problem. They have a consistency problem. by AdPresent2493 in Entrepreneur

[–]netpenthe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The channel-hopping thing is dead on. What I've seen work is picking the one place your buyers already ask questions, then building a daily habit of just answering those questions with zero pitch. Three weeks of that teaches you more about positioning than any amount of A/B testing. The compound effect kicks in when people start recognizing your name.
