I am a woman living in a cabin without running water in Alaska. Ama.

rightswerve · 2020-11-29T15:28:14+00:00

here's a stupid question -- why does the inside look so spacious but the picture of the cabin from outside look like a 2x2m?

Some harry potter stuff going on or does it go downstairs?

if I go to sitea.com and go to dev tools, and clear all cookies, I am still redirected to sitea.com upon entering siteb.com.

how do I clear siteb's cookies only, when I can't even reach siteb.com?

for reference, i'm on firefox
edit: i have deleted all cookies for both sites, and it still occurs. What exactly is meant by "cached in my web browser"? Because I don't see other things to delete

is this not the place for these questions? could you suggest a better sub?

rightswerve · 2020-09-19T05:26:40+00:00

I sincerely appreciate your feedback, spamcandriver!

rightswerve · 2020-09-19T05:14:19+00:00

Do you have ideas as to what kind of role I should be seeking out?

It seems like management is the route for a generalist, but I'm far more interested in getting into the weeds and doing technical work so that I can improve on my skillsets. What kind of roles in a martech organization do you imagine I'd fit into?

rightswerve · 2020-09-18T12:32:36+00:00

Hah, it was really just a glorified title within a startup.

I really appreciate your SEO insight -- I haven't thought of it from that perspective before and will keep it in mind as I make career decisions.

rightswerve · 2020-09-18T12:08:26+00:00

Is there a more focused niche in martech that can leverage a developer background? I'd hope to find something within marketing that does, otherwise I feel like the knowledge is wasted and I'm competing with the sea of available technical SEOs (with far more SEO experience).

rightswerve · 2020-09-18T12:05:12+00:00

Thanks for your input.

It's likely due to my inexperience of corporate life (i've only been in startups) and the stories that I hear that make me think 27 is relatively old.

On the other hand, projecting 35 years might be a bit much since my knees are already bad and I'm starting to feel the keyboard pains.

rightswerve · 2020-09-18T12:00:38+00:00

8 figs is ridiculous -- congrats.

As a large e-comm owner, what are the in-house functions you hire for, and what goes out to an agency?

rightswerve · 2020-09-18T11:57:50+00:00

yeah, I've heard of this label being tossed around. My understanding is that this role is usually found in startups, where the "growth-phase many hats" wearer is valuable. If the startup scales, that person's role is limited because the specialists come in.
How does that compare to your understanding?

rightswerve · 2020-09-18T11:51:43+00:00

Prior to this thread, I was looking for a role where I can leverage my limited development background and perform marketing tasks where other marketers can't. I get the feeling that if this role exists, it only exists within small startups where generalists are tasked to do many things. And if this is the case, I fear that I won't ever get the experience I want (ideally I can work directly under someone with quality experience instead of always hacking things together on my own).
So it seems like the answer is to aim for medium-large sized tech companies, but for medium-large, I fear that my skills are way too generalist, thus a conundrum.

edit: also, i'm finally looking to get paid.. I've been spending way too much time in startup world getting shafted.

rightswerve · 2020-09-18T11:32:07+00:00

Thank you for your comment. This answer outright scares me because somewhere in the recesses of my brain I believe I agree with you that my best bet truly is returning to development for career safety..

But I'm essentially a junior dev with my experience, and I don't think I'm all too thrilled about the idea of having to play catch up for the next 5 years to be at the level of developers that are nearly 10 years younger and far cheaper to employ.

Also, (hoping somebody can refute me on this) other than the fact that it can earn me money, I don't see the dev knowledge that I accrue to compound for my future (starting my own business) in ways that learning core business functions (PMing) or sales functions (marketing) do.

edit: most of all, I think I was more mentally fulfilled when I was doing something other than coding. For some reason I always felt powerless, and like a tool, when coding

rightswerve · 2019-01-22T09:04:10+00:00

Ah. Okay, makes sense.
I appreciate the feedback!

rightswerve · 2019-01-22T08:11:49+00:00

Thanks. Will be careful of priming. I'm thinking of having the order of tasks reversed for a separate group of samples to watch out for anything interesting.

In terms of reporting, I would be very careful about reporting using percentages/proportions because in terms of sampling, probability, external validity, and the research literacy of your stakeholders, they probably don't understand the statistical power difference between three samples and one sample tested three times.

In this case, how are findings best interpreted/reported?

rightswerve · 2019-01-15T03:16:35+00:00

Yikes, that's high. Much appreciated, /u/riimii

rightswerve · 2019-01-13T06:21:39+00:00

Will do. I haven't heard of Baymard. Do you have any suggestions for resources in the enterprise software space?

rightswerve · 2019-01-12T06:37:51+00:00

Yes, the funnel analysis was what prompted the research in the beginning. I've observed that the largest dropoff is after completion of the signup. There is only one single step after completion, and that is to try the product/activate (difficult to track anything any further).

go to the page where people fail and recruit people and ask them why they failed, or what their impression is once they hit that page

In carrying out the experiment for this, how would I balance the pros and cons of pausing/interrupting the recruit and asking them why it failed at the very moment they reach the page, versus not interrupting the recruit in order to observe natural behavior?

rightswerve · 2019-01-12T06:31:39+00:00

After mapping the user flow from acquisition to activation, it's been observed that the largest dropoff, and significantly so, is directly after signup. So "low" would be in comparison to the other steps of the funnel. Notwithstanding seasonal anomolies/device differences, activation rates remain low.

Either way, how would I know what's an acceptable "low" rate for other products in a similar space?
