What is Reddit's opinion of
Buffer?
From 3.5 billion Reddit comments
100 reviews of this app found across Reddit:
This’s is totally a normal thing in business development and standard to ask for Product Market Fit surveys. I wouldn’t read too much into it.
Product Market Fit is the idea that you don’t have a real business if people won’t continue to buy or support your company/product. If the answer to this is bad they might reassess their products, how they market, etc.
Here’s more about PMF
You really just need to apply, go through some verification, and be a "person of interest". Presumably anyone running for Congress would qualify, even if they subsequently come in 5th or whatever.
> That would be an excellent way to further expose her.
Expose what exactly? There's plenty of shady stuff about Hillary to "expose" - the fact that she uses apps to post to more than one Twitter account at a time just shows that she's employed a "Social Media Expert" with at least 1 days experience.
It's not even a new concept really - it's called a media embargo. In this case, a SOCIAL media embargo. You produce the content that you want to release, ahead of time, and then schedule when you want it to go live.
In fact, I've got numerous friends that use tools like this, just to post their holiday photos, so it's not 100 photos being posted at once and then radio silence for another 6 months!
Here, you can try it out yourself: https://buffer.com/
I like how buffer did it. Use a formula driven by revenue. I was previously also making around $200k but live in a part of the country where Cost of LIving is low. When the convo came up as I was closing my seed round, I offered to set my salary at $65K + $15k per mil of revenue. Keeps things simple, transparent, and aligned.

Buffer is a 100% remote company and they keep a spreadsheet of their employees' salaries:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1l3bXAv8JE5RB9siMq36-Ogngks2MT6yQ5gt8YXhUyAg/edit
They also have a calculator that you can use to calculate your salary:
Yeah. Just because the silhouette of both are similar, doesn’t really mean much in legal terms. Thats the only similarity; if you took away the colours, flattened it.
I mean in all honestly, even Shortcuts resembles the Buffer.com logo.
Don’t really see this going anywhere besides the exposure from articles writing about it.
I like Buffer for scheduling posts in advance. The free tier is just enough for me too.
But for a while I was using Edgar. And it's got some features that I haven't seen any other place use. They let you repost content. So check this out. When you publish an episode, how many times do you want to post that to social media? Of course you want it posted on day one, but then why not again the next day? And then why not post it again the next week? And then heck, why not post about it 3 months from now and 9 months from now, and then every year after that? With edgar you can make one post and it'll keep posting it on a schedule you pick like that. And so you can imagine what your social feed could look like if you had 100 episodes, and merch, and funny bits from the show, and jokes, and blog posts, and stuff, all being reposted and recycled over and over.
When I used Edgar I spent a few weeks making 3 months worth of content, then told it to just go back and reuse that content again every 3 months. However, I was having trouble with the reused content, thinking that joke isn't funny the 2nd time, or I already got my question answered the first time. So I had trouble just getting the rhythm right. But I do like it for reposting evergreen content!
Evidence: https://buffer.com/resources/facebook-algorithm
It organizes posts based on how likely someone is to interact with them.
Anecdotal experience: For work reasons I've got a bunch of people on my Facebook friends list. I had to remove one of them because he keeps posting in alt-right threads arguing with them and some days my Facebook feed would be nothing but mentions about him commenting in those 2000+ comment posts.
Even just today I've posted 3 times in a post a friend made that has about 10 posts. Now my feed is flooded with posts they've made.
As I said, all Facebook cares about is getting people to stay on Facebook and make posts. The longer people are looking at their feed the more they can charge for advertising.
Because people just read headlines and picking out pieces of aggressive language or language that is perceived as negative gets the most attention.

> Imagine taking a job offer but only if you can see the contracts and salaries of the other employees to make sure you are being paid fairly. That would never happen.
https://buffer.com/transparency
It happens more often than you think. Also, its against the law for your employer to prevent you from getting compensation information from co-workers once you're hired. Information asymmetry and all that jazz.
“Never”, really? Don’t be such a purist. Vertical video is more engaging on social media as internet usage via mobile phone increases year over year. Your personal subjective opinion doesn’t mean that the rest of the world isn’t interested.
Cults, including christian ones, aim to keep people uneducated. That means carefully controlling what they read. It's unlikely that your coworker was allowed to read freely.
While I appreciate u/Aro_Space_Ace's input on the matter, there is considered by most people to be a difference between "fringe" christians and outright cults. Ace's parents allowed them to read, and perhaps even encouraged a broader education. It would seem that they were not part of a full-blown cult, although they were perhaps fringe, given that mainstream christians typically don't homeschool.
A wider vocabulary requires a wider education. A wider education is very dangerous to cults.
Indeed, I posted this link in the sub today that helps you get a bit of a glimpse as to why cults would want to prevent extensive reading: https://buffer.com/resources/reading-fiction/
In essence, reading helps you develop empathy (counterproductive to christianity in general, and more so for cults), tolerance (same as for empathy--this is bad for christianity), and emotional intelligence (ditto here).
They would want their child to read the bable, but only the parts of it they wanted, and they would be super careful to inform them of how to "properly" interpret anything. All questioning would be firmly punished "to save [the child's] soul".
That's fairly standard though. It's the same in the tech industry - if you work in NYC, London or SF, your salary is adjusted to the higher cost of living. You can see an example on Buffer's salary calculator: https://buffer.com/salary
When choosing a site for a major office though, you also have to consider the pool of available talent. Sure it's cheaper to set up elsewhere, but will you be able to easily fill up a new office (with all its fixed costs that you incur from day 1) with potentially hundreds of new employees in a sensible timeframe? London's a pretty good place for finding good people in numbers across almost any profession.
Buffer (a SaaS company that makes social media tools) has been very open about how they tackle that salary vs location issue - https://buffer.com/salaries
It's been very interesting to read their updates over the years and their plans for the future.
tl:dr - there's no real perfect answer unfortunatley
Check out the company Buffer, exclusively remote staff, no office. They can afford to pay their employee's more because they can save on the costs of renting/running a physical office
I have an instagram, facebook, twitter, pinterest & tumbler, but twitter and facebook are the only ones that get updated with any regularity.
I recommend an app called Buffer: https://buffer.com which lets you post on multiple accounts across multiple platforms. Super-useful. I'd probably keep paying for it even if I didn't have a shop anymore. It's $10 a month.
> Querias que as empresas te dissessem quanto pagam a todos os funcionários...? Não te parece que isso ia ser demasiado disclosure para a concorrência e para os clientes...?
Na verdade já existem empresas que fazem isso, e que são exemplos de transparência no mercado.
https://buffer.com/salary/software-engineer-iii-web/average/
This article is interesting mostly because of the links to Buffer - a company that values transparency.
Transparency description: salaries are public, stock options formula, everyone can see any emails, etc.
blog post taking the blame for mistakes which caused layoffs
How an experiment with self-management progressed and what they got wrong
Yep: "Collaborate with your team - Streamline your social media management by efficiently coordinating with your team. Allow multiple people to contribute while easily managing permissions and moderating contributions." https://buffer.com/#team
> Hobbyists do not have this restriction, and there is no reason to limit yourself.
Just a nitpick here. In general, I would say that there absolutely are reasons to set some constraints for yourself. There are reasons to find and apply them, it's just that this particular thing is not one reason to limit yourself.
In this particular reason, constraining yourself to street photography (by e.g. selling the macro kit as the OP suggests and maybe step fruther - having just one single lens) could be limiting, but also it is freeing your creativity - if you don't have to think about lens selection, then you will have more brainpower to focus on other parts of exposure, composition, framing etc.
So what I wanted to say, there are reasons to limit yourself, but the fact that you started with macro is probably not a good reason to not try street photography.
As a side note, playing video games in your bed is not healthy for your sleep cycles. The only things you should do in bed are sleep and fuck. You want your body to be conditioned to think of your bed for rest, not for work.
I'm so glad to help! :)
In the case of a hobby (which is GREAT! Money complicates things, lol) - I would suggest focusing on:
- sharing your process alongside your work, and queue up micro-posts of that process so you are posting every day for week - AFTER you've completed the project. Check out https://buffer.com/ - you can connect 3 accounts for free and schedule a bunch of stuff.
- Try finding smaller communities focused on the subject matter you love (comics, fan art) and sharing your work there.
Recording your work:
- for digital, try OBS studio, a free screen recorder
- consider twitch streaming! Shonzo and Dave Greco are amazing inspiration :)
Smaller communities are more authentic and you can make a real connection with people. Like this one! :)
Like you I'm new to Reddit and constantly learn new things! I hope you'll find this link useful, as well as this one :o)
I also checked here before I memorised certain things...

I think that would depend on the company and their HR policies, so I can't comment too much on that. I know some companies have strict salary transparency policies though (e.g. Buffer: https://buffer.com/salaries) and they break down the salary calculation (including COL bands) for employees.
I’ve posted this in another similar thread before, and I think it’s a great case study. I’m not affiliated, but here’s a great read about how the social media scheduling platform Buffer validated their idea: case study
Really interesting! I was thinking something along the lines of the temperature of the light around you, and how does this affect to your brain https://buffer.com/resources/the-science-of-how-room-temperature-and-lighting-affects-our-productivity/
But indeed firing multiple colors at your face every now and then must not be good for your mental health in any ways.
They are probably lumping users into "personas".
Each sub-reddit probably is given metrics and tags, that lump the users that have joined that sub, into a persona.
Then when an advertiser is looking to promote a campaign for users that are "outdoorsy, young, active, 20 to 40 years old" reddit is able to have that advertiser deliver ads to those users.
It is probably not as nefarious as you think.
I might be a little late, but take a look at Buffer. All of their salaries are public, and they use a formula based on role, experience, and location to calculate salary. It doesn’t have equity information, but it does cover every role at Buffer!
This is worth a look, Buffer has been doing it for a while

It's interesting that the UK guys seem to be doing well out of it. The mobile engineer in Brighton is on £110k… that goes a long way. As does £100k in Winchester. They'd be competitive wages in London.

There is a company I follow called Buffer that makes social media marketing software. They've long operated on a fully transparent model where they share their exact revenue.
In January 2020, they had a peak annual revenue run rate of $22.35M
In June 2020, it's $20.45M. The company hasn't had any sustained drop in revenue ever
I think this is good, open data to follow for the kind of impact businesses are going to have to deal with.
Here's the data: https://buffer.com/revenue
If you think of yourself as a business you can view any compensation not as a whole amount but instead look at it in terms of “profit margin”.
Profit margin for individuals is another way to say “disposable income” and its the money that you save, invest, spend on luxuries, or spend on things like buying a home.
If a salary offer of $80k gives you a $20k profit, vs someone in a higher CoL who needs $100k for the same standard of living, then you’re roughly equivalent and the raw amount isn’t an immediate issue.
BUT, you still need to consider what that lower salary would restrict you from in terms of mobility. Let’s say you get an $80k offer because you live in Smalltown, USA. But your 2 year goal is to move to a bigger city on one of the coasts where a team mate doing the same job as you is getting $100k. Is there an automatic pay bump built in for when you move? If not, then the company is trying to have their cake and eat it too.
Ultimately if the company is trying to save a buck then they won’t hire in the higher CoL areas anyway, in which case they are limiting the pool of talent they can hire from. That is to their disadvantage IMO.
To give you an idea of how some companies try to do it right, take a look at Buffer‘s open salary page. https://buffer.com/resources/introducing-open-salaries-at-buffer-including-our-transparent-formula-and-all-individual-salaries/
In short, I think being flexible on location-based salaries could be to your advantage. But don’t let it punish you for making financial decisions that benefit you. Otherwise where does it end, paying people more/less based on how many kids they have? Whether they have a partner that also works? How much college debt they have? Whether they do bulk grocery shopping vs eating at restaurants every night?

You should definitely start a blog. it’s easy to start a blog here are a few things to consider:
Hosted vs Self Hosted
Hosted: You simply have to register with a blogging platform and can dive into writing posts. This is far the easiest root in the short term and for casual bloggers. However you will not get a personalised domain and most of the control is with the blogging platform.
Self Hosted: It will allow you greater control and better in the long run. Definitely the root if you want to grow your blog and become a professional blogger.
The below is a great guide that explains this in more detail and outlines the pros and cons of Hosted and Self Hosted https://www.bloggingbasics101.com/should-i-choose-a-free-or-a-self-hosted-blogging-platform/
Hosted Blogging Platforms There are a number of blogging platforms for you to consider. I will recommend a few popular options.
- Medium - simply register and start posting.
- Wordpress - It’s quite easy and quick to start a Wordpress blog. You can start one for free, here’s a useful guide: https://startbloggingonline.com/how-to-start-a-blog-on-wordpress-com/ 3 Blogger -blogging platform owned by Google
Alternatives To Blogging
There are a few alternatives that you can consider.
YouTube - you can start a daily vlog channel. Instagram - share your artwork and pictures. You can use the Instagram Stories feature to share your stories. Here’s a great guide: https://buffer.com/library/instagram-stories Facebook - consider setting up a fan page to display your art and stories.
Hope that helps. If you have any questions let me know.
There are lot of thing you can do :
first of all you can send direct message to increase your engagement but it can be consume your time, my recommendation to you is that recognize when your followers are most engaged with your post, and schedule your post at this time، there are some tools you can take advantages of that :
1- Instamber Instagram post schedule
2- buffer
3- hoot suite
This tools help you to save your time
The goal is to have your content be highly relevant. Then to time it for the biggest impact. This is not SEO btw, this is just standard online marketing.
Look for apps like Buffer (https://buffer.com/guides) to determine ideal timing and schedule out your posts in advance.
I've been following Buffer for a while and they did it from before their recent layoff.
Here is there salary calculator: https://buffer.com/salary
As you can see, an advanced backend dev gets 134K in San Francisco but only 54K in Mumbai for the exact same job.
One of the marketing agencies(our client) handle around 35 clients with 4 team members(or social media managers), although they also work on audience building. 1 manager for 30 clients might be little too much.
Knowing how to make client specific/social network specific posts is a demanding skill. But I think the reason for this is that the work involved, according to what you mentioned, can be lessened by creating bits-and-pieces of graphics that you frequently use for a specific client or using a social media automation tool for posting to multiple platforms.
Try automating your work as from what I understand, you can just plan all your posts in the beginning of the week and save a lot of time. You should start using some dashboard or a centrally controlled management system for your publishing needs.
You should be able to save around 1-2 hours a day easily. Try dashboards provided by Statusbrew or Buffer. These services should help you manage your posts.
Oh man, there are a TON of social media marketing tips, guides, and gurus on this sub. Frankly, I would recommend searching the term "social media" in the search bar and just wandering down that rabbit hole for a couple of hours to decide what kind of platforms and content might work best for you. If I had to point you at a single post, I suppose it would be this one. Now, keep in mind that my business is B2B and yours isn't, so there's some stuff in there that might not apply to you. A lot of it is sound, though. Personally, I'm a lazy bastard with a full-time job, so all I've got up and running in terms of no-cost marketing are Reddit, Twitter and LinkedIn. I use Buffer to help me curate and create interesting content, but I do it all by hand - no robo content. The bottom line is going to be how much time you're willing and able to dedicate to pushing your good idea. Organic traffic generation takes time, patience, and attention, but it's awfully satisfying watching your website traffic tick upward. You'll get a feel for what people want to see, but to start, I recommend a 50-30-20 approach: 50% relevant curated content, 30% ads for your services, 20% fun irrelevant fluff. That's working pretty well for us :)
My turn to apologize for wall-o-text. I hope this helps!
Work has been insane this past week. We're moving buildings due to mold and bat feces, (can't make this shit up - literally), so things are chaotic. Meanwhile, I'm sure everyone's tired of hearing me say "still working on the sequel to Catalyst Moon: Incursion," so I won't say it again. Er...
Editing to add that my first "official" website is live! Check it out and tell your friends: http://llgarcia.com/
Had a dream that folks were reviewing the aforementioned work, which made me extremely nervous. Woke up, ran to the bathroom, and ejected the contents of my dinner in a most unpleasant manner. This does not bode well...
Oh! In less gross news, there's this nifty app/website thing called Buffer that lets you post on all your social media at once. It schedules posts and tracks them too. Really neat stuff for us ~~lazy~~ busy folks. :)
Lastly, THANK YOU again to anyone who voted for me in the monthly challenge! :)
Took like a few seconds to work out using riffle.
If you really want all your images to fit on Twitter I suggest using something like https://buffer.com/pablo it won't resize the image you upload but it will crop it so it fits. Plus you can chuck some text on top if you want
There are many techniques for Instagram marketing, but these are the most efficient. Maybe you already used some of these:
Giveaways for people that share your content (as long as you do it according to Instagram’s guidelines)
Reposting content and tagging the content creator with the hope that they will share the content with their audience
Joining power groups of like for like in order to push likes as soon as you release the post so it would go more viral.
Conducting research to find out what content went viral for other accounts that target the same audience as yours and then generating content that resonant with it or just reposting it
The last example of conducting content research, I’m not mentioning without the reason. Content research is what we’ve built Viralspy around. The idea of ethically “hacking” the algorithm of Instagram in order to generate growth (I’ve explained it further in this post).
Decide what audience do you want to attract, then find what makes it tick. Use that knowledge to your advantage.
The Buffer Blog is also a viable option for insights about social media content.
Some do....well, 1 or 2: https://buffer.com/salaries
> Imagine how much would change in society if you could look up exactly how much everyone else was earning.
You'd also need to include commissions with some history, bonuses, option grants, etc, etc to avoid hiding stuf on the top end.
Hey! I'm late af, but another suggestion is to use the Tailwind app or something like buffer(.com), and then you can add them as a team member.
This will allow them to sign up with their own email and password and then you can control which executive functions they have over each social network that they are connected to.
Hope that helps!
https://buffer.com/library/how-to-use-buffer-for-your-social-media-team/
I saw a good break down once, similar to this one. To me, Senior would start at advanced, and would ideally include the ability to
• Mentor other engineers
• Direct and review the work of other engineers
• Manage and oversee designs and projects
• Brings innovative idea and solutions to the table
• Takes the big picture into account. (Cost, lead time, use case, etc.)
Of course there are many Sr Engineers who couldn’t mentor someone out of a wet paper bag, and will stick to their firmly self drawn lines of job R&R.
Agreed. My SO works at a tech company that makes a few productivity apps. Their support team is all in house and pays well with good benefits, that’s why I suggested looking at tech companies. Buffer is another app that comes to mind that has “customer advocate” folks based on the US and pays well. https://buffer.com/journey. Might be hard to find but it’s out there especially if you’re bilingual.
I wonder what Girard would have made of the idea that People Don’t Buy Products, They Buy Better Versions of Themselves. This is fairly mainstream thinking in advertising, if you look at a lot of adverts, they are pictures of people who are now happy/relaxed because they have bought whatever product is advertised. It seems there is a link with mimetic desire /u/mcarans ?
all of your 3 word phrases can be refined into 1 word commands
e.g. pick that up = lift/carry hand me that = give
if you want creativity 1 word is better, because you have to find a word that encapsulated the phrase you would otherwise say. its a well known fact that restrictions increase creative thinking https://buffer.com/resources/7-examples-of-how-creative-constraints-can-lead-to-amazing-work/
Buffer is one of the few that does do that...to the world, actually: https://buffer.com/salaries (and their formula for calculating them, ownership stakes, etc)
You can also model what you'll be paid: https://buffer.com/salary-calculator/engineering-manager/high

> I would love to get feedback on other ideas for a business that puts employees first.
If you specialize in Cyber Security you'll have a better chance (higher rates).
You didn't specify if you were doing consulting services/outsourced services or if you were to develop a platform/XaaS, the latter would give you more scalability.
I would add to make it an employee-owned company, take a look at this: https://www.nceo.org/ .
I'd say just start, even by yourself; blog about it, blog about your vision and goals.
Be careful about the people that you'll hire; as you grow get everyone on board with the hiring process.

If you're still looking for an alternative, Buffer will be launching a new tool called Start Page this September.
Start Page is an online home for your brand where you can showcase the things that matter to your audience the most. It’s a simple, beautiful, flexible page that you can put together in minutes, update in seconds, and share across your social profiles.
Plus, it's completely free, which makes it a great choice for musicians that might not have the budget to create their own website.
If you'd like to get early access to Start Page before we launch it publicly, you can register here. Anyone that registers will have early access to the tool and will be the first to know when it will be shared publicly.
Hope you love it!

>Why is google not the bad guy in your head and instead it’s people who dare to move?
I like buffer's salary transparency. Basically, it's position base salary * COL. So if you live in a LCOL area, your COL multiplier will be lower than a HCOL area but your base salary does not change.
>Define “testing”?
>
>And 4 day workweeks with 10 hour days is the same, if not less efficient.
Not 4 x 10 hr days. 32 hour weeks while still keeping 40 hr pay.
Well for one, Buffer already did a 6 month trial of 32 hour work weeks without any weekly pay reduction. They noticed happier employees with no loss of productivity and they are scheduling another larger test for next year.
​
Wildbit started testing smaller work weeks in 2017, and they've been ramping up the test ever since. They started with 40 hour weeks, then switched to 32 hour weeks. 4 years later, they still are on 32hr weeks. It sure seems they made it work for them.
They talk about how it took some planning (obviously), but they also noticed no fall in productivity, and an increase in quality of work done.
I understand what you’re trying to say but in most cases, breaks are definitely important.. even if you’re in the “flow” state and completely consumed by the task at hand.
However, it’s not realistic to work in the flow state for the entire day but if you take short breaks, you’ll be able to work for longer and you’ll be more productive.
Here’s an ok article I quickly googled but there are a variety of proven methods to taking breaks and a key is finding what works best for you:
https://buffer.com/resources/science-taking-breaks-at-work/
Personally, I like to either get a snack, stretch, go for a quick walk, short meditation practicing mindfulness, even a bathroom/water break. A key to these breaks is to step back from what you’re working on and clear your thoughts for a few minutes.. most people find when they take these breaks they might view the task at hand with a different perspective, get a new creative idea, and can work longer..
Going back to your jogging and sprinting analogy.. jogging is like working at 50% of your potential for a long period of time ( definitely not going to produce the best results)
Sprinting could be the equivalent to working at 90% of your potential but when you’re not sprinting, you’re recovering in preparation for the next sprint.. it’s not sprinting and stopping but more so sprinting and walking
Idk that doesn’t really sell it but there are so many studies on work and sports psychology that show a million benefits to breaks even if you feel guilty taking them or struggle to fit them into your schedule.. like me :)
I fully support Buffer simply because of their Transparency Policy.
They pay and treat their employees right, and they earn my business because of it. The product is easy to use, works, great UI, and you can always view their feature Roadmap.
I can't tell you how many companies I've transitioned from Hootshit to Buffer with no complaints.
as promised: a reference provided by a pOtaToE:
​
I appreciate where you are coming from.
Personally I would argue that making your design readable is not a waste of space, even if you could in theory fit more content on the screen if you arranged it differently. Even though there is variance in how much a user might prefer the fixed length, it's readable to all this way.
The reason I am concerned about this is actually not just a personal preference, typographers have already struggled with readability and line spacing for a long time before reddit. There have been done a lot of studies and takes on this over time. Unfortunately, I learnt from this through a book called Thinking with Type and a few others I cant remember the name of from my college curriculum so I don't have a link, but this article and this article at least touches the subjects if you are unfamiliar, even though they are a bit rough.
There is a lot of text on computers/the internet, but unreadable text is mostly pointless so I highly recommend it to all IT folks.
I can tell you that as an old time reddit user, being able to actually read those long titles has increased my engagement in the platform, and I started engaging in long form content I didn't before, not because the content itself was too "intellectual" for me, as a lot of people will presume in such cases, but because the actual typography made me tired of reading.
Personally I use reddit a lot, so I am happy to pay the small fee for ad free. Ads are never user friendly, but I do believe it's fair of reddit to monetize their service. Obviously it's fine to disagree with the way they do that.
“four day work week more productive”
That's one hell of a selection bias.
It's like googling "crazy ex" and and concluding from the many many results you get that that's crazy is the norm.
throwing in a few exclusions to remove the hundreds of breathless articles about the same few NZ companies... I see a lot of announcements of companies giving it a shot... and most of them with no followup and they mostly seem to be still operating 5 days a week like microsoft.

Hm are you being serious right now?... Reading fiction is a waste of time but you go on reddit? There is value to recreation.
Besides the entertainment, reading fiction is greatly enriching for the mind and has plenty of benefits. Here's one article on the subject, and another one. To be sure there is plenty of bad fiction, just like non-fiction, but good fiction is like a finely woven tapestry. There is a lot to analyze, it's like exercise for the mind. If you only want the best you can try literature Nobel prize winners. It doesn't even have to be recent, something like Chaucer has incredible depth to it (though I guess I wouldn't recommend it straightaway if you don't normally read fiction). I'm sorry you haven't experienced this.
I also struggle with a wandering mind and actually work in computers, but reading is how I improve my concentration.
I mean, you do you, if you don't want to read fiction that's fine, but it most definitely is not a waste of time.
There's research to back this up. I remember reading a while ago that readers of fiction have better vocabulary than readers of non-fiction. This is because fiction will contain more descriptive and poetic language as it tries to immerse the reader into another world. There is also a suggestion that fiction is better for building empathy and emotional intelligence because it focuses on characters and relationships and not just on facts or events. Here and here are a couple more links on benefits of fiction.
However this is just a generalisation and of course non-fiction can have similar benefits. Biographies for instance will often explore character deeply.
Anyway next time this debate comes up you can bring evidence to the table.
Feel like this is just a different way of saying the "Super Mario Marketing" framework. Mean this in a totally complimentary way! Good job!
This link is the only one i could find with a good picture, but I originally learned it from Shaan Puri
I’m starting to think that doing a landing page experiment that tests willingness to pay and then using those potential paying customers to figure out how to build the product is the best way to go.
See how Buffer did it: https://buffer.com/resources/idea-to-paying-customers-in-7-weeks-how-we-did-it/.

I tackled methods like this with a psychologist. I honestly think it can help you out.
In my experience, profile rarely matters. Research seems to bear that out
>Essentially, the text is less than 10% of what people think of you.
But with a SL, you're giving them a chance to go back and look at the profile vs the initial reaction from the picture.
Personally my profile probably doesn't do me many any favors. But it's honest. The problem is that doesn't matter either. How many people's profiles talk about traveling, getting out of the house or going to see a good movie? The profile and picture game of online dating is completely skewed.
But I understand you don't interpret things that way. Maybe you should reconsider. Talk to some of them and see what the person is like.

I just googled “how to be verified on Twitter” and got this. Step-by-step guide, plus a link to the verification form on the Twitter website.
The closest option might be to just use a service like a free Buffer.com account to auto-post a link to your MeWe profile every now and then along with reasons why MeWe is better.
Majority of companies who are shifting full remote are now factoring in location into their salary formulas. example: Say you work at Yelp, live in SF, Yelp has now offered full remote and you move to Montana. Yelp adjusts your salary with a COL adjustment rate.
Source: know someone who works for Yelp and moved to Montana.
EDIT: Another REALLY transparent example of how this works can be found here
There's research that suggests that using your bed as anything other than a place to sleep (and, er, the other obvious thing people do in bed) can lead you to lose the association between getting in bed and going to sleep. Over the long term, this can affect the amount and quality of your sleep.
It was amazing to see in real time then terrible to be a part of the shill brigades. Nothing negative could be posted about her without it instantly being brigaded and down voted on any part of reddit. The only other buzzword getting that much shill attention at the time was Seth Rich.

Things are massively changing in business with terms like master and slave usage in software and hardware development. I think a bunch of devs are removing it, such as Github. There are a bunch of dated terms that are being replaced. Python has already removed it. Here is a pretty good list a lot of companies have been removing and implementing a lot of the verbage in.
NTA- for me this is nighttime bath time in the dark. Sensory deprivation and all the dogs and husband are in their beds. No matter how many times I explain it, it’s a difficult idea for people to understand. I liken it to people bring batteries. Some like husband and kids recharge by being around everyone and energy and excitement. Others need to switch off and be alone for a while, but people who are not like this think it’s weird. If I were you I would change tactics. I’d say, fine husband, let’s have coffee together in the morning, make breakfast, send everyone on their way, and then carve a different niche out for myself, ‘hey I have to go to the store’ and instead hang out at the park. In an ideal world your husband will not be an asshole like he’s being right now, but some people just don’t get it. You could also try sending him posts with visual explanations and getting a shrink to talk to him about your needs and how they aren’t selfish at all, if you think it will work. Give him some reading material.
Practically every SaaS startup these days makes dedicated "vs" pages comparing themselves to competitors. Plenty will also happily mention competitors in "top tools" roundups
Are you telling me that these guys are idiots?
Man, I hated politics so much but I understand how important it is. But working hard is not really human and I know its to change the way people think.
But realistically speaking something like 90% of remote workers work from home (it was 84% prior to the pandemic).
This is something that I have overcome in my life, so let me share a bit of what worked for me.
I was a chronically shy person. At school I hardly ever talked to anyone. But, I became a tour guide, where my job is to literally talk to people, often for hours. I'm now 20 years+ into this line of work, so I've overcome my issues with talking a long time ago, but it took a lot of effort. Here is what worked for me:
- Most people love to talk about themselves, so if you're in a conversation, the easiest way to not need to do most of the talking is to ask lots of questions. This first point can get you a long way. People will actually like you more, even think you're more interesting just because you're making them feel smart or interesting.
- Develop good listening skills. Look at this post (on the buffer blog) for some helpful advice.
- Read and learn. If you gain knowledge, you'll start to be more interesting, and that will give you confidence. This helped me immensely.
- Realize that most people have their own insecurities. If you think everyone else is way above you in some way, you'll always have a hard time. But, deep down, they're a lot like you. It might come out in different ways, but they're all just people, just like you. You can try a trick from publish speaking. Imagine them standing there in their underwear. They're just another person.
> what is your obsession with the verification system?
I WAS RESPONDING TO SOMEONE ASKING ABOUT POSTS ON TWITTER, you are the one that seems to not get neither what their question is nor what the issue is about. They asked what the difference is between someone posting on twitter is and what can be done and I pointed out on twitter (and most social media sites ) they require you to have a copy of a drivers license or passport on file to be verified.this was second result on DuckDuckGO I then ALSO mentioned that outside of social media, porn studios also have records of their actresses.
It's not that hard of a concept to grasp. Pornhub wants to have it's cake and eat it too, they want to verify accounts to encourage participation but also do not want the liability of ACTUALLY verifying their "verified accounts" you seem to not understand what the conversation is about if you keep getting hung up on "why should pornhub be responsible" when I've been talking about HOW pornhub can take preemptive measures similar to almost every major website. You are the only one crying about pornhub being responsible for the content uploaded by it's users
>Looking at you, /u/KettlebellKings. That's literally their whole strategy and it works extremely well. Hilariously they have an air of premium when in all reality it's margin to support affiliates and other marketing efforts to drive conversions.
One of the guys I went to SFG 1 and 2 with moved to Kettlebell Kings. I think he eventually got bored with the StrongFirst "inch-wide, mile-deep" approach. Now whenever you see promotions on IG chances are it's someone from their gym. All their exercises have a different spin to it, however minor (e.g. a rotational press, or a staggered-stance swing), and they have quite a following. He's never tried to hide that as a trainer he is also a performer, and he needs to put on a show to keep his students interested. Nothing wrong with that in my opinion, I just don't have the talent or the inclination to do it, so I'm stuck with like the 6 people who follow my dank memes.
> Looking at you, /u/KettlebellKings. That's literally their whole strategy and it works extremely well. Hilariously they have an air of premium when in all reality it's margin to support affiliates and other marketing efforts to drive conversions. They have an entire sponsorship with Mind Pump Media (they follow and advocate for people like Ben Shapiro) It's literally a drop ship business. At least Great Lakes Girya doesn't hide this.
The same strategy is employed by Kettlebell Gains Apparel, Great Lakes Girya and others. I'm not going to knock the strategy as a business owner: if it works, it works. I would do the same content reposting in their shoes.
What annoys me about the content is that these tricks and flows are done with really light weights (<= 35 lbs) and frankly are misleading. This doesn't show mastery in any shape or form. Like my guy, you're not crazy for throwing around a 12 lb comp bell. I believe /u/swingthiskbonline had a video about this a few days ago.
Props to RhinoStrength for doing insanely wacky shit with actually heavy weight that's sincerely impressive.
All in all: Do not look to social media for workout advice, as it's an advertising platform and not meant for sharing knowledge.

Sure it's possible but the question is what's more likely.
By assuming that the person is in the US the tweet could have happened anytime between 1-7am. By assuming the person is in Europe (for example), the tweet would have been posted between 7am-1pm. According to this study the latter is far more likely.
Nta, a lot of reasons have already be given.
Just two things i wanna add: as the girls get older, they will need privacy. They should be allowed and prive to discover their genral boundaries and their body sexuality. At 13, that is already beginning. She is starting to hit puberty and will need privacy to do so. No need for a nosy sister that violates personal space and privacy.
Also, working in the bedroom is INSANELY unhealthy and disapproved of by a lot of psychologists. Never take work to the bedroom. Not in the bed, not besides the bed. Its the same as taking your lunch while still continuing to work, your brain can hardly "fully relax" and get out of the working - mode.

It's really not and I'm not sure anyone can be that petulant to believe that in earnest. Sophomoric thinking is the language of false equivalency and isnt far from "I'm not touching you!" in an argument.
Lets humor you for a second and say that you moved to a new country and it turned out to be just as bad as the previous location. So move again? ok, how many times do you think it would be feasible to move around until you found your Goldilocks place? I guess it depends on the timescale. a year? two years? five?
I timed how long it took me to search (very lazily) new social media platforms and within 1.024 minutes to find 21 options.

>in which case you're a hypocrite because you're also here,
Never said I didn’t watch or wasn’t susceptible myself to propaganda. You’re also admitting that since I’m here and so are you, and if that makes me a victim of propaganda, so are you.
>making some massive assumptions about me / you and are clearly indoctrinated
I think you’re the hypocritical one :-)
>by either alt-right or bullshit libertarian nonsense that basically can be summarized as "haha empathy is stupid and everyone but me sucks".
The piece de resistance, always left to the end when nothing else can be said, follows The Emotional Child Guide to political discussion.
Please share how they are a monopoly. They are one of countless social media sites. here's a list of over 20 that have millions of users. Again, no one forces you to sign up for twitter, and by joining you agree to their terms.
Third-party tools can help:
- Up to 10 posts can be scheduled using Buffer Publish free account.
- Hopper is a paid product dedicated to instagram posting.
Otherwise, quite a few open source projects reverse-engineered instagram's private API, and can be used as a base to program your own automated posting routine...
Sure. There's a well-known 1989 study referred to as the Xerox study, by Harvard social psychologist Ellen Langer.
This links to a SaaS marketing company, but their analysis is solid before they spin into a sales pitch. Couldn't find the original study.

"Because" is also one of the most powerful words in marketing. Ad sets using "because" repeatedly win split tests.

There is a 2013 study showing that 38% of readers tend to only see the headline of whatever article they click on, and 10% or less make it to the comments. Here is also a shorter article that focuses on the blog posts, but it is pretty similar in its conclusions.
So, same phenomenon happens on reddit. Most of those upvoters probably just saw "NPCs lol so true" in the feed and did not even bother to read the fine print.
