Best "hack" for your content strategy?
👉 Do thorough research.
👉 Create something that resonates and provides genuine value.
👉 Amplify it like crazy.
👉 Repeat.
Yeah... There is no hack.
There's just doing it properly and committing to it for more than 5 minutes 💪
Giving the USA the privilege of hosting the world cup draw and this is what happens...
Hours of shit "entertainment".
Just do the draw, man. No-one cares about these little skits.
And Gianni Infantino can get in the sea. The attention-seeking, David Brent wannabe melt.
Thanks for sharing!
In content marketing? I'd love for you to take this survey 👇👇
B2B marketers—how y'all doing content promotion?
For SparkToro:
- LinkedIn is # 1
- Threads+BlueSky tied for # 2
- Twitter was 1; fell to 3
- We do a little IG+FB
- We probably should do more with YouTube

Did America's Supreme Court essentially just give the President the same sort of baloney legal immunity that medieval Kings had?
Wasn't that a big deal to Americans a couple hundred years ago?
And, if Trump wins are we going to see a real life, 80 year old Joffrey Baratheon?
Jack Stephens is good for 3 or 4 lazy, risky moments in every game.
He plays like he's got about 2-3 extra seconds of time than he actually has.

~ £6700 all in ($8500)
1 week in Spoleto, 5/6 villas (rented the whole hamlet), 21 guests, private pool, private chef on the day and one day prior, photographer.
Basically a week-long holiday with family and friends, and on one day we got married.
Good fun. No pressure.
Did mine for $10k. 100 guests. If I recall correctly:
$6k: Food (brunch buffet and pay as you go bar)
$2k: Suit and dress
$300: Flowers
$200: Church donation (in lieu of $$$ venue fee)
$100: Toys for the kids corner
My wedding was largely crowdsourced. We got all the below for free/as our gift by talented friends and family:
Photographers and photo booth; signage/art; centerpieces; hair & makeup
But the major money savers were doing brunch instead of dinner (it was maybe 60% the cost), the pay-as-you bar, and the church venue. I know enough about hosting and day drinking behavior that I was comfortable gambling here. Saved almost $1k compared to if I paid the open bar fee.
I’m not religious but church was our cheapest option by far. Didn’t even have to pay for decor.
This was in 2015. Imagine it would cost more today but maybe not a whole lot more.
Hey, other parents:
What's with the whole "He's gone to bed, but now let's talk about him, look at pics of him and watch videos of him all night" thing we do with our free time in the evenings?
Move over MCU, we've got another cinematic universe entering the room that's also got a relentless release schedule and a never ending list of characters to bring to the big screen.
It's time for the BCU (Biopic Cinematic Universe).
You got Iron Man? We've got Bob Marley.
Just open the doors and the customers will come.
Right?
Just launch the product and people will buy.
Right?
Just derp de derrp derpy derp derpp mehderp.
Merp?

How on earth anyone, ANYONE, still thinks that is an indictment on us all.
I said "see you later" to a bus driver once as I was getting off the bus.
Still think about it today.

I wake up before I go to bed.
I operate on -4 hours of sleep. Yeah, you read that right.
I read books while listening to podcasts to double my knowledge intake.
I meditate during work, so I can both rest and stimulate my brain.
Want to be like me?
Of course you do, bruh.

Consistently fascinating insights over 10 years of running this survey.
Great stuff @orbiteers and @crestodina 👏👏
In the world of "raising funds", "building businesses", and **** me, "unicorns", there's a lot of bull.
*So* much bull.
There's none of that in Rand's story.
This is one well worth reading if you're at all interested that world or the Rand/Moz story.
Thanks for sharing it 👏
NEW post: sparktoro.com/blog/the-final…
Finally wrote about the end of my story at Moz. Selling the company. The broken relationships and trust. The whole nine. Not trying to re-litigate the past, but my noncompete (and some bits of my non-disclosure) finally lifted, so it was time.
