It's a new year and most of us are happy to be leaving 2020 in the rearview mirror. It was a tough year at almost every level and marketing is no exception. 2021 promises to be challenging as well, but we hope that also means an eventual return to something that feels like the old normal as vaccines are distributed and society recovers and reopens. There's no shortage of marketing tools that can help you navigate whatever lies ahead. Here are 10 that we're grateful to have. #1: Clickflow If you've ever spent time and money designing a landing page, an opt-in form, or anything else devised to drive conversions – only to be disappointed by the results – then Clickflow is the marketing tool for you this year. It's a robust, SEO-driven A/B testing apparatus that you can use to test every aspect of onsite SEO. While Clickflow isn't cheap – you'll pay $109 per month – you can get a free trial to check it out. Using it for a couple of months can help you improve your meta data, tags, and content to improve your rank on Google and get more conversions than ever before. It's a worthwhile investment. #2: Google Analytics Google Analytics isn't new but don't roll your eyes because we've included it here. A lot of small business owners don't bother checking their Google Analytics and that's a mistake that costs them customers and revenue. For a free tool, Google Analytics provides a ton of relevant (and actionable) information about your website visitors and their behavior. You can use it to determine which resources are sending you the most traffic and which content is driving conversions. You already have access to it – so start using it! #3: Screaming Frog What if you could chase Google's spiders with a frog and spy on your competitors' SEO? You can with the free version of Screaming Frog, an SEO crawler that can give you a leg up on your competitors. Using Screaming Frog, you can scan up to 500 URLs and collect technical optimization data. It allows you to check tags, identify broken links, and find duplicate content. It's a great way to audit your own site and spot holes in your competition's SEO. #4: Grammarly If you do your own content writing and grammar isn't your strong suit, Grammarly is an indispensable tool. They have free and paid versions, and the free version should be robust enough for most small businesses. Grammarly will spot spelling errors, including pesky contextual errors that most spellcheckers miss. It'll also correct your grammar, make suggestions to tighten up your content, and you can even use it to flag duplicate content online – especially useful if you outsource your writing! #5: BuzzSumo A lot of small business owners struggle to come up with great ideas for content. BuzzSumo is a tool that can help you find content ideas with its keyword search function. You can also use it to identify potential influencers to promote your products and brand. You can try BuzzSumo free for 30 days. After that, pricing begins at $99 per month. Because their search bar is located on the home page, you can get a few freebies a day even if you don't sign up for an account. #6: Feedly Businesses that are active on social media must share a combination of original and curated content. But where can you find quality content to share with your followers? That's where Feedly comes in. Feedly is a news aggregator that will collect all relevant news in your specified niche or industry. Then, you can comb through, read what interests you, and find the best content to share with your followers on Facebook or Twitter. They offer a free trial and monthly pricing starts at just $6. #7: MailChimp Email marketing is still one of the most affordable and effective ways to connect with your audience. We like MailChimp for its robust free option that allows small business owners to send up to 12,000 emails per month. While there are some email marketing providers that are better suited to huge enterprises, MailChimp offers enough features to ...

There's a book inside every person and every educator. This is part 2 of our PBL Leadership Series on how to write your book. First we kick off with our opening “need to know” of how to define my vision. If you can break down your entire vision into a 5-minute speech, you can clarify and narrow your focus.In episode 75, we went over the first three steps of writing a book. Now I'm moving on to the last three steps. We kick off with sharing your first draft with a friend and getting feedback. Then I talk about getting an editor. I wrap things up with thinking about a publisher and why I recommend a professional publishing house.Episode Highlights: [03:09] How do I define my vision?[04:16] Before you do your vision script, give me your 5-minute speech on your vision. [06:03] In episode 75, we went over the first three steps in writing a book which include identifying your why and creating a mind map, outline, and rough draft.[08:36] Step four is to reach out to friends and ask for feedback. Give structure.[13:37] Step five is to find an editor. Get a professional or hire a teacher or maybe even Grammarly. [16:58] The sixth step is to find a publisher. I would recommend a professional publishing house. Think about this early on.Resources & Links Related to this EpisodeWhat is PBL?Ask RyanMagnify Learning YouTubeProject Based Learning Stories and Structures: Wins, Fails, and Where to StartMagnify LearningRyan Steuer Twitter @ryansteuerKen Davis

After college, Carol Saller says she didn't know what to do and it was serendipity that she was in the careers office when The University of Chicago Press called looking for a graduate.Carol got the job and didn't look back.We discuss whether writers need to hire an editor these days. With software like ProWriting Aid and Grammarly, many writers believe they can bypass the human touch, and we discuss the pros and cons to that approach.I asked Carol whether it's better to self publish or seek a traditionally published deal, and she talked me through the kinds of books that work well for the indie space and those that work well for the traditional arena.Carol shares her own journey in publishing, exemplifying just how the industry has changed in the last 10 years or so. Carol sold her first books very easily, but now that the market has changed she's aware her story might not have the same appeal it once did. Having a track record of sales and reviews doesn't guarantee a book will get picked up twice.Next, Carole takes me through some common mistakes writers make when formatting their manuscripts, for example not adding page numbers, or trying to make a manuscript look like a typeset novel.A typeset book is not a manuscript, she says, so don't try to make it look like one. It signifies to the agent you've not been through the system and might have a lot to learn!Towards the end of our conversation, Carol tells me about her middle grade book, Eddies War, which is based on her father's childhood diaries during World War II.We finish our conversation with Carol telling me what she's working on now, the querying process and where you can find out more about Carol and her books.This episode is ideal for you if you want the inside scoop on how to find the right agent or publisher.Connect with Carol:How to Start a NovelHow to Format a Novel for SubmissionBook Editing Blueprint A Step-By-Step Plan To Making Your Novels Publishable Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

Jesse Starcher, Robert Cooper and Mark Radulich present their Rammstein Zeit 2022 Album Review! Zeit (English: Time) is the eighth studio album by German Neue Deutsche Härte band Rammstein, released on 29 April 2022 through Universal Music. Produced by the band with Olsen Involtini, the album was unplanned and recorded as a result of the band's tour being postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The lockdowns enforced due to the pandemic spurred the band's creativity, resulting in spontaneous writing and recording sessions. Rammstein recorded the album in late 2020 and early 2021 at La Fabrique Studios in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France, where they recorded their previous album. The album's title track was released as the lead single on 10 March 2022.

What are different ways you can communicate in a more effective way? And how can you ensure that, as a business owner, your team members feel valued, and instill a great communication mentality in your company? Co-hosts Hannah Robinson and Melissa Honan discuss how to communicate more effectively as a business owner in different contexts – including with people you don't really like. [0:44] Hannah and Melissa – who have been working with a communication consultant for almost two years now – find the topic of this episode to be one of their favorites. [2:14] Melissa believes that the art of communication is something we all constantly work on and have room for improvement for it. [2:59] Hannah breaks down the four main types of communication: verbal, non-verbal, written, and visual. [4:52] The co-hosts both admit to struggling with non-verbal communication. [7:31] For Melissa, communicating effectively and respectfully are both equally important. [7:56] Hannah sees professionalism as key. Whether you're listening to someone, writing something for them or similar, you need to remember that you're going to be working with these people and you should act, behave, and communicate accordingly. [9:44] For written communication, both Hannah and Melissa recommend you take a look at Grammarly. [11:52] When it comes to communicating with her team members, Melissa typically relies on Slack. However, for delegating a task, she's open to the other person using whichever platform, tool, or app they're comfortable using the most. [13:10] Hannah believes that asking questions and communicating your goals, as well as your boundaries and expectations, could help avoid miscommunication. [15:59] Melissa likes to learn what other people's goals and boundaries are. She also stresses the importance of asking about these boundaries. [18:12] Hannah shares what she believes workplaces, business owners, and bosses should focus on to create a happy work environment. ​​[21:42] Melissa throws remote working into the mix and adds how to address the issues at hand in a remote work environment. [24:43] There are four horsemen, and in his study, these are the things that Gottman identified to understand whether a marriage will work: criticism, defensiveness, contempt, and stonewalling. [25:23] Co-hosts Hannah and Melissa touch upon the importance of trying to focus on communicating and working harmoniously with someone you really don't like. [30:20] When trying to communicate with a remote team, Melissa thinks it's important to overly communicate in a positive manner.     Mentioned in this episode: Grammarly Slack ILB episode 23 - How to Be a Better Boss and Create a Company Culture Your Employees Will Love John Gottman's Four Horsemen success@ilovebookkeeping.com

In this episode, we cover:00:00:00 - Introduction00:00:57 - Rootly, an incident management platform 00:02:20 - Why build Rootly00:06:00 - Unique aspects of Rootly00:09:50 - How people should use Rootly Links Referenced:rootly.com/demo: https://rootly.com/demo TranscriptJJ: How do you now get this massive organization to change the way that they work? Even if they were following, like, a checklist and Google Docs, that still marks as a fairly significant cultural change, and so we need to be very mindful of it.Jason: Welcome to another episode of Build Things on Purpose, part of the Break Things on Purpose podcast. In our build episodes, we chat with the engineers and developers who create tools that help us build modern applications, or help us fix them when they break. In this episode, JJ Tang, co-founder of Rootly, joins us to chat about incident response, the tool he's built, and the lessons he's learned from incidents.So, in this episode, we've got with us JJ Tang, who's the co-founder of a company and a tool called Rootly, welcome to the show.JJ: Thank you, Jason, super excited to be here. Big fan of what you guys are doing over at Gremlin and all things Chaos Engineering. Quick intro on my side. I'm JJ, as you mentioned. We are building Rootly, which is an incident management platform built on top of Slack.So, we help a bunch of different companies automate what we believe to be some of the most manual and tedious work when it comes to incidents, like creating virtual war rooms, Zoom Bridges, tracking your action items on Jira, generating your postmortem timeline, adding the right responders, and generally just helping build that consistency. So, we work with a bunch of different fast-growing tech companies like Canva, Grammarly, Bolt, Faire, Productboard, and also some of the more traditional ones like Ford and Shell. So, super excited to be here. Hopefully, I have some somewhat engaging insight, I hope. [laugh].Jason: Yeah, I think you will because in our discussions previously, we've always had fantastic conversations. So, you've kind of covered a lot of the first question that I normally ask, and that's what did you build? And so as you explained, Rootly is an incident management tool; works with Slack. But that naturally leads into the other question that I asked our Build Things guests, and that's why did you build this? Was it something from your experience as an engineer that you're just like, “I need a tool to solve this?” What's the story behind Rootly?JJ: Yeah, definitely. Sorry to jump the gun on the first question. I was a little bit too excited, I think. But yeah, so my co-founder, and I—his name is Quinton—we both used to work at Instacart, the grocery delivery startup. He was there super, super early days; he was actually one of the first SREs there and kind of built out that team.And I was more on the product side of things, so I helped us build out our enterprise and last-mile delivery products. If you're curious what does [laugh] grocery have to do with reliability, actually, not that much, but the challenges we were dealing with were at very great scale. So, it all started back when the pandemic first started getting kicked off. Instacart was growing rapidly at the time, we were scaling really well, we were heading the numbers where we want it to be, but with suddenly the lockdowns occurring, everyone overnight who didn't care about grocery delivery and thought, “Well, why don't I just drive to Walmart,” [laugh] suddenly wanted to order things on Instacart. So, the company grew 5, 600%, nearly overnight.And with that, our systems just could not handle the load. And it'd be the most obscure incidents you wouldn't think would break, but under such immense stress and demand, we just couldn't keep the site up all the time. And what that really exposed on our end was, we don't have a really good incident management process. What we were doing was, we kind of just had every engineer in a single incident channel on Slack. And if you got paged, you just kind of ping in there. “I just got woken up. Did anyone else? Does this look legit?”And there was no formal way, so there was no consistency in terms of how the incidents were created. And then, of course, from that top-of-funnel into the postmortem, there wasn't too much discipline there. So, we really thought about, you know, after the dust kind of settled, there must be a better way to do this. And like most organizations that we work with, you start thinking about how can I build this myself?I think there's probably a little bit of a gap right now in this space. People generally understand monitoring tools really well, like New Relic, Datadog, alerting tools super well, PagerDuty, Opsgenie, they do a really good job at it. But everything afterwards, the actual orchestration and learning from the incidents tends to be a little bit sparse. So, we started embarking on our own. And for my co-founder's side of things, he was more at the heart of the incident than I was. I think I was the one complaining about and breathing down his neck a little bit about why things [laugh] sometimes weren't working.And—yeah, and, you know, as we started thinking about internal solutions, we took a step back and thought, “Well, you know, if Instacart is facing this problem then I think a lot of companies must be as well.” And luckily, our hypothesis has proven to be true, and yeah, the rest is just history now.Jason: That's really fascinating, particularly because, I mean, it is such a widespread issue, right? And I think I've experienced that as well, where you've got a general on-call or incidents channel, and literally everybody in the organization's in there, not just engineers, but—like yourself—product people and customer success or support folks are all in there. And the idea is this, sort of—it's a giant, giant crowd of folks who are just, like, waiting and wondering. And so having a tool to help manage that is extremely useful. As you started building out this tool, I'm starting to think there are starting to become a lot more incident management tools or incident response management tools, so talk to me about what are the unique points about Rootly?Because I suspect that a lot of it is influenced from, “These are the pain points that I had during my incidents,” and so you pulled them over? And so I'm curious, what are those that you brought to the tool that really help it shine during an incident?JJ: Yeah, definitely. I think the space that we're in right now is certainly heating up as you go to the different conferences and the content that's put out there. Which is great because that means everyone is educating the broader audience of what's going on and just makes my job just a little bit easier. There's a couple, you know, original hypothesis that we had for the product that just ended up not being as important. And that has really defined how we think about Rootly and how we differentiate a lot of what we do.How we did incidents at Instacart wasn't all that unique, you know? We used the same tools everyone else did. We had Opsgenie, we used Slack, Datadog, Jira, we wrote our postmortems on Confluence, stuff like that, and our initial reaction was, “Well, people are using the same tools, they must be following a very similar process.” And we also looked and worked a lot with people that are deep into the space, you know, Google, Stripe, the Airbnbs of the world, people that have a very formal process. And so we actually embarked on this journey building a relatively opinionated tool; “This is how we think the best incidents can be run.” And that actually isn't the best fit for everyone.I think if you had no incident management process whatsoever, that's great. You know, we give you super powerful defaults out of the box, like we do today, and you kind of can just hit the ground running super fast. But what we found is despite everyone using basically the same kind of tools, the way they use it is super different. You might only want to create a Zoom Bridge for, you know, high severity incidents, whereas someone else wants to create it for every single incident, for example. So, what we did was really focus on how do we balance between building something that's opinionated versus flexible, where should customers be able to turn the knobs and the dials.And a big part of it is we built what we call our workflows, and that allows customers to create a process that it's very similar to theirs. And a part of that we didn't anticipate at the very beginning was, although the tool is super simple to use, I think or average install time is probably 13 minutes, all the integrations and everything on a quick call with our customers, the really heavy lifting comes with, how do you now get this massive organization to change the way that they work? Even if they were following, like, a checklist in Google Docs, that still marks as a fairly significant cultural change, and so we need to be very mindful of it. So, we can't be just ripping tools out of their existing stack, we can't be wildly changing every process; everything has to happen progressively, almost, in a way. And that is a lot more digestible than saying you're going to replace everything.So, I think that's probably one of the key differences is we tend to lean more on the side of playing with your existing stack versus changing everything up.Jason: That's a really good insight, particularly because coming from Chaos Engineering, and that is almost entirely changing the way that people work, right, is Chaos Engineering is a new practice, so I definitely empathize with you, or sympathize with you on that struggle of, like, how do you change what people are doing and really get them to embrace it? That said, being opinionated is also a really good thing because you have a chance to lead people, and so that leads me to our final question that we always ask folks—and this is where being opinionated is good—but if folks were to use Rootly, or just even wanted to improve their incident response processes in general, what are some of those opinions that you had about how people should be doing that, that they should consider embracing?JJ: Yeah, that's an awesome question. So, a couple things, a little bit related to your second question that we initially thought but just proved to not be as important for us, everything that we build at the beginning—and still build—is relatively laser-focused on helping you get to that resolution as fast as possible. But from an organizational perspective, what we found is, people don't think about incident management success as how quickly they can resolve an incident. A lot of it's actually just having that security and framework and consistency around the incident. So ironically, as a tool in incident management, the most important things are actually around your people and the process and the culture that you can develop around the tool.No matter how good of something that we build, you know—let's say you're an organization, you just bring in Rootly, you have a very blameful way of handling postmortems, no one generally understands how severities in organization work, you're super laser-focused on, you know, tracking MTTR, which can not always be the best metric, but you still want to interpret it as such, it's very difficult to make the tool successful. So, that's the biggest advice that we give to our customers is when we see those type of red flags from, like, a process and culture standpoint, we'll try to guide them the best that we can. And we'll also do it from a product perspective. What you get out of the box today, we have companies as small as, you know, 20 for example, just kind of being able to hit the ground running; they'll use workflow templates that are pre-built based on some best practices that we've seen to just kind of layer in that framework. So, I think that would be a really big one that we've noticed is it's not all about us; it's not all about the product and the benefits that we can provide; it's about how we can actually enable our customers to get to that stage.Jason: I love that answer. Well, JJ, thanks for being a guest on the show and sharing a bit more about your journey and the journey of Rootly.

Let me ask you something. How confident would you be buying a meal from a food truck that is so rusted and smoke-stained that you can't make out its name on the side? Or how confident would you be staying at a motel where the paint was peeling off the doors, siding was missing on the building, and duct tape held the cracked windows together? Or how confident would you be buying a car from an auto dealer whose windows were so dirty you couldn't see through them and whose sign was missing a couple of letters? I bet your confidence wouldn't be very high in those situations. How do you think a client would feel if they came across a website that contains errors while looking for a designer? I bet they wouldn't feel too confident in hiring that person. That's what I want to talk about today, making sure your messaging doesn't contain errors. Let me give you a bit of background here. I decided to talk about this today because someone sent me a message earlier this week. Now, if you've ever contacted me for whatever reason, there's a good chance I looked at your website. It's just something I do. Any time someone emails me or contacts me on social media, I'll try to find their website to see how they present themself. So, someone sent me a message earlier this week, and when I found their website, the first thing I saw was a spelling mistake. The very first line of the website was “I Designs Websites.” Other places on the website included passages that lead me to believe this person is not a native English speaker. But I'll touch more on that later. And even though it was a beautifully designed website, and this person had a fantastic portfolio, those spelling and grammar mistakes made me question the quality of this person's work. Now imagine I was a client looking for someone to build a website for my new business. Those errors may be enough to make me second guess this person and move on to another web designer. Be careful with jargon. But it's not just spelling or grammatical errors that can hinder your chance of landing clients. Another section of this same website described their services and how they work. They mention that the first thing they do is build a wireframe to show the client before making their website using WordPress. Elsewhere on the site, it said their web hosting includes a CDN. You probably understand what I just said if you're familiar with websites. Imagine a client with no knowledge of websites other than knowing their business needs one. “Wireframe,” “WordPress,” and “CDN” don't mean anything to them. Reading these things may cause them more confusion, which may make them look elsewhere for a web designer. I talked about Jargon in episode 217 of the podcast. Jargon is common terminology in specific industries but maybe not so common outside of them. I'm a web designer, and I remember wondering what wireframes were the first time I heard someone use that term. It wasn't until I understood what a wireframe was that the word became part of my vocabulary. I'm not saying you shouldn't use these jargon terms in your communication. But if you do, you should add some clarity for anyone unfamiliar with them. For example: “We start by building a wireframe, a mockup layout of your website for you to approve before we start building the real thing in WordPress, a popular website platform, powering over 60% of the world's websites.” “Our web hosting includes a CDN, a content delivery network that improves the efficiency and speed of your website and helps you rank higher in search engines.” Even if a client doesn't recognize the jargon, they can still understand what you're saying because of the descriptions. A designer's job is communication. As designers, people think our job is to make things look good. And in part, it is. But more importantly, a designer's job is to ensure a message is told clearly and understandably. Design is about communication. And if the communicated message is confusing, then the person, company or organization behind that message will appear less competent. But what can you do? The first suggestion I have is simple. Spell and grammar check your work. A spell and grammar checker can help eliminate most problems, but only to an extent. They can identify misspelled words but are not as good at finding incorrect or better words. For that, I use a tool called Grammarly. I've been using Grammarly for years. Not only does it find spelling and grammar errors, but it helps improve my writing by suggesting alternatives. It helps me be a better writer by making me sound better. It's well worth the small price. Be wary of mistakes in headlines. I read a report that said there were more errors per capita in newspaper headlines than in the body copy. It said that, on average, there was one error for every 1000 words of body copy compared to four errors for every 1000 words of headline copy. Most people don't read headlines; they skim them—even the proofreaders whose job it is to find errors. Don't only rely on spell checkers. The other thing about spell checkers is they won't help you identify jargon. For that, you need to have someone else read over your text and tell you if there are problem areas. We do this all the time in the Resourceful Designer Community. People share their work, and others point out any problem areas they detect. Then the designer can choose whether or not to make a change. Having someone else read your work is especially important for anyone where English isn't their first language. This is probably the case with the website I looked at this week. The person wrote the copy themself to the best of their ability, but the fact that they are not native English speakers is evident. And this may turn away potential clients. The more precise and accurate your writing, the more professional you'll sound, and the more willing clients will be to work with you. Different dialects for different regions. And it goes beyond just language. Regional dialects also come into play. For example, if you're targetting clients in North America, you may say something such as. “I design custom logos.” However, if you're targetting clients in Europe, you may want to write “I design bespoke logos.” Both words mean the same thing, but “Custom” is more common in North America, whereas “Bespoke” is used more often in European countries. Colour is another example. You're going to spell it c-o-l-o-r if you're talking to Americans and c-o-l-o-u-r for most other parts of the world. I'm in Canada. And any time I'm looking for a printer or supplier, I'll take note of the spelling on their website. If I see "color," I'll know it's an American company, and I may continue my search to find someone in Canada. Make it count. You only get one chance to make a first impression. And if you fail at that first chance because of poor writing, there's not much you can do to regain someone's trust. So I suggest you take some time and closely go over your website and other marketing material. Or have someone else do it for you. Identify any problem areas or areas that could be improved and make changes. The better you sound, the more professional you'll appear, and the better the chances are that a potential client will hire you. Don't lose out because of poor writing.

We all learn differently and understanding the science of learning helps us all uniquely learn better. And the more we know, the easier it is to learn and understand new things regardless of your profession. | Brought to you by Grammarly (https://grammarly.com/passionstruck) and Raycon (https://buyraycon.com/passionstruck). The science of learning is the ongoing process of information retention over time. Because our memory makes up the very framework through which we make sense of and take action within the present, its importance goes without saying. But how exactly does it work? I use the unique story of Dr. Siddharth Warrier to illustrate how we learn and why lifelong learning is so important.

Susan Cain — Bittersweet, the Happiness of the Melancholy, How Sorrow Creates the Union Between Souls | Brought to you by Grammarly and Raycon. Susan Cain is one of my favorite authors and completely changed the way I viewed myself and my own strengths. Susan is the author of the Quiet Journal, Quiet Power: The Secret Strengths of Introverts, and Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking, which spent eight years on The New York Times bestseller list, and has been translated into 40 languages. Her new masterpiece, Bittersweet: How Sorrow and Longing Make Us Whole, is available now. Susan's first record-smashing TED Talk has been viewed more than 40 million times and was named by Bill Gates as one of his all-time favorite talks (and if you like that one, you should check out her most recent TED Talk with violinist Min Kym). LinkedIn named her the top sixth influencer in the world, just behind Richard Branson and Melinda Gates. Susan partners with Malcolm Gladwell, Adam Grant, and Dan Pink to curate the Next Big Idea Club. They donate all of their proceeds to children's literacy programs. Bittersweet: How Sorrow and Longing Make us Whole In her new book, Susan discusses why sadness and the happiness of melancholy are key to achieving self-transcendence and the union between souls. As with the majority of people, you've probably been taught your entire life to look at the positive side and be happy no matter what. While there is a place for optimism and looking at the bright side, by burying your melancholy and sadness, you may actually be doing yourself a terrible disservice. Please enjoy Susan Cain's episode and leave us a 5-Star rating if you love the episode. I know Susan and I would appreciate seeing listener comments.
