First, you ask if he wants your honest opinion. No one likes unsolicited critism. Second, what makes you qualified to say his idea sucks? Many people in history were told their idea sucked. Next...sometimes it's good to let people fail

I'm not here to make you believe anything. Do what's working for you. If Facebook ads are not working for you, stop using them, or seek the help of someone more qualified than you and your team.

Thank you for being one of the few logical people in this thread. People love to bring out their pitchforks, and report / downvote (or whatever it is they do here) when someone disrupts the "flow" of things. The guy ran a poo

He used the endorsement poorly. He does a way better job at putting on a show than providing a convincing argument.

No, it's not. This is as much of a Facebook problem as it is Google's problem that people send SPAM to people on the internet. This guy doesn't know how to market. People think that advertising is a magic button that you push

I'm a fan of what works. And right now Facebook is what is working. I don't know if it's the same for you, but not a day goes by where I don't overhear someone talking about Facebook in public. About the video, the guy r

I'm not a fan of this video. One is that it's told in a very convincing way. He sure spent some time on his charts and making his opinion sound factual. The problem is that he is wrong. Facebook ads are the most effective way to a

This is not a Facebook problem. It's a problem with how YOU are running Facebook ads.

I'm so glad this video came out. People like me can continue to dominate Facebook ads. This video will scare people away that do not know how Facebook ads work. Ask any internet marketer, Facebook ads are dominating unlike anything in

Nice diary entry. How'd this get to the top of HN?

As a copywriter, I know that the better you are at fine writing, the more of a disadvantage you are in. When you write to sell, you want the focus to be on the product - not your smooth talking voice. Imagine a salesperson using poetry to s

Flat design is so much better. Gradients, shadows, etc. have no practical use.

Coding is not for everyone. This concept of spreading coding like some sort of socialist agenda needs to stop.

I was inspired by his post and wrote one of my own ( http://raymondduke.com/blog/improving-your-copywriter-pricin... ). His (free) eBook is sitting on my Google Drive. I should get to reading it soon.

I think he contradicts himself by saying, "I am the same person now as I was then. I am not a better person," and then, a few paragraphs down... "Mentally I was so much happier, my mood changed and I was able to deal with oth

The thing I don't like about Reddit and HN is that it is full of dudes. These types of sites are the 21st century equivalent of the man cave.

The guy that wrote this is a contributor to Forbes. Anyone can be a contributor to the site as long as they write a few stories that sound like they know what they're talking about.

Medium does not pay a majority of their authors, however, I've heard that they pay some "big names" to help them gain traffic. So unless you are a well known blogger/journalist, don't expect a check.

If you want to change the world, change yourself. You should never rely on others to change in the ways you'd like them to.

Ghost just had a successful Kickstarter last month that raised ~200k. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/johnonolan/ghost-just-a-... . Not sure how you missed that. It's on the first page of Google results.

The last time I checked, that wasn't an option. And now that you mentioned it, I might start to do it, too (sorry). I'm not sure how you can track links via javascript, but I do know how to make a bit.ly link.
