Be truthful to your value when setting your price. Why discounting your product too much can be counterproductive

Whatever service or product we’re offering, at some point we need to decide on a price tag. In most cases, especially when starting a new business, we set a very low price to attract as many customers as possible and move the needle from zero in our bank account.

New issue of my newsletter!

I had to do a contest on X to get to 100 followers, here it's happening organically. VERY nice!

The old way of doing threads here is a severe limitation. I would like to paste a long text here without having to chunk it myself into small pieces.
Or am I missing a functionality?

Just casually putting this here to laugh about it when I'll have 12K readers

Very nice Man, thank you!

We are on a mission then

I totally get it but I wouldn’t be so drastic. With proper education and desire to work hard, at least in our niche, one could avoid scammy agencies and do a better work by themselves.

True! But most video are too shallow

You're right, I'm afraid. Most of YT videos I saw on some specific topics related to my niche are just some copy paste and it's clear there's no real experience.
I have to confess to you that sometimes I stop myself from writing about something or making a video on a topic I don't master.

What I noticed about most courses or YouTube classes on marketing is that nobody tells you what to do when things are not working, that is like 98% of cases.

I'm trying to change that with everything I create, showing practical solutions rather than just saying "go broad and make cool creatives".

A crash course on CPM in a short that is not too short.

Sleepless night is clearly visible, as much as my 40 years.

Yes, I have a small game in js that I want to port in a 3d env. I'll try to ask Claude to help me

I didn't look into it yet but obviously they can't be as good as with js. But probably like you said they can dive into docs faster than us.

Ah. Expected that!

Do LLMs "know" Unreal engine?

Can I prompt-create something without proper knowledge?

Anybody tested it?

The Ads Dude is releasing some free classes for Facebook Ads.

I know, the audio sucks, any recommendations for the best mic to record YT videos?

Ideally with USB-C so I can plug directly into the Macbook.
In the meantime, part 2 of the FB Ads masterclass is live, link in the first comment!

At least we don't get 5 followers bots everytime we post.

If you build your ad solely around problem-solving, you might struggle to hit your customers’ “bullseye.” But if you place a TRIGGER at the core of your campaign, you’re more likely to evoke a strong emotional response.

TRIGGERS are the why behind someone’s desire to solve a problem. For example, I don’t just want to get rid of acne—I want to look better so I can confidently ask someone out. That’s my trigger.

You forgot me! ;)

I wonder if Bluesky follows the same rules of the old Twitter?

I guess no analytics yet for Bluesky? Or is it somewhere and I'm just dumb?

Yes, same.

Love it, thank you!

Good intentions though. Might evolve in something better than Cursor. How are you dealing with Cursor's issues?

The Ads Dude is on Bsky as well!
