If you spent $1,000 on Facebook ads in the last month and you haven’t looked at advanced reports? You’ve left at least $300 lying on the ground. Advanced reports are key to getting the highest value you can out of your ad account. But most founders and new marketers don’t even know about it. Which

Earlier this year, I wrote an article on how to use Pirate Metrics for your sales funnel for a great outlet called RevGenius. In retrospect, about 60% of that article is wrong. You should throw away your sales funnel. Use this instead: “Why that’s just a Pirate Metrics sales funnel turned upside down, Trevor!” I

💡 I’ve seen plenty of great founders build and launch micro startups as a way to try many different ideas and see what sticks. I’m not a builder, though: I’m a marketer. So I had an absolutely insane idea to start off 2023. I’m not going to build 3 startups in Q1 and launch them
TikTok ads are low CPM (that is, confusingly, the terminology marketers use to talk about “cost per thousand” impressions), can be great engagement, and are easy to get started using. If your audience is <35 or is located in South America or Asia, you should probably be checking the platform out. Yes, even if you’re
Building a personal brand is important not only during your education but also when looking for work. By publishing articles and engaging in conversations on non-academic forums, you’ll establish yourself as an expert and make it easier to find opportunities. Not only will this help you financially, but it will also give you the recognition
Go To Market is a daunting enough task when you’re trying to launch a new CRM or to-do list, more so when it’s for something as complex as Web3. When you best describe your project as “a token that serves three distinct purposes: governance over the network, staking and bonding”, most people won’t even know
I’ve written a whole lot about how to generate the content for your landing page. At CrowdTamers, we’re obsessed with finding a clear, repeatable ways to create landing pages as quickly as possible because we make several every week. I don’t talk much about the design.

Odds are pretty high that at this moment, right now, your pricing is too low. Let me be more clear: Unless you actively know that your pricing’s not too low, your pricing is probably too low.

To create a successful go-to-market strategy, a business needs 3 things: Most people, when they’re launching a startup or a business, fixate on the first of those 3: the problem.

Testing a new idea requires a completely different approach to performance marketing than scaling a business. If you have the wrong approach with your Facebook ads, you’re doomed. Building the right audience is the first step to creating a Facebook campaign. Let’s make sure that you’re building an audience that’ll reflect the goal you’re trying
Building products is hard. Launching a new business is hard. Everything about it is confounding: you deliberately create order out of nothing. As the founder, you have to conceive something that doesn’t exist and, through hard work and unwavering belief, bring it into existence. If you’re wrong about your business idea: the timing, the positioning,
Google search advertising is a nearly bottomless source of high-intent traffic that is looking to purchase. It’s also expensive click traffic which is one of the easiest ways I know for a founder on the early stages of their go-to-market journey to throw a few thousand dollars down a hole to no effect. There are
Most content marketers are yet to fully explore the potential of social media distribution. In fact, they’ll tell you must wait 3 – 9 months for content to generate any kind of positive return on the investment it took to write it. They’re wrong. Your content can make you money the day you publish it
For most technical founders, when you push that first code commit live on a production server, it feels like you’ve made the leap from “dreamer” to “doer”. Congrats! One problem: 24 hours go by and no one has signed up. Crap. You have to market this new idea. After spending a weekend reading blog posts
In spite of being a startup marketer for 20+ years, I’ve only been running CrowdTamers as an agency for the last 1. Before that, I was short term / fractional CMO, serving 1 – 4 clients at the same time, helping build, grow, and scale the marketing practices in their startup; I’ve used CrowdTamers as
Since our focus at CrowdTamers is startup go to market, we talk a lot about launching. But there’s something scary about your first launch: you’ve never shown anyone what you’re up to before and maybe you suck at it. Maybe not? How do you know? Most entrepreneurs aren’t master designers. Heck, I used to be
Eight months ago, I published a blog post about the 9 experiments to take you from $0 in revenue to building the understanding and fundamentals of a million-dollar funnel. Since then, it’s earned me $250,000. That’s kind of interesting, but what’s more interesting than that it has made that much money despite only getting 1,300
Recently we’ve talked about the importance of launching today to validate your ideas and also how to build a WordPress website to launch a landing page in a few hours.

Inside every employee is an idea for a business that they’re convinced could make a million dollars. For almost everyone, that idea remains pure, unblemished, and a wistful possibility that is never threatened with reality. There are good reasons that most people’s business ideas never even approach fruition: the statistics of business success are grim.
The majority of times I see people sharing information about their A/B tests, it looks something like: “I just ran a test and got 40 visits at a 12.5% conversion rate on page A whereas I got 7 visits at a 14% conversion rate on page B, so Page B is clearly better!” This is
Most founders don’t understand what makes a good test. 💡 A good test tries several bold new approaches to talking about what you do, speaks to several different audiences, or repackages your existing feature set into completely different products. Testing minor variants of language are not gonna cut it. Let’s start with the first one:
