    Weekly Progress: What will you get done this week?

    I think your focus is too much on learning by studying, rather than learning by taking action and observing the outcome.

    Figuring Out LinkedIn (Sales, Prospecting, More)

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Blimey. This post from 4 days ago triggered a few Google Ads folks and has resulted in a lot of engagement which I think brought all those impressions. Every time I look at it there's loads more impressions.

    Social media post about Google Ads budgets brings out idiots

    MARKETING 
    I thought people would be politer too, but I guess some people want to be seen with a contrarian hot take, or maybe they were triggered. What's interesting is I can see some people like my post and then like my responses to the top replies that argue against what I'm doing. So how I reply to...

    Yep. It's a minefield. All these little settings to allow them to take control and spend more.

    Thanks MJ. It turned into a chat about Google Ads budgets, which is grand. I'm curious how you deal with people posting crap on your social media posts. Do you just ignore them at this stage?

    Thanks for this. You're right, most people scroll past. There's been quite a few Likes, Saves, and Reposts. I shouldn't let a few idiots annoy me. I'm not sure whether to reply to each though, for the benefit of other people reading. I did in this case, but maybe won't in future as it just...

    Starting a Youtube Channel in the age of AI slop?

    Try reading these two sentences out loud: I’m thinking about starting a YouTube channel, but there's a lot of AI slop. I’m thinking about starting a YouTube channel, and there's a lot of AI slop.

    There's more than one way to skin a cat. My strategies work well in some cases, and different strategies work better in other cases. What annoys me is when people assume their way is the only way.

    Usually one shared budget across them all. The difference is... you're genuinely asking. A lot of folks on LinkedIn immediately call it stupid rather than trying to find out what I'm doing and why. I have zero interest in interacting with them, but feel I have to reply so others reading...

    No. We might have dozens or hundreds of campaigns, and conversions are spread across hundreds or thousands of keywords. Sometimes we don't even have conversion tracking in place.

    They're idiots and rude imo. They're all assuming I'm running maximise conversions or similar when I'm using manual bids. They could ask if I was but instead they assume I'm running campaigns how they are, then launch into how ridiculous or categorically stupid what I'm doing is. Then some...

    It boils down to... If they want to spend €100/day max then Google shouldn't take more than €100/day. And if their subcontractor is taking a few days off then they should be able to pause campaigns and when they enable them again then Google shouldn't spend more than the €100/day budget to...

    Funny, I was just down the pub talking to a couple of mates talking about HR. We were saying how so many youngsters get into HR thinking they were going to help people in the workplace, but actually their role is very, very different, and that's to protect the employer from the employees.
