@MattBilotti @emilybilotti Congrats you two!!

Two of my biggest product pet peeves right now: 1) Literally cannot create a group in @instagram chat, 2) Unable to bulk edit the ‘watch later’ playlist in @youtube. Basic functionality in my opinion that should encourage repeat usage

Appreciate all the notes: “Keep fighting the good fight—you’re one of the only reasons I stay on Twitter.”

The main reason I’m on Twitter is to introduce people to my books.

Most of my waking hours are spent thinking about SaaS go-to-market, and my work at @PrimaryVC has afforded me great pattern recognition around where GTM work most frequently goes wrong for early-stage businesses. Today I'm excited to share the most common pitfalls we see. 🧵🧵

Tony Fadell co-created the iPhone.

In his book, Build, he explains why product management and product marketing should be the same role.

"Your messaging is your product. The story you're telling shapes the thing you're making."

I've always believed this as someone who did both.

@Seany_Biz It’s fine. Everything’s fine…

A sign a startup has true product/market fit is the ability of a mediocre sales rep to be continually successful.

[Will Collins @WillCollins09]

@MattBilotti Ahh yea I agree. It is super helpful.

I've passed these same rules on to my own children and the original copy hangs next to my bathroom mirror.

@Kellblog Amen

@chrishandyblog @MattBilotti Right now Durgod but waiting on the Freebird TKL from Keebs For All

[Will Collins @WillCollins09]

@dcancel @MattBilotti I like it a lot actually for what it is. 4k so better than what comes built it to your computer but doesn't cost what a DSLR setup would (Opal is another one in the category). Bummer that Zoom limits to 1080p though.

[Will Collins @WillCollins09]

@MattBilotti I am currently waiting on the Freebird TKL and GMK Alpine. The moonlander looks a little too serious for me. Heard good things about the OwLabs SPRING if you want a split.

[Will Collins @WillCollins09]

@MattBilotti How serious do you want to go?!

Dear Startups,

SEO is NOT tough. It is just poorly taught.

In 9 tweets, I will explain SEO using the analogy of a LIBRARY.

Even a 5-year old would understand! Promise :)
