Oho!
New Season of Somebody Feed Phil just dropped on Netflix.

A friend of mine can’t stand Phil Rosenthal ("too obnoxious"), but I really like him.

That friend also can’t stand Weird Al.

But he’s still my friend, weirdly.

Long before the internet, some phone networks were hackable by playing a single tone at 2600Hz.

Whistled into a phone, it could grant you unrestricted access. Do you have the vocal chops to be an old-school phone phreak?

I built a web app to test your ability to produce the legendary frequency. You won't get free long distance calls but you will get some honor in the knowledge that you could have been a cool hacker. 😎

I am sad to say that I can only whistle up to 1100Hz... But my wife (a long time woodwind player) is able to consistently get it.

Give it a try: https://phreak.kmcd.dev/

Can you guys help me out?

If you go to https://readwith.club,
...and you scan the page very quickly
...up until the point where you feel getting losing interest, like 30 seconds or less,
...and then you stop and come back here.

How would you summarize what you just saw?

ReadWith

Sell your reading notes. Read a book with someone else.

Being able to describe your dream customer.
Nice.

"A novel way"
"No spoilers"
"Turn the page"
"Keep reading"

Love when the words match up like that, between the domain (of reading) and the user's JTBD.

New page coming tomorrow probably.

They say an image is worth a thousand words.
But landing pages with short bits of text feel off.
They're off because it's a style.
An overused style.
That says,
a lot.

A marketing approach that's quick, inexpensive, and right for your offering. That's the goal.

It doesn't have to be all-out.

So here are a few questions to get to that minimal marketing.
https://everyonewantsprogress.com/0070-minimal-marketing/

Minimal Marketing

Every marketing tactic is not built the same.There are marketing approaches which will take up a lot of your time for little impact. Others will take up a lot of your money to be in front of just the right people. And other approaches are just not going to be something you’re comfortable pulling off.
