I try new things, meditate, build companies, learn languages, cycle and run. Here I talk about go-to-market strategy, creator economy and marketplaces :D

. Gracias por crear un muy buen ambiente y hacer preguntas que ayuden a mostrar vulnerabilidad.

We are just at the beginning of changing the way we buy. Together we are stronger.
Sharing our favorite products will help other people.
Together, we buy better.
This is just getting started.
Congrats

Nobody cares about what you are selling. People want to discover reasons to enjoy life, take care of themselves, give themselves a treat, be a better person, be a cooler person (...)
Sell a reason why, not your product.
Segundo error. Amazon nos aplastó cuando empezamos a crecer. Nuestro revenue cayó un 60% a 3 meses de empezar fundraising.
Escalar la empresa cuando no hay PMF es la mayor cagada que cometí. Eramos más de 20 cuando Amazon nos bloqueó. Con tanta gente no puedes ser ágil ni rápido

con founders tech, hablando sobre aciertos, cagadas y la desconexión de la política con el sector.
Los modelos de afiliación no funcionan. Los take rates son muy bajos, hay mucho scam por parte de los agregadores y no es un modelo sostenible para pagar a creadores y generar margen.
Los creadores de contenido no son lo mismo que los influencers. Muchas marcas confunden tipología y metodologías de trabajo. No puedes pretender trabajar branding y performance al mismo tiempo. Voy a escribir un post sobre esto y compartirlo, a ver si ayuda :D
Hoy ha salido la entrevista que me hicieron hace unos meses, hablando de socialcommerce y como estamos cambiando las cosas desde

Twitter is great. I cold dm'd
@elwatto
to schedule a call. Today we had a great chat about culture, hiring and scaling up the team. 💪🏼💪🏼 gracias miguel!
We asked a user:
- What would you feel if Picker disappeared?
- It would be a big mess because I would have to hire an agency to build an app to keep my favorite products.
LOL.
Creators in Picker share their favorite products and some earn more than 1.000$ per month.
They earn this money by helping other people while being honest about the products they love.
I've seen hundreds of SaaS to automate influencer management. It has been tried for over 10y. It won't work. Advertising requires briefs, briefs requires negotiation and negotiation needs comms. You will end up hiring Account Managers, so you will become an agency 🤪

I would suggest:
- Duolingo usages increase to fight procrastination. You don't want to lie on the couch and watch a tv show, therefore the alternative is learning.
- Strava might be the social component, let's see what my friends have done. Have I been the best runner today?
