This is a vital role, you’ll be responsible for growing our customer base of paying customers and tightening up our conversion funnels.
This position will have complete control over managing and driving customer growth so having a desire to lead and manage a comprehensive growth strategy, as well as the skills to help execute that strategy, is critical.
You’ll need to take on the traditional marketing world, SEO and paid channels (AdWords, Facebook, 3rd party networks, etc), content marketing, and the new techniques of growth-hacking, all with a heavy emphasis on data and analysis to run experiments and validate hypotheses.
The successful candidate must be passionate about using data to make decisions and taking the company vision to new heights.
We’re looking for someone who embraces failure in testing, learns from it and makes their decisions better the next time around.
As a startup, no job is too big or too small for anyone at the company, so we’re looking for someone who thrives on being challenged, with a do-what-it-takes attitude, and a high level of intellectual curiosity. They are energized by finding new and more efficient ways to do anything (processes and systems are just what we need to tighten up the way we work).
It's a simple fact that a lot of the stuff that exists now to do awesome things and learn skills faster, wasn't available 2, 3 even 5 years ago (never mind a decade ago).
But it's never really "late" to do anything career wise. Other's may have issues with age, but you can always learn new skills, work on projects, start businesses and more. There's no age limit on taking action.
It's easier now, more than ever, to pick up a framework to action on something and just do it.
Most devs that I've noticed as really passionate and good at what they do, don't have a degree. That's just my experience at half a dozen startups, but a majority of the devs I've met thus far don't have a degree.
If you can get the backups as dump files, have them sent to a Dropbox account or remotely to a server. Then install Backblaze or Crashplan on that server.
You end up with a Dropbox backup, server backup and a 3rd backup via Backblaze or Crashplan.
Cost is around $10/mo for Dropbox, $30 - 40/mo for a server if you go with OVH and $5/mo for Backblaze or Crashplan.
Projects I take on aside from this I usually tie goals and performance metrics to. It very much depends on the goals and objectives to be achieved for the project.
For example if your project is to take an iOS app from 100 users to 1,000,000. That I wouldn't take on as a project, that's what someone should take on as a career/job more than a contract. 100 users to 10,000 is something I would consider freelance/contract size.
Marketers on Demand was setup as a test of the 7 Day Startup framework and to run an idea validation thought. Not really for full on projects.
On the unlimited plan I can execute on the initial advice in bursts.
For example, if you have a spa in Toronto, Canada. I can make a channel or campaign suggestion and then spend your sessions in the month setting up and optimizing that campaign.
I would leave this thread, but comments like this make me think that you're actually dangerous so I'm going to follow this up. In thirty minutes, you CANNOT learn enough about a single spa, its services, or its competition in its particular area of Toronto to gain any sense on whether or not Adwords is a good channel. I think that you simply have bought so many Facebook/Google ads that it is the only game you know, so it is the only channel you will ever recommend.
I wish you the best and I hope that your advice does not outright kill any companies.
Learning and executing are 2 very separate things.
In 30 minutes you definitely can execute a campaign. Then come back a few days later and spend another 30 minutes reviewing and optimizing.
Learning is something that is very separate from the request process. The 30 minutes is execution time post-learning.
That being said, for quick results Google AdWords is a very reliable channel for hyper local businesses. There definitely are other passive lead generation channels like Instagram, but as an example Google AdWords is an easy go to.
This still doesn't add up. You offer a 24 hour turnaround, yet you hope to learn about a company, plan a campaign around that situation, figure out appropriate metrics to evaluate whether it is effective, and then execute on that in 30 minute bursts.
Even if you can do that, you will have an incredible amount of trouble making a consistent profit unless you can keep your acquisition costs very low. And, frankly, based on what I've seen it's very hard to trust you so I'm not sure how low your acquisition costs could get.
It can be. I have spent beyond $300,000 on Facebook ads and I'm learning more as I keep spending. If you have a Facebook campaign that's not converting, I can jump in and use the request to optimize.
In 30 mins I can do a basic AdWords campaign setup, review and probably adjust meta tags on your website, write you new copy, setup a marketing strategy (this would be multiple sessions), etc.
You would be amazed with what can be done in 30 mins. If you are on the monthly plan I go above and beyond. If I need to spend an hour learning your brand and company, I'll do it and then spend the 30 minutes executing. But as I said, 30 minutes is ideal, but not 100% set in stone. If it takes an hour, it takes an hour.
My goal is high quality output. But on the monthly plan you can get small bursts of that output.
For example, if you want a 1 year marketing strategy, that would take multiple sessions. But I can break it up over a month and put in the time required.
So what is your strategy in terms of making money here then. At $175/mo for 30 minutes a day, you are working for $17.50/hour. Is the idea that most people won't use up the entire 10 hours/month?
I am going to wait and see if reviews/testemonials show up that talk about results this actually delivered in terms of increased traffic, conversions, etc.
I'm running this as part of a test of the 7 Day Startup method. Just generating revenue to start is the goal, but the pricing and everything will be iterated on over time.
From past experience there is usually a divide of those who will make full use of the service and those who will use it as a net to help when it's needed. But that has yet to be seen and iterated on.
