📝 Notes: “REWORK” by Jason Fried

"Build an audience, not direct marketing; speak, write, blog, tweet, make videos…"

Notes for the book “Rework”

  • Cut the “menu”
  • Focus on something constant (amazon – fast/free shipping, return policy, etc).
  • If anything takes more than 2 weeks, bring other people to take a look.
  • Break the project into stages.
  • Don’t try to overcome competitors, but change the rules and get something new.
  • Don’t memorize what a customer wants, if it’s really important he will remind you many times.
  • Build an audience, not direct marketing; speak, write, blog, tweet, make videos…
  • Teach people something, and share your knowledge in this same industry.
  • Let them to your backstage.
  • Hire somebody only when it hurts, when you really can’t do it all.
