I tried this but lasted only a day using ChatGPT instead of Google

Learning to Learn the coursera course is always recommended

I haven't found a list like you've specified as it is an emerging field, however I would recommend aligning yourself with langchain which seems to be leading in the area. They have a great amount of resources and tutorials, I would start with the deeplearning.ai short course.

This is the case with all neural nets/black box AI models and a lot are used in various industries.

Basecamp is the best reading I've found on this. https://world.hey.com/dhh/why-we-re-leaving-the-cloud-654b47...

Great comment, I can fill in some of your references.

The Essay you were referring to is the brilliant "The Gervais Principle"

Reforge talks about your cycle - I can't find the exact artcile but you can see it with marketplaces a lot - i.e. Facebook creates APIs for events, 3rd parties build platforms on these APIs, Facebook kills the API access. This is the closest article I could find related to "tactics" https://www.reforge.com/blog/growth-loops

I've been working in Digital Analytics for 10 years as a freelancer for SMEs and implementations for billion dollar companies. I am very comfortable saying for 99% of websites there is no better alternative, paid or free to GA4 and based your requirements you fit into that 99%. Happy to debate this in comments.

edit: I believe the 1% exceptions are:

- if you are a are a tech company

- run multiple Adobe tools (CMS, CRM)

- have niche privacy requirements

- have an app

Yep, one game I follow Hearthstone Battlegrounds has had a majority of funding for events slashed by Activision Blizzard. Very unfortunate for the professional players who are incentivised more to be successful streamers rather than competitive gamers and us fans.

Love these for finite state machines - one of my favourite topics at uni.

I saw a life coach for 12 weeks and a therapist weekly for a year - similar cost. I found the therapy (gestalt/CBT) much more beneficial in general but like a muscle it needs to be maintained. The life coach was quite interesting at the time but what they called "self limiting doubts" was framed a lot better through psychotherapy.

But about half of average Australian household assets are held in the value of the home, accounting for an average $A509,000 out of a total average household assets of $A1.1 million.

Finally finished the "Gervais Principle" essay, was real high quality.

I did this during lockdown here's some comments.

- It was not as fun or engaging as weightlifting. I agree with @gateorade about the progression too. - I have a background in weightlifting and so was not worried about injuries - Gloves help quite a bit with annoying hand issues - Some exercises are very ineffective - i.e. back - I think they are more suitable as a more involved stretching routine than as a workout replacement - You can buy no name brand sets VERY cheap

I am overweight, if I wasn't overweight I would do bodyweight exercises. I have never tried yoga but maybe thats helpful too.

I also agree with top comment that dumbells and a bench are much better.

There are a massive amount of people doing this with their ads or affiliate programs - I suggest looking at affiliate lab or authority hacker which are paid courses but have a lot of examples and interviews of founders who operate in this space. Also Empire Flippers does write a lot about these businesses.

It is always a battle of strict taxonomy vs agility in my experience and in nearly every company I've worked for someone somewhere chose agility. And all it takes is one poorly thought out migration/project to undermine the whole activity of taxonomy. Believe me most large businesses with multi-million dollar investments in digital analytics aren't even doing the most basic campaign tracking correctly, let alone worrying about taxonomy.

I always try to align names with internally used terminology but even a simple thing like "log out" can be complicated for self-service reporting. For example is USER_LOGGED_OUT a dimension (fired on all events), fired by an event listener on a button click or fired after a user-session is cleared by the applet. Are the differences between each platform/operating system?

I don't think theres anything better than good documentation (even within the tag management system) and testing tools like Amplitude's event explorer so that analysts can actually verify what has happened. A few analytics vendors have written about this and segment uses the object-action framework like you've suggested. https://segment.com/academy/collecting-data/naming-conventio...

Currently reading “never split the difference” and one of my takeaways has been for negotiations (or trust-building in general), people are anxious/frustrated about saying “no”, so enabling an environment where people can say no allows for better trust.

Personally understanding how neurotic/anxious I am empowers me to be able to say no, as I try to consciously be aware that subconsciously I am less likely to say no when it’s in my best interest.

Sample size of 1 I've been using a blocker for the last week (do this a few times a year) and yes I can attribute it to social media, I will ebb and flow between being on social media too much and being too antisocial - its okay to swap them in and out

I'm the digital analytics manager for a company that does multi-billion dollars in ecommerce. The real time analytics our ops team use doesn't use any of this behavioral information.

Only place it's been asked for by an operations team is during large (1m+) email sends to ensure there isn't a spike in traffic to error pages.

Outbrain (content advertising), Media.net, Clickbank (affiliates), amazon affilaites, pubmatic

These aren't flashy but they are alternatives.

+1 for bandcamp, I promote a lot of indie music and its the most fair payment you'll receive (see here: https://medium.com/@gloom303/a-year-ago-i-released-an-ep-on-...)

Other distribution strategies I don't know a "global" silver bullet, there are a lot of tastemaker youtube channels like "harakari diat" "stoned meadow of doom" that can help with promotion but won't earn you any income. Similar with getting on spotify playlists through distributors etc.

was thinking this too!

Not really an answer to your question but this resource might help https://www.reforge.com/blog/crossing-the-canyon-product-man... - reforge courses are great (especially for networking in the US) so that might be an option for a credential.

I think you would be "upsold" to engineering because its where they believe they'll get the most value out of you.

I agree, I've worked with universities who share content as private youtube videos, heck even businesses use "private links" accessible by anyone who has the link for spreadsheets etc.

I don't think you have a guilt-free position, the fact your website is public puts you at risk of litigation (not a lawyer.)

Hi Hm I think you'd find the best commercial opportunities being an expert or trainer or Tableau or Power BI. I think you should talk to a few "Data Journalists" if you want to produce stuff like Nadieh's work - I feel like you will need a portfolio to get that kind of work.

Russel Brand's book and video course were great for me - wasn't particularly what I needed but really opened my eyes to some of the cognitive distortions I have.

John Kim's books I also found useful.

The best tool for a small budget is ensuring that your on-page (or technical SEO) is in order. The best tools for that are page optimizer pro or SEO surfer, there is also CORA but its a lot more technical.

For me this year the best improvements have come from time - these have the highest returns monetary wise too as most are free.

- Meditating (Headspace or Waking Up App - try the 30 day trials)

- Heavily exercising 3-4 times a week ($15/week gym)

- $8 Gratitude Journal app

- Eating clean and cooking (cheaper than eating out)

In the last 10 years (I'm nearly 30) I've invested a lot in coaching, training, conferences and books - nothing has really helped even close to as much as the above. At the end of the day my increases in salary have been mainly from keeping a critical mind, not further training. A great daily practice also makes every book I read much more meaningful.

Completely agree with this - changed my life!

I agree with this approach and have seen it mentioned a few times in indiehacker or solopreneur communities.

Do you have any resources in particular you are following for this? 30x500 seems like one of the only courses for this but it has mixed reviews (source: google, HN)

I am on maybe 20 a week at the moment - main problem is the cost (which is probably $160 AUD a week) and how it makes the next morning/next few days useless while your body recovers.

Hope you continue succeeding!
