Two and a half years ago, I started Marketing Examples. People liked the case studies. So I left my job and went full-time. Since then, they've been read by more than one million people. Which... still blows my mind. Ask me anything about growing the site and newsletter to 90,000 subscribers. Or share what you're working on and get a few quick marketing and copywriting tips. Cheers. Update #001 Replying atm.
Update #002 All done. Thanks.
We are pumped to be launching ArianaAI on ProductHunt tomorrow! Ariana is a ChatGPT-powered AI assistant that lives in your WhatsApp. From daily tasks to travel or questions that take more than a single google search, Ariana is always there and you can chat to her as you would text a friend. I managed to grow our users to over 10k already (on both paid and free plans) - Ask Me Anything! Will be happy to share my strategy and hopefully help someone else!

I don t mean this in a disrespectful way or anything like that, but throughout my life, I ve come across (and I m sure you have too) several products whose actual usefulness wasn t exactly impressive, but their creators still made a huge amount of money.
For me, for example, it was:
Fidget spinners (2017). At the peak, the global market was estimated at hundreds of millions to over $1 billion.
Metaverse land (2021) valuation could be for tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars each, with the overall market reaching hundreds of millions during the peak hype cycle. I bought one too. :D (actually was scammed).
Pet Rock (1975) the creator became a millionaire within a few months.
It's Thanksgiving week and as we all reminisce on what we are thankful for this year I thought it would be fun to include products in the mix. What products are you thankful for?
I recently bought the book "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill at a well-known bookstore for $4. I absolutely do not understand how this is possible, because I have to say that it is probably the best book I have ever read. And it was only $4, WTF?! So, what's the most powerful book you have ever read?
