“Marketing” just means being considerate.

Derek Sivers

Don’t confuse the word “marketing” with advertising, announcing, spamming, or giving away branded crap. Really, “marketing” just means being considerate. Marketing means making it easy for people to notice you, relate to you, remember you, and tell their friends about you.

Yearning for the Vast and Endless Sea

Tomasz Tunguz

“My goal is to make you love rowing.” That’s how my first rowing started. I had never picked up an oar or stepped into a racing shell before.

Derek Sivers

Derek Sivers

I knew a music publicist in New York City when she was at the peak of her success. A few of her clients had hits, so everyone wanted to work with her. She was flooded with new music. Here’s how she dealt with the flood: Whenever someone sent their music, it would go into an inbox. That inbox was completely ignored. Whenever someone contacted her to follow-up the first time, to ask if she’d received it, she would take their music out of that first inbox, and put it in a second inbox.
