The 90-9-1 Rule is a rule about most public online groups that states:

  • Black circle 90% of people just lurk.
  • Black circle 9% of people casually participate.
  • Black circle 1% of people create most content.

Listerine’s honest copywriting

August 26, 2020 by Neville

“I hate it, but I love it.” This is a great example of “Copy Judo” where you take a negative aspect of a product (in this case bad taste) and turn it into a positive (the harsh taste shows the product really works).

A different use for Campbell’s Soup

August 25, 2020 by Neville

Sometimes you can take an existing product and “repurpose it” for other uses. Kind of like alcohol companies making hand sanitizer. My favorite example of repurposing is this Campbells’ Beef Broth ad showing that you can just drink it directly!

Walt Disney’s winning strategy

August 24, 2020 by Neville

This is the Walt Disney Company strategy chart from 1957. I’m not a huge fan of charts like this (they are kinda confusing in my opinion), but it shows how all their divisions weren’t separate projects, but rather fed into one another.

Earl Nightingale on your environment

August 20, 2020 by Neville

“We become what we think about. People who think about becoming lawyers, become lawyers. A bad environment makes you think bad thoughts. A beautiful environment makes you think beautiful thoughts.”

-Earl Nightingale

Experience vs Income

August 19, 2020 by Neville

The life of a freelancer looks like this. It’s super difficult at first, but then gets wayy easier later. At first you have to hunt for clients, by the end they find you. Good luck on your journey :)
