  • For one, there's journalists picking the dumbest tweets and pretending it's news. Then screenshots of the "news" article of a dumb tweet getting propagated on other fora.

    It's ragebate, conditioning us into a default distrust in and condescension of others.

  • Not gonna lie: my first customer was a place I interned at when I was a student. So I knew who to contact, and what the potential value of my product was, as it was tailor made.

    After that I started with contacting other companies via linkedin. Here my "trick" is to contact managers with an engineering background, as they more than often speak my language. In other words: I look for people who (a) have a technical understanding of their production process and (b) are high up enough on the corporate ladder to have a say about spending. Weirdly enough: a rare combination.

  • I went the route of selling B2B because they have bigger budgets. And they are, in my opinion, easier to convince to pay (my first customers had a no gain, no pay contract).

    Just to let you know that that's an option, too.

  • No. Small talk is what you do with people who are unfamiliar. It's not the bits you exchange with someone who is intimate. That's just catching up. Small talk takes effort for an introvert (which I am). Catching up is just shooting the breeze.
