finish the week strong.

After years in the fast-paced world of startups, I created Thursday Hustle to share marketing insights, strategies, and quick tips that can help your team achieve more in less time.

In fact, this morning Jason Chappel a strategic advisor for top DTC brands and me were chatting on how the world of agencies are shifting—companies want custom insights—not one size fits all recommendations.

And they while traditional agencies can help lift the load for work most of the time companies are capable with right direction and roadmap to execute themselves.

This is why I started Thursday Hustle. To give you free tools and tips to win. No matter your sector.

I hope you've had a fantastic week! Here are three quick tips to boost your marketing efforts:

🚀 Enhancing Shopify App Listings

SHOPIFY APP’S THIS ONE IS FOR YOU!

I used to work at a leading Shopify app in the data space.

And learned so much about the DTC space and how apps work.

But this should be a secret—there is enough room for us all to grow—make money and live well. Am I right?

If you are a Shopify app check out this video. If you do these things you could be like my recent client that has seen 30% more installs in the last two weeks of optimizing.

Let’s get cracking! 🚀

QUICKLY HIRE—FIND VETTED TALENT

I was at a whiskey tasting at my friends house.

He told me about this idea he had to have an online platform where you can find graphic designers, social media strategies, SDRs, and developers.

And as a solopenuer my ears perked up. I had been using other tools but the vetting time—and costs—was sucking away my soul.

So, I met with their team. Created an account and within a few hours was getting matched with talent that is perfect and predictable.

How could that “extra help” grow your business over the next few months?

LASSO FOR AFFILIATE MARKETING

Running on Wordpress or Amazon?

You can enhance your affiliate program with Lasso—best part is its great for the creator too.

They have built in analytics and you can create visual product images that are tracked in seconds.

Affiliate is continuing to drive more value for brands. Could this be the time to launch your next campaign with affiliate marketing?
