Curious why people choose platforms like Whatnot (<whatnot.com/)>>) over just using TikTok, even with TikTok Live / Shop and improved brand search?
I can see it works better flash sales and limited-time deals for a fun competitive rush / high.
Need to test it out. Not sure if anyone else here has checked it out? Send thoughts.
Welcome to all those back!
Daily reactivation rates for @lens users in the month of September were at ATHs.... 3x uplift. Nice to see people coming back and exploring whats new in the ecosystem
For anyone doubting the creator economy: Tech is creating new industries faster than ever. You can become a subject matter expert online quickly and establish yourself in various new and emerging industries.
I do still believe a fundamental layer of knowledge and experience is key but this combined with adopting things early can give you a huge leg up in different industries.
Yes I shamelessly love pop music and love dua lipa
Melanie Perkins from Canva is such a boss. Love to see Aussie founders succeeding at a global level!
Important decisions that set them on a path:
*"Not shipping product for 2 years, for a product company is very unfun but what that did was *set the foundations of our technology platform that we have been able to capitalize upon and develop more rapidly.
Two years of setting the foundation for things like simultaneous collaboration across all adopt types, getting interoperability into a great spot, codebase set up to scale development team.
Least fun thing we did but most important foundation. Huge technology investment".
Quick wins are nice, but dedicating time and effort to building resilient, long-lasting foundations which allow you to move quicker and do more in the future is undervalued when playing the long game.
Great case study on this.
