Go to /sitemap.xml on any Shopify store. That gets you the list of each of the sitemaps on that store.
Go to /sitemap_pages_1.xml to see /pages specifically (often used for LPs). It's like ads library for landing pages except it's comprehensive.
People are addicted to escape
-Abass Wurie
This was said about drugs, but drugs are are just one avenue of escape.
Thanks to Gabe the Bass Player, I’m beginning to see that I think of brands like songs.
Some are transient hits and others classics.
Some are pop sensations, others underground faves, others niche anthems.
There’s usually a song of the summer.
Regardless, a song is the same combination of parts for everyone who hears it. But the way we each hear it is different.
Once it’s all there it will be powerful enough to let the audience think they have it memorized even when they don’t.
The sweet spot is caring deeply about the process while not caring too much about the outcome.
Process over results.
This is key to doing good marketing work.
The process is the same regardless of client or project.
Outcome is largely reliant on the client/project.
Relying on external forces for satisfaction is a recipe for discontent.
