Hey! Happy birthday late! Advice: there is no end to knowledge. Never stop in this area:))

Fabian Maume · Answer

Build you own content equity. As soon as you gain some experience, start speaking about it. Create a blog, podcast, youtube channel, or whatever medium you like. It won't help your career early on, but it will give you exponential return in the long run.

Belated bday wishes :)

My advice: Be curious with a beginner's mindset and try to make as many experiments as possible. You have everything to gain and nothing to lose.

Good luck :)

This advice from one of our (https://www.withlloyd.com/) recent blog posts is a good perspective:

“Stop trying to do what you think everyone wants you to do, follow your gut, listen to your heart, break some rules, and do work you are really proud of.”

Find new ways to automate you work with Product Hunt startups. Because successful marketers are usually those who got into new channel early and could generate a lot of traffic from rising platform.

@fabian_maume That is a great advice. Thinking about doing it. I'm just really shy and afraid of people's judgment. Advices?
