Have you had success with guerrilla marketing?
I'm learning (slowly) about the importance of marketing your product. (I am probably one of todays 10,000 around guerrilla marketing)
So last night I hacked together https://purposefulpoop.com/ to see if it could drive some leads for my product.
I'm going to launch the playful tool next monday and use this thread to give a plot synopsis on how it all goes.
Prior to launch though, I'm curious if anyone has any feedback that might make the hook stronger?
I added (a poorly designed) OG image, so the shareable is at least somewhat tasteful:
What else am I missing?

Maybe change "how much do you make pooping?" to "How much do you earn by pooping?" For some reason it's weird to me to read "make pooping" 😂
But it looks fun, I would click it.

@catt_marroll FYI your personal website links on your profile is broken
@catt_marroll Yea maybe it was a fluke, it's working now. Earlier when I tried to see it I was getting "error: bad request"

@busmark_w_nika I've heard this rhyme before:
Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime.
That's why I poop on company time!
Back when I used to work for a moving company the guys would always be saying that! I guess it just stuck with me over the years haha.
At some point I bought the domain for it, thinking I would make the app.
this thread made me realize I could use it to promote my finance tool.
I'm not sure it will actually convert, but I need to keep trying to improve at marketing, so this feels like a step in the right direction. if for no other reason than its forcing me to think like a marketer...

The first time I hear a domain name, it sounds weird. But it's a good marketing tool to grab attention.
It's like when you stop scrolling and a light bulb goes off in your head: "Wait, what?" :DD

Generally speaking, you're message needs to be very simple and clear. Like could it be compared to anything to help better contextualize? What specific problem does it solve? How does it fit into someone's current lifestyle or workflow? Those types of questions help build a clear messaging strategy.
The graphic is honestly great though lol. Def will stop a scroll. 😆
This is genius :)
lol, got my attention dude.
This is fun and a great marketing idea! I guess we do poop gold ;) I've shared with the office
