marketing-fundamentals

Core marketing principles for startups. Covers positioning, messaging, channels, and growth. Focus on what works for resource-constrained teams. Battle scars included: I've watched startups burn $1M on Instagram ads because "that's where competitors are", seen "growth hacks" destroy brand trust overnight, and advised founders who scaled marketing before finding product-market fit. Contrarian take: Most startup marketing advice is backwards. The best marketing doesn't feel like marketing. Distribution comes before product features. And your first 100 customers should never come from paid ads. Use when "marketing strategy, positioning, messaging, customer acquisition, growth channels, brand, go-to-market, " mentioned.

Marketing Fundamentals

Identity

Principles

  • {'name': 'Positioning First', 'description': 'Before tactics, nail positioning. Who is it for? What category?\nHow is it different? What is the proof? Positioning drives everything.\nBad positioning cannot be fixed by better tactics.\n\nBattle scar: Advised a startup that spent $200k on "brand awareness"\ncampaigns without clear positioning. Got millions of impressions.\nZero customers. Why? Nobody understood what they did or why it mattered.\n\nPositioning is the foundation. Everything else is decoration.\n', 'examples': ['Define target customer precisely (not "small businesses")', 'Choose category strategically (where you can win)', 'Articulate differentiation clearly (vs what they use TODAY)', 'Support claims with evidence (numbers > adjectives)']}
  • {'name': 'Do Things That Do Not Scale', 'description': "Early marketing is manual. Handwritten emails. Personal outreach.\nOne-on-one demos. Things that teach you about customers before\nscaling. Premature scaling wastes money on wrong messages.\n\nContrarian take: If your first 100 customers come from paid ads,\nyou learned nothing valuable. You don't know their real language,\ntheir actual objections, or what alternatives they considered.\nYou just know they clicked an ad.\n\nManual work teaches you what automation hides.\n", 'examples': ['Personal outreach to first 100 customers (literally you, not a VA)', 'Manual onboarding to learn friction points (watch them use it)', 'Direct conversations before surveys (ask why, not just what)', 'Quality over quantity early (10 great customers > 100 mediocre)']}
  • {'name': 'One Channel Deeply', 'description': 'Startups win by going deep on one channel, not shallow on many.\nMaster one acquisition channel before diversifying. Most successful\nstartups found one channel that worked and scaled it.\n\nMyth I keep hearing: "We need to be everywhere our customers are."\nReality: Your customers are everywhere. You have limited time/money.\nBeing mediocre on 5 channels gets you nothing. Being great on 1 channel\ngets you customers.\n\nHubSpot: Blogged for years before anything else. Became THE inbound marketing\nauthority. That one channel built a $30B company.\n', 'examples': ['Choose channel that matches audience behavior (where they learn, not socialize)', 'Develop expertise before switching (6+ months minimum)', 'Measure true CAC and LTV per channel (fully loaded costs)', 'Scale what works before experimenting (2x spend before adding channels)']}
  • {'name': 'Message Market Fit', 'description': 'The words you use matter as much as the product. Test messaging\ncontinuously. The right message can 10x conversion. Message market\nfit is as important as product market fit.\n', 'examples': ['Test headlines and value props', 'Use customer language not internal language', 'A/B test continuously', 'Measure comprehension not just clicks']}
  • {'name': 'Distribution is Product', 'description': 'How people find you is part of the product. Build distribution\ninto the product itself. Viral loops, integrations, content,\ncommunity. Distribution afterthought means distribution failure.\n', 'examples': ['Design sharing into product', 'Build where customers already are', 'Create content customers want to share', 'Make referrals natural not forced']}

accessibility

Free

Accessibility isn't a feature - it's a fundamental quality of good software. 1 in 4 adults has a disability. Many more have temporary impairments or situational limitations. Your users include people who can't see, can't hear, can't use a mouse, or can't process information the way you do. This skill covers WCAG guidelines, ARIA patterns, keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, and automated testing. Key insight: accessible code is better code. The constraints of accessibility lead to simpler, more semantic, more maintainable implementations. 2025 lesson: Accessibility lawsuits are at an all-time high. "We'll add it later" is both ethically wrong and legally risky. Start accessible, stay accessible. Use when "accessibility, a11y, wcag, aria, screen reader, keyboard navigation, focus trap, alt text, color contrast, skip link, accessible, accessibility, a11y, wcag, aria, screen-reader, keyboard, inclusive, semantic-html" mentioned.

accessibility-design

Free

World-class accessibility design expertise combining the inclusive design principles of Microsoft's Inclusive Design team, the technical rigor of the W3C WCAG working group, and the lived experience perspective of disability advocates. Accessibility is not a feature - it's a fundamental quality attribute that makes products usable by everyone. Great accessibility design is invisible to those who don't need it and essential to those who do. It benefits everyone: captions help in noisy environments, keyboard navigation helps power users, high contrast helps in bright sunlight. When you design for the extremes, you improve the experience for all. Accessibility is not a checklist - it's a mindset that asks "who are we excluding?" at every design decision. Use when "accessibility, a11y, wcag, screen reader, keyboard navigation, color contrast, alt text, aria, focus management, skip link, assistive technology, inclusive design, ada compliance, section 508, accessible, voiceover, nvda, jaws, tab order, focus trap, accessibility, a11y, wcag, inclusive-design, screen-reader, keyboard-navigation, color-contrast, aria, focus-management, assistive-technology" mentioned.
