Welcome to the fifth edition of my LinkedIn Newsletter, Random (sometimes crazy) Thoughts About Business and Life.

Each week I send a summary of my almost-daily emails where I share what's on my mind even if it's inappropriate.

Good, better, or best?

You've seen ads offering three options, GOOD, BETTER, and BEST.

These offers used to grab my attention until I learned a dirty little secret.

Affiliate marketers do "reviews" of products and rank them as GOOD, BETTER, and BEST.

And of course...

The product they rate the highest is the one they receive the highest commission from.

Read this article for my thoughts on the GOOD, BETTER, and BEST marketing strategy!

Last year, LinkedIn limited you to 100 invitations per week because people were getting too aggressive with the "spray and pray" approach. Today, a colleague reached out to me because he hit his 100 invitation limit.

Read this article for my way around this limit!

Ads in Gmail are never based on the content of your emails

Google and Apple swear they don't listen in on our conversations but...

Don't get me wrong.

I love yelling across the room "Alexa play the Beatles' White Album" and it starts playing.

I don't like these devices listening to everything I say and then trying to sell me something.

Read this article if you can relate!

Some of you remember the days when we used to gather at the water cooler or coffee pot to talk about last night's episode of our favorite television show.

A lot has changed.

Did you know that water cooler chats lower your blood pressure?

You call this a lead?

Marketers always claim they can get you leads.

Lots of leads.

What do you consider a lead?

When marketers start talking about leads, my mind goes right to Seth Godin's book "All Marketers Are Liars".

Read this article and then let me know if you agree!
