when everyone was pulling out of advertising with X, we jumped in (less competition for clicks).
we now spend $30k/month on here and 90% of our leads are from from here.
some strategies that work well for us:
1.) informal ads (sometimes memes)
2.) non-salesy copy

the idea of “balance” when working on or at a startup is absurd. do the best athletes in the world “balance” their life early on? do world-class programmers balance their coding with many other endeavors? bull shit. all in or nothing, at least in my 20s.
