  12. Resulting in a whole lot of this…
  13. And my personal favorite, this…
  14. Instead of improving our processes, we’re creating spam templates and inundating publishers with them. Why? For every industry buzzword we use in a pitch, a publisher kills a kitten; but, even worse, they tune out.
  15. An opportunity exists, Buzzfeed.com but it’s quickly diminishing for our industry. http://frc.tl/GY2k4Z
  16. On average, top-tier sites publish 300 new pieces of content per day, each. There is a gap in capacity, and you could fill it. Why are we competing instead of building mutually beneficial relationships?
  17. Again, let’s do the math
  18. More and More and More Emails Sent from Inexperienced content creators. Using auto-generated email templates. Creating an overflowing inbox OF SPAM THERE’S ONLY ONE CONCLUSION:
  19. We’re all about to be blacklisted
  20. This isn’t just a publisher issue. It’s our industry’s issue. It affects our industry’s brand, stemming from our noise-to-value ratio
  21. You need to start using your brain before sending.
  22. THE ROBOT INVASION WILL WIN.
  23. Your Numbers Will Suffer Average industry response rate: 14-17% Average industry placement rate: 4.5-4.8% http://frc.tl/1dbA115

  30. That doesn’t mean you should do this… #DontBeABot
  31.
