Pacing Thing is a tiny social platform where we keep each other going on our independent projects and studies.

Our way is to work a small amount, daily or weekly, and over time it adds up to a lot. It's like compound interest, like a snowball or a big wave for our tropical friends.

If you've got goals you've been putting off, you've come to the right place.

Do a bit of work with us every day and, drip-by-drip, you will achieve wizardry, you will be granted more and more choice in how you spend your time, and you will give yourself the ability to contribute in powerful ways.

You will no longer be terrorized at night by the Ghost of Christmas Future. Instead, you will be shown a future of pleasant abundance.

Marketing Experiments - S2

Join this group if you have a fledgling project, want to try your hand at a side-hustle or want to see if you can get a better job.

Every day do something to put yourself or your product out there.

Examples:

• Apply for a job
• Share your work
• Post a blog
• Phone a prospective customer
• Put up a poster on a lamp post
• Get feedback
• Make a shelf out of wood and ask if anyone wants to buy it
• Draw or paint a picture of a classic GMC motorhome in a style you can do quickly. Post it to the Facebook Group for owners of classic GMC motorhomes. Ask if anyone wants to pay you $100 to make a portrait of their GMC motorhome.
• Email a thing you made to 10 people who might like it. Say “here, I made this”. Then ask them to forward it to anyone they think might like it. If it doesn't spread, try a different sort of 10 people, or make a different thing. Keep doing this until you have a winner.

Report the results of your marketing experiments to the group. The idea is to have your project interacting with the real world in some way that could either lead to more traction or learning something about the market which you wish to serve.

By the way, here is what a GMC motorhome looks like. It's one of the greatest RVs in history and has many devoted fans:
