#Freelancing feels freeing…until you’re chasing invoices at 10PM. Corporate feels stable…until you realize you haven’t blinked in 3 Teams calls. I’m switching it up this week & writing about something more personal. Coming Sunday. #freelancelife

Marketing builds the plan. Advertising brings it to life. That’s one of the takeaways from this week’s Marketing Manual. Still seeing folks treat them like the same thing (they’re not). If you missed it Sunday, catch up here: https://itswilder.com/advertising-vs-marketing #advertising, #marketing

I really wish LinkedIn would open up their platform to third-party apps. I’d love to use it more, but it’s hard to navigate the current app.

Probably should’ve said this a while ago, but… I’m no longer at Comcast—I accidentally skipped the “life update” post & just went straight back to the hustle. Same creative brain, just fewer meetings :) So if you need help with campaigns, branding, design, or motion—I’m around. 🖥️ itswilder.com

Did You Know? 🛍️ About 90% of people say ads play a role in what they buy. 📺 And #TV still holds up—huge reach, trusted platform, and space to actually tell a story. Consistent, creative ads aren’t background noise—they’re how brands stay top of mind. #advertising, #marketing, #smallbusiness

My gym warm-up is going up and down the stairs 10 times for something I forgot before I even leave the house.

One of the (many) problems with #freelance life is being boxed into a niche and picking one skill you’d like to monetize. But I love and study multiple creative areas: branding, photography, motion graphics, and product design and development.

Hey @jonnie.com! During the pandemic I used Cushion & LOVED it! I'm back freelance now & in need of accounting software once again. I was checking out the site and it seems there hasn't been much dev which is concerning. Are there ways to attach receipts, run PnL reports, access for accountants?

There are seemingly endless tutorials and software reviews for iOS design, but I can’t find anything on macOS design. Can you still use Figma? Are there good tutorials for how to start developing a Mac app?

I’m thinking about redesigning my website, but I also have some interest in iOS design. And macOS software design. Is there a one-size-fits-all design software that’s best for all three platforms: web, iOS, and macOS?

Hey #photographers - Do you think there’s a business opportunity for someone to help you manage your day-to-day shoots, tasks, budgets? This would be a third-party company that helps do all the project management for you? All you would have to do is book the gig.

A check out clerk told me yesterday that there’s a setting in ApplePay that tells the register to NOT print a receipt. I can’t seem to find it. Is this real? If not, seems like a slam dunk setting to add if possible.

It’s been a fun Sunday going through some old photos and re-color rating. These are from 2018 at the National Air & Space Museum.

There’s Gym Trackers and there’s Health Trackers. One is great for tracking weight/reps and the other is good for tacking overall training. Is there not one app that does both?

It only took a few hours for me to get a @notion.com database up and running with over 20 properties, including formulas, relations, and rollups. I’ve now spent 3 days trying to figure out how to get analytics out of it. Super frustrating experience.

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see a media story about DOGE that doesn't also mention the fact that the Government Accountability Office exists and performs the exact function that DOGE pretends to, only in a credibly constitutional, non-partisan, and conflict-of-interest-free manner

I’m starting to get that cruisin’ itch again. This was taken a few years ago on our honeymoon cruise cruise on @royalcaribbeanintl.bsky.social ‘s Harmony of the Seas.

@foodnoms.com One feature other platforms have is the ability to read your activities and show an option that adds them to the overall calorie count. Is that a part of the plus subscription and I’m just not seeing it or something maybe you’re working on?

Are there any tools that can take the instagram list of people you follow and search Bluesky, Mastadon, or Threads for those same accounts? It’s exhausting trying to do this by hand.

Happy Valentine’s Day 😘 to my crazy beautiful wife.

If every politician, actor, activist, and news agency that is so enraged by Elon Musk would stop posting on X and write, “You can find our official post on (platform).” Do that over, over, and over again; he might finally get the message.

Why in the world would #Apple make a professional camera app like #FinalCut Camera and not allow it to record in different audio mixes like the default camera?

Happy Birthday to our family’s best friend.

The best way to handle this is to take all public responses off his platform till it’s no longer a way to get viable information. The only posts they should be making on X is, “You can find my official response on [platform].” Over and over and over.

Ah! Did you know that in the new iOS Mail app, if you swipe left on the categories, there’s a 4th category called “All Mail” that lets you see everything in your inbox, just as before?

I just wanna shoot a bunch of clips with my iPhone and have an AI editor put them together for me while allowing me to make small adjustments and add LUTS or color correction as I see fit. Does that exist?

@macworld.com Just curious why you didn’t mention Preview in your article about a new app to replace Acrobat? Mac users already have it and it’s free. www.macworld.com/article/2588...

Dear @gentler.app, I downloaded the app for the 1st time and was met with this ad. It sounds like a good deal, and I’m tempted, but I just opened the app, so I have no idea if I want to commit yet. Plus, the app says it’ll take 7 days to get to know me, so how can I make a decision in 24 hours?!

The head of Instagram and Threads just announced they are starting to finally test Ads: www.threads.net/@mosseri/pos...
