Almost every digital marketer that uses automation software benefits from it, but these tools are currently more popular in the U.S. than in the U.K. That's according to a transatlantic survey of digital marketers commissioned by Zapier. The responses also show that digital marketers use automation software (software designed to automatically complete tasks) most often for following up quickly with leads and communicating effectively with their team. Perhaps unsurprisingly, those who use automation software are much more likely to say they're working in the most efficient way possible. Methodology: Between September 29, 2020 and October 6, 2020, Zapier surveyed 519 employed Americans and 100 employed U.K. citizens who work in digital marketing, performance marketing, or advertising, including those who perform these functions for their small business. Almost everyone who uses automation software says they benefit from it 97 percent of U.K. and 94 percent of U.S. digital m

Blogging is an outstanding way to get your voice out and be heard. This is especially true for brands looking to boost awareness to an audience outside of their local reach. It can also be an opportunity to network with other individuals within your niche. For a recent post on my blog, Constantly Striving, I reached out and networked with quite a few amazing individuals in the blogging stratosphere for a roundup post with advice for those new to blogging. Their responses turned into a post, 23+ Successful Bloggers Share their Best Advice , which saw an awesome amount of positive feedback, referral traffic, and shares! However, the biggest problem I faced was sending out emails to every single person on my outreach list. The solution was automating my email prospecting and outreach. What is a roundup post? Now, before we get to our solution, let's understand the problem and why it was important to solve it. I spend a lot of my time finding ways to help other bloggers find succe

In 2011, Marc Andreessen said that "software is eating the world." He was referring to a process of macroeconomic change. In his view, software was on track to revolutionize how businesses operated, grew, and served their customers. He was right. Software became a core part of daily business operations—and with it came the rise of the bundled solution. All-in-one tools and business suites became the model for software companies eager to carve out and defend their own market segment. But today, things are shifting. Organizations of all sizes can now take advantage of highly specialized solutions for whatever business needs they have. As companies adopt these niche software solutions and discard their old enterprise ones, we're witnessing the great unbundling: the average company of 50 or fewer employees uses 40 different software subscriptions . It's becoming the go-to model for business growth. There are all sorts of benefits to an unbundled approach. It means a

The internet was more fun when people made websites for the heck of it. I think people should start doing that again. Around 2009, single user websites were everywhere. You could see if it's Christmas , find out how many people are in space , or get a page that is sometimes red and sometimes blue . It was fun. These sites make the internet a better place, yes, but building them is also a great way to learn how to make things online. Learn by doing I made a pointless website much more recently than 2009. I'd been curious about how to use Zapier's webhooks for quite a while, but I only really figured it out after a friend (I think?) asked me for a big red button that makes me leave. I actually built that button using Zapier webhooks. Anyone who finds this button (which I will not link to) can press it, and I'll get a message in Slack telling me to leave. It hasn't been used yet, but I'm glad it exists. I need to know when to leave. I learned something an

Want to feel stressed, anxious, and/or completely exhausted before you even have breakfast? I highly recommend looking at your phone right when you wake up. I tend to look at Slack, email, and (*sigh*) Twitter right after I wake up. But sometimes I wonder if my head would be clearer if I just…didn't. So I tried it out—and asked my coworkers at Zapier to join me. I didn't set hard rules, but I did offer some suggestions. Pick a time, then don't look at your screen until then. I recommended one hour after waking up, but ultimately, you should choose whatever timing makes sense for your mornings. Think of something else to do instead. Maybe take a walk, maybe do some journaling, maybe make a nice breakfast—just make sure you have a plan, so you don't default to picking up your phone. Don't use your phone as an alarm. It's going to be hard not to look at your phone if it's the first thing you touch in the morning. Consider buying an old school, actual a
