Why this thumbnail keeps changing - Startups 101 | Sidebean
Why this thumbnail keeps changing - Startups 101 Try ChartMogul ► https://youtube.slidebean.com/yt-thumbnails -- The platform for founders to scale their startup ► https://slidebean.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=yt-thumbnails Pitch deck consulting services for startups looking to scale ► https://slidebean.com/pitch-deck-consulting-services/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=yt-thumbnails A/B testing calculator ► https://slidebean.com/ab-testing-significance-calculator -- #startups #slidebean #thumbnail #youtube The reason why Youtube thumbnails change is A/B testing. Essentially creators are testing one thumbnail against the other to find the winner, but that test can be repeated repeatedly to optimize through the last consequences. And this practice extends to newsletters, email subjects, landing pages, websites, and to entire apps. So I hunted for examples and stories from founders and product managers that could tell me more about what they’ve done and how it has impacted their work. And I discovered, of course, how we are all essentially guinea pigs of thousands of experiments that are running all across the web, on every single page you visit: experiments ranging from simple color changes to changes that tap into the very core of our psyche. So in this video, I want to tell you a few of the stories that I discovered, successful A/B tests that companies have run, the platforms they use to run them, and some of the best practices from our own experience doing this ourselves.

The (Real) Untold Story of The Office | Sidebean
The (Real) Untold Story of The Office - We don’t just make videos. We help startups present to investors. ► https://youtube.slidebean.com/dunder-mifflin - Subscribe to our startup newsletter ► https://slidebean.com/newsletter #startups #Slidebean #DunderMifflin -- In 1949, Robert Dunder and Robert Mifflin founded the company. Initially, it sold brackets but moved to paper, as it was a booming business. The company would dominate the Northeast. It opened branches in Buffalo, Rochester, Utica, Stamford, Albany, Camden, Nashua, and Scranton. Even in the face of competition, the company thrived. And, it's safe to say that both Michael Scott and Dunder Mifflin evolved side by side. After all, he was more than just a salesman. He was the epitome of company culture, for better and worse. His methods pushed the boundaries of right and wrong. So, HR personnel hated working with him. And he hated working with them. By the way, HR is a whole topic here. But, bear with us, this company has a complicated history. But, back to Scott. He was good at selling paper. That's how he reached the regional manager position. The bad thing was that he wasn't the best at social skills. Perhaps, that's why the film crew loved him. Well, no, that's not why, but it helped. -- 0:00 Dunder Mifflin - Intro 3:23 Dunder Mifflin - The Film Crew 4:30 Dunder Mifflin - A Troubled Vision 8:59 Dunder Mifflin - Tough Times -- Follow Caya: https://twitter.com/cayahere https://instagram.com/caya_here Turn on notifications for the podcast & rate it a 5-star for new episodes.

On the product side, you are essentially trying to find the perfect combination of audience, pain point, and solution. While marketing or sales are of course essential, you can hire the best marketing team with all the money in the world, and they still wouldn’t be able to make a flawed product succeed. We have over a 100 Forensics episodes to prove it. A customer hypothesis could be ‘first-time startup founders’, a problem hypothesis is that ‘they don’t know how to navigate fundraising’ - and a solution hypothesis could be an intensive accelerator program, or a Skillshare course, or a suite of SaaS tools that guide you through the steps. A company’s lifetime is how many times they can iterate on these three ideas to find product-market fit before they run out of money.

Pandora Papers: the 'legal' way to avoid taxes | Sidebean
Pandora Papers: the 'legal' way to avoid taxes Find out how we can help your company ► https://slidebean.com/youtube Check out Jake Tran's take on the Papers ► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKvq0MNr7sw #startups #Slidebean #fundraising 0:00 Pandora Papers - Intro 0:56 Pandora Papers - What are the Pandora Papers? 3:08 Pandora Papers - Why do tax havens exist? 5:34 Pandora Papers - The thin gray line 14:06 Pandora Papers - What is going to happen next? We don't know precisely when the ICIJ began to get the info that led to many investigations. But we do know that it's been happening since 2013, at least. They ‘followed the money’. This phrase gained popularity after the Watergate scandal. But tracking money has been vital for uncovering who's behind the shadiest business in the world since long before Nixon. The problem is that power, greed, and corruption can sweep even the deepest trail. For decades, journalists have dedicated countless hours to "following the money." One important player is the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ). This is a global organization that gets a lot of info from a lot of people. They even have a "leak to us" tab on their home page. The ICIJ is behind some of the most important investigations. They've released the Mauritius Leaks, China Cables, Panama Papers, and the Pandora Papers. This latest leak is the biggest in history. 11.9 million documents, totaling almost 3 TB of information, tell the story of how the rich hide their wealth, avoid paying taxes, and, yes, launder money. The Pandora Papers investigation required the work of 600 journalists from 117 countries. They went through the records of 14 offshore service providers. What came out has devastating implications. But, what's worse, is that the problem might be too complicated to solve. Let's think of it as a parallel secret financial world where the rich and powerful safeguard their wealth. One way to do so is through offshore accounts. These are outside the country that generates the money, in countries with low or no corporate tax. But, then, they create a network of corporations so complex that it's almost impossible to keep track. Until there's a leak, of course. Who does this? Big names. The Pandora Papers include 35 current and former Heads of State, 300 politicians, and many celebrities from more than 90 countries. If you want to know more about the people involved, check out Jake Tran's killer video on the topic. As for Slidebean, I wanted to talk about how tax havens and how they work. You see, offshore companies and tax havens aren't necessarily illegal or wrong. But they can be. The key is how people use them. -- Follow Caya: https://twitter.com/cayahere https://instagram.com/caya_here Turn on notifications for the podcast & rate it a 5-star for new episodes.

Pandora Papers: the 'legal' way to avoid taxes | Sidebean
Pandora Papers: the 'legal' way to avoid taxes Find out how we can help your company ► https://slidebean.com/youtube Check out Jake Tran's take on the Papers ► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKvq0MNr7sw #startups #Slidebean #fundraising 0:00 Pandora Papers - Intro 0:56 Pandora Papers - What are the Pandora Papers? 3:08 Pandora Papers - Why do tax havens exist? 5:34 Pandora Papers - The thin gray line 14:06 Pandora Papers - What is going to happen next? We don't know precisely when the ICIJ began to get the info that led to many investigations. But we do know that it's been happening since 2013, at least. They ‘followed the money’. This phrase gained popularity after the Watergate scandal. But tracking money has been vital for uncovering who's behind the shadiest business in the world since long before Nixon. The problem is that power, greed, and corruption can sweep even the deepest trail. For decades, journalists have dedicated countless hours to "following the money." One important player is the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ). This is a global organization that gets a lot of info from a lot of people. They even have a "leak to us" tab on their home page. The ICIJ is behind some of the most important investigations. They've released the Mauritius Leaks, China Cables, Panama Papers, and the Pandora Papers. This latest leak is the biggest in history. 11.9 million documents, totaling almost 3 TB of information, tell the story of how the rich hide their wealth, avoid paying taxes, and, yes, launder money. The Pandora Papers investigation required the work of 600 journalists from 117 countries. They went through the records of 14 offshore service providers. What came out has devastating implications. But, what's worse, is that the problem might be too complicated to solve. Let's think of it as a parallel secret financial world where the rich and powerful safeguard their wealth. One way to do so is through offshore accounts. These are outside the country that generates the money, in countries with low or no corporate tax. But, then, they create a network of corporations so complex that it's almost impossible to keep track. Until there's a leak, of course. Who does this? Big names. The Pandora Papers include 35 current and former Heads of State, 300 politicians, and many celebrities from more than 90 countries. If you want to know more about the people involved, check out Jake Tran's killer video on the topic. As for Slidebean, I wanted to talk about how tax havens and how they work. You see, offshore companies and tax havens aren't necessarily illegal or wrong. But they can be. The key is how people use them. -- Follow Caya: https://twitter.com/cayahere https://instagram.com/caya_here Turn on notifications for the podcast & rate it a 5-star for new episodes.

We help startups present to investors! ► https://youtube.slidebean.com/Inbox #startups #Slidebean #Google This one kind of hurts. I liked Google Inbox. Many people did, and most reviews were positive to prove it. There was also a general outcry when it shut down. It almost got me to enjoy email altogether. And then, of course, Google turned it off. Back to square one, to traditional and burdensome email. If you think the Gmail app is friendly enough these days, just know that it is largely thanks to Inbox. Features like snoozing messages, auto-generated bundles, or the somewhat creepy but helpful suggestions of smart replies; were first implemented on the Inbox app. And, somehow, they felt more organic and fresher than now on Gmail. So, let's remember yet another addition to Google's prolific list of deceased projects and companies. One that was good and ultimately got sacrificed to make Gmail what it is today.
