Eric Siu and a co-host trace their early digital marketing work through SEO, affiliate marketing, and social platforms like Digg and Reddit. They share how Neil used a separate computer just to follow people on Twitter, a tactic from the early days of building an audience online.
You learned quite a bit in affiliate. What was the next thing that you ended up learning?
Actually, I started with SEO first.
SEO first, then affiliate?
Then affiliate, yeah.
Yeah, mine was SEO first, then social media marketing.
Really? Yeah.
Digg, Reddit. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're pretty good at Digg. Yeah, I was really good at Digg back in the day. You're known for Digg.
I had like a top 10 user account.
Yeah, I mean, back in the day too. So when I used to visit Neil's place, this is like 13 years ago in Seattle, Neil would have a separate computer just for following people on Twitter.
Yeah, that worked really well.
Social media did really well back in the day.
