Hiring a full-time marketer can take months of legwork with no guarantee of success. That’s why MarketerHire built a network of expert marketing professionals, pre-vetted by top marketers from brands like Glossier, Allbirds, Headspace and more. In as little as 48 hours, MarketerHire's team matches you with a hand-picked expert marketer who is aligned to your business goals and can drive real results. Their network is filled with marketers who have deep expertise in email marketing, social media ads, growth marketing, SEO and more — and they're available on-demand in hourly, part-time and full-time engagements. No retainers. No long-term contracts.

It works. A couple of months ago, I was talking to my friend FJ about his eCommerce business, and he told me that he’d brought on a part-time marketer who was doing an amazing job. I asked if he used MarketerHire. He laughed, confused, and said yes. No joke, that’s a real story.

The best part? There’s no risk. You don’t sign or pay anything unless you choose to work with someone. Plus, MarketerHire is offering a $500 credit for any Not Boring reader who signs a contract before 12/15/20.

Last month, I wrote that Software is Eating the Markets. Today, I’m exploring Remote Work, about which two things are true:

  1. We talk about it a lot already.
  2. Its potential impact is deeply underappreciated.

Remote Work will change everything.

Now let’s get to it.

We’re Never Going Back

Admit it. When you first heard the news about the 90-95% effective vaccines, out loud you said:

“Oh that’s wonderful! Think of all the lives saved!”

While inside you were like:
