How much are marketers underpaid? About 20%. That’s a lot of money, given that the survey finds marketers in the U.S. average $108,380 per year, which is 3% less than the previous year.

Others qualify their replies with “It depends.” Let’s explore the nuances behind those answers. (If you’re already sold...
  • 7 Kinds of Insurance Every Content Entrepreneur Should Consider
    12 Aug—The Tilt
    Insurance went to the top of my mind this past week. A tornado went through the area where several Tilt team members live (everybody is safe and OK). But I’ve had many conversations about what insurance covers and what it doesn’t. It got me thinking – insurance is one of the last things on a content entrepreneur’s to-do list (if it makes the list at all). It’s something you realize you should have acquired after you need it. A massive tech disruption, like the recent CrowdStrike attack that...
