Hey new friend! Not a Real Job covers tech, marketing, philosophy, feminism, and much more. Every week so often Chris & Joel—longtime friends and collaborators—talk, joke, and ponder in your ears about the topics that have them excited/scared/laughing hysterically.

Hey NARJologists! As promised on the show a few weeks ago, we’ve decided to do a monthly roundup of key stats, expenses, and more.
This is our first of these roundups, and we probably won’t get it right. If there’s more you want to see, let us know, and we’ll include it next time!
We walk through the stats, and try to get some insights from them, in Episode 34, which is available now.
This week we give advice to Juicebox Bandits, a California-based rock band looking to level up their marketings. We do a brainstorm, talk about websites, and decide on “NARJologists” as our demonym of choice.
On this week’s show, Joel shares updates on his book‘s marketing, and we brainstorm ideas to help him share the book with new people. Then Chris shares a branding problem that will be familiar to many small businesses and service providers. Be sure to send in questions for next week too so we don’t have to keep talking about ourselves!
Oh yeah, we also get a bit grumpy about Saint Patrick’s Day. You’ve been warned.
Joel’s short story, No Greater Love Than This, has been released! Go buy it. I’ll wait.
Bought it? Good. This week, we discuss the story’s release and touch on some of the marketing that Joel has done. We also answer a listener question about SEM and SEO (that’s “search engine marketing” and “search engine optimization).
This week, we share the results of our second ad on MBMBaM, gush about the awesome fans who came to our NYC meetup, and look at Patreon, a service for helping artists make a living doing their thing. Will it work for you? Listen and find out…
Oh, by the way, it’s Wednesday! We’re going to try releasing the show on Wednesdays from now on. Can’t promise we’ll be consistent about it, but that’s the new goal, at least.
