Hi, HN folks! The idea of Remote Friday came to me when I was thinking about the ultimate list of tools for remote work.
Then I thought, what if we can make not only a list of tools but partner with some of them to get discounts. Black Friday was approaching, making it a perfect occasion.
Overall, it took me a couple of months and hundreds of back and forth emails. As a result, we have over 50 amazing tools on the list. I'm excited to share it with you, and I hope you'll greatly benefit from it ;)
Well, it's a broad topic. However, it comes back to several main things:
1. Select a target keyword.
You select some and only keyword you'd like to rank a post for.
2. Mind the competition
Check on the competition for that keyword. Don't chase for the ones where you can't outrank competitors. I.e. we can't outrank Atlassian for agile project management, but we can go for less competitive keywords.
3. Compose a great piece of content about that keyword.
Then you write a great piece of content about it (See 10x content by Rand Fishkin). Put it in the title, URL and within the content.
We spent 500 hours to make a fantastic and super useful Slack Guide. Hopefully, this is the only guide on how to use Slack and FAQ you will need to supercharge your work.
