Same here. Its fairly common in the north east of England and parts of Scotland to be known by your nickname.
Both my sons have a couple of nicknames each, which come out depending on the situation. They're 3 & 6 now and are both called wee man by way of greeting.
The youngest is now getting called Mac because his nickname is MacMonkey McBean. Names evolve over time.
Great book, I'm on my third audiobook listen and use a number of the lessons from it most days.
In regards to the article, it's great content, but the thing that has bugged me for years about important information that will improve personal, work, leadership/subordinate relationships is, the people that really need to read them, never do...
Do let me know the changes I can make so that it doesn't sound like that. Also do refer to my reply to another comment if you too have misunderstood what our startup is doing.
I believe their point is that it doesn't look like the text was written by a native English speaker -- there are spelling and grammatical errors.
For a business, having spelling or grammatical errors is sometimes seen as an early indicator that the business is a scam. There are a variety of reasons for this and it's not necessarily fair.
The practical fix in your case, which I'd strongly recommend if you can, would be to find someone to review the text and fix all grammar, spelling, and formatting issues.
edit:
Also, some of your phrasings could be a turn-off because they hint at information instead of revealing it. (They "play coy.") This behavior is associated with people over-selling, exaggerating, or hiding things.
Examples include:
"Acoto has everything and for everyone."
"We have limited spots and many excited users so don't get left behind."
People have seen excited sentences like this so many times, we're immune to them. In fact they often have the opposite effect. Instead of using excited copy, it's better to focus on your great idea and users will get excited all by themselves.
Got your point. Though I used grammarly app to fix the grammar and it is showing perfectly fine still I would try to fix that. Also did you liked the idea and implementation? Thanks for helping me out.
I don't know. I suppose the simplest thing way to put it is that I don't know who is the target audience.
My feeling is that the people who could use this are, basically, people who are trying to get their first job as a software developer. They don't have connections in the industry, and they're focused on interview prep.
But is that person really going to sign up for what sounds like fairly expensive one-on-one tutoring sessions? Many people in the industry will answer questions for free, if you just send them an email.
On the other hand, is this service for pros who want long-term career growth? If so, you can charge more but you need a much stronger selling point (e.g. mentors who are known experts that people will sign up for your service to talk to.)
Anyway, in either case I'm outside of the target audience because I'm not interested in mentorship as a service, I prefer to build friendships, mentors, and role models in "real life."
Thanks for such feedback will look into it.
Regarding mentorships we have asked many people regarding the problem they face and the they said is getting relevant advice from relevant people. Linkedin messaging has now become of no use. Thus, we built an ecosystem where you can engage and network with your peers. Practice interview and get actionable feedback and that too we track through points. If somehow you can undertand the gist of the platform. The one on one mentoring session is not at all expensive it is very much affordable according to our Indian standard. Also Yes, long term friendship and networking is the best way and that is why built acoto community. Anyway it was nice having conversation with you. Good luck mate.
