1. Our Mission

Marketing Ideas is a free, curated knowledge base of actionable marketing tips from real practitioners. Our goal is to collect the most useful marketing advice shared across the web and organize it into a searchable, categorized resource for solo founders, indie hackers, and small business owners.

We believe good marketing advice shouldn't be locked behind expensive courses or agency retainers. Every tip on Marketing Ideas is accessible without login or payment.

2. How We Select Tips

Tips are sourced from publicly shared marketing advice on Twitter/X, Reddit, YouTube, blogs, podcasts, and conference talks. We look for:

  • Practitioner origin — The advice comes from someone who has implemented it themselves, not just theorized about it.
  • Actionability — The tip describes a specific action a founder or marketer can take, not a vague principle.
  • Current relevance — The advice reflects current marketing best practices. Outdated or manipulative tactics are rejected.
  • Verifiability — Claims can be checked against industry consensus or reproducible results.

We reject tips that promote manipulative tactics, violate platform guidelines, or lack a credible source.

3. Quality Review Process

Every tip goes through a multi-step review before publication:

  1. Discovery — A tip is identified from a trusted source or community discussion.
  2. Verification — The advice is cross-referenced against industry-standard resources and practical experience.
  3. Formatting — The tip is rewritten for clarity while preserving the original insight. Jargon is simplified where possible.
  4. Metadata tagging — Each tip is tagged with category, difficulty level (beginner, intermediate, advanced), and expected impact.
  5. Source link — The originating platform and a link to the original post are recorded where available, so the underlying tip can be traced back to where it was first shared.
  6. Publication — The tip is published and included in the sitemap and relevant category pages.

4. Bylines & Sources

Every article on Marketing Ideas is written, rewritten, and edited by our own editorial team, and carries a byline that links to that editor's page. We do not present the original poster of a curated tip as the author of our writeup. Where a tip was inspired by a publicly shared post, we display:

  • The Marketing Ideas editor who wrote and curated the piece
  • The platform where the underlying tip was originally shared (when applicable)
  • A direct link to the original post or content (when available)

We do not republish third-party content verbatim and we do not claim ownership of the source material we link to. If you shared something publicly that inspired a tip and want it updated, credited differently, or removed, contact us at [email protected].

5. Update & Review Cadence

Marketing is a fast-moving field. To keep our content accurate:

  • New tips are added on an ongoing basis as quality advice is discovered.
  • Existing tips are reviewed periodically, especially after major platform changes or shifts in best practices.
  • Outdated tips are flagged and either updated to reflect current practices or removed if no longer applicable.

6. Correction Policy

If you spot an error, outdated advice, or misleading information on Marketing Ideas:

  • Email [email protected] with the tip URL and a description of the issue.
  • We review all correction requests and aim to respond within 7 days.
  • Confirmed errors are corrected promptly. Significant corrections are noted on the tip.

7. AI Usage Disclosure

Marketing Ideas uses AI tools in the following ways:

  • Formatting & structure — AI assists with formatting, structuring, and organizing tips for consistency (headings, lists, layout). AI does not draft, rewrite, or generate article body text.
  • Metadata generation — AI helps generate meta descriptions, key takeaways, and categorize content based on the tip's subject matter.

All article text is written or curated by human editors. AI does not replace editorial judgment. Every published piece is reviewed to ensure accuracy, relevance, and alignment with our quality standards.
