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.

Welcome to our second monthly statistics roundup! Compared to last month, some of our numbers have gone up like the average amount of time people spend on the site and people subscribing to our mailing list. However some other numbers have gone down since the last time we made a roundup. But don’t worry, we’re still here!
Chris and Joel have a long backlog of questions to start working through stretching all the way back to April 9! We address the common concern of being ‘obnoxious’ when advertising or talking about your projects as well as some services to help with site analytics and distribution methods.
Chris and a slightly tipsy Joel discuss burnout (yes, again). It’s one of those topics that will probably keep coming up, so… that’s exciting. Also on the docket: French whiskey, the prospect of outsourcing this podcast, and what to do you when your Kickstarter doesn’t get funded.
Oh, we also announce an exciting new NARJ venture: the Not a Real Job Book Club!
Oz Hatke, creator of Düdle (the official party game of Not a Real Job) is here this week to chat about the game, the Kickstarter process, and really dirty martinis. Also, Düdle had an advert on MBMBaM, just like us! Go check it out.
This week’s show is sponsored by Proposify, which helps freelancers and agencies create, send and track better proposals helping you save hours off your proposal time and get faster sign-off in the browser.
B2B social media is the topic du jour on episode 36. Joel and Chris answer a question from a listener who sells a niche building material, and offer advice on the value of a social media presence, even if you aren’t selling directly to customers. We also discuss productivity apps for the thousandth time.
