Use HubSpot Better

Hi, I’m Craig Bailey and this is my personal blog where I write about technology, business systems, HubSpot, marketing strategy and general life experiences. You can read my posts here.

I’m involved with two agencies in Sydney:

  • The first is XEN Systems. We help government departments and mid-large B2B technology companies with their sales and marketing strategy, including implementation and training in HubSpot 
  • The second is XEN Create. We provide premium graphic design services to companies, with a focus on using the latest AI tools, including Midjourney

I also co-host HubShots, the podcast and YouTube show focussed on getting the most out of HubSpot. We are the creators of the HubShots Framework.

2008 – the coming dot com crash

2

Many have referred to Greg Linden's prediction of a dot com crash this year. I agree that something is coming – the amount of money being thrown around is simply not sustainable. The TechCrunch deadpool will be getting bigger and bigger this year.

Internet filtering in Australia

I

An interesting decision by our new Australian Government to put in place mandatory opt-out filtering on Australian ISPs. Not that I particularly mind, since I've never really been worried about campaigning for free speech etc, etc, and I think protecting children from porn is probably a good idea. (Note: the filtering is only supposed to be to schools and houses – not businesses) But...
