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

I’m involved with three agencies in Sydney:
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.
(Apologies to readers outside Australia – the following applies to local politics) The upcoming Australian Federal Election is going to be so, so interesting. If the recent local election – we’re in Willoughby (part of Sydney in NSW) – is any guide the swing away from major parties is surprisingly high. It looks as though Liberals will just hold on, but only after a...
We’re back after a nice break. Episode 270 is our first for 2022 and focuses on efficiency and effectiveness with HubSpot. Ian and I chat through a bunch of tips and topics including: Thoughts for 2022Having perspective and avoiding distractionEfficiency and Effectiveness with HubSpotUsing Version history on pages and emails to roll back to previous versionsAttribution reporting in...

I’m so glad Ricky Gervais broke his 2 season rule and gave us the gift of season 3 of After Life.

Lots of wisdom.

Lately, there’s talk of replacing the term with the phrase ‘perspective taking’. I like this. I think it’s helpful. Yes, it has its...
I loved this tweet: Bought a ‘Get Better Soon’ card for a colleague. Not sick, just think they can do better.— Emergency&BushfireKits (@EmergencyBK) December 26, 2021 In case the embed code ever stops working, here’s the text of the tweet: “Bought a ‘Get Better Soon’ card for a colleague.

Interesting to see the trends in CMS usage over the years: WordPress of course is the dominant player, but check out the growth from Shopify. Also interesting to see Squarespace rising into 4th position alongside Wix. Looking at Squarespace’s recent S1 filing highlights they have 3.7M unique subscribers. HubSpot (down at position 18) must be looking at this and seeing a whole world...
