I pulled back the marketing curtain… AND THERE WAS NO WIZARD! 🧙♂️
That's right! Marketing is an industry overrun with “Tips, Tricks, Hacks, and Proprietary Systems” and it's all BS. These things can have tiny impacts on an overall marketing plan, but it's mostly snake oil.
So, now that I have called out the entire industry I have been in for the last few years what's my point? Isn’t marketing the lifeblood of businesses? ABSOLUTELY.
Here is one of the main problems. There are countless ways to market a business, but marketers only tell you about the options they can SELL YOU. The simple fact is, if you are unhappy with the amount of Time, Mental Energy, or Money that is going into your marketing, it's probably the wrong thing for you. Finding the methods that work for your industry, location, and personality are essential.
What are your thoughts on this? Have you ever been burned by a marketer who sold you what they offered even though it wasn't the right fit? Tell me in the comments! 👇
