How to start?
- hard focus on one particular vertical in the range of markets you’ll sell to (you can broaden that later)
- build big audiences of buyers
- entertain them
- build teams around it
- create Standard Operating Procedures
Marketing at the times of coronavirus
- don’t freak out
- think how you can become a resource to your audience
- start having cool conversations outside “buy my stuff” them
- figure out how can u deploy this conversations – as content that builds your audience
Food for Thought
- These days it is not about content marketing – it is about conversational conversion.
- Stabilize, optimize, expand!
- You need to get front of people more than once.
- When you start a new business you want to go to target rich environment.
- Everything that you start is a hot mess.
- There are no failures – there is only next!
- The most important thing that you can do for your business is hire a mentor from the beginning.
