MARKETING IS HARD. IT IS NOT FOR THE FAINT-HEARTED

In 2006, I said “I hate marketing”. From 2010 to date, I have read books, attended courses, watched a lot of videos, followed experts and practiced every single day how to become a better marketer. I market for a living now AND IT IS NOT EASY AT ALL. 😭 😢 😮‍💨

I have stopped judging anyone who says they can’t market or they don’t know how to market. MARKETING IS HARD !!!

You will create a seemingly WANTED product or service. MANY PEOPLE will call, ask, and show interest. MANY MORE PEOPLE will like the message when they see it on your status or social media… THEN ONLY 1 or 2 WILL GO ON TO BUY.

Allah sarki… this life no balance at all.

“How do you manage to keep your motivation going?” People ask me. Well, maybe the following points can help:

1. I tell myself “my options are limited”. I run a company. I pay operational bills. I pay wages. I pay tax. I pay daily overheads. And I have a family. The alternative I have is to get a job. I have not been an employee for 12 years now. I have 2 options: sell my market or get a job. Daily, I choose the first option.

2. I know more people. I am an introvert. My natural habitat is my bedroom and my private space. But, 😂, I no wan ment. So, I psyche myself to meet people and know more people as often as possible. The more people I know, who know me, the higher the chances I can sell more numbers. It is a natural logic of marketing: THE MORE PEOPLE WHO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE SELLING, THE MORE YOU WILL SELL.

3. Accept that you need to learn Marketing. In 2006, I hated marketing. I said it everywhere. But when the chips were down, I had to embrace my ignorance and embark on the journey of learning marketing. Today, I am personally convinced I am a super marketer. I know that. So, I created a course called DISRUPTIVE MARKETING STRATEGY CLINIC (DMSC) that is so so so powerful. A loaded 5-day track course. You can get this as part of CCMOC or as a standalone. For CCMOC option, follow the link in (2) above. For standalone, go to https://samobafemi.com/product/the-disruptive-marketing-course/

Marketing is hard. I won’t lie. But if you don’t have much options like me, let’s fix it.
