Bad Marketers Have Shiny Object Syndrome
Benji HyamMar 28
I’ve noticed something funny about marketers. Most of them have what I like to call “shiny object syndrome.” They get an idea, test it, and before they’ve given it enough time to work, they hear of another idea, and decide to test that instead. The cycle repeats. Instead of ending …

I wouldn't recommend founders to run ads themselves.

Learn the basics so you understand what you’re talking about.

Then hire a specialist to do it for you.

Elon thinks he’s leveling the playing field by removing blue verification checks. What he’s really doing is alienating the people who drive the most engagement on Twitter: Famous people.

People use Twitter because they know @elonmusk is actually Elon Musk.

This is a RISKY move.

There's a clear relationship between the amount of work you put in and the efficacy of your marketing.

Good marketing (the type you don't mind) requires dedication.

Bad marketing (the type you complain about) is often the result of taking shortcuts.

Also funny because most milk alternative products are horrible for you.
