common mistakes of a marketer

[WHAT]

1. ] http://blog.sqwiggle.com/common-mistakes-marketer/ - If nothing hits, you’re an idiot and that’s the unfortunate reality. When I started marketing for Sqwiggle, I had never done marketing before. I was a brand-new mind with a fresh slate of ideas and most of them were based on my incorrect assumptions of what I thought marketing was.

[WHY]

1. ] 

[WHERE]

1. ] Doing too many things at once
1. For some reason, it took me a while to realize this so in the onset, I wanted to do advertising and ebooks and commercials and blog writing and swag and blah and blah…
2. "There’s no way to actually master anything when you are doing everything"
2.  realizing what you’re good at is the most important piece of the puzzle.
1. ] scaling back your operation to just one thing until you are the best and then move onto the next thing. That’s really only way to see success. I think Buffer is a great example of this. Go check out their blog and you will without a doubt know what I’m talking about
3. ] Not sticking to my core competency
1. ] stick to the things that you know you can do well. Actually, things that you’re better than anyone else
2. ] The best way to build an audience is by providing something that is an extension of your unique personality, abilities and values.
4. ] Doing Meta work
1. ] Trivial or unnecessary work done to avoid having to perform the real task at hand while simultaneously taking the credit for it.” Source: Urban Dictionary
2. ] Everyone has done it, I think the key is to keep tabs on what you are doing throughout the day.
3. ]  “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?” Steve Jobs,
4. ] whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.”
