It is a while since I considered myself to be a professional marketer, but I am getting my confidence back now. The past 7 months took its toll on my mind.
Today I was sitting thinking about what it means to be a professional marketer, and really it is quite differrent to what most people might think.
A professional marketer needs to know how to cut through the noise and be seen.
A professional marketer needs to understand how to read signals that others don’t even know exist.
A professional marketer needs to be able to think from the perspective of others.
There is a lot of analysis and data collection……
Many people have no idea how to do any of those things and yet they believe that they can work online (and they can!).
What they can’t do is become a professional marketer in a few days or weeks…… yet that is often the expectation of people who join this industry.
Those expectations have been created and communicated in an industry that thrives on making false promises to generate sales.
It fosters a lack of trust.
Personally I think we should challenge those belief systems and methods. Sharing real information and providing a realistic view of what is involved in marketing allows people to stop feeling like a failure. It generates an environment built on learning and understanding that it takes time to build income online.
That is why I recommend starting with a simple plan that doesn’t cost a lot (or anything) to get started.
Learn to work on small goals initially so you can build experience without the risk of losing a lot of money.
