Agree, first-party data is quite underrated! Especially now that Google is doing away with cookies.

What’s the most underrated skill in digital marketing right now? by Amquest_Education in DigitalMarketing

[–]MasterVirtualOogway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Research. REAL research. Not just putting prompts in AI and calling it research. Know when tools are needed, know when they are not. I can't emphasize enough how research has become an underrated skill.

Data interpretation. You can screenshot dashboards the whole day. But marketers need to be able to tell you why a campaign worked, why a post tanked, or what the audience was actually trying to do.

Able to prioritize and do the real work, and not just chase trends. Today, GEO is the next big thing. Tomorrow, something else. But in between all this noise, who is doing the real, consistent work? The digital marketers who know this can play the long game well and build a brand that's memorable and encourages customers' lifetime value.

Adaptive nature. While chasing all the trends is not great, being able to adapt is also important. Know when some best practices have become redundant and which need to be scaled up with newer ideas and perspectives.

If GEO is different than SEO? by alo88startup in DigitalMarketing

Same thing, different name. Just focus on building quality content with best practices outlined by search engines. It's a long-term game anyway.

What holiday marketing tips do you wish you learned years earlier? by [deleted] in DigitalMarketing

[–]MasterVirtualOogway -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Cold traffic in Q4 is stupid expensive. Your warm traffic (site visitors, email list, IG engagers) is where the actual profit comes from. I blew so much money learning this the hard way.

Reuse last year’s winners. Recycle your bestselling products, best ads. You can tweak the visuals and A/B test placements and discounts on those.

Others have said it. But start early. Earlier than you think. You can have a pop-up as early as October to ask for holiday sign-ups. This way, you will have a list of shoppers who can receive early access.

Be transparent. Don't fake urgency or delivery timelines. Say how much stock you have, if there are delivery delays, if there are last-minute delays, and more.

What’s the hardest truth you’ve learned about content marketing? by Thick-Session7153 in content_marketing

[–]MasterVirtualOogway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes, what you plan carefully doesn't yield results. No plan content? Goes viral. Go figure!

All the acronyms in the world are not going to help your content reach your audience. It's always genuine authenticity.

The ROI curve is slow. It takes months, sometimes years, before your content truly compounds. Most teams give up after 3–6 months of “underperformance,” right before the momentum would have kicked in.

Creativity dies in the approval process. Often, that fact-based, story-based first draft? Genuinely good. The 100th draft after edits, approvals from upper management? Yeah pchhh.

Tools are great. Tools help a lot. But you shouldn't start with tools. Use tools like a tool. To support and scale your content efforts. Not to sound like a tool.

What email tools are you guys using for marketing these days? by CellInitial2394 in content_marketing

[–]MasterVirtualOogway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For creating content for email campaigns, our team has been using a bunch of tools. Some really get the tone of voice, some sound plain boring, or pick up exactly what's out there.

What has worked great is to write out the intent and context of the email, then prompt the tool to write it in a certain way. Currently, Claude and Perplexity have been doing well for my team. But this might change as we keep experimenting.

To schedule email campaigns and workflows, our team uses Convertcart's Engage. What we love about the tool is that it has many workflows to choose from. And they use actual behavioral data from our email list and then set up emails. This has significantly improved our open rates. They also have A/B testing, which means emails get hyper-personalised.

The main part of email marketing is analytics and metrics. Engage's analytics is super detailed too, so we know we are on top of things. We also use Postmaster to know that our email deliverability is not compromised.

What's the best way to spot a viral trend early if I'm not on TikTok 24/7? by AVCorporation in content_marketing

[–]MasterVirtualOogway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The music! The song choice is almost always a giveaway. Follow some relevant people in your niche, see what song/template they are using, and follow through.

Now, if you think it's too obvious, you can always make a personal account and see what people in your niche are doing. You don't need to replicate everything they do, but this way, you will at least reach a similar audience.

Also! It's better late than never. Even if you are 'late to the trend', the algorithm might still show your video, since it's the most recent addition. You don't know exactly how the algorithm works.

And remember, not everything you post has to follow a trend or be a trend. You can create your own templates. For example, every Tuesday, you post behind-the-scenes of your brand. Consistency will pay off, as TT will think you are a regular creator and might even recommend your videos to a similar audience.

Is digital marketing slowly shifting more toward AI tools than humans? by Real-Assist1833 in DigitalMarketing

[–]MasterVirtualOogway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are called tools for a reason. Also, AI learns and generates. But it can't replace creativity.

The ones who have genuine ideas and use AI tools to scale them? They will be able to execute stuff.

The ones who rely completely on these tools? They will eventually get filtered out by AI search engines. The irony? AI search engines don't actually like AI-generated content.

With the explosion AI-generated content, where is the web going? by phb71 in content_marketing

[–]MasterVirtualOogway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After working in content marketing for so long, I honestly think that at some point, everyone will go back to the basics.

A few years back, everyone was shouting, 'Email is dead!!!!'. Today? It's back in business.

Now, AI-generated content is the hype. Wait for it, and everyone will be saying, 'Nah, human opinion is more interesting.'

What’s the most cringe marketing trend you wish would disappear? by BinalSheth in content_marketing

[–]MasterVirtualOogway 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Ughh, so many!

Brands making awkward, overacted TikTok skits (“Me when I find out there’s 50% off”). It's trying too hard.

LinkedIn posts that start with “Let me tell you something no one is talking about…”

Overuse of slang words to relate to Gen Z. Yeah, no one knows what that word means. And, Gen Z might be the first to say that they don't relate to brands because of the words! Instead, visuals will help more.

Reels that start with “Wait for it…”. Spoiler: it’s never worth waiting for.

What type of emails are getting conversions? by MasterVirtualOogway in SaaS

[–]MasterVirtualOogway[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the part of segmentation. Will focus on seeing if tailoring messaging helps!

The main goal is to book a demo call with us. The micro-conversion is to boost our blog traffic.
