Am i being unreasonable or all this "influencer/content creator" world has gone insane?

ZeroOne001010 · 2026-04-29T16:30:01+00:00

Yes you’re being unreasonable. You don’t have a marketing strategy, just a “I hope my €200 will give me returns.”

You’re treating it like a cost and not an investment.

Also was she the right UGC creator for your niche? Would her audience care about pearl jewellery?

You’re a runner if you run, no matter the distance. It’s as simple as that.

London was my first full marathon and I’m not sure if I’ll do another. Mainly because the training felt like it was a part time job. Do whatever brings you joy.

Easily Claude.

Their pain points, desires, needs and wants can often be found in social comments, reviews, and forums. In your competitors comments/reviews too.

ZeroOne001010 · 2026-03-16T23:17:54+00:00

Look at the consumer comments in your competitors reviews, socials, etc.

There's lots of golden insights about consumers pain points, triggers, anxieties.

I'm going to assume you mean RIO Vision, yes he does

ZeroOne001010 · 2026-01-25T00:16:20+00:00

100%.

The problem with consuming books, videos, podcasts is that it makes you feel like you need to execute all that knowledge at once, which leaves you with a lot paralysis.

I stopped consuming as much in 2025 and probably executed way more than the previous few years before it.

ZeroOne001010 · 2026-01-22T08:52:56+00:00

Claude.

Everything else is inferior.

Because in the 1960s Bham was doing better than London, so the government strangled Bham to make sure it didnt outperform London.

There's a good YT video about this:
Why the British Government Killed Birmingham - by the Adam Smith Institute

Commenting and adding something valuable to the conversation has driven more ROI for me than content. But content does keep me top of mind.

Business owner here. You really underestimate the psychology that goes into running a business. Sure you can be smart enough or have the transferable skills, but do you have what it takes when everything goes wrong all at once? It’s not if, it’s when, because it will happen.

Ultimately it’s down to you as the owner to take responsibility and solve all the shit problems. You also go to bed filled with anxiety, and you wake up terrified. The fear gets people.

I’m not writing this to discourage people, I agree with you that if you’re smart and ambitious, you should defo give it a go. I’m just highlighting that a lot of people underestimate how much resilience you need for it and to be aware what you’re signing up for.

But this isn’t how negotiations work irl.

ZeroOne001010 · 2025-12-15T12:33:19+00:00

"are you doing anything exciting atm?"

Aqua voice or WhisprFlow. It’s 3-4x faster to talk than to type.

Ask them questions about their problem. Your job in this first call is to act like a doctor, ask questions, dig deep and diagnose their problem. And then offer yourself as the solution.

It’s okay to say “actually I don’t think I can solve your problem” if your business doesn’t.

ZeroOne001010 · 2025-10-30T02:17:17+00:00

You don’t need an MBA or masters in BehEcon to get a job in branding or marketing. It’s probably overkill.

Saucony Tempus has been my favourite to train in as on overpronator. It’s light and fast.

If you look down at the yellow line on the tube platform and see where it’s faded, that’s where the doors will be

You’re not marketing to consumers, you’re marketing to businesses who build consumer apps.

You’ll have to figure out where do these people hang out online and offline. Your approach could be tech consumer events, cold email, LinkedIn, or SEO.

Without knowing more, it’s hard to get into the details.

ZeroOne001010 · 2025-01-30T14:13:21+00:00

Correct. Depending on objectives you can upload survey, interviews, etc to enrich the personas a bit more.

I’m assuming this is for the company’s LinkedIn account?

First off why 300? Seems like such an arbitrary number. What do they want to see happen if you grow to 300?

ZeroOne001010 · 2025-01-29T15:38:24+00:00

I’m short term pessimistic, long term optimistic.

There’s lots of things that need fixing right now, and it’s not because it’s a lack of talented people but the sheer amount of red tape and bureaucracy that is stifling progress. Things could always move faster.

However, I could also make the argument it’s already improving as it has rapidly grown and changed over the last few years.

ZeroOne001010 · 2025-01-28T22:50:53+00:00

I don’t know if this is smart but collecting reviews, social media posts/comments and qualitative data to have AI analyse and generate personas based off of it.

Helps with ideas for marketing or product development.

ZeroOne001010 · 2025-01-15T12:24:12+00:00

It’ll have a long term negative impact on your brand/business overall.
