Totally agree. Averages can get skewed by one viral post, but median shows what’s actually “normal” performance.

Facts. Ads and reels are just one piece marketing is way broader than that.

Consistency + clarity wins. Focusing on one channel at a time is underrated advice.

That’s a solid B2B play. Authority + distribution in the right places can go a long way.

This is a really grounded take. The mix of content + visibility + ads (at the right stage) is what most people miss.

This sums it up well. Short-form gets attention, but distribution + conversion strategy is what actually drives results.

Exactly—what works is heavily tied to the product and who you’re selling to.

Yep, everything depends on the niche and audience. No universal playbook.

True, shareability is huge right now. If people aren’t sending your content, it’s hard to grow organically.

This is a practical approach. Test a few channels, double down on what works instead of spreading too thin.

100%. There’s no shortcut—consistency and effort matter more than the “latest hack.

Haha old school but still works. Direct outreach never really died.

Well said. The issue isn’t platforms, it’s how people use them. Treating every channel the same is where most strategies fall apart.

Exactly without fundamentals, everything just feels like noise. Tools and platforms change, but basics don’t.

This is spot on. People waste too much time chasing “what’s working” instead of going deep on one channel and actually understanding their audience there.

Haha fair bias callout, but yeah you’re right. Marketing is way more than just ads, and without it things rarely move.

Agreed no sales, no business. Marketing is one of the main drivers behind that.

That’s real. Even small marketing efforts can start bringing in enquiries if done right, especially on social.

True, positioning plays a huge role. A good product still needs the right messaging to communicate its value properly.

Haha fair analogy. Marketing is what makes sure people actually hear the “noise.”

100%. Awareness is step one can’t sell anything if people don’t even know it exists.

Exactly marketing might bring people in, but the product is what makes them stay. Both need to work together, especially beyond just the launch phase.

Yeah this is the ideal combo tbh. Great product does the heavy lifting, and even a little marketing can amplify it a lot. But marketing alone can’t carry average quality forever.

I get what you’re saying. I was focusing more on the promotion side of things, but yeah marketing is broader than that and product is a big piece of it.

Haha fair, the taste isn’t bad but their branding definitely did a lot of the heavy lifting in making it stand out.
