Hey, good to find you on here. I've been impressed by the way you've managed to promote Buffer - you've certainly worked hard on it. It seems like you've also gotten good at writing promotional copy, especially since English isn't your native language.
Anyway, personally, whenever I hear a marketing 2.0-type person talk about "relationships" and "conversations", I feel like there's a bit of dishonesty going on. The truth is the marketer has something to sell, that's their real priority, and there's nothing wrong with that. But again, just my opinion. Would love to hear your views...
- LeonW 16y agoIsaac, good to see you here too. Thanks for the kind words, yep I really try my best to spread the word about Buffer. You are absolutely right I think, there is always a bad ring to it when you hear that. And I tried to state clearly that my intention of course is to drive traffic. Yet, I also don't want to deny the fact that you meet a lot of great people and have great chats, which genuinely turn out to be helpful. Maybe it really comes down to what you do about each and every situation. If you take the human element as serious as the traffic building part, it is a good combination. Not sure what you think about that, let me know :)
