You shared it without enough nuance, and that turned it into misleading information for most people out there. The fact that you wrote a lengthy piece and gave yourself a lot of credit as a marketer only further exacerbated the negative learnings for anyone who read your first piece. I am glad you received an immediate rebuttal, which leads me to hope that not too many young entrepreneurs were led to turn their back on what's arguably one of the most important marketing channels, and for many companies the only viable one.
- nolok 6y agoI disagree with your point but I want to answer one part in particular: > gave yourself a lot of credit as a marketer I in no way intended to do that. If I did, I apologize. I may be bad, or good, or decent, or terrible at it, I don't know. The point I was trying to make on that part of my original comment was simply: I do spend time on my campaign and A/B test difference, not as-in "I'm great", but as-in "I didn' just make my first campaign there in 5 minutes without trying to improve it or learn from my mistakes" because I think anecdotal evidences given from that point of view have no value at all. So again, sorry if that is indeed what can be understood in what I wrote because that would be egoistical and wrong, but I genuinely don't believe that's what I wrote.
- dylan604 6y agoI absolutely did not have the same reaction you had to their post. The very first sentence could be read as a broad brush statement, but the rest of the post makes it clear it was based on their personal experience. If that wasn't understood, then either the full post wasn't read or reading comprehension isn't as strong with some readers (ESL could factor).
