That start-ups and established organizations alike have bought into the misguided idea that they need to become "famous on the internet" just to make a few sales.If you're having trouble finding your way, the problem isn't you. The problem is what you've been made to believe it takes to succeed.This book is for any marketer, business owner, coach, or entrepreneur who wants an easier way to make more money, help more people, and have more freedom by avoiding wasted time and resources on dead-ends and ineffective methods.Specifically, you'll learn how to:,
*Build trust in business relationships through community, specificity, and familiarity.,
*Apply the four-step content creation framework designed for business owners, not influencers, to get more customers (because likes don't pay the bills).,
*Improve profitability by cutting out the work not worth doing. Algorithms change, humans don't.No matter who you are and no matter what you sell, your customer is a human. And yet, marketing these days feels so (in)human.Filled with frameworks, entertaining stories, and admittedly bad-Dad jokes, The Obvious Choice is a much-needed recalibration and, at times, a refreshing slap for a business generation that's lost its way. Buy this book to learn how to earn more and compete less in this much-needed approach to success in a crowded marketplace.
