Why do all marketers have identical personal branding?

[Deleted member 1013995]

I search "SEO experts" on Youtube, and all the experts copy each other, there is no uniqueness neither in the messenger nor in the message.

Isn't this antithetical to what marketing is about?

I worked in marketing and advertising for 5 years and I'm really surprised that most people don't think marketing is total bullshit.Most of it is just smoke and mirrors for the client to make it look like you're doing more work than you are doing, or selling them some pointless strategy tool while dressing up useless busy work as doing something valuable.Generally, all you need to do is stick a dog into the content and people will go crazy for it and outside of that, don't you just think anyone who works in marketing just sounds like a total wanker?! They're all 'Im a strategist Yadda Yadda' or 'this is really on trend and will connect with your audience in an emotive manner' but it's all just bullshit and doesn't really mean anything. Maybe I've become disillusioned, who knows

It's because they are not experts in SEO. Being a SEO expert, nobody will tell you the truth.

Probably self proclaimed " experts" from third world countries trying to make a quick buck. Real SEO experts are making thousands every day from their own projects, if they were experts they would not need to sell their services for someone else.

 

[sparior]

Because there are almost same tricks and process in SEO.

 

[Project Limitless]

Because we're all closeted psychopaths.

 

[cantzme]

In a world where everyone is competing for attention, no one is taking time to be unique, it's all about how much crap I can post a day to be noticed.

One's baldness is actually directly correlated to how high he ranks on the SERPs.
I have not met one SEO expert who isn't bald. Coincidence?

But seriously,
I'd guess that the reason for that is that SEO experts are very analytical people, and those kinds of people aren't usually really specialised in the branding area. That would easily lead to very bland/unoriginal personal branding.

Every seo expert I meed is bald lol

Real marketing happens on BHW.

Ask jr execs and moderators how to do it.

It's about results.

Revenue.

Commissions.

Selling marketing is a different thing. And 1 in 10 times it will be someone able to bring results. Very rare but there are people like this on the forum. They rent you links and not sell them. You keep on renting cause IT WORKS.

They sell you infrastructure. Not ebooks.

They tell you how to do social media. They don't sell you ebooks on CD-rom to play for your wife. They just give you tools of real value with tips

If you don't want to get fcked in business, you do everything by yourself with machines and tools from trusted partners. Not ready biz solutions and super ads where one useless campaign costs $5000 off which $4000 goes to boss pocket - they're sneak oil.

If you want to run ads, run them on-site. Same with SEO. And once you can do it, you can start partnership with other people and be that real marketer in a small group of 10% of all marketers. The percentage is arbitrary but it's my feeling.

SEO basics are not that much up to interpretation, albeit they slightly change with time and SE updates, therefore the message is the same but in different packaging of the messenger. Marketing and SEO isn't the same thing.

I once said SEO is the same as marketing.

I was fired 2 days later.

Coincidence?

The company sucked.

Bunch of idiots.

I'm glad they fired me.

Never again SEO and marketing on 9-5.

Marketing is everything related to putting product and service on the market.

SEO is advertising method.

Well fundamentally they do have the same goal - to attract clients and make your product visible.

 

[alonelywriter]

You do what you do to attract as many clients. They copy because they think it might be working for him so I should copy. Easy.

What a racist dickhead. Like there weren't scammers and bullshitters in first world countries and honest workers in third world countries.
