What are the most common business or marketing myths that you would like to dispel? 😀

by•

I "love" these: When you are an entrepreneur, you have time and freedom. – No... when you really take care of your business and grow it, you work your 🍑 off 27/9. As a business owner you are rich. – Yes, you can be, but if you make money honestly and pay taxes as you should, then in some cases, taxes will take up to 50%—unless you've moved your business to a "low-tax" country. What else? 😀

“Social media is free marketing" is a myth. There is a huge cost in terms of time and effort to build an organic following that actually buys your stuff, so you should not see it as free. Sometimes, it makes a lot more sense to just do paid ads.

@nathancovey the irony is most folks have no cash to do paid ads, and no patience either to grow organically 💀

Not all social media platforms are created equal for every business. Choose the ones that align with your audience and marketing goals, rather than trying to be everywhere.

biggest mistake is doing stuff everyone does just going through motions like zombie - posting on Linkedin and so on

A large social media following or big networks ensures more earnings.

Totally agree that the 'social media is free' idea is a huge myth. Building real engagement takes serious time and energy. Organic reach has gotten way harder too with all the algorithm changes. Sometimes targeted ads are the most efficient way to get your message to the right people quickly. The key is figuring out the right mix of organic and paid for your specific biz and audience.

Yeah, that's true. We're in the same boat trying to market our product with no budget, and it's been tough. Social media might be "free," but the time and effort it takes to grow an audience and convert them into customers is a huge investment. Without funds for paid ads, it feels like we're stuck in slow motion!
