Marketing AdviceBeware the advice of a clean-handed gardenerThis Headline is a quote from a clever marketer called John Carlton, about the dubious benefit of unsolicited advice.And anyone that runs a business (especially a tech business) has had a gutful of that, as you%u2019ll get peppered with advice on how to run your business AND how to develop your product or service.And it%u2019s easy to be swayed by such advice, especially when it%u2019s delivered with confidence.But here%u2019s what you must ask yourself:Do I have reason to trust what this person is telling me?Also: Do they have any experience in this area? Are they talking about a problem they%u2019ve tackled themselves? Have they ever run their own business?This is important, as advice is everywhere - from friends, relatives, and other business owners - but also out in social media land.Frankly, it%u2019s difficult to get through the day without getting advice on some aspect of your business.Sadly, much of this comes from people whose love for their own voice comes above any discernible talent or experience. And their advice is often divorced from the reality of how things actually work.So, you%u2019d be forgiven for wondering - particularly if you%u2019re contemplating an investment in marketing like social media, a new website or Google ads, what does Mike know, exactly?Good question. And here%u2019s my answer:What I know about - and what I can help you with %u2013 is how to market your business effectively. How to build your brand and reach people, so they get to know you, trust you, like you and %u2013 ultimately - buy from you.I%u2019ve worked in advertising and marketing for thirty years. Some of my work was with huge organisations like EMAP and DMGT (Daily Mail).But, more pertinently for you, I%u2019ve made entrepreneurs richer and happier by helping them sell more to more people.I%u2019ve made mistakes along the way, sure. But I%u2019ve learnt from every single one. I got up, dusted myself down, and got back in the fight.So, you can be certain that the advice I reveal comes from someone with the dirtiest of marketing hands.So why not invite me into your marketing meetings?
