10 Of The Best Podcasts For Mastering Marketing

Marketing is one of those things in life that can be a mystery if you don’t dive deep. Even the self-portrayed marketing gurus do not know an ounce of marketing. People think marketing is about putting in money somewhere and seeing people come to your website or application in droves. If this was true then everybody would be successful.

I would actually like you to do an experiment on Facebook marketing and see how that works for you. By the time you get the hang of it, it will take a lot of time. It’s a guarantee.

Why is marketing hard? Let’s rephrase that. Why is marketing challenging?

Marketing is challenging because it’s constantly changing. That’s the truth.

Platforms of marketing change, the rules are changed by companies who see a better profitability in that change. Things are always changing & If you stop marketing for 3 to 4 months, things would have changed.

Here is an example from Brian Balfour’s (VP of Growth at Hubspot) presentation and here is an Image he shared. In this image, you can see the effectiveness of a particular channel over the years. Look at Facebook – In 2013, the effectiveness of a promotion on Facebook was the highest and it has just plummeted since then. People change, platforms change, what you’ve learnt about marketing has changed.

I Prefer where the topic of a podcast is pre-decided and there are two hosts, instead of an Interview. In an Interview, the content isn’t decided and a lot of it can be useless chit-chat or problems that you don’t want to hear.

There are two hosts to this show Dawn Marrs-Ottiz and Traci Reuter and as they have a specific agenda of what they want to talk about, there aren’t any unnecessary conversations. They also have their opinions and it’s more of a discussion. This means they give you multiple suggestions just with one discussion. It’s clear from their podcasts that they are abreast with the latest in marketing.

With podcasts like this, it’s good to consume and learn about new strategies, but if you are not creating, then you aren’t truly learning. When you execute the tips and see how good it was, then you’ll realize what are the right podcasts for you.

    I have loved the one from Copyblogger. Thanks for the nice share about marketing. Marketing is a never ending process. Marketing leads to sell and if there is no effective marketing, you will have to be very strong in SEO to get results for your online business.
