A wonderful article from @coreygwin, I'd recommend a read!
Makers + Marketing
I think this misconception of marketing is common for us maker types. We're awesome at finding problems and building and designing solutions for them. In fact, we're incredibly good at building impressively stellar products. Unique. Eye-catching. Technically impressive.
Unfortunately, we're also really good at convincing ourselves others will want it. It solves a problem. How could they not want it?
Sadly, "If you build it, they will come," isn't how it works.
Great article, thanks for sharing! I think the article made me think of marketing as more of channel for communication a tool to get real, honest feedback for products, whereas I used to maybe see it as more of a way for “messaging” and in some ways to paper over problems.
Haha I love that!
Thanks for sharing @rosiesherry! :)
Any suggestions for how I might improve my articles?
