Hi,
I wonder why so many people today are saying that you should start with content marketing and build an audience first, and that you will find an info product later on when you have an audience telling you what they want.
That sounds like it's wrong. I mean, content marketing takes a long time. Why not just try to make an info product and sell it immediately via ads? If it works, one could use content marketing to increase sales later on.
But most people say that content marketing is the fire and ads are the fire accelerant after you produce loads of content and make a product.
A couple of days ago, I finished a book where the author (who, to be fair, made a lot of money with info products) basically said that being dependent on ads and spending money on them sounds like a nightmare to him. He is much happier with producing content every day, which he has already done for more than a decade.
I don't know. A content treadmill sounds worse than running ads for info products, at least to me – because ads can run automatically once you've set them up.
As I said, I don't really get it. What's your opinion on that?
Thanks a lot.
