Oh boy was this a treat for me. And I reckon it’ll be a treat for you too because today’s guest can only be described as a Superhero in the world of feel-good marketing. Yeah. That’s a thing. And when you hear Tad Hargrave from Marketing for Hippies talk about finding your niche, building a reputation and communicating what you do… I think he can really change the mind of even most marketing-allergic creative introvert out there.
What we discussed:
- Slow Marketing
- The importance of reputation
- Having a lot of different interests and still build a solid brand
- Experimenting to find your niche
- Charging what your work is worth (and how to feel good about it)
- Lack of confidence vs. lack of competence
- What if one day I decide to call myself the uncreative extrovert?!
