Successful Self-Promotion: The Factors
Goal(s): What are you trying to achieve.
Horizon: What's the time frame for success.
Investment: How much time and/or money will you need to put in.
ROI: Look at how the level of effort compares to the perceived level of impact.
Capabilities: What skills or technology do you need.
The best approach is often a strategic blend of two archetypes tailored to your concept or need.

A Recognizable Campaign
Focus on a signature achievement, recognizable expertise, or persona - and then market the heck out of it for years.
Examples:
- Recognizable campaigns such as "Don't Hate Me Because I'm Beautiful"
- Powerful speeches such as Eva Galperin given at TedWomen
- Breakthrough point of view such as best-selling Atomic Habits by James Clear

The Stunt
Advertising people know the power of the marketing stunt, a PR-worthy activity that captures the spirit of what your brand is all about or puts an exclamation point on the promise you want to make.
This is right out of an ad agency playbook but applied to individuals: Do what others haven’t. Be the first. Or the biggest Y.

The Team
Don’t go it alone. Instead, team up with folks who are complementary and collaborative. It could also be an individual, a trio, or a village that works together. It can be more fun than going solo. It’s also far more rare.
Examples: The Holderness Family’s Wordle videos, Unf_nish_d Biz, The Fearless Brands community, Rising

Mailing list/CRM: Mailchimp
eCommerce: Gumroad

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
