Google Ads is a black hole for bad marketing budgets.

Most people set up a campaign, throw in some keywords, let Google’s “smart” bidding run wild, and then wonder why they’re burning money with nothing to show for it. If you’ve ever felt like Google Ads is just a complicated money pit, you’re not alone.

If you’re posting B2B content, you’ve probably asked yourself: Should I focus on LinkedIn or Twitter/X?

A few years ago, the answer might have been both. But in 2024, the platforms aren’t playing the same game anymore. One is still a B2B powerhouse, and the other? Well, let’s just say your audience might not be there anymore.

Here’s the breakdown.

Most content strategies fail because they take too much effort for too little return.

Marketers spend hours brainstorming blog topics, recording videos, and writing posts—only to get zero traction. The problem? They’re creating content like it’s 2015: slow, scattered, and not built for scale.

If you want to build an organic content engine that actually works without wasting time, here’s how.

Every week, there’s a new AI tool promising to revolutionize marketing. Write blog posts in seconds. Generate ad copy that converts instantly. Automate everything.

Sounds great—except most of it is hype.

The truth? AI can save time, improve workflows, and make marketing more efficient. But it’s not a magic wand. Here’s what’s actually worth using—and what’s just noise.

If you’re still trying to “hack” social media algorithms, you’re wasting your time.

Every platform—LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter/X—keeps changing the rules to make sure organic reach is unpredictable and paid ads are unavoidable. The game in 2025? Understand how algorithms actually work, so you stop chasing trends and start getting results.

Every industry has gurus, but marketing? It’s overrun with them.

You’ve seen them—self-proclaimed “experts” pushing courses, frameworks, and LinkedIn hot takes like they’ve cracked the code to unlimited leads and viral growth. But are they actually legit, or just selling recycled advice in a shinier package?

Here’s how to tell the difference.

Billboards are a flex, not a strategy.

Companies drop thousands—sometimes millions—on massive roadside ads, thinking they’re making an impact. But let’s be real: who actually remembers a billboard they saw on the highway?

If you’re spending serious marketing dollars on billboards, here’s why you might be throwing money into traffic with zero return.

Marketing isn’t just about clever ads and brand positioning—it’s about understanding human behavior at scale. And if you get economics, you already have a huge advantage.

Supply and demand, incentives, pricing strategy, market competition—it’s all marketing. If you don’t get how money moves, how people make buying decisions, and what creates value, you’re just throwing tactics at a wall and hoping something sticks.

Marketers love to think customers are price-sensitive. That people spend hours comparison shopping, looking for the absolute best deal.

They’re not.

Sure, price matters—but it’s rarely the deciding factor. If it were, Amazon wouldn’t dominate retail while charging more than its competitors for the same products.

People pay for convenience, speed, and ease. And if your marketing strategy is built around being “the cheapest,” you’re playing the wrong game.

Most CEOs don’t get marketing.

They think it’s ads, logos, and social media—something the marketing team does “to support sales.” They want leads now, don’t see the value of brand building, and ask why you can’t just “make it go viral.”

Frustrating? Yes. But it’s not their job to understand marketing. It’s your job to make sure they do.

Remember when Facebook was a goldmine for organic reach? When ads were cheap, engagement was real, and you didn’t have to fight an algorithm designed to squeeze every dollar out of you?

Yeah, those days are gone.
