I think there is a right way of doing PR, marketing, sales, growth, content, communication or whatever you want to call it.
It's like I know intuitively why something can and can't be done. But owing to my inexperience, I can't exactly articulate it adequately, which is frustrating.
I'll have to try.
The fiat internet has made a mess of what can be considered to be acceptable practices.
Things that nobody would ever do in real life are now acceptable online.
Growth hacks and aggressive shilling are taking precedence over building sustainable relationships with end users and customers. Users and customers have become numbers on an excel sheet that needs to keep going up no matter what.
Something doesn't *feel* right about excessive selling and aggressive marketing. This isn't necessarily a commentary on whether or not those practices work and deliver results.
I love small business owners and local restaurants here in Tirupur who make it a point to build a relationship with people who visit. I love visiting these places and buying from there.
As I am writing this, I can't think of a single internet company that has built a good product and marketed it by building real relationships with people. Considering that the kind of products internet companies build are less capital-intensive than a local retail shop, I can't really understand why this is the case. It feels very strange to think that expecting something like this is a very unrealistic proposition.
Something doesn't *feel* right is all I have right now.
