YOU DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT (MONDAY MOTIVATION)

Meet Ted, my imaginary character. Lately, Ted has been on a crossroad. He doesn't know what to do. He doesn't know what action to take. He has a couple of options before him and that makes it even more difficult for him to choose.

If you are like Ted, please come closer. Close your eyes. Open it. Choose one. Choose one and move on bikonu. No be every day you go dey look for a motivational speaker. I am not one.

If you like, you can stay in the middle of the road so that the traffic from opposite directions can finish you off. This time, you won't die finish. You will just die small. Later, you can decide to live or die at last. At least, you made a decision once in your life.

Okay bye!

I don't know if you know that 3% of a targeted audience buys products immediately after you advertise to them. As for the remaining 97%, you'll have to advise continuously again until they are interested in whatever you are selling.

However, some people still don't get it. Advertise continuously in a strategic way, not to become a monitoring spirit. A perfect example was when we resume our first year at the university. Usually, freshers do not know and do not have most of the things required by the school authority.

This gives some individuals the opportunity to come into the picture and provide solutions to this problem. Since making money is mostly about solving a problem. These sellers knew that freshers would need lab coats and handouts in their first year.

Na so we jam problem. At first, it was normal and acceptable to advertise to us after our first lecture. They were not going to eat it, were they? No. They have to sell it to their targeted audience. And we are their targeted audience.

But it didn't go down well with us when we continuously see them at every of our lecture halls. For instance, in a day, we have three classes at three different venues. These sellers knew it was the same students from the same lecture hall in the morning that went to the other two lecture halls in the afternoon or evening.

Still, den go they follow us everywhere we go. At first, I thought it was only me that was annoyed. But I soon found out that we were all fed up with them. Is this how marketing should occur. This is not a commodity you'll have to buy after you finish the one you are using before o. Na once in a long period commodity.

And I was wondering if they think that their previous buyers will buy from them again. Same with this yeye FB ads. My aunt once bought Cerelac Junior for her kids in a Supermart. Since then, she has started seeing Cerelac Ads on her feed every time she logged in to Facebook.

I understand that advertising needs to be done continuously for you to create awareness for customers. But it has to be done strategically. Your audience might get tired of you and start to run away from you. You are a marketer, not a monitoring spirit.

How Do You Decide What To Write?

This may or may not have to do with your decision-making skills. However, deciding what to write might own to some certain facts. For instance, your audience might be children, young adults, or even adults. The same content might not resonate with these three different categories of people. As a writer, you have to know which type your audience requires.

If you look at it from another angle, you might also want to put your writing style into consideration. There are different types of writing, you know that. Which one do you know how to do best? You shouldn't be a jack of all trades, master of none. Master how to communicate with people through a writing style.

You can start by reading other people's writeups, one which you want to emulate. Reading aids writing. The more you read, the more you know what to write and how to write it. You can research as well, you can join writing groups, you can also try other styles of writing.
