2. In online marketing, it’s easy to get caught up in the myopic treadmill of more sales,
more sales, more sale but look also at what types of customers you’re attracting
and where you want your business to go. Do not make the deadly mistake of painting
yourself into a corner by investing your efforts too far into one strategy with no exit
plan (i.e. – we need a huge active Facebook following next month, and nothing else
matters as much until then!). Finding the perfect mix of your audience’s online touch
points takes a lot of trial and error, and if run too far in one direction you might find
yourself searching for a window to jump out.
Never Run Upstairs
One of the most hopeless mistakes a victim
trapped in a killer’s house can make is to flee
upstairs. This is almost always a death
trap, because you have nowhere left to run as
soon as your aggressor follows you to the
second story. Jumping out a window will break
your legs, and hiding in a room is little more
than a doomed waiting game.
