FROM MY WORLD

Most Marketers Are Getting This Dead Wrong—Are You?

I was browsing  Facebook the other day, minding my own business, when something caught my eye…

Ads.

A lot of ads.

Nothing surprising, right? Except these ads weren’t from established businesses.

They were from people I know—folks working two jobs, some with no business experience. Suddenly, they were running Facebook ads like seasoned marketers.

And that’s when it hit me…

The internet has completely demolished the barriers to entry.

No more gatekeepers. No more high costs. No more “you need a big name to compete.”

Now, anyone with a brain and a credit card can launch an ad and go toe-to-toe with massive corporations.

And while I love that—because it means the economy is booming—it also means most people are getting marketing wrong.

What’s the mistake?

They’re selling products.

They’re screaming, “My lotion is better than their lotion!” or “My course is cheaper and faster than that other course!”

Here’s the problem: That’s what everyone does.

And when everyone’s shouting the same thing, customers stop listening.

Your ad becomes just another speck of dust in the marketing windstorm.

The secret?

Sell ideas instead.

Big, bold, exciting ideas that make people lean in and say, “Wait, I’ve never thought about it like that before.”

Think of Eugene Schwartz, one of the greatest copywriters ever. He didn’t sell products. He sold new ways of thinking.

That’s exactly how I launched my Stilled Traffic product. I didn’t say, “Here’s a traffic source that’s cheaper and better.”

I started with an idea:

  •  “The marketplace is too crowded.”

  •  “There’s a smarter way to get leads.”

By the time people got to my offer, they were already sold on the idea—my product was just the natural next step.

So, if your ads aren’t working…

If your emails aren’t getting clicks…

If you’re blending in with the crowd instead of standing out…

Ask yourself: Am I selling a product, or am I selling an idea?

Because until you make that switch, you’re just another voice in the noise.

Borrowing Authority: The Power Move Every Smart Marketer Uses

Ever feel like nobody takes you seriously?

You’re out there trying to build your business, grow your audience, or get some traction—yet it feels like you’re screaming into the void.

  • Nobody listens.

  • Nobody cares.

  • Nobody clicks your links.

Frustrating, right?

Here’s the harsh truth: Authority is everything.

If people don’t see you as someone worth listening to your words, no matter how valuable—will get ignored.

But what if I told you there’s a shortcut to building instant credibility?

A way to go from being invisible to being seen as a leader in your space?

Here it is: Borrow authority.

That’s right—steal the spotlight from people who already have it.

How?

By interviewing experts.

Think about it: Every successful person you admire once started as a nobody. They weren’t born famous. They had to claw their way into the spotlight.

And one of the fastest ways to do it? Association.

When you interview an expert, a few things happen:

  1. You tap into their credibility. Their reputation rubs off on you. If you’re talking to someone important, people assume you must be important, too.

  2. You build instant trust. If an expert is willing to talk to you, your audience will trust you more. They’ll see you as someone with valuable connections.

  3. You create powerful content—without doing the heavy lifting. The expert does most of the talking, sharing insights and strategies. You just ask smart questions.

This isn’t a theory. It’s a proven strategy.

Some people built entire careers off this one technique.

They start with zero authority, interview an expert, publish the conversation, and—boom—they’re suddenly on the map.

A single interview can open doors to:

  • More Credibility

  • Bigger opportunities 

  • A loyal audience who sees you as a trusted source

And here’s the best part: Experts love to talk.

As long your audience aligns with their brand, they’ll be happy to chat.

So if you’ve been struggling to get noticed if you feel stuck in a sea of competition…

Stop waiting for people to recognize your value.

Go and borrow authority.

Because once people see you standing next to an expert, they’ll stop ignoring you—and start paying attention.
