"This is Marketing" by Seth Godin Reading Notes
Chapter1 Marketing is the landscape of our lives. We take marketing for granted and don’t notice how it’s changing us. Marketing is the act of making change happen. Making is insufficient. You haven’t made an impact until you’ve changed someone. For most of my lifetime, marketing was advertising. It's easier to make products and services for the customers you seek to serve than it is to find customers for your products and services. First, every trick for sale on the site is demonstrate with a video. Time to stop spamming and pretending you’re welcome. Chapter 2 Persistent, consistent, and frequent stories, delivered to an aligned audience, will earn attention, trust and action. If you want to make change, begin by making culture. Begin by organizing a tightly knit group. Begin by getting people in sync. Cultures beats strategy-so much that culture is strategy.
