Do you agree? Perhaps, if you are an internet marketer.
And those living with marketers will
nod just the same, but with a little more disdain towards the field.
Those who don’t work in marketing or
live besides someone who does will not say anything. Because they will never
understand the lifestyle of a marketer. They will never get how a marketer thinks
and why his jokes are so hard to understand sometimes.
An internet marketer does not work 8
hours a day, not even 12. In fact, I don’t think a marketer can even say he is
working. The one doing it out of necessity might. But the passionate marketer does
not work. He lives marketing, he studies it everyday and he breathes it. For
him, marketing is a lifestyle.
The marketer spends more time in a
supermarket than any other woman does. Because for him, it’s not just about
buying a product and studying its price, it’s about studying the shelf, the
package, the offer, the customer, the seller, the promotion, etc. Never send a
marketer to the supermarket if you need something urgent. He might not even be
back in an hour.
When going on holiday he won’t only
watch the landmarks, he will study the image used in attracting the tourists,
he will notice the brand seeking to be associated with the landmark, he will
observe how other people react and he will get lost in the details of the
product placements around him.
The marketer has two types of
favorite numbers in his phone: his spouse and his field teammates. And if you
study his Facebook chat history you might find more links than words in there.
If you’re aiming
for a job in digital marketing get ready to change your lifestyle.
It’s hard. It’s desperately hard. It’s just so annoyingly hard. But only those who are passionate about marketing will understand why this is so delightfully easy. The reason why marketing is not a job, but a lifestyle.
