Content is overrated in todays marketing … here’s why

Before you behead me, hear me out.

 

I didn’t say content is not important. 

 

I said it is overrated

 

And to illustrate that, I’m going to tell you a story: 

 

“Cards Against Humanity” is a company that creates card games.

 

And on Black Friday in 2014, they removed all their card games from their site and sold only one thing: 

 

“Bullshit”. 

 

I mean, literal cow dung. 

 

And guess what?

 

They sold 30,000 boxes in less than 2 hours!

 

 30,000 people whipped out their credit cards and happily paid for boxes of cow dung!

 

So let me ask you: 

 

What “content” did they give out? 

 

What “value” did they sell? 

 

None. 

 

Nada. 

 

Nothing.

 

Which begs the question:

 

Why do healthprenuers struggle to sell legitimate life-changing offers, 

when another company can sell 30,000 boxes of bullshit? 

 

The answer? 

 

Image. 

Brand.

Perception. 

Entertainment.

 

And a host of other factors that are more important than “content” or “value” in today’s market. 

 

It’s too much to get into in a single post …

The bad side of running 2 businesses that are in the “zero to one” stage (like I am doing), is that you have split focus. Tbh, it’s not very wise and I won’t advise you to do it. It’s better to concentrate all your atten
