You make a good point Oscar.

Sadly, all the time there’s people looking for a generic ‘paint by numbers’ approach as you call it, there will be experts selling it.

Thanks.

Hmmm. I think that you should have also mentioned that in order to be original, you need to research to see what’s already out there. I mean, sure, you might think that you have a novel idea, but as Shakespeare said, nothing is new under the sun. So, better just find more unique ways of presenting something old as new, right?
Thanks for sharing this!

The copycats often don’t see or find the whole picture. Paint by numbers strategies don’t work if you don’t have all of the pain colors and all of the numbers, you know. Nice post.

Hi Jim!

I understand what your point is, but there was nothing else for me to add on that matter. Instead, I tried to draw some focus on how easy it is to do things wrong rather than get them right.

Mr. Connolly, Excellent blog post with Great marketing tips! My favorite tip was the question asking “What is YOUR <– (key word) marketing strategy and not EVERYBODY <– (another key word) else's copycat strategy? Thats why (if you haven't already noticed) I carefully chose the words (teaching myself effective marketing strategis) for my twitter bio. I was hoping that people would get why I said that:) My mama didn't raise no damn fool & I have Certified Bullshit Detectors that I keep finely tuned LOL! On a more serious note, your tip stated there is no secret formula to marketing stategies, and I couldn't agree with you more! Like you said, those repeated copycat strategies might have worked for someone else but, that doesn't mean it's 100% going to work for you. The copycat will lack the confidence that comes with ones Authentic DNA and people will see through that lickedy split! Lack of authenticity makes for a very poor marketer!
