I was just watching a YouTube video from a marketer that was giving some really great info. I was enthusiastic until he said "you may have ran into ... ." This is someone I will never buy anything from. This guy is nice looking, well dressed, and basically presents himself well, but that small grammatical mistake will make some people click out immediately and never come back. The saddest part is that this is not the first instance of this I've seen online. I just saw one guy who said "I seen this marketer..." and another who said "they had went... ." I'm a writer, so grammar is extremely important to me. Bad grammar says so much about the person. Like my mother always said, "You can buy things and you can even buy people, but you can't buy class."
How important is grammar is marketing?

Internet marketing is all about selling yourself. If you don't even care enough about yourself to speak your native language properly, what does that say to people you want to trust you? We've all seen promotions full of ESL with poor spelling and English composition that is like nails on a chalkboard when you read it. These are always the people who want to know what they are doing wrong and why no one is buying their products.
My suggestion is that if you can't speak proper English (or whatever language you are selling in), hire someone to do your writing for you and to edit your videos before you put them out there. Not that we're trying to sell to the hoi poloi here, but I would be ashamed to send out some of the stuff I've seen.
