What do you hate the most about internet/digital marketing?

These are just three of the most challenging areas within digital marketing today--tomorrow, they will no doubt be different.

I hate that it`s difficult to choose product now in era of digital marketing

I hate TikTok, it's stupid and chaotic...At LinkedIn or Twitter I can give you a clear roadmap on how to grow, how to sell there, I kind of know what works and what doesn't, how and what to test, what use each content have...In TikTok I just do videos everyday and one shitty video get 10k views and a really good one gets 50, why? I don't know

Me i hate the free traffic .You work hard everyday and its slow seems like work for nothing .I think you need to work consistently for 90 days to get some good traffic

Wow! Crazy, more than 500M users already?
Cringe is the name of the game then haha I'll implement it into my strategy and keep you posted!

I don't believe those numbers. There are 330 million in the US and that graph claims 1 in 3 is on TikTok? If that number is true I'd say those are 5-6 yr olds being entertained.



Taking statistics from the internet and believe them at face value is not conducive to finding the truth on any subject.

Speaking of TikTok...

it's absolutely loaded with millions and millions of bots. These bots can change algorithms and are very deceptive.

Ever seen a stupid video that makes no sense and yet it will have 400 shares? or 10s of thousands of likes? Mostly all bots.

If you're a business advertising on TikTok, you need to be very wary of all the likes and followers you get...and realize what you think you're getting for your money is not exactly as it appears. You would be smart to look into what I'm saying and research it.

No, I'm not just an old person that dislikes social media. There are a lot of voices behind the red flags that are getting raised over the app.

I honestly am not sure why we allow the app in the U.S.

tbh evry time I hear of death by bots ima thinkin' of muh yogah class changin' area.

Gotta figure a groop shimmy could unhinge the moons of Saturn, likely also the rings.

What is cool 'bout the graphic is how it might be perfect for combin' your thighs if'n you mootated into a lycanthrope doorin' a zaaahmbie apocalypse.

I have no need for such products rn, but who knows what I may seek out if things change.

Take Insect Attack, for example.

Standard plague, space bugs, enhanced capability, TWO EXTRA ANTENNAE etc.

That is when the closet lycanthrope people's gonna cum outta hidin'.

They will leave their past behind.

They will forget forevah all they seen an' learned as hoomans.

They will fight as beasts united to defend the world they love.

Yeah, but you cain't do that srsly with crap lookin' fur.

So I would wanna comb my ears straight.

Work a neat sheen into my overall hursooty.

Plus also style my hairdo an' my blendyjuicy areah to confoose brain-gobblin' zaaahmbies there be dangerous rodents afoot.

For sure, top chefs could patent this gnarly set of blue teeth as the next designah zucchini peeler.

"Why peel off all the skin when you can leave it mortally ravaged? Why slice when you can real deep scratch? Hey, why not simply club it to a puree bcs you got SOMETHING in your hand?"

Tellya, you pulsin' that kinda kitchen accessory out 'longside yr mountaintop cookery show, prolly you gaht the plectrum of the 2020s.

"Works with Avocado too!"

Tellya, scrape an avocado with this baby, you can bake the fine slices an' sell 'em on Amazon as toothpicks.

Craft aficionados may also wanna buy the ravaged avocados an' reassemble 'em jus' how they were.

"Why scrape when you can mould?"

Tellya, when you on all fours in yogah aftah a real bad day, simple avocado advice like this can lift your spirits when you desprit for svelto postyah.

"I know you hurtin' Princess. An' I know you shrank your joggahs in the wash so you look like you wearin' sum weird guy's boxahs. An' I know summa the ottha gals could blot out the sun forevahmore if'n they diligent enough to stick to the routine. But you are creatin' your own dream fyootyore here. Grate the veg! Like Egyptians scratchin' hieroglyphics on the walls!"

Upsell is a matchin' eyebrow pluckah.

"Tease from your flesh
all imperfections.
Stir coffee.
Toon your piano.
Stab villains."

I hate tik tok...

Haha it seems that we have consensus on the TikTok, so the question now is, Aside Tiktok, what do you hate the most about internet/digital marketing? So aside from TikTok, I hate the testing phase, you have to check so many things, do the analysis...I don't like that part

You think?


Owned by a Chinese company AND the Chines govt....I'd say it's ridiculous so many people are willing to join and give out their info to get 'views' on tiktok.

I hate acronyms. not just in marketing but in everything. you try to get information on a new topic or format then in the middle, there is this three-letter abbreviation that I am supposed to know what it means.

I constantly reply to emails and even verbal conversations with. "I do not know what those letters mean, please use complete words."

The worst thing about internet marketing is the myth that it's easy and anyone can do it without experience. Learning the basics of internet marketing and building up your business requires a lot of time and effort. There are also many scammers online who will try to take your money with fake products and courses.

The best way to avoid these problems is to learn from someone with experience in internet marketing. I recommend following some marketers on social media and learning from their free content. You can also attend meetups (a face-to-face event where people meet to discuss a specific topic) to talk to experienced marketers. You can also read books by professional people or take online courses if you want more structure.

In digital marketing i hate spammer. If i set a contact us form on any site without spammer protection like captcha then after few days get lots of nonsense message. Same things on email. So, for me i hate spammer so much.

I hate things like this:

"Information evaluation: how to get the most out of your omnichannel marketing database.
Trying to figure out what a customer wants...
Details about Your Brand...

This is for testing and making improvements."

What I dislike the most about Internet marketing is the change of commission plans. Some programs keep on altering their commission plans and structures.

Are they, by any chance Challenge Area A, Challenge Area B, and Challenge Area C? Because I really hate those too, especially Challenge Area B.


C'mon man, is thinking a full thought that hard?


What I hate about internet marketing? Algorithm. They never seem to get me.

I hate the volatility in SEO traffic. Big G can devastate your site from one day to the other.

Ever-changing space & sometimes it's just a little more difficult than others. You can make a lot of money for a lot of years and it can become inconsistent. Most digital marketers never really built a business.

Can't imagine waking up and doing anything else though it's all I would do even if I didn't get paid.

I hate the YouTube algorithm and how you need to make soo many videos before you can even get your first 10000 views!

I hate whenever I get forced to rank the keywords on top positions and Google rolls out its algorithms without prior notification xoxo

One thing I hate about digital marketing that no one can control GOOGLE. what ever we do it is only done through best practice and understanding by top given result on Google. Nothing is assured, nothing is written, nothing is mentioned about Google. No fixed rules. when and how he change his algorithm no one can imagine and understand.

Stupid people in the offline market that don't want to pay the digital marketing services but want to piggyback of it.

I hate how all the big social networks seem to be pulling up the ladder behind them. 5-7 yrs ago, you really could post youtube videos/fb posts and be found and hit it big. Now the algorithms are not only making everything more "pay to play" but they are also getting (IMO at least) too picky about what kind of opinions people espouse and booting off info or people they don't like. Which is turning social media into an echo chamber of "the chosen ones" which is not at all how the internet was supposed to be or originally was.



Also yes, agree about Tiktok hahhahhaha. I used to love that app-I have a Youtube channel, and had branched out onto TikTok, was growing steadily on TikTok getting 3-10 followers a day and then all out of nowhere, when I was at about the 9k follower mark, they suddenly just started removing followers. No joke, like every day for the last year or so, every time I log on, I've lost a couple followers. I'm now down to less than 8500 followers, and each of my videos used to show on average to about 400 people, now it's 40. So I think I got shadow banned or something. So yes, lol...boo on Tiktok, hahha.

Most Digital Marketers sell the sizzle...but can't deliver.

Hi
I too also hate algorithms in digital marketing

A lot of us hate maths, in all forms.

I love Jerry Seinfeld and Comedians in Cars going for Coffee.

I HATE talking heads in general, but in Cars specifically. Lately, they sit in their drive way and talk to us, maybe the baby is asleep in their little apartment and they don't want to wake it up?

Nice thing about YouTube is PREMIUM, so I don't see them there, but still, Facebook and other sites, serve up these blabbering talking heads daily.

My new channel (don't hold your breath) on all my Social Media is: NO TALKING HEADS.

NTH, just the info without the faces and loud mouths.

Kinda funny... but the part i probably love the most...ALGORITHMS!

The one thing that gets me is exit intent pop-ups and content gating.

The one thing I don't understand about digital marketing...

is if I haven't heard of your company before through advertising, I'm probably not going to buy. So why if you're a little guy are you going to spend countless hours trying to appease me through SEO, etc.?

And, I think that's pretty true for most buyers these days.

If you're selling on Amazon...most will look at your ratings and decide. Not sure if you can do SEO or whatever for your store on Amazon...but to be honest, I have no idea.

I hear about all these people trying to do content and SEO and blah, blah, blah...

and I don't see how any of that matters if you're unheard of in the first place.

Instead of SEO, I would partner with someone that had influence and a list. Seems to me that would save yourself a ton of headaches.

There are so many shortcuts that all the little stuff doesn't seem that important anymore.

Walmart may do SEO, not sure, but if I"m looking for something from them, I just go to walmart dot com.

Partnering with someone would be so much more valuable than worrying about all the SEO stuff in my opinion.

Buy hey, I'm not a digital marketing expert so these are just my thoughts and I know how I shop...and I do spend my fair share online

I hate most the google algorithm update. As whenever new update came we need to revise whole seo strategy.

I hate clickbait... "26 and still not a billionaire? You must be stupid! lol ---> check this out: 17-year-old without business experience becomes a billionaire in less than a year following this easy step-by-step process..."

I hate algorithm updates most. I lost millions from the updates from Google and Facebook.

Millions of bolivares haha

Probably my last piece on this topic, don't want to become a hater but I hate censorship on social media...There has to be some stuff to not be allowed by the algorithm that is in the realm of common sense (promotion of drugs, weapons, porn, hideous s***s...) but beyond that...No bueno IMO

I try to become successful with adult media buying several times but fall again and again. How I become successful I can't clearly understand.

Yes, this is true, Tik Tok is a nonsense platform, it shows more of the bad content and not the good informative content.

Maybe the word hate is said too much, but some popups bother me. I have my website and have worked on creating the popup window for a long time. I have seen different websites with high-quality popup windows and some very bad ones that made my experience as a user of that site very bad. That's why I wanted to avoid such poor-quality popup windows, and I worked quite a lot on creating a quality WordPress popup. But until the end, I chose a wonderful result and am very satisfied with this. That's what I hate the most about internet/digital marketing.

The lies being peddled about some products/projects.

I love every aspect of it: the residuals, automation and most importantly, the freedom.

I can go watch a Netflix movie and feel like they pay me to watch.

Everything you want to have in this Internet age is at your disposal.

Most of the time google merchant center got banned for minimal issues. Their AI work triggered items wrongly and banned the merchant account. Also, it's a hassle to get this back too. So this things is very disgusting

Undoubtedly nowadays digital marketing benefits us and everyone in a big way and we feel a lot of joy and clarity in it.

I think digital market the ng is the future and nowadays every startup business relay on this.

I hate the fact that Google is a monopoly as far as SEM is concerned. It's extremely worrying that one decision by Google can sink a whole website once and for all. I hate how Google has managed to monopolize this space.

Firstly all people consider it fake . Actually all people thing how it's possible that how we can earn through internet.But know all people understand that we can earn through internet or digital marketing.I also hate but now I am interested.This TikTok is totally wastage of time .

Hi, I dont like the prices for traffic from PPC, they go only up and up, most platforms are monopolies, so they can dictate the prices

Time wastage in making impression!

I hate that there is a trend to use AI to replace content creators.

Content creation is the part of marketing I love the most. I love creating! I write anywhere from 10K to 25K words a day. I write for my own blogs. I freelance write for others. In all honesty, writing chills me out.

I could never see myself relying on artificial intelligence to write for me.

SEO has always told us to write for humans and not robots, right?

I say humans should be doing that writing, not robots.

The biggest thing i hate is the learning curve involved with new strategies. I'm stuck in my old ways and would rather prefer not to learn new things. But i know that to stay competitive, I have to stay on top of the marketplace and learn whatever new technique there is.

What I hate most about digital marketing is the competition. Which ever niche I take, I can see many talented marketers competing me.

Optimizing a Blogspot blog is simple. Ref: How to Optimize a Blogspot Template?

I hate that social media today has no interest in value content.

Its is all about thirst trapping these days.

The bigger the booty and the bigger the cameltoe the more the algorithm promotes your content.

Still not giving up tho

I hate the lack of traffic. It is insanely hard to get free traffic. Yes, you can do blogging if you are good at SEO, but it is a time-consuming task and takes skills. You can also do other stuff like using social media and youtube, but it is not that simple.

I like solo ads, but they just cost too much for me. It's time to get some traffic for my business! I have very good business, but the lack of traffic ruins it.

I hate is Google is like " lover " sometimes I like , sometimes I hate .

1. Blind reciprocation of the trash products that are on Warrior Plus. Just close the whole place down.

2. Unrealistic expectations of newbies. Push button passive income is a myth perpetuated by the above places. If you want to get good at making money online, you have to learn and implement, test and tweak. Like any other skill in real life.

I could go on.....

Exactly.

The question was: "What do you hate the most about internet/digital marketing?"

And I provided my answer. Simple.

The fancy sales pages that promise me mega-riches. Gee whiz, just keep it short and simple. Tell me the basic facts I need, and I'll mostly likely buy the product. I don't like people wasting my time with an outrageous story about how rich I'm going to become by using their product. I'll settle for a few hundred dollars a month as long as the marketer is HONEST and can deliver something that's genuine.

I personally hate tiktok they has to revised their guidelines .

What I hate most about internet marketing is ... how most of them are promoted. They're like bombs going off that attract a lot of attention for a week or so and then disappear. IMers have promulgated this psycho belief that's driven entirely by FOMO -- Buy it now or you'll never get the chance!

It's bad enough that places like Costco and Sam's Club have seasonal things that are there for just a few months, but there's a lot of great stuff being created and if you don't buy it when it's launched, you may never see it again.

A close second to that is software products being sold for a unusually low one-time cost that I know is unsustainable. They say they're going to raise the price and turn it into a monthly deal, but virtually nobody ever does. So they might make a huge pot of money on the launch, but affiliates get 60% of that and the rest runs out in 6 months or so, and then what? To keep the lights on, they pound the hell out of you with emails promoting every other launch to the point where you can't even remember what you bought from these guys originally. And you never hear about it from them again. Meaning that if you find their tool to actually be useful, there's a better than even chance their support for it will steadily decline and there will be virtually no improvements made to it -- because they have no income to invest in anything further.

People selling high priced courses that promise the earth and deliver little. Also the amount of rubbish products in the marketplaces which are just out to make a fast buck and care little for the people who end up buying them

The thing i hate most of all is the same thing that has been happening in internet marketing or any sort of business for years one day u are on social media and you get a message from someone out of the blue they have never said hello or introduced themselves they just promoted some random link or offer hoping that u click on it and you buy their product one thing is certain for sure it never works or will ever work today or in the future.

a couple of things you have to consider why would i buy from someone i have never heard of and no nothing of what the product/service does and also people dont buy at first glance and their is squeese page to collect their email becuase they are only thinking on the mindset whats in it for them and the customers are just a number they have no value to them.

for much as this fails and dont like how much people do their business, there is an escape plan and to be different than perhaps everyone else in the market. give real true value one very simple way is say for eg on facebook try this.

1. like post
2. comment on it dont say good job for eg

review thier post and comment what u loved about it maybe a sentence or 2, and give something extra, they think he isnt like everybody else, click on ur profile and maybe check out your website all because you gave them so value, i hope this helps and this that may read this, thanks for this question today
