For me first step in marketing is to understand my target audience, their requirements and what's in trend. Then I would begin to make strategy that include lead generation.

The first step in marketing comes AFTER deciding the WHAT TO MARKET, does it not?

But, even before then, going back to the reason WHY to start...may determine not only the kind of marketing you do, but maybe even if you NEED to do it.

So, your question assumes the Warrior has already decided the WHAT they will be marketing, and after 25 years, we know most Warriors don't have a clue as to the what when they come here.

Doesn't it make a little bit of sense to take an overview of the effort, to see if something other than HAVING to market something might be more feasible for the Warrior?

STEP 1 Be care about the problem you're trying to solve

STEP 5 Become part of the conversation

The first step in marketing is KNOW YOUR TARGET AUDIENCE

This is where social media groups / subreddits / etc matter a lot

PROFILE your target audience

Come up with an IDEAL BUYER PROFILE

Everything must flow from this point...

Otherwise, expect to waste lots of time and money

Setting clear marketing objectives is a fundamental initial step. Establishing specific, measurable goals provides direction and clarity, guiding the strategies and tactics needed to achieve desired outcomes.

My strategy begins with the development of a buyer persona. Following that, I will choose a type of content for that audience, create a content plan/calendar, and begin creating content.

Perhaps...motivation?

Identifying your target audience and their requirements form the initial cornerstone of marketing. This knowledge aids in crafting tailored strategies and messages for better engagement with potential customers.

I would create the social media account first. You can get some free traffic coming in probably if you try. If you just start a blog, expect no traffic probably.

Choose a problem, not a product

I would say facebook messenger but not the way everyone does it i would add revelant people on facebook but for the first few days forget about your business your product or services, dont mention your link or sharing but focus on the indvidual dont see them as a lead but treat them as a friend just get to know them and see how the conversation goes share your business when it seems natural to do so you will never be seen as a scammer but a friend who wants to help them i strongly believe you can see anything on messenger when you do it this way, i hope this helps

I would produce content build an emai list and net work frequently

This would be different for everyone, In marketing getting traffic or getting people to see your offer is the first step for me. I have landing pages, email Auto responders, and much more. If you don't have fresh daily traffic, you are dead in the water

Build potential buyers email list is a first step for successful marketing.

The first step is choosing the right niche (for you).

Knowing what you want and where you want to go. From there you can find the right group and understand the right opening or need for that group.

For ex:Amazon online arbitrage sellers

Opening: Need a software to help them find products faster and easier.
