Performance marketing is NOT an investment. THIS is.

Published: Dec. 20, 2023, 3:29 a.m.

In episode #2638, We discuss the concept of performance marketing and whether it should be considered an investment. We reference a podcast with Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky, who decided to temporarily stop performance marketing and focus on building a great product. While performance marketing may not be a long-term investment, it can still be a profitable strategy if it generates a positive return on investment. The key takeaway is to diversify marketing efforts and take advantage of profitable opportunities, regardless of whether they are considered investments or not.
