1682 Why Does Jonny Hate Marketing? Exploring the Solopreneurs Perspective with Jonny Hates Marketings Jonny Cooper
b'In this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge speaks with Business Coach and Mentor, Jonny Cooper.\\n\\n\\n\\nJonny\'s unique perspective on marketing, especially for online solopreneurs, is a breath of fresh air in an industry often seen as a necessary evil.\\n\\nThe name "Jonny Hates Marketing" was born during a podcast interview where we discussed marketing practices that lacked respect. Johnny realized that many of his community members shared his sentiment, viewing marketing as a pain and a necessary evil. But Jonny\'s hatred for marketing isn\'t about the concept itself but how it\'s often executed.\\n\\nJonny believes marketing should be about solving someone\'s problem rather than self-promotion. He quotes Seth Godin\'s definition of marketing as the generous act of solving someone\'s problem. This approach requires a deep understanding of your ideal client\'s challenges, hopes, and dreams.\\n\\nOne of the critical points Johnny emphasizes is the importance of building communities and creating a sense of belonging for ideal clients. When people feel that people like them work with a particular service provider, they will likely trust and believe in that provider\'s products or services.\\n\\nJohnny works with coaches and therapists either starting their businesses or struggling to attract clients. He helps them clarify what they do in simple terms, identify their target audience, and develop their signature programs or offers.\\n
