Great article!

“Stand with me…because this is what we’re going to do together!” vs. “This is what I’ve done, and how cool I am”….big difference!

I believe strongly that marketing lies simply in presenting your ideas to *the king* whoever the king may be. In all our social circles we have someone whose ideas and perspectives are taken note of more than others.. for example if a take away staff gave you a tip on the stock market you wouldnt have belief or interest in it, whereas a high flying business man mentioned it then you would take it seriously and actively investigate… as it might make you happy as you imagine he is!!
Find the audience through presenting yourself to those in social control.. don’t go directly to the market but use the middle man with a reputation. Credibility sells things.. people can even not enjoy something but think well Tom Cruise seems to enjoy it so what am i doing wrong?… lets take smoking.

Self promotion should be a word of mouth idea that comes from the top, or who is in the know.

Sure Mike, but I don’t sweat it. I’m too focused on my own work to worry about what other people think.

In your experience, is it common to have people who don’t get the concept of self-promotion to consider you arrogant and cocky?
