Hi,

As a business owner, I’m sure you’d be receiving multiple cold DMs, cold emails, cold calls from freelancers and agencies looking to help you promote your business with online ads either on Google or Facebook or some other online channel.

Has it occurred to you that if these guys are pitching to help you with ads why aren’t they running these ads for themselves and get clients?

Is this approach by them good to get clients or they should walk the talk?

Thanks!

    I agree with you on the part of they should be doing a mix of everything but paid marketing is expensive from a financial sense as well as an employee cost sense. If the agency is using their employees to complete projects for clients that doesn’t leave much time for marketing themselves. If they run a big paid campaign and can only handle a few new clients at a time, then the money is being wasted.

    As far as can a SMMS with 700 followers help with a business with 15k followers, I would say the same thing. Who cares if their agency has a lot of followers - how have the agency’s clients fared with their services?

    Many industries naturally get more followers than a marketing agency. I’ve been in marketing my whole life and I don’t want to follow agency accounts, nor do I take the time to appear as an internet guru, but my clients will speak volumes about what I’ve been able to accomplish for them - and the reason I accomplished it for them is because I was being paid to.

    Does that make sense?
