1. Marketing is BEYOND YOU Yep. Don’t think that all of your friends and contacts will promote your video… I mean unless you are Taylor Swift. I almost didn’t put together a marketing plan. Because what if I did all this marketing, and then the video still flopped? That would’ve been embarrassing.
Then I realized how stupid that was. It’s better to try your damnedest and fail than to hold back and always wonder what if.
