#how to market a brand

[thesophistiicate]

maybe an unpopular opinion but despite my passion for self development, i honestly dislike most typical 'self development' books and really believe you get a lot more self-expansion out of reading creative non-fiction, essays, philosophy, and literature. engagement with these types of works will expand your intellect and teach you how to grapple with big ideas for yourself, rather than following the rules set out by some girl boss or hustle bro in their glorified marketing pamphlet 'book'.

DIGITAL MARKETING FOR INTROVERTED DIVA'S | IT GIRL DIARIES

As someone who has always been interested in digital marketing and learning to navigate social media, being able to monetize it, I've also been someone who wasn't interested in using my face to bring in cash flow.

Everyday you see influencers being able to live this lavishly lifestyle with passive income from just social media. Because of this, it's been embedded in our minds that it's necessary for your face to go viral to reach a target audience.

I am proof, that this is a lie. You do not need to use your face as a cash flow, or be filming grwm/vlogs at 6 am in the morning.

I've successfully been able to create passive income, doing the exact opposite and I want to teach you how aswell.

The Digital Dollar is a mini guide that I've created to help you begin your journey as a faceless digital marketer. Purchase for just $10.99 today and learn how to bring in the BIG BILLS whilst your sound asleep .

Maybe I'm reading too much into things that have no meaning ....... BUT it's very interesting to me that the Ford content clips from VCarb's filming day are exclusively of Daniel; Daniel doing some silly little studio outtake clips for the Las Vegas GP, only clips of Daniel in the car and the garage. I just really think that Ford's interest to work with Daniel has very much been under-appreciated in some of the recent discussions about Daniel's prospects for 2025-26.

Regarding ST's merch, I think it's really obvious quality wise what merch the boys had a direct hand in and what merch is just RCA slapping ST's name and logo on something because they know it'll sell. The figurine and the constant HT/Spencer's drops scream RCA just trying to make a buck.

I think the big thing we can do as fans, or in this case consumers, is just be really picky about what merch we actually buy. Let sales numbers and the market talk for us ig (ew capitalism, but unfortunately that's how this works)

Things like the graphic novel? Hell yeah, support the shit out of that! We're out here Obtaining new, original stories made in collaboration with the band themselves, AND supporting art that aligns with the band's previously-curated brand image. Throw your money at that or hype it up online, since that's what we REALLY want to see from them. (even if it's too $$$ for many people. But, I get the sense that they wouldn't mind the pdf being shared with other fans lol. You can't tell me those nerds haven't read pirated manga/comics/books online before)

The low quality, soulless Licensed Products keep on coming because there's apparently a market for them. People will buy it just because it's ST, not because it's actually worth the money. As if it'll bring any value to their experience with the band. How many fans actually want a fuckin lava lamp, or any assortment of the hot topic merch that's just Vessel's face cheaply screenprinted on the front?

I think there's a lot of hype and market potential for their brand and likeness right now, and—for a corporate entity—it makes sense to flood the market like fucking Atlantic with whatever merch will sell. Voting with your wallet really does help. Not buying into the obvious cash-grab merch produces data that tells marketers that we're tired of it. It produces trend reports which indicate their current merch practices are becoming unprofitable to continue (oh, the horrors!)

Idk like I said last night, there seems to be a big disconnect between the band's history of being very selective with aesthetics/design, and whatever is going on right now. Personally, I'd much rather wallow in despair over sleeping through a relatively rare merch drop during European daylight hours. Because then at least the drop feels worth it, and fans who were able to buy merch will have a better, higher quality experience that actually aligns with their brand. Literally anything other than what we're seeing from them right now.

Sorry I just woke up not too long ago, so this might not read very clearly. I want to see my boys succeed and make a living off their art as much as anyone else, but surely there's a better way to support them.

Whumptober day 10: branding/scarring/collar (full under the cut - I might say this one’s slightly more intense)

i think the weirdest thing is that was not a redbull video though, i understand worring about negative comments on their own posts but this was a third party, not only they made them delete the video, they replaced it! insane loser beahviour to go out of their way to do this

but you're right i hate them anyway, it's just sad that even in this little things they're set to erase their history with daniel

oh yeah 100%. the tiktok video is weird. idk what the fuck went on there. weird. i just mean that post in the grander scheme of things because i do think this is a convo that happens on danielblr semi-regularly these days, and i'll be honest, it doesn't bother me. i'm very unbothered by them not featuring daniel. i think its petty and pathetic by them but i have deeper issues to worry about (how much i miss him i want him back i want him back i want him back i want him back i want him back). but if they were to post him, i do think i'd be on the side of get my wifes name out of ur mouth how dare you post him smiling and giggling when u made him cry in front of reporters u don't get to have his engagement anymore. that's more what i mean of it being a lose lose. cause either way, people aren't going to be happy.

tiktok video erasure tho? weird.

i hate talking about the cap bc honestly the nhl is one of the few if not only leagues where you gotta count pennies and do cap gymnastics to ice a team meanwhile some players in other sports leagues are making connor mcdavid money to be on the BENCH

[puppppppppy]

i have to say its a strange experience taking classes on branding and marketing while being vehemently anticapitalist and scorning the economic system

[goldensunset]

oh word?

[divinekangaroo]

contemplating whether or not the actual offering of kudos, comment and engagement has also started to form part of one's online brand/image...right so can't engage there because it contradicts my brand and might put my consumers offside; can't kudos there because what if someone who knows my brand-self sees that and gets confused, etc. suspecting some of this drives the negative engagement / toxicity too

Digital Marketing | Sustaining an audience during a break from social media

taking a break from all my socials, had my audience and monthly views drop below 800k..

after 2 weeks back and blogging, I grew my account to over a million monthly views.. again.

the benefit of consistency and discipline when it comes to creating passive income with social media..

putting in maximum effort in the beginning and remaining consistent in providing content to your audience even for future purposes, you will be rewarded in multiple ways and this is just an example. Being able to take a break or go on vacation and still have a thriving business behind your brand when you come back, is not a bonus that comes with a 9 to 5.

just a few months ago, i never would have thought how fun blogging would be, i love it! it's all i do now and i believe i found my favorite corner of the world and the idea of being able to turn it into a stream of income would have never crossed mind..

i know you're tempted to know the secret, so here it is www.thedigitaldollar/gumroad.com

you're welcome, mwah!
