    In digital marketing, don’t be afraid to lead your tribe

    Posted by Joanna Ellis-Escobar

    So often, as content marketers and online digital strategists, we see the same thing in our clients. Fear.

    Despite what they may say the reason is for not biting the proverbial bullet and taking the reins on their digital presence, more often than not, it’s the result of one little thing: fear of charging the unknown.

    Clients are afraid of what they don’t know. They’re afraid to take the leap and plunge into the dark waters of digital marketing.

    They’re afraid to start that blog, because what if nobody reads it?

    They’re afraid to put together and execute their social media campaign, because what if nobody follows them?

    They’re afraid to revamp and modernize their decade(s)-old website, because how can they sell that (read: justify) cost to their boss? 

    If you’re afraid of trying to navigate those murky waters alone, I say this: you are NOT alone. You do, in fact, have a tribe. You just need to find them.

    Hubspot Says These 3 Fears Scare People Away from Inbound

    Are you afraid to give away too much information to your site visitors and followers? Don't be!

    According to Hubspot, that's one of the top three fears that stop people from embracing the inbound methodology. But don't let this hold you back, since educating your visitors is one of the MOST important things you can do gain a following and attract people to your brand.

    Other top concerns, says Hubspot, include changing an existing sales process or sharing sales and revenue data with marketing teams (who, ironically, are typically expected to increase sales and revenue).

    Read this spooooooky post from Hubspot to learn more about why people are afraid to utilize Hubspot and inbound—and what you can do to overcome these fears and get a better ROI on your marketing:
