about the book

When it comes to marketing, simple is better.

Unfortunately, marketing has become overly complicated. We are bombarded with marketing tools and tactics, social media channels, and shiny objects.

It’s overwhelming.

As a smart person, you don’t want to become a professional marketer. You offer a valuable product or service and want to attract more customers. Marketing isn’t your area of expertise—your subject matter is.

Yet, you must do marketing—it’s essential to keep your business going.

The solution is a return to simplicity.

In Simple Marketing for Smart People, Billy Broas and Tiago Forte share the secret to cut through the noise. Their approach is based on timeless principles, the human experience, and insights from the great copywriters of the past.

In this book, you will learn:

  • A focusing question to guide all your future marketing efforts
  • Why at its core, marketing is teaching
  • How to identify the beliefs your customers need to embrace your products and services

With the strategy provided in this book, you will never have to feel overwhelmed, anxious, or disingenuous because of your sales efforts. Instead, you’ll educate your customers, see your sales grow, and build a business that sustains you and the lifestyle you dream of.

Unlock the power of simplicity and embrace the smart person’s approach to marketing.
