    There are more people achieving financial freedom faster today than ever before and the stock market is the best place. While the market will almost certainly rise over the long run it’s important to understand the trends to achieve more profitable trades.

    A very good video in Marketing with lots of useful inputs. Perhaps, next time, a Marketing Plan presentation in GROWING ADVOCACY YOUTUBE CHANNELS will give you millions in viewers instantly. Specially if it come with FREE strategies, techniques, and visually-appealing templates too.

    The executive summary needs to be done at last, since it is a page of the conclusion of your marketing plan instead of making it like an introduction, pretty sure u are not an expert on marketing. Better not confusing somebody into this, I suggest everyone who watches this video go watch sth else other than this. The contents are not accurate and sometimes misleading.



  12. Adriana Gonzalez on December 14, 2021 at 2:22 pm

    Best informative video on this topic! Excellent! Thank you! 🙂 All the templates are a lovely bonus <3

    As a marketing consultant and trainer, I wanted to let you know that your video labelled ‘How to Create a Marketing Plan’ is labelled incorrectly. What you are covering in your video is a marketing strategy, not a marketing plan. Just to clarify a marketing strategy includes things like an executive summary and outlines everything from your SWOT analysis, your goals, competitive research and your target audience (personas) etc…On the other hand, a marketing plan is what you would create after your marketing strategy, as it is the roadmap to how you will carry out the agreed upon marketing strategy. Your marketing plan would outline what marketing mix i.e. what social channels and digital platforms you will use, what content you will create, what your CTAs (call-to-actions) will be, how long your campaign will run for and how your campaign will be analysed/measured to see if you have met your goals. .

    i have questions regards what it the steps before start the marketing plan, is segmentation first, then target my market, set my brand positioning then go into the marketing plan?



  30. Shun let let Aung on December 14, 2021 at 2:43 pm

    Why is phobe’s alter character here?



  31. ilker bayar on December 14, 2021 at 2:45 pm

    They lost me at the beginning. You write the executive summary once you finish your plan NOT as soon as you start writing the business plan or marketing plan.



  32. Ahmed Hashem on December 14, 2021 at 2:46 pm

    very wonderful but why the templates don’t support Arabic fonts ?

    Great video guys, I usually don’t find what I need from the first video I open, thank you, useful information. but now I hope to see detailed explanation of each step on separate videos, maybe a series called "How to create a marketing plan step by step guide" and the above video is the introduction.



  38. Emily Gan on December 14, 2021 at 2:50 pm

    Super helpful. Glad that i found your video in the midst of writing my marketing assignment. Everything was cleared after watching it. Simple and precise. Awesome!
