Stop learning marketing the wrong way in 2025

The advice I've given 1M+ marketing students (updated)

Just updated our most requested Marketing School episode ever: How to actually learn marketing in 2025.

Here's the truth - most people are doing it completely wrong.

Yes, you should follow the experts:

  1. Alex Garcia for social strategy

  2. Matt McGarry (Newsletter Operator) for email mastery

  3. Marketing Brew for industry insights

  4. Marketing Examined on X

  5. Kyle Poyar for B2B frameworks

But here's what nobody tells you: consuming content alone is living in fantasy land.

The REAL way to learn marketing?

Build something. Test it. Probably fail at first. Then adapt.

(Quick story: My first site was LightShowVideos. Ranked #1 on Google. Generated exactly $0 in revenue. But that failure taught me more than any course could.)

Here's the other secret: Don't try everything at once.

Pick ONE channel. Master it. Then expand.

Speaking of which... Instead of spending months figuring out which channel to focus on, why not let us analyze your business and create a customized marketing roadmap?

We'll show you exactly where to focus first, based on data from 100+ similar companies we've grown.

No fluff. No theory. Just a clear path forward.
