Mini Markethings Issue 8

The realisation that your mood affects your work more than you think it does, plus a real quick email marketing secret from an expert that you should try

✨ Highlight of the week:

What a bummer of a weekend.

An article of mine got rejected by a client’s client (I work for an agency).

The feedback? The article was too negative.

I pondered upon why I wrote it out that way.

Was it a lack of direction? Was it me not understanding the brief?

I read it again. I tried to recall my thought process when I wrote it.

And then I realised - I was feeling really down when I wrote that article out.

I was uncertain of where my business was going, and it didn’t help that the article I was writing about was about 9-to-5 jobs.

Moral of the story: Be careful about the mood you’re in when you’re right.

Remember that saying, never make decisions when you’re angry?

Same approach.

So how did I regain my positivity to ensure I wrote a more well-thought-out article?

  • Helps to have a group of like-minded people to chat with

  • Listen to some music (anything you like, doesn’t have to be calming - I’m talking Slipknot and Rage Against The Machine, if you need to)

  • Try to write without distractions. Keep your phone away and switch off your Wi-Fi if possible.
