I apologize if there is a similar discussion to this and will link if I find anything.
This might be taboo or even shooting myself in the foot for bringing this up or just straight being ignorant.
I've had a struggle with digital marketing and more specifically copy-writing in certain ways.
When does it become an embellishment of results or just straight sales copy manipulation? If and where do you draw the lines?
(And am I ridiculous to think that I can be successful without some form of manipulation? Because I am not playing by the "Whatever It Takes" mantra and will definitely fail if I don't play along).
I can't help but think that a lot of "gurus" are borderline sociopaths charging ridiculous money.
I also don't know what to expect from the responses to this because you might not want to put yourself out there to admitting it (which I accept. All types of people in the world. you be you, I get it, that's your game. No judgment).
I'm just wondering if this is common practice, acceptable, or even expected.
Thanks!
