There’s nothing wrong with bragging about your own products to everyone. But if your intent is to get them to purchase it, that technique is a long shot. They’ll think that you are only saying positive things about it so you can make some profit. Even if it’s true, they won’t believe you. What about if the “positive things” came from a friend? Or someone else? Well, it has a higher chance of making others to buy your products. That’s called a referral. However, that has a lower scope and slower progress. You don’t want that as an entrepreneur. You want your products to reach more people right away. Or rather, your target market. You would need an Influencer, but how does Influencer Marketing Strategy works?
