Distribution is harder than building

There’s a commonly repeated statement in this subreddit: “Distribution is harder than building.” And for most people, I’m sure that’s true to some extent.

However, marketing is such a broad field, with countless channels, strategies, and approaches, such that I’m curious:

What part of marketing do you personally find difficult?
- Getting started in the first place?
- Figuring out how to do organic marketing?
- Knowing which channels or strategies to focus on?

- Or is marketing as a whole just difficult to understand?

I’m curious because I don’t necessarily think marketing is universally “hard.” I think a lot of people simply don’t know where to start, especially without prior experience, and end up struggling as a result.

Would love to hear your experiences
Thanks!

(Not a survey or anything just curious since this is thrown around in the sub a lot)
