I have follow Seth Godin for the last 20 years. The fact that he had failure shows that failure is OK but quitting is not. Your ideas will spread if you press forward after each failure. You are only a failure if you quit. Don't quit.

Great talk, still relevant today, probably more so as technology continues to grow - that's what I call timeless information! Thank you Seth!

Love this. I think in order to be successful, you have to love what you're doing. But it doesn't stop there. You have to know how to spread an idea (or market your idea to others). I like what he says, and I'm paraphrasing: It doesn't matter what you do; spreading ideas applies to everyone.

Excellent! Currently reading Seth’s Marketing book. Excellent teacher and simplifies marketing. So recommend reading his books 👍

I use to idolize this video a lot, but the more i take on the journey of entrepreneurship, i realise its not entirely about being remarkable but also about solving problems.

"How to get your ideas SPREAD" ... obviously it has to be useful if it's going to catch on.

I come back to this every now and then. Amazing talk!

The problem is most (small) business owners don't have the patience to seek out the people who will love their products, and wait for it to spread. Everyone wants instant gratification and therefore continue to market to the masses.

On the contrary, some wait too long hoping it spreads without ever succeeding. Businesses require money (revenue). Revenue is generated by sales. If you don't sell anything, you go out of business. I think the problem is most (small) business literally cannot afford to be patient and wait for their good idea to spread, so they market to the masses- hoping to gain traction. Facebook changed that. We can spearfish now instead of casting large nets.

FortuneMarketingCo I was having the same thought while I came across this comment. Cool!

I would love nothing more than to get James Howard Kuntsler, Seth Godin, and Peter Thiel in the same room. They all touch on interestingly intertwined concepts but have distinct and original perspectives on them.

Seth paints a picture of a sad sad world, where people are too busy to think for themselves, so they follow the trending crowd and don't use their powerful focus to create a better world. Only thinking of what's in it for ME! I wish the people inventing stuff that people do not need, would put their genius to products which would clean up the environment, or heal the sick or teach people to forgive each other. How can we use this marketing power to create a better world for all beings. We need to redefine what is Remarkable, and celebrate what is truly Remarkable! LOVE is Truly Remarkable, and free!

Karen, it’s good to know I’m not alone in this view. What a pathetic world we live in. We don’t buy anything, we’re sold everything - and we seem to be perfectly happy with that state of being. Nature does wonders beyond comprehension without any money through Her natural economy, but with our artificial, money-driven economy all we seem able to do is create endless, useless novelty that actually destroys natural economy as well as any sense of it from our consciousness. Why do we so passively insult and degrade ourselves like this? Why do people like this who see humans as nothing more than targets not make us angry? I suppose it makes it easier for us to insult and degrade the rest of the natural creation we’ve been blessed with. I’d be perfectly happy if they used Elon Musk’s new rockets to shoot all these flippin’, hyper-motivated, mind-robbing ad-men straight into the heart of the Sun. Not really, I suppose, but metaphorically speaking, that’s what I’ve done with them in my own personal life. I’m done with being their target.

I understand where you are coming from, but at the end of the day, a man/woman has to be able to feed himself and his children. Doing things "good for the environment" or teaching people "how to forgive each other" seem, to me , to be luxurious hobbies, that one can indulge in only AFTER the money has been made and the wolves are being kept from the door. very few of the celebrites and rich people who make a big deal about contributing to the problems you are pointing out, actually did any of that , until they were rich and secure. For most people the priority must be take care of ME and MINE first; then try to help others. I wish the world were different but it isn't.

Seth you are a genius. I love this talk and delighted to have found it again!

Seth is arguably the one guy who people would legitimately climb to the mountain to talk to. Brilliant. Well researched. And Inspiring. Thank you Seth.

I'm Just discovering Seths work and i'm loving it..Sometimes when we get stuck in an industry or market we lose focus on other ideas we can use in our business..I suppose fusing other methods to get in touch with people & finding out how to solve their problems and be relevant to them

ASU Venture Devil Here. Seth Godin is awesome in beginning with a demand for the young entrepreneurs to stop stealing ideas, stop copying their homework, and actually dream a better future. This down to earth reflection on how to get the dream to spread is a needed supplement to the practicality of keeping a dream alive. It is the new idea, or the "remarkable dream" that will spread. With limited time, people will not pay any attention to something that is the same as what they've seen before. It also insinuates a redirection away from standard corporate practices, and "safe investment" thinking. Shooting for mainstream is a sure way to be ignored and forgotten. Being one of the better speakers for entrepreneurs, I am monitoring every talk he gives.

Who else is watching in 2022? This video still tell us the right way on MKT. Seth always genious.

My favorite TEDGlobal speaker so far has been Alain de Botton, the philosopher for the knowledge worker. He mused about the "sorrows and pleasures of work" (the title of his latest book), our ever-more complex careers (formerly known as lives), the quintessential question of the 21st century (“what do you do?”), snobbery (“taking a small piece of someone to form a vision of who he is”), the direct relationship between proximity and envy ("proximity is the prerequisite for envy"), tragedy as a h

Seth Godin is a master visionary marketer his insights are so helpful and inspiring. I am very grateful for his insights.

My challenge is know to bring your insights into my own project of sending a few moments of peace and calm out into the world. Your knowledge will certainly help me to find ways of encouraging others to feel the positive energy of this project and come on board to help spread it further. Thank you very much for sharing this knowledge and also thanks to TED for facilitating it's distribution. Johnnie Lawson

the best part of Seth is that he really does understand the ego and common behavior within a consumer society.

Everybody should also pair watching this video with videos that teach how to put very interesting and very helpful information. This is still why a lot of people are interested in a particular website. No one can take shortcuts in this industry. The stronger the foundation of a website, the better it will be.

what! just realize after watching the whole video and this is 16 years ago?! oh yeah i forgot because it is remarkable.

Social media is one good way of exchanging newest ideas in so many level.

Maybe the most thoughtful video on national advertising I've ever seen. I'm now addicted to TED.

I love how TED place their advertisement at the end of the video. KZread should follow this practice. It's truly non evil. I would watch the advertisement because I like the video enough to watch it to the end. Advertisement in the beginning only interrupt our desire to view the content.

the first TED i have actualy watched all the way through.

Thanks for sharing this - some good points that are still relevant today.

This was one of the best TED's I have heard so far... Dang...this guy is good!

14 years and still inspiring!

Genius. Thanks Seth. Yet another great bunch of insights from you

i like that Ted have ads at the end of their videos instead of shoving them down your throat at the start like some. Sometimes i'll take the time to watch them because of that.

WOW. I see it now. Thanks TED X and Seth Godin. Much to unpack and grasp.

Super insightful, as always. Seth is awesome.

Amazing - Seth made this TED six weeks before the iPhone was introduced. KZread and Facebook were very new. Everything changed - everything has changed and will change.

This video is very informational. If you have an idea and don't spread it, then chances are that idea won't make any profit. Be creative, write the vision, and watch the profits come rolling in.

Another great presentation from Seth!

What an amazing man! Really inspiring

Seth, brilliant as always :) Thank you.

Thank you for sharing this video. Love it!

At the end he made a book about it. The great marketer!

I could watch Ted Talks all day. This was a great discussion.

GREAT VIDEO LOVED IT -As Zig Ziglar said The Fruit is OUT on the Limb Not Next to The Tree ... also an old saying " If You are Selling What Everyone Else is Who Needs You? IDEAS - YES it's all about IDEAS - You may get rejection - Heck Thomas Edison was asked "How does it Feel to Fail 1,000 Times?" in his creation of the Electric Light Bulb, his perfect answer " I did not Fail 1,000 Times it took 1,000 Steps to Find the Solution.

This is so true. Without spreading the idea nothing happens

This is my first time to listen to Seth Godin. Now I know why people listen.

The ideas that were presented in this video were pretty accurate and the world does not have to agree with it. People have different preferences. Each time they connect their selves to the Internet, they will find something that will actually interest them. Those who have lots of free time will definitely touch lots of niches.

Please spread the word. Thank you.

Very good Seth Awsome stuff

Would love to see a part 2

Great video very informational and inspiring🙌👍👌👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉🎉

Seth, You just inspired me. I'm going to go upload that 29 Step Social Media Pro Checklist Vid on my channel now. THanks!

Yes... That´s right. Convencional media no longer works as they used to. The only thing that really matters is: have a good and true story, tell your story, surprise people. Be remarkable. Great message,great video.

This must be one of the most important TED talks ever, atleast according to me.

Very good leucture here. Don't know if you read these things or not but, keep up the awesome job here. The Faceless Guru

He made a very interesting point of targeting towards the niche market and not the average people which counteracts the very natural and almost unanimous marketing plan
