Pause and ponder about a blog article on Hubspot which shares a case study from a customer who did both a TV Superbowl ad and inbound marketing with a blog.  The Hubspot article is aggressive with assumptions to make a point and the other is out to break down the inaccuracies of the first, point by point.  Both have good points to make, factpinions, and both challenge the status quo.

At the end of the day, you evaluate.  You studied hard, practiced, trained, and had the very best execution.  Perfect in every way, you say the right words, look perfect and there is nothing you would change.  The website is attractive and the packaging is glorious (from your viewpoint).  The offer is astounding and the feedback from your friends and associates is "go for it".  Everything is perfect and you strut confidently knowing that you are "the one and only".

You are told from those who achieved success:  "Stick with it.  Don't give up.  Persevere."  There are no signs which say your idea and investment will the path to success. 

The recent addition to Hubspot's plethora of inbound marketing tools is Marketing Grader.  Marketing Grader could be said to be a replacement for website grader except that it approaches evaluating marketing from a new perspective.
