The Marketing Genius Behind Jake Paul: Lessons We Can All Learn

With the big fight Friday night, there’s been alot of opinions being thrown around online about Jake Paul.

Well…if you are a marketer(or working towards becoming one), there are a ton we can observe and learn.

So put any negative troll thoughts aside (anyone that trolls only stays stuck), put on your marketing glasses because he’s doing a few things we can all learn and implement immediately. 

Picture this for me… a teenage Jake Paul, lip-syncing and dancing his heart out to a popular tune, no microphone in sight. He’s having fun, letting loose, and sharing it with the world. Years later, the clip resurfaces, and some haters take aim, trying to turn it into a punchline and endless memes poking fun at him. 

Here’s the clip…

Here’s the thing:

The video wasn’t cringy. (Maybe a little, that's why its amazing!)

Jake wasn’t ashamed then, and he’s not about to let the critics get under his skin now. 

Could you imagine if he QUIT because someone didn't like this clip when he was a teenager? 

Could you imagine if he let the worry and the “what ifs” control his actions? 

He would probably be in some office cubicle hating his life right now if he had…He would have let others BURY HIS POTENTIAL and DREAMS.

And that, my friends, is a lesson in boldness that every entrepreneur, whether you're a newbie or seasoned pro, needs to understand.

Jake Paul has made waves for many reasons, but the core of his success is simple: he’s consistently willing to take risks, stand out, and never back down from putting himself out there. 

Love him or hate him…as an entrepreneur you gotta have mad respect because his game is spot on. 

Back then, it was a fun, out of the box video that got him views and was at the infancy of his online presence. 

Today, it’s the same approach…

whether facing public criticism, entering the boxing ring, or launching a new venture. 

Jake has mastered the art of showing up and tuning out the noise.

And so can you.

Here’s what every entrepreneur, from fresh-faced newbies to seasoned marketers, can learn:

  1. Haters Gonna Hate, Marketers Gotta Create. The more you put yourself out there, the more you’ll encounter people who want to tear you down. But their opinions aren’t your business…your growth is. Jake’s commitment to his craft, regardless of public opinion, is exactly what it takes to succeed. And remember – he has build an audience of raving fans! Which also means a bigger target for those that aren't his target demographic. 
  2. Commitment to Boldness Never Ends. For seasoned entrepreneurs, this clip serves as a reminder: success is never the result of playing it safe or blending in. It’s about pushing the envelope, trying new things, and being bold. If you’ve reached a level of comfort, it’s time to shake things up again. Stay bold, think outside the box, and keep redefining your limits.
  3. Have Fun and Stand Proud. Let’s not overlook the most important part: teenage Jake wasn’t trying to be “cool.” He was having fun, being unapologetically himself, and sharing joy. When you approach your work this way, creating with passion, embracing authenticity, your audience will feel it. Genuine connection trumps perfection every time.

This viral clip isn’t just a moment from Jake Paul’s past, it’s a glimpse and reminder for every new entrepreneur that you MUST start, you MUST take action, you MUST not have a worry about what anyone else's opinion.

Whether it’s your first reel, a risky campaign, or a big leap in your strategy, never let the worry of what others might say or think keep you from taking action. 

In a world of critics…

Those willing to be bold and relentless are the ones who move forward.

So, what’s the takeaway? 

Post the video. 

Try the unconventional campaign. 

Be bold and have fun along the way. 

When you’re willing to show up unapologetically, the opinions of others fade into background noise.

Now, it’s your turn. 

What bold move have you been putting off because of fear? 

Take a page from Jake Paul’s playbook and give it everything you’ve got. 

Critics may come and go, but the fearless are the ones who make a mark and LAST online and in business.
