🎩 3 key steps for every piece of marketing
|
Welcome to another edition of our newsletter! In this edition, we will talk about the main parts of every marketing strategy in three easy steps: Getting Attention, Keeping Attention, and Turning Attention into Action. Let me explain what they actually mean: 👋 Grabbing Attention The first step in any marketing campaign is to grab the audience's attention. Think of your headline, subject line, or ad as a fishing hook. It's your first impression, and it needs to be compelling. Craft Powerful Headlines: Use strong, action-oriented language. Use Visuals: Images and videos can capture attention more effectively than text alone. Personalization: Tailor your messages to the audience's interests and needs. 🙌 Keeping Attention Once you've grabbed attention, the next challenge is to keep it. This is where your body copy, landing pages, and articles come into play. Engaging Content: Write in a conversational tone and keep paragraphs short. Storytelling: Use anecdotes and narratives to make your content relatable. Interactive Elements: Include quizzes, polls, and interactive infographics. Side note: You can use a tool like Interact for creating quizzes. 🤙 Turning Attention into Action The final step is converting that interest/attention into action. Your call-to-action (CTA) must be clear, compelling, and easy to follow. Strong CTAs: Use verbs that encourage action like "Join," "Download," or "Get Started." Simplify Forms: Reduce the number of fields to make email signing up easier. Offer Incentives: Provide discounts, free trials, or exclusive content. Until next time, keep your marketing simple and effective! Cheers, Minosh. PS: I made a free handbook explaining all the tools you need to run an online business.

Tesla built 360,000 versions of their car to sell online. Most of them never sold. Not because people didn’t want one. But the checkout had 64 clicks in it. And by the time someone got through half of it, choosing tire specs and interior colors and autopilot configurations, they were already exhausted before they even hit the payment screen. Jon McNeill, who ran Tesla’s sales at the time, only spotted this because he sat down and actually used the website himself. Not a report. Not a sales...
I was pretty close to buying AirPods. Not because I specifically needed AirPods, but because everyone has them, I mean, that’s just what came to your mind when you need earbuds, right? Made sense at the time. I watched YouTube reviews. A lot of them. And they were fine, I guess, but most of it was just unboxing videos and spec comparisons, and none of it answered what I actually needed to know: how long do AirPods last? Because where I am, spending that much on something that lasts two or...
Everyone says validate fast. Take pre-orders. Get paid before you build it. And I get why that sounds right. It feels like the safe move, like you’re being smart. But here’s the thing about taking money before you’re actually ready: you’re not just proving demand. You’re also creating a deadline. And if your product has any kind of complicated backend, like bulk inventory, overseas manufacturing, long shipping timelines, you just handed your first customers the ability to make your life...
