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.

There’s a version of the plan that sounds really good. You write blog posts. They rank on Google. People find you, some of them buy. It’s called content marketing, it’s been the go-to advice for ten years, and if you’ve been told to “just start a blog,” this is basically what they meant. Thing is, the math changed. SparkToro published research earlier this year using Similarweb data, and one number really got my attention. 68% of Google searches in 2026 end without anyone clicking through to...
Shopify ran a study with The Harris Poll across five countries this year. And there was one number I just couldn’t stop thinking about. 93% of people in the US say they feel at least somewhat ready to start a business. More than half say they could start today. And yet they haven’t. So the problem isn’t readiness. You get stuck in a cycle of “feeling ready.” You just keep reading and watching a little more. You are waiting for that one moment where everything makes sense. Then, before you...
When most people start a business, they have a pretty clear mental image of what “being ready” looks like. A website that looks decent. A logo. Maybe a social profile that’s at least halfway filled out. And I get it. Those things feel like proof. Proof that you’re real, that you’re not just talking about doing something. I found a survey of 500 marketers that came out earlier this year, and one number in it that I wasn’t expecting. Most people had already decided if they were going to contact...
