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.

Online business and marketing insights from what's working out there, researched and handed to you every Thursday.
You know how everyone starting an online business tries to appeal to everyone? Their about page says they help teens, parents, office workers, and retirees. Their product does five things. Their content covers whatever felt interesting that week. And I get it. Saying no to a type of customer feels like leaving money on the table. Thing is, Coca-Cola just proved the opposite. Mr. Pibb, a soda that has existed since 1972, became the fastest-growing brand of 2026. Not a new product, not a viral...
Everyone says their thing saves you time. Or saves you money. Or cuts your costs in half. And yeah, it sounds good. It feels like a responsible thing to say, especially when you’re just starting out and don’t want to come off as pushy. Thing is, “saves money” is actually one of the weakest ways to describe what you offer. And I don’t mean weak like unclear. I mean weak like it physically limits how much people are willing to pay you. Here’s why. When someone hears “this saves you money,”...
Everyone talks about how to get subscribers. How to grow the list, run the launch, get to 100 paying customers. Nobody really talks about what happens after. I saw a story from a freelance illustrator who started a subscription box of her own artwork for $19.99 a box. Good quality prints, nice packaging, real effort. She ran it for six months and then closed it. The reason wasn’t bad marketing. The product was good. People liked it. Thing is, after she added up quality prints, packaging, the...
