Hey Reader, Can you believe it's another Thursday already? Time flies, right? Today, I would like to share something incredibly valuable with you – a content formula that has the potential to make a significant impact on your emails, social media posts, ads, and even your blogs and website copy. Ever heard of the P.W.A.T. formula? P.W.A.T. stands for Problem, Wish, Answer, and Tease. Let me break it down for you:
I've used this formula many times, and it works. Here's a breakdown of each part with a simple example: Imagine you run a blog about personal productivity, and you're planning to write a post discussing the topic of time management. Problem: Many people struggle with managing their time efficiently, which leads to stress and missed deadlines. "Have you ever felt overwhelmed by your to-do list and wished there were more hours in the day?" Wish: Your audience wishes they could manage their time better to be more productive and less stressed. "Wouldn't it be amazing if you could easily complete your tasks and still have time to relax?" Answer: You can manage your time better by using specific strategies and techniques. "The key to better time management lies in prioritizing tasks, setting clear goals, and avoiding distractions." Tease: Introduce a tool that helps with time management, like a productivity app. "One tool that can help you implement these strategies is the Todoist app, which allows you to organize your tasks, set priorities, and track your progress effortlessly." In this example, the P.W.A.T. formula addresses the audience's problem, acknowledges their desires, provides a solution, and offers a practical tool to help them achieve their goals. This way, you can provide some great benefits for your readers while also promoting your own product or an affiliate product. When this happens, it ultimately leads to a higher chance of conversions taking place. So if you haven't been seeing any sales lately, it might be worth giving this a try!

Online business and marketing lessons from what's working out there, researched and handed to you every Thursday.
Most of us picture starting a business the same way. I mean, you pick a name, build the website, and then spend months (sometimes years) trying to get the first few customers to even notice you. Every time, you start with nothing. I was reading Business Insider the other day and found a story about a guy in Japan named Kengo Ohama. It kinda made me look at the whole thing differently. He’s 31 and always wanted to run a café. Earlier this year he found one listed on a business succession site....
Most of us were told the same thing at the start. Don’t go too niche, you’ll cut down your market. Sell to more people and you’ll get more sales. Sounds logical. But real life is starting to look different, maybe a lot. Shopify surveyed 18,000 shoppers across nine countries for its holiday report, and 65% said they’re likely to use AI for at least one shopping task this season. That’s not Google, not scrolling Amazon for an hour. They just describe what they need to ChatGPT or whatever they...
There’s a salt works in Malden, West Virginia. Population about 3,000 and surrounded by the Appalachian Mountains, sitting on top of an ancient ocean buried underground for hundreds of millions of years. A sister and brother revived their family’s salt business there in 2013. Everything is done by hand, brine pumped up from 350 feet below, dried in sun houses, raked, packaged, shipped right from the farm. A staff of fewer than a dozen people. Their salt ships to high-end restaurants in Tokyo...
