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! Cheers, Minosh PS: These 10 podcasts are a must-listen if you're thinking about starting a business in 2024! |
Online business and marketing insights from what's working out there, researched and handed to you every Thursday.
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...
Everyone’s excited that AI is driving purchases now. People are asking ChatGPT what to buy, and it’s actually recommending products. That part is true. What nobody’s talking about is what happens right after. New research looked at how Gen Z actually shops with AI, and they found that 48% of Gen Z buyers had already purchased something an AI recommended. But 43% had also switched to a different brand specifically because of how a brand used AI. Thing is, we assume younger buyers will tolerate...
