Welcome to the newest edition of the Uncommon Advice Newsletter!

Behind the Marketing

In the marketing world, it's tempting to fixate on surface metrics.

Cost Per Click (CPC) and opt-in rates often steal the limelight.

However, let's not forget the real ticket:

Earnings Per Click.

As competition tightens and traffic costs rise, we have two paths to keep the numbers up:

The Caveman approach:

Pump more dollars into campaigns, hoping profit margins hold. This strategy, however, is susceptible to market shifts.

The Digital Samurai way:

Optimize existing resources and refocus on:

1. Prospect/Problem Splintering: Target specific audience pain points. Build trust and lead them to your tailored solutions.
   
   

2. Sales Creation: Utilize pain-logic-gain content. Streamline the sales journey, making every interaction count.
   
   

3. Continuous Engagement: After the sale, keep delivering value. Transition from a mere vendor to a trusted authority.

Moral of the story:

Don’t get bogged down by front-end data drama.

Prioritize genuine engagement and strategic refinement.

True success lies in wielding data intelligently, ensuring sustainable growth.

“Sell the Sizzle, Deliver the Steak”

Remember, when it comes to your marketing approach:

Sell the sizzle, deliver the steak.

This powerful marketing principle emphasizes allure and substance.

The "sizzle" is the buzz, excitement, and anticipation a brand creates through its campaigns.

It's the emotional pull, the promise, and the dream that marketers dangle before consumers.

It's more than just selling a product – you’re selling a feeling.

However, this is only half the equation.

Once the consumer is captivated by the sizzle, it's paramount that the brand delivers the "steak"— an actual robust, high-quality product that fulfills the promises made in your marketing.

If the sizzle is all about catching attention, the steak ensures retention and trust.

Without the steak, the sizzle becomes empty hype.

Together, they exemplify a perfect blend of marketing strategy and product excellence.

Uncommon Advice: Embrace Challenges, Thrive in Discomfort

In life's vast arena, we all encounter challenges.

And when we’re met with obstacles, people typically fall into one of two categories:

Those who detour, seeking easier pathways…

And those who square up and face them head-on.

Our brains are conditioned to opt for the path of least resistance.

After all, conserving energy and avoiding stress have been evolutionary tactics for survival.

Yet what if you're looking to do more than just survive?

Here's where the heart steps in, guiding us to confront challenges and relish the discomfort.

To thrive, you need to retrain your mind to actively seek out demanding tasks and find joy in overcoming them.

Albert Einstein once said, “It’s not that I’m so smart, it's that I stay with problems longer.” 

This suggests that persistence, rather than mere intelligence, is the key to innovation.

So, here's my uncommon advice:

Marinate in your challenges. 

Embrace discomfort until the only viable solution is to mend what's broken and emerge stronger.

It requires rewiring your mindset to ditch the constant escape routes and abandon your safety nets.

Commit from day one, adapting and maneuvering through adversity.

Instead of rigidly sticking to a plan, become fluid—seeking out even the tiniest opportunities, and capitalizing on them.

Rooting for ya!
