I used to think marketing was powerful, but with what I’ve seen in recent years I now have a new saying: Propaganda eats marketing for breakfast So what is propaganda?

Read MoreYou’ve heard about the 10,000 hour rule… And that to be an expert at anything, you need to put in the hours. But is it actually accurate? That would mean every accountant who had been doing their job for a decade or more, would be a “master.” It’s not the reality. So what’s the difference that […]

I’m in touch with a number of knowledgeable people in the investment space… And what’s interesting is, they all have different views of what’s coming next. Take bitcoin for instance.

Welcome to 2024… Something to consider this year: in a world buzzing with marketing hacks and trends, it’s easy to get swept away by the latest shiny object. However, sometimes, the most potent strategy is a classic one… The reality is that it’s five times easier to sell to an existing client than to acquire […]
Read MoreTurn the results into a case study. That’s right, make your client the HERO. For example, if I was a real estate agent like Adam Nobel at Hugo Alexander Group in Brisbane… Instead of doing what most agents are doing, and running ads along the lines of: John Stuart, Been in the Industry for X […]
Read MoreSomething that would make their jaw drop, which you’d like to warn them about? Then “the shock ahead” headline is the perfect hook… For instance, imagine you sell air-conditioners.

Read MoreThe before / after ad opening is not relegated to weight loss, and those in “visual” industries. Think about it: what everyone wants when they buy a product or service is to go from where they are to where they want to be. i.e. let’s say you offer SEO as a service like Peter B Butler from […]
Read MoreSometimes your potential client has tried to do all the right things but still failed to achieve their objectives. And they’re literally fed up. They’ve had enough. So when you enter this conversation, by calling it out, youcan instantly resonate with them. For instance, imagine you’re a fitness expert like Zac Mason Your headline could read: […]

Here’s the thing: our mind doesn’t think technically, it thinks in images. It also thinks in terms of what it’s familiar with, so if you want to explain that something is 57,600 […]
Read MoreI felt the pain instantly. Even though I’d dove into the rock pool dozens of times before, when I pushed my feet down… I ended up with a “rock splinter” in my big toe. It hurt. And if I had seen an ad on the way home which read: “If you have a rock splinter, […]
