One of my favorite marketing concepts is "The Slippery Slope" where you capture people's attention, give them great content, then get them to take an action:
 |
The absolute best way to get people down the Slippery Slope is by using the AIDA Formula:
It can step-by-step slide people down that Slippery Slope for you!

Checkout our post on the AIDA Formula you can see how to sell stuff, even stuff like a helicopter 😎

Wisdom:
Here's a tough lesson I learned on our last email:
It got a 4% email open rate (that's absurdly low), and we investigated what happened and it turns out:
I put a screenshot of our email intake form and linked it to a form, so Gmail viewed this as a fake form and phishing attempt.
Big lesson learned 🙄

Interesting:
In 2023 you'd have to combine the top 5 highest viewed episodes of television shows, just to equal just one mid-sized episode of Seinfeld 😮
 |
This random episode they are comparing is not even in the top 50 most popular episodes of Seinfeld either:
 |
One thing to note is that viewership of a show nowadays is probably spread over TV broadcasts, internet streamers and social media....so it's difficult to calculate FULL viewership.

I miss this form of blogging about events!
My first blog was called Neville's Financial Blog, and I miss aspects of the original blogging days like people doing full re-caps of events like this!

I had a dumb idea: The Hustle's old office sign is still up in Austin. They moved out of that office but it's sitting empty in a very high traffic area, with no sign letters on it.

Should I buy a pack of letters and put my own ad on it? 😂 😂

Splurge:
The new “Sell a course” is “Sell a community.”
Course sales are lumpy based on launches, communities can level that out with recurring revenue.
With a digital community the 3 factors that change income are:
- Price
- Time stayed
- Number of Customers
This chart shows sample revenue of a community size from 100 to 1,200:

This chart shows revenue of a community priced from $10/mo to $200/mo:

Hope you enjoyed these Friday tid-bits!
