    Podcast Summary

    • 12 essential measures for marketing optimizationTo boost per dollar revenue and conversions, optimize marketing systems and lists by focusing on delivering value, improving list quality, and measuring profitability.

      To increase per dollar revenue and conversions, marketers should focus on optimizing their marketing systems and lists. Justin Hit, a copywriter, shares his program, AI4, which includes 12 essential measures for marketing optimization. These measures prioritize delivering maximum value to customers, improving list quality, and measuring the profitability of each customer interaction. The goal is to ensure that customers receive valuable products or services that they are willing to pay for and return for, ultimately leading to increased revenue and customer loyalty. The measures also help identify and address technical issues or customer service problems. Overall, the focus is on long-term profitability and customer satisfaction.

    • Track and automate lead generation and nurturingUse Google UTM tracking code and marketing automation systems to evaluate channel and campaign performance, optimize efforts, and focus on high-quality leads. Automate initial engagement with a drip campaign for valuable insights.

      Effective lead generation and nurturing in direct response marketing relies on proper attribution, tracking, and automation. Cultivating lead sources through Google UTM tracking code and marketing automation systems helps marketers evaluate the performance of various channels and campaigns, enabling them to optimize their efforts and focus on high-quality leads. A single maintenance funnel, such as a drip campaign, automates the initial engagement process and provides valuable insights into open rates, click-through rates, and uptake rates, allowing marketers to continually improve their follow-up strategies.

    • Optimize marketing efforts with tracking pixels and analyticsMeasuring people who take action on confirmation pages and integrating e-commerce and analytics can significantly improve ROI, allowing for granular audience segmentation and valuable insights for optimization.

      Optimizing your marketing efforts by moving tracking pixels to confirmation pages and integrating e-commerce and analytics can significantly improve your ROI. By measuring people who take action, you can segment your audience and gain a more granular understanding of your pay-per-click campaigns. This technique is particularly effective for businesses with high traffic. Additionally, integrating e-commerce and analytics allows you to track revenue per lead and the results of every campaign, giving you valuable insights for optimization. Another key takeaway is the importance of understanding your audience through systems in place, such as prospect newsletters or follow-up solo mails, offering generic offers or asking questions to help motivate and start their purchase journey with your organization. This optimization technique can be "magic" with enough traffic, as it allows you to focus on people who take action rather than those who randomly visit your website. Lastly, the speaker emphasizes the importance of having systems in place to measure and optimize your marketing efforts, as this can lead to better money spent and improved ROI. By implementing these strategies, you can gain a deeper understanding of your audience and tailor your marketing efforts to their needs and motivations.

    • Linking multiple email addresses to a single customer accountEffectively track consumer behavior by associating multiple email addresses with a single customer account through login pages, marketing automation, and CRM systems. Refresh and update customer data regularly to ensure accuracy.

      To provide a seamless customer experience and effectively track consumer behavior across multiple devices, multiple email addresses must be associated with a single customer account. This can be achieved through various methods such as login pages, marketing automation, and CRM systems. It's crucial to have a deduplication routine in place to link multiple email addresses to the same account. Understanding the customer journey from opt-in to purchase is essential to replicate and target similar audiences effectively. Additionally, demographics gathered from different tools may vary, so it's important to refresh and update your customer data regularly. By implementing these strategies, businesses can enhance their marketing efforts and provide a more personalized customer experience.

    • Connecting platforms and tools for better marketing insightsLink Google Analytics to email lists, distinguish website visitors, and use pixels in email automation tools to gain a clearer understanding of your audience and improve marketing efforts, leading to higher conversion rates.

      Optimizing your marketing efforts by connecting various platforms and tools can significantly improve your understanding of your audience and enhance your targeting capabilities. This can be achieved by sending emails to your list to tag them with Google Analytics, structuring your website to distinguish prospects, inquiries, and buyers, and using a pixel in your email automation tool. By doing so, you can create a more accurate representation of your customer base, which can lead to more effective marketing campaigns and higher conversion rates. Additionally, involving your agency or vendor in these efforts can lead to even better results, as they will have access to valuable customer data and insights. Overall, taking the time to implement these strategies can help you reach and connect with the right people, ultimately driving business growth.

    • Maximize marketing efforts with email and website segmentationEffectively segmenting website traffic and email lists leads to personalized offers and communications, increased engagement, customer satisfaction, and targeted marketing campaigns.

      Effectively utilizing email marketing and website segmentation can significantly improve the value and effectiveness of your marketing efforts. By structuring your website to capture different types of traffic behavior and segmenting your email lists accordingly, you can tailor your offers and communications to better meet the needs and interests of your audience. This not only leads to increased engagement and customer satisfaction but also allows for more targeted and effective marketing campaigns. Additionally, implementing performance metrics and tracking user behavior can help you optimize your marketing strategy and get the most value from your list. While this process may involve some technical aspects, the end result is a more personalized and effective marketing approach that delights your customers and drives business growth.

    • Measuring marketing performanceTrack key metrics like cost per sale, profit per sale, revenue per name, and customer lifetime value to make informed decisions and optimize marketing efforts. Use multiple systems and contact channels for valuable insights and legal compliance.

      Measuring and analyzing performance metrics is crucial for growing your business and effectively engaging with your audience. By tracking key metrics such as cost per sale, profit per sale, revenue per name, and customer lifetime value, you can make informed decisions and optimize your marketing efforts. Additionally, having multiple systems in place and contacting your audience through various channels can provide valuable insights and help you avoid potential legal issues. Remember, having a list is not enough; you must have the right setup to ensure you can contact your subscribers and comply with privacy regulations. Don't guess or wonder about your marketing performance – gather and analyze the data to make informed decisions and improve your results. Stay tuned for more insights on the remaining performance metrics in the next podcast.

    • Maximizing sales through effective list segmentationSplitting large lists into smaller cells for targeted sales campaigns leads to increased list value, improved cash flow, and predictable customer behavior.

      Effective list segmentation is key to maximizing sales and understanding customer needs. By splitting a large list into smaller cells, marketers can conduct A/B tests and create targeted sales campaigns, leading to increased list value, improved cash flow, and predictable customer behavior. This approach allows businesses to tailor their offers to meet the specific needs, desires, and wants of their audience, resulting in better overall results. Justin Hit from Ad Briefing emphasizes the importance of this strategy, encouraging listeners to implement these 12 ways to boost sales and better serve their customers.

    A sure fire way to lose subscribers (and clients)
    Don't do this if you want more clients. I make this mistake all the time. It makes my life more difficult as a copywriter or marketer.

    The biggest takeaway is that "monthly regular, better than weekly irregular." When it comes to prospect communications, regular is better.

    Listen carefully if you use podcasting or periodic content to build your client list. My last episode was in December for one of my channels; now it is February.

    I wasn't slacking. I had billable client work, published in other channels, and been engaged elsewhere. Fortunately, I have so many channels, but I could see the drop in analytics.

    This is for freelance copywriters or marketers who feel overwhelmed by content creation. Remember, you aren't in the content business. You are in the business of marketing copywriting services.

    A $20k a Month Podcast, Is It Possible?

    A $20k a Month Podcast, Is It Possible?
    Do you have a high-traffic website but no revenue to show for it? That's typical for podcasts, YouTube channels, and content websites.

    You must do something different to earn $20,000 a year or more. That's what this episode is about. How to add additional streams of income to any periodic audio or video podcast.

    The office is so busy lately that I cannot get through a podcast without an inbound call. That's a great place to be. But not the kind of distraction I need.

    Start with understanding current earnings. Use a measure called CPM. This is "cost per mille" or "cost per thousand." The number doesn't matter; improve it each month.

    But advertising alone won't get you to $20,000 a month. That's where so many podcasters, influencers, and publishers make a huge mistake. As a copywriter or marketer, you can help.

    Triple Conversion Cleaning Up Content The Right Way

    Triple Conversion Cleaning Up Content The Right Way
    Stop wasting time chasing Google Search updates. Most websites can't convert traffic even if search engines send you traffic.

    Stop deleting content on a hunch chasing rankings. Instead, use a scientific approach that triples conversion.

    You're in the right place if you want double digital conversion rates and more cash flow from your business website.

    This approach looks at extracting best practices for lead and sales conversion. Then turns those best practices into better evergreen content.

    Evergreen content helps you draw consistent visitors and conversion. You'll have more predictable results for your business website.

    Unfortunately, many marketing managers choose to delete content rather than improve it. They look for quick wins without understanding how conversion rate optimization works.

    Copywriters and marketers can provide a valuable service in rewriting poor-performing content. This is value-added because you understand targeting.

    More importantly, as conversion rates increase, so can cash flow. Documenting best practices makes new content creation more predictable.

    I'm looking forward to your questions in the comments.

    Social Media Strategies That Silence Skeptics

    Social Media Strategies That Silence Skeptics
    How many times have you watched someone conquer one of your most difficult challenges with relative ease? I'm going through this experience right now while following Alan Rudnick's activities on social media. Thanks to his involvement on sites such as Facebook and Twitter, as well as frequent blogging, Alan is often featured in major media and has even secured a multi-book deal with a publisher. And get this ... he's not a conventional social media "guru." In fact, he doesn't even work in what many would consider a traditional business. He's the pastor at the First Baptist Church of Ballston Spa in Ballston Spa, New York. How cool is that? I repeatedly hear business owners and entrepreneurs claim social media won't work for them. Reasons range from the standard "My prospects are different." to "My industry doesn't lend well to social media." But Alan's achievements prove these theories wrong. During my 42-minute interview with Alan, you'll discover several social media strategies that silence skeptics, as well as ... • The best defense against falling into "social media fatigue" and how to ensure automated tools don't cause you to lose your personal touch with followers. • The surprisingly simple key to finding the most beneficial people to interact with on social networking sites (and why prospects aren't the only people needing your attention). • How leveraging a certain type of news event in your blog posts can help you boost readership and attract inquiries from major media. • The surest way to get a quick response from almost anyone you follow, including industry experts and well-known celebrities. • An easy approach to establishing yourself as an authority (and therefore a source media members want to interview) on global news topics. • Why having a large audience on social media can sabotage your success. • And much more.
