Marketing Truth learned from @AlexHormozi: make your free stuff better than their paid stuff. Because if your free stuff is providing more value than paid stuff from competitors, consumers perceive the probability high that your paid stuff is worth it

Marketing truth: Use easy language! Just run your copy through ChatGPT and have it rewritten at a 3rd-grade reading level.. You’ll be surprised by the increase in engagement

Position your product by asking: what hope or desire of the customer does this ad tap into?

The “Rule of 7” states that customers are more likely to buy when they encountered the brand 7+ times before. This is why you should post every day. Repetition builds trust.

“Don’t sell the plain flight, sell the vacation” or “People don’t buy a quarter-inch drill. They want a quarter inch hole!” (Prof Levitt) are two famous quotes pointing at the same marketing truth: don’t focus on the feature, focus on the value

Advertising legend David Ogilvy understood:

„The problem with market research is that people don’t think what they feel, they don’t say what they think, and they don’t do what they say.“

I am way to perfectionistic. I'll focus on improving the roundness of a button while ignoring the fact that I have zero customers. How do you stay focused on what actually matters?

Indie-devs, great news: Tencent just released a powerful open-source video generation model. I’ve tested it and got great results—high-quality video ads are now much cheaper to make!

Any tips on testing ideas fast to find my audience?
