[01:38] Meeting a Legend:

  • Michael Masterson wrote “Ready, Fire, Aim,” a book I often recommend.
  • He helped grow a company called Agora to be worth $1.6 billion through smart marketing.
  • I got to meet him at his private club, and he even signed some of his books for me.

[02:45] Why “Great Leads” Is a Must-Read:

  • The book “Great Leads” teaches about using a strong hook to grab attention in ads.
  • It helps you understand that different people know different amounts about what you’re selling.
  • With emails, you can try out many hooks to see which one works best.
  • Focus your message on one main idea for the best effect

[04:16] Keep It Clear and Simple:

  • Focus on one key benefit of your product to make your message clear and impactful.
  • Appeal to an emotion to connect with your audience effectively.
  • Avoid overloading your message with too many benefits; it confuses people and can lead to fewer conversions.

[05:10] How to Get More People Interested: 

  • Make your ads personal. When ads feel special for someone, they work better.
  • Don’t use the same message for everyone. Ads that talk directly to someone’s interests are more successful.
  • Show different things in your ads. Some can be exciting, some can be about family, and some about luxury.
  • Use scenes that connect with where people are from, like showing sunny beaches to people in cold cities.
  • Run multiple ads simultaneously to catch the interest of different kinds of people all at once.

[06:38] The Power of Curiosity:

  • Curiosity grabs attention better than fear, love, or self-interest.
  • Using curiosity can keep people reading your content longer because they want to find out more.
  • Examples of effective curiosity use include discussing results without revealing the exact methods.
  • In a recent live discussion, the guest kept details secret, making the audience eager and frustrated, showing curiosity’s impact.
  • Curiosity is especially effective in markets where consumers are well-informed and seek new information.
