Here’s why your marketing sucks

If you’ve ever bothered that your emails or content are not interesting enough, not getting enough attention and/or engagement …

Or maybe you suffer from the infamous “graymail” …

Or maybe you think your writing is just plain terrible …

Then you can use the “Trump tip” to help you.

Here’s what I mean:

Almost every time Trump is mentioned in the media, he is almost always “fighting”.

Whether with another candidate, another country or a group of people.

It is always a conflict.

And it gets him more attention than he probably needs.

And like the saying goes: “All attention is good attention”.

But what does this have to do with you?

Well, here’s what: Conflict sells.

Humans love conflict.

We might not like to be in the middle of one, but we love to hear stories about people fighting, arguing or attacking each other.

It gets attention, engagement and as a result, sales.

And this is how you can use it in your marketing:

Simply pick a group of people, an ideology or a piece of advice you think is harmful or maybe just bullsheet.

Then pick a fight with it.

Simply outline the idea or piece of advice you think is terrible and tear it down.

Mock it if you will.

Let people know why you think it is bad or what the better alternative is.

That way you’re creating conflict, being helpful (i.e. preventing your people from taking bad advice) and also making sales at the same time.

If your marketing sucks, it’s probably because you’re not using enough conflict.

Mo’ drama, mo’ sales

The bad side of running 2 businesses that are in the “zero to one” stage (like I am doing), is that you have split focus. Tbh, it’s not very wise and I won’t advise you to do it. It’s better to concentrate all your atten

Apophenia

I learnt a new word recently: Apophenia. It’s the human tendency to see patterns where none exist. Apophenia is one of the many reasons why people are addicted to gambling. They begin to see patterns that are not there and belie
