Here are 5 more tips you need to know:
1. FR EXPERT TIP:
Have you ever wondered what the secret to hypnotic copy is?
Copywriting and funnel building expert George P told me recently one of the fastest ways to create scintillating, must-read copy is to add a story.
But not just any story...
Typically, a high number of people lose interest before the end of your email, video, or blog post.
Therefore, your conversions suffer. But, this formula from South Park writers Trey Parker and Matt Stone will keep them glued till the end.
It's called 'The but... therefore... rule.'
Most stories go something like, 'this happened, and this happened, and then this happened.' This may reflect what happened, but it's very boring for the reader.
Change your stories to... 'this happened, THEREFORE this happened, BUT this happened, THEREFORE this happened!'
And suddenly, you've created tension and unpredictable open loops. Therefore your reader/viewer consumes to the end because they are subconsciously driven to close the loops. But, rather than feel stressed and overwhelmed, they perceive it as a fantastic story. Therefore, their affection for you grows.

3. TIP FROM A FELLOW COMMUNITY MEMBER:
Would you like to tap into creative ideas for your business and gain a ton of stress-reducing, motivation-increasing clarity in the process?
If so, GianLuca Masciangelo says you need to start exploiting the power of a pencil and paper:
'While working as a freelance Art Director and Designer in large advertising agencies in Rome and London, I learned from the masters of great creative ads of the 70s and 80s that you should always sketch your idea fully on paper first.
It was game-changing.
I used to jump in and create things straight away. However, I realized that if you get everything on paper first, you'll actually save so much time, and you'll also be able to deliver the best imaginative and effective solution.
Here is an example, I am studying a solution for some companies that want to sell their physical products online more effectively than with classic Ecommerce systems:
If you want to have a better overview of any process, I suggest starting on paper because you'll be able to visualize every step and see right away if the path is the right one.
Hope you find it helpful.
Best, Gian'
4. MARKETING TIP OF THE WEEK:
What would you say is the most underutilized method for increasing conversions?
Digital Marketer's Perry Belcher would tell you it's including a premium in your offer.
At FHL, Perry (a fantastic marketer) told the story of how the magazine 'Sports Illustrated' was on the verge of bankruptcy. They couldn't sell magazine subscriptions for love nor money...
One day, while wandering around New York, marketing manager Martin Shampaine came up with the idea of giving away a football phone with every subscription. This one premium changed everything.
Between 1986 and 1991, the magazine sold around 1.6 million new subscriptions, saving the company and putting the football phone on the map.
What premium could you include in your offer?
