βοΈ Copy First to Find Your SaaS's Voice
- Artists come create media based on what they want to express. But these ideas are always inspired by something.
- On the other end, executives make media based off metrics, which are also inspired by something in the market.
- "Start copying what you love. At the end of the copy, you will find yourself." -Japanese fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto
- Rewriting content is like a mechanic taking apart a car to reverse engineer how it works.
- You can often find your voice by copying things that already work and innovating in areas to make it your own.

π How to Leverage High-Intent Keywords for Sales
- "Search intent" is the reason why someone is searching for something, and what they hope to accomplish when they find it.
- If you don't understand your users intent, your marketing strategies will likely not perform well.
- Types of search intent...
- Informational: "How to..." or "What is..."
- Navigational: "Stripe login"
- Transactional: "Price of..." or "Buy a ..."
- Commercial: "Reviews for..." or "Cheapest..."
- Utilizing high-intent keywords will make it easier to target qualified leads.
- Don't target informational keywords like "what is..." as the user probably isn't ready to buy anything.
- Research competitor rankings
- Target high intent keywords like "Best...", "(competitor) vs", etc. Target keywords that signify the user is actually ready to buy.

𧲠Build a Customer Magnet
- "Magnetic Marketing" is about how to get your ideal customers/clients with a reliable marketing system.
- Real metrics of success: 1% create great amounts of wealth, 4% do great, 15% earn a living, 60% have massive financial problems, and 20% fail.
- Make yourself the go-to person for the problem you're trying to solve. Answer the question: why should consumers choose you over your competitors?
- Can you serve a niche in your market in a way no one else can/will?
- Don't think you can just advertise anywhere. Go straight to where your ideal customer is.
- Craft a marketing system that: generates leads, converts leads into customers, and generates new leads from referrals.
- Do not spend any $1 on market that doesn't directly lead to $2 or $20.
- Target your market efforts on personas that are most likely to respond.
- What is your audience most frustrated about? What is the biggest problem you can solve for them?
- Tie offers to a hard deadline to encourage quick responses rather than getting sidelined and forgotten.
- Every time something goes great, ask for a referral from your customer.

βΎοΈ How to Generate Infinite Content Marketing Ideas
- Set a timer for 2 hours and step away from your screen. Stepping away from the current focus can help you generate new ideas in a new context.
- Set a timer for 30 minutes and write down everything, even the bad ideas. Don't edit or remove anything until the 30 minutes is up.
- Always save every single idea in a backlog over time. Revisit ideas you had days or even months ago. Sometimes you can find things that weren't useful then, but maybe you have a new take on it now.
- After creating a list of ideas, create multiple articles for each one, with each article covering a different emotional response you're trying to get. (Happy, surprised, inspired, etc.)
- Look at what other industries are creating content about. Repurpose their ideas in your own industry.
- Create content based on DMs or emails. If people are asking you, there may be plenty of other people searching for the answer as well.
- Turn successful viral posts and threads into longer FAQ content. Expand on ideas and questions.
