Copywriting Hack:

Use anchoring in your copy.

Instead of saying: “This product is $97”.

Say: “This product is well worth over $397, but you can get it for only $97 today (that’s a $300 difference)”.

Perceived value goes up & perceived cost goes down → The # of sales goes up.

Don't overlook branded queries, they're part of your customer's search journey and well leveraged by aggregators/comparisons sites!

Target queries like: "brand" + reviews/comparisons/vs/alternatives/app

These are users already researching your brand before converting 👇

To improve your conversion rate, your above-the-fold needs to earn the scroll.

Because without earning the scroll, you won’t earn the sale.

It's easy to be anti-meeting. It's hard to do thorough async reporting/updates (that also get read and debated by the group) that'd replace meetings.

I'm very pro-async, but it's hard to do right as it's easy to skip, ignore or simply do a quick glance-over.
