Copywriters,

Keep your promises tangible.

Don’t say “Get a better smile”, say “Fix your teeth in 12 months or less”.

Don’t say “Lose fat”, say “Lose 10lbs in your first 12 weeks”

Don’t say “Get better skin”, say “30% less blackheads in the first week”.

Tangibility sells.

My grandma died yesterday and I’m heartbroken. She raised me since I was 1 yr old and we lived together until I left Nicaragua when I was 24. I find consolation in the thousands of times I told her I loved her, including the last time we spoke. RIP IME ❤️ Always in my heart.

With our classic "tshirt" t-shirt we wanted to create the "if you know - you know" effect.

It doesn't have AHREFS logo plastered all over it.
It doesn't turn anyone wearing it into a walking billboard for the company.

It's just a subtle hint that the owner is into SEO (*wink)

Learning TikTok Ads is cool.

Learning YouTube is cool.

Learning email marketing is cool.

But you should understand what motivates and drives people first.

Then learn the platforms.

That will separate you as a marketer.

Up until a week ago, searching for “King Charles” on Google got you results for the dog breed (cute).

But since the Queen died (9/8) and King Charles III became king, Google shows a different search result.

The reason is keyword freshness, one of the biggest factors in SEO.

It’s a mistake to assume that everyone that would want to read your content just happened to be online at the same time as you tweeted it.

Reshare. Retweet. Repost.

Create once. Distribute forever.

If you remove the logo, would others recognize you?

That’s why *brand voice* matters.

It identifies YOU and creates an “it’s ME!” moment for the audience. #CMWorld

I've learned more from Audible than I did from my college degree which left me $50,000 in debt.

In fact.

I learned so much from Audible I built a massive business, secured my financial future for my family and paid off my student loans 20+ years early.

Crazy times.
