How to turn your marketing into a money machine: examples of solid marketing
As Claude Hopkins presented in his Scientific Advertising many
Decades ago, there were scientific ways to track your Marketing and
Advertise and determine clearly and unequivocally what works and
no. Without knowing the facts about what is actually
increasing your leads and subsequently your sales success, you may
also literally throwing money out the window.
All you have to do is reflect on your own Marketing to realize the truth in
the old statement: 90% of advertising doesn’t work, the problem is,
what 90%? If you could identify and take advantage of the 10% that works,
you would really have the power in your hands. Well, the fact is that you can.
Below are examples of Marketing that you can track. But don’t stop after
implement! If the results are not analyzed on an ongoing basis, and
consequently, what works is not repeated, you will be back at that 90%
empty.
A powerful announcement
A good ad should follow these guidelines to reach its maximum
potential and performance beyond your expectations:
1. Don’t make it look like an ad! The more it looks like the post
in itself, the better results you will see. That’s why an advertorial, an advertisement
that looks like news or editorial, it’s such a powerful device.
2. Use a strong headline. This takes a lot of time and
effort. As Hopkins himself said, he would spend most of his time in the
headline, discarding many along the way. Only after having a
bulletproof headline, I’d continue with the rest.
4. Tell a story. Give readers a story that engages them, with which they
you can really connect.
5. Make it newsworthy. You wouldn’t read the newspaper or your favorite
magazine if the content wasn’t newsworthy, right? The same goes for a
add. Let it be substantial and important.
6. Include an offer. This is your chance to get them to do something!
Offer something they can’t resist and make them drink
action… now. If you offer nothing, you greatly minimize the
chances of making the sale. Think about it: what are the chances that
they will be ready to buy from you the instant they meet
your advertisement? Answer: extremely low!
7. Make it easy for people to contact you. 24/7 is ideal, but otherwise,
make your phone, email, or other access extremely
Direct and receptive. Never intimidate your audience in
any way when interacting with them, so they always feel
comfortable and careful.
8. Have a monitoring mechanism. And this is the last key element.
You must follow your success! This is how you can be a scientist in your
approach, and what will ultimately reveal whether your tactic is in fact
successful or not
You can track through a telephone extension, indicating a Department in
your address, or through a URL. Tracking activity on a URL (web address) is
extremely easy these days, and extremely powerful.
Generation and monitoring of leads on the Web
Lead generation is how you collect leads as time goes by,
forming the audience that you will stay in front of over time, in other words,
you future customers. The Web, if used correctly, can generate
tremendously for you. And through automation, follow up on those leads

The important thing is to attract them on each page of your site through an offer.
which asks them to submit their email address. don’t let them go
without doing it! Like an advertisement, visitors often walk by and
not likely to return. Give them an article or other useful information.
that will give you permission to stay in touch.
Once visitors have opted in, it stores their email addresses for future
(and frequent) communications. Staying in communication may seem
this:
* A monthly newsletter that you send out. This doesn’t have to be hard
work! You may have a short function that you or someone on your team
write monthly. Then you can supplement with a lot of free content
which is available on the internet.
* An article of interest. This brings up a topic of interest to your audience and
educate them You are not selling what you do, but talking about it, or
your industry, or some area that is intriguing to your readers. You
position yourself as your perfect choice, but without the in-your-face
sales tactic!
* Recommended. Very powerful, since you are sharing information.
freely, building trust and strengthening your bond. recommendations
may include a good book (on investing, good business practices,
be), a piece of software, or a performance improvement tool.
* A link to an informative area of your site. You can also point them to a
new area of your site–informative, of course, never brag about
what you do or who you are (think of the diversion this takes for you as
consume). By taking them to a page or area that is useful to their
visitor, you are sharing and educating. If they choose to navigate
and learn more about you and your product or services–well, that’s
always your choice.
This way, you stay in front of your prospects, and you do it
with useful materials. They will appreciate it, and in constant giving
them information that benefits them, you stand out as the expert and
reliable source. Which means the odds are in your favor of getting the sale.
