21
22
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,200
you're offering, and persuade them to take actions you want.

23
00:01:28,650 --> 00:01:34,380

23
24
00:01:34,380 --> 00:01:36,990
engines as a medium to reach potential customers.
24
25
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,210
Just like traditional marketing.

26

Digital marketing is about finding prospective customers and broadcasting your message to them in the
26
27
00:01:43,830 --> 00:01:46,560
right place, in the right tone, and at the right time.
27
28
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:52,260
Digital marketing has one major advantage over traditional marketing, as you can use analytics tools
28
29

to monitor your campaigns in real time so you can swiftly adjust your approach.
29
30
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,360
Typically, it would cost more and take longer to make these kinds of adjustments.
30
31
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,590
But with digital marketing, it's easier to course correct than it would be if you had invested in a
31
32
00:02:04,590 --> 00:02:05,070
print ad.
32
33
00:02:05,550 --> 00:02:11,700
Let's talk about what a social media social media is an umbrella term to describe online platforms focused
33
34
00:02:11,700 --> 00:02:16,020
on community based communication such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
34
35
00:02:16,500 --> 00:02:21,750
Platforms like this use content sharing and post interaction, and most of the content there is is being
35
36
00:02:21,750 --> 00:02:24,480
produced by the users of the platform, not the owners.
36
37
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:30,060
Social media also includes curation sites such as wikis, as well as professional networking platforms
37
38
00:02:30,060 --> 00:02:30,750
like LinkedIn.

00:03:05,700 --> 00:03:10,110
That means you need to optimize your site for the type of search engine you want it to rank highly on.
47
48
00:03:10,110 --> 00:03:12,120
Like Google, Amazon or Bing.
48
49
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:17,940
SEO typically focuses on scoring highly organic search results, not paid or sponsored traffic.
49
50
00:03:18,090 --> 00:03:21,270
But you can also use it in paid ads to maximize their reach.
50

00:03:26,580 --> 00:03:29,610
ensure a search engine views your site is the most appropriate match.
52
53
00:03:30,300 --> 00:03:35,250
Every search engine uses a different algorithm to determine what the best result to a search query is.
53
54
00:03:35,700 --> 00:03:40,290
This will include a combination of different factors, including the quality of your content and back
54
55
00:03:40,290 --> 00:03:44,160
links, how many visitors your site has, and your website speed and uptime.

58
00:03:54,900 --> 00:03:57,630
as well as the importance of voice search and video SEO.

62
63
00:04:13,610 --> 00:04:18,740

63
64
00:04:18,740 --> 00:04:23,600
grown even faster, exploding at a rate of one hundred and fifty percent more than local searches alone.

00:09:34,570 --> 00:09:37,540
Second step is creating a solid brand value proposition.
146
147
00:09:38,020 --> 00:09:42,250
There's so much competition out there and one of the major challenges for any brand is getting heard.
147
148
00:09:42,250 --> 00:09:47,380
Above all, the noise demonstrate why customers should choose you by highlighting the benefits of choosing
148
149
00:09:47,380 --> 00:09:48,550
your product or service.
149
150
00:09:48,970 --> 00:09:54,070
Identify your ideal customer avatar, then write down how your product solves an urgent problem for
150
151
00:09:54,070 --> 00:09:55,930
them or taps into a desire they have.
151
152
00:09:56,380 --> 00:10:00,730
Once you've done this, you can design a marketing strategy that conveys this to your audience.
152
153
00:10:01,510 --> 00:10:03,940
Third step involves building, building and building.
153
154
00:10:04,660 --> 00:10:07,020
Building a successful brand doesn't happen overnight.
154
155
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:11,310
You need to put in consistent, regular effort and apply solid marketing strategies.
155
156
00:10:11,770 --> 00:10:14,850
One of the keys to growing a brand is raising customer awareness.
156
157
00:10:14,890 --> 00:10:18,010
So use every opportunity to tell the right people about what you do.
157
158
00:10:18,190 --> 00:10:21,880
Blogging, social media and advertising can help you reach out.
158
159
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,000
But don't just push your products as you need to build trust first.
159
160
00:10:25,690 --> 00:10:31,630
To win customer trust, you need to show your ad value, create informative, useful social posts and
160
161
00:10:31,630 --> 00:10:35,380
blogs that are relevant to your audience and post regularly to keep them engaged.
161
162
00:10:36,070 --> 00:10:39,160
When you are ready to promote, you won't just be screaming into the win.
162
163
00:10:39,310 --> 00:10:41,440
You'll be promoted to a high, trustful audience.
163
164
00:10:41,890 --> 00:10:46,900
To help build your authority, you can show testimonials from your satisfied customers as people love
164
165
00:10:46,900 --> 00:10:48,100
before and after stories.
165
166
00:10:48,580 --> 00:10:53,140
Storytelling is a superb way to show potential customers how they'll benefit when they purchase your
166
167
00:10:53,140 --> 00:10:54,310
products and services.
167
168
00:10:55,030 --> 00:10:57,160
Step forward is to unify your brand voice.
168
169
00:10:57,610 --> 00:11:02,650
All your content should be consistent, and that includes your graphic design, copywriting and ads.
169
170
00:11:03,070 --> 00:11:07,840
You need to communicate your brand voice strongly and everything you put out online so that it is instantly
170
171
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:08,590
recognizable.
171
172
00:11:09,070 --> 00:11:13,360
The goal here is to distill the essence of your brand so that people know immediately what it stands
172
173
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:13,660
for.
173
174
00:11:14,110 --> 00:11:19,120
Great brands can make their customers feel like they are part of a tribe by evoking aspirational feelings
174
175
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:20,980
in their customers that make them want to purchase.
175
176
00:11:21,490 --> 00:11:26,770
Fifth step is to encourage interaction, make things personal by encouraging your customers to interact
176
177
00:11:26,770 --> 00:11:32,200
with your brand, whether that's by giving feedback to creating products or sharing their experiences.
177
178
00:11:32,650 --> 00:11:37,060
If you can make your following feel their voice matters, you'll be able to develop customer loyalty
178
179
00:11:37,060 --> 00:11:39,040
and a much stronger connection to your brand.
179
180
00:11:39,790 --> 00:11:45,460
Sixth step is to adapt to thrive, monitor your marketing and branding approach so you can quickly adapt
180
181
00:11:45,460 --> 00:11:46,990
to changes in consumer demand.
181
182
00:11:47,470 --> 00:11:52,000
Tracking your performance and making tweaks can also be used to overhaul struggling brands if you are
182
183
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,520
prepared to take an honest look at where your weaknesses lie.
183
184
00:11:55,680 --> 00:12:01,350
Use social media analytics tools, Google analytics tools and heat maps to evaluate your sales copy
184
185
00:12:01,470 --> 00:12:04,500
website and blogs to see what's working and what isn't.
185
186
00:12:04,980 --> 00:12:09,240
This will help you to fine tune your marketing and pick up on opportunities to raise brand awareness.
186
187
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,830
One important thing to remember is that in all your brand building and marketing efforts, remember
187
188
00:12:13,830 --> 00:12:17,380
to stay strong and be persistent and never be discouraged by setbacks.
188
189
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:23,070
Some of the most successful brands have had many false starts, so learn to develop patience and diligence
189
190
00:12:23,220 --> 00:12:26,880
so you can stay the course when it comes to building a thriving brand.
190
191
00:12:27,030 --> 00:12:30,400
You'll find that a little constant effort is the key ingredient to success.
191
192
00:12:31,140 --> 00:12:32,970
Let's talk about product marketing now.
192
193
00:12:33,660 --> 00:12:38,010
Product marketing focuses on a product's lifecycle from buildup to launch and beyond.
193
194
00:12:38,460 --> 00:12:42,960
It takes a different approach from conventional marketing, which aims to drive conversions and make
194
195
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:43,410
sales.
195
196
00:12:43,890 --> 00:12:48,480
The goal of product marketing is to make a product as appealing as possible to potential customers.
196
197
00:12:49,170 --> 00:12:54,420
If you're building a brand or marketing online, you'll need to use both product and conventional marketing.
197
198
00:12:54,870 --> 00:12:59,700
Conventional marketing helps you reach the widest audience possible, while product marketing positions
198
199
00:12:59,700 --> 00:13:02,440
your product to be as tempting as possible to your target market.
199
200
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:07,680
One of the best examples of product marketing is the Apple brand, which has become synonymous with
200
201
00:13:07,680 --> 00:13:08,910
aspiration worldwide.
201
202
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,120
Apple's branding manages to feel both current and timeless.
202
203
00:13:12,570 --> 00:13:17,730
Its iconic logo is instantly recognizable, and the company manages to back up their unique branding
203
204
00:13:17,730 --> 00:13:20,130
by consistently producing market leading products.
204
205
00:13:20,610 --> 00:13:25,830
Their strategy helps them constantly acquire new customers and helps define them as a brand in the marketplace.
205
206
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:30,050
Apple has also managed to make each of their products a unique branding opportunity.
206
207
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:35,070
Every one of their products features cutting edge design and incorporates the logo that has helped build
207
208
00:13:35,070 --> 00:13:35,580
the brand.
208
209
00:13:36,060 --> 00:13:40,350
If you can manage to marry both your branding and products like Apple has done, you'll carve out a
209
210
00:13:40,350 --> 00:13:43,600
strong brand voice, even in the most overcrowded market niche.
210
211
00:13:44,070 --> 00:13:47,100
Now we'll tell you the five step guide to perfect product marketing.
211
212
00:13:47,580 --> 00:13:49,140
First step is knowing your market.
212
213
00:13:49,830 --> 00:13:52,950
Your target market should drive all your product marketing campaigns.
213
214
00:13:52,980 --> 00:13:55,740
Therefore, to do that, you have to identify a few things.
214
215
00:13:56,460 --> 00:14:00,150
First is why similar products are doing well and how they are presented in the market.
215
216
00:14:00,630 --> 00:14:06,140
Second is your competitors strategies for successful product positioning, and last is your target audience
216
217
00:14:06,270 --> 00:14:08,820
pain paying points and how your product offers them solutions.
217
218
00:14:09,570 --> 00:14:14,430
Second step is defining your message and deciding where your product fits in this step.
218
219
00:14:14,550 --> 00:14:19,110
Use your findings from step one to create your product messaging and decide where it should be positioned
219
220
00:14:19,110 --> 00:14:19,650
in the market.
220
221
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:24,690
Is it aimed at tech users looking for budget solutions or people looking to splurge a little extra on
221
222
00:14:24,690 --> 00:14:25,470
a luxury item?
222
223
00:14:25,950 --> 00:14:30,810
Create text, video and visuals that are aimed at your target audience and that demonstrate you can
223
224
00:14:30,810 --> 00:14:32,220
solve your customers problems?
224
225
00:14:32,970 --> 00:14:35,260
Third step is laying out your go to market plan.
225
226
00:14:35,790 --> 00:14:40,530
Start with listing the platforms you'll be using to tell people about your product and define the types
226
227
00:14:40,530 --> 00:14:42,670
of communication you'll use to get the message out.
227
228
00:14:43,140 --> 00:14:44,940
Focus on your target demographic.
228
229
00:14:44,970 --> 00:14:46,320
Where do they hang out online?
229
230
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:51,330
Make sure all your branding and marketing materials are in sync across the channels you're using, and
230
231
00:14:51,330 --> 00:14:54,900
use traditional marketing strategies to help reach as many people as possible.
231
232
00:14:55,650 --> 00:14:57,510
Fourth step is bringing it all together.
232
233
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:03,420
You have to get your team on board and make sure every aspect of your product, visuals and communication
233
234
00:15:03,420 --> 00:15:05,870
is in sync with the position you want to aim for in the market.
234
235
00:15:06,300 --> 00:15:10,830
You need to do this to establish a strong, unique presence for your product on all the channels you'll
235
236
00:15:10,830 --> 00:15:11,630
be launching on.
236
237
00:15:12,090 --> 00:15:17,370
And finally, the last step would be to roll out your product and track its performance, launch your
237
238
00:15:17,370 --> 00:15:21,990
product on your chosen channels and assess the impact of your marketing strategy and the reactions of
238
239
00:15:21,990 --> 00:15:22,440
your target.
239
240
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:27,600
Customers use these insights to refine your product marketing strategy and incorporate your findings
240
241
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,580
into your strategy for future products to.
241
242
00:15:32,500 --> 00:15:38,380
Let's talk about growth hacking now, growth hacking focuses on growing a brand quickly and uses tools
242
243
00:15:38,380 --> 00:15:41,290
and strategies to expand track and scale growth.
243
244
00:15:42,010 --> 00:15:46,990
First, you must prioritise areas you want to grow in, then identify the right channels to acquire
244
245
00:15:46,990 --> 00:15:47,750
new customers.
245
246
00:15:48,250 --> 00:15:52,320
Finally, you must implement a marketing strategy that attracts your ideal customer.
246
247
00:15:53,050 --> 00:15:58,420
The growth hacking process relies on continually monitoring, testing and adapting your expansion strategy.
247
248
00:15:58,450 --> 00:16:02,740
According to what is working here, we present to you the simple guide to growth hacking.
248
249
00:16:03,460 --> 00:16:08,470
Start with developing your product prototype and test it on a small sample of your ideal target market
249
250
00:16:08,530 --> 00:16:09,900
to make sure there is a demand.
250
251
00:16:10,390 --> 00:16:15,070
This lets you identify areas for improvement and gives you data on potential customers that you can
251
252
00:16:15,070 --> 00:16:16,900
use to better your marketing campaigns.
252
253
00:16:17,620 --> 00:16:22,810
Next step is to improve your product as necessary and keep testing it, ensuring you analyze the feedback
253
254
00:16:22,810 --> 00:16:23,190
you get.
254
255
00:16:23,650 --> 00:16:26,370
This will tell you whether your product will be a success or not.
255
256
00:16:27,070 --> 00:16:31,900
You also have to start marketing your brand and product using the data you've gathered on your key buyer
256
257
00:16:31,900 --> 00:16:32,950
persona as a guide.
257
258
00:16:32,950 --> 00:16:38,050
When you create your marketing materials, your aim should be to raise your profile, raise awareness
258
259
00:16:38,050 --> 00:16:41,000
of your product, expand your mailing list and create buzz.
259
260
00:16:41,530 --> 00:16:43,330
This all comes under the third step.
260
261
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:49,060
Step four involves rolling out your product by launching it officially and continuing to market, assess
261
262
00:16:49,060 --> 00:16:55,420
and track you social media, Google and Facebook ads, blogs and social proof to amp up interest in
262
263
00:16:55,420 --> 00:16:56,050
what you're selling.
263
264
00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:01,840
Next up, it's important to use stats to see where you can optimize your campaign budget and implement
264
265
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,640
conversion optimization techniques to maximize your sales.
265
266
00:17:05,380 --> 00:17:10,480
Finally, the sixth and last step involves continuing this process and using it every time you launch
266
267
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:11,750
a new product or service.
267
268
00:17:12,490 --> 00:17:16,390
Here are some growth hacking tips you can use to grow your brand and get more sign ups.
268
269
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:21,510
You can use the fear of missing out folo by making sign up more exclusive.
269
270
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,190
That is by invite only.
270
271
00:17:23,890 --> 00:17:28,710
You can also make the sign up process fun by offering rewards or getting people to complete challenges.
271
272
00:17:29,380 --> 00:17:33,910
Another hack is to offer incentives your potential customers will want when they refer to sign ups.
272
273
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:39,460
You can leverage the power of affiliate marketing to enjoy lower cost product promotion and expand your
273
274
00:17:39,460 --> 00:17:39,800
reach.
274
275
00:17:40,270 --> 00:17:42,310
Let's talk about affiliate marketing next.
275
276
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:47,440
You can use affiliate marketing in two main ways to tap into a useful second income stream.
276
277
00:17:48,190 --> 00:17:50,740
First is by creating your own affiliate program.
277
278
00:17:51,460 --> 00:17:55,570
If your goal is to expand, raise brand awareness or make more sales.
278
279
00:17:55,570 --> 00:18:00,790
Creating your own affiliate program is a good way to go by getting people to post your links, embed
279
280
00:18:00,790 --> 00:18:04,630
your videos or endorse your brand and offering rewards or commission.
280
281
00:18:04,750 --> 00:18:08,920
You can benefit from your own sales and marketing team without having to pay a salary.
281
282
00:18:09,070 --> 00:18:13,390
You can use your affiliate program to reward people for selling your products or sending traffic to
282
283
00:18:13,390 --> 00:18:15,820
your website and pay them with goods from your store.
283
284
00:18:15,940 --> 00:18:18,010
Exclusive bonuses or commission.
284
285
00:18:18,460 --> 00:18:22,840
You get a lot of control as you can set the percentage of any sales or traffic that follow.
285
286
00:18:22,990 --> 00:18:25,740
And if they don't make any referrals, you don't lose anything.
286
287
00:18:26,470 --> 00:18:28,360
Second is by promoting other brands.
287
288
00:18:29,050 --> 00:18:33,910
If you don't want to create your own affiliate program or don't have a store of your own, you can use
288
289
00:18:33,910 --> 00:18:36,550
affiliate marketing to make money promoting other brands.
289
290
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:38,350
This is a great idea.
290
291
00:18:38,350 --> 00:18:41,740
If you have a site that gets a lot of traffic, but it can also be successful.
291
292
00:18:41,740 --> 00:18:46,630
If you have strong digital marketing skills, you need to select an affiliate program where you'll get
292
293
00:18:46,630 --> 00:18:49,690
a unique affiliate link, which you'll post whenever you're promoting.
293
294
00:18:50,170 --> 00:18:55,780
If you have any kind of online social media presence or run a blog or YouTube channel, you can monetize

295
296
00:18:58,270 --> 00:19:00,940

296
297
00:19:01,390 --> 00:19:06,580

298
00:19:06,580 --> 00:19:08,800
WP to host your store on the platform.
298
299
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,850
Or you can use WordPress affiliate themes like elegant themes or studio press.
299
300
00:19:13,270 --> 00:19:17,890
If you don't have a WordPress site, you can host your products on an affiliate platform like Amazon

00:19:17,890 --> 00:19:23,980

and create an enticing landing page that encourages visitors to sign up.
302
303
00:19:28,060 --> 00:19:30,520
You can also monetize by promoting other brands.
303
304
00:19:30,940 --> 00:19:36,640
If you prefer to promote other affiliate schemes, focus on finding one in your niche or area of interest.
304
305
00:19:37,090 --> 00:19:41,950
If you already have a following, select a program that your audience will be interested into and check
305
306
00:19:41,950 --> 00:19:43,510
that you are getting good commission rates.

308
309
00:19:53,180 --> 00:19:58,430

as it gives generous monthly bonuses of up to one thousand dollars, YouTube marketing is another great

313
00:20:09,710 --> 00:20:14,380
If you have a large following on YouTube or are interested in growing your following on the platform.

314
315
00:20:20,450 --> 00:20:24,020
which will teach you everything you need to know if you want to monetize your YouTube channel.
315
316
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:29,930
Next up, we'll be talking about Reddit marketing essentials you can't directly promote on Reddit unless
316
317
00:20:29,930 --> 00:20:31,160
you pay for advertising.
317
318
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,040
But there are other ways you can attract attention to your brand.
318
319
00:20:34,490 --> 00:20:41,000
You can share news, run, ask me anything amay sessions or create text based posts to find out what
319
320
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:42,590
content is popular on Reddit.
320
321
00:20:42,590 --> 00:20:47,270
Analyze how many people are talking about your keywords and topics and check if anyone has mentioned
321
322
00:20:47,270 --> 00:20:49,390
your brand or similar rival brands.
322
323
00:20:49,820 --> 00:20:52,950
There are a few ways you can catch the attention of the Reddit user base.
323
324
00:20:53,690 --> 00:20:54,800
The first is blogging.
324
325
00:20:55,250 --> 00:21:00,350
Blogs are popular on the platform, but since readers are an educated crowd, you need to offer value.
325
326
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,350
If you can create informative, well-written copy.
326
327
00:21:03,350 --> 00:21:07,090
Sharing your blogs can be a great way of getting Reddit users to talk about your brand.
327
328
00:21:07,580 --> 00:21:10,670
Make sure you share your content to the right reader groups or threads.
328
329
00:21:10,700 --> 00:21:15,520
Use headlines that attract attention and proofread your work before you posted anywhere on Reddit.
329
330
00:21:16,250 --> 00:21:18,050
You can also use text based posts.
330
331
00:21:18,500 --> 00:21:23,220
Unlike Facebook and other social media platforms on Reddit, text based content is king.
331
332
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:29,060
This is because Reddit is a forum for exchanging ideas and information so fancy graphics won't always
332
333
00:21:29,060 --> 00:21:29,570
impress.
333
334
00:21:30,230 --> 00:21:34,820
You can use Reddit to create text posts that encourage interaction from your target audience, build
334
335
00:21:34,820 --> 00:21:39,560
trust in authority by teaching people something new, or get feedback by asking relevant questions.
335
336
00:21:40,010 --> 00:21:44,870
You can also share your blogs in full as text posts, as well as posting links to where they are hosted.
336
337
00:21:45,530 --> 00:21:48,830
Amma's or ask me anythings are also a good way to gain traction.
337
338
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:54,320
Amma's are threads where registers with large followings or unique stories answer community questions,
338
339
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,020
and they are usually hosted on the subset at our Sladjana.
339
340
00:21:57,500 --> 00:22:03,920
They can be hosted elsewhere on Reddit to the their tagged with topics like politics or law so users
340
341
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:05,840
can find the sessions they want to take part in.
341
342
00:22:06,290 --> 00:22:11,420
If you get the chance to do an AMA on Reddit, take it as it's an excellent chance to raise brand awareness
342
343
00:22:11,420 --> 00:22:13,820
and reach out to a large interested audience.
343
344
00:22:14,540 --> 00:22:17,690
You can also make use of news to share news on Reddit.
344
345
00:22:17,690 --> 00:22:20,600
You don't have to have a scoop as long your content is relevant.
345
346
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:25,700
Try sharing news from niche thought leaders or links to news studies that relate to your brand or products.
346
347
00:22:26,150 --> 00:22:31,130
You can also create news about your products by announcing new features and talking about their benefits.
347
348
00:22:31,580 --> 00:22:37,010
If you want to post this kind of news on Reddit, make sure it's informative state how they are technologically
348
349
00:22:37,010 --> 00:22:40,310
or scientifically advanced and back this up with research links.
349
350
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:45,500
This approach will be more successful than just announcing a product release which will earn you a or
350
351
00:22:45,500 --> 00:22:46,370
get you downvoted.
351
352
00:22:47,090 --> 00:22:49,340
Reddit can also be used for asking for feedback.
352
353
00:22:49,790 --> 00:22:53,870
Reddit can be a useful tool to gauge social opinion on your brand and your competitors.
353
354
00:22:53,870 --> 00:22:56,810
And you can also use it to learn what your ideal customer wants.
354
355
00:22:57,260 --> 00:23:02,180
By monitoring user reactions to industry trends and existing products, you can tweak your products
355
356
00:23:02,180 --> 00:23:03,200
to hold more appeal.
356
357
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:08,810
You can also use Reddit to directly ask for feedback by posting topical questions that ask for user
357
358
00:23:08,810 --> 00:23:10,340
opinion and relevant subheadings.
358
359
00:23:11,500 --> 00:23:13,310
We'll be starting with copywriting now.
359
360
00:23:13,810 --> 00:23:17,240
Here are five fast copywriting hacks which are working great right now.
360
361
00:23:17,980 --> 00:23:20,910
First is you have to get maximum attention from the start.
361
362
00:23:21,580 --> 00:23:26,620
If you want maximum clickthrough, you must use headers that evoke strong emotion and are targeted to
362
363
00:23:26,620 --> 00:23:27,550
your ideal reader.
363
364
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:33,640
The best type of headers are short and punchy with enough impact to arouse curiosity or provoke a reaction.
364
365
00:23:34,090 --> 00:23:38,950
Incorporating numbers is a great way to make header sound more specific, like Ten Top Tips to get rich
365
366
00:23:38,950 --> 00:23:42,180
fast or five pro ways to protect your privacy online.
366
367
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:47,410
Don't just cast out click bait headers that bear no relation to your content or people will lose trust
367
368
00:23:47,410 --> 00:23:48,310
in you and switch off.
368
369
00:23:49,030 --> 00:23:49,810
Second hack.
369
370
00:23:50,260 --> 00:23:52,390
Make sure that you don't shy away from emotion.
370
371
00:23:53,110 --> 00:23:57,610
While it's true that dropping stats and facts helps you build trust and credibility, if you do this
371
372
00:23:57,610 --> 00:23:59,410
too much, you'll end up boring people.
372
373
00:23:59,890 --> 00:24:04,450
Your copy needs a human element to be relatable, and one of the most powerful ways to achieve this
373
374
00:24:04,450 --> 00:24:10,180
is making your content emotional, use high impact words and share funny stories or situations your
374
375
00:24:10,180 --> 00:24:13,810
audience can relate to so that they can put themselves right in the scenario.
375
376
00:24:14,290 --> 00:24:18,670
When you add an element of personality, you'll make your followers feel closer to you than to other
376
377
00:24:18,670 --> 00:24:21,340
content creators who play it safe and stick to the facts.
377
378
00:24:21,790 --> 00:24:25,240
Using emojis for social media is another fast copywriting hack.
378
379
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:29,980
You can use emojis, work well in social posts and ads and help to grab attention.
379
380
00:24:30,430 --> 00:24:33,970
You might feel they look unprofessional, but research has shown they perform.
380
381
00:24:34,120 --> 00:24:39,070
So punctuate your most important sentences with them, especially when posting on Facebook or Twitter.
381
382
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:44,800
You can also use emojis to break up long pieces of text on social media, as typically people will scroll
382
383
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,020
past if they see a huge wall of copy.
383
384
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,200
Next up, identify your audience's pain points.
384
385
00:24:50,890 --> 00:24:56,290
Pain points are problems people stress about and look for a solution to your job as a marketer is to
385
386
00:24:56,290 --> 00:24:59,800
emphasize these pain points, but in a way that hints you can provide the solution.
386
387
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:05,350
To find out your potential customers pain points, you must do market research on your target demographic
387
388
00:25:05,350 --> 00:25:07,870
to identify their fears, desires and needs.
388
389
00:25:08,350 --> 00:25:10,570
Market research doesn't have to be conventional.
389
390
00:25:10,690 --> 00:25:15,220
If your typical customer hangs out on Reddit, why not monitor what they post about and use this to
390
391
00:25:15,220 --> 00:25:16,720
make your copy hold more appeal?
391
392
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:21,940
When you stress customers pain points, you should also highlight the importance of immediate action.
392
393
00:25:22,390 --> 00:25:24,160
Let your audience know they must act now.
393
394
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:30,820
If they want the solution, you can use the proven hack Aida for success, eye or attract interest.

395
00:25:30,820 --> 00:25:36,040
Jizya action is a four stage formula that every successful copywriter employs to get people to act.
395
396
00:25:36,490 --> 00:25:40,840
Every piece of copy that's designed to get people to take an action you want needs to shift through
396
397
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:41,770
these four stages.
397
398
00:25:42,250 --> 00:25:45,550
First one being a tracked, usually employed at the header stage.
398
399
00:25:45,580 --> 00:25:50,650
It can also be used high up in your copy to pull people in, grab attention with emotive headlines and
399
400
00:25:50,650 --> 00:25:56,740
provocative questions or statements to persuade people to keep reading second stages interest, hook
400
401
00:25:56,740 --> 00:25:59,380
people in and keep up the momentum by hitting their pain points.
401
402
00:25:59,860 --> 00:26:01,420
Remind them of a worry or fear.
402
403
00:26:01,420 --> 00:26:06,370
They have then teased that you have the solution without revealing exactly what that is at this stage.
403
404
00:26:07,120 --> 00:26:08,440
Third stage is desire.
404
405
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,250
Here's where you reveal your product and frame it as the answer to their prayers.
405
406
00:26:12,730 --> 00:26:16,720
Briefly outline the main benefits, but do it in a way your customers can relate to.
406
407
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,480
Don't bore with too many technical specifics.
407
408
00:26:19,510 --> 00:26:24,940
Use relatable language that gets people visualizing, say, things like in six weeks you can love Slimer,
408
409
00:26:24,970 --> 00:26:30,460
have ten Exmoor energy and fifty percent lower cholesterol levels to get people to visualize the benefits
409
410
00:26:30,460 --> 00:26:31,000
they'll enjoy.
410
411
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:34,870
If they make a purchase, you should slip in a stat or two to back up your claims.
411
412
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:38,440
Just be careful not to overdo it and keep the focus on evoking emotion.
412
413
00:26:38,830 --> 00:26:40,330
And the last stage is action.
413
414
00:26:40,810 --> 00:26:45,520
SEAL the deal and encourage people to act right away by employing urgency and the fear of missing out.
414
415
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:51,400
Also known as Flomo Limited time offers hills or exclusive bonus gifts are good ways to get people to
415

coding experience at all.

429
430
00:27:49,380 --> 00:27:53,400
maximum number of visitors, as well as convert them into sales and subscribers.

492
493
00:32:09,550 --> 00:32:11,890
organic search might convert better with another version.
493
494
00:32:12,610 --> 00:32:13,360
Number nine.
494
495
00:32:13,810 --> 00:32:14,590
Keep it simple.
495
496
00:32:15,070 --> 00:32:19,660
Decide on the one main action you want your visitors to perform and make sure you make it easy for them
496
497
00:32:19,660 --> 00:32:20,080
to do it.
497
498
00:32:20,230 --> 00:32:22,210
Don't overload them with too many options.
498
499
00:32:22,330 --> 00:32:27,010
Make sure you give them a way to take your one desired action with a clearly displayed button or page
499
500
00:32:27,010 --> 00:32:27,370
element.
500
501
00:32:28,060 --> 00:32:32,350
And lastly, number ten testimonials work providing they're authentic.
501
502
00:32:32,350 --> 00:32:37,390
So include them on your page, particularly if they're from household names, authority, voices or
502
503
00:32:37,390 --> 00:32:38,080
big brands.
503
504
00:32:38,530 --> 00:32:42,970
Never be tempted to fake testimonials, though, as visitors will be able to tell immediately.
504
505
00:32:45,570 --> 00:32:48,100
In this section, we'll talk about YouTube marketing.
505
506
00:32:48,630 --> 00:32:51,080
First off, we have the title so started.
506
507
00:32:51,090 --> 00:32:57,060
Well, your title is an important part of YouTube optimization and can be the deciding factor when people
507
508
00:32:57,060 --> 00:33:00,600
are deciding to click through or scroll past for optimal results.
508
509
00:33:00,750 --> 00:33:01,320
Go for one.
509
510
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:03,210
That's between 40 to 50 characters.
510
511
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:08,820
As research has shown, titles using under 50 characters rank higher in search use emotive headers that
511
512
00:33:08,820 --> 00:33:12,810
have personality and incorporate numbers to shake things up and make your headline stand out.
512
513
00:33:13,260 --> 00:33:19,060
A study conducted by HubSpot found that brackets in parentheses can increase YouTube clicks by 33 percent.
513
514
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,150
So experiment with these in your title too.
514
515
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,960
In the next step, prepare your thumbnail image.
515
516
00:33:24,420 --> 00:33:28,110
You can't just pick any thumbnail image if you want to attract viewers to your video.
516
517
00:33:28,590 --> 00:33:34,560
YouTube uses mostly red, black and white colors, so to stand out you need to select a bogey thumbnail
517
518
00:33:34,740 --> 00:33:37,470
that's composed of blue, orange, green and yellow.
518
519
00:33:38,190 --> 00:33:40,560
The third step involves optimizing your intro.
519
520
00:33:41,250 --> 00:33:46,410
The ideal YouTube intro should be brief and include your targeted keywords high up in the description
520
521
00:33:46,860 --> 00:33:47,370
YouTube.
521
522
00:33:47,370 --> 00:33:52,020
Krall's the first two to three sentences and places more importance on the words and phrases that appear
522
523
00:33:52,020 --> 00:33:53,970
here when it returns search results.
523
524
00:33:54,450 --> 00:33:59,430
Don't be tempted to stuff your intro with keywords, as it also needs to be appealing to read people
524
525
00:33:59,430 --> 00:34:04,410
preview intros before deciding whether to press play in your intro will also display and YouTube search
525
526
00:34:04,410 --> 00:34:04,980
is a snippet.
526
527
00:34:05,700 --> 00:34:08,160
Next thing you need to do is to create a WOW outline.
527
528
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:12,770
Your YouTube outline is a chance to sell your video and encourage people to watch.
528
529
00:34:13,260 --> 00:34:17,550
Let people know exactly what they'll be getting and don't be afraid to go into a bit of detail.
529
530
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:22,470
The ideal outline should be one hundred and fifty words plus and should include all the key words you
530
531
00:34:22,470 --> 00:34:22,940
want to hit.
531
532
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:25,620
Finally, LinkedIn ask for likes.
532
533
00:34:26,340 --> 00:34:30,990
Your description is a great place to include links that push people to your website, blog or other
533
534
00:34:30,990 --> 00:34:31,710
social media.
534
535
00:34:32,190 --> 00:34:33,300
Don't just drop them in.
535
536
00:34:33,420 --> 00:34:36,960
Create a short call to action, reminding people why they should bother to click.
536
537
00:34:37,410 --> 00:34:41,850
You can also use your YouTube description to remind people to subscribe to your channel or give you
537
538
00:34:41,850 --> 00:34:42,270
a like.
538
539
00:34:42,720 --> 00:34:44,580

543
544
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:08,930
one good video can change everything.
544
545
00:35:09,660 --> 00:35:14,250
Video has viral potential, but you need to spend some time to strategize appealing content.
545
546
00:35:14,700 --> 00:35:19,560
You can show people more in a video than you ever could in a blog, or still image with the bonus that
546
547
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,020
they'll feel more connected to you when you use this format.
547
548
00:35:22,140 --> 00:35:26,880

00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:31,260
the power to turn around a flagging business and you don't need expensive equipment for it.
549

Nowadays, the pixel quality on mobile devices is so good you don't need to own a pro rig to shoot compelling

553
554
00:35:50,250 --> 00:35:55,380
When you're strategizing your marketing approach, try to create your blogs, images and other posts
554
555
00:35:55,380 --> 00:35:56,520
around your video output.
555

559
00:36:10,770 --> 00:36:15,570
It's easier for people to watch a video than read an article, and you can pack more information into
559
560
00:36:15,570 --> 00:36:17,790
a video than you can into a single still graphic.
560
561
00:36:18,450 --> 00:36:22,200
It is important to tailor your format to suit with video content.
561
562
00:36:22,350 --> 00:36:25,710
One size doesn't fit all, so you need to tailor your approach.
562
563
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:30,690
If you're creating content for Facebook or Instagram, shorter clips will serve you well.
563
564
00:36:30,720 --> 00:36:36,180
While content for YouTube should be longer and more informative, no matter what platform you create

00:37:11,300 --> 00:37:14,660
in your niche and you will be able to tap into an already interested audience.
573
574
00:37:15,140 --> 00:37:20,510
You'll also overcome one of the major hurdles of the customer journey winning customer trust as influencers.
574
575
00:37:20,510 --> 00:37:21,950
Opinions hold a lot of sway.
575
576
00:37:22,430 --> 00:37:27,110
Spend some time developing a relationship before you contact your influencer by commenting on their
576
577
00:37:27,110 --> 00:37:27,980
Tick-Tock content.
577
578
00:37:28,430 --> 00:37:32,510
Don't forget to check their following to make sure it's real and ensure that their audience is engaged
578
579
00:37:32,510 --> 00:37:34,580
in active dating and influencers.
579
580
00:37:34,580 --> 00:37:36,230
Trust will take a little time and effort.
580
581
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:41,240
But if you can get someone popular to endorse your products on tick tock, it can result in a huge explosion
581
582
00:37:41,240 --> 00:37:41,810
of interest.
582
583
00:37:42,530 --> 00:37:44,870
Keep your content short, snappy and fun.
583
584
00:37:45,350 --> 00:37:49,190
Content on tick performs best when it's shorter, upbeat and original.
584
585
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:54,590
If you can create unique content that makes people laugh you asked or intrigued, you'll do well on
585
586
00:37:54,590 --> 00:37:55,330
this platform.
586
587
00:37:55,820 --> 00:38:01,100
The ideal tick tock video should be 60 seconds or less and should use high quality compression, good
587
588
00:38:01,100 --> 00:38:02,570
lighting and clear audio.
588
589
00:38:03,050 --> 00:38:08,000
Tick-Tock videos are ideal for letting viewers peek at the story and people behind your brand, or for
589
590
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,520
running contests or challenges that promote your products.
590
591
00:38:11,270 --> 00:38:16,880
You can also use tick tock ads for your marketing, as well as organic posts you can pay to run ads
591
592
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:17,510
on Tock.
592
593
00:38:17,630 --> 00:38:22,550
But if you're going to spend your budget, make sure you do it wisely to create ads that connect and
593
594
00:38:22,550 --> 00:38:23,030
convert.
594
595
00:38:23,060 --> 00:38:28,010
First, do some research on the type of ads your ideal Tick-Tock customer watches so you can shoot a
595
596
00:38:28,010 --> 00:38:30,920
video that will appeal to them with Tic-Tac ads.
596
597
00:38:30,950 --> 00:38:34,220
It's vital to grab your audience from the start or they'll switch off.
597
598
00:38:34,670 --> 00:38:36,620
Put your most compelling footage early on.
598
599
00:38:36,740 --> 00:38:40,370
Ideally, in the first few seconds your core message can follow.
599
600
00:38:40,370 --> 00:38:43,880
But remember to keep things entertaining even when you're blatantly promoting.
600
601
00:38:44,330 --> 00:38:48,740
Make sure you monitor your ads performance too and run different ads so you can compare them against
601
602
00:38:48,740 --> 00:38:50,210
each other to see what works better.
602
603
00:38:51,430 --> 00:38:54,650
Let's see how you can run email marketing campaigns in this section.
603
604
00:38:55,120 --> 00:39:00,130
Email campaigns are still an invaluable way of optimizing your bottom line as they let you directly
604
605
00:39:00,130 --> 00:39:02,410
promote to an already interested subscriber base.
605
606
00:39:02,890 --> 00:39:07,330
Getting conversions can be tricky, but if you can apply the right approach, email campaigns can be
606
607
00:39:07,330 --> 00:39:09,170
an excellent way of achieving more sales.
607
608
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:15,330
Always remember, don't spam instead add value, never spam subscribers.
608
609
00:39:15,340 --> 00:39:19,660
Remember, they've placed their trust in you by signing up, so you must treat them accordingly.
609
610
00:39:19,790 --> 00:39:24,760
If you want to keep them on your list, make your email campaigns something people look forward to opening
610
611
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:30,850
by giving away handy tips, insider secrets or running exclusive subscriber discounts, giveaways or
611
612
00:39:30,850 --> 00:39:31,540
promotions.
612
613
00:39:31,990 --> 00:39:34,000
Always ask subscribers to engage.
613
614
00:39:34,450 --> 00:39:40,060
You can encourage subscriber interaction by asking for their feedback, posting questions, or encouraging
614
615
00:39:40,060 --> 00:39:45,310
people to give their input on new products, asking for input or feedback as a solid method of retaining
615
616
00:39:45,310 --> 00:39:50,200
subscribers, as it makes people feel like they are having more of a two way relationship with you rather
616
617
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:53,650
than just receiving your mail outs, strategize your campaigns.
617
618
00:39:54,130 --> 00:39:58,150
Don't send beige, boring campaigns just for the sake of meeting your monthly deadline.
618
619
00:39:58,300 --> 00:40:01,390
Give your mail out some thought by planning out a strategy in advance.
619
620
00:40:01,870 --> 00:40:06,880
Consider all aspects of your market research so you can create emails that will have maximum appeal
620
621
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:07,900
to your subscribers.
621
622
00:40:08,350 --> 00:40:12,520
Keep things fresh and don't just repeat your other promotional material as your email.
622
623
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:16,750
Campaigns need to act as a complement to your other marketing efforts, not compete with them.
623
624
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:19,270
Use the best tools for your campaigns.
624
625
00:40:19,720 --> 00:40:24,760
If you're going to send out subscriber campaigns, you need to ensure you're using a reliable platform.
625
626
00:40:25,240 --> 00:40:30,640
Tools like MailChimp help you create campaigns from premade templates and offer a huge range of customization
626
627
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:31,420
possibilities.
627
628
00:40:31,900 --> 00:40:37,140
Whatever platform you use, make sure you can expand your list and add in new subscribers as it grows.
628
629
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:41,320
Keep building your list as well as retaining the subscribers you have.
629
630
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:46,570
You should be continuously trying to grow your list as more subscribers means more chances to convert.
630
631
00:40:46,990 --> 00:40:48,130
Create low cost leave.
631
632
00:40:48,130 --> 00:40:54,130
MAGNET's your target customer will love like e-books or mini courses or offer free webinars, taster's
632
633
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:55,840
or previews if they sign up.
633
634
00:40:56,530 --> 00:41:01,360
Create a strong call to action on your Web site so that when people visit, they are promoted to sign
634
635
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:02,230
up to your newsletter.
635
636
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:07,150
You can experiment with placement or try a sticky scroller that follows your browsers as they scroll
636
637
00:41:07,150 --> 00:41:07,930
down your page.
637
638
00:41:08,380 --> 00:41:13,270
Make sure you make the benefits of signing up to your newsletter clear and be persuasive, not pushy.
638
639
00:41:13,750 --> 00:41:18,010
Remember to let people know that you won't spam them and will only send them content they are interested
639
640
00:41:18,010 --> 00:41:18,850
in and want to read.
640
641
00:41:19,300 --> 00:41:24,070
You can save time with automation by setting up preloaded content that will be sent out automatically.
641
642
00:41:24,070 --> 00:41:27,760
Depending on the actions your subscribers take, you'll save you a lot of hassle and time.
642
643
00:41:28,240 --> 00:41:31,420
Set up triggers for emails that will be sent out when people sign up.
643
644
00:41:31,420 --> 00:41:36,790
Download your lead magnet or complete a consultation form and segment your subscriber list depending
644
645
00:41:36,790 --> 00:41:40,330
on audience traits so you can send each list more appropriate content.
645
646
00:41:40,780 --> 00:41:43,390
Don't forget to analyze and tweak your campaign metrics.
646
647
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:48,940
Use the tools provided with your mailing list software to monitor your stats so you can assess open
647
648
00:41:48,940 --> 00:41:51,910
rates, click through conversions and unsubscribes.
648
649
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:57,580
Don't forget to ask for subscriber feedback as well so you can make your campaigns hold more appeal
649
650
00:41:57,700 --> 00:42:00,820
as this will help you continually improve your campaign's performance.
650
651
00:42:01,730 --> 00:42:07,730
Let's talk SEO or search engine optimization next, start with getting your main keyword in first paragraph.
651
652
00:42:08,450 --> 00:42:12,280
Google places a higher value on keywords that appear higher up in your content.
652
653
00:42:12,380 --> 00:42:17,570
So your most important keywords should be positioned in the first 25 words to optimize your search ranking.
653
654
00:42:18,290 --> 00:42:21,230
Second, it is really important to create unique content.
654
655
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:27,200
If you want to score highly on Google, your content must be unique, as should all your titles, descriptions,
655
656
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:28,640
meta tags and image.
656
657
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:34,190
All text duplicating content will cause you to appear lower in search, as according to Google to rank.
657
658
00:42:34,190 --> 00:42:36,740
Well, your content needs to be fresh and original.
658
659
00:42:37,490 --> 00:42:39,470
Third step is to optimize your titles.
659
660
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:41,840
Don't overstuff your headers with keywords.
660
661
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:44,990
Instead, choose one and use it as early as possible in your title.
661
662
00:42:44,990 --> 00:42:49,880
Instead, your title should be short but compelling with enough appeal to make people want to click
662
663
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:50,240
through.
663
664
00:42:50,690 --> 00:42:54,770
Make sure your copy lives up to the promise of your header so you can maximize your shares.
664
665
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:59,420
As the more people share your work and the more click through you get, the higher you'll rank on Google.
665
666
00:43:00,140 --> 00:43:02,900
It's also very important to create long form content.
666
667
00:43:03,380 --> 00:43:06,200
Google favors long form articles over briefer ones.
667
668
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:10,340
So far, the best results of your content should be between nineteen hundred to 2000 words.
668
669
00:43:10,790 --> 00:43:15,410
By creating informative dives into topics searchers are looking for, you'll be raising your ranking
669
670
00:43:15,410 --> 00:43:17,570
and ensuring you score higher in search results.
670
671
00:43:18,050 --> 00:43:20,690
Next important step is to always monitor your ranking.
671
672
00:43:21,140 --> 00:43:24,680
A successful strategy is built on the ability to be adaptable.
672
673
00:43:24,830 --> 00:43:29,030
So make use of analytics tools like the Google search console to assess your performance.
673
674
00:43:29,510 --> 00:43:32,720
You can use the search console to see how well your keywords are doing.
674
675
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,810
Check your discoverability and analyze your click through rate.
675
676
00:43:36,470 --> 00:43:38,930
Another subset of SEO is modern SEO.
676
677
00:43:39,650 --> 00:43:45,020
To rank your content, Google uses a system called the expertise, authority and trustworthiness.
677
678
00:43:45,020 --> 00:43:48,350
And the higher your score, the higher you'll appear in search results.
678
679
00:43:48,830 --> 00:43:51,980
The good news is there are some steps you can take to improve your ranking.
679
680
00:43:52,100 --> 00:43:54,890
So you appear on the first page of Google search results.
680
681
00:43:55,610 --> 00:43:58,250
There are three ways to score big with Google's ecosystem.
681
682
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,190
First is by using high authority sources.
682
683
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:05,630
Google places more priority on content that's attributed to trusted sources.
683
684
00:44:05,660 --> 00:44:10,820
So pay attention to your authors and try to use established experts or people with high scores.
684
685
00:44:11,270 --> 00:44:14,000
Google will check the authority of your content when it returns.
685
686
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:17,810
Search results and content from authority sources will always appear higher.
686
687
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:20,450
Second way is to monitor your mentions.
687
688
00:44:20,930 --> 00:44:26,060
Google's algorithm also considers your mentions on other websites so it can assess what people are saying
688
689
00:44:26,060 --> 00:44:28,190
about you and your brand and rank you accordingly.
689
690
00:44:28,310 --> 00:44:32,900
If you've accumulated a lot of negative reviews on trusted sites, this will impact your ranking.
690
691
00:44:33,050 --> 00:44:38,570
But if you can get positive reviews on big sites like Yelp or TripAdvisor or gather a lot of likes on
691
692
00:44:38,570 --> 00:44:41,300
Facebook, you can get a huge search engine advantage.
692
693
00:44:41,750 --> 00:44:43,730
Last method is to use internal linking.
693
694
00:44:44,240 --> 00:44:47,990
Google's system also assesses your internal back links and their relevance.
694
695
00:44:48,140 --> 00:44:53,270
So to boost your score linked to other related pages on your website and use your main keyword in your
695
696
00:44:53,270 --> 00:44:58,790
anchor text back linking to other pages is a great way to give a boost to content that hasn't yet received
696
697
00:44:58,790 --> 00:45:03,950
much attention by giving these pages a better score in search, never link low link authority pages
697
698
00:45:03,950 --> 00:45:05,480
to other low scoring pages.
698
699
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:10,780
Instead, try linking popular older content to newer articles that haven't had the chance to gain traction.
699
700
00:45:11,490 --> 00:45:18,230
Another subset of SEO is technical SEO use tools to check your site's performance as well as tracking
700
701
00:45:18,230 --> 00:45:19,650
your keywords and click Theroux's.
701
702
00:45:19,700 --> 00:45:24,020
You can also use the Google search console to monitor your website's performance and up time.
702
703
00:45:24,470 --> 00:45:29,420
You can also it to check for indexing errors in the coverage tab and also to examine your site's mobile
703
704
00:45:29,420 --> 00:45:31,250
usability through the enhancements tab.
704
705
00:45:31,910 --> 00:45:34,670
Indexing errors prevent Google from crawling your site.
705
706
00:45:34,700 --> 00:45:38,630
So if you find any, fix them fast so people can discover your content.
706
707
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:44,210
It's important to check your site's mobile usability, too, as more are now accessing the Internet
707
708
00:45:44,210 --> 00:45:45,800
via devices like smartphones.
708
709
00:45:46,250 --> 00:45:51,680
Another reason this factor is so important is because Google Search Index prioritizes mobile devices
709
710
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:56,690
so you can't rank well if your site isn't optimized to display, load and perform well on tablets and
710
711
00:45:56,690 --> 00:45:57,200
phones.
711
712
00:45:58,310 --> 00:46:03,700
Another important thing is to optimize the loading speed site, loading speed is crucial to Google,
712
713
00:46:03,710 --> 00:46:08,990
and if your website loads fast, you'll be giving a boost to your search engine score to help your site
713
714
00:46:08,990 --> 00:46:13,820
load as fast as possible, compress your images and display them in a format and size suitable for your
714
715
00:46:13,820 --> 00:46:14,240
layout.
715
716
00:46:14,690 --> 00:46:18,680
Your themes should be lightweight and clutter free rather than templates with many elements.
716
717
00:46:19,130 --> 00:46:24,200
A great way to boost site speed is by using lazy loading, which loads content only as it's needed.
717
718
00:46:24,650 --> 00:46:29,420
Implementing lazy loading can rev up your site by up to 50 percent, so it's worth giving it a try to

721
722
00:46:40,550 --> 00:46:43,280
they don't implement an effective personal outreach strategy.
722
723
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:49,310
Although you need quality content to make SEO work for you, you must optimize it for the web and search.

724
00:46:49,310 --> 00:46:52,280
And you should also be reaching out to network with people in your sector.

00:46:59,570 --> 00:47:03,260
You'll also learn how to find out what links your competition is using and why.
727
728
00:47:03,260 --> 00:47:07,850
You must connect with websites and social media pages in your business niche to ask them to share your
728
729
00:47:07,850 --> 00:47:08,330
content.
729
730
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:11,750
Here are three great tips for getting links from people in your niche.
730
731
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:17,540
A very important rule is to never spam or pester, never send spam or generic emails.
731
732
00:47:17,690 --> 00:47:22,610
Spend a little time creating a personalized message to build trust and maximize your chance of getting
732
733
00:47:22,610 --> 00:47:23,090
a yes.
733
734
00:47:23,570 --> 00:47:25,820
Second tip is to try to develop relationships.
734
735
00:47:25,820 --> 00:47:30,920
First, spend some time cultivating relationships with your business peers and it will pay off in the
735
736
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:31,470
long run.
736
737
00:47:31,940 --> 00:47:36,760
Engage them on Facebook and on their page or blog and offer to reciprocate if they share your content.
737
738
00:47:36,770 --> 00:47:41,420
When you contact them to ask for back links or shares, don't be put off if people ignore you.
738
739
00:47:41,420 --> 00:47:46,820
At first, getting back links is one of the most challenging parts of SEO, so stick at it as eventually
739
740
00:47:46,850 --> 00:47:48,200
you'll get a positive response.
740
741
00:47:48,710 --> 00:47:50,660
Lastly, share your content for free.
741
742
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:54,020
People need to know you exist before they'll start doing you favors.
742
743
00:47:54,470 --> 00:47:57,470
They also need to know you're reliable and can create good content.

745
746
00:48:07,700 --> 00:48:08,420
Don't promote it.
746
747
00:48:08,420 --> 00:48:11,420
First, make sure the content you share is educational and useful.
747
748
00:48:11,900 --> 00:48:16,430
This way you'll build trust faster and you'll also encourage more people to interact with your work
748
749
00:48:16,430 --> 00:48:16,930
and share it.
749
750
00:48:17,030 --> 00:48:22,220
One important tip is remember to keep at it even when it feels like no one is responding to you as it
750
751
00:48:22,220 --> 00:48:27,110
takes some time to build trust and a network of people who will be willing to link to your content being

00:48:49,340 --> 00:48:54,800
Lastly, we'll be talking about local Nescio now check your map ranking for local businesses.
758
759
00:48:55,520 --> 00:49:00,950

759
760
00:49:00,950 --> 00:49:03,140
taken from Google Maps called a map pack.
760
761
00:49:03,590 --> 00:49:08,840
The map pack also appears in other non local results when Google decides it's appropriate as the map
761
762
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:12,750
pack is becoming more relevant to search and is displayed above organic search.
762
763

You should try to ranking it if you want to optimize your search strategy.

Second thing is to enhance your keywords and make them relevant to score well in local organic search.
764
765
00:49:22,370 --> 00:49:26,050
You must optimize your keywords and make sure they're relevant to your local business.
765
766
00:49:26,510 --> 00:49:31,640
Make use of tools like Google suggest and the Google keyword planner to get granular data and see which
766
767
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:34,040
keywords score highly in specific locations.

768
00:49:34,730 --> 00:49:39,170
Your primary keywords should be relevant to local search results, and you should include it in both

770

00:49:41,180 --> 00:49:46,340
Your website content should also include related local search keywords, including your blog articles,
771
772
00:49:46,490 --> 00:49:47,930
subheads and metadata.

content that show off your brand and your location to rank even higher.

You can have your staff share their stories and give people an inside look at what they do and how they
784
785
00:50:35,850 --> 00:50:36,960
contribute to your business.
785

when people make local searches.
790
791
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:58,590
Now, we'll move on to Facebook marketing and Facebook ads.
791
792
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:04,260
When marketing on Facebook, you need to consider Facebook's three key ranking metrics as scoring high
792
793
00:51:04,260 --> 00:51:06,240
will help you get found fast on the platform.
793
794
00:51:06,990 --> 00:51:09,690
Here are some of Facebook's key ranking metrics to look at.
794
795
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:14,970
First is content quality score, which tells you how informative and valuable your posts are compared
795
796
00:51:14,970 --> 00:51:16,270
to other similar brands.
796
797
00:51:17,010 --> 00:51:21,600
Second is engagement rate score, which tells you how engaged people are with your brand, the number
797
798
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:23,790
of likes, shares and comments you receive.
798
799
00:51:24,570 --> 00:51:28,560
Third is conversion rate ranking, which tells you how well you're doing in terms of sales.
799
800
00:51:28,570 --> 00:51:31,370
Click through and subscribers compared to your competitors.
800
801
00:51:32,100 --> 00:51:34,410
Here are three ways to win with Facebook marketing.
801
802
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:36,750
Start with examining the competition.
802
803
00:51:37,470 --> 00:51:42,060
Facebook lets you check out your competitors through the Insights tab on your Facebook business page.
803
804
00:51:42,510 --> 00:51:47,550
Click on insights, then scroll to function pages to watch an ad in the brands you want to assess to
804
805
00:51:47,550 --> 00:51:48,690
the performance overview.
805
806
00:51:49,170 --> 00:51:52,650
You'll be able to compare your performance against theirs to see how you measure up.
806
807
00:51:53,070 --> 00:51:57,840
If your competitors are outperforming you, you can use this tool to examine their Facebook marketing
807
808
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:00,780
strategy and include what they're doing right in your own campaigns.
808
809
00:52:01,230 --> 00:52:05,670
One of the best competitor analysis tools Facebook offers is the Facebook Ads Library.
809
810
00:52:06,150 --> 00:52:10,350
We recommend you take some time to check it out right now as it's an invaluable tool that will help
810
811
00:52:10,350 --> 00:52:12,270
you expand your approach to Facebook ads.
811
812
00:52:12,390 --> 00:52:17,130
When you click through to the ad library, enter the name of a rival brand and then click on the search
812
813
00:52:17,130 --> 00:52:19,650
all button to try this out for yourself.
813
814
00:52:19,650 --> 00:52:22,710
Enter Udemy in the search field in the Facebook ads library.
814
815
00:52:23,190 --> 00:52:27,570
Facebook will show you all the ads your competitor is running in your country, but you can adjust the
815
816
00:52:27,570 --> 00:52:31,830
settings to see all the ads your competitors are running worldwide or in other countries.
816
817
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:37,650
Pause this video now and test it out for yourself in a new tab so you can become familiar with the interface
817
818
00:52:37,650 --> 00:52:38,910
and see how everything works.
818
819
00:52:39,390 --> 00:52:42,570
Second thing is to use your audience insights to check out customers.
819
820
00:52:43,230 --> 00:52:48,420
Audience Insights is one of the most valuable tools Facebook has to offer as it gives you huge amounts
820
821
00:52:48,420 --> 00:52:50,010
of data on your target customers.
821
822
00:52:50,460 --> 00:52:54,510
With insights, you can find out what your potential customers are interested in and what jobs they
822
823
00:52:54,510 --> 00:52:57,660
have, as well as their age and their relationship status.
823
824
00:52:58,110 --> 00:53:03,630
You can even get super specific and use postcode geo targeting so you can define precise customer segments
824
825
00:53:03,630 --> 00:53:05,070
to run your ad campaigns to.
825
826
00:53:05,820 --> 00:53:08,280
Third tip is to post content with real appeal.
826
827
00:53:08,730 --> 00:53:12,450
Make sure your content is carefully targeted to your main follower demographic.
827
828
00:53:12,450 --> 00:53:14,310
So you post what people want to see most.
828
829
00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:19,950
Use visuals or video to compliment your text posts and make sure you have a killer cover photo to represent
829
830
00:53:19,950 --> 00:53:20,520
your business.
830
831
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:26,160
Try posting competitions and fun polls to a follower engagement and use your Facebook timeline to share
831
832
00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:27,900
your brand's history and tell your story.
832
833
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:33,570
Image galleries do well on Facebook, so create collections of related pictures or infographics that
833
834
00:53:33,570 --> 00:53:34,770
people will want to look through.
834
835
00:53:35,220 --> 00:53:40,230
You can show off your products, display information in visual format, or tell your brand story through
835
836
00:53:40,230 --> 00:53:40,740
photos.
836
837
00:53:41,190 --> 00:53:46,230
You can also combine galleries with engagement ads to target and build up custom and look alike audiences.
837
838
00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:51,990
Later on in this course, we'll teach you in detail how to use these kinds of audiences with your Galeries.
838
839
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:58,760
Now we'll talk about Facebook ads, Facebook ads can get click through sign ups and conversions, but
839
840
00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:01,490
there's an art to getting them right on mobile preview.
840
841
00:54:01,490 --> 00:54:05,540
Facebook cuts off most of your text, so make sure you put everything important up front.
841
842
00:54:06,020 --> 00:54:10,700
If you're running a limited time offer or special sale that needs to be at the start of your copy.
842
843
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:16,370
Always make it easy for people to navigate to your landing page or contact you by including your URL
843
844
00:54:16,370 --> 00:54:17,120
or phone number.
844
845
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:22,700
Use emojis at the start and end of your most important sentences and include a high quality image with
845
846
00:54:22,700 --> 00:54:25,510
your ad that will inspire and connect with your customers.
846
847
00:54:25,970 --> 00:54:30,080
You can conduct market research to find out what visuals work best with your target group.
847
848
00:54:30,530 --> 00:54:35,300
Use power words in your ad copy and keep things snappy and brief, especially at the start of your ad.
848
849
00:54:35,720 --> 00:54:40,790
If you want to do a lengthy pitch, save it for after the click to read more or wait until people have
849
850
00:54:40,790 --> 00:54:42,200
click through to your landing page.
850
851
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:47,540
Remember to include testimonials as social proof if you have them and use stats to back up the claims
851
852
00:54:47,540 --> 00:54:48,640
you make about your product.
852
853
00:54:49,130 --> 00:54:54,050
Create a sense of urgency by setting a time limit for your offers and press pain points by hinting that
853
854
00:54:54,050 --> 00:54:57,020
you have the solution to a common problem your target audience has.
854
855
00:54:57,470 --> 00:55:00,890
Let's pull all this info together and see how it might look in a Facebook ad.
855
856
00:55:01,610 --> 00:55:05,930
Here's a sample golden template you can use for Facebook ecommerce ads that works every time.
856
857
00:55:06,620 --> 00:55:09,290
Are you over 55 and worried about your heart health?

888
00:57:05,090 --> 00:57:06,300
mark it on Instagram.

to connect with potential customers who have high trust in you.
926
927
00:59:38,180 --> 00:59:42,680
The key to success on Quora is to establish yourself as an authority voice on the platform.
927
928
00:59:43,130 --> 00:59:45,050
You can't just start promoting right away.
928
929
00:59:45,140 --> 00:59:50,840
To be successful, you must create trust by consistently answering questions and engaging core is not
929
930
00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:53,900
a place where you can push products unless you're running paid for ads.
930
931
00:59:54,050 --> 00:59:58,670
But once you've built up a little bit of credibility, you can share your blog content or links to your
931
932
00:59:58,670 --> 00:59:59,000
site.
932
933
59:59.480 --> 01:00:05.240

934
935
01:00:10,940 --> 01:00:15,350
choose ones you can answer competently and take the time to give a detailed answer of at least one hundred
935
936
01:00:15,350 --> 01:00:16,910
words or ideally more.
936
937
01:00:17,390 --> 01:00:22,550
Don't include any promotion at this stage as people won't react well to new users using the platform
937
938
01:00:22,550 --> 01:00:23,480
to push their content.
938
939
01:00:23,900 --> 01:00:28,340
As soon as you've made between five to ten responses to questions, you can start to share your own
939
940
01:00:28,340 --> 01:00:28,820
content.
940
941
01:00:29,300 --> 01:00:33,950

941
942
01:00:33,950 --> 01:00:36,800
in question, with links to the full blog post included.
942
943
01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:41,270

943
944
01:00:41,270 --> 01:00:44,810
of the article and the last step to make for a payoff.

945
946
01:00:49,820 --> 01:00:51,890
and follow up with them fast to get rated higher.
946
947
01:00:52,340 --> 01:00:57,440

947
948
01:00:57,440 --> 01:00:59,090
always keep your post informative.
948
949
01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:01,850
Or you'll risk losing credibility or getting a bad.

950
951
01:01:08,050 --> 01:01:12,910
talk about or endorse your products is a great way to tap into a ready made, already interested audience.
951
952
01:01:13,390 --> 01:01:18,400
The trick is to pick an influencer in your niche and spend time cultivating a relationship before you
952
953
01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:23,530
contact them and ask them if they consider featuring your stuff to up your chance of receiving a yes.
953
954
01:01:23,650 --> 01:01:28,780
You need to offer influencers some value, whether that's reciprocal promotion, free products or you're
954
955
01:01:28,780 --> 01:01:29,890
doing free work for them.
955
956
01:01:30,370 --> 01:01:34,900
You could offer to update their website, edit their pictures or create blogs for their site.
956
957
01:01:34,990 --> 01:01:38,080
But whatever you offer, it should be something they will benefit from.
957
958
01:01:38,590 --> 01:01:41,470
Here are eight ways to build fast rapport with influencers.
958
959
01:01:42,220 --> 01:01:47,680
Number one, engage with the influencers, comment on influencers posts regularly, and you'll stand
959
960
01:01:47,680 --> 01:01:48,970
out as a valuable follower.
960
961
01:01:49,510 --> 01:01:54,070
This is a good way to build trust, and if you take time to consider your responses, you might even
961
962
01:01:54,070 --> 01:01:57,370
start a dialogue with them, especially if you make insightful comments.
962
963
01:01:57,850 --> 01:02:00,130
Second, leave feedback when they ask for it.
963
964
01:02:00,580 --> 01:02:05,380
Influencers frequently engage their followers by asking them for feedback, and this can be an excellent
964
965
01:02:05,380 --> 01:02:06,400
way to get them to notice.
965
966
01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:10,630
You respond to polls and leave comments explaining why you voted that way.
966
967
01:02:10,640 --> 01:02:15,790
Give your feedback on design options or post informative answers to a question and you'll start to win
967
968
01:02:15,790 --> 01:02:16,520
over their trust.
968
969
01:02:17,290 --> 01:02:23,020
Third point is share their stuff, share their content with a comment and you'll be appreciated as everyone
969
970
01:02:23,020 --> 01:02:25,210
loves someone who helps them reach a bigger audience.
970
971
01:02:25,660 --> 01:02:30,370
Tag them in every time you do this so they get notified and they'll remember you when you reach out
971
972
01:02:30,370 --> 01:02:34,720
and make your request forthe subscribe to their list and be active.
972
973
01:02:35,170 --> 01:02:38,530
If your influencer is a blogger, don't just follow them on social.
973
974
01:02:38,530 --> 01:02:43,930
Sign up to their mailing list to be active whenever you get the chance by asking questions and feedback
974
975
01:02:44,050 --> 01:02:48,160
to stand out from one hundreds of other subscribers and start building a connection with them.
975
976
01:02:48,640 --> 01:02:50,470
Next up, leave blog comments.
976
977
01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:52,870
Don't just comment on their social posts.
977
978
01:02:52,900 --> 01:02:54,850
Leave blog comments, too, if you can.
978
979
01:02:55,270 --> 01:03:00,700
By making thoughtful replies or asking questions, you can engage influencers on their home turf and
979
980
01:03:00,700 --> 01:03:02,250
even kick start conversations.
980
981
01:03:02,740 --> 01:03:05,830
This can be invaluable to you when you're trying to develop a relationship.
981
982
01:03:06,340 --> 01:03:08,350

983
01:03:08,800 --> 01:03:13,810
If you notice mistakes in their social media or blog posts or their website is down, let them know
983
984
01:03:13,810 --> 01:03:15,270
politely and they'll thank you for it.
984
985
01:03:15,730 --> 01:03:21,010
Everyone wants their website to be accessible and nobody wants Airstream posts, so your feedback is
985
986
01:03:21,010 --> 01:03:22,090
sure to be appreciated.
986
987
01:03:22,570 --> 01:03:24,970
Don't call people out on their mistakes publicly, though.
987
988
01:03:25,120 --> 01:03:28,810
Send a short direct message or email them, telling them what the issue is.
988
989
01:03:29,260 --> 01:03:31,660
7TH Important point is to link to their content.
989
990
01:03:31,780 --> 01:03:36,730
If you have a blog, you can link to influencers, posts or content in your copy, which also gives

991
01:03:36,730 --> 01:03:38,020
you both a boost in Google.
991
992
01:03:38,020 --> 01:03:43,330
If the link is related to your page, let them know you've done this by sending a quick email outlining
992
993
01:03:43,330 --> 01:03:46,930
why you've mentioned them or tagged them on social media to give them a heads up.
993
994
01:03:47,410 --> 01:03:51,820
This tip works best when you've already developed a relationship first, as otherwise, it can seem
994
995
01:03:51,820 --> 01:03:53,530
like you're looking for a mention in return.
995
996
01:03:54,250 --> 01:03:56,320
Next and last, mention them in a list.
996
997
01:03:56,800 --> 01:04:01,750
You can tag them into a list of influential people you publish on your blog or social media to let them
997
998
01:04:01,750 --> 01:04:04,870
know you appreciate your work like linking to their content.

999
01:04:04,990 --> 01:04:09,580

1143
1144
01:13:20,360 --> 01:13:24,020
Is it to develop connections, raise your profile or get more sales?
1144
1145
01:13:24,470 --> 01:13:28,390
Maybe you want to monetize your podcasts and turn them into a second income stream.
1145
1146
01:13:28,880 --> 01:13:32,780
After that, select a theme you can podcast about almost anything.
1146
1147
01:13:32,780 --> 01:13:36,920
But if your goal is to promote, you must make sure your podcast is relevant to your brand.

1150
1151
01:13:46,490 --> 01:13:48,620
You also have to choose the type of podcast.
1151
1152
01:13:49,070 --> 01:13:54,320
Do you want to make multiple podcasts or will you be creating occasional or even one off episodes?
1152
1153
01:13:54,800 --> 01:13:59,030

1153
1154
01:13:59,510 --> 01:14:02,720
You also need to decide what types of podcasts you'll be putting out.
1154
1155
01:14:03,170 --> 01:14:07,250
Will your podcast be news based or will you be interviewing relevant industry figures?
1155
1156
01:14:07,700 --> 01:14:12,080
Do you want to publish discussions or tutorials where you share insights and strategies?
1156
1157
01:14:12,770 --> 01:14:14,630
Then take a name for your podcast.
1157
1158
01:14:15,080 --> 01:14:18,980
Your podcast name is crucial as it will attract listeners or switch them off.

1159
1160
01:14:21,740 --> 01:14:26,090
Whatever title you pick, it needs to clearly communicate what your podcast is all about.
1160
1161
01:14:26,540 --> 01:14:31,580

1164
1165
01:14:41,180 --> 01:14:46,040

1165
1166
01:14:46,040 --> 01:14:46,970
things you want to cover.
1166

01:15:01,100 --> 01:15:04,640

01:16:08,750 --> 01:16:11,280
Chat bots can help you cut down on marketing costs.
1188
1189
01:16:11,300 --> 01:16:14,490
But before you create one, you need to decide what you want to achieve.
1189
1190
01:16:15,230 --> 01:16:20,100
Do you need an e-commerce bot to guide customers through the purchasing process or answer product queries?
1190
1191
01:16:20,570 --> 01:16:25,400
Do you want a booking bot that helps customers schedule online or offline events and pay for tickets?
1191
1192
01:16:25,850 --> 01:16:29,630
Or maybe you need a bot that gives stock updates or other useful information?
1192
1193
01:16:30,110 --> 01:16:34,580
Or will your bot be promoting your products or special offers, discounts or campaigns?
1193
1194
01:16:35,030 --> 01:16:39,210
As soon as you decide why you want to build your bot, you should break down its specifics.

1198
1199
01:16:53,450 --> 01:16:58,520

1199
1200
01:16:58,520 --> 01:17:02,870
be business or consumers, their demographics and location and their interest and values.
1200

1202
1203
01:17:08,660 --> 01:17:11,930
Creation and configuration languages are important.
1203
1204
01:17:12,680 --> 01:17:17,720
The type of language your bot uses as critical as it needs to sound natural and use dialogue that will
1204
1205
01:17:17,720 --> 01:17:21,180
be familiar to users as well as choosing the right language.
1205
1206
01:17:21,200 --> 01:17:26,000
You also need to consider how your customers speak and program your bots so that it fits well with this.

01:22:04,460 --> 01:22:06,680
keywords and how relevant they are to your ads.
1275
1276
01:22:06,830 --> 01:22:12,050
To score highly, your landing page and ad content must be closely related to the keywords you've chosen.
1276
1277
01:22:12,530 --> 01:22:17,220
Let's look at the four main components of the PPC quality score system in a little more details.
1277
1278
01:22:17,720 --> 01:22:19,250
First off is quality score.
1278
1279
01:22:19,730 --> 01:22:24,830
This is Google's assessment of how relevant your ads, keywords and landing page will be to the targeted
1279
1280
01:22:24,830 --> 01:22:27,110
audience you've chosen for your Google ad campaign.
1280
1281
01:22:27,860 --> 01:22:29,660
Second is landing page experience.
1281
1282
01:22:30,170 --> 01:22:35,120
This looks at how useful your landing page will be to a predefined set of browsers who view your Google
1282
1283
01:22:35,120 --> 01:22:36,860
ad and click through to your You URL.
1283
1284
01:22:37,400 --> 01:22:38,600
Third is ad relevance.
1284
1285
01:22:39,080 --> 01:22:43,880
This part of the QC system assesses how closely your keyword matches the primary message in your ad
1285
1286
01:22:43,880 --> 01:22:44,280
copy.
1286
1287
01:22:44,790 --> 01:22:46,490
Fourth is expected click through rate.
1287
1288
01:22:46,490 --> 01:22:48,050
Also called Center Google scores.
1288
1289
01:22:48,050 --> 01:22:52,600
Your ad according to how likely and how often it will be clicked when it is shown to your target audience.
1289
1290
01:22:53,060 --> 01:22:56,750
This part of the QSA score is based on the past performance of your Google ads.
1290
1291
01:22:57,950 --> 01:23:04,400
Here, four top tricks to improve your Google PPC quality score, first of all, spend time discovering
1291
1292
01:23:04,400 --> 01:23:09,080
high performing keywords that your target audience is searching for and use them in your ad header and
1292
1293
01:23:09,080 --> 01:23:11,160
title as well as on your landing page.
1293
1294
01:23:11,630 --> 01:23:14,930
You need to quickly let browsers know your ad is relevant to their search.
1294
1295
01:23:15,680 --> 01:23:19,550
Second, optimize your landing page and make it more relevant to your Google ad.
1295
1296
01:23:19,550 --> 01:23:23,960
Click through by using groups of related keywords instead of single one word keywords.
1296
1297
01:23:24,440 --> 01:23:28,310
Organic Dorsa produce works better than organic or Dorset, for example.
1297
1298
01:23:29,090 --> 01:23:31,280
Third is, don't just tweak your copywriting.
1298
1299
01:23:31,430 --> 01:23:34,160
Choose appealing images that are highly relevant to your Google.
1299
1300
01:23:34,160 --> 01:23:39,590
Add to the visual you select should be consistent with all your other marketing and branding, and especially
1300
1301
01:23:39,590 --> 01:23:41,390
to the page you'll be directing people to.
1301
1302
01:23:42,080 --> 01:23:47,300
And lastly, keep experimenting, make different versions of your Google ads so you can test them on
1302
1303
01:23:47,300 --> 01:23:49,470
your audience and see which ones perform better.
1303
1304
01:23:49,940 --> 01:23:53,330
You can track the performance of your Google ads in your campaigns dashboard.
1304
1305
01:23:53,810 --> 01:23:58,910
Doing this allows you to create niche ads that focus on one aspect and is a more effective way of marketing
1305
1306
01:23:58,910 --> 01:24:02,660
the same product to different types of people than just running the same generic ad.
1306
1307
01:24:03,380 --> 01:24:08,060
Google has an intuitive system that over time shows you how you can improve your campaigns and ad set
1307
1308
01:24:08,060 --> 01:24:08,300
up.
1308
1309
01:24:08,720 --> 01:24:12,290
You can use machine learning to optimize costs and further refine your results.
1309
1310
01:24:12,740 --> 01:24:17,630
Utilizing the benefits of Google's intuitive A.I. in this way helps you boost your search optimization
1310
1311
01:24:17,630 --> 01:24:23,000
score and cut down on time as you can go through all possible combinations faster to find the best versions
1311
1312
01:24:23,000 --> 01:24:23,810
of your campaigns.
1312
1313
01:24:23,810 --> 01:24:25,490
That will generate the highest response.
1313
1314
01:24:26,210 --> 01:24:30,410
To optimize the efficiency of your Google ads, you need to understand three key terms.
1314
1315
01:24:30,890 --> 01:24:32,090
First is broad match.
1315
1316
01:24:32,570 --> 01:24:37,220
This is a keyword option that allows your ad to be displayed whenever someone searches for that keyword
1316
1317
01:24:37,340 --> 01:24:39,860
variations of it or other related topics.
1317
1318
01:24:40,340 --> 01:24:44,480
For example, the broad match keyword bicycle bell will cause your ad to be displayed.
1318
1319
01:24:44,480 --> 01:24:49,820
If someone searches for terms like cycling accessories, blue bicycle helmets and bell reviews for bikes.
1319
1320
01:24:50,300 --> 01:24:55,460
Second key terms phrase match, phrase match allows you to show your ad to customers who search for
1320
1321
01:24:55,460 --> 01:25:00,710
your exact keyword, as well as closely related variants, including with additional words added before
1321
1322
01:25:00,710 --> 01:25:06,520
or after phrase, matches more targeted than broad match, but offers more flexibility than exact match.
1322
1323
01:25:06,530 --> 01:25:11,840
Another key Google Labs term you should become familiar with phrase match gives you more control over
1323
1324
01:25:11,840 --> 01:25:16,400
how closely your keyword must match someone else's search term, allowing you to choose when your ad
1324
1325
01:25:16,400 --> 01:25:17,170
will be displayed.
1325
1326
01:25:17,690 --> 01:25:19,400
Third term is exact match.
1326
1327
01:25:19,430 --> 01:25:24,350
Exact match allows you to display your Google ad to people searching for your exact keyword, as well
1327
1328
01:25:24,350 --> 01:25:28,310
as people searching for similar versions of your keywords with exact match.
1328
1329
01:25:28,310 --> 01:25:33,710
Plus, variants include searches for keywords that have the same meaning as exact match keywords, regardless
1329
1330
01:25:33,710 --> 01:25:34,760
of spelling or grammar.
1330
1331
01:25:35,480 --> 01:25:40,310
For example, if you're selling running shoes and someone is searching for running shoes or shoes for
1331
1332
01:25:40,310 --> 01:25:44,330
running, your ad will be displayed both times as they are looking for the same thing.
1332
1333
01:25:44,820 --> 01:25:49,910
Exact match saves you a lot of time, as close variance of exact match keywords help you connect with
1333
1334
01:25:49,910 --> 01:25:51,980
more people who will be interested in your brand.
1334
1335
01:25:52,460 --> 01:25:55,340
This reduces the need to build an extensive list of keywords.
1335
1336
01:25:55,790 --> 01:26:00,590
Exact match gives you a lot of control over who sees your ad, which can result in a higher center.
1336
1337
01:26:01,310 --> 01:26:04,730
Let's talk about Google Merchant Center, also called Google Shopping.
1337
1338
01:26:05,210 --> 01:26:10,010
Google Merchant Center is a helpful set of tools that let you quickly upload and update product information
1338
1339
01:26:10,130 --> 01:26:13,160
so it can be displayed in all related Google shopping searches.
1339
1340
01:26:13,580 --> 01:26:19,370
Using Merchant Center, you can update pricing images and text, as well as add or delete products from
1340
1341
01:26:19,370 --> 01:26:20,060
your catalog.
1341
1342
01:26:20,540 --> 01:26:25,070
Merchant center helps you efficiently manage all the products you'll be marketing using Google shopping,
1342
1343
01:26:25,070 --> 01:26:27,500
and it offers full integration with Google my business.
1343
1344
01:26:27,920 --> 01:26:31,820
It's basically a one stop shop for all your Google based marketing and ecommerce.
1344
1345
01:26:32,270 --> 01:26:34,400
Here's how you can get started with Merchant Center.
1345
1346
01:26:34,850 --> 01:26:39,800
To get approved for a merchant center account, you must have a Google account, a website and business
1346
1347

1347
1348
01:26:45,470 --> 01:26:50,090
Once you've been approved, you can start uploading your products, but make sure to use a format Google
1348
1349
01:26:50,090 --> 01:26:52,400
accepts like a text or XML file.
1349
1350
01:26:52,880 --> 01:26:58,070
You need to include all relevant product information, including pricing, product details, product
1350
1351
01:26:58,070 --> 01:26:59,420
availability and shipping.

01:26:59,840 --> 01:27:04,640
In the Google ad section of this course, you'll find detailed explainer videos where we show you how
1352
1353

1357
1358

to specific audiences on the Google and YouTube network.
1358
1359
01:27:31,610 --> 01:27:36,710
You can use these to hook in previous visitors to your Web site or remine browsers who've already displayed
1359
1360
01:27:36,710 --> 01:27:37,850
an interest in your product.
1360
1361
01:27:38,390 --> 01:27:40,130
Third is Google Analytics support.
1361
1362

1363
01:27:45,680 --> 01:27:47,490

1367
01:27:59,720 --> 01:28:03,650

1413
01:31:04,180 --> 01:31:08,830
You can sidestep this downside while benefiting from the many insights that different codes from third
1413
1414
01:31:08,830 --> 01:31:09,670
parties provide.
1414
1415
01:31:10,390 --> 01:31:15,220
Tech manager also lets you automatically track more types of clicks than Google Analytics does alone.
1415
1416
01:31:15,340 --> 01:31:18,040
Unless you activate event tracking, which can be tricky.
1416
1417
01:31:18,460 --> 01:31:23,710
Install tag manager and you'll be able to track file downloads and embedded video views without having
1417
1418
01:31:23,710 --> 01:31:24,520
to fiddle around.
1418
1419
01:31:25,000 --> 01:31:29,800
Once you've got Google tag manager up and running on your site, you can add new tags into tag manager
1419
1420
01:31:29,800 --> 01:31:35,790
to swiftly set up file download and video view tracking to set up automatic event tracking and tag manager.
1420
1421
01:31:35,830 --> 01:31:38,440
You need to create a tag and then assign a trigger.
1421
1422
01:31:38,440 --> 01:31:39,610
And Google tag manager.
1422
1423
01:31:40,060 --> 01:31:44,710
When you've done this, you can see when and how often your site visitors perform certain actions in
1423
1424
01:31:44,710 --> 01:31:45,850
the analytics dashboard.
1424
1425
01:31:46,300 --> 01:31:51,220
You can deploy different kinds of tracking codes on your site with tag manager, including Google Analytics
1425
1426
01:31:51,220 --> 01:31:52,690
Code and Facebook pixel code.
1426
1427
01:31:52,840 --> 01:31:56,890
So it's a helpful addition to your toolset if you want to monitor what your traffic is doing.
1427
1428
01:31:57,640 --> 01:31:58,990
Let's talk about heat maps.
1428
1429
01:31:59,680 --> 01:32:04,570
A heat map gives you a visual insight into your visitors behavior and is a great way to monitor and
1429
1430
01:32:04,570 --> 01:32:06,940
analyze your Web site so you know how to improve it.
1430
1431
01:32:07,390 --> 01:32:12,430
You can use heat map tools like Crazy AG or Hot Jar to view your site, statistical data and heat map
1431
1432
01:32:12,430 --> 01:32:17,320
form and learn where people are clicking, how long they spend on your content and what type of content
1432
1433
01:32:17,320 --> 01:32:17,860
they prefer.
1433
1434
01:32:18,340 --> 01:32:22,270
You can also see where they click and what actions they take when they're on your Web site.
1434
1435
01:32:22,300 --> 01:32:23,290
All in one image.
1435
1436
01:32:23,770 --> 01:32:27,730
Heat maps let you discover the weak points of your website and show you what's working well.
1436
1437
01:32:28,210 --> 01:32:32,800
They can also show you where people are finding it hard to navigate so you can optimize your site to
1437
1438
01:32:32,800 --> 01:32:34,480
make it easier for people to browse.
1438
1439
01:32:35,200 --> 01:32:39,790
Using heat maps to optimize your site like this will help you drive conversions and will encourage your
1439
1440
01:32:39,790 --> 01:32:43,430
visitors to engage more with your website and spend a longer time browsing.
1440
1441
01:32:43,960 --> 01:32:46,270
Here are three useful ways you can use heat maps.
1441
1442
01:32:46,780 --> 01:32:52,180
First is content marketing, scroll maps or heat maps, which lets you see how far down your page users
1442
1443
01:32:52,180 --> 01:32:54,820
scroll, letting you know how much of your content they're reading.
1443
1444
01:32:54,940 --> 01:33:00,460
You can use them to track how engaging your blog, sales copy and other content is and can combine them
1444
1445
01:33:00,460 --> 01:33:03,460
with click maps to identify your highest converting content.
1445
1446
01:33:03,910 --> 01:33:06,520
Next, you can also use it for Web site optimization.
1446
1447
01:33:06,970 --> 01:33:10,450
Heat maps can be a useful tool if you're looking to make your site more appealing.
1447
1448
01:33:10,900 --> 01:33:15,850
Try running a map before your redesign, then after to collect user stats and compare them.
1448
1449
01:33:16,300 --> 01:33:21,370
If your new site isn't performing better than your old one, identify weak areas and improve.
1449
1450
01:33:21,370 --> 01:33:23,310
Then run another map to check the results.
1450
1451
01:33:24,010 --> 01:33:26,620
And lastly, you can use it for experimentation.
1451
1452
01:33:27,070 --> 01:33:32,230
You can also use heat maps to try out different versions of your website landing or home page so you
1452
1453
01:33:32,230 --> 01:33:36,070
can see which one performs the best by viewing what your visitors do differently.
1453
1454
01:33:36,520 --> 01:33:42,130
Try experimenting with tiny tweaks like shifting your subscribe or add to cart button or test different
1454
1455
01:33:42,130 --> 01:33:44,980
versions of your landing page to see which one converts better.
1455
1456
01:33:45,430 --> 01:33:48,760
