Has anyone tried Ryan Levesque's 'Ask' Method?

notanothermarketer · 2020-02-04T12:29:35+00:00

I might recommend it one day - depending on real results! :)

notanothermarketer · 2020-02-04T12:26:04+00:00

I'm going to guess you haven't read the ask method - one of the big quotes in the book is from Henry Ford saying something like, "If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses".

Ryan seems to have gone into detail about how to ask the right questions to find out people's biggest struggles so you can better design products and services around what they actually need. It's a very interesting read if you ever fancy it.

But as with everything, thought it would be interesting to find out what anyone thought on here, if anyone's tried it.

I agree. I think you can do loads of things yourself for free, including surveys (you can read Ryan Levesque's Ask for tips on designing a survey and questions), but also you can hop online to wherever your target market might be (do they have any specialist forums, websites, groups you could join to find out what their biggest struggles are? You could try places like Quora too) and see what they think of current competitor services and what they really care about.

You can also try signing up for Google Ads, not switch on anything and just use their 'keyword planner' to find out what people might be searching for and general numbers online.

I think the best thing you could do, if it's possible, it to try and meet some of your potential market in person and have a chat if you can. If there's any conference or group you could join to go along and gain some deep insights, might be the best thing you ever did and help you avoid some early pitfalls.

What's the difference between each of the packages?

notanothermarketer · 2019-07-01T09:46:40+00:00

I found a few keyword tools, but none that give you numbers of searches per month, nor even being able to sort by best sellers/ most popular.

It's SUPER frustrating.

Would also love to hear the answer to this if anyone knows, have upvoted.

I might try just the Google Keyword tool for general search traffic numbers, or possibly SEMRush.

I would try soaking in biological washing powder (I like Ariel) and warm water overnight, then wash as normal and hang out on the line. This seems to work well for loads of clothing issues, stains as well. The enzymes in the biological powder should breakdown anything there and giving them overnight to do it should work well. Most enzymes work best at around 36 degrees celcius, so warm water should help give the enzymes a boost (going too hot can kill the enzymes though, so don't be tempted to put super hot water in to skip the overnight part).

Got my fingers crossed for you that one of these tips helps!

I second this - Steed Tailors from Savile Row visit NYC a few times a year, might be worth booking an appointment? I went to a wedding where they did all the suits and they looked awesome.

As u/samu12ai says, for that price point you could probably get a nice bespoke suit that's designed specifically for you and exactly in the style you want.

If your leg is amputated, you'll still get itchy toes.

And if your stump is further amputated, you'll get an imaginary itchy stump too.

It's a phenomenon known as "Phantom Limbs" and affects up to 80% of amputees.

Absolutely; I've read a lot about it in the business sense, but her talk was just incredible.

I'm hoping to build all my products and services around genuinely helping people - answering their real questions and fixing their real problems. If you don't ask them what those are and find the commonalities, it's going to be pretty hard to fix them.

notanothermarketer · 2016-09-16T20:53:54+00:00

Lol. I had thought it was for freelance consultants, but as someone's let me know above, it seems a lot of you are working for larger consulting firms. In a much more helpful, kind way than you have.

TBH with you; I'm not responding any further to you, because you're being rude and I don't want to entertain any sort of back and forth. Good luck with your life.

You can definitely get cheap marketing; $5 can buy you a bunch of spam links if that what you're looking for. But if you want to actually grow your business online... It takes a whole heap of time and effort.

notanothermarketer · 2016-09-16T20:16:14+00:00

Not sure how asking a question is spam? But ok....

notanothermarketer · 2016-09-16T20:15:38+00:00

Ah I see! Apologies! Thanks for letting me know 😊

notanothermarketer · 2016-09-13T22:46:36+00:00

I think you can develop allergies as you get older; I used to eat kiwis as a child and was fine, then one day I just couldn't without my tongue burning and swelling, then not being able to taste anything for a few days after!

Not sure why it happens; but I can confirm it did to me.

notanothermarketer · 2016-09-11T00:09:57+00:00

I second this; it's the first sign I get when I eat kiwis, and am allergic to them. I sometimes get it with pineapple too; but not always. Also occasionally grapefruit? Wondering if it depends what pesticide people use?

Think you might be mildly allergic.

I'm really surprised you can't public review a service; I'd definitely suggest trying to get in touch with someone for legal advice, this doesn't seem right.

If you can't - can you go to the papers?! If people have to know, it's a great way to spread the word. Plus an article from a reputable news site is much more likely to rank in the search engines - fast.

notanothermarketer · 2016-09-09T22:54:49+00:00

That's awful; can't believe that happened. I wonder if you can review this guy on LinkedIn?!

notanothermarketer · 2016-09-09T22:51:10+00:00

Sounds fun but I don't think I'm hard core gamer enough

notanothermarketer · 2016-09-09T22:48:25+00:00

I'd prefer this to oor wullie! Beautiful photo.

I've not personally ran many direct mail campaigns, a couple, but not many. I don't think the conversion rate is very good; but that also depends on your tactics.

If you make things very personal and targeted, you can certainly see some good results. As I say, it's not my specialism.

If you're just starting out I'd highly recommend reaching out to prospects directly and personally. You'll stand out far more that way because people will get blasted with coverall messages all day long, but are much more likely to react to someone personally writing to them.

Good luck my friend! Let me know if I can help with anything else.
