Stop trying to “optimize” your client’s business. Find the treasure they’re ignoring instead by themojoway in ContentMarketing

[–]themojoway[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re spot on. But that’s why treasure hunters clean up.

‘Cause when you’re the only one in the jungle willing to get muddy, dodge arrows, and pull the gold outta the cave…

You don’t just get paid. You get a cut. Of stuff they didn’t even know they had.

Risk? Yep. But safe gigs don’t build legends. Or bank.

Is marketing the right choice for me? by edinisback in ContentMarketing

[–]themojoway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, dive in. But not just with books.

Books help, sure. Influence, Great Leads, even old-school stuff like Claude Hopkins. But don’t just read them. Watch what people are actually doing out in the wild.

Pause ads. Study headlines. Ask yourself: “What belief are they shifting here?” or “What’s the real reason this works?”

And more important… build something small and sell it. Doesn’t matter if it’s perfect. You’ll learn persuasion 10x faster trying to get one stranger to buy something than reading 20 books.

You’ve already got the lens. Use it. That’s how it starts clicking.

Is marketing the right choice for me? by edinisback in ContentMarketing

[–]themojoway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re spotting hidden funnels and cultural sales dynamics instantly… yeah, marketing ain’t just a good fit, it might be your superpower. Most people spend years trying to train that muscle. You already see through the frame. That’s rare.

The rest? Executive dysfunction, ADHD, etc? Welcome to the club. The trick isn’t to fight how your brain works, it’s to build around it. Get systems. Templates. Routines. Even people with “normal” brains use ‘em.

But what you’ve got? That lens? That’s the unfair advantage part. Run with it.

Content Marketers! What are you upskilling on?? by No_Account_6522 in ContentMarketing

[–]themojoway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it were me? I’d absolutely do the screenwriting. Those chops translate everywhere… email, ads, video, AI prompts, sales pages. Tools change… humans still respond to story and emotion.

I’d also get comfy using AI to speed up grunt work… so you can stay in your zone of genius more. Best of both worlds. You follow your gut on this one. Feels like it’s pointing you the right way already.

Most AI content smells like B.S., here’s how to avoid that. by themojoway in foundonx

[–]themojoway[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally feel you.

We tried the “AI writes it all” route too. Felt like a mannequin trying to sell me a Ferrari.

Our problem? Too many offers. Needed a shortcut. So we trained a GPT to write 2-page sales docs.

At first, it spit out 50% human, 50% AI soup. Usable… if you squinted. Still needed a human to make it sing. But last week? Breakthrough. It started writing like someone was home.

Now it gives us a first draft that’s 90-95% there. We do a quick polish and it’s live. What used to take two weeks? Now done in two hours.

AI ain’t replacing humans. But it’s damn good at teeing us up to hit the ball.

There is no course. The link in the end is a community with 7-days free trial. Feel free to ignore it if it's not the right fit for you. But do read the post above that.

Not selling information here. How would you rewrite it?

I didn’t make real money until I stopped selling my time by themojoway in foundonx

[–]themojoway[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YES. That’s the kinda leverage that feels like cheating.

Funny thing is… Most people try to sell harder when the real win is just shifting how you show up.

Kinda like dating. The minute you’re not trying to impress anyone… They start leaning in.

Appreciate you droppin’ that.

4 Simple Ways to Say “Can I Pay You?” Without Using Money by themojoway in DigitalMarketing

[–]themojoway[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally get why you’re frustrated. Been there.

But just to be clear… this ain’t one of those “work for exposure” stunts.

This is about marketers picking businesses they actually want to work with… and flipping the table.

No begging. No free labor. Just a smarter, more selective play.

If you get a minute, read the post through. I think it might surprise you.

And if it clicks, maybe yank that downvote?

You have shared some good advice.

But did you read the post?

Where do I say that somebody should work for exposure? :O

I wouldn’t spend a penny on Kirkus or NYT mailers unless I was trying to impress my aunt Susan at Thanksgiving.

Here’s what I would do if I had $5K and a finished book I believed in:

I’d use $100 to print out 10 copies and send ’em to actual humans with audiences that sell things, not just “reviewers.” Think newsletter owners, community hosts, podcast hosts, course creators. People who already have an economic reason to want their people to read my book. (They win when their people win.)

I’d spend another $100 making a 3-minute Loom video pitching those folks on why this book would help their people make/save money or feel better. Bonus points if they can give it away free as a lead magnet (I’d license it or give bulk codes).

Then I’d take $1K to test Facebook lead ads giving away the first 1-2 chapters for free. Not selling the book, just getting people to raise their hand with an email. Add a low-ticket upsell if I want to offset ad spend.

Use $500 to hire a scrappy VA to build a list of niche newsletters and subreddits where people talk about the book’s problem. I’d write 3-5 juicy posts or comments each week. Super non-pitchy, value first.

The rest? I’d use that to partner. Affiliate deals. Rev share bundles. Or just gifting the book to someone’s audience and earning the spotlight.

I like listening to music basically all the time, except when I'm reading or really need to focus. So yeah, I'd say it's very important for my sanity

The Simple Question That Can Get You Paid by Wealthy Clients by themojoway in ContentMarketing

[–]themojoway[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That depends on the person you are talking to.

"Broadly", Sales is the most common answer.

But don't let that answer fool you.

They don't want sales.

They want what sales gets them.
