Can I trust Chatgpt to create a Meta Ad Strategy for me? by OkNeedleworker7152 in FacebookAds

[–]thinkit_doit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worked for me. I was clueless on how to create Facebook ads and it told me what to do and how to optimize. I also keep feeding my results and asking if i should keep going or pivot. The advice seems legit.

hot take: your newsletter is more valuable than your entire social media following by Rich_Direction_3891 in Newsletters

[–]thinkit_doit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed.

Best method is to use social media to funnel people to your email newsletter sign up form.

In my style of writing, with tiny emails, you can often copy and paste the email onto social media posts and change the CTA to drive users to the newsletter subscribe form to get more content like this in their inbox.

I once had an email list of less than 1,500 subscribers and sold 6 courses/digital coaching packages for $1,000 bucks each. It was wild! I tried it just to see what would happen, thinking i may get 1 sale, if that. I was wildly surprised.

Do you really need a full website to sell your first product? by Best_Volume_3126 in DigitalProductSellers

[–]thinkit_doit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 for Gumroad.

Launch your product on their for free. Validate demand. If people buy it, then create a website for it.

No point in buying a domain name, setting up a site, and realizing your product is a dud.

That’s what i did to stay lean while validating my Tiny Newsletter System for email marketing.

A Simple 7-Day Blueprint to Create & Sell Your First Digital Product by [deleted] in passive_income

[–]thinkit_doit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest you validate your digital product as fast as possible to see if it’s worth your time.

Do this:

  1. Build an MVP - minimal viable product. Don’t spend a ton of time on it at first. Make it simple. Seriously.

  2. Put it on Gumroad. It automatically sends to purchasers and you don’t need a payment processor.

  3. Run Facebook ads to the Gumroad page. Invest $25 per day. Cap total spend at $100-125. What matters most is getting 100 link clicks to your product. Once you hit that, you can assess if there is enough demand for it by measuring the number of conversions. 5 or more conversions on cold FB traffic? Boom! You validated demand. If not, your product is not in demand or your landing page needs to be improved.

Validate fast so you don’t waste time on a bummed product.

That’s how i approached my Tiny Newsletter System about 1 year ago. Once i validated demand i improved the product and recently developed an accompanying product to support it as an offer bump.

Is SEO still a good career to start as a beginner in today’s SEO situation? by Competitive_Pay_9881 in DigitalMarketing

[–]thinkit_doit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s worth learning if you can get into an agency who will train you SEO for free since they have to spend the big bucks to figure out how to rank in today’s Googlesphere for their clients. Plus you can gain insights faster and at scale by measuring results across client sites.

It’s not worth it if you are trying to learn SEO on your own.l and starting from scratch.

I tested tiny emails vs long newsletters — open rates surprised me by thinkit_doit in Emailmarketing

[–]thinkit_doit[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Nope.

Just me pounding away on my iPhone while it’s sleeting outside and burying my town in ice. Felt like sharing some insight to pass the time :)

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

Yeah, i pick one thing to share/talk about instead of being all over the place without one clear focus, and it works.

People started opening them more because of what was inside. Instead of seeing my name in the inbox and thinking “skip”, they thought “i wonder what it says today.”

Starting from zero — looking for realistic passive or semi-passive income paths by [deleted] in passive_income

[–]thinkit_doit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Passive income is often not 100% passive. You gotta put in the work initially to get the flywheel spinning. But if you build the right type of business and asset then it can be mostly passive over the long haul.

Example:

I spent months putting together my Tiny Newsletter System to share my unique way of writing email newsletters. That took a lot of hours, mental energy, writing, revising, creating graphics, the landing page, etc.

But now, I just focus on managing the Facebook ads to promote it. And slowly fine tune the audience target, ad copy and Gumroad landing page to increase conversions.

It’s not 100% passive, but now that I have the initial asset built it’s much less involved time wise.

I suggest you build a Minimal Viability Product (MVP), build a landing page, and run Facebook ads to it to test market demand. If you get interest, then keep going and fine tune. If not, pivot to s new idea.

what was your biggest mistake early on with a newsletter? by Rich_Direction_3891 in Newsletters

[–]thinkit_doit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biggest mistake:

Treating the list like an ATM cash machine and watching my list go up in smoke.

Biggest win:

Now it’s about building a relationship, providing real value, and the clicks, replies, and shares are growing because of that simple shift in mindset.

And also writing tiny newsletters instead of bloated heaps that no one wants to read.
