Startup advice from Star Trek…

It’s not about the “4-hour workweeks.” It IS about this…

SCOTTY: She’s all yours, sir. All systems automated and ready. A chimpanzee and two trainees could run her!

CAPTAIN KIRK: Thank you , Mr. Scott. I’ll try not to take that personally.

– Star Trek

Have you read Tim Ferriss seminal work, The 4-Hour Workweek, yet?

I highly recommend it.

However…

Many people get this book all wrong. They think it’s all about working only 4-hours a week. That that could never work for them.

But it’s not about that, at all!

Although the book’s “title” is true to what the author accomplished at one point in his life, the book is really about systems, automation, and time freedom.

It’s about being able to live and do what you LOVE in life. Not being tied down to a j-o-b or any ONE LOCATION…

Being time rich, with plenty of income to live like you want, over being time poor, with money, but no life at all. (Think of most CEOs)

It all boils down to the Star Trek quote we started off today’s note with.

It’s all about having systems and automation set up so your business practically runs itself.

Even if you could run it for 2-4 hours a DAY, from anywhere in the world; your home, while traveling, at coffee shops…

…That could be pretty great, right?

===> That’s the type of business this allows you

It was built around the 4-Hour Workweek diameters.

May take you a bit more time to get things rolling, but it’ll be 100% worth it!

Just get through the 21-steps as quickly as possible.

And also, check out the 4-Hour Workweek book, if you’d like. (Or, revisit it.) It’s changed lives.

What Smartwatches Mean for Email Marketing Campaigns

Both Apple and Samsung have created their own version of a smartwatch that link to a user’s respective smartphone. Users can send text messages, use a variety of smartwatch-enabled apps, to check their email.

While smartphones have brought users conveniences like Google at their fingertips, interactive messaging features, and social media apps on the go, smartwatches are on their way to doing the same thing. No need to pull out your phone when you can check your messages the same way you check the time.

Since their introduction to the market, Apple has sold over 13 million of their Apple watches. As these watches begin to penetrate mobile technology, let’s take a closer look at how that will impact email marketing campaigns.

Smaller interface means a shorter subject line

Email marketers should prioritize short, concise subject lines to make their content quick to read and easy to digest. Research on unique subject lines revealed that three-word subject lines have the highest engagement, but seven-word subject lines are most common.

Word choice is extremely important given you only get a few. When drafting a subject line, stay away from these trigger words that ranked low on engagement rate:

 
• Free, help, reminder—triggers spam filters and users often associate these emails with bombarding, repetitive messages
 
• Tired internet slang such as bae, fleek, ftw—rank low on open rates because they are mistaken for text messages
 
• FWD: and RE: lead to a sense of deceptive familiarity and are reminiscent of chain emails – too long!

Links, hashtags, and graphics could be in trouble

Subject lines accompanied by long URLs and hashtags have less than 10% engagement. URLs and hashtags also take up valuable space in an already small screen.

Email marketers should focus on a strong call-to-action in the email body. Just as the subject line, call-to-action statements should be clear, concise, and to the point.

Without optimizing your emails, images and gifs will either not load or not appear to be the right size on a smartwatch screen. Unless you’ve tested your images and are certain they will function correctly, it’s best to forgo them.

The Apple Watch doesn’t automatically download images when it is opened, so email marketers need to prepare alternative ways to engage with their readers. Include the graphics, but switch to HTML if you haven’t already to take advantage of the tag for email images.

Clean, easy to read emails

As with certain images and graphics, there are email templates that will cause issues for smartwatch users. Most email templates are designed for desktops and laptops with HTML widths of about 600 pixels.

Email templates are often too wide for most smartphones, so it goes without saying how this would taint the viewing experience on a smartphone. These inconsistencies could also prevent horizontal scrolling.

Email marketers should consider that confined space that smartwatches have and adapt their email template to a single column format or plain text. This format is easy-to-read and doesn’t require horizontal scrolling.

Think about the face of a smartwatch and the size of your index finger. If buttons and hyperlinks are too small, there’s a possibility that you could open the wrong thing. It’s not long before a user will close an email in frustration and forget what they were going to click on entirely.

With a strong call-to-action, email marketers should consider designing action buttons that are easily accessible. Buttons should be large, visible, and easy to tap on a smartwatch screen.

Email campaigns will take a little more thinking to reach smartwatch users correctly and effectively. Now that you know how smartwatches will affect your marketing display and open rates, keeping the user experience in mind is crucial.

Your customers read your emails on a variety of devices.

Content You Didn’t Know You Had and How to Use It

Content marketing is extremely important when it comes to navigating the online world. Knowing which content to market and how is equally as important.Content marketing is extremely important when it comes to navigating the online world. Knowing which content to market and how is equally as important.

From social media to blogging, it is crucial for a business to establish its identity and find elements that express it properly. Content that is relatable and can be easily shared will take your campaigns from good to great.

How do you stay Google-relevant while maintaining a unique content marketing strategy? Read on for strategies that will enhance your next campaign.

Move past corporatization

Now more than ever, businesses have an all-access pass to their audiences. There’s no need to have a wall between corporate and the customers. Forming real relationships with the people who love you brand will not only keep them coming back, but attract others as well.

Your customers need to know that you are people just like them. Your business should express the passion that you and your employees have for what you do.

Remove the veil of mystery of your business and be more open with your customers. How do you turn openness into content?

• Utilize social media accounts such as Twitter and Instagram to give a behind-the-scenes look at the work your company is doing
• Confront rumors and myths through transparent and honest videos that allow your customers to interact and get involved in the process

Don’t be afraid to share those photos of late-night work sessions. Answer the questions that your customers have.

If you think that coming out and talking about some of the issues your company has, take this opportunity to address these issues and let people know you’re working on it.

Just because you’re marketing online doesn’t mean your company should get lost behind the internet. Show your customers real faces and establish trust.

Be more than just a brand

It’s one thing to sell a product and another to sell a lifestyle. Content marketing that offers a lifestyle through their products makes their products need, not just wanted.

Instead of beginning with a product, start with your targeted customer. Ask yourself the following questions when developing a targeted customer profile:

• What is their life like at this moment, without your product(s)?
• How would their life be better with your product(s)?
• How does using your product make them part of a different class?

Think about how your product will fit seamlessly into the life of your targeted customer. Tailor your content to an individual customer rather than your brand.

Cater to your customers by: 

• Engaging with unexpected topics
• Put forward content that creates unique experiences—videos, product presentation
• Strive to work with like-minded collaborators
• Targeting their personalities from music tastes to fashion interests

This strategy will require more care than simply posting a somewhat-relevant blog or barely meaningful photos. Dig deep into the psyche of your customer and use your content to reach them there.

Let your followers share their story

Your followers are a big part of your success. Without them, no one’s buying your products, sharing your videos, or reading your blogs.

Content that evokes emotion through relatable or provocative stories invited audiences to share such an experience. Of course, these stories need to be real, genuine, and purposeful.

Companies that are genuine in their aim to support their customers and hear their story will be successful. Letting followers be a part of the story by sharing their experiences and attracting like-minded people will build community amongst your customers.

Create a platform where your followers can share their experiences. Be it a forum, a video-sharing challenge, or a hashtag, give your followers a chance to connect with you and others.

Knowing how your customers use your product is valuable insight that can be used to deliver creative content. Content that captures attention, is relatable, and is easy to share will take off in virality.

Set your blog, articles, and infographics apart by: 

• Sharing information on general personal habits of your customers – people love reading about themselves!
• Integrating attractive, original photos from your followers – stock photos are a turn off

There are a variety of resources for your company to create content from. If your business has customers, that means you have just as many stories, photos, and knowledge to share that will express your love of what you do.

Showing your customers that you are more than just a company will take you a long way. For more ideas on how to create a unique, winning content marketing strategy for your business, check out my done-for-you system.

A Halt in Traffic: Lack of Reviews is Effecting Your Business and Here’s Why

Reviews are a great way for your customers to get an idea of what your customer service is like. Through reviews they know what services your offer, how well you offer them, and the quality of your products without even leaving their home.Reviews are a great way for your customers to get an idea of what your customer service is like. Through reviews they know what services your offer, how well you offer them, and the quality of your products without even leaving their home.

Reviews are also a valuable tool for a business to know what their customers think about them. It’s a convenient way to get honest feedback of your services and find out what you need to fix to keep your customers satisfied.

What your customers say about you is just as much advertising for your business as any marketing strategy you could employ. It’s unfiltered, honest, and sometimes a bit dramatic.

While reviews can be loud and sometimes deceiving, no reviews at all can garner the same effect. Are no reviews better than bad reviews? 

Read ahead to find out.

Is your business good or bad? No one knows…

90% of consumers read online reviews before visiting a business. If there are no reviews, there’s no way for a potential consumer to know whether your business is worth visiting or not.

Google has made it convenient to avoid businesses that have a bad reputation without setting foot near their actual establishment. Ensuring good customer service, professionalism, and reliability are now easier than ever.

While this has made the shopping process easier on the consumer, the same can’t be said for businesses. Why would a customer visit a business with no online reviews when they can find a place that people can confirm they will have a good experience?

Place yourself in the mindset of a consumer. When you’re looking for a product or service, chances are you are not in the mood to experiment with quality and service. A business with a lack of reviews leaves much to the imagination.

Unfortunately, reviews are one of those things that without them, people will stay away. How do you get more reviews to establish the authenticity and reliability that you know your business has?

 
• Encourage customers who buy a product to review your business at the check-out counter or shopping cart
 
• Follow-up with a customer to see how they like their product or service and ask permission to publish their responses or quotes

Customers can’t trust your business

As with anything, rather than jump into something they know nothing about, customers like to do a little research about a business before they visit. They want to know all about who you are, what you do, and how you do it.

It’s fair to say you wouldn’t hand your money over to a stranger. Neither would a potential customer trust a business they know nothing about.

For instance, if you’re looking to get your wedding cake made, an online review of a local bakery could go a long way. What does this bakery offer? What do their cakes taste like? Are the bakers experienced in making what I want? Will they deliver on time?

You’re not going to go to a bakery that has no reviews. What if you get stuck with a cake that looks terrible or tastes… not like cake?

Your customer is the same. 72% of customers say that positive reviews make them trust a local business more an 88% of customers trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations.

Don’t make the review process a chore

It’s common for people to think “I had a good experience with this company. I don’t feel compelled to write a positive review because if my experience wasn’t positive, then I would let people know about it”.

This mentality follows the idea that people are more likely to post negative reviews rather than positive ones. You need to encourage your customers to move away from this mentality and share their good experiences, just as they share the bad.

Just because there are no positive reviews doesn’t mean there are no positive experiences—but your customers don’t know that. Increase the amount of positive reviews for your company by making the review process as easy and attractive as possible:

 
• Send a direct link to your profile on review sites
 
• Encourage your customer to rate your company on Facebook
 
• Provide incentive for posting a review
 
• Create a memorable customer service experience worth sharing

A few reviews are better than no reviews. Make it a point to share your positive reviews across social media platforms for maximum visibility.

When you chat with friends about online purchasing, you will be amazed to find the value that they place in reviews and how it influences their buying decisions. 

The importance of online reviews

Business that are “comfortable” with their following and can’t complain about their profits tend to ignore online reviews. They are satisfied with what they can see in front of them, but they have no idea how the internet could ruin their reputation or stunt them from growth.

Online reviews influence:

 
• Buying decisions
 
• Online rankings
 
• Conversion rates

Customers are likely to spend 31% more on a business with “excellent” reviews. Businesses that neglect the importance of online reviews are missing out on profits. They’re not necessarily losing money but they could be making a lot more.

There will always be competitors. Online reviews affect how you fare against local competition and can keep you aware of your shortcomings.

The more honest reviews you have, the more your product will sell because customers must find out for themselves if what is being said is true. These reviews are sincere and show that your company has nothing to hide.
