Here is Neil Patel using a variation of that angle in an email.

If content is no longer king, then who rules the digital realm?

The truth is, there is no more crown. Modern content marketing is more of a parliamentary democracy.

Content is still important and worth creating. But to have an impact, it needs the support of these two branches: experience and engagement.

On Tuesday, January 16, I'll share my new strategy to help you do better in 2024.

All the top dogs are jumping on board with this. Remember, it's just an angle! It's a carrot being dangled to gain subscribers to further the funnel, and then close, close, close and convert.

Here is the test:
Take away content and you have nothing.

All that statement makes is a generic suggestion. It remains that not just content, but the quality of content is what makes it king and what makes traffic queen. This will never change.

As for my posting the latest email from Neil, I was simply demonstrating that all the top dogs are running this angle in their campaigns and I was posting nothing more than an example.

The information highway is all about content, everything else is secondary, tertiary, quaternary, etc., etc.

IDK --I want

1. Product
2. Selection
3. Status
4. Self-gratification
5. and at FAIR COST VALUE

Not a wall of words, rambling or in a funnel trajectory, ending with a manipulative CTA.

If your *content* does this --then we are in semantic discord

WHAT. IS. THE. PROBLEM.?

 

[Graybeard]

Why should anyone believe a random internet website found in Google?

WHAT. IS. THE. PROBLEM.?

It's that in a nutshell. Is it reliable? Is it trustworthy?

Overcoming objection and doubt is the most difficult thing in marketing anything.
Getting a commitment matters the most --and acting upon it ...

 

[T J Tutor]

Overcoming objection and doubt is the most difficult thing in marketing anything.

Many confuse objections with conditions.

"I don't want a red car" is an objection and can be overcome.
"I only buy red cars" is a condition of sale and should not be treated as an objection. I love conditions because conditions can be met, whereas objections must be overcome and like the word no, they typically require at least seven reasonable and intelligent attempts to overcome by a seasoned seller. In the past, seasoned sellers have had an average of hearing "no" seven times before hearing a "yes" when dealing with objections.

While I love conditions because they are easy to meet most of the time one way or another, after years of training and experience I can say I love objections too as I became a master at overcoming objections. That is where the true art of selling resides and once you develop the skills for it you then have really great fun at selling. You can professionally qualify the prospect, properly design the sales experience for them, and lead them by the hand to closing the deal.

 

[Graybeard]

Objections are closing opportunities. Objections are just reasons I don't want to buy.
Confidence and trust matter a whole lot. That kills most deals (sales or conversions). Doubt is the real enemy -- not objections.

Internet sales are not mutual negotiation in most cases --there are exceptions --like bidding auctions.

Objections are not heard on the internet --AI chats may empower that in the near future IDK if that will be believable, we will see.

On the internet: Objections are addressed in a pro-forma manner --In anticipation.
You run the danger of bringing up doubts by trying to address objection that never even occurred to a potential client/referral/customer/mark ...

So, we resort to reasons to buy and some common assurances, like: we won't sell your email (fixed policy), no question return policy and a price guarantee (with some restrictive terms of protect our own interests).

I don't trust random websites "reviews" at all most are just fiction. "As seen on name media" is also very questionable --unless that is referenced on the website that claims the 'acclamation' my bullshit meter goes off the scale when I see that on some unknown website.

Trust is KING --that creates deals and sales. It always has and will continue to be so. It is just the way the human mind works --we buy from our friends --never forget that.

** the exception is buying out an adversary --then facts and legal standing is what matters most --potential is very secondary.

That's a guru moment!

Absolutely agree!

Trust is essential for me when I buy anything online. Too many potential hazards these days.

As far as buying from friends - people buy from people, not companies or corporations, for sure. Our reps were always told that when they were new.

Yeah, that was kind of his tempo in the back room discussions. He and my dad had similarities. My family had a very successful upscale restaurant and nightclub. His montra for the family was always "Kill them with kindness and then kill them".

Motivation is a choice
lack of it
also a choice

 

[Graybeard]

This week my choices are due to the incompetence and errors of others.
Pivot and do something else until they fix it.

Planning is really a bad joke this week ... up to plan c ffs

 

[Graybeard]

They got the message I guess it was fixed today.

Always problems --making slow progress however.

I started on another part of this project until it was fixed.

You have to have a pivot planned --always and not sit idle.
Time waits for no man is the saying ...

sudouser@localhost:/path/public_html/scr$ grep -c 'Response Size: 19' request_log.txt
0 last 24  hrs
sudouser@localhost:/path/public_html/scr$ grep -c 'Response Size: 19' request_log.log.1
35 before
sudouser@localhost:/vpath/public_html/scr$

Like I know how to count --intermittent problems on server are the worst --hopefully it has been fixed permanently
