Recently I saw a funny video on Youtube. It was titled “Basketball Awareness Test” There is a team wearing white, and a team wearing black. You are instructed to count how many passes do the white team make. After the correct answer is revealed the narrator asks, “but have you seen the moonwalking bear?” And the shocker is, while the viewer was focused on the white team, he didn’t see the moonwalking bear. Now, since I have already mentioned “invisible moonwalking bear” on the title, I have warned you to look for it. And I may have spoiled the surprise for you. But this is called “selective attention” in psychology. I’ll embed 2 more videos I like from YouTube, without spoiling them, to see how much you may be susceptible to selective attention. The fact is, most people, when their attention is focused on one specific thing, they miss many other things which are staring them right in the face. That’s all fun and good, you say. But what does it have to do with marketing? Well, the thing is, most business owners focus so much on the daily operations of their business, they miss a lot of marketing opportunities which look at them right in their faces. That’s the value of hiring a marketing expert to look at your marketing systems and give you feedback. What if “invisible moonwalking bear” of your business, is an idea that can potentially add a six to seven figure revenue? What if you are missing opportunities to multiply the impact you can make on your target market? For example, in one marketing seminar, Jay Abraham talks about “37 ways to make more money using your customer list”. There are many small business owners who never message their list. Those who do, almost never use more than 2-3 of those ideas. What unused or underused assets do you have in your business? Where is the money you are leaving on the table?

Many people in the online marketing world have what I like to call lottery mentality. Get rich quick. Push a magic button, make millions. Make a mega-launch and earn millions of dollars, and never have to work again. It sounds good, but it is more hyperbole than truth. First, many of the “overnight success” you see, is based on years, if not decades of hard work. Second, even if you do become lucky and make a windfall of cash, if you have not built the skills, the relationships, the assets over time, it is not sustainable. You never know if you can ever repeat the same success. It is like the story of the hare vs tortoise. Slow and steady wins the race. Daily, consistent habits are not glamorous. And at first, it sounds like tedious work. But over time, results grow exponentially. Here are 3 habits that Dan Kennedy used to build his own business, when he was new, 40+ years ago. Doing these things consistently over a long period of time is what made him the living legend he is today. ... I think these are very good habits for anyone who wants to be a top expert in his field. Study your topic every day. Write content every day. Promote yourself every day. What do you think? Do you have your own daily habits to grow your business? Let me know what you think, by sending me an email or commenting on social media. Would you like my help with your online marketing?

Use voice over to make videos Videos are everywhere online these days. %85 of online traffic is video. 500 hours of video content is uploaded to YouTube every minute. Videos are more attraction grabbing, and people consume, share and interact with videos more than any other content type. Videos are not just for free content on your blog or social media either. Video ads on facebook and youtube attract attention and clicks better than anything else. Don’t forget the increasing demand for online learning and tutorials either. Most people learn much better when they watch a video, compared to only reading text. Of course there is more to video than voice over. But for simple screen recording type of videos, voice over is the most important component. When you have text and the voice over, you can make video. 2) Convert your blog posts and articles to podcasts Many people listen to music and podcasts while they drive, exercise, or run errands. Podcasts have mostly replaced radio. Popular podcast directories like itunes, spotify and others have millions of regular users. One thing about audio content is, there is less distractions compared to being in front of a screen. You don’t have 23 tabs open and 17 pop up notifications trying to grab your attention. So podcasts can be very effective to reach some markets. 3) Use voice over to create audio ads The same reasons that makes audio content and podcasts effective, are also the reasons that make audio ads effective. No distractions, you have direct access to the ears of your target market. All the popular podcast directories also have paid advertising options. If you rather spend some money on audio ads than time to create audio content, this may also be a very effective way to reach your target audience. Would you like me to do voice overs for you?

I’m sorry I didn’t send an email or published content for more than two weeks. But I wasn’t exactly a couch bum resting in those weeks. Therefore I have some good and exciting news. First, I had a client that asked me for help with a content marketing and social media strategy. I can not share the full details here, but through our discussions, I think we came up with a pretty solid strategy. A strategy that can help anyone position themselves as an expert in say, 6 months, and start making a full time income. And potentially, in 2-5 years, positioning as a world-class expert, a 7-figure biz. I’ll talk a lot about this content marketing and social media strategy, in the future. Second thing is, I’m seriously learning more about videos. Especially, explainer white board and cartoon style animated videos. Such videos are possibly among the most engaging content types online. And there are so many benefits to using them. Now, my baseline content will still be voice over screen recordings like this. However it is a very good idea to also include fun and engaging videos with your other content. So you can also expect me to talk much more about video and audio content in the future too. Also, I have been going through Jeff Walker’s Product Launch Formula… Even the free information he gives away during those launches make my head spin with ideas. I have so many ideas about launching products and services in the upcoming months now. I’m so excited, just by watching his videos. One thing is for certain: I’ll keep publishing content daily, and will keep growing my list, and connecting with my community. That is the foundation of all my other plans. I’ll also encourage you to give me more feedback. Feel free to ask me questions, send me comments or suggestions about anything you like, or don’t like. Let me know what are the struggles you have. What do you need help with? What are your goals? What are the roadblocks that are keeping you from achieving your goals? Reply to this email, or comment on any other media you can. I read them all, and it will help me create even more valuable content for you. Have you subscribed to my email list? If not go to unfairadvantageagency.com/subscribe .
