Check out these ads. Notice anything similar?

None of their models are looking at the camera.

And for good reason. Here's why direct eye contact doesn't always work in advertising 👇 Image
When we see ads that show models looking at a product, we're more likely to remember the product and brand.

Why?

We're hardwired to notice faces.

And when we see eyes looking over at something else (known as averted eye gaze), we're naturally drawn to look, too. Image
You can use the power of the averted gaze to point visitors' attention toward wherever you want them to focus.

Think CTA buttons, headlines, and other important copy.

Take a look at how averted gaze here on Salesforce's homepage guides you to look at their important stats. Image

If you want to consistently get better performance on your ads, open this:
First, some symptoms you're doing it wrong:
- Random spikes in growth.
- You brainstorm ad ideas from scratch every time.
- You have no arsenal of learnings to pull from for new ad ideas.

If you can relate to these, keep reading.
What you're experiencing is a lack of strategy.

So let's slow down for a minute. Stop throwing ideas at a wall to see what sticks. Start making informed hypotheses.

Over 90% of online courses go unfinished.

You start one intending to complete it, but it ends up on the back burner.

And if we're being honest, you know you'll never open that course again.

But it's not the students fault. Blame the format.

A few common course mistakes:
1. Excessive course length

Unless their job depends on it, no one will sit through an 80-hour course.

And most of that 80 hours is fluff anyway. They're like most non-fiction books: a few insights scattered throughout a sea of noise.

Here's how to fix:
Cut all the bs. No one wants to sit through hours of fluff for a single gold nugget.

Make it concise and concentrated.

If a student came to learn email marketing, you shouldn't have 20 hours on the history of email in your course.

Which leads to the next mistake:

The best companies have unforgettable brands.

Yet most startups completely neglect their brand.

Avoid these 5 common mistakes to significantly impact your chances of success.

(Increase WOM, decrease CAC, increase LTV, and other 3-letter acronyms.)

Let's dive in:
❌ Mistake #1: Painting broad demographic strokes.

A lot of marketers create super broad personas. They try to appeal to everyone.

But if you took that approach, you'd end up with both King Charles and Ozzy Osbourne in your funnel.

Two very different people 🤪
Here's a more practical example:

❌ Restaurant Owners

✅ Brooklyn restaurant owners with < 20 staff who sell cocktails along with food.

Hyper-specificity helps you understand how to speak to your customers.

And your messaging will sound targeted to their needs.
