Stop chasing vanity metrics.

Instead, put all your focus on optimizing these 6 user-behavior metrics to drive growth 🧡
1. Awareness

Generating brand awareness is the act of winning someone's attention.

Whether content marketing, paid marketing, or influencer marketing, attention is the bridge to building trust.

Once you have it -- don't waste it.
2. Acquisition

Your acquisition efforts refer to the first moment a customer exchanges their info for value creation.

To optimize your acquisition efforts follow The Bullseye Framework to test and find your next growth channel.

3. Activation

Customers want to be delighted from the first customer touch point and ongoing.

If not, the chances of getting the consumer to act drops significantly.

Don’t want to f*ck this up?

Have an onboarding strategy that focuses on time to value.
What’s the activation/onboarding road map look like?

For ex:

They just signed up for a newsletter β€” what’s next?

Someone just installed your app β€” what’s next?

Your onboarding process always answers what’s next.
4. Retention

There are two types of businesses:

1. Toot it and boot it - meaning buy once and never communicate again

2. Looking for a long term relationship - investing time and money in making their customers happy and a part of the life cycle of the brand

Be option #2.
Retention = long-term growth.

Retention drives:

- Acquisition (word of mouth, referrals)
- Monetization (same customer buying over and over)
- Affinity (people loving your brand)

Strategies to improve retention:
5. Referrals

Referrals are the missing element that creates a machine that feeds itself.

Where all your acquisition efforts reinvest themself into more ouput.

I wrote all about it here:

6. Revenue

Your customer is here.

They’ve bought your product, use it, and love it.

Jobs not finished though.

Your focus should be on these 3 metrics:

My client's e-book hit $250k in lifetime sales in just over a year.

His goal was $100k.

And we've spent less than $20k on ads.

Here's exactly how we did it 🧡
1. Product

He was releasing a fitness product in the middle of the pandemic which sounds like a recipe for disaster.

So creating something relevant was a must.

With that, we decided on a program that would only need 3 pieces of equipment.

Time to test the waters
2. Testing

We wanted to see if the demand was there.

So I quickly spun up a quick funnel and pushed an early-bird deal to his social following.

Our goal was to hit 50 pre-order purchases that first day.

We hit over 70.

We knew we had something.

Time to scale.

Nothing beats an effective referral program.

Dropbox used one to grow their userbase by 3900% in 15 months.

And I'm going to show you how.

Here are 7 referral programs you can use 🧡
1. Refinable

Refinable, a marketplace for NFTs created a referral program that incentives users to refer friends to unlock NFTs.

The more friends you refer, the rarer the NFT.

And the rarer the NFT, the less there is of it - creating a sense of urgency.
2. @SahilBloom and @gregisenberg

Last month, Sahil and Greg launched their exclusive community called "The Room Where It Happens."

Want to join?

Refer 3 friends and access is all yours.

Epic use of a referral program for a launch.

13 Copywriting Tips From Apple 🧡
1. Focus on one idea

Each Apple headline focuses on one idea.

It draws all attention and awareness to that benefit.

By keeping the focus on one idea, Apple is able to communicate its message effectively.
2. Write for scanners

76% of website goers are scanners.

Apple follows three rules when writing for this:

- Big headlines to showcase one idea
- Use sub-headlines to entice scanners to read
- Use the inverted pyramid for paragraphs (biggest benefit to smallest)
