    Funnel for a novel: my first test

    MARKETING 
    Perhaps you can hone down on the problems your novel solves that others don't? Like maybe you've heard others complain about about the way certain heroes are and your novel addresses that need? Why should someone pick up your novel above others? I think clarifying on this will help with the...

    Is Tiktok the best social media app to promote your work?

    MARKETING 
    One method I've heard is to start with the problem and end with the solution as the content. The problem or what they want can be the hook of the video. And you then slowly transition to the solution (e.g. information on how to get what they want).

    Attempting to Build A Productocracy [Niche > Problem > Pre-sell > Solution]

    HOT! INTRO 
    Day 162-167 Trying to solve the problem At the moment, the book stands at a whooping... *drumroll* 46 pages. I think length is irrelevant and what's most important is making sure the problem is solved haha. It's a bit like a rough draft and maybe like having all the lego pieces and a sub...

    Is Tiktok the best social media app to promote your work?

    MARKETING 
    Sure, it's a great marketing tool. You could even say it's spearheading the fleet of social media platforms into uncharted territory. While there's youtube shorts and instagram reels which you could post on, most people would say TikTok is where "it's at" for the moment. This in turn, adds to...

    Soft proof

    EXECUTION 
    Isn't that something like Honey? A tool that's used to find people the lowest discount of a product? Perhaps try honing down on who your target market is (you may be able to find them on a subreddit if it's B2C) (A). See what they complain about (B). Then make an offer to them as if the product...

    EXECUTION 
    If you have a product idea (that you know solves a problem), you could ask your target market if they'd be interested?

    HOT! INTRO 
    Those are some really good ideas Mike! Especially the idea of giving them some free chapters to allow them to see the value in the book! I was thinking of getting them to sign up on the website to be able to buy the book? Then with your strategy, give them the option of either getting the free...

    Day 155-161 Creating the solution (Book) I've outlined the ebook in what I think is the best way possible to solve all problems. I'm working on each section and it hopefully should come out next week. But, I know moving forward I'll need to pre sell it, to have the customer use it and confirm...

    Day 143-155 Problem found. Validated-ish. Solution being created Summary: Found a problem. Solving a problem. (The method does not matter I'd say) Heyoooo, ok I apologise in advance, but I have to keep this short because I'm working on a strict kind of deadline. I'll hopefully post a full...

    Can't decide if this book idea is amazing or terrible

    IDEA 
    I think if the idea for the book was born from a real need (frustration, annoying, time consuming) you faced, it's got a good shot. If you want to confirm whether others share this need, you could search some relevant forums that relate to real estate in Sweden to see if anyone was complaining...

    From a broke Uber Driver $9k behind on rent to $30k Per Month...QUESTIONS?

    GOLD! HOT! EXECUTION 
    In retrospect, I think an important part of your awe inspiring story is to solve a real problem and communicate the problem and solution appropriately to your ideal target audience (the people who need your product the most). You must offer relative value. In that sense, I think the reason why...

    Google unfairly banned my ads account. How do I overcome that?

    MARKETING 
    From my research, you could also try changing your payment card to Google. Apparently, the advice for this is that some people may already have your card details and have created a new google ads account with it.

    Im struggling with productivity because i lack a why

    INTRO 
    Oh that's fine. Let's call it a no more entertainment session then. Instead of disabling your phone, only use it for critical tasks to make that first sale. This means no youtube, TikTok, or random googles unless actually critical. Else put the tech away. You just might get bored enough that the...

    Im struggling with productivity because i lack a why

    INTRO 
    I think I understand how you mean in that you do have a why, but it doesn't get you emotional. One way is to make it tantalising, real, and specific in such a way it makes you go "YEAAAHH" instead of "yeah". For example, my previous why was to "Help relieve my parents of financial stress."...
