Increase Your Conversion Rate with Scarcity and Urgency

blank

Scarcity and urgency are the two best ways to increase your conversion rate.

But most online business owners don’t know how to apply them for maximum effect. Here are five powerful psychology principles to help you increase your conversion rate…

…that will send you course and membership sales through the roof 

Conversion rate optimization strategies

  1. Limited-Time Offer: Create a sense of urgency by providing a deadline. Set a specific date and time when your offer ends. This will encourage potential customers to act quickly, not wanting to miss out on the opportunity and will increase your conversion rate.
  2. Limited Enrolment: Cap the number of people who can enroll in your course or program. This creates exclusivity and a sense of urgency. Prospective students will want to enroll quickly before the course fills up. 
  3. Limited Access: Restrict access to your course or membership. Only allow enrollment during your launches and make sure people are aware that if they miss this chance they will have to wait until you next launch if they want to sign up.
  4. Limited Time Bonuses: Add bonuses that are only available for a limited time. These bonuses should be valuable enough to make prospective students act fast to enroll before they miss out on the extra benefits. 
  5. Early-Bird Discount: Reward your early customers with a special price. This is a time-sensitive offer that creates urgency and scarcity. Prospective students will want to enroll early to take advantage of the discount before it expires. 

There you have it! Five scarcity and urgency tactics that will make your online course or membership irresistible and will help you increase your conversion rate. Start implementing these conversion rate optimization tools today and watch your conversions grow.

How Not to Write a Boring Ad

How Not to Write a Boring Ad

Ad optimization

Back to the funnel at hand that needs ad optimization. This is the ad that caught my eye.

  • Learn how to rewire your brain

Now you have to remember I am a convert, which brings me to mistake #1 from this easy-to-follow Ad optimization strategy.

Ad optimization Tip 1

Be specific but don’t target too narrow an audience

I believe we can rewire our brains.

I know what’s possible when people rewire their brains, and I am looking for guidance on “how to”?

I am product-aware.

As for every other offer in the world, the solution-aware group will be the smallest cold audience group you can try to tap into. 

Unless the total addressable market is massive, most cold advertising to this group will fail. 

The stages of awareness that your customers fall into are as follows:

  • Unaware
  • Problem Aware
  • Solution Aware
  • Product Aware
  • Most Aware

Your cold ads need to target potential customers in the problem and solution-aware phases.

Lot’s of people want the benefits of neuroplasticity, but they’ve no clue what neuroplasticity is.

In this case, they’ll breeze right past this ad.

Ad optimization Tip 2

Don’t focus on the vehicle, focus on the destination

There is no primary promise in this ad.

This ad in no way answers the golden question… What’s in this for me?

It’s a good advertisement for neuroplasticity, but no one wants neuroplasticity.

Everyone wants what’s possible when they have a brain that can quickly learn and adapt.

And the fact is, most people don’t even care about that level. 

They want what they will feel on the next level after that.

They want attention and applause as they sit around the campfire playing everyone’s favorite song on their guitar.

They want the big house in the hills when their business takes off, and they make millions.

They want a “fully booked practice” when they can teach their clients to achieve remarkable things by teaching them how to develop neuroplasticity.

Ad optimization Tip 3

Don’t make it about you

Yes, we want to provide social proof. 

Yes, we want to provide proof that our program works. 

But instead of saying how brilliant you are, make it about your clients. 

Talk about the results your clients have achieved.

No one cares if this is your number 1 best-selling course.

Turn… 

“Neuroplasticity: How to rewire your brain” is our number one bestselling course. Over 114,000 participants have joined us already.”

….Into (and yes, I’m going to go a little overboard, but)…

Join over 114,000 people who have discovered my step-by-step blueprint to learn any skill 242% faster, effortlessly.

From getting a promotion or building your dream business, to finding a new job or cracking your childhood dream of solving the Rubik’s Cube. 

You will discover simple steps that you can apply every day to every task to hit your goals and create the life of your dreams. 

Ad optimization Tip 4

Don’t include the price in the ad unless it’s a major selling point

Just because something is $35 doesn’t mean it is attractive to people.

Including a price in your ad should only be done if it makes it a no-brainer for people.

Let’s say you are Tony Robbins, and people know you sell a program for $1,997.

If you are selling it for $35, that is an amazing deal, and people will buy it.

Let’s say you are retargeting your email list with ads, and they know the cheapest program you offer is $1,997.

If you launch a mini program at $35, that is an amazing deal, and people will buy it.

Sales Page Optimization – How Not to Write a Dull Sales Page

sales page optimization

The gateway to unlocking unparalleled conversions and turning casual visitors into loyal customers is through sales page optimization. Brain Academy are using a simple (but challenging) Facebook ad > Mini-Product funnel.

For a $37 product this is not unheard of.

However, it puts a massive premium on the offer and your offer page copy.

You need to be elite-level to get this to work.

Unfortunately, like the previous steps, this offer page shows a lot of common mistakes infomarketers make. 

Sales Page Optimization Tip 1:

Don’t include general navigation on your sales page

This is a massive no-no.

The header section is a valuable space.

The #1 thing you need to include is a big buy now button.

You can include links, but make sure they are links to sections within the sales page.

Leading people away from the sales page back to the home page or about us page is a recipe for killing your conversion rates.

Sales Page Optimization Tip 2:

Don’t fluff the headline

$0.80 of your $1 is spent on your headline.

Brain Academy falls into the trap of talking about the vehicle rather than 

  1. i) the problem they solve or 
  2. ii) the ultimate promise they help people achieve.

I’m not going to repeat myself from the ad review section but despite telling people what the product does there is no away from or toward motivation imparted.

There is nothing for potential customers to get excited about and no reason for them to keep reading.

00073-s3-Brain-Academy-mini-front-end-offer-page-2-sales-page-optimization

Sales Page Optimization Tip 3:

Don’t have a weak (and buried) primary promise

Somewhere down the page we finally come to the primary promise.

But unfortunately, it’s as weak as a 3-second dipped tea bag.

“Take life back into their own hands”

People want to be inspired. They want to imagine themselves as the heroes of their own story.

They need specifics about what their life will be like once they are endowed with their new superpower. 

But they are lazy. They can’t imagine it for themselves. They need you to spell it out.

They need to know how much, by when, and how they can get a guaranteed result with as little work as possible.

This might sound like direct marketer speak, but it is true.

And your offer needs to be designed from the ground up so you can make these claims

00073-s3-Brain-Academy-mini-front-end-offer-page-3-sales-page-optimization

Sales Page Optimization Tip 4:

Don’t turn people off buying with dull module titles

If you don’t turn every module title into a curiosity-inducing, excitement-building, benefit-laden knock-out reason to buy, don’t list them on your sales page.

Unfortunately, this is a feature of teachable that I get all my clients to switch off immediately.

Seriously who is going to buy – “Scope of this course” or “neuroplasticity-sensorial-motoric-exercises”

No one wants to sit through hours of video. 

They want the greatest possible result, in the shortest possible time frame, with the least possible effort.

For titles to be inspiring they need to promise a big win.

That is what the person will be able to do when they have learned this skill or technique.

Implementing a robust sales page optimization strategy is not just about increasing conversions; it’s a dynamic process that involves understanding your audience, refining your messaging, and continually adapting to market trends. By prioritizing user experience, A/B testing, and data-driven insights, you can fine-tune your sales page to resonate with your target audience and maximize your business’s potential for sustained success.

Optimizing ChatGPT for Direct Response Mastery

ChatGPT is a horrible copywriter. There I’ve said it. However, it is an amazing impersonator that can help you easily unlock the art of direct response mastery.

Next time you are asking ChatGPT for copy, give it a famous copywriter to mimic.

Let’s say you are asking ChatGPT to draft a headline for your opt-in page.

Set your ChatGPT prompt up as normal. Here’s the previous library to choose from:

Then ask ChatGPT to refine the headlines in the voices of one of the direct response greats.

Here’s my go to list:

  • Eugene Schwartz
  • Gary Halbert
  • Joseph Sugarman
  • Claude Hopkins
  • David Ogilvy
  • Bob Bly
  • Clayton Makepeace
  • John Carlton
  • Ben Settle
  • Todd Brown
  • Jeff Walker
  • Dan Kennedy
  • Brian Kurtz

It’s scary to see how well ChatGPT can ape the voices of these copywriters.

The style and tone might not be right for your audience, but it is cool to see the different slants put on each headline by these legends of Direct Response Mastery.

Lead Gen Mistakes – How Not to Generate Leads

Lead Gen Mistakes – How Not to Generate Leads

This week instead of teaching by example I am going to show you the lead generation mistakes to avoid.

Normally L.A.U.N.C.H. features a big-name marketer with a funnel to die for. They have killer hooks, awesome ads, seductive opt-in pages, and A+ offer pages. I do the analysis and give you 3-7 key elements you can implement in your funnel to reduce your lead generation cost per lead and  increase your conversion rates and ultimately make more $$$$’s.

There I was searching for a killer funnel to review when an ad popped up – 

  • Learn how to rewire your brain

As a marketer I am obsessed with psychology and the brain so I was instantly hooked.

Into the funnel, I dove. 

On the surface, it looked the part. 

But the further I explored, the more cracks I discovered 

It was then I realized this is the poster child for KnowledgeCom funnel mistakes.

So let’s get stuck in.

Lead gen mistakes

Now this opt-in page is not part of the funnel, but it is available as a link from the hero section of the website’s home page.

Lead generation tip 1

If you’re launching an opt-in page please make sure it’s on your domain.

In this case, we can see they are using ConvertKit to host their opt-in page.

If you are going to invest in ads please make sure you spend the 10 minutes setting it up so your opt-in pages display on a custom domain, to make sure you increase your lead generation success rate.

It’s a small thing but these little things mount up.

ConvertKit is okay as a starting platform, but it is very limited

ConverKit has taken the creator world by storm. 

Having worked with a number of clients who use ConvertKit, its landing page templates are limited and it doesn’t have a build-from-scratch option.

Before you invest in ads, invest in a landing page builder that is fit for purpose.

Lead generation tip 2

Formatting is important

The headline shows promise – 7 things about the brain I wish I knew When I was younger.

This is a variation of the popular Twitter kook- 

  • 7 things I know at 40 about the brain I wish I knew at 20

But for the love of god, please watch the capitalisation of your headline. 

Either go with proper caps or all first letter caps. Don’t just stick one random capital letter into the headline.

 

Lead generation tip 3

Making it about your prospect

I’m into Neuroplasticity. 

I’m interested in it, but I don’t care about it. I care about what it will help me do.

I care about it because it will help me learn and adapt quickly.

But that isn’t why I really care about it. 

I care about it because it will make me a better guitar player and business person.

It will help me make more money. 

It will help me achieve my goals faster and give me more time to sit on the beach sipping a pina colada (if that’s what you are into!)

This opt-in page leaves me completely cold.

I don’t know who Gregory Caremans is, and I don’t care about his journey.

When someone looks at your ad, all that is going through their head is…..

What’s in this for me? 

How does this solve a major pain point for me right now? 

How will my life be better once I have this?

They don’t care about Gregory’s stagnations and regressions.

In the words of Jerry Maguire, “Show me the money”

  4. Limited Time Bonuses: Add bonuses that are only available for a limited time. These bonuses should be valuable enough to make prospective students act fast to enroll before they miss out on the extra benefits. 
  5. Early-Bird Discount: Reward your early customers with a special price. This is a time-sensitive offer that creates urgency and scarcity. Prospective students will want to enroll early to take advantage of the discount before it expires.

Facebook Lookalike Audiences – How to scale your business

Wish you could clone your best customers…so you can scale your online course or membership business? Well here are 3 simple steps to do just that with Facebook Lookalike Audiences. 

Scaling your ad campaigns shouldn’t feel like pulling teeth. How does Facebook lookalike audience work? With Lookalike Audiences, you tap into Facebook’s AI to find users who look most like your current customers. Here are Facebook lookalike audience best practices to help you get started today!

Step 1 for Creating lookalike audiences on Facebook

Define your “source audience.” Export your customers list. The more detail you have the better. Include purchase value amount as well as their contact details. This helps Facebook identify and prioritize them based on their spend.

Step 2 for Creating lookalike audiences on Facebook

Create your Facebook Lookalike Audiences. Upload your customer list as a custom audience. Once uploaded select your custom audience and create a lookalike audience. A lookalike is a certain percentage of a selected population that looks most like your customer list.

Step 3 for Creating lookalike audiences on Facebook

Launch your Campaign. Your Lookalike audience is based on customers but it is a cold audience. They may not know you, your solution or even the problem you solve. Bring them on a journey and give them everything they need to commit to taking action.

In general Facebook Lookalike audiences may not be as powerful as they once were. Having said that in our client accounts we are still getting high ROAS from value based Lookalike audiences. This is one of our go to audiences that we test in every campaign we launch.

But what I really love and you should check out today is a widget in the middle of the offer page:

Look for the section: Calculate How Long It Will Take To See Your Subscribers Tick Up

Depending on how many hours you can dedicate a week you can move the slider.

 

As you do the “You’ll be finished in” time changes.

 

As well as being a really cool web app. This is a very powerful psychological mechanism.

 

It puts the power and results of the program in the hands of the user.

 

The question is no longer will I get a result from this program.

 

The result is guaranteed. The only variable is the amount of time I put into it.

 

It also tells me that I can take the program in my own time. 

 

This is especially important as we approach Christmas.

I also love how Amy has worded her payment plan:

  • Buy Now + Pay Monthly
  • Buy Now + Get An Extra Bonus

This is likely to save her lots of time and energy dealing with refund requests or payment plan stoppage requests and will increase her sales page conversion rate.

I say retargeting because running FB ads to a cold audience for a $497 product is a tough ask.

ChatGPT Prompts – All the latest sca from OpenAI

A break from the prompts for this week. How could we serve up yet another banging ChatGPT prompt when the future of ChatGPT hangs in the balance?

It has been a roller coaster week for Sam Altman, the former and current CEO of OpenAI.

On Friday, 17 November, OpenAI’s board of directors fired Sam, saying he wasn’t candid in his communications with the board.

I don’t think this would have come as a surprise to Sam. 

The funny thing is he seemed to be in control of the situation from the start.

Yes, the board “heaved,” or more specifically, certain members of the board heaved.

But the moves pulled by Sam subsequently have been nothing short of genius.

We have to remember however, Sam is a boy genius. 

At the age of just 29, Sam held the most coveted position in Silicon Valley as President of Y Combinator.

He left Y Combinator in 2019 to cofound OpenAI, a generation-defining company.

Let’s just say there are no flies on Sam!

On Friday, the board announced Sam was fired.

On Sunday, Sam announced he had joined Microsoft.

On Monday, Microsoft publicly offered jobs to all OpenAI employees.

Remember, Microsoft has invested more than $13 Billion in OpenAI.

Sam’s departure, sparked mutiny among the OpenAI team.

On Tuesday, 770 OpenAI employees signed a petition calling for the board’s resignation.

On Wednesday, Sam returns as the CEO with a new board of directors.

Much of the conflict between the old board and Sam was due to the “Non-Profit” nature of OpenAI and the cap on earnings for investors. (Of which many of the board members were!)

Sam is in favor of keeping OpenAI as a non-profit.

With so much upside potential, it strikes me that the old board was not as enthusiastic. Despite them all being multi-deca-millionaires and above.

Just goes to show you that no matter how much money you have, greed can kick in.

What a wild ride!
