TIME-STAMPED SHOW NOTES:

  • [00:27] Today’s Topic: 7 Unorthodox Marketing Hacks You Ought to Leverage
  • [00:35] #1: When driving people to your website, less than 5% will convert. For the 95% that don’t convert, re-market them with an opposite pitch (logical vs. emotional).
  • [01:22] #2: Every month, when Drift launches a new feature, they treat it as a product launch, which helps to keep them top-of-mind. Product Hunt is a great tool for this.

  • [02:59] #4: Build a repurposing framework. Think about all the content you can take even further (turning a blog post into a video, social media post, webinar, etc.).
  • [03:36] #5: To increase your traffic, start doing things people wouldn’t normally do.
  • [04:01] The best way to get people from your blog to your landing page/product page is to place banner ads within your blog.
