The BIG marketing idea covered in this video is the POWER of Desire! Desire is ultimately the make or break for your business... For your sales funnels... For your Facebook ads... Does the market DESIRE what you offer? Now, you need to really understand the POWER of that question above. The question is not... "Can you make the market desire your product through your ad?" But... DO THEY ALREADY DESIRE IT? Sorry for yelling. But this is a HUGE distinction. And I first learned this from Eugene Schwartz's book Breakthrough Advertising. In fact, that is exactly how he starts the book. I'll paste his exact words here for you... "Let’s get to the heart of the matter. The power, the force, the overwhelming urge to own that makes advertising work, comes from the market itself, and not from the copy. Copy cannot create desire for a product. It can only take the hopes, dreams, fears and desires that already exists in the hearts of millions of people, and focus those already existing desires onto a particular product. This is the copy writer’s task: not to create this mass desire – but to channel and direct it. Actually, it would be impossible for any one advertiser to spend enough money to actually create this mass desire. He can only exploit it. And he dies when he tried to run against it." BOOM! I recommend at least re-reading that and consider writing it out by hand with pen and paper. It's that important. You see, the key to success is really to figure out what your audience want's to buy... And sell it to them! You'll never be able to create mass desire, but you can channel it! So, working with this force will make EVERYTHING in your business easier and more profitable. Because you'll help more people get what they want. Simple? Sure.... Easy? Not quite... But you'll get better and better as long as you keep your focus on channeling the desires of your market!
