Are you getting quality traffic from your affiliates?

The most important rule when you want to acquire new traffic is to match your capabilities/strengths with the affiliate's traffic. Meaning if you know how to treat customers from Australia go acquire clients from Australia. If you have only support in English don't buy traffic that doesn't understand English.

Don't mislead your customers on the very beginning (actually I would say never mislead them, but most important things is always start on the right foot).

I've seen companies promoting games that customers couldn't play. So why are you promoting these games? What are you trying to achieve? only good click to signup rate? What about where the money really counts, good conversion rate!

Most of your budget every month goes to acquiring new traffic so why not buy what you know you can CONVERT? The key to preventing over spending on this traffic is to be quick determining if the clients signing up with you are quality or not.

This is why I developed the Priority Potential RFM.  This algorithm takes your own data and tells you on which customers you need to focus, which customers you need more of.

For example if you know that 80% of your German customers close their accounts on the first few days after purchasing for the first time, will it be wise to acquire traffic from Germany?

If your Australian customers lead by conversion rate and CLV will it be smart to invest more money acquiring more customers from Australia?

What I'm trying to say is: BE SMART WHEN YOU ACQUIRE NEW TRAFFIC do research, analyze your data, know your strong/weakness points and buy traffic according to that. NOT ACCORDING TO OUTSIDE COMPANIES THAT DON'T UNDERSTAND YOUR BUSINESS!

Don't forget you are acquiring traffic to grow your business not because its nice to have.

As we say RSG:
1. Ready (can you deal with customers from that market) - Analysis
2. Set (Test all the flows and communication methods you are going to treat these customers) - Testing
3. Go (Acquire customers from that Market) - Acquisition

Steve Jobs said it best: "If you really look closely, most overnight successes took a long time"

The innovators and the early adopters, can you spot them?

Before I start this post. I would like to thank TED talks for helping me enrich my world of marketing and more. One of the best talks I ever heard was made by  Simon Sinek  and was about how great leaders inspire action. In this post I would like to emphasis the change in my approach towards contacting customers and in which way to do it. Simon presented the following diagram: We need to talk to our customers from the inside to the outside. Conveying why we do things, how we do it and at last the what we do. As Simon said, people follow the why you do it and not the what you do.  Then he spoke about the innovators and the late adapters using the following diagram: Where he brakes down your customers into groups, where the innovators pass your story along with the early adopters.  The 80/20 rule also can be adjusted according to this diagram: 1. The Innovators - 2.5% - your top VIPs 2. Early Adopters - 13.5% - 2nd level VIPs 3....

Content Writer Template

When it comes to writing content you need to explain to your writers what you want from them. During these years I've developed a template that helped me convey my message to my writers in the best way. You can download the template here . Let's go over the sections in this template. 1. Intro section The general information about the promotion. Who you are targeting, when do you need it and so on 2. Promotion flow In this section I like to show my writers the big picture. It's important in my opinion to show them what is going on in all aspects of the promotion. When are things going out, why, where and more. The more specific you are the better content you will receive from them. 3. Promotion explanation This is where you specify the what. What is going on in the promotion. How does it work, the structure of it. Who can claim it and what happens when he claims it.  4. Terms and conditions Specify the terms and condition for the promotion. It...

Customer Life Cycle

Simple and easy way to understand your customer's road map (also known as customer's life cycle) As you can see I separated the customer's life cycle to 4 stages.  1. when he gets to your site 2. when he signs up 3. when he makes his first purchases (retention only starts after four* purchases) 4. retention stages  * you can define different quantities and also change it to days/months of activity. I just think you need to understand that most customers will purchase only once - twice with you. So you need to treat them differently and show them the way to become loyal high value customers!
