Jan Roos from CaseFuel joins us today to discuss Meta advertising. Meta ads can be effective for PI lawyers if used strategically, focusing on educational content and earlier stages of client awareness. Success metrics should focus on qualified leads/transfers and cost per case, not vanity metrics like impressions. Ad fatigue is a key challenge; campaigns require frequent creative refreshes and strategic targeting. Meta ads can be more cost-effective than Google Ads, with clicks often $2-10.

Transcript: Welcome to the personal injury marketing minute where we quickly cover the hot topics in the legal marketing world I'm your host Lindsey busfield when discussing marketing options with our clients We constantly get asked if doing social media marketing is with it and we typically say no While social media marketing is great for some businesses I know I have personally spent a ton of money at Halara because of their facebook ads We just haven't seen much success for personal injury lawyers who try their hand at meta But the lack of success isn't necessary necessarily because of the platform. It might be that lawyers have the wrong expectations of what success should look like when using meta or their marketing specialist isn't leveraging the right opportunities. Fortunately, Jan Roos: joins us today to discuss how personal injury lawyers can best use meta to grow their practices. Jan Roos: Thank you so much for joining us today. Oh, thank you for the awesome intro Lindsey. Lindsey: Well, I'm so happy to have you here, but why don't you tell everybody else who's listening who you are and what you do. Jan Roos: Cool. So my name is Jan. I got into the legal marketing space back in 2015. So at the time, I had a lot of friends who did SEO, and I was just like, honestly, I feel a little bit intimidated by the length of the contracts you have to sign. So I got into a paper click, but I was also some step I was doing in a previous business. I exited business a short earlier that year, and I basically paid traffic was a huge aspect of what we did. So gone to Google and then shortly, kind of afterwards ended up focusing on where personal injury attorneys were actually the first clients that we ever worked with. So we kind of went a little broader on paper click within the legal niche there. you know, by the time it was getting around 2020, the Google AdWords climate had changed a bunch. I still think it's a great platform to go on, but it's just, you know, they've kind of had that creep like everything else in PI, so getting harder in order to find stuff that wasn't already exploited by somebody else. So we made a pivot to social around the end of 2019. And it was after reading one of my favorite books on marketing, which is Breakthrough Advertising by Eugene Schwartz. Have you ever ever read that one, Lindsey? Lindsey: I haven't read that one. Jan Roos: Yeah, it's super old. I think it was published in the late 60s or early 70s, but he basically talked about these stages of market awareness. And this is kind of disseminated through a lot of the marketing lore over the decades that have come since. But basically, I was like, well, we have all this competition at this last mile of the customer decision journey, which is the solution stages he describes it, which encompasses pretty much everything, referrals, search, directories, anything that most people, that's most of the legal marketing play with, but what if there was something that was outside of that? And that's kind of where we ended up looking into around 2019.

It's pretty common to hear copywriters recommend that you study old sales pages and even sales emails, but what about old magazine ads? The kind that are printed on paper in actual periodicals? Today, where so much advertising happens online or in your social media feed, Ad writing is a bit of a lost art form. But that doesn't mean we can't learn from it. In the 435th episode of The Copywriter Club Podcast, I interviewed Lewis Folkard who breaks down old ads for his newsletter readers. And he shared what copywriters have to learn from his approach. Click the play button below, or scroll down for a full transcript.   Stuff to check out: Lewis' Website The Olive Ad Breakdown The Silk Cut ad The Copywriter Club Facebook Group The Copywriter Underground   Full Transcript: Rob Marsh:  Copywriters seem to revere old books by Eugene Schwartz and Vic Schwab. But what about old ads? This is The Copywriter Club Podcast. If you've been a copywriter for more than a few weeks, you've probably heard other more experienced copywriters mention books like Breakthrough Advertising by Eugene Schwartz, How to Write an Advertisement by Victor Schwab or Tested Advertising Methods by John Caples. They make up a large part of the official cannon of copywriting. In fact, David Ogilvy once said no one should be allowed to write a single word of copy until they had finished reading Caple's book seven times. Of course there are new books that ought to be added… books by Joe Sugarman, Ann Handley and Matthew Dix.  In addition to books, there are a lot of copywriters who like to study old sales pages. They create swipe files full of them. I do this. My swipe file has more than 1,000 differnent sales pages I've collected over the last decade. Some copywriters even suggest you hand write sales pages as part of your learning. I don't go that far, but I think you can learn a lot by studying the persuasion techniques that copywriters have used in their work. But what about ads? One page with an image, headline, and a few lines of copy?  Are they worth studying? And what can we learn from them? My guest on this episode is Lewis Folkard. Lewis has made a bit of a name for himself by picking old print ads from advertising award books, analyzing them, and writing about why they are effective or not. Lewis' breakdowns are more than interesting reading, they're mini-lessons on copywriting, attention-getting and persuasion. He told me why he does it and how it's impacted his business in this interview. Stick around to hear what he had to say. As you might expect, this episode is brought to you by The Copywriter Underground. I've mentioned that I've been rebuilding the content vault and adding a ton of additional workshops to it. Workshops taught be expert copywriters like Parris Lampropoulos, Joanna Weibe, Stefan Georgi, Jack Forde, Chanti Zak, Laura Belgray and dozens of others. And it's not just copywriters, we've got marketing experts teaching how to build funnels, how to market using tools like Linkedin and Pinterest, how to put yourself in the right mindset to succeed and so much more. And that's just the workshops. There are dozens of templates, a community of like-minded writers holding each other accountable, and monthly coaching with me. It's time you joined us inside. Learn more at thecopywriterclub.com/tcu And now, my interview with Lewis Folkard… Lewis, welcome to the podcast. I would love to hear your story and how you became a copywriter. Lewis Folkard: Okay, well, I mean, I guess a lot of copywriters say very similar things in the sense that I feel like I've always had an interest in people and communications. I mean, some of the earlier nonfiction books that I read were kind of about human psychology and communications. I think there was a How to Win Friends and Influence People and another one by Brian Tracy, I believe. But I was young and just always enjoyed learning about how the human mind works and...

By recognizing these stages, marketers can tailor their messaging to meet the needs and concerns of their audience more effectively. Here's a summary of each stage:Unaware: Description: At this stage, the customer is not aware of the product, the problem it solves, or even the problem itself.Marketing Strategy: The focus is on raising awareness about the problem or need. Educational content and broad, problem-oriented messaging are key.Problem Aware: Description: The customer is aware that they have a problem but is not aware of any solutions.Marketing Strategy: Messaging should highlight the problem and introduce the product as a potential solution. Emphasis on the pain points and the consequences of not addressing the problem can be effective.Solution Aware: Description: The customer knows about the solutions available but may not be aware of your specific product.Marketing Strategy: Differentiation becomes important here. Marketers should focus on why their product is the best choice among the available solutions. This includes showcasing unique features, benefits, or advantages.Product Aware: Description: The customer knows about your product but may not be sure if it's right for them.Marketing Strategy: The focus is on convincing the customer that your product is the best fit for their needs. This can involve addressing specific concerns, providing testimonials, and offering trials or guarantees.Most Aware: Description: The customer knows about your product and is ready to make a purchase or is very close to it.Marketing Strategy: The goal here is to make the final push for conversion. This could include limited-time offers, discounts, or simply a clear and easy call-to-action to make the purchase process straightforward.Understanding these stages helps in crafting targeted marketing messages that address the specific mindset and needs of potential customers at each point in their journey.FOLLOW us on IG & we're happy to answer any and all questions!@marissaliesen@carlabiesinger

Cos'è un “gancio”? E soprattutto, a cosa serve?Questa parola, nel gergo del copywriting, indica un dispositivo retorico contenuto di solito in un titolo. Il suo obiettivo primario è invogliare le persone a continuare a leggere il tuo pitch di vendita.Quindi, Il titolo è la parte più importante del tuo copy. Pensaci un secondo. Puoi avere l'esatta soluzione che cerca il mercato… e un messaggio costruito ad arte per venderla…… ma se non fai capire SUBITO al destinatario - appena “atterra” sulla tua pagina - che puoi aiutarlo… lo perdi. Forse per sempre. Allora, la domanda che dovresti porti è: Come creare ganci capaci di arpionare la sua attenzione in modo implacabile?A tal proposito, oggi puoi ascoltare un estratto di uno dei corsi più apprezzati del Copy Persuasivo® Club: quello su ‘Breakthrough Advertising' di Eugene Schwartz.In particolare, del modulo in cui il "Baffo” Andrea Lisi analizza il capitolo 4 del libro.

When you sit down to write your copy, do you shake in fear because of the terror of the blank page? Or, maybe you're not terrified, but you're frustrated because you don't know where to start? Today we talk about a game-changing method developed by one of our industry's great Old Masters, Eugene Schwartz. He delivered a powerful secret in an obscure talk he gave in the early 1990s to Rodale Press. You won't find this secret in either of his landmark books, Breakthrough Advertising or the Brilliance Breakthrough. The secret is explained in these words from his talk: “You do not write copy. You assemble it. You ware working with a series of building blocks and putting the building blocks together, putting them in certain structures. You're building a little city of desire for your person to come and live in. You are assembling claims that are simply images that people will pay for.” The key idea here is assembling, not writing. And that's a very important insight. Which we'll really get into today.

You're writing copy to target your ideal clients. But they may not be ready to hear you. They may not know they have a problem; they may not be ready to look for solutions. You may have heard of the 5 levels of awareness identified by iconic copywriter Eugene Schwartz. You write copy differently - and share different stories - depending on the client's level of awareness. In this episode, we do two things. First, you'll discover the 5 levels of customer awareness and recognize them in the client's backstory. A prospective client who's not aware she has a problem will bring one type of backstory. Her story changes when she's identified the problem and chooses from two or three possible solutions. As you listen to clients' backstories you discover their level of awareness. You can fine-tune your targeting. Additionally, our clients have different levels of marketing awareness - something that's not covered in the original 5 levels. Some clients are hearing pitches from half a dozen different competitors. Some are completely new to your industry and to marketing pitches from you and your competitors. Their experience with marketing changes the way they respond to your message...and may lead to downright skepticism. I've experienced this myself when I hear a tired old pitch from someone I've thought about hiring. Resources The notion of "levels" originally appeared in Eugene Schwartz's book, Breakthrough Advertising. It's now out of print, hard to find, and expensive.

On this episode of More Perfect Marketing, host David Baer is joined by branding and positioning expert Orly Zeewy to discuss the importance of understanding your target audience's needs and desires in order to create effective messaging. Orly Zeewy is an author, speaker, and your facilitator of lightbulb moments. Her superpower? She makes fuzzy clear. She turns generic messaging into clear marketing messages that help startups and early-stage companies cut through the noise so they can attract their ideal customers and scale fast. In addition to her consulting work, Orly is a popular speaker and guest on business podcasts. She has been interviewed on more than a dozen business podcasts including This Week with Sabir, Angel Invest Boston with Sal Daher and The ConsciousPreneur. She has lectured at Wharton and taught in The Close School of Entrepreneurship at Drexel University, and the University of Pennsylvania. Orly has been featured in Medium and her articles have been published in national publications such as The Marketing Journal, Smart Hustle and Lioness Magazine. Her book: Ready, Launch, Brand: The Lean Marketing Guide for Startups was published by Routledge in May 2021 and was the #1 new business book release on Amazon in April 2021. Included in this episode: - Common Mistakes with Brand Messaging: Startups often send out too much information without being clear on their message. Generic messaging is often a result of not understanding who the target audience is. - Importance of Homepage: A homepage is a crucial aspect of a brand's identity and must communicate why a user should be there. - Focusing on the Customer's Needs: Founders need to focus on the problem they need to solve for customers, not just their own needs. Specific messaging tailored to the audience will attract more of them. - Utilizing Surveys: Surveys are incredibly useful if the right questions are asked to the right people. There may be variations in questions asked to extract useful language and perspective. - Case Study: Summer Day Camp Redesign: The guest speaker shares insights from an online survey her team conducted for a summer day camp. They found that the camp was the place where small kids do big things. The messaging was centered around experiences and growth opportunities in a safe environment rather than the lake as they had previously thought. - Importance of Understanding the Market: "Build it and they will buy" is a flawed idea because it doesn't consider if people actually want what you're offering. Understanding the market, including where it is currently and what people are doing now, is crucial. - AppSumo Case Study: AppSumo is a marketplace where technology tools launch to find users. Many of these tools lack clarity on who they're serving, focusing only on what they do. - Differentiation for Startups: Startups have a blank slate but still need to figure out their unique selling points. Existing companies, especially in brick and mortar, have a harder time because of the abundance of options and competition from digital spaces. - Insights on Sales: To succeed in selling a product or service, it's crucial to connect with potential customers on their level. Passion is a key trait of founders, but they need to consider that others may not be as far along in the process. - Eugene Schwartz's "Breakthrough Advertising": The host reads a passage from "Breakthrough Advertising" by Eugene Schwartz, published in the 1960s, which emphasizes the importance of channeling and directing existing desires in copywriting.

Intensifying Your Copy—Old Masters Series

Today we returned to the Old Masters Series, but with a twist. We used some secrets from one Old Master to look at the famous work of another. This all came about last week, when I was going over the chapter on Intensification in Breakthrough Advertising with a client. Breakthrough Advertising, of course, is Gene Schwartz's masterwork on copywriting. Part 2 of the book is seven chapters on “the basic techniques of breakthrough advertising.” And the first of those seven sets of techniques is what Gene Schwartz calls “Intensification.” Basically, how to get your hands on your prospect's feeling of desire, and push it through the roof. I was struggling with how to put this on a podcast. And then I had an idea: Why not take John Caples's famous ad, “They Laughed When I Sat Down At The Piano… ” and see how Caples used the intensification techniques. You might not be surprised that, even though the ad was written nearly 40 years before the book was, Caples knew what he was doing and used a bunch of the techniques. So, as we get started, you should know there are actually 10 Intensification steps in this chapter. Plus three other tricks. Again, this is all in one of 14 chapters of the book. We only covered five of the 10 Intensification steps today. First, because we did not have time for all 10. Second, I wanted to leave out five so you'll be encouraged to get your own copy of Breakthrough Advertising from Brian Kurtz. We'll give you a link in the show notes. Really, it's one of the best copywriting books ever written. As you have already gotten a glimpse of there is so much in each chapter that you can spend years, and make a fortune, learning what's in the whole book. Now, as to Caples. Gene Schwartz actually mentions this ad as a great example of one of the intensification steps, and we'll cover that step. But it turns out Caples included more of than one Instensification step. It's interesting to look at this ad, one of the most famous in history, because of the unusual way Caples uses the steps. He skips around from the normal order you would put them in. You'll see what I mean in the full podcast. Here are the five Intensification steps we covered: 1. Present the product. 2. Put the claims in action. 3. Bring in the reader. 4. Bring in an audience. 5. Make a damaging admission. And a link to get Breakthrough Advertising: https://breakthroughadvertisingbook.com/ Download.

Top 5 Copy Skills To Work On In 2023

Now that it's late January, you should be well into your New Years Resolutions or goals for the year, or maybe decided, “Ah… I'll wait till next year.” What I'd like to do is niche down to just copywriting. Do you have copywriting goals? I've got five skills or skill sets that are worth improving this year, and I want to give you a peek under the hood. Every one of these can put more power in your copy and more profit in your pocket. They're not flashy but they are high-octane. And I've found the most successful people never stop improving, so it's worth at least considering these and see if they feel like a fit. So there are the five skills. You probably have most or all of them already. The idea is that by getting better at any one of them, you copy improves in multiples. Skill #1: Research We talked about three kinds of research: fact research, emotional research, and situational research. Most people know what fact research is, and even getting better at this could really help anyone's copywriting. But emotional research and situational research take copy to a whole new level. Skill #2: Rewriting Building off this quote from Ernest Hemingway: Don't get discouraged because there's a lot of mechanical work to writing. There is, and you can't get out of it. I rewrote the first part of A Farewell to Arms at least fifty times. You've got to work it over. The first draft of anything is shit. When you first start to write you get all the kick and the reader gets none, but after you learn to work it's your object to convey everything to the reader so that he remembers it not as a story he had read but something that happened to himself. We talked about what real rewriting is like… why it's so important… and the best way to do it. Skill #3: Metaphors We were so fortunate to have the Queen of Metaphors, Anne Miller, on the show a few weeks ago. We talked about her book, The Tall Lady With The Iceberg. Tucked away in the back of the book are a series of very practical, valuable routines on how you can get better and better at using metaphors in your copy—and everywhere else! We cover those in this part of the podcast. Skill #4: Go Beyond Swiping There's a level of copywriting that Gene Schartz talks about in “Breakthrough Advertising” that goes way beyond swiping, or simply following formulas to come up with a headline or body copy. Gene says, “The idea for an ad or a headline demands its own shape. It cannot be fitted into someone else's solution. The problem defies a formula. And the third, analytical approach -- with no answers, only guideposts and questions -- offers the only way.” We talked about these three levels of copy creativity here. Skill #5: Get Better At Identifying and Writing To Your Prospect's Level of Market Awareness This another one of the many gems from Gene Schwartz' book Breakthrough Advertising. Here are the five stages in a nutshell: Stage 1- Ready to buy your product Stage 2- Has heard about your product, but doesn't want it (yet) Stage 3- Wants a product that does what yours does -- but doesn't want yours (yet) Stage 4 - Has a need, but doesn't see connection between his need and your product Stage 5 - Complete unawareness We talked about getting more familiar with these five stages, and how to use them. One more thing: If more than one of these appeals to you and you've already decided to improve the skill or skills, don't dive into all of them all at once. Better to do one at a time. Maybe one a week, or one every two weeks, or one a month. But, if you can, do something every day to improve one of these skills, and stick with one for at least a week, you will find you have some impressive breakthroughs in 2023.

YSV helps businesses get heard on Social Media and, most importantly, build engagement and generate more leads and more sales. Worst investment everKim started his business when he was 25 years old and had a good start. In the beginning, Kim was good at marketing, and then he got very good at sales. He made many sales, and his team would deliver on his sales. As he continued bringing in more sales, he felt he needed to hire more staff to handle all the sales. Being young, inexperienced, and running a successful business, Kim brought on people without paying attention to capacity or doing any quality assurance. At one point, he had many different people and had to expand and get a new office. As Kim continued to hire more people, one of his first-ever marketing mentors sat him down and asked him if he was looking at his team's capacity. He made him think about the price he was charging, his wage bill, and the profit margin left at the end of the day. From this talk, Kim realized that he was paying so many people who, while at first useful, many of them weren't doing much once the quiet months hit and there wasn't a high volume of work. He realized he had to let go of a couple of people immediately. Lessons learnedHave a clear understanding of your business numbers. Dive deep into the capacity that you have before hiring. Be careful about the average employee. They can drain your business slowly. Andrew's takeawaysAvoid a business model that makes it easy to grow costs and hard to increase revenues. Be careful when hiring people because some may not add value to your business, yet they're generating costs that need to be covered by your revenue. Actionable adviceGo to the people who have done what you want to do, ask them for advice, and listen to them.

Outsourcing and hiring new talent is a natural outgrowth of scaling a business. But how can a small or mid-sized company do this process effectively while retaining a full-funnel? In today's episode of Aligned, Sean is joined by the founder of Sales Schema, Dan Englander, to hear his thoughts on the issue.  There is a proper time to hire: With the caveat that his domain space is marketing and advertising, the first order of operations is getting client work off your plate. From there, establish a process for teeing up prospecting opportunities. When accommodating people on your team with defined roles, once a process is in place for getting prospects, invest money in a closer. The skillset required to get a skeptical person to talk to you is numerous: creativity, strategy, systems and operations thinking (and a good amount of hustle and follow-up.)  Dan's philosophy is that it takes more than one person to make the process work. Identifying your value: To lower risks in hiring, figure out where your value lies. Oftentimes an agency has never had to figure that out because they rely solely on the strength of referral. So how do you identify value? Through positioning and experience. Companies frequently outsource something for the partnership to end up failing. Why? Because that company is doing the same repeated action done by different companies. While that still works if you're selling something new, it won't work forever. Use the trust and relationships you've built to grow. Realize when you hire a salesperson, you are now a part-time sales trainer. You can't just give collateral and expect them to succeed. Dunbar's Number is the psychological research that discusses someone's circle of influence informs our outreach. There's a difference between asking for an introduction and manipulating people into giving referrals. Mapping connections and doing it at scale is what leads to success. Clients typically do this anyway, but it's just done somewhat haphazardly. What if you can figure out the people you already know in specific accounts? All sales and marketing is about change. Social liberation elevates and allows someone unaware of a need for change to consider it. Breakthrough Advertising from the 60s is a hard-to-find book, but it addresses the stages of marketing sophistication.  For more great content from Dan, visit salesschema.com, check out his podcast (The Digital Agency Growth Podcast), or email him at dale@salesscema.com.
