10 Tiny Marketing Tips

by Ben Settle on November 13, 2008

I’ve been on Twitter for several months now.

So far, I have 243 “updates” — and I try to attach as much value to as many of them as I can.

Below are 10 tweets that have generated the most replies and comments from my Twitter followers.

They each contain a valuable tip, resource or idea I’ve used to put more mool-ah in my pocket.

Here they are (in no particular order):

I have to admit, this is FAST becoming one of my favorite marketing e-newsletters: www.thejamesrwhelanagency.com

Looking at a site Ken McCarthy – www.KenMcCarthy.com – told me about yesterday: www.jott.com – he calls it a “writers best friend”

If Joe the Plumber simply copied Al the Plumber he wouldn’t either need Barry’s or McLame’s tax cuts… http://tinyurl.com/4uqrff

A gift for ALL fans of Frank Bettger (author of “How I Raised Myself From Failure To Success In Selling”) — www.bensettle.com/Swipe-File/swipe-bettger-article.pdf

Editing interview I did w/ a speaker-great tip for marketers: People instantly believe & trust public speakers-it’s “the podium effect”

American’s are pawning stuff at record paces http://tinyurl.com/44mtun — HUGE opportunity to buy stuff cheap and resell at fat profits

“North By Northwest” is on. Perfect copywriter flick — the “hero” is an advertising man, and the action pace is a great sales letter “model”

Reading an ad out loud multiple times to catch any snags or “bumps” in the copy before sending to client. Tedious but necessary…

Planning some hard-core publicity campaigns for next year — works like a charm in bad economies.

Reading Gerry Spence’s “how to argue” book — tip for writers p.124: “hands are linked to creativity — when problem solving, write, don’t meditate”

Anyway, hope you got some good value from the above tips.

UPDATE:

This one (I just wrote today) seems to be popular, too:

Every time I read a Bob Bly sales letter I’m in awe at how brilliantly simple his style is — awesome stuff and well worth studying in detail
