A landing page should also tell visitors *why* they should trust you!!!

- testimonials
- case studies
- social proof
- your bio

RT @bookoisseur: Don’t forget, ladies: you’re working for free for the rest of the year.

The pay gap is real.

RT @EmmanuelNataf: Work less. @RicardoFayet

RT @anejmehadzic: @mijustin Plus: "Ok, now do this." :)

Every landing page should communicate:

"Hey! You're in the right place. I can help you with your problem. I can make your life better."

Yes, lots of folks listen to podcasts on crowded subways.

But self-driving cars are more akin to being in an Uber, or being on a plane.

@thedesignnomad I wrote a bit about this last year: https://justinjackson.ca/focus-on-your-own-shit/

Currently, for drivers, podcasts compete with radio and music.

With self-driving cars they’ll compete with Netflix, FB, YouTube. #jtbd

Self driving cars will kill the podcast.

The best way to get to your destination is to keep your eyes on the road!

Business owners: when is the last time you spent over $1,000?

What was the product / service you purchased?

@mattalexand what about http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0129924/

@mattalexand How do you feel about Fern Gully?

For the next 28 days, I'm trying a new price for @marketingdevs https://justinjackson.withcoach.com/marketing-for-developers?coupon=FALL-2017-PROMO
If you've been waiting to get it, now's a good time!

@gerasim_sergey just replied!

It's hard to critique something from the inside.

You have to get outside of it. See it for what it really is.

@virajkhatavkar 👌

Here's a secret: the only people I respond to are folks who generally understand my work and/or have built a relationship with me.

Marketers, PLEASE. There's nothing worse than a cold email where you're clearly being lazy and know nil about me or my business.

I have availability to speak at one more conference in 2018.

You can book me here: https://justinjackson.ca/speaking/

@egarbugli @getdraftsend Nice! cc @hnshah

@chaseclemons Work expense or personal?

I'm curious about folks who recently bought an online course:

What course did you buy?
How much did you pay?

Yup.

“Add a PayPal option” is a great way to boost sales for certain products.

@mnlfrgr More on this here:

@mnlfrgr But, if you're looking to make sales, you're going to need to connect those long-term benefits with short-term rewards.

@mnlfrgr Yup. People don't always know what's "best" for them.

@mnlfrgr You're right: folks often can't articulate what they want.

Instead: pay attention to what they spend their money, time, and attention on.

@mnlfrgr I like @elonmusk's approach:

Ethically, people *need* efficient, environmental transportation.

But... they *buy* bad-ass sport cars.

People won't *tell* you what they want.

But, you can see it in how they spend their money, time, and attention.

"People shouldn't use Squarespace. They should hire a designer." 👈 prescriptive

"You need protein, carbohydrates, lipids, and micronutrients." 👈 prescriptive

Solution: Soylent

Give people what they want. Not what you *think* they need.

@tdavidson BTW – check out my friend @spencerfry's app, @withcoach, as an alternative to Gumroad:

@daniel_a_a Ask @tylertringas about that 😉

@Omranic Nothing I can do. :(

Maybe @ApplePodcasts can help?

@pjrvs If you liked Oculus, you've got to try the VIVE.

@marvmol 😅

RT @SilvestriChris: Meet people where they’re at. Great points @mijustin https://megamaker.co/articles/software-saas-product-marketing/

One option is to look at platforms:

“Tons of businesses already spend money with @Shopify; what could I build on top of that platform?”

One of the best ways to find new business opportunities is to ask:

“Where are people already spending their money?”

Don’t equate hype in the tech culture with market demand.
