Do what works (better)

Share

Mistakes, I’ve had a few. But then again, too few to mention. . .

Actually, that’s not true. I’ve made a lot of mistakes. Too many to mention.

But that’s why I’ve had a lot of success.

I get an idea, try it, see if it works. If it doesn’t, I change it and try again. Or abandon it and move on.

Many things don’t work. Most things, maybe. But when I find one that does, I keep doing it and expanding it and making it work better.

Trial and error. The “secret” to success.

In marketing, it’s called “testing”. And you do it with ideas, headlines, offers, and other variables. To see if anyone is interested in what you are offering, and to see which version works better, i.e., gets a bigger response.

You want to know which title or headline or image to use? You try two or more different options (with software or advertising) and see which one gets the most clicks or calls, sign-ups or sales.

One title or headline might generate ten or twenty percent more clicks than another, adding thousands of dollars in additional revenue. Sometimes, one title or headline will generate 300% more clicks than another, and you smile all the way to the bank.

Logic and experience might tell you one is better than the other. Logic and experience don’t know.

The only way to tell for certain which variable is better, and by how much, is to test.

Try lots of things. Track the numbers. When you find something that works, use it, but keep trying other things until you find something that works better.
