12. 6 most effective
CONTENT PIECES

13. Blog Post (Article)
● Use for PARADIGM SHIFT (beginning of
the funnel).
● You need a good HOOK in your
headline and intro.
● Tell a great STORY (take the time).
● Be USEFUL but leave OPEN LOOP.
● CTA should be OPTIN rather than
BUY!
● Look for inspiration with Kissmetrics.
com, Mint.com, DigitalMarketer.

14. Infographic
● Use for PARADIGM SHIFT (beginning
of the funnel).
● Make it so USEFUL that people will
feel like printing it and sticking it to
their fridge door for future reference.
● Kissmetrics.com, Crazyegg.com and
Mint.com are great case studies to
follow.
● Post on your blog so you can use
retargeting on Facebook and Google

15. Image
● Use to build TRUST & LIKEABILITY with
people who already are in your funnel (via
Facebook or Instagram).

SHIFT (beginning of the funnel) for
physical trendy products.
● No direct ways of retargeting to those
who like or view the image (apart of
Lettly.com for Instagram!)

16. Video
● Use short engaging videos directly on
social media PATTERN INTERRUPT +
PARADIGM SHIFT.
● Retarget these viewers with longer content
videos - RESULTS IN ADVANCE.

OBJECTIONS.
● Drive viewers to your sales video: use
Wistia, Vimeo or YouTube and embed in
webpage.

17. Video production
& technology
● Become a director & producer - hire
the videographer & editor.
● Pay special attention to SOUND,
LIGHTING and BACKGROUND.

engagement!

learn how to do it with online
education.
● Use PowToon.com for animation
Video
Genesis

Cheatsheet, Report,
White Paper)
● Use for the RESULTS IN ADVANCE
stage
● Make it USEFUL - it should help
someone achieve a concrete
milestone.
● Make it LOOK GOOD, combine text
and images.
● Use Indesign.com, Pages.com.

19. Webinar
● Webinars for RESULTS IN ADVANCE and later
stages of your funnel (never beginning of the
funnel!)
● Best merge of CONTENT & SALES.
● Use PRE - WEBINAR sequence to boost showup
rate (email + social media).
● Give 70% content and 30 % sales.
● Structure of your content matters.
● Even if people don’t buy they should think WOW!
● Follow-up after the Webinar (replay + sales
sequence)
