Email Threading Analysis: An Essential Companion in eDiscovery

In today’s digital age of information deluge, email is still considered as one of the most preferred methods of communication.

With an average office worker receiving 121 business-related emails per day or approximately 9000 to 15000 emails per year, a mammoth amount of data is generated over the year, even if a limited number of custodians (data owners) are involved.

Such an overflow of data can cause significant problems during the eDiscovery phase, where reviewers have to review a large number of documents to sort ‘relevant’ ones. Since email review is a resource-intensive process involving high costs, the risk of overlooking or skipping vital information hidden in huge volumes of data can be detrimental to the eDiscovery project.

Let’s delve into the world of email ESI and explore the best practices and techniques for handling email data. This article sheds light on email thread analysis and its advantages. In my next article in this email eDiscovery series, I will emphasize the holistic approach that modern eDiscovery practitioners consider while tackling email data in eDiscovery.

Understanding Email Threading: Weaving the Fabric of Conversations

With internet penetration getting stronger and readily accessible to everyone, according to one estimate, around 361.6 billion emails will be sent and received per day in 2024.

01/23/2024 Daily Recap

Hey all! It's been another long day, but we've got lots of new resources on how to help and things have been very busy!

=Renew As A Crew Updates=

Sources: Tumblr / Twitter / Instagram

So it sounds like some of the silence going on is related to RaaC adhering to the Global Strike with Social Media going on for Palestine this week. Please visit the sources above for more information, they also go over how to interact with each platform we're trying to woo (I didn't include that here because it's already in the Daily Renewal List)

=Cast & Crew Sightings=

As every day has been lately, the star of today was chaos dad himself, David Jenkins with that article that was mentioned last night from popverse.

Also for that matter, he's excited about being close to 80K

Dad wasn't the only one trolling max today, the Crew got deep into it to the point that caseybloys blocked quite a few of them and then they got the hashtag "#OhBloysHeMad" trending. Here are some highlights because I feel like all the tumblr folk need to know how hard twitter went today.

=== How to Help ===

As usual, please refer to the Renewal Task List for daily updates, but great news, we now have a Renewal Task List for our friends outside the US as well. Apparently there are different effort in different countries, so we split them up. Please let me know if there's anything additional / more countries you'd like to see!

Renewal Daily Task List - US

Renewal Daily Task List - Outside US

The Crew also got super creative and put up some awesome new resources for folks to use. I've added quite a few to the Renewal Daily Checklists, but if I missed any please let me know! Here's some examples:

UK Our Flag Means Death Updates

News from the UK Thank you to @lamentus1 and @libbyroseitm for the updates!

Here’s our report from the UK News from the UK As you probably know the second season of OFMD is yet to air in the UK. Today we had an email saying that an announcement about when it will be on TV and iPlayer here will happen “Incredibly soon”. We love the use of the word incredibly! In response to how helpful our contact has been with replies we sent a single email with lots of names on it thanking them. Our best predictions for when OFMD2 might air in the UK is late February or early March. Once Season 2 starts to air in the UK we think we will see a significant increase in interest in Our Flag Means Death. We are currently looking into ways to harness this energy! (Obviously we hope that we’ll be adopted before season 2 aires here, but if not…) One idea is to hold another watch party to coincide with the arrival of season 2 here. Another idea is to hold a flash mob. Possibly at the Cutty Sark in London. TBC. We’re working on ideas and would love to hear people’s thoughts! Please reach out to @lamentus1 with ideas!

= Pirate Omens Watch =

Pirate Omens Watch happened today on Twitter and will continue tomorrow through friday. For more details please reference below - I caught the second half and was a lot of fun! Lot's of parallels and great opportunities to tweet at @pricevideo about them!

== Articles ==

Max Delivered the Final Blow to the Horny, Quirky Comedy

== COOL ANALYTICS ==

So something else that I found super cool was this post on twitter by @havethisonelife

Anyway, I just love that kinda thing, and seeing that come from articles about OFMD is just super cool.

===================================

Okay I think that's everything. As usual, if I missed anything drastic please let me know! There wasn't a whole lot going on on IG today, seemed like twitter was the show horse.

===================================

Evening Message of LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE

You thought you were rid of me sending love-- but you were wrong!

Did you know you're fucking phenomenal? Like seriously. I read through all these tumblr threads, twitter, instagram, and all I fucking see is amazing people being fucking awesome to each other (and politely shitty to max which is also amazing).

People are posting in various places and saying they had a rough day, or they're sick (that was me!) and you kind buggers are reaching out and giving support and love and I'm so damn proud to be a part of this amazing crew. You are legit the best people I've ever met! (IRL or Internet).

Everyday you continue to impress me and every one of us with your creativity, kindness, ambition, and wonder. You make me laugh, I've cried a bit from some of the posts too (not a bad thing!) and in general just fucking make the world a better place. I can't wait to see all of you continue to shine, which reminds me of this quote:

"Nothing can dim the light that shines from within" - Maya Angelou

==================================

Alright, enough of the mushy stuff-- onto the Rhys and Taika eye-porn. (Is Rhys getting some head from Taika? Badummmshhhh, ok I'll leave now). Gnight!

The Unparalleled Importance of Email Marketing in the Digital Age

In an era dominated by social media, instant messaging, and evolving digital platforms, one might question the relevance of email marketing. However, contrary to popular belief, email marketing remains a cornerstone of digital communication strategies, boasting unparalleled importance and efficacy. This channel continues to be a potent tool for businesses to engage, nurture relationships, and drive conversions with their audience. Let's delve into the myriad reasons why email marketing continues to thrive and its enduring significance in today's dynamic marketing landscape.

1. Direct and Personalized Communication

Email marketing enables direct and personalized communication with your audience. Unlike social media where algorithms govern content visibility, emails directly reach the recipient's inbox. This one-on-one interaction fosters a sense of exclusivity and personal connection, allowing for tailored content delivery based on subscriber preferences, behavior, and demographics. Personalization enhances engagement and significantly boosts conversion rates, as it demonstrates a deeper understanding of the recipient's needs and interests.

2. Cost-Effectiveness and High ROI

One of the most compelling aspects of email marketing is its cost-effectiveness and impressive return on investment (ROI). Compared to traditional marketing channels, the overhead costs of creating and sending emails are relatively low. With advancements in automation and segmentation, businesses can efficiently reach a large audience with targeted, relevant content. Studies consistently show that for every dollar spent on email marketing, the ROI is remarkably high, making it an indispensable tool for businesses of all sizes.

3. Building and Nurturing Customer Relationships

Email marketing serves as a powerful medium for building and nurturing customer relationships. By consistently delivering valuable and engaging content, businesses can establish trust, credibility, and brand loyalty. Whether it's informative newsletters, exclusive offers, or personalized recommendations, well-crafted emails help in staying top-of-mind and strengthening the bond between the brand and its audience. Moreover, feedback mechanisms within emails facilitate direct communication, allowing for customer feedback, queries, and concerns to be addressed promptly.

4. Drive Conversions and Sales

Beyond relationship-building, email marketing is a potent driver of conversions and sales. Strategic email campaigns tailored to different stages of the buyer's journey can guide recipients through the sales funnel. Whether it's introducing new products/services, promoting discounts, or sending abandoned cart reminders, emails have the capacity to prompt action and lead subscribers towards making a purchase. The ability to segment lists based on user behavior further enhances the effectiveness of these campaigns, resulting in higher conversion rates.

5. Measurable and Data-Driven Insights

Another significant advantage of email marketing lies in its measurability and data-driven insights. Advanced analytics tools allow marketers to track various metrics such as open rates, click-through rates, conversion rates, and more. These insights provide valuable feedback, enabling continuous optimization of campaigns. A/B testing subject lines, content formats, and CTAs empowers marketers to refine strategies based on what resonates best with their audience, leading to continuous improvement and higher performance.

6. Adaptability and Integration with Other Channels

Email marketing seamlessly integrates with other marketing channels, enhancing overall campaign effectiveness. Whether it's social media, content marketing, or paid advertising, email serves as a connective thread that reinforces messaging across different touchpoints. Furthermore, its adaptability allows for innovation and experimentation, accommodating new trends such as interactive emails, dynamic content, and mobile optimization, ensuring relevance in an ever-evolving digital landscape.

In conclusion, despite the proliferation of various digital communication channels, email marketing remains an indispensable and powerful tool for businesses. Its ability to foster personalized interactions, nurture relationships, drive conversions, and provide actionable insights cements its significance in modern marketing strategies. Embracing the potential of email marketing is not just about sending messages but crafting engaging, relevant content that resonates with recipients, ultimately propelling business growth and success in the digital age.

fb+/meta or whatever is one severely unfunny joke. i know i am mostly a hater of social media, but i don't see how threads is going to be better for usability and reach. especially given how shit numbers are on IG (i get more noted "per capita" of followers on tumblr and twitter for untagged posts). i already made a small thread of zucc apps being shit which I'll copy paste here. i don't know how people are thinking threads is going to be better than any of the twitter alternatives when it's most likely the WORST option out there. anyway-

the reason why the other twit replacement apps aren't as insidious as threads (zucc/fb owned) should be obvious, but i'll list some things:

• infamously on zucc platforms you can get reported for saying "white people" which is why so many of us say yt now (a bit of poc social media history for u from the 2010s)

• private messages are sold/given to police no warrant: this could be anything used against you, could be protest info, where you've been, etc.

• right wing propaganda/misinfo is lucrative for facebook. this is something that heavily affects the global south btw.

• they lie about views and growth for business accounts to keep you on their platform. the case i know best is that they inflated college humor's analytics to compete w youtube. this resulted in so many businesses throwing money and labour at facebook w out much return.

also zucc sucks, he's pure evil... like u don't need me to get into *that* hopefully

addition:

omg 🙄 so shocked 🙄 that zucc is further propelling nazism on his latest app that has the exact same content moderation as all his other fucking apps lol 🙄 who would have guessed ?

Far-right figures, including Nazi supporters, anti-gay extremists, and white supremacists, are flocking to Threads (Media Matters)

Adding sources:

Point 1 - i can't find any formal articles that document the particular insidiousness of this, but I and many others who were in BIPOC only "leftbook" groups had either our accounts or groups we joined completely nerfed for using language against white people. hubs that had been for info dissemination, discussing theory, and organizing were marked as hate speech or reported by white reactionaries (even "leftist" ones)

Point 2 - Has been apparent since Michael Brown's murder by police in 2014 and the protests following, but was esp apparent in protest following George Floyd's murder and subsequent protests.

FBI trawled Facebook to arrest protesters for inciting riots, court records show (NBC News)

Point 3 Links - Facebook Admits It Was Used to Incite Violence in Myanmar (NY Times) | Whistleblower: Facebook is misleading the public on progress against hate speech, violence, misinformation (CBS) | How Facebook and Google fund global misinformation (MIT Tech Review)

Link for point 4 - Adam Conover talking about College Humor's inflated FB numbers (plus many other articles have been written about this)

more on the privacy shit - sex workers who have used fb AND ig on burner emails with fake names, had their emails and real names auto linked bcuz of how much a little bit of information goes. how fucked up is that.

How Facebook Outs Sex Workers

BTW i have been preaching this for years but if you want to learn why our internet is fucked up, learn about what happened with net neutrality cases in the US, and then later, SESTA FOSTA (primarily targetting sex workers but is the reason why everything is censored now). ppl online have been warning everyone about this for years, but you are just now experiencing the consequences. but again, nobody listens to things that target primarily sex workers.

plus from a functional standpoint, if you want to delete your threads account, your instagram is deleted as well. like it really doesn't seem worth it for people who are desperate to find the social media that will stick. i don't have anything nice to say about any of the other social medias except that some Mastodon instances do a great job at keeping nazi's out and using alt text, but the bar is extremely low and everybody else is even lower ^_^

Workflow Apps vs. Traditional Methods: What You Need to Know

In today’s fast-paced business environment, organizations are constantly seeking ways to improve efficiency and productivity. One major area of focus is the shift from traditional methods to modern workflow apps. This transition can significantly impact how tasks are managed, projects are executed, and overall organizational efficiency is achieved. Here’s a comprehensive look at the differences between workflow apps and traditional methods, and what you need to know to make an informed decision.

Understanding Traditional Methods

Traditional methods of managing workflows often involve manual processes, paper-based documentation, and decentralized communication. These methods typically include:

Paper Documents: Tasks and processes are tracked using physical documents, which can lead to lost information, delays, and inefficiencies.

Manual Tracking: Work progress is monitored through spreadsheets, whiteboards, or physical logs, requiring manual updates and prone to errors.

Email Communication: Coordination and updates are managed through email threads, which can become disorganized and difficult to track.

In-Person Meetings: Meetings are scheduled and conducted face-to-face, which can be time-consuming and less flexible.

Advantages of Traditional Methods

Despite their limitations, traditional methods have some benefits, including:

Tactile Control: Physical documents can provide a tangible sense of control and organization.

Familiarity: Many organizations have long-standing practices that are deeply integrated into their culture.

Simple Implementation: Basic tracking methods can be easy to set up without requiring specialized software.

The Rise of Workflow Apps

Workflow apps represent a modern approach to managing business processes, leveraging technology to streamline and automate tasks. These apps include platforms like Asana, Trello, and Monday.com, which offer a range of features to enhance productivity. Key characteristics of workflow apps include:

Automation: Workflow apps automate repetitive tasks, such as notifications, approvals, and data entry, reducing manual effort and errors.

Real-Time Collaboration: These apps facilitate real-time communication and collaboration through shared workspaces, instant messaging, and updates.

Centralized Documentation: All relevant documents and information are stored in a centralized, digital location, making it easily accessible and organized.

Data Analytics: Workflow apps provide data analytics and reporting features, allowing organizations to track performance metrics, identify bottlenecks, and make informed decisions.

Advantages of Workflow Apps

The shift to workflow apps offers several advantages:

Increased Efficiency: Automation reduces the need for manual updates and administrative tasks, freeing up time for more strategic work.

Enhanced Visibility: Real-time tracking and centralized documentation provide greater transparency into project status and team performance.

Improved Collaboration: Integrated communication tools and shared platforms facilitate better coordination and teamwork.

Scalability: Workflow apps can easily scale with organizational growth, accommodating increased complexity and volume of work.

Challenges and Considerations

While workflow apps offer numerous benefits, organizations should also consider potential challenges:

Implementation Costs: Adopting workflow apps may involve initial costs for software, training, and integration with existing systems.

Change Management: Transitioning from traditional methods to digital tools can require significant change management efforts, including staff training and process adjustments.

Data Security: Ensuring the security and privacy of data within digital platforms is crucial, especially for sensitive information.

Making the Transition

When deciding between workflow apps and traditional methods, consider the following factors:

Current Workflow Needs: Assess the complexity of your workflows and determine if automation and digital tools can address specific challenges.

Budget and Resources: Evaluate the costs associated with workflow apps and weigh them against the potential benefits and efficiency gains.

Employee Readiness: Prepare your team for the transition by providing adequate training and support to ensure a smooth adoption of new tools.

Conclusion

Choosing between workflow apps and traditional methods involves evaluating your organization’s specific needs, goals, and resources. Workflow apps offer modern solutions that can enhance efficiency, collaboration, and visibility, while traditional methods may still be valuable in certain contexts. By understanding the strengths and limitations of each approach, you can make an informed decision that aligns with your organizational objectives and drives better outcomes.

Managed Security Services Procurement Intelligence: Unlocking Opportunities

The global managed security services category is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 15.4% from 2023 to 2030. It is witnessing growth owing to the factors such as rising adoption of services offered in the category due to increase in security breaches, stricter government laws pertaining to data security, rise in complex cyberattacks, growing requirement for economical & reliable platform to monitor security incidents, and rising need for security intelligence & early threat detection tools. However, restricted capacity to offer services for incident response and thread hunting, and insufficient technical know-how and skilled manpower may hinder the growth of global category. In addition, these services can be very helpful to the enterprises that need specialized security deployments because of their very large or complicated architecture or because they have particular implementation requirements involving several systems.

Technologies that are driving the global category include cloud-based security, AI (artificial intelligence) & ML (machine learning), MDR (managed detection & response), zero trust security, DevSecOps, IoT (internet of things), blockchain, and email authentication. Cloud-based security, such as CASBs (cloud access security brokers) CSPM (cloud security posture management), and CWPP (cloud workload protection platforms), are now being offered by managed security services providers (MSSPs). These services give enterprises visibility into their security posture and assist them in safeguarding their cloud environments. In addition, the delivery of security services is being revolutionized by AI and ML. By utilizing these technologies, MSSPs may automate security procedures, identify and address threats more quickly, and lower the possibility of human mistake. MSSPs are offering predictive analytics and threat intelligence through AI and ML, which can assist enterprises in staying ahead of new threats.

The category for managed security services is fragmented and highly competitive with the presence of several global players offering plethora of services. The category has become more active as clients continue to grow internationally and strategic players pick up new competencies. In addition, enhancing and broadening the scope of offerings has emerged as a prime investment opportunity for private enterprises, uniting several small and medium-sized firms to augment the magnitude and cooperate with these divisions. It is projected that the industry will witness a large number of joint ventures, mergers & acquisitions, and service introductions as businesses continue to make strategic investments in order to satisfy client demands. Buyers in the industry possess high negotiating capability as the presence of large pool of service providers offers them opportunity to select the best option based on number of services and price.

Order your copy of the Managed Security Services Procurement Intelligence Report, 2023 - 2030, published by Grand View Research, to get more details regarding day one, quick wins, portfolio analysis, key negotiation strategies of key suppliers, and low-cost/best-cost sourcing analysis

Software & hardware costs (expenses associated with purchasing and managing security tools, such as antivirus, firewalls, intrusion detection systems, etc.), labor costs, and services cost (expenses associated with consulting and support) are the major cost components for managed security services category. Key factors that influence the price of the services offered in the category includes how big a business or network is, the intricacy of a business enterprise’s network architecture, and the quantity and gravity of the risks that the business could encounter. Furthermore, the pricing model that players in the industry follow include per-data usage pricing (costing over USD 9 - USD 499 per user / device / month), per-device pricing (costing over USD 74 - USD 249 per user / device / month), per-user pricing (costing over USD 74 - USD 249 per user / device / month), cloud-based pricing (costing over USD 124 - USD 299 per user / device / month), and tiered pricing (costing over USD 29 - USD 149 per user / device / month).

North America region dominates the global managed security services category, holding over 34.4% of global market share. Growth of the category in the region is being propelled by the presence of numerous managed security services providers (MSSPs), and growing demand from various tech titans for outsourcing services. It is supplemented by managed service options that better address individual demands and the rising need for data protection, network security, and cloud computing. In addition, the Asia-Pacific region is anticipated to witness the fastest growth rate over the projected timeframedue to the dearth of internal security specialists and the short supply of security equipment to shield data from sophisticated cyberattacks. Furthermore, assessing the specialization and relevant experience possessed by an MSSP, ensuring that an MSSP leverages latest technologies & tools that offer effective security, looking for customer feedback / testimonials of MSSP, and comparing prices offered for different services by MSSPs are some of the best sourcing practices considered in this category.

Top-Notch Digital Marketing Trends 2024

1. Machine learning and artificial intelligence

Smarter Chatbots and Customer Support

Modern AI-powered chatbots have better conversation quality and are almost human-like, creating better customer experiences. For instance, Sephora has a chatbot for Facebook Messenger that assists customers in discovering products according to their interests and past purchases. Moreover, these chatbots offer customers 24/7 technical support and respond to queries within a matter of seconds. In this way, your client will never be refused any customer support he needs, boosting your Google My Business Profile to the top!

Predictive Analytics

Customer behaviour is forecasted by the AI tools to promote products among consumers properly. For instance, Netflix has developed a predictive model that recommends shows and movies to viewers based on their previous choices. When you can understand what exactly your client needs, none can stop you from becoming successful! To keep up with the latest digital marketing strategies. use AI chatbots to respond to simple customer service questions, and use predictive modelling to optimize your email marketing campaigns.  

2. Video Marketing Dominance

Short-form video

Short-form video hosting platforms like Instagram reels or YouTube shorts are experiencing phenomenal interaction. Brands are using these to reach out to the youth. These short videos act as snackable content that helps to maintain user attention and is easily shareable. To build up an interesting connection with the youth of 2024, start posting engaging reels or shorts that convey your business crux. Be a bit sarcastic sometimes, and play with memes!

Live Streaming

Facebook and YouTube are examples of live video broadcasts that provide immediate interaction with viewers. Live streams give a sneak peek into the process, making the brand message even more credible. Use live streams for product launches, Q&A sessions, and behind-the-scenes content to build a deeper connection with your audience.  

3. Focus On New Social Platforms

Open an Account on Topmate

Topmate is gradually gaining popularity as one of the favourites of influencers and marketers. It is primarily intended to assist you in establishing yourself in cyberspace and gaining access to new consumers. Using this account, you can post content, interact with your fans, and earn money from your reposts due to collaborations and sponsorships. 

Connect with Threads for Real-Time Conversation

Threads, an application within Instagram that focuses on private, timely conversations, is being adopted by more marketers. It enables you to communicate directly and more intimately with your audience. Use Threads to post more about what is happening behind the scenes, ask a simple poll, or provide some extra information. 

Start Daily Vlogging

In our opinion, vlogging daily is an effective strategy for building an emotional connection with the viewers. By giving glimpses of your daily flow, you establish credibility and reliability. To upload your vlogs, use other platforms such as YouTube or TikTok. The consistency of having content to share daily keeps your target market returning and raises awareness. 

Implement Social Commerce

To reach the audience directly, consumers should capitalize on the shopping options currently offered by popular social media platforms. Tap into Instagram Shopping, Facebook Shops, and Pinterest Shopping to provide a smooth buying process. Make your products stand out and include shopping options in the posts and stories you share.  

4. Voice Search Optimization

Voice Assistants

Voice search is also growing owing to the increased use of smart speakers such as the Amazon Echo and Google Home. To be more effective, brands must focus on voice searches so that voice assistants can easily find their content. To prepare for voice search, marketers must adapt their content to broad and long-length questions, which are more common with voice assistants. For instance, using smart speakers, clients can use voice commands to order from Domino’s Pizza. This has proven to be one of the primary 2024 digital marketing trends to watch.  

5. The Metaverse and Virtual Reality

Immersive Experiences

Business entities are developing virtual shops and spaces in virtual worlds such as Decentraland and Roblox. You should also start focusing on these platforms and try to enhance the customer experience.  Virtual reality (VR) gives a level of engagement that ‘normal’ marketing simply cannot. This kind of advertising is extremely interactive. It enables tangible interactive ads that capture the users in a very special way. It’s easy for brands to tell better stories through VR and have a great interaction with the audiences.  

6. Personalized Marketing

Using data to tailor marketing messages to the target consumers is more critical than in the past. Personalized emails, product recommendations, and even website experiences can significantly increase engagement. If you cold-mail someone with the blatant business details, hardly anyone would take an interest.  To compete in the future of digital marketing, use customer data to personalize email campaigns, product recommendations, and website content.   

7. Influencer Marketing Evolution

Micro and Nano Influencers

To gain a high engagement for your brand, you need to try out influencer marketing. Micro-influencers are always seen to have a higher level of engagement than mega-influencers. Well-known brands such as Daniel Wellington have effectively employed micro-influencers as product endorsers of their watches on social media platforms.  

Long-Term Partnerships

Strategic partnerships with key opinion leaders can result in longer partnerships and, thus, stronger and more frequent brand communication. For instance, Revolve, the fashion brand, has long collaborated with a group of key opinion leaders, making the brand aesthetic more consistent. To leverage the latest Social Media Marketing Trends, engage with and create a list of micro and nano influencers in your niche and establish a good working relationship with them.   

8. Sustainability and Social Responsibility

Green Marketing

Businesses should start adopting eco-friendly practices. General awareness of green brands is gradually growing among consumers. Promoting sustainability initiatives can effectively get customers’ attention and increase their patronage. It has been noticed that customers prefer brands that follow these ethical guidelines. 

Integrate sustainability and social responsibility into your brand messaging. Highlight your company’s efforts to reduce its environmental impact as essential Content marketing strategies and contribute to social causes in your marketing campaigns.  

9. Omnichannel Marketing

Seamless Integration

Maintaining a holistic and integrated customer experience is critical. Starbucks’ rewards program ensures that customers get a consistent experience no matter the platform used, whether this is either online, mobile app, or in-store. Make sure the messages are congruent regardless of whether customers are shopping online, using mobile devices, or physically going to the store. Nike also has a mobile application for customers that is integrated with the app with Nike’s online shop and physical stores.

Copywriting That Sells - How to Sell with Words (Examples)

Have you ever read sales page, an email from a company, a product description on Amazon or seen clicked on a Facebook ad whilst browsing through your Facebook newsfeed? They are fall under one umbrella: copywriting. It took me YEARS to realize this: the best copy is written focusing on customer... and customer research!

Great Copywriting Comes from Customer Research

It's not uncommon for marketers and copywriters to want the fast tactics: let's run Facebook Ads! Entirely without considering WHY people purchase and click on ads in the first place. This is why customer research is of utmost importance: - Who is your ideal client? - What do they look like? - Their age range? - Job status? - Job titles? - Spending ability? - Their ability and willingness to pay? - What are their hopes, fears and dreams? - The exact language they use when describing their problems in your market? When I started my first business, I used SEO and outranked all my competitors within six months on search engine optimization… and yet... ZERO sales. I had one of the biggest business lessons then: you got to meet your market where they are at, and NOT where you’re at. You see, what I didn't understand: - No one wakes up and say: 'I want to be a better person'. Everybody wakes up and say: ‘I want to get more girls’. - No one wakes up and say: 'I want to be financially literate'. Everybody says: 'I want to be a millionaire’. Understand the language of your audience and then putting that down into copy is going to make the difference between mediocre and great copy.

How to Write Great Copy: The Language of Your Audience

So how can you figure out the language of your audience? - Real life conversations This is simple, simply pay attention to what your customers are using. What are their fears when it comes to your service or product? One of my ex-clients blurted out: am I too old to learn SEO? Is it too technical? That’s extremely important data. Some of these business owners are worried that SEO is too technical, and someone their age isn't able to learn it. That’s one of my target market’s fear. - Forums and Reddit Conversations You can Google ‘X keyword + Forum’ and look at the threads on a forum. You can pay attention to the actual phrases and terms people use. Their hopes, dreams and fears. You can do your research on: - Amazon Reviews of Similar Products - Reddit or other online posting sites - Facebook groups I literally wrote my sales copy for an investment company by studying a sub reddit on investments in Singapore. The source of a million dollar lead generation page Thank you Reddit! Note: it’s helpful to record these data points on a Google docs document and collate them through your research process. - Surveys You can learn about your customers by surveying them. You can blast out an email to your current subscribers by asking them what they want to hear from you. I get on calls with clients 1:1 and I pay attention to what they say to me and the exact language they use. This can also help with your company’s market positioning. You’ll want their words, not your interpretation of them. The key here is to interact and start conversations with your target audience. You should want to always be listening to customers responses! Stop thinking ‘internet marketing’ and start thinking: your customers and audience. Yes, behind all the analytics, there are real human readers. Stop thinking ‘email marketing’ and start thinking of building a real relationship with your readers.

Copywriting - The Basics

When I was an SEO consultant, I used to go around mouthing off technical SEO terms to business owners. I also read nerdy SEO blogs filled with SEO jargon. I soon figured that if I wrote and spoke like an SEO technician: “Citation sources, conversion rates optimization, backlinks acquisition, HTML coding, bounce rate, time on page and etc.” These business owners look at me and got no I am talking about. Look: - Business owners know nothing technical SEO - They aren’t saying to themselves: ‘how to identify low-effort/high yield pages for quick SEO fixes’ - They are saying: ‘I want to rank high on Google’ Yes, I can write long nerdy technical guides. However, am I selling to SEO nerds, or am I selling to small business owners? It’s the latter. If I wrote and spoke in manner that’s understandable by my target audience, then I’ll have a higher chance of closing the sale.

The Frameworks of Successful Copy

The majority of copywriting advice sucks. They focus on blinking spam-my button, flashing lights, false scarcity plays and all of that. The worst of all, they promise you the moon, the earth and seven virgins. Sure brah Totally persuasive... NOT Well, you bet you’re going to asking for your money back with those kinds of promises. You don’t have to be scammy or flashy to write great copy. Here are some frameworks I keep in mind when writing just about anything from a sales page or a blog post. - Focus on the reader I used to only write my opinion on my projects. It’s called the I, I, I syndrome.  Here’s the truth: no one cares about your opinion. People that click on your site want a problem to be solved. Unless you’re a hot girl, you can’t constantly be writing about yourself. Poor writers only care about themselves. Good writers write about what they’re readers care about. Remember: good writers focus on their audience, and not on themselves. - Bar Stool Test One of the elements of a successful copy passing the bar stool test. This means: not writing in corporate jargon. Nothing is more boring and dry than corporate speak. How many SEO or digital marketing blogs out there are dry and boring? Yes, 98% of them. If you flip through the usual SEO marketing blog, usually what do you get? You get technical terms like Google panda, penguins, canonical tags and analytics, blah blah blah. There’s so many technical guides out there already. How can you make technical details relatable? When I launched a dating advice for men years ago, I used big philosophical terms hoping that my readers will find me articulate, intellectual and knowledgeable. However, it backfired. Instead, I got feedback from one of the site owners I reached out to say that he felt like he was reading a college thesis. I took a step back, studied some copywriting advice and came across the barstool test. Imagine if you were sitting in a bar and chatting with a friend. He asks you: What business are doing? If you said: I help small medium enterprises in Singapore optimize their H1 title tag on their content management platform so they’ll be able to attain higher visibility on search engines. He’ll look at you crazy. However, if you said: I help small medium sized companies in Singapore generate leads on Google. That’s it. Plain simply English. Understandable within a sentence. Good copy works the same way. It’s not about writing super dense material. Good copy is actually similar to how day to day people talk. One other trick you can use is to read everything out loud. If it’s something you wouldn’t say, then it’s probably not good copy. When I consulted in search engine optimization, I had the tendency to use technical jargon and complicated terms. I thought that'll make me sound smart and sophisticated. However, I quickly realized that the average SME owner in Singapore (my target audience) isn’t going to understand what the hell I was saying. Ask yourself, who are you writing for? You should be writing for your clients, hence you should write content to fit your audience needs. - Understand Benefits Versus Features When someone purchases a Mercedes Benz, do you really think they are buying the features of the car such as horsepower? Or are they buying the benefits of owning a luxurious car: status and class? Features: Advanced dating modules in our dating course Benefits: Advanced dating modules to help you approach, meet and date beautiful women without the fear of being rejected No one cares if you have 9 advanced dating modules in your dating courses.... at the end of the day, what’s in it for them? Features: Financial literacy class to educate you on the 4 factor models in investing Benefits: How to build a portfolio of steady income returns without any prior knowledge to investing Nobody gives a crap if you got a hundred factors in investing, but every cares about building a steady cashflow from the markets. - Be Specific Boring: I can help you rank your website on Google Specific: Imagine the day you wake up and you see leads automatically in your inbox. You no longer have to worry about pushing flyers out or hoping a relative or a friend of yours ‘support’ your business by purchasing your product half-heartedly. Boring: Having a website isn’t enough Specific: Okay, let’s say you have a website, or a business card even. However, what are these things doing for you? Is anyone viewing your website? Is anyone contact you about your services through your website? What about those fancy business cards? How many of them have you given away without hearing back from the people you gave them away too? These simple tweaks will make all your writing much more persuasive. - Use Case Studies If you’ve gotten results for your clients, you can showcase case studies on your site. You can write about the process of how you got them results, the obstacles you guys face and how you overcome them. - Use Your Own Voice The majority of writers on the internet are not writers, they are marketers. They aren't writing with a unique voice. If you aren't going to write with a voice behind it, then what makes you different from every other writer that is taking content, rehashing it and paraphrasing it? - Personal Stories From time to time, I make fun of bad advice and overweight internet marketing gurus. I’m also quite sarcastic. These are my personal ticks and I enjoy it to an extent. However these stories make my content unique and stand out. - Tutorials and Helpful Content Tutorials can range from how to get backlinks to how to write copy to branded techniques and solutions that solves a common pain point. You can include in your copy real life case studies, line by line scripts and/ or techniques that you use in your own niche or industry. Note: I don’t think every post has to be a 5000 worded essay filled with practicality, it's hard to read. There are various ways to do it ranging from the methodical to the inspirational. The serious to the light hearted. The logical to the emotional. - Positioning Positioning is determined by 1) how your company is different/ better/ unique as compared to your competitors. and 2) what the market thinks of you. I used to go around screaming and ranting about how important SEO to business owners without understanding that SEO is just one part of the huge puzzle of marketing. I attended SEO courses, paid multiple thousands and thought that business owners would trust me if I was SEO certified. However, apparently not, nobody gave a crap. I didn't understand the concept of positioning. I was going up against hundreds of others of "SEO experts' pitching $500 a month SEO deals, guarantee-ing Google page one rankings within weeks or days. I was also getting constant objections: someone else was willing to do it cheaper. That was when I realised that I had to market myself and position myself differently from all competition that I face. However, I intuitively knew that it isn’t going to be enough. I had to build my own brand, my own case studies and get my results using my own SEO strategies. You should always be asking yourself: how are you going to stand out and differentiate yourself from the competition? Then, are you able to elaborate your position in the market on copy?

Lee Luan Yew as a Master Copywriter

You can study great copy by studying great persuaders, politicians and business leaders of your time. Since I am Singaporean. There’s no need to look further than Singapore’s first Prime Minister Mr Lee Kuan Yew. Like him or hate him, he’s a MASTER of persuasion: Let's breakdown a simply speech by Lee Kuan Yew: Youths Don't Know What it's Like to be Poor

Copywriting Skillset 1: Specific and Vivid Descriptions

Great copy relies on specific and vivid descriptions. If you noticed, Mr Lee Kuan Yew is always using specific, real life and vivid descriptions to get his message across. Instead of relying on some esoteric statistical data, he uses real life, day to day examples. Some of his quotes from this speech: ‘Your grandfather probably worked harder than your father.’ ‘Had we not had people with that ruggedness, that robust attitude, we’ll make it, do or die, we won’t have today’s Singapore.’ ‘I’m not sure if I went back with 1959, and started with today’s generation, bred and brought up in comfort where there’s no discomfort with a HDB flat with an air conditioner, and there’s a covered walkway.’

Copywriting Skillset 2: Passing the Bar Stool Test

Secondly, your copy has to pass the bar stool test. It has to be as simple as talking to a friend over a beer at a bar. Forget about writing like a professor. Write like a layman. That’s great copy. Here are some quotes from his speech: ‘Very few people had homes of their own. In Chinatown, you have cubicles 8 or 10 people in the room sharing 4 bunks. Because they do shift work. Save money.’ ‘So Lim Kim Shang, once went to a HDB cubicle and asked a man who was covering himself with a blanket. So he asked him why? He said because his friend was using his trousers.’ ‘If you lived in those conditions and you get a flat with one room, communal bath room and communal kitchen, running hot and cold water. From that you go to a three and fourth room flats to executive condominiums, just like how you go from a bottom of the ship to the deck of a ship.’ ‘As I flew over to New Zealand, I watched the green fields, the sheep, and the cows, and the small little houses dotted around. 3 million people there. I thought to myself, if come back in a hundred years, I’ll see the same scene.’ You can see that Mr Lee Kuan Yew uses a combination of simple and ‘big words’, with numbers, to get his message across.

Copy Skillset 3: Write to Your Reader

Secondly, some sites tend to get too technical, and they make their content seem like a University lecture Lastly, you’ll need to write to your reader. Great copy uses the ‘you’, a lot more than the word ‘I’. You’ll see that in Mr Lee Kuan Yew’s speech, he uses ‘you’ and ‘we’ a lot more than ‘I’. ‘Many of the parents who are living in the HDB flats. They understood like the people in Chinatown. They understood what it’s like to be poor. Today’s children do not understand what it’s like the be poor.’ ‘And no other country does that. But we have ministers out of 3 million people who can talk  to Chinese ministers, American secretary of state, secretary of treasury or any European nation at the same level intellectually, and we’re not inferior to them.’ ‘Now we need these 2 things, then you got today’s Singapore. Then we got this cultural hall. Then you can sit down and talk about what will happen in 50 years. Otherwise, you’ll be scratching a living. So please don’t forget that’.

The Hemingway Method

Your copy is going to determine the quality of clients you're going to get into your business. Unknown to many, the hardest and most valuable parts about copywriting are keeping it simple.  Taking statistics, research and plonking it onto a blog post is easy. Other than a broken recorder machine, you're going to sound like a history textbook. However, refining the ideas into simple words that are able to persuade and move others. That's difficult. This is why simple copy is MUCH HARDER to write than complicated copy. This form of copywriting is also known as the Hemingway method. Let's take a look at this two examples: Copy 1: 'Get Rich in Singapore with 3 Never Seen Before Secrets in 3 Days' Copy 2: 'Get Rich in Singapore with this 3 CEO Level Strategies' One of the big ideas I got from a book about luxury marketing is the language use when it comes to copywriting: On luxury brands, you'll never get copy such as: '30 Hacks in X Dates/ Numbers of Secret/Hack/Formula' However, for some reason, these sort of copy is celebrated across internet marketing blogs. Why is that so? The first copy may 'convert' better on the front end: your email list/ squeeze page blah blah. The second copy will be why people will transact with you: trust and brand. The copy you use is going to determine the kind of clients you'll attract, the price point you command and the type of brand you want to build. You want high quality, qualified clients. Start writing. Stop marketing.

Outsourcing Copywriting and Hiring Writers

In my experience, SEO agencies, consultants and business owners alike detest writing and much prefer to outsource it. I once outsourced my SEO content and hired someone cheap to write. The quality turned out to be piss poor and I hated it. I then decided to write everything on this blog from scratch. If you are outsourcing your copy to writers that are willing to do it for as low as four dollars per X number of words, you're going to get low quality copy. If you don’t stand out in your copy and bore your market. You get no attention, and no one purchases from you. Great copy is worth it, pay up for it. Fun fact: every single paid customer I interviewed in my life told me that they liked something controversial about my articles or the way I wrote. Read the full article
