1) We see 4,000-10,000 ads daily. Turn that consumption into creation with a swipe file.The best way to learn how to sell? Study how YOU got sold.Create a "got got" file - save anything that makes you take action (click, share, buy).
2) Use My Mind to easily save & organize inspiration:• Chrome extension for quick saves• Tag system for easy retrieval• Serendipity feature to surface random inspoBeats bookmarking tweets you'll never see again!
3) Look for pattern interrupts & scroll-stoppers.Example: Not Fried chicken ice cream Lessons:• Combine unexpected elements• Use high contrast visuals• Mix hot & cold conceptsApply this thinking to your digital products!
4) Anatomy of a killer funnel:• Top: Free value (content, lead magnets)• Middle: Nurture (email sequences, surveys)• Bottom: Convert (calls, buy buttons)Key: Top should be ALL about THEM. Only talk about yourself at the bottom.
5) IRL to URL: Don't forget offline lead gen!Tiago Forte's "Building a Second Brain" book:• Bonus chapter accessed via URL in book• Segments readers for targeted offersThink: How can you bridge physical & digital worlds?
6) Innovation isn't just about product. Consider:• Marketing innovation• Pricing model innovationExample: Sublime app's "pay what you want" modelCould this work for your biz?
7) Micro SaaS idea: AI Agent Funnel Scraper Automatically collect & analyze:• Email sequences• Sales funnels• Marketing tacticsBuild a searchable database of winning strategies to remix!
8) Remember: Everyone's seeing "cool stuff" daily. You just need to train yourself to notice & capture it.
