The Marketing Genius of Rihanna At Super Bowl

This is what I’m hearing about Rihanna not getting paid and sneaking a product placement during her super bowl performance.

A lot of marketers on twitter, IG & Tiktok are coining it as Rihanna will benefit a lot from this marketing move. Marketers with real experience know that this won’t benefit Rihanna as much as Tiktok marketers are estimating.

But I believe this is a great time to explain how Buyer psychology works.

Not a single potential buyer of yours is just going on google or social media and buying from the first brand they see.

In my open-report earlier this year, where I found out that:

95% of potential buyers aren’t actively looking to purchase. They need to be informed about their needs.

That’s why your brand needs to create enough awareness around your business to make a potential customer consider buying from you.

Brand awareness can be generated through content, Influencers, events and many other channels.

And that’s the first reason why Rihanna’s sales might go up. As the people were already aware about her products from different channels, they were in their journey to buy her products.

Another awareness generating event made the potential buyer reach the decision of making a purchase.

Like I mentioned that, they needed to be reminded of their need. How gorgeous was she looking during the event?

That look boosted the desire of her average buyer to buy more products from fenty beauty to look that good.

Power of Influencers

Another research finds that 32% of consumers trust celebrity backed brands more. But now celebrities roles are also being replaced by Influencers.

And now Adobe’s Creator report shows only 14% of creators are influencers. So, you need to choose influencers instead of creators & celebrities

Now Rihanna’s music gives a brand messaging of strong women and that’s another factor influencing the decisions of buyers.

When working with creators or Influencers, you need to study their content first to understand the messaging because number of followers won’t help you get more sales.

Just like 100M viewers won’t buy Rihanna’s Product, buyers will be the ones connecting with brand messaging.

Less focus on numbers, more on messaging.

Product Photography

Fenty did well at nailing the product imagery & visual content before the super bowl to make the feels of their product more relatable.

Why this worked is also backed by data, As 89% of consumers agree that product imagery is important.

I don’t need to tell more about this because image is art that speaks thousand words. And if you can nail your Ad creatives to make users connect. The conversions will eventually come.

But you also have to nail the messaging & awareness as I mentioned.

The End move

I don’t know this was intentional but she did many interviews where she kinda gave the impression that musical guests will be joining.

But in the end, she decided to stand alone & announced pregnancy too. Making sure the camera captures her using fenty beauty & looking good.

She didn’t do that alone, there is marketing team behind her that understands marketing. Fenty Beauty’s marketing team is doing well at email marketing too.

You shouldn’t just talk about her super bowl genius, try to study her brand well enough. It doesn’t end at sneaking your product in super bowl performance.

This was my analysis of how marketers & businesses copy what Rihanna did at super bowl but in the correct way. Study Fenty Beauty’s marketing or may be spy on it to learn more.

Best Marketing Courses, & Certifications, According to Reddit for New Marketers

I scrapped this list of recommendations from different reddit post. This took a while to curate because there were a lot of people defending some courses as the best & few saying they don’t hold any value.

1. Hubspot Inbound Certification

Recommended by u/analyze on reddit, This course is an introduction to Inbound Marketing and will help you understand how to build buyer personas. You will learn how to craft your business goals with the right KPIs. Additionally, this course will make starting with content marketing easier!"

2. OMCA Digital Marketing Certification

recommended by u/intjonsteroids, This course is more in-depth and highly recommended as the certification you will receive holds more value than Hubspot Inbound Certificates. It covers more aspects of marketing and provides more than just certification and knowledge. Additionally, there are other benefits you can gain from passing the exams with this course. This is why this course is considered to be very good

3. Marketing Plan Formula

recommended by u/frontdoormedia, This course is for amateur marketers who already have some knowledge of marketing and want to advance to higher roles. The course focuses on helping participants improve their marketing skills and qualify for CMO positions.

4. mMBA by Mark ritson

There were a lot of redditors recommending his course. His Blogs are good too. This course, by Mark Ritson, is designed for marketers who want to learn more about marketing in a shorter period of time. It is called the "Mini MBA in Marketing." The course will assist participants in learning the principles of marketing and how to apply them in 2023. Mark Ritson is a highly renowned marketer and has been conducting this course for a long time. In my opinion, it is worth taking.

5. Google Analytics Academy

recommended by u/RawketTK to another user in a thread. To gain a thorough understanding of how Google Analytics works and its most important features, Google's own analytics course is the best option. However, the course has not been updated to teach about Google Analytics 4 and, with Universal Analytics being phased out this year, it is recommended to take the course once updates have been made to include this information.

6. Semrush Academy

recommended by u/Jade_Jaded in a thread about marketing courses in 2023. Semrush is one of the leading SEO marketing tools and they also offer their own courses to help new SEOs improve their search engine marketing skills. Their courses cover basic knowledge of On-page SEO, basics, and other elements to get participants started in this marketing channel.

7. Meta’s Blueprint Course

Recommended by u/LoveFightWrite for Instagram. This course, by Meta, is an introduction to paid marketing on Instagram and Facebook. It is a must-take course for those looking to begin a career in social media marketing. You will learn about managing paid campaigns on Facebook and running ads in different formats. They will also come to understand that Instagram paid marketing is more than simply clicking the "Promote" button

8. Fundamentals of digital marketing

recommended by u/cryptoderelict. This course is part of Google's Digital Garage and helps individuals learn the basics of digital marketing. It is designed for people who are relatively new to marketing and are not familiar with how social media and brands work to market products. Participants will learn more about the basics of marketing. The course holds value because of the Google certificate that is earned, which will make a better impression on recruiters when applying for internships.

9. Story Brand

recommended by u/RedWritingHood76 not basically for course but regarding a resource + they have a good course too. Storybrand is a marketing publication where one can learn more about marketing storytelling and branding, even without taking their courses. However, they do have marketing storytelling courses that will teach more about understanding consumer behavior, the art of storytelling, and market research. This goes beyond what is offered in other courses mentioned.

10. Udemy Digital Marketing Course

recommended by u/ONNEAPP for beginners. Udemy's Digital Marketing course is often praised and criticized by new marketers because it can be too basic or advanced, depending on one's current marketing knowledge. The course covers all aspects of marketing. However, Udemy features a lot of other marketing courses, so if this one is deemed too basic, you can find others on the website. And there are courses with certification & without them.

11. PPC University By Wordstream

recommended by u/alphatrixdigital. This course by Wordstream takes you through the basics of PPC marketing and how to manage your ad placements, spending, and other aspects of PPC marketing. It's one of the first courses to take if you're just starting with PPC marketing. After completing this course, you can also take courses in Google Digital Garage about Google Ads specifically. However, I believe this course is ideal for beginners to start with PPC marketing.

12. Hubspots Email Marketing Course

Recommended by most email marketers on reddit to begin with because email marketing is too niched and there aren’t good ones to recommend. Besides this course, email marketing courses are not highly recommended by marketers. This is because email marketing varies greatly from industry to industry and the basics of an email strategy change depending on different buyer personas and niches. That's why only Hubspot's email course is recommended to take in order to learn the basics. After that, the most valuable lessons come from working in email marketing.

13. Tiktok Ads Academy

It’s not that famous but extremely useful to get into paid Tiktok, recommend by u/lazymentors. The TikTok Ads Academy was released last year and is not widely known, but the course is highly effective in helping with TikTok paid marketing. You will learn about the differences between TikTok ad formats and how they compare to each other. TikTok paid marketing is currently cheaper than other platforms, which is why there is a high demand for TikTok marketers. For these reasons, I recommend taking this course.

State of Marketing Courses in 2023

First, Most Redditors believe that courses don’t make huge impact on hiring and aren’t loopholes to get into marketing. But are always recommended because they are short and you can improve your skills from time to time.

Second, Most Redditors have recommended the same courses over and over:

There are few others but these were mentioned more than 30 times in the comments I scanned through!

Third, Courses by Udemy, coursera and few other publications are valuable but aren’t respected among marketers. There were various comments mentioning that the efforts in few of the courses are low.

Last, For Small Businesses any of these courses can open their eyes to a new way of marketing this business. It’s always better to take these type of courses than getting scammed by online gurus.

Bonus, To educate businesses & marketers about new marketing solutions. All these platforms: Tiktok, Instagram & Pinterest launch new educational resources to learn but they aren’t heavily marketed but I can make your job is easy.

Writing Effective Pinterest Board Descriptions in 2023

Your Pinterest Board needs to be well-optimized as it can impact your search traffic and help you rank higher on Google.

I've helped clients improve their ranking on Google search using simple hacks and tactics that align with Google's algorithm.

Why Your Pinterest Board Needs a Description

Your Pinterest board is a collection of various types of pins, each with different post descriptions and visual identities.

However, having 100 different captions and descriptions on each pin can confuse the algorithm, making it hard to define the niche of your Pinterest Board and rank it.

This is why writing a board description is crucial for ranking higher on Google Search.

Adding a Pinterest Board Description

Adding a board description is easy. First, open your Pinterest profile and find the board you want to write a description for.

Click on the three dots (•••) and select "edit board." From there, you can add a description and a board cover, which is also important for attracting more people from Google search.

Writing an Optimized Board Description

Your board description should give an overview of your board in the least amount of words possible and entice the average Google user to click on your board.

A common mistake is to spam the board with keywords, which can ruin the user experience and prevent the board from ranking on Google.

To avoid this, use the following framework:

1. What - Share what your Pinterest board is about

2. How - Share how the board will help someone with a specific topic.

3. Why - Tell why they need to click on your board.

4. You can also mention a year (2023), number (100+ pins), style (Minimal Candles), or a provocative adjective to attract more people to your board and give them a stronger reason to click.

An example of a good board description using this framework is below, from Louise Myers, who has more than 1.3 million monthly visitors.

An example of a bad board description filled with only keywords and no context about the actual board is image below:

Don't try to attract more people by spamming keywords. Instead, focus on writing a board description that will help your potential followers and customers understand the purpose of the board and be more likely to engage with it in the long term.

A tool to help you write better Descriptions

To write better board descriptions, consider using a tool like Copy AI. It saves time and can generate better descriptions for your pins and boards. Simply enter small pieces of text about your pins and board to generate an attractive board description.

Copy AI is also useful for your other social media accounts to help you write your IG captions and tweets faster than others.

Pinterest Description Tactics

These tactics may not be highly effective, but they can help you improve conversions for your business.

First, try to mention your brand name in either the board title or board description to ensure that Pinterest users associate your business with the board.

Second, in some formats, Pinterest doesn't show your description within the app to users. Therefore, make sure you have a clear, keyword-rich title and a relevant board image. While the image is not necessary, it can be helpful.

Third, never use hashtags in your board description. It's not useful as boards on Pinterest and Google are not previewed by hashtag search.

7 Growth Secrets To Scale Your YouTube Channel

Hey I’m Jaskaran, I have worked with some of the best YouTube Creators and YouTube Analytics companies like VidIQ and agencies to help businesses scale their business.

I will share my whole process from getting on average less than 5k Views on their YouTube videos to landing more than 10k-20k views per day on my clients channels. These YouTube Tips and growth tactics apply to all niches to scale their community and build a YouTube brand.

1. How Algorithm Chooses Content to Show new Audiences

Youtube Algorithm’s most important Job is to pick up a piece of content that appeals to a broad audience and it can keep a large amount of audience hooked for a particular amount of time.

The algorithm is getting 1000s of new content pieces every minute. A lot of people share a false propaganda that algorithm doesn’t push content because they want more people to use Ads. But the reality is you need to understand size of your niche and your content scope in the beginning to a Make sure the Algorithm pushes it to a wider audience from start.

That’s why keep your content Centered toward bigger audience and latest YouTube trends to have better chance of YouTube picking your latest content and recommending it.

2. Segmenting Your Content For 3 Type of Viewers

You need to target different set of keywords with your content to reach three different type of viewerships. You have optimize your videos for YouTube SEO and it’s not just putting keywords in your video Descriptions.

First approach should be targeting questions and keywords searched by most beginners and new audiences to your niche. In practice, Graham Stephan is talking about A strategy on how to grow your stock portfolio during recession. He will segment that part of the video under the big idea of “what to do during recession” which will lead him to a bigger audience asking a simpler question with a strong appeal.

Targeting these Broad Keywords with descriptions and Titles is one of the key thing.

2. Build up another set of keywords to target audience that’s already curious about Your niche. You should align those keywords or segments during the middle of the video because you will start by serving a beginner with your content in starting and if its a curious amateur. You retain him in the middle of your video with questions in talks or trends occurring in the industry.

I always segment the middle part for an amateur audience searching trending queries because they are active in the niche. This helps in attracting audience from YouTube & Google Search as these are latest queries with a growth in search trend. That’s why target amateur keywords in your niche.

3. Targeting Keywords with low-search for better conversions. Small search queries about a topic leads to easier conversions from viewer to subscribers but the content appeal is too small. But building a set of keywords with low search volume is necessary and helps you to build a Product friendly audience. You should target these keywords with your conversations in the end of the video where you give them the most value to stay for more content or buy into your product.

Now, at the end don’t just push these keywords into descriptions or titles. Try to integrate them into your video content as AI is developing and also YouTube extract keywords from Automated Captions.

3. Learn How To Steal Audiences by talking on Better topics

One of the best YouTubers you see currently converting their audiences into their product consumers are the one’s that stole existing audiences of other YouTubers.

• Mr.Beast Saying Logan Paul’s name for more than 1000 times.

• A Video Editor releasing a Video on Sidemen to steal their Best Audience.

• Gaming Creators hoping on new Games to steal the attention of users of that game.

You need to learn how to steal Someone else’s audience. First, find where your content vision aligns with a competitor or a potential big YouTube channel in your niche. Try to add the element of that big YouTube channel into your videos if both of your channels have an aligned content.

When the audiences will see a common point, you will start attracting the other creators audience. It doesn’t have to be creator. A big name in your niche and a piece of content aligned toward the brand and a broad issue works the best to get search queries related to that brand point toward your brand or YouTube Channel.

4. Distribute your Content & have a schedule

You should never make your subscribers feel like you are being irrelevant with your content due to slow posting. That’s why distribute your old content pieces as YouTube Shorts and move your audiences to other platforms to keep them updated about your business.

Breaking down your content into pieces and redirecting the audience from places like Pinterest, IG and Tiktok to YouTube is a must for a long term success as it helps in getting the YouTube community together for better long term growth.

5. Guide Your Audiences to Your Existing Content

Try to always guide your audience to existing content rather than using tactics like “Subscribe for more” and “pushing likes and shares”. Interlink every next video to your videos to keep the maximum retention across all your pieces of content.

Interlinking your YouTube Content building a better personal experience for your viewership should be your best priority.

YouTube Creators like Colin and Samir are always sharing their previous clips in future videos to make the new viewers tune into their best content. You can watch their videos and learn how to replicate that for your YT channel.

6. Writing Better Titles and Crafting Best Thumbnails

Writing better Titles every time boils down to different tactics, according to the subject of your video. But here’s few key elements of writing a great title!

1. Curiosity - Building up a short story in your title to build up the curiosity.

2. Time Frame - Using Time Frames in your Titles help viewers to build assumptions and insights they will have by the end of the video.

3. Authority- Using Authority building Words or names in your Titles will help you to increase the click-through-rate.

4. Desire - Sometimes try to keep it simple and try to fulfil your audience’s desire with a simple title.

5. Negativity/ Positivity - Try to show your video messaging through your Titles like it will help, fix your mistakes, expose your problems. A negative and positive messaging is important.

For Thumbnails, Try to focus on giving more than context, that’s what title does. You should fuel their imagination with your Thumbnail designs. Making them understand the visual elements of the video just by seeing your thumbnail. I am going to do analysis of my favorite Thumbnails, You can subscribe here to read it.

7+ Instagram Algorithm Secrets & Tips For You

Growing on Instagram is seems pretty hard in 2022 but I’m going to make it more easy and systematic for you. How?

In this post, I will explain you how Instagram algorithm works and then we will move on to strategies and tactics that you can use to grow on Instagram in 2022.

At the end, you will have a clear plan for taking over Instagram this year. So, let’s start with Understanding how Instagram algorithm works in 2022!

Explaining Instagram Algorithm 2022

Last week, I found a secret community of Instagram employees sharing their
knowledge about Instagram algorithm and much more.And here is what I found
for you?

1. Instagram uses “Read Path Models” to rank content.

Lots of creators are just sharing valuable
content and wondering why they are not
growing but the thing is the algorithm use
"read path models" to filter content for explore page and in this algorithm observe how
similar your content is to the creators that
are already on the explore. And things like
engaging, similar Color scheme and the
heading text helps algorithm understand
your content and rank on explore. So, if you
are out of community and trends, you will
find harder to get your posts to explore station.

2. You Entered Instagram 2.0 after violating guidelines

Instagram algorithm includes various
structures like Iteration speed, value
Modeling and many more. All that focus on
making the Instagram feed worth staying
and after a violation. Instagram starts to
prioritise your content lesser as these
structures don't want bad content on the
feed. And after few weeks or months, if
algorithm tracks that your content is
performing well. Your account will be back
on track you just need to be consistent after
violation.

3. Posting more frequently will not help you grow faster

Why? Because when algorithm hashes users
to add to "suggested accounts" and other aspects. The accounts with more posts come up again but the algorithm eliminates them and the account is mentioned once. After that the account is tracked by algorithm and focuses more on things like how many followers are liking the post and how long they are viewing the video content. So, algorithm doesn't care about posting frequency as much as you think. That's why focus on engaging frequency more than posting because that will help you get exposure more easily and algorithm can't stop you + will mark you as an active user in the community.

4. The Weakest Algorithm: Instagram Reels

Even Instagram will not accept this statement
but reels is not just a feature. Reels is like a
different part of the app and it needs a different algorithm. Why? Think of Tiktok, one algorithm running the platform and providing the right content to a targeted audience. Can that algorithm also work for photos? No, the same thing is with reels. The algorithm for reels is in development, duplicated content is going viral, wrong videos are reaching to users. Instagram reels algorithm is not just organic, it's in development. I am also watching reels from creators, I never engaged with and many others too are facing the same issues.

Suggestion for you: If you want to learn more deeply about Instagram Reels algorithm you can read my post on mastering Instagram reels.

I hope now you have a clear understanding of how Instagram algorithm works and validates your content. Now, let’s move to tactics and tips to grow on Instagram!

Growing to 10,000+ Instagram followers in 2022

Reaching first 10,000 followers is a milestone for every Instagram user and here is how you can achieve that level in 5 Steps!

1. Optimise Your Instagram Bio

Most people on Instagram are suggesting to have a long Instagram bio but is that helpful? No, that's what your post are for! You need to keep your bio short and simple to understand for the visitor. LinkedIn, Twitter, Tiktok on all platforms Creators are keeping it short and simple because you just need to give an amazing first impression to make them move to your posts section or link in bio.

2. Start Actively Engaging and networking with creators

First, start creating posts and introduce yourself to the community of creators in your niche. You can easily find the best creators in
your niche through hashtags, and explore page. Then, you need to network with them and show them why you are creating content
and never make them feel like you are doing it for a purpose because then you will never make them trust you and recommend
you to your audience. I recommend you reading "how to win friends and influence people" to master the art of making people
believe in you or another hack you can use be real with your vision behind connecting because that always seem to work!

3. Post Consistently To keep your engagement Rate Up

You need to Post consistently and try to level up your content by studying the insights and keep engaging with your favourite creators and try to find new creators like you trying to grow on social media. And try to connect
with your newly grown followers because that will help you build a loyal community of followers and then at last post meaningful stories because most creators try to fake Stories or try to make them perfect but it's about making stories worth watching for your followers.

4. Do Collaborations with your Network of Creators

There are 2-3 methods or basically ways to do
collaborations. For Instagram live collaboration, you need to build a great connection with collaborator first and then ask them out to do a live with you on a certain topic. Then, the typical post collab that you can pitch straight away to the
creator if they are open to collabs and if not by building a connection. The third method is long-term collaboration- only a few pages are open to these and they are hard to find. But
after all that finding, pitching, formatting. What's left?

Understanding the new
and old audiences

The new followers gained from the collaboration can build up your account or can destroy your account. Why and how? The
new followers will have a different interest and appeal toward your account and your existing followers will want the same
thing from you. That's why you need to create a balance between the two audiences by asking the new followers what they want and understand how that appeals to your audience.

5. Master Instagram Stories to build a strong community

Understanding story insights is the key to reach more followers through stories. Here is what you don't know 🔽

“Instagram story views increase and decrease based on “navigation” and “interaction”.

What's navigation?

In Instagram story insights, you will see a metric called “navigation” and below that you will see

Back- means the follower swiped back to see your last story or someone else's story they saw before!
Forward- means the follower clicked to see your next story
Next story- the follower moved to see someone else's story
Exited- means the follower left the stories.

Founded: If your story have more forward and next stories. Then Instagram will push your stories to more followers as they want users to watch more stories and stay in stories tab.

Why?: After 2-3 stories they hit users with an ad!
