Smart Passive Income #152 - Numbers or Beeing Quniqe

This blog moved to a new location, please visit us at http://ramble.m2m.at.
 
Pat really likes numbers, and to mix them in ways any mathematician would be jealous. (Multiply pi by two and again with the radius of a circle, ... voila, that's the way you become rich ... sorry, kidding ...)

Three tidbits of "today's" post:
  • People buying from you once will likely buy from you again (... in other words, it's easier to satisfy an existing customer, than to get a new one)
  • Optimize the "dollars earned per customer" buy finding the optimum price for your product (not too cheap, not too expensive, ... which is actually quite difficult ...)
  • You don't need a lot of customers to become successful (if you product sells for the "right" price)

... and two approaches to achieve what's said above:
  • enter a popular market, and gain a market share using an unique angle
  • specialize in niches (where you might not have to fight with that many competitors, but still need an unique angle)
... or to summarize: BE UNIQUE

Smart Passive Income #86 & #87 - Unique Selling Point

This blog moved to a new location, please visit us at http://ramble.m2m.at.

Pat explains the importance of a unique selling point (or proposition). In his words "find out what makes you stand out from the crouwd and milk it" ... which is actually a marketing strategy populare since the early 1940s.
  • make a concrete offer to the customers: "buy this for that benefit"
  • it needs to be unique in a sense that no competitor can or does offer it
  • it needs to be strong enough to attract new customers
Pat invited his readers to post their unique selling points, which he categorized into
  • stories as a USP
  • direct comparisions
  • the truth as USP
  • numbers as USP
