Remember This

Google Ads provides a huge opportunity, but it can also present a lot of challenges for small businesses. In today's podcast I walk you through the 9 most common Google Ads challenges and how to overcome them.

Harnessing the full potential of Google Ads is easier said than done, especially if you're a small business owner who is new to online advertising.

But make no mistake — overcoming the challenges of using Google Ads is more than worth your while.

Creating effective ad campaigns requires research, optimisation and a whole lot of patience. Jump through all the hoops, though, and you'll eventually connect your business with dozens of potential customers.

Getting started with your Google Ads is easy, but getting results (i.e. real leads and sales) can be hard.

Advertising is a great way for eCommerce brands to attract a relevant audience to their websites.

This improves their chances of amplifying sales since they will be targeting people who are most likely to be interested in their products.

However, you may still end up with mediocre results in spite of effective targeting and an attractive ad creative.

More often than not, that happens because you're committing one -or more- of the three "Cardinal Sins" of eCommerce advertising.

For the sake of the business, it's important for brands and marketers to be aware of them, so they know exactly what they need to avoid.

Let's take a look at the three of the most common eCommerce advertising mistakes and how you can overcome them.

Don't Make Me Think, Revisited. By Steve Krug

Since Don't Make Me Think was first published in 2000, hundreds of thousands of Web designers and developers have relied on usability guru Steve Krug's guide to help them understand the principles of intuitive navigation and information design. Witty, commonsensical, and eminently practical, it's one of the best-loved and most recommended books on the subject. Now Steve returns with fresh perspective to reexamine the principles that made Don't Make Me Think a classic–with updated examples and a new chapter on mobile usability. And it's still short, profusely illustrated…and best of all–fun to read. If you've read it before, you'll rediscover what made Don't Make Me Think so essential to Web designers and developers around the world. If you've never read it, you'll see why so many people have said it should be required reading for anyone working on Web sites. "After reading it over a couple of hours and putting its ideas to work for the past five years, I can say it has done more to improve my abilities as a Web designer than any other book."

–Jeffrey Zeldman, author of Designing with Web Standards

Is Email Marketing Dead?

The short answer to the question is "no." Email marketing is not dead, and if anything, it's finding resurgence in popularity and effectiveness. To say that people hate email is a gross oversimplification. What they hate is receiving emails they don't want.

With the rise and proliferation of inbound marketing tactics, many companies are finding that email is not only an important part of their strategies, but that it is also one of the most effective.

The days of spam are long over (did spam ever work?) and the rise of targeted, opt-in email marketing is proving to be a healthy contributor to a company's overall success. Email marketing should absolutely be part of your company's marketing strategy.

The number-one reason to keep using email marketing is that people are still checking their inboxes. Interest comes and goes in relation to social media platforms, but email consistently shows a high ROI for every dollar spent.

Every day people are checking email, at least once. Many even spend their working hours with their inboxes open.

If your marketers have been considering abandoning email strategies, then you need to get them to stop! Email marketing is here, and it will stick around as long as email is still the cheapest, fastest, most effective way to share information quickly. Start building your opt-in list today, and tomorrow you can be marketing to interested consumers.

Does Email Marketing Still Work?

According to a new survey from the Content Marketing Institute, 83% of B2Bmarketers are still using email marketing via eNewsletters to reach their target audience. ... Though email marketing only works if you know how to work it.

59% of B2B marketers say email is their most effective channel in terms of revenue generation. 56 percent of brands using emoji in their email subject lines had a higher open rate, according to a report by Experian. Tuesday is the best day of the week to send email (according to 10 email marketing studies)

The Importance of the Subject Line

When it comes to sending an important email, whether it be to one person or a mass marketing communication, the key to success is creating engaging content. With email marketing, the aim is to achieve a high open rate and, ideally, a high click rate.

What is an email subject line?

Subject line is the part of the email that subscribers see when it lands in their inbox. They use it to judge whether an email is worth opening.

Let's go over a few quick tips that should get you more clicks!

1. Put the offer/information up front. The further back in the subject line your offer is, the less chance it has of being read. ...
2. Keep your subject line short. ...
3. Give it a sense of urgency. ...
4. Make it personal. ...
5. Triple check your spelling and grammar. ...
6. Bonus tip: Email headline ideas (I.e. Your inbox!)

Discipline Equals Freedom: Field Manual

Jocko Willink's methods for success were born in the SEAL Teams, where he spent most of his adult life, enlisting after high school and rising through the ranks to become the commander of the most highly decorated special operations unit of the war in Iraq.

In Discipline Equals Freedom, the #1 New York Times bestselling coauthor of Extreme Ownership describes how he lives that mantra: the mental and physical disciplines he imposes on himself in order to achieve freedom in all aspects of life.

Many books offer advice on how to overcome obstacles and reach your goals—but that advice often misses the most critical ingredient: discipline. Without discipline, there will be no real progress.

Discipline Equals Freedom covers it all, including strategies and tactics for conquering weakness, procrastination, and fear, and specific physical training presented in workouts for beginner, intermediate, and advanced athletes, and even the best sleep habits and food intake recommended to optimise performance.

What's the best digital marketing tactic for driving new prospects to your website?

One Tactic Alone Can Never Be the Best

Sure, one tactic will likely be better than others for your business, but that doesn't mean you should rely solely on that tactic.

Here's why… If you're relying on SEO or advertising or social media marketing or any other tactic to drive leads and sales for your business, then you're extremely vulnerable.

What happens if Google makes a change to their algorithm and your website is suddenly on page 10 of the search results instead of page 1?

Or what if new advertisers enter your market and drive up the costs so that it's no longer profitable? Or what if Facebook suddenly prevents your messages from reaching all of your prospects and customers (oops, this already happened!)

Well, if you're relying on that one tactic, then your business is clearly in trouble.

The answer to this potentially devastating problem should be fairly obvious…

The Motivation Myth: How High Achievers Really Set Themselves Up to Win by Jeff Haden

"Motivation" as we know it is a myth. Motivation isn't the special sauce that we require at the beginning of any major change. In fact, motivation is a result of process, not a cause. Understanding this will change the way you approach any obstacle or big goal. Haden shows us how to reframe our thinking about the relationship of motivation to success. He meets us at our level--at the beginning of any big goal we have for our lives, a little anxious and unsure about our way forward, a little burned by self help books and strategies that have failed us in the past—and offers practical advice that anyone can use to stop stalling and start working on those dreams.

Balancing work, family and other commitments can be a real challenge in this increasingly fast-paced world. Sometimes you can feel like there just aren't enough hours in the day to do everything. Though luckily, there are plenty of practical and proven ways to reduce your time pressures and get your busy life under control again.

Here are some of the best:

Identify your task priorities and do those first.Knowing what jobs take priority helps you to tackle the stuff that really matters.

Write everything in one diary

Do you have a work diary, and a social calendar, and a to-do list, and a digital diary and a year planner? The problem with having so many different planning systems is that it's very easy to lose track of what you're supposed to be doing when, and it's all too easy to double-book events. Try to settle on one diary system that works best for you, and keep it with you so you can refer to it often.

Think of it as your Bible, and be very familiar with its contents. It could be a hard copy diary (make sure it has hourly timeframes) or a digital version such as Google Calendar or Microsoft Outlook.

These digital diaries allow you to colour-code your tasks and create privacy settings so only you can see your personal entries. Used well, they can be a great tool for improving your time management

Schedule as much as you can

Scheduling really is the key to getting your life organised and feeling like you're in control. Schedule your meetings, your leisure activities, your study time, your household chores, your grocery shopping.

Schedule unscheduled time! Use time-frames, rather than leaving things open-ended. Estimate how long a task is going to take and give yourself a bit of leeway. For example, "complete my report Tuesday 2-4pm".

When a task is scheduled, your stress and anxiety levels reduce because you're not worried about whether or not you'll have the time to do it – it's right there in your diary, so it's almost as if it's already done.

If your plans are disrupted, immediately re-schedule your task

Our routines are disrupted all the time. Your child gets sick, your workmate needs advice urgently, your client has an important issue that needs addressing. It's vital to re-schedule your interrupted task immediately so you keep on track.

Do one thing at a time, and minimise distractions

Effective multi-tasking is a myth. Numerous studies show we are more productive when we focus on one task at a time. Sometimes this can be a challenge, especially if you're working in an open-plan office.

Look for ways to minimise your distractions by turning off notifications on your digital devices, finding a quiet space somewhere, or telling colleagues that you won't be available for the next hour.

Delegate as much as you can

If you're in a position to delegate jobs, use this privilege to free up time for yourself and to give others opportunities for growth. Ensure you create clear expectations for them, and be available for advice and direction. If you do these two things right, you're empowering the delegate, not just bossing them.

If you feel overwhelmed by a big project, break it down into steps

Tackling big projects can be a daunting prospect, and it can be difficult to know where to start. When this happens, it helps to create a timeline and break it down into smaller steps. This way, you only have to focus on completing one step at a time.

Schedule breaks if needed

If you start suffering burn-out, it's important to schedule your breaks - even if it's just for 5 or 10 minutes – to ensure you get the rest and relaxation you need. You'll always be more efficient and productive if you take regular breaks, rather than trying to work through for hours on end. Your brain requires a refresh now and then to work at its optimum.

Use timeframes for actioning emails

Dealing with emails can be a time-sucking monster for many of us. Constantly checking and responding to them can take up much of your day, and disrupt your routine. Scheduling specific timeframes for checking and actioning emails can make a big difference to your productivity.

Reading emails once in the morning and once in the afternoon can be an effective way to create more time. Also, remember that if something is really that urgent or important, you'll probably get a phone call, not an email.

At the start of your day or week, organise as much as you can

You'll know that certain tasks need to be done or that specific appointments need to be kept for the coming day or week, so schedule these into your diary at the start, and add more tasks around them later. The more organised you are at the beginning of your work week, the smoother things will go.

Keep your surroundings neat and tidy

Your physical surroundings can have a detrimental effect on your state of mind. If your workspace is messy and unorganised, your mind tends to reflect that, which will be damaging to your ability to perform your job effectively. Try to keep your home clean and tidy as well, so it's a sanctuary that gives you a sense of calm and wellbeing, and allows you to unwind and re-charge after work.

Look for ways to improve your systems

Finally, systems can always be improved, so seek out innovative ways to make your life easier by streamlining processes and procedures, and using new technology to maximise efficiencies.
