Carl Von Clausewitz: Marketing Warfare & the Force Multiplier

Mel, 150 years ago, the Prussian military genius Carl Von Clausewitz attained godlike status for his mastery of the psychology of war. His most important contribution was his doctrine of the Force Multiplier:  A small advantage in firepower and manpower leads to a huge advantage in outcome. If Army A has 2 units and Army B has 3 units, then the force B has an advantage of not 3:2 but actually.... Witness how huge the advantage is here Perry Marshall . . ***NOTE: Please do not reply directly to this email, instead go to http://support.perrymarshall.com  Update subscriber options

17 Things Yo Momma Never Told You About AdWords, Part 3

Mel,

EVERY market has a hole. An un-scratched itch.

There is no such thing as a market that does not. 

No matter how tough the competition, no matter what's going on out there, there is an unmet need. 

Because, as my customer service manager Jeremy Flanagan says: "The well of human desires is bottomless." 

Do a Google search - look at the first page of results. 10 organic listings and 11 ads. Look at what they say. Visit the websites and see what they offer. 

No matter who they are, there's an itch they're all failing to scratch. 

Find the itch and you can chisel your way in. 

How do you find that itch? 

You ask two simple questions: 

"What problem are you trying to solve today?" 

and 

"How hard has it been to find a solution to this problem? Not hard - sort of hard - or very hard?" 

If you ask 50 people this question and get 50 answers, all the people who said "very hard" are telling you where the hole is in your market. 

Find a need and fill it. And you'll experience the kind of 24/7 automated success that a profitable AdWords campaign is capable of providing you. More in Chapter 28.
