9 Value Skews


Let's dive in and inspect these ideas more closely, and then we'll talk about how to generate these talking points...


1. Tips

.These are bits of "actionable" information your provide to help make a process faster, easier, cheaper, and more valuable.

For example...

If you're teaching people about weight-loss, you could provide tips for staying full and satiated between meals.

2. Examples

Here's where you illustrate a point by showing your audience how to do something. For example... (see what I did there?)

If you're teaching people "How to" craft sales letter headlines, you can provide specific examples illustrating the tips you're sharing. I mean...

Suppose you've taught people to use curiosity - you can provide an example like, "The Surprising Diet Hack That NEVER Fails."

3. Mistakes

What are the common pitfalls people make in your niche... especially when trying to achieve a specific outcome?

Share these mistakes with your audience, along with valuable pointers on how to avoid them (Tips). 

For example...

If you're showing people "How To," write a sales letter, you can point out how the features of a product or service won't motivate them anywhere near as much as the "benefits" of those products or services.

4. Dos and Don'ts

A great list of dos and don'ts can help make a process much easier, along with steps to avoid -  that might derail progress.

For example...

  • Do... Create benefit-driven headlines.
  • Don't... Mention the price until you've built value for your offer.

5. FAq's

This is where you list frequently asked questions from your audience and then answer them.

For example...

People on a weight loss drive might ask, "What's the fastest way to drop 10 pounds?" You can answer this along with a list of other related questions.

6. data

This is where you'll share important polling data, survey results... results from scientific studies, and similar data and facts.

Because, providing this sort of information lends credibility to the system you're sharing. For example...

If you're teaching people how to lose weight, you could shar a study about how to boost the "metabolic rate" (metabolism).

7. alternatives

The idea here is to provide different methods for people who can't complete your process exactly as described. For example...

If you're showing people how to use weight training to lose weight, you might provide body-weight exercise alternatives for those who don't have access to weights or a gym.

8. Troubleshooting

Here you can help people troubleshoot common problems. For example...

If they're not getting enough traffic, you can dissect what they might be doing wrong, and fix it for them

9.Tools

You can add plenty of value to your system by including helpful tools that get people to take action and simplify the information. These tools could be...

  • Worksheets
  • Checklists
  • Swipes
  • Mind-maps
  • Assignments
  • Cheat-sheets
  • Planners/calendars

For example... if you're showing people how to get rid of debt, you might include a budgeting worksheet.

Now, let's take a look at how to brainstorm and research all these ideas...

How To Generate Talking Points

Here are the two main methods...

  1. Brainstorm what you know about the topic 
  2. Research what others know.

Go to each step of your outline and brainstorm tips, examples, mistakes, and so on... that adds value to your system. For example...

  • Copywriting tips
  • Sales letter headline tips
  • Sales letter dos and don'ts
  • Copywriting mistakes to avoid
  • Sales letter examples
  • Copywriting FAQs
  • Troubleshooting a sales letter
  • Best list of sales letter tips
  • Copywriting science

Make sure you run multiple related searches for each type of talking point to get as many ideas as possible.

And as always, make sure you focus on "credible" sources of information only. Dig deep to discover anything unusual.

    1. Hi Herman,

      Thanks for taking the time to leave such a well thought out and thorough comment.

      I’m glad the article has been of value, and you’re sharing the ideas I’ve disclosed. 

      Also, as I’ve said in the post…

      Make sure you’ve researched your audience thoroughly, and discovered their main problems, pain-points, and desires, because, when you do… 

      It’s a cinch to attract the “right” people for your products and services.

      They’re fighting over prospects that are NOT a match for their business, completely losing out on massive opportunities, and wasting tons of time, energy, and money.

      Have a great day.
