Brainy Snack 🧠
Your buyers have a favorite word.
It’s their name.
The Cocktail Party Effect is your buyer’s ability to hear their name amongst all the noise of a crowded room.
And it works online too.
Adding your buyers’ names to your subject lines increases open rates and click-through rates.
It even decreases unsubscribe rates.
Brainy principle used: Names
UGC ads are high converters because they’re full of social proof.
But most brands need help to get high-quality UGC at scale, with full content copyrights, to use across all marketing channels.
Enter Insense – the all-in-one UGC + influencer marketing platform for DTC brands and agencies.
“We’ve been able to source quite a lot of great creators that fit our creator avatar from Insense, and the turnaround time for the content has been a week or less. Also, the fact I can whitelist content with a few clicks is key.”

Brainy Breakdown 🤓
There’s momentum after the sale.
Don’t lose it.
Your buyers are experiencing Action Bias at the moment right after they purchase a product or opt-in.
They’re riding the high of taking an action that solves their problem. And they want to do it again.
Nathan Barry points out how Ben Meer does this with 3 offers on his newsletter Thank You page.

Because LinkedIn is what Twitter was two years ago.
Two years ago, people like Sahil Bloom were averaging 50,000 new followers per month on Twitter.
The tide has shifted.
Twitter’s algorithm has changed.
And LinkedIn has taken their crown.
Justin Welsh has grown by 51,000 LinkedIn followers in just 3 months.
What’s their secret?
They spend 10 minutes a day working on their personal brand.

His LinkedIn carousel posts pull in hundreds of likes and replies.
We’re lucky to know Neal…and to know that the effort he’s putting into these graphics is strategic. 🧠
Here’s a breakdown of how Neal is getting attention on LinkedIn by using psychology biases:
