Start with the Struggle, Not the Solution

 

Ever notice how the best weight loss marketers don’t start with abs?

They start with pain. The before shot. The “I can’t button my jeans” moment.

They talk about the person before the transformation. They ask questions that make you nod and go, “Yeah… that’s me.”

Then, only then, do they drop the before-and-after photo.

And by that point, you’re not looking at them anymore. You’re looking at you.

So if you’re out there selling your magic beans, your killer service, your big bold solution, stop shouting about the AFTER. Start telling the story of the BEFORE.

That’s where your people live. That’s where they recognize themselves. That’s where your audience leans in.
