Direct Campaigns
‣ Sharing your ideas with people who already know, like and trust you (or people close to them) will enhance your authority with them and has the highest chance of turning into client work fast. However it doesn’t broaden your authority.
‣ Direct campaigns get your ideas into the hands of your ideal clients quickly to build your authority without needing approval from anyone or relying on the reach of others. They can usually also be scaled easily simply by pushing more money into them. It’s a great method of building an initial “tribe”.

Indirect Campaigns ‣ Indirect campaigns rely on others to share your ideas with their audiences so can take much longer, but can get you broader and more prestigious distribution. 4
Other criteria for choosing your campaigns Will this campaign/media reach a significant number of your target clients? (e.g. do enough of them use the media you’re planning to use) Will this approach make a big impact on them? Does this approach play to your communication strengths? Does this approach have inherent prestige? Does this approach take significant time or money?

Understanding client and subscriber lifetime value
Customer/client lifetime value = average profit earned from client over their lifetime
The value of a client is usually much more than the initial product or service they buy Increase lifetime value: ‣ Retain clients longer ‣ Get them to buy more products and services from you while they’re a client
Higher lifetime value (and being aware of what it is) = greater ability to invest in marketing to win clients ‣ If you can afford to invest more in marketing than your competitors because you
have a higher lifetime value, eventually you’ll win more clients than them

Over time, you’ll want to identify a Lifetime client value per marketing channel as clients from different sources may have different values
And you’ll want to understand the value of an email subscriber - so you’ll immediately know if you’re paying too much for your campaigns
