- There is a rise in content advertising, which requires a level of education to lead people to the next step to opt-in or purchase.

A/B Split Testing
- Conversion Fanatics has run more than 1,500 split tests over the past few years.
- Justin is a firm believer in incremental changes, and is not a fan of multi-variant testing.
- Multi-variant testing brings mixed and inconclusive results.

The Hungry Market
- If there is a bunch of different products being sold, it is a hungry market.
- Google what is selling in a particular market as your first step.
- Check affiliate networks for customer acquisition CPA networks that have the offers running.
- How saturated is the market, and what is the cost when it comes to keywords?
- If someone is buying and selling, then you can see a companies spend.
New Products
- If the product or offer is new or groundbreaking, they will typically have less traction.
- You will need to grind in order to figure out what the market needs and what messaging corresponds with the pain points and how the product interacts.
