So what kind of test do we want to run here? In the Micro Plan, you'll see at the bottom, a place to establish two channels that we're going to measure. A channel is just one way of saying how are we going to reach out to people? What channel are we going to use? We're looking for things that are easy and inexpensive that we can use to ask people and test these headlines. Here is an overview of the options that you can use, and then I'll dive into them in greater depth as we continue in this chapter. First is an interview or a survey. You can do this online or by calling people, even going door to door or face to face. You're just simply asking the question. Number two is running an online ad. This is the non-paper click version where you list something on a website or a classified ad site, and then you're going to track how many calls you receive from that ad. Number three is pay-per-click. This is social or search engine type listings where we're going to track how many people click on the ads with the headlines that you use. You can also come up with your own ideas and be creative. It's not limited to just these three, but this is a starting point. And these tests move us out of the realm of just guessing and start to give us some hard data, and this will increase the probability of success.

class="transcripts__quotation">“</span> <p> - So we've got the concept and we have some headlines. So what kind of test do we want to run here? In the Micro Plan, you'll see at the bottom, a place to establish two channels that we're going to measure. A channel is just one way of saying how are we going to reach out to people? What channel are we going to use? We're looking for things that are easy and inexpensive that we can use to ask people and test these headlines. Here is an overview of the options that you can use, and then I'll dive into them in greater depth as we continue in this chapter. First is an interview or a survey. You can do this online or by calling people, even going door to door or face to face. You're just simply asking the question. Number two is running an online ad. This is the non-paper click version where you list something on a website or a classified ad site, and then you're going to track how many calls you receive from that ad. Number three is pay-per-click. This is social or search engine type listings where we're going to track how many people click on the ads with the headlines that you use. You can also come up with your own ideas and be creative. It's not limited to just these three, but this is a starting point. And these tests move us out of the realm of just guessing and start to give us some hard data, and this will increase the probability of success. </p> </div> </div> </section> </div>  <div class="tab__panel" tabindex="0" role="tabpanel" hidden> <section class="core-section-container my-3 offline">  <h2 class="core-section-container__title section-title"> Download courses and learn on the go </h2>  <div class="core-section-container__content break-words"> <p class="offline__description"> Watch courses on your mobile device without an internet connection.
