Your Next Million

What's happening y'all? This is an honest to God, real live actual planned podcast episode. So let's dig right on into it. I got a question, a good question, the other day. I forgot who asked me so I can't credit them that, but whoever you are, thanks for asking it. The question was, what three beliefs do you wish you had when you were 20? Which was really a good question. All the self-help folks,...

So you lead with the lead magnet and you have to email them, obviously. Do you just email them both the lead magnet and a link to the VSL? Or do you have any recommendations on the first email you send after the opt-in via the lead ad? Yeah. First of all, if you have a VSL and it's educational, then your lead magnet can be the video itself...

How do you inspire yourself to create content?  Dude. It's fun! So, this is like...this, debauchery and food, and, you know, inappropriate things to talk about on a livestream that all other dudes think about it. This is the only thing that I ever think about. Ever. 

I had some problems with the ad approval. I'm selling mortgage and basically I'm trying to base my ad upon the refinancing of the mortgage. So I would like to ask you for some advice, for my copy, so it doesn't get not approved. 

Let's get to work. OK, try to do these every day. Share some new insights. Some picking up along the way. Crazy thing happened on Clubhouse yesterday, which is increasingly addicting, by the way. Who knows what will happen with this thing? So many questions around the topic of Clubhouse. Is it going to replace this or that or the other? The answer in my opinion is no. It's not going to replace any...

One more question. A friend of mine asked me to help with an ad for a water purification system he sells, but this will be very hard to try to get leads for that. So the lowest hanging fruit is going to be an individual who's thinking about buying...

I'm getting a good quantity of leads, but they are not scheduling consults or calling or emailing at the rate that I would like. So my question is what's the number one thing I should do next? OK. What's the thing you sell?

So my niche is a sub-niche, it's dreadlocks, which is a sub-niche of natural hair. And so if I were targeting natural hair, there are lots of influencers and products and brands that I could target, but not so much, being the case for specifically dreadlocks. So I'm trying to think about how do I expand and find different targets when there's really not targetable...

Let's talk about money goals. They say you're supposed to have 'em and they say you're supposed to set financial targets. I got to tell you, I'm not sure I agree. I mean, to some degree, obviously it's a pretty good idea, but here's something I'll share with you from personal experience, might help you have yourself more fun and a better life...

He had, from April to July, his best roll on Facebook ads. He had 13x return on ad spend, and then he screwed up. He had to set up all of the business into another account. His cost per lead went up 10x the normal cost on conversions sank. Same pixel, same audience. What could be some of the reasons that he should look over to see why that happened?  OK. We're getting into harder core stuff, but I...

There's something I forgot to mention to you, which is how absolutely horrible the sales page is. Seriously, look at it...

A lot of people are curious about the in-between...they publish their ads, what should they be doing for the next three days? Just while they're waiting for the ads?  Any recommendations? 

Let's talk about one of the most powerful, mass-influence methods ever. I wanted to say weapons, but that just sounds weird. I don't want to weaponize this kind of thing. You know, technique, strategy, tactic, how 'bout that? Anyway, before I tell you about this, I want to warn you, this cannot be faked...

What you can learn (and implement) from celebrity sex tapes.

The question is, with iOS 14 blocking so many things, is it going to make stuff break? Now he's specifically referencing, is intent-based branding going to be changed? That's a method of getting attention and then retargeting people, and if so, what do you think is going to go on? So the short version of the question, hey Apple did some weird stuff and Apple and Facebook aren't getting along right...

So what was I wanting to talk to y'all about? Last night I was briefly on Clubhouse again. I've got to tell you, you got to watch out for that thing. It is very addictive. I got on there, was screwing around...The first room didn't really make a lot of sense to me... Then I jumped into another one, I think it was a room called millionaires helping millionaires, or something. I don't know, but some...

I'm wondering, should I make my challenge more general to cater to all interests? So I have people that are coming into this challenge that are probably interested in cosmetics or outdoors or beauty...or should I tweak the challenge and make it only about one specific niche?

How long, how much time do you give each ad until you switch it off again, on a new campaign? I'll give three days, generally speaking. When I create a new ad, I don't usually stick it into an existing campaign, so I'll just create a new campaign with a new ad. So a lot of times...
