S1 Ep 379Avi Arya - How To Build Influence With Micro-Videos
We rarely bring on guests that do a cold reach out to us, but Avi Arya is one of the rare guests who made it onto the show that way, and he did this by using the same video technique that he shared on this show to contact us. He is the first video outreach we ever brought on, and his video really stood out, over the approximate 30 requests we get on a daily basis. Avi covers a variety of video formats, and he managed to build a $126,500 who have been on his program which starts at his $1 webinar. He’s also got a huge following on Instagram and gives a ton of free value on there and Facebook. What intrigued us, is this is something we’ve been doing and we’ve never had a methodical process. Avi also gave us so many additional ideas to use this style of video, and you could start with the videos we outline then go deeper on so many other videos with his catalog. Plus, you can start all of this using just your phone. The video is personally customized and it’s simple outreach that sends you to his YouTube channel. It doesn’t take a long time to create, and the reason he does this is that he wants to be with his family more. If you are not using video and leveraging these tools, this is like magic, and you need to harness it now to connect with people. After you have listened, be sure to listen to our chats with Shaina Weisinger and Gideon Shalwick as they dive into the keys to keep people watching your videos and the best tips for the highest engagement. “I think you have to put your foot down and say ‘I’ll give you stellar service, but I do it only on video.’ You have to tell people this is how I do my business.” - Avi Arya Some Topics We Discussed Include: How the video factor wows your potential customers Examples of exactly what to say in your video Getting buyers for 90 cents a lead and a $1 trial offer How the pandemic has changed the way entrepreneurs spend their time Avi’s 4-minute video formula for outreach A winning strategy to use with Quora ads An overview of the 33 videos in the program, including all the social media platforms What you are probably not taking advantage of with your Instagram profile but definitely should be using The superpower of the 21st century and how you can leverage it to gain an audience How often you should be making videos and the perfect length, depending on your goals Resources From Avi Arya: You can see Avi’s offers on his Instagram: AskAviArya References and Links Mentioned: Internet Moguls Bonjoro Loom Are you ready to be EPIC with us?!

S1 Ep 377Mikael Dia - The Momentum Engine To Grow Your Business
Today’s show is a special one, as it’s the first podcast we recorded in our new Flowchart Studios location, chatting with Mikael Dia from Funnelytics. On today’s show, we discussed his momentum engine which is his four-step process that is customer-centric to attract, close, deliver and retain. Also, his 1-3-10 process is very cool, and if you are struggling for sales, he makes some great points. He’s got this concept about not bothering to run ads because if you are trying to get your first 100 leads on your list, use your social media account and your friends, tap your existing network, then ask them to tap their own network. If you are just getting started, just figure out how to get that first one, then duplicate the same system for the first three, then the first ten. We talk also about how to scale, bring more revenue into the process and dive into whether that’s the right market for you, instead of being caught up in the latest ways to drive traffic. With Funnelytics you can really drill down to see what the high impact stuff is, so you can scale those things and you are not guessing in your marketing anymore. After you have enjoyed this show, and to get even more insight into testing your marketing tactics, check out our episodes with Shaqir Hussyin and Anfernee Chansamooth. “I thought wouldn’t it be cool if I could just draw my funnel on a canvas and overlay all my data just like I would on a whiteboard, and that’s how Funnelytics came to be.” - Mikael Dia Some Topics We Discussed Include: How Funnelyitics came to be and the process of creating a new piece of software Testing and trying new online methods until you get that very first sale You want to have this one, very important thing when building a software company How to validate your product idea while giving value and getting feedback ahead of time Mistakes made along the way when building this tool The two things you need in order to grow your business and how the momentum engine fits in How the 1-3-10 scaling method will help you understand what adjustments need to be made to scale Using data from the software to run simulations and forecast future conversions and revenue Resources From Mikael Dia: Funnelytics References and Links Mentioned: Are you ready to be EPIC with us?!

S1 Ep 376Brian Kurtz - Using The Pandemic To Eliminate What You Don't Want
Brian Kurtz joins us for round two today, and we really love how open he is and how he dives into his wisdom from his book, Overdeliver. We talked about the shifts and pivots people had to make over the last year from going to live events to online conversations. Plus, we chat about the things we’ve had to shave off from our own lives and what we can stop doing, which is something that’s not talked about as much. It’s that non-negotiable part of our lives, which we have individually and collectively been saying no to lately. Something else Brian discusses is non-negotiables in our lives and knowing that if we don’t want to do it, if it’s not fun, which is the main theme of our show lately. We have stopped glorifying the money part of the business but instead, try to glorify our lifestyles. You’ll also hear Brian’s thoughts on what he’s learned from the marketing greats, such as Perry Marshall, Jay Abraham, and Dan Kennedy, and even Picasso, how he uses what he’s learned from direct marketing over the years as well as how he is getting amazing open rates with his emails. After you have listened, you’ll want to check out our chats with Mike Long and Marx Acosta-Rubio for more talk about how to make the best use of your time while using this current economy to your advantage. “If you have content, not everybody is going to see the content all of the time.

S1 Ep 375Dale Beaumont - Plug-N-Play Systems For Any Business
This is the last recording that we recorded in Matt’s office - woo-hoo! We really loved our conversation with today’s guest - Dale Beaumont of BusinessBlueprint.com. The way he creates his systems is so smart, and if you did not see the video version of it, he showed us that he has a flowchart for literally everything he does in his business. His systems include things like how to change the lightbulbs and how to make coffee in the coffee maker as well as more in-depth tasks such as how to set up an email campaign and how to create an asset register. You can see that video on our YouTube channel at HustleAndFlowchart.tv There was also a boatload of mindset stuff, as Dale talked about how we create excuses that hold us back and reminded us that there are so many tasks we do ourselves that are super easy which we know we can hand off to someone else. It’s not about the time, it’s about the mental space and the opportunity cost. Dale also showed us how to document things with apps such as Loom or Otter and how, basically you can run an entire coordinated event, assigning due dates, and linking to all of your SOP’s. We also talk about how he was able to publish 11 different books in one year and how he set up his systems which allow him to travel with his family 4 months out of the year. After you have listened, check out our chats with Michael Gerber, another systems marketer, and Crystal Dwyer Hansen & Mark Victor Hansen who were instrumental in Dale’s success with book publishing. “The reason being is because I had great systems.

They also created a giant swipe file, which anyone can make for their own audience. Now you have a page on your site that’s very attractive where you are aggregating information, getting a ton of backlinks without having to create a 5,000 word post. We also talk about his big exit from the company, and how so many have this idea they will exit, retire onto easy street, but that’s usually never the case.

S1 Ep 367Bob Burg - Creating Influence Through Being A Go-Giver
Bob Burg is the author of quite a few books, notably The Go Giver series, which is one of the very early ones we still reference, and it’s such a smooth read as it’s told in a story form. Being open to receiving is probably one of the things most people struggle with, and this came up in our conversation today as there’s this feeling that we want to constantly give value. For anyone who wants to give non-stop, the receiving does tend to make you feel guilty, so you need to be open to receiving.

13 Badass Women Share 13 Badass Tactics for International Women’s Day
bonusToday marks International Women’s Day, a day dedicated to all the amazing ladies around the world. On this special day, we’d like to pay tribute to the badass women who we have had the pleasure to have as guests on the show during 2020. Check out some of the awesome strategies and tactics which we have covered via these badass gals! Sue Rice - Storytelling Tips Nicknamed the ‘female David Ogilvy’, Sue Rice is famous for writing award-winning copy for countless entrepreneurs and we chatted about her email copywriting tactics which enable her to deliver record-breaking open rates. One idea is to make connections between things that are seemingly unrelated. We are swimming in a sea of metaphors and part of it is just being conscious of it. One way to make it interesting and bring it into a fresher light, is extensive reading, watching movies, etc. The magic is in everything that’s around us. Sue listens to the news on the BBC, which has very clever writers. She also uses an app called Clipboard where you can pick the categories you want to follow. It’s important to do a little bit of collective brainstorming every day to see what people are talking about, otherwise, you are defining what you are doing for them on your terms, not theirs. You want to be entering the conversation in their head and if you are not watching that, it’s hard to do. Molly Mahoney - Facebook Engagement Molly Mahoney of The PrePared Performer, is legendary for her Facebook marketing skills. She’s a wizard at doing Facebook lives and getting organic reach. We chatted all about how Molly is able to get high ticket coaching clients, right from Facebook, how to grow Facebook groups, and how to get interaction on Facebook pages with her four-step process. We loved her advice in regards to getting more engagement on Facebook. She tells us that the rules have changed for bots and there are four types of messages, one of them being a confirmed event reminder. When they comment on the post, they confirm to the bot they want to be reminded of more information. Another way to use this is that when they say yes, you ask them if they want to be reminded about all of your content coming out. Once they confirm, you want to make sure that button opens up to another piece of the conversation so you are engaging in another conversation within that 24 hours. Another strategy is the “Unlock and Share Button”, so when they are in your bot after they get the show notes or whatever it is that you are giving, send another message a minute later that says you have a bonus gift they can get if they share your video, and if they want to access, just click here to unlock and share the video. Lisa Cherney - The More You GFR, The More Impact (And Money) You Will Make Lisa Cherney, now known as The Queen of Clarity, is the host of the ground-breaking confession-based GFR Podcast show for successful soulful entrepreneurs and founder of the GFR Squad, a lively community that is serious about embracing the GFR lifestyle and living a life without regrets. One of her GFR commandments is “Don’t worry about being normal” and the confession is “Where are you not speaking your truth?” That’s where the juice is, determining what is your soapbox. If you weren’t worrying about offending anyone or breaking any laws, what would you want to say? People are too concerned about what strategy they are going to use, but eventually, the strategy will emerge. The more you get real, the more impact you will make. So the first thing is to determine if you are ready. If you’ll do all the strategies and make the investment, this is where to go next. If you are ready, choose the confession question that hits you in the gut and go from there. Just pick the one question, take some time with it, and it will do wonders. Sara Christensen - Defending Your Business Our chat with Sara was really eye-opening as she talks about how one little post sent her world in a spiral, leading to an all-out war waged on her business, thousands of hateful messages, and even death threats. You want to be extra careful what you are putting out there and what you are involved in. If you don’t already have procedures in place of your social media and email communications, you should make sure that whatever you put out in the world is not going to offend or piss someone off. If you are using outside resources for VA’s, you may run a risk. You don’t want someone working on your team, that’s not as invested or doesn’t understand the complications of posting something that might be harmful. Understand the power of social media which is so amazing yet also be weaponized against you. Be mindful to use it as a building block for your business. Consider if there other ways to diversify where your clients are coming from. Ask yourself, “What if your social media channels got taken away today - what other plans do you have in place?” Ilana Wechsler - In-Market Audience Targeting We also chatted with Ilana Wechsler of Green Arrow

S1 Ep 350Dan Norris - Beer, Branding, And Compound Marketing
We have Dan Norris on the show today, and he’s someone who has accomplished quite a lot, with a somewhat different approach to marketing. He focuses on four core pillars: branding, community, storytelling, and content marketing. In this episode, we do a deep dive into all four of those. After founding WP Curve, which was subsequently sold to GoDaddy, Dan started a new venture, Black Hops Brewing in Australia. You’ll hear Dan discuss how he has created one of the biggest and well-known brands in his country (voted the #1`craft brewery in Australia), all with basically no ad spend. There’s a similar thread in the way he’s marketed both his WP Curve brand and his craft beer brand, and it all comes down to his concept of Compound Marketing, which is also the basis behind his new book. When you’re done, check out our conversation with Lisa Cherney for more content strategies and how to be real to your audience even if that means being putting off others, and get some advice from Anthony Constantino, who also runs a super fun company that really resonates with his customers. “It helps to take this approach where you’ve got these things compounding behind the scenes without you necessarily having to do a whole lot. I see our competitors buying billboards and doing paid ads and I’m glad we don’t have to do all that.” - Dan Norris Some Topics We Discussed Include: Taking a bath in beer? (it does wonders for your hair) How to promote a unique beer so that it sells out Why too much advertising can actually a bad thing Drink Dan’s brew and tag us and Dan!

We talk about her goals of retiring early and she dissects her entire business model as she’s an open book. Julie’s business model is so tactical and you’ll be able to take her way of thinking and apply even parts of it to your own business. She just wants to make sure she is showing up on Google without worrying about Facebook ads or even email lists. She’s just sticking to keeping it lean, mean and profitable. Julie has a small portfolio of these sites, which are doing great, and it’s really smart how diversified she is. She discusses how she manages the content, the three most important things to have dialed in on your site, what type of time frame you should look at, how she gets her sites ranks, what to do to get backlinks, as well as how to approach affiliate offers and how to get a higher commission right off the bat.

Today we are talking with John Warrillow, who has written three books - Built To Sell, The Automatic Customer, and The Art Of Selling Your Business. These books cover the basics of how to design your company so that it can be sold in the future, generating revenue from your business, and how to finally make that exit happen. During our chat today, we talked about how to set up your business, why you want to have recurring payments as opposed to a lifetime offer, and how to build a business to potentially scale and exit if it’s built on the back of an influencer or personal brands. We cover a lot of ground in this episode and this is a great conversation for our listeners as a lot of folks are building fan bases, thinking about the marketing side of it, and building traffic to them. This is a great conversation to consider what makes up the value of your business, regardless of whether you are going to sell or not. When you’re done get some more advice about selling and acquiring businesses from our conversations with Carl Allen and Dan & Joe Kalis. “You should focus on branding products in your overall business.

S1 Ep 345Marx Acosta-Rubio - How To Make Time Move Slower To Accomplish More
Marx Acosta-Rubio joins us today for yet another episode and he’s probably the smartest guy we know when it comes to doubling your income and increasing your revenue while also taking more time off to do the fun stuff. We go very deep as always, as he lists out all these amazing tools and principles, such as the Hawthorne Effect, the Getting Things Done principle, the 80/20 rule, the Vital Three, and many more. Then, because he’s read so many books, he’s distilling information from these foundational books and wraps them up into a process that you can apply to your business and your life. The goal here is to double your income to yourself while also doubling your time off. Even though this is counter-intuitive, the more you contain your work time, and plan for trips and/or fun stuff, that’s going to allow you to focus on the core things you need to get done to achieve what you want to achieve. We cover six specific principles in this episode that you can apply, and you’ll see how when you tie them all together, it’s both possible and something special. After you’ve listened, be sure to check out our conversations with Dr. Steve Ruden and David Allen for more information on havening and how to change your habits to get things done. “That’s one of the tricks and how we do that is when the only thing on your mind is the only thing on your mind, and you are aware of that, then time slows down.” - Marx Acosta-Rubio Some Topics We Discussed Include: How to slow the day time so you can put a week’s worth of experiences in a day Wise lessons from Bruce Lee The 3 laws that need to be invoked to really move the needle How to get yourself out of your business plateau The Power of Three A walkthrough of Marx’ day and the keys elements to starting off your morning right The $1,000 a day question we ask Putting Parkinson’s law into play as you work The three steps for delegation and which one to use when Really thinking about the love strategies for those close to you Dealing with more dangers and more opportunities ahead Resources From Marx Acosta-Rubio: You can reach out to Marx at: [email protected] References and Links Mentioned: Unreasonable Success by Richard Koch Getting Things Done by David Allen Wim Hof breathing method Are you ready to be EPIC with us?!

S1 Ep 342Rand Fishkin - Growing An Audience Without Facebook Or Google
We are hanging out with Rand Fishkin today, who previously co-founded the SEO company MOZ, and has most recently started a new venture with SparkToro. This tool is quickly becoming one of our favorite pieces of software to do a lot of research. It helps us figure out what content to create around specific topics, what topics resonate around audiences, and you can literally plug in your URL or social media channel and it will kick out all this research from a variety of platforms. If you are running ads, you are probably noticing lately higher costs, fewer options, and lower conversions. We break a lot of that down from Rand’s perspective and you’ll see why it’s important to diversify from Facebook and Google if you are solely relying on those platforms. You’ll also hear us talk about what’s in store for the future with the way Google presents search results, and what you should be doing to rely less on links while building up your brand. After you listen, get some more advertising tips with Curt Maly and Tom Breeze. “The primary goal is to get people to your website and your email list because that’s the one channel you always get to own and control.” - Rand Fishkin Some Topics We Discussed Include: Perspectives on the zero clicks search problem Checking out the Crack Shack (it’s not what you think!) How to get honed in on a specific audience that will convert better What do cookies and strange pajamas have to do with advertising? Why getting people to like and share should be your secondary goal From chicken sandwiches in your email to ground beef in your advertising to al dente pasta on Youtube, we got you covered!

S1 Ep 340Salome Schillack - Huge Audience Engagement Using Facebook Ads
Salome Schillack from ShineAndSucceed.com joins us today and today we are chatting all about using Facebook ads to not only grow an audience but to grow podcasts. We like her approach because it doesn’t take a huge budget to make it happen, and she gives some great targets and metrics to look out for with your campaign. Salome also talks about the concept of getting engagement and why you don’t need to run ads with a call to action every single time. Even with your existing audience, you probably don’t need to be running ads to constantly telling them to do something and screaming for their attention. We also talk about the top of funnel and we’ve never used ads in the flow that she talks about, but she broke down some cool things that we plan on testing. She also talks about the distinction between landing view pages and clicks. That’s why we love her approach which is to just give them something to love and/or laugh at. We also talk about front-loading your ad accounts in Facebook’s eye which ultimately leads to a better algorithm and lower ad costs in the end. When you are done, be sure to check out our chats with Ryan Levesque where he goes into depth about using quiz funnels for your Facebook ads and as well as our show with Curt Maly for more strategies on how to grow your brand without breaking the bank. “The first clue as to what is good engagement content is to look at what has done well on your social feeds, look at what people have already connected with, what’s gotten people to comment, share and what is already triggering an emotion for people.” - Salome Schillack Some Topics We Discussed Include: Who knew that Joey from Friends had a social media strategy? Facebook ad account secrets? Shhhhh What to do if you have no audience yet and want to run your first Facebook ad How to revive an older Facebook or Instagram account whose engagement has dropped How to use quizzes in your funnels Growing your podcast audience with Facebook ads The sweet spot for ad costs Examples of ad content to use for multiple purposes Facebook quizzes that are tanking?

We always love chatting with Pat Flynn, and in this episode, we discuss how to build super fans in your business, how to grow an audience ethically, how to promote affiliate offers to your audience and make good money through affiliate marketing in a very ethical way that makes customers actually thank you for doing it. Pat also discusses how he has been able to build a successful building with a great, appreciative audience without the need to run a ton of ads and self-admittedly not having the best SEO on his website as well. We also talk to Pat about how he got involved in some of the deals he has equity in. He’s not just an affiliate for products such as ConvertKit, Lead Pages, Teachable and Samcart, he’s also an advisor and gets some sort of revenue share. So we dive into how he has been able to leverage his podcast to then get involved in these equity and advisory deals. When you have listened, be sure to check out our previous chat with Pat and our conversation with Lisa Cherney for more insight on how to give insane value while being real to your audience. “With affiliate marketing, it’s the easiest way of starting to generate an income because these products already exist, people out there are already buying them, you just have to be the person that people trust to make that recommendation to them.” - Pat Flynn Some Topics We Discussed Include: “Fannels” and how to ramp yours up (and no, we are not talking about soft pajamas!) The amazing result you can get in under three years which will set you up for success How Pat pivoted during the last time we had an economic downturn which changed his life forever How to get great fan engagement and healthier all at once!

This episode is not just about the tool though, it’s all about the opportunities around you, how to do well as an affiliate, and other awesome concepts you will learn from Jordan Mederich, the man behind DropFunnels, one of the fastest-growing marketing tools on the market today. You’ll hear how he’s doing things differently and has carved his own way of solving a solution that no one else has done.

Besides talking about the tool’s features, we talk about affiliate marketing, trends in business, how to scale and do it in an effective way. After the show, make sure to listen to our previous episodes with Taylor Welch and Ryan Levesque, which will give you even more insight on mindset, and how to use funnels to grow your business and use entry-level products in your funnel to drive higher ticket sales. “I realized that anyone selling anything, it doesn’t matter if it’s your product or if it’s an affiliate product, often affiliates sell it better than the person itself.” - Jordan Mederich Some Topics We Discussed Include: Shooting green screen videos in a closet - can you relate?
