In this episode, we discuss our most effective method for product launches: challenges. Challenges are flexible, modular and can be live or evergreen. They give small, quick wins that build excitement and show people what’s really possible for them. As people experience wins, they build trust in you. In a short time, you can position yourself as an expert and build rapport to lead people to your paid offers.The keys to an effective challenge launch are to keep it simple and don’t overwhelm people with too many steps. Simple wins build momentum and keep people engaged.This will prime your audience for the next logical step, your offer.Resources:Challenge Launch Challenge - We’ll pull back the curtain and show you exactly what we've been doing the past couple of years with Challenges & Launches and led us to make a million dollars this year!Adaptive Inner Circle - The Adaptive Inner Circle is an epic 12-month experience for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners who aspire to create financial freedom and a lifestyle they want for themselves and their family and also create a positive impact in their community and the world.Adaptive Marketing Program - The Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Facebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

 In this episode of our Mastermind Series, we are discussing how to maximize the use of freebies, how to avoid creating a list of people that only want your giveaways and how to find the right strategy that specifically works for your audience. Many people view freebies through a negative lens. It’s a polarizing issue with strong opinions for and against giving something away for free. But the truth is that there is not just ONE way to it.  Blindly following one single strategy or one single template, can easily lead to disappointment. Because what works for your followers might be very different than what the internet marketing industry is telling you. If used correctly, freebies can be an efficient tool to establish your social proof, build long-term relationships and create future needs that will convert your followers into buying customers.Resources:Adaptive Inner Circle - Adaptive Inner Circle is an epic 12-month experience for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners who aspire to create financial freedom and a lifestyle they want for themselves and their family and also create a positive impact in their community and the world.Adaptive Marketing Program -  Adaptive Marketing program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram:@realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittMentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

Now a lot of people look at Melissa and I's successes, they see the multiple offers that we do, they see all the things and it's very common that people come up to us. And they're like, oh, we want to do you have multiple memberships, you have a bunch of offers and things and what they don't realize it's taken us many years to get here.We actually only put one offer at a time in the marketplace. We tweaked it, we tested it, we got it down to the point that allowed us to freedom in the time and energy and space to then create the next logical step for the next offer.If you just compare and look over at our entire frontal system, you would in a blink go, ”oh, I need to do all of that”.And it's like, no, we didn't just do all of that. Give yourself some grace. You're not racing anyone else. You're on your own race. You're on your own journey.

With marketing, one of the ways that you can get back the expenses that you've paid into, some of your paid advertising to acquire clients, is to have a lot of smaller products to offer your audience as a way to work with them but also, it's going to recoup that cost. When you're thinking about ways to create small offers and ways to work with your audience, think about the pain points that they have. What is one small thing that you can solve for them with an offer?-        Maybe it's an e-book that's going to explain the process that you do.-        Maybe it's a tutorial of you showing a step-by-step process.A lot of times we over-complicate our offers and thinking that has to be this major, big thing and of course as entrepreneurs and online business owners, a lot of us have those signature programs. But keep in mind there are a lot of opportunities to work with our audiences with smaller offers, offers that are very specific and are going to solve a specific problem for them. What are some different ways that you can work with your audience with smaller offers?Resources:Adaptive Inner Circle - Adaptive Inner Circle is an epic 12-month experience for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners who aspire to create financial freedom and a lifestyle they want for themselves and their family and also create a positive impact in their community and the world.Adaptive Marketing Program -  Adaptive Marketing program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram:@realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

The “Like” factor is something that often gets overlooked by online entrepreneurs.While they are focused on delivering value, their audience is left with only tiny bits of their personality that they can piece together to figure out who the person behind the offer really is.But ultimately, people hit buy because they like a person.In this episode, we are talking with Mariana Henniger, EMMY-winning documentary filmmaker and emotion-driven brand video creator for online business owners, about microdosing your audience with your personality, the benefits of beta launches and the importance of getting out of the student mode and just putting your offer out there.Mariana Henniger is an EMMY-winning documentary filmmaker who helps online business owners build trust faster and sell more quickly with a beautiful, emotion-driven Brand Video.As a journalist and documentary filmmaker, she published stories in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, TIME Magazine, Washington Post and many others - traveled the world and reported from 4 continents, and countries like Afghanistan, Haiti and Israel.Resources:FREE 20-MINUTE BRAND VIDEO STARTER GUIDE - How To Create One Simple Video That Can Dramatically Increase Your Sales, Even If You Don’t Think You Have A “Compelling” Story!Adaptive Inner Circle - Adaptive Inner Circle is an epic 12-month experience for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners who aspire to create financial freedom and a lifestyle they want for themselves and their family and also create a positive impact in their community and the world.Adaptive Marketing Program -  Adaptive Marketing program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with MarianaInstagram: http://instagram.com/brandmagneticFacebook: http://facebook.com/marianaLinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/marianahenninger/Connect with us on social!Instagram:@realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

Get paid to build your email list.When we go and acquire something, when we consume something, we're expected to pay, right?But here in the internet marketing space, a lot of people get tripped up on what's sold on to them and that's build a list, build a list, build a list, nurture, nurture, nurture, because that builds the vanity metric.That's something that's measurable for a lot of influencers out there to get you to do. And I'm going to tell you at the end of the day, most of your clientele most likely is not in this internet marketing bubble, they're not conditioned this way. You have the opportunity to get paid as you build your email list. After all, this is what happens in the real world. You get contact information from people that are buyers, not people that are freebie seekers. So whenever you're doing your opt ins, whenever you're doing those initial offers, you could have different types of offers that you do that will allow the person to pull their wallet out in advance, sooner in the relationship versus way later in the relationship. Now, what that will allow you to do is then you're going to be able to pre finance your list building because as you spend money to get new eyeballs on your offers, on your things, you are then able to sell a different type of offer, typically a smaller promise, a smaller offer initially compared to your big offer, your big course, coaching, program, membership that you have the different offers that we all have in the backarsenal.And while that happens you will actually, as your email list grows, the money will be coming back in, the money will be coming back in, you'll be able to reinvest it. It's like having an ATM machine versus a slot machine when it comes to doing your ads.I want you to keep in mind that you can look at your funnel differently.You can look at your marketing strategy completely differently, if you change your mindset and start thinking more and ask yourself the question, “how can I get paid sooner? How can I get paid to build my email list?”Resources:Adaptive Inner Circle - Adaptive Inner Circle is an epic 12-month experience for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners who aspire to create financial freedom and a lifestyle they want for themselves and their family and also create a positive impact in their community and the world.Adaptive Marketing Program -  Adaptive Marketing program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram:@realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

Building your list starts with the first subscriber.That’s right, you don't have to have the big list from the get-go, you can get there gradually. And what's more important is that you're building your list with the right people. So, take your time building your list. Think of the right people that you want to connect with and make those connections to build your list, slowly and steadily, and with the right people.Remember, it all starts with that first person and then from there, slowly and steadily grow that list of the right people that are interested in what you do, are interested in the programs that you offer and interested in the transformation that you're promising. Have you started building your list?Resources:Adaptive Inner Circle - Adaptive Inner Circle is an epic 12-month experience for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners who aspire to create financial freedom and a lifestyle they want for themselves and their family and also create a positive impact in their community and the world.Adaptive Marketing Program -  Adaptive Marketing program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram:@realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

Here’s something I want you to remember...Not all leads are created equal. Not all leads are hot prospects! Depending on what you put out into the world, that will determine who you're attracting in. Not everybody that you attract in is a ready, willing and able buyer. We need to be careful of this when we are creating our lists. What you want to do is actually be very selective. It’s better to have a smaller list than a huge list that has a whole bunch of junk in it.So, when you put some goodness out into the world, make sure your messaging is on point, make sure that you're attracting the people you want to attract, and make sure you're building an audience that has the right people in it.Are you building a list of the right people?Resources:Adaptive Inner Circle - Adaptive Inner Circle is an epic 12-month experience for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners who aspire to create financial freedom and a lifestyle they want for themselves and their family and also create a positive impact in their community and the world.Adaptive Marketing Program -  Adaptive Marketing program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram:@realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

When it comes to list building, give yourself some grace, give yourself some time and give yourself permission to test things out.A lot of times we compare ourselves to other people, we see them with big vanity metrics, and we start getting into our own heads thinking we need that too. But here’s the thing, it’s better to have quality people on our list, to begin with than a big, huge number of unqualified people.We really need to take the time to tune in our messaging, tune in our offers, and make sure we're in front of the right people, because if we get a big vanity metric and attract all the wrong people into our world, what good is it anyway?Give yourself the time and space to build the right foundation.Resources:Adaptive Inner Circle - Adaptive Inner Circle is an epic 12-month experience for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners who aspire to create financial freedom and a lifestyle they want for themselves and their family and also create a positive impact in their community and the world.Adaptive Marketing Program -  Adaptive Marketing program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram:@realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

A launch has a lot of moving parts, and a lot of different things are happening all at one time.It's very easy to get overwhelmed and forget how things were happening at each phase of your launch.So, don't forget to do a launch debrief every time you launch.It allows you to really reflect on how your launch went from start to finish.Not just the period of the launch itself but everything that led up to it.A debrief will help you to really evaluate if everything that you did for that launch made sense.If it resonated with your audience if it was something that you would do again or do differently.ResourcesAdaptive Inner Circle - The Inner Circle with Paul & Melissa Pruitt is an epic 12-month experience for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners who aspire to create financial freedom and a lifestyle they want for themselves and their family and also create a positive impact in their community and the world.Adaptive Marketing Program - The Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram:@realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

Your launch content is the bridge between whatever you've done to bring the people into your launch, from lead magnets to your social media, and your offer.  Guide our people from why they are actually showing up for the launch to the transformation that you are promising in your offer. It’s about creating the opportunity of seeing what is possible, that they can themselves do this.It's dealing with limiting beliefs and handling objections.Hitting different mental triggers along the way to get your audience excited, anticipating, and desiring your offer.And finally, make them take action so they can have that transformation that they’re seeking.ResourcesAdaptive Inner Circle - The Inner Circle with Paul & Melissa Pruitt is an epic 12-month experience for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners who aspire to create financial freedom and a lifestyle they want for themselves and their family and also create a positive impact in their community and the world.Adaptive Marketing Program - The Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram:@realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

The common mistake that people go through when launching is to over-deliver. They get really excited and want to give value.So they give their audience everything that they got.They overwhelm their audience with so much information that they are probably not ready to make that buying decision. They’ll say: “You gave me so much to think about. I'm gonna work on this first before they go into your paid offer.”So, deliver value to your audience and focus on what things they need to be aware of that's gonna help them with solving their problem.But save the “How” to solve that problem for the paid offer. Give your audience a great launch experience, but not give away everything.

Launches can be a lot of work. They add pressure to our lives and to everything else that we're doing in our business already.There are a lot of moving parts to it which can take a lot of mental energy. So just give yourself some grace during this timeframe that you don't have to have it all figured out.And leave some space because most things take longer than you think it's going to take.ResourcesAdaptive Inner Circle - The Inner Circle with Paul & Melissa Pruitt is an epic 12-month experience for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners who aspire to create financial freedom and a lifestyle they want for themselves and their family and also create a positive impact in their community and the world.Adaptive Marketing Program - The Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram:@realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

As experts, we live with whatever our service is every day. It's nearly a hundred percent of what we're thinking about for our business. But the people that we're talking to, it might be a fraction of 1% or even less of what they were even thinking about in their daily life today.So what we need to do is create a runway of awareness. We need to create desire, curiosity, and excitement. We need to get into the conversations that people are already having so that we can create the connection ahead of time and can guide people into that buying decision.In order to do that, we need to have a runway.ResourcesAdaptive Inner Circle - The Inner Circle with Paul & Melissa Pruitt is an epic 12-month experience for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners who aspire to create financial freedom and a lifestyle they want for themselves and their family and also create a positive impact in their community and the world.Adaptive Marketing Program - The Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram:@realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

We recently recorded an exclusive training with our mentor and friend, Jeff Walker. We were able to ask questions about launching when someone has virtually zero people in their following or on their list.  His insight on this is priceless.In this episode, Jeff is sharing how he started with an email list of 19 people without marketing-, sales-, or entrepreneurial experience, to influence billions all around the world. We're also talking about different ways to build a list, the role of AI in launching and building your business, and the evolution of his product launch formula based on common mental triggers, sequences from the pre-launch to open-cart phase (which has become a significant part of the content delivery in recent years), and creating a captivating story arc with your content throughout your launch, getting your audience to believe that the transformation you are offering is possible for them and naturally lead them toward the sale.Jeff Walker is the creator of the Product Launch Formula... the step-by-step process that has generated over a BILLION dollars in online launches. Jeff teaches people how to launch online courses, products, services, and brands online, and his formula has literally changed the way things are sold online.Jeff started his first online business in 1996, and he pioneered the very idea of the online launch. His "Product Launch Formula” transformed the online marketing world from the day it was released in 2005... and Jeff and PLF have never slowed down. Now all these years later, the Product Launch Formula brand is the gold standard in the online entrepreneurial training market. Jeff’s students have done over a BILLION dollars in launches in hundreds of niches and markets... and in dozens of countries around the world. ResourcesPre-Launch Masterclass with Jeff Walker -  a free training Launch Masterclass that you don't want to miss! Adaptive Inner Circle - The Inner Circle with Paul & Melissa Pruitt is an epic 12-month experience for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners who aspire to create financial freedom and a lifestyle they want for themselves and their family and also create a positive impact in their community and the world.Adaptive Marketing Program - The Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram:@realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

In this episode, we are talking with Kate Bee, a CBT practitioner, certified life coach, blogger, and founder of The Sober School about how she leaned into building a community and her email list when she was a starting entrepreneur which led her to influence 34, 000 people.Through her online courses and in-person retreats, Kate has transformed people’s, especially women’s, relationship with alcohol and taught them how to quit alcoholism and start sobriety in an empowering way. Kate is also sharing her thoughts on the importance of owning your own email list versus relying too much on social media platforms that can come and go over the years and how having a team helped her to reach more people and create a sustainable business.ResourcesWine O'Clock Survival Guide - Fed up of feeling hungover?

Stop trying to get all the things perfect before you launch. I'm giving you permission to launch imperfectly. Because in order to have that advanced version of your course or your offer, we need to put the version one into the marketplace. We don't need it to be perfect. We can get market & consumer feedback, that essential feedback loop that will help us to iterate, change, pivot and grow. So don’t let perfectionism stop you from launching.Pick a launch date, carve out the journey ahead of you and get ready to launch!
