The Art Of Paid Traffic | Proven Online Advertising Strategies You Can Implement Today

On today’s show I want to talk to you about 3 Facebook Instagram ad mistakes I’ve been seeing lately that are keeping people from getting the results that they want from their ads. These concepts are going to be basic and fundamental in nature, but I find that it’s usually these types of things that are messing us up (and you’ll hear which of these mistakes I’ve been making lately as well).This episode was inspired by what I was saw at our first Accelerator Group Mastermind retreat here in San Diego earlier in the year. I saw that there was an opportunity for our members to make some changes to lower their cost per lead, and in one campaign, a member was able to do just that and lower her cost per lead from $40 to $5, in just a day! How did she do it? She was able to make this significant improvement in cost by implementing what I share on the podcast today, and I feel that you could improve your ad performance as well with a few of these simple tweaks and strategies. Before we start the show, I’ve got someth

Today’s guest is someone that I’ve looked to for mentorship, because he is literally one of my favorite people in the online business space. Casey Graham has started and sold three businesses, and he is now the founder and CEO of a company called Gravy. We started working with Gravy a few years back, and they are the leading experts in helping their clients recover failed payments for subscription-based businesses.Since starting Gravy, Casey and his team have learned a lot of lessons about business and customer psychology that he really opens up about here on this episode. Gravy is now viewed as the “Ritz Carlton of payment recovery”, and Casey does a great job explaining how they differ from collection agencies when I put him on the spot near the start of the interview by asking him that question.We cover a lot of different topics here, including one I’m really interested in right now, which is how we can learn to “turn the switch” off at the end of the day as busy entrepreneurs (and make the most of the tim

I’m honored to bring a regular listener of this podcast, Jose Quiroz, on to the show to share a cool case study of how he helped a client of his, and I know a lot of people will benefit from the lessons Jose learned from it and what he discusses in this episode. Jose helps established businesses take their products and service online, and profit from it, and in this episode you’ll hear how he did this with his client Rich, a local fitness trainer who wanted to take his business online after previously doing in-person training and workshops. Jose reveals how Rich went from having very little presence online to selling 25 spots in his 3-month online fitness program, all in matter of just a few weeks. Jose reveals the process, or “personalized road map” he gave Rich that made this possible, including how his client ultimately decided to deliver his course content to the participants. Like me, Jose knew he had a bigger calling to do more than he was doing in the corporate world. He also had a lot of doubts and fe

Today on the show I’m bringing back my friend Craig Ballantyne to share more about how he’s crushing it using Instagram for his business. Craig appeared on the podcast back in May last year, where he talked about how he used Instagram Stories to sell over $500,000 at that time in “high ticket” workshops, but you won’t believe the further growth and success he’s seen using the platform since then!As you’ll hear, Craig just started using Instagram in February 2017, and he says he really didn’t know what he was doing for the first month. In April 2017 he made his first $5,000 sale using Instragram, and he hasn’t stopped learning and refining his approach since that time, revealing many of his strategies he now uses in this episode.Craig reveals the single most important thing about Instagram “swipe ups”, as well as giving a call to action that will get your prospects to take action, while allowing you to stay in integrity and fully aligned with your message.He discusses how he qualifies the people who DM him on

With the exception of one episode about GDPR, we haven’t really covered any legal topics here on the podcast. Well, that’s about to change today, because I’m joined by Bobby Klinck, a student of mine who says he’s “not your typical lawyer!” Bobby has a law degree from Harvard and he now considers himself an entrepreneur first. He’s been in the online space for about 5 years now, beginning by using online marketing to build his own law firm and now focusing on helping online entrepreneurs spot potential issues in their own businesses. In this episode Bobby shares what the transition from practicing to what he’s doing now looked like, as well as some of the early struggles he had in his online business, including a failed launch where he spent $10,000 and made only one sale. Bobby says he really started getting traction last year when he began to really listen to and understand his clients, as well putting into practice what he has learned from this podcast. After starting by offering online courses related to

My guest today is Brandi Mowles, and she helps service-based entrepreneurs and businesses explode their growth by using Facebook ads and sales funnels. I originally recorded a strategy session with Brandi earlier this year that hadn’t yet aired, but after talking with Brandi at ConvertKit’s Craft + Commerce conference this month, I just knew I had to bring her back on to share what’s been happening in her business.In addition to being one of my students and a coach for my Impact group coaching program, Brandi has just launched her 12-month membership program for service-based entrepreneurs who want to scale to consistent 5-figure months, without hiring a team. You’re going to love her story of how she launched this program and the results she got from the beta launch to a relatively small list of a few hundred people. Brandi is a perfect example that you don’t need everything to be perfect, because she generated $4,000 on this launch before even going public with it!In this episode you’ll hear how Brandi firs

Why do so many entrepreneurs struggle with building a team? This is a topic that we haven’t talked a lot about on previous episodes of the podcast, but I’m going to be diving deep into it with my guest Theresa Loe today. Theresa helps online entrepreneurs find, grow and then lead their own stellar teams. She helps her clients streamline the backend of their businesses so that they actually have the time to work on the vision of the company, which is at the core of the problem for most business owners looking to grow their businesses. As you’ll hear, a lot of this comes back to us having to get past our fears around scaling and getting comfortable with being uncomfortable. The best part of all of this is that you don’t have to hire 10 full-time employees out the gate to help you, and you can absolutely do it in baby steps. You do have to get started with getting the support in you business though, because you really can’t do everything yourself. Although we covered so much in this conversation, there is still

Joining me today on the podcast is a return guest, Sarah Young. Sarah is the founder of BizTemplateBabe.com, where she creates DIY graphic design templates for online entrepreneurs, and she is actually a new member of my Accelerator mastermind group, starting this July. I asked Sarah to come back on the show because her business has really evolved over the past 14 months since she was last here. She’s now doing multiple 5-figures a month in her business, while only spending a couple of thousand dollars on Facebook and Instagram ads each month. As you’ll hear, it’s really just Sarah working in the business at this point in time, and she’s handling everything from the ads management to customer service. This has been a challenge and she talks about her plans to get support, as well more systems in place, to scale her business going forward. In this episode Sarah dives into how she’s built her business, from first launching on Etsy to validate the business to the mistakes she made getting while it off the ground

On last Wednesday’s episode I shared 7 key lessons that I’ve learned on my way to 7-figures, and as you heard, it took a lot more than just using Facebook and Instagram ad stories. When I was brainstorming ideas for that episode though I came up with four more “bonus” lessons, and I thought it would be a bit too much to cover them all at one time, which is why I’m sharing them with you today. The best part is that these lessons too are applicable to getting your business to 6-figures as well as 7-figures, if you’re at the point in your business where you’re trying to do that. On the Show Today You’ll Learn: The 7 key lessons from last week’s episode. How I learned that less really is more for your online business. Why you should validate, then create, your online course and how I successfully launched my very first course using this method. That building your “dream team” does not have to be a daunting task. Why it’s not just ok to reinvent yourself, and sometimes it’s essential to do this. Later this week I’

When I start talking about the different elements it takes to build a successful online business, other than using Facebook and Instagram ad strategies, I often get puzzled looks. I may be known for teaching how to successfully use ads to grow an online business and impact more people, but it took way more than just this for me to grow a thriving 7-figure business in less than 4 years. On today’s episode I’ll be going into what it took, including things like building a team, positioning myself as an expert, creating and launching courses, memberships and in-person events, and a whole lot more. I’ll be looking at the mindset shifts I had to master, and essentially what it’s taken for me to become the actual CEO of my business.To create sustainable growth, it takes a more holistic strategy than most experts are using today. Yes, ads are important, but they’re really just one piece of the puzzle needed to get to that next level.So today I’m going to be sharing 7 key lessons that I’ve learned on the way to 7-figu
