Mastering Copywriting and Funnels

Hi guys. Welcome to copy that. The only show where  you have real copywriters working in the world,   drinking coffee, talking about copy. Cheers  guys. Today we have somebody who's well known   on the discords and well known on the  Reddits. A man who needs no introduction,   but I will introduce him anyway, Jonathan, I,  I'm not even gonna try to pronounce your, your,   your full, last name. I'm just gonna  say bus song. Jonathan had a funnel   masterclass last Friday. He knocked it outta the  park. It was great content. And I thought, wow,   like what an, an excellent opportunity to hear,  not only somebody who instead of rod Luke, or I   actually prepared and came ready to talk about  stuff rather than just riffing and doing it   extemporaneously. He also knows this stuff. So  it's like the best of both worlds where you have   the structure and not the disorganized banter  that this show normally is. But you also have   value. One thing that I've learned  in working with not only newbies and   juniors, is that there's a common lack of  understanding about when they type of the words,   where do the words live? The answer to that.  It goes into the funnel. What is the funnel?   I'll let John take that away. Just like he said, there's a very big disconnect.   Oftentimes between someone who identifies just  as a copywriter and then the greater marketing   strategy, right? Because copy doesn't live  in isolation. There are different pieces to   your campaign, to your strategy that we call the  funnel. The funnel is really just the overarching   term of everything. Once you put it together.  So the traditional copy mediums that you'll see,   usually you'll write for Google ads or you'll  write for Facebook and Instagram will write for   YouTube. That's at the front part of the  funnel. And then you have landing pages,   sales pages in the middle, and you have emails  that'll happen on the back end after you opt in   or to drive you back to another sale. So we're  gonna look at all of those pieces together.   We're gonna see how it all connects. And  hopefully by the end of this, you'll come   away with an understanding of how, how your copy  is actually generating money for your clients,   how you can make your copy more effective based on  the objective that it has within the funnel.   And also how you can maybe take yourself away  from the copywriting, move more into a higher   role of marketing consulting or strategy and  get paid bigger bucks so that you can bring this   immense amount of value to your clients, have an  advantage over other copywriters because you know,   all this stuff that they don't and at the end  of the day, get better results, which is what   we're all in the game of as is tradition with any  kind of masterclass or webinar. I'll start with a   little bit of who is Jonathan and why the heck  should he listen to him? So I'm the one on the   right, not the one on the left. I've always been  really into communications, really into writing.   And it kind of just stumbled into copywriting  by accident. I figured out what it was. One of   my buddies wanted to start a social media  marketing agency when that was hot.   And he wanted me to do the sales and the  cop. He would do the technical stuff.   We signed some clients. He decided it was too  much work. So he dropped out, but I was hooked,   kept going with, uh, copywriting, developing,  discovering the world of funnels. Thankfully, I   discovered what funnels are and greater strategy  was when I was just starting off. So that really   gave me an advantage. And then I progressed  learning email else, landing pages, sales,   pages, ads, all that stuff. At this point in  my life, I've been featured in the media for   the results that I'm able to bring my clients.  I have gotten Upwork contracts in the tens of   thousands of dollars. I'm signing contracts  from content marketing, from LinkedIn direct   outreach from emails, right? I'm making a lot  of money doing this. I'm very good at what I do.   And what's more important to me than  just making money for myself is obviously   making money for my clients, right? So here you can see, this is an e-com client   with whom my ads were able to bring in 15  point $87,000 in just three days, right?   This is a Monday to Tuesday, Wednesday, which is  crazy. And then I had a funnel that brought in   $145,000 in just 24 hours. So I know a little  bit about what I'm talking about, which is why   Sean brought me on. We'll get into all the stats.  We'll get into how this all applies to you and   how you can do the same thing as we move through  this. My goal for you today, who is watching this,   I really want to help you a fundamental  understanding of what is a funnel and how   does your copy play into it? Because if you're  getting to this point in your career where either   you're just starting off and you have no idea what  a funnel is, or you've written a few sales pages,   but you're not too sure how it all interacts  from the point of the ads to the sale,   or maybe you're more advanced in your you're  just looking to get a little bit more knowledge,   broaden your horizons a little bit, get to that  place where you can do more consulting work.   If you've gotten to this point and you still  aren't 100% confident. It's not your fault   because this stuff does get very, very,  very complicated, right? There are a lot   of moving pieces at play and the people who  try to sell you this kind of information,   oftentimes they'll make it even more complicated  than it has to be because they're trying to bring   you into their sphere of influence, right? They're  trying to convince you that they have the answers   by their next product, by their next product,  by their next product. And so they don't always   break it down as simply as they could. My goal  today is to give you the most basic framework or   understanding what a funnel is, the different  types of funnels and how you can use this   information to your advantage. But I need to add  in that this is not going to be the last training   that you ever need when it comes to funnels. Okay? Because I can't cover absolutely everything   you need to know. Just like if you were  going to a copywriting master class,   or if you were going to a copywriting seminar,  you couldn't learn everything there is to know   about copywriting in just the hour, two hours,  three hours that you would be there. Instead,   I wanna provide the groundwork for you so that you  can know how to the good resources and how to stay   away from the bad resources. And you can continue  to work every day to improve your craft. And I'm   also going to give you, if you stick around to  the end, a list of resources, books, programs,   and software that are gonna help you out to  continue your education when it comes to funnels.   And like I mentioned earlier, this really  is, once you get to a point of proficiency,   this is going to be your unfair advantage over  other copywriters, because you're gonna have an   understanding that they don't, you're not  just gonna come into a client anymore and say,   I can write your sales page,  give me a thousand dollars.   And here's your sales page, right? Instead,  the client's gonna tell you what their idea is,   and you'll be able, able to assess, is this a good  idea? Is this not? Is this a good opportunity for   me? Is this not? Is this a good opportunity for  the client? Is it not? How can I build upon what   they're already asking me to do, to bring  more value to them, to get paid more money,   to get them better results, and then cascade  that into better testimonials, better reviews,   future projects, and that's how your career is  going to take off. So what we're gonna touch upon   today, as we move through the presentation, we're  gonna discover what a funnel is, how it works,   and the most effective types of funnels across  every major industry. You're gonna learn the   terminology. You need to know if you want your  prospects to trust you when pitch them.   And if you master this, you'll be able to upsell  one time projects into massive campaigns and   retainers, which is my strategy. And that's  how I'm closing all of these five figure deals   on Upwork. You're gonna learn the three most  important factors to consider when building a   funnel. And if you miss any of these, your funnels  are gonna bomb. We're also gonna learn how to   diagnose, optimize, and scale your funnels. So you  can achieve maximum profitability. And there are   really just a few small tweaks that you can make  to make this happen. Super easy, super simple.   You'll see when we get there, I'm gonna show you  five email sequences that you're gonna use in your   career as a copywriter and how they can play into  your funnels. So I'll just touch on the names,   give you a briefing explanation. And then after  we'll come back to them for the post check,   John, you're better at pitching  the Patreon than I am.   I'm gonna show you as well, how to add massive  value with a sneaky trick for boosting webinar   show up and conversions that your clients probably  won't think about on their own. So when you   bring this to them, they're gonna your genius.  And they're gonna pay you the big bucks. Plus,   like I mentioned, I'm gonna give you the top  resources so you can continue your marketing   education and become a true expert who demands  top dollar from your clients. So we'll start   with a little bit of an overview for phones  and I want to get into before anything else,   the critical terminology. These are the words  that your prospect is probably already gonna know,   and that you need to know to at  least be on the same level as them.   And when you start working with other copywriters,  when you start working with other marketers,   these are the words that we all use so that we  can communicate with each other properly.   And we know exactly what we mean. So this for  one learning, the CRI terminology for me was   one of the most helpful things in the world,  because then I can ask for specific help. I can   get specific suggestions and I can be very, very  precise when I'm explaining things to my clients.   So the first word you need to know is traffic  and traffic, basically very, very simple is   just clicks to your landing page. So traffic  is when you get eyeballs on your sales message   and your traffic can come in one of two  ways, you can either have organic traffic   or you can have paved traffic, organic traffic  is traffic. You don't pay for. So you can have,   um, let's say your audience on Instagram, that's  organic traffic because you didn't pay to collect   those followers. But if you post something and you  say, Hey guys, go check out my new product.   Some of those people will move onto your landing  page or your sales page. And that happened without   you having to spend a single dollar to make it  happen, right? So that's organic traffic, any   kind of content marketing, anything where you're  not paying to move those people to your page. The   second kind of traffic is paid traffic. And that's  what you're more familiar with. This is ads like   on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Google search  display. That's when you doing what we call CPM   like cost for thousand views. So I'm going to pay  for 1000 people to see my ad. A certain percentage   of those people are going to click through to my  landing page. That is my traffic. So the three   main types of traffic or the three main types of  paid traffic that you're gonna be working with as   a copywriter are our Facebook and Instagram. Number one, I put these two together because it's   the same advertising platform. So what you're  going to do when you're writing Facebook and   Instagram ads usually is what we call a feed  ad. So that's what you're used to seeing,   like, uh, what I've got up here in the  photo. You're gonna have your body copy   a creative, which will either be an image or a  video. And then underneath at the bottom, you'll   see that you have your headline. And on the right  side, you have your call to action button. So   if you go on Facebook right now, your first post  is gonna be something like that. You follow. And   your second post is going to be one of these  ads in e-commerce. These are usually short   for info products. These are usually longer,  but the point of these is to create curiosity   around the product or the offer in order to  get you to click onto the landing page.   The next type of traffic we have is from YouTube.  And these, the most common ones are instream.   Instream ads are the ones that you see either  during the videos or before the videos you're   watching. And that's where this one, the example  here is, uh, software. I think it's monday.com.   So it's really just like product demonstration  benefits. If you're seeing info products,   it's usually going to be, Hey, here's your biggest  problem. I'm gonna show you how to solve it. Go   through to my webinar. If you're doing e-commerce,  it's usually something more branding focused,   or maybe sometimes you get Harmon brother  style ads where it's like, oh my God,   this is so crazy. So funny. Let me click through  the third type of traffic is display and search.   You'll see, on the left side, we have an example  of display at the top, the one that's labeled   Gundry MD with the BA all of supplements. So a display ad is any website that has a   Google ad network association to it. They're gonna  say, okay, Google, I give you permission to show   ads on my website. And then Google's going to  determine based on who you are, which ads they   wanna show you. So if I'm running ads to you,  for example, for this masterclass, I could say   because Sean went on my website, show him ads to  this masterclass, and then Google's gonna follow   Sean around. And when Sean gets on a website that  has the Google display possibility, they're gonna   throw up my face with, Hey, come check out the  masterclass on the right side here, you'll see   the final type of traffic that we have. This is  search. So search traffic is or search ads. That's   when you Google something and then Google's going  to serve you the ad based on your keywords.   So here I threw up, um, how to make money  online. And you'll see that these three ads   are all things that could make me money online. So  first one is start a small business. Second one is   paid surveys. Third one is we need writers  30 to $45 a network. So these people aren't   tracking me. These people are just saying anyone  who types in the words, show them these ads. So   I wrote make money online. And these three ads  came up probably because they're targeting how   to make money online for their keywords. Second  key terminology that you need to know is list   list is essentially just the contact information  that you've collected from your buyers and your   prospects. So if somebody comes to an opt-in page,  they put in their name, they put in their email,   they put in their phone number. That's gonna go  into a CRM, a customer relationship manager.   And from that place, then I'm going to have you on  my list. So the list is just people who I can send   my offers to. It can be very literal about it,  and either have it be the physical mailing list,   like people who I send letters to, or my email  list, who I'm gonna send emails to, or we can   take a step back and maybe think that the list  is just any who's contact information. I have.   Maybe that's also all my friends on Facebook.  Maybe that's also all the people in my LinkedIn   group. Maybe that's my discord, right? Maybe  that's the people who are following on Instagram.   The list is really just anybody who I can  show my offer to. And so when you take that   step back and you look at it more from 30,000  feet, then you start to realize that there's a   lot more opportunity because your list is more  than just the people on your email list.   Although that's extremely valuable. And we'll  touch on that when we get to the emails later,   the next phrase that you probably have  heard thrown around a ton is landing page   and landing page is one that's a little bit  confusing because people use it to mean a lot   of stuff. One of the biggest questions I hear  all the time is what's the difference between   a landing page and a sales page. And it's like  square rectangle, right? A landing page can be   a sales page. A sales page is always a landing  page. So let me explain what I mean by that.   A landing page is real just anywhere that your  traffic is going period. So it could be content.   It could be a squeeze page, or it could be a  sales page content. It can be written content   like a blog. It could be an advert where I have  a call to action and a little bit of value.   It could be a podcast replay. It could be my  YouTube video landing page with content is   really just anything that I'm trying to take you  and show you more value. So if I wanted to run ads   to this masterclass, like a recording of this  masterclass, and I said, Hey, become familiar   with my brand. Go watch my masterclass. Then  the only point of me doing this is to get you   to experience my brand and to get value so I  can build good to will. Right? So content isn't   always trying to make a sale content is trying  to build the relationship. That's step one.   Then if we get into squeeze pages, that's where  I'm trying to now collect your information so that   I can put you on my list. So a squeeze page is  any page that you've ever been to like a webinar   registration or free ebook or anything. That's asking you for your contact information   where I say, okay, Sean, give me your name,  give me your email, maybe also your phone number   in exchange. I'm going to give you this  piece of value. So there's an exchange there,   which is why it's different from the content where  there is no exchange and I'm just giving the value   up front. Finally, we have the sales page and the  sales page is where I'm actually trying to make   the sale. So the sales page can be for anything  from a dollar all the way up to 5,000, 10,000,   $15,000. It doesn't matter. Sales page just means  a landing page where there's going to be money.   Squeeze page is a landing page where there's  going to be contact information exchanged,   and content is a landing page where there's only  going to be value and then maybe a call to action,   but not directly on the page. I'm gonna send you somewhere else.   So I can send you from a content page to a squeeze  page or from a content page to a sales page.   But the content itself is really just relationship  and value. Next, we have a concept of upsell   down sales and cross. I won't get into the  specifics of the difference between each,   but it's really just selling your buyers more  stuff while they're still hot. So if Luke comes   in and he buys a book from me, I can try to sell  him an even more expensive book. That's an upsell,   or I can say, Hey Luke, did you like that book?  Let me also sell you. Uh, let me sell you a two   minute interview with me with Sean. And it's gonna  cost you like a dollar that would be a down sell,   cross sell. Hey Luke, you like this book? Why  don't you buy this other book? That's kind of   like complimentary to this around the same  price, right? So upsell down, sell, cross,   sell. That's just selling more stuff. While Luke  is still ready to make purchases because when   somebody buys the brain lights up and they're  like, wow, I love spending money on things.   And they're more likely to continue  spending more money on stuff.   One other purpose for cross sell is you're  literally trying to cross pollinate different   lists. So it's less about like one company  selling two different kinds of books. It's like,   say you sell a book and then you say, Hey, if you  read this book about expanding your brain, you   might also like our sister company, which sells  new tropics. Here's a bunch of pills if they buy   that. Well, now they're on that list too. And so  that's the reason why you wanna do cross the,   The companies you work with and the clients you  work with may not always have that. That's a very   sophisticated strategy. So if you're working with  like a, a Agora or new market health or something,   that is a big organization that has multiple  brands under them 100%, but don't expect your   clients to have this set up because they probably  won't on a Agora though. A really great concept   that, uh, Sean talks about a lot. And I'm sure  he's spoken about this in the past, on the copy of   that show is the idea of front end versus backend.  So I'm gonna throw the mic over to Sean and ask   if he can in just 30 or 45 seconds, explain the  difference between a front end and a backend.   Um, yeah, front end marketing. Just, all it means  is that you are a quiet hiring a new customer.   It is the on the front end, the face of your  business, you are trying to put out an offer that   brings a new customer into your business, puts  them into the funnel as it were a backend offer   is any offer that monetizes existing customers.  Normally these are more expensive for reasons.   Most of them having to do with economics. What you  do is you use a front end offer to bring on a paid   customer. Lead gen brings on a free customer,  backend monetizes, the people that are on your   list, whether they're free or paid, that's it. You should be doing this masterclass.   I wouldn't be able to like, take a break  and like just chill, like just kick   Back, Enjoy my life.   Well, you do All this work.   There are five main terms that you need  to know. One is traffic. So eyeballs two,   your landing page two is list. So any conglomerate  of information that you have, where you have   contact information for the people who you  want to sell to number three is landing pages,   and that can be content, squeeze pages or sales  pages. Four is upsells down sales and cross sales,   selling more stuff to people who just bought  some stuff. And then front end and backend   where front end is trying to get people on your  list. And then backend is monetizing the names   that you've already collected. One of the reasons why I think this   particular presentation that you gave is  so valuable is because there is a lot of   like in club jargon that we share with each other.  And once you learn the jar AR it's like, oh, well,   that's what that is. But for somebody just  starting out, a lot of this just sounds like a   foreign language and a lot of these distinctions,  like landing page versus sales page, like you   don't understand that distinction. You think  it's like a hard and fast, clear delineation when   more often than not with marketing, it's like a  very blunt tool, like a very loose description,   a like what we're talking about. And  like, it doesn't make any sense to like,   this is what this is. It's like, okay. Like the  reason these words exist is for utility.   I think that's a really good note as someone who's  a little bit newer to this, but when you first   start hearing these terms and trying to integrate  them into your knowledge and the way in which you   talk to people, it feels really overwhelming  because they seem to carry so much weight.   But really the most important thing is just  understanding how they're used and then knowing   how to use them in your conversations with  clients or whoever else you're talking to,   to signal that you understand where they are.  It's not that you have to use them perfectly   every single time, but it's about communicating  to whoever you're talking to, that you understand   their perspective and where they're  coming from so that they have more   trust in you to build that relationship. When you're sitting down with your client for   the first time, and you guys are talking about  traffic, which we'll get into in just one sec,   it's always very, very important for  you to ask them, where is your traffic   coming from? So next we're going to go into,  what are the most important things to consider   when you are building a funnel? How can you  collect information about a list, for example,   who's clicked on what and what they've Googled.  Do you pay to find this stuff? No, actually, so   Google and Facebook, they want your money. So  they give you all this information for free.   If I'm running a YouTube, a I can say, show my  YouTube a to men between 35 and 45, who live in   the continental United States. That's one level  of screening. And then I can also say, and only   show this ad to those people in front of videos  that are about how to build money online.   And I want to do video one video, two video, three  video, four, video five. And then I can also say,   and only show it to those people in front of these  videos. If they've been on these websites and   Google has all that information. So Google wants  you to succeed because of the more you succeed,   the more money you're going to spend. So you  get access to all of this data. You don't see   the data, but you tell the algorithm what to do,  and then the algorithm's gonna make it happen.   So that's how these traffic networks work. I use  a software called Kartra for my funnels. And just   like Sean is explaining, I'm gonna be able to  track every single action that a person takes   within my funnel from that software. So I'll be  able to see if I have Sean's name in his email,   which one of my emails did he open? Which ones did he click on? Which one of   my web pages did he visit? How long did he watch  each of my videos? What are the actions he took   after watching the videos? What was the sequence  of things that he did leading up to a purchase?   What's the frequency of visits that he's doing  to my website. There's so much data that's   collected inside of my CRM. Yeah. So now let's  get into the most important things to consider.   When you are building a loan, number one is your  list. So your list is going to be worth 41% of   your results. I say that because is the three  factors here are gonna be your list, your offer,   and your creative. If you have a perfect offer  and you have perfect copy and perfect images,   you still won't be able to sell it. If  you're trying to sell it to the wrong people,   no matter how good the copy is, no matter how  good everything around that campaign is.   If you're showing the offer a copy to the wrong  people, nobody's going to buy it. So that's why   your list is the single most important thing. When  it comes to making a sale, you need to be showing   your stuff to somebody who's actually in your  target market, who there is a chance that they   will buy this, your list super, super important.  And to close the loop on a question that I said   earlier, which was asking your client, where  is your traffic coming from? This is important   because if you know that, then you know the  intention of the people as they land on your copy,   because traffic that's coming from a Google ad or  from a Facebook ad or from a YouTube ad, is going   to be very different from traffic. That's coming  from an, this, the email list. If Sean McIntyre   emails me once a week, and then he says,  Hey, by the way, go check out this ebook.   I'm gonna be like, yeah, I love Sean. I'm gonna go  opt in for the ebook, because I know that there's   valuable content there already. I know what  kind of stuff he has to stay. And I know that   I like his stuff. So he is gonna have a very,  very high conversion rate. And I've already got   a relationship with him. So the copy on the page  is going to be very different from if I'm taking   Luke, let's say, and Luke, who's never heard of  Sean McIntyre and say, Hey, Luke, come download   this book. Luke's gonna be like, okay, first of  all, what's the book. Who's the guy who wrote it.   Why should I trust him? Why is this important to  me? He's gonna have a lot more questions that need   to be answered within the copy. Whereas if you  send it to me, I'm gonna say, I love Sean.   I love his stuff. Of course, I'm gonna download  it. So when you ask your client, where is your   traffic coming from? If their marketing is savvy,  they're gonna know that, you know what you're   talking about and you know what you're doing,  because this is a very, very critical part. You,   how you write your copy. Next, we're gonna look  at the offer. The offer is worth 39% of your whole   campaign. And the offer is very, very important  because more important than creative, because even   with perfect copy, you can't sell a shitty offer,  right? If I try to sell Luke an ebook for $800,   and it's literally just a book where I write like  the theory of a single email and it's eight pages   long, four of those pages are the intro. Three  of those pages are the outro. There's one page   of content in there. Luke, isn't gonna care. Luke ISN is gonna buy that. So that's why your   offer is very, very, very important. And a key  rule here with your offer is that you want your   offer to be worth 10 to 15 times what you're  selling it for. And I'll get into how you do   that on point number five premiums. But first I  want to touch on the four types of offers that   you can make. The first type of offer is a lead  magnet. And we'll get into examples of each of   these specifically as we move further into  the presentation. But a lead magnet is very,   very simply an offer that you're giving away for  free. So a lead magnet, you could be familiar with   webinars. You could be familiar with eBooks  with free reports, right? Anything where I'm   sending you to a squeeze page. And all I'm saying  is, give me your name, give me your email.   And I will send you my thing for free. That is  a lead magnet. The sole purpose of that is for   me to collect your information in exchange for  value, the next type of offer is low ticket.   And so a low ticket offer depending  on the niche that you're working in,   depending the audience that you're targeting a  low ticket offer can be anywhere from a dollar 99,   all the way up to $97 in my space. I think in  Sean's space, it goes up closer to two or 300,   like in financial. And so consider that, but  low ticket offer is really just something that's   inexpensive to the people who you're selling it  to where they're gonna see it. And they'll say,   even if it doesn't work, I probably won't  ask for a refund because of how cheap it is,   right? So that's kind of the, the  mindset or a low ticket offer.   A high ticket offer is something where you're  going to ask for a considerable investment.   So you really, really, really need to sell. And  your offer needs to be, be really good because   someone is going to take a hit when they buy your  thing. It's going to make an actual difference   in their wallet when they purchase this, therefore  they need to get the result. That's promised in   the info space where I work high ticket is  anywhere from usually 4 97 at the lowest   all the way up to I showed you guys earlier, we  were selling something for $15,000. We looked at   a mastermind last week. I think it was $150,000 a  year. So that's high ticket, really anything that   costs a lot of money is high ticket. Something  that costs a little bit of money is low ticket.   And just gauge that by what your audience's  use, 15, the final type of offer is continuity   and continuity is just something that I buy  and then pay for either every month or every   year. So financial does this a lot where you  have subscription services like, uh, James   alt has, what is it? The, the top 1% advisory. Yeah, but I mean, it's any newsletter   is going to be a continuity offer more or less. So  whether that's a weekly newsletter or like a high   ticket, weekly newsletter or a low ticket monthly  newsletter, that's usually how it breaks down.   Yeah, exactly. So continuity just means I'm paying  for it more, more than once. And I'm getting   information on a regular basis in the info spaces.  I'm getting information, but in the physical   space, a continuity could be, I get the bottle  of supplements every month delivered to my door,   right? So continuity is just, I pay every  so often and I receive that same amount   on the back of this. We have what's called  premiums. So premiums, you might be familiar   with them under a different name. Premiums are  just what we call bonuses, right? So on any offer,   you're gonna have the main thing you're selling  and then to try to entice people to buy or to   give you their information and to try to pump  up the, the value of what you're offering.   You're going to add on more stuff, that's going to  solve the other problems that your buyer has.   And so premiums are complimentary to your core  offer and they are either going to be physical   or info bonuses that will solve the  next per problems or adjacent problems   to what your client is experiencing. So  for example, if I buy sales training,   and it's all about how to close more sales, then  maybe they're going to include as a premium,   how to get more sales calls from the DMS on  Instagram, right? Because that's something   that I would logically want to know because I'm  buying this thing on how to make more sales,   right? So it's just logical progression. What  else could my clients need, or my customer need   in order to maximize their results from this? If you think about the front end versus back end   dichotomy, it makes sense that low ticket is going  to be more often used to acquire eight customers   than high ticket. That just makes sense. It  doesn't make sense to go to cold traffic,   to go to people who don't know, you don't know  your business, et cetera, and try to sell them   a $2,000 masterclass or a lifetime subscription  to so the whole purpose of a funnel is to   try to bring a customer on and then slowly  engage them and slowly work with them   so that there is a relationship that's stronger  there so that you can sell higher ticket items   or can sell a continuity offer. And  the whole purpose of premiums is to   help you sell or whatever it is you're trying to  sell. And the best way to structure your premiums   is often to overcome any objections that they  might still have in a lingering way to using   whatever year it is. You're trying to do. John,  you were talking about bullets and fascinations.   Uh, last week, premiums can do the same thing.  A single bonus can sell an offer. Every business   has a funnel. We in the marketing space just  happen to be a little bit more transparent about   it. That's all I have to say about that. Your Creative is the final 20% of the campaign. And up   to this point, we've looked at your list, which is  41% your offer, which is 39. And so your creative   now is your final 20, and that is a combination  of your copy and your design and your copy. If   we want to be very, very simple about it, we can  say it's ads, it's emails, it's landing pages.   Those are the three places where your copy's  going. Like 100% of the time on the design side,   this is the typography. So the choice of font,  spacing, images, and videos. So if that's in   your ads, that's the creatives within your ads.  If that's on your pages, that could be a VSL at   the top and photos peppered throughout the rest of  it. And then it's also the flow of the page, which   I can't make that super tangible, but all I can  say on the flow is just, it's not distracting.   And it guides my eyes from one section to the  next, in a way that's not distracting to me,   right? Because if you have distraction, if  I'm distracted, if I land on the page and   I, I have no idea where to look, you're gonna  lose me because you haven't hoped me. So list,   offer and creative. And now I want to get into the  types of funnels. We won't do examples of each,   unless if you stick around until the end  and then we'll throw it on Patreon and   whatever, I'll do just an overview now, because  we're pretty much of the time. So I'll take an   extra half hour to do the types of funnels, the  types of email sequences. And then we'll go into   specific examples of each afterwards. And if you  want the recording, you can subscribe to the page.   Round lead magnet is the first type of funnel. And the lead magnet funnel is a squeeze page. It's   a client acquisition thing. So for lead  magnets, there are I think, three main   types. You get the free book, which you've seen  probably a million times free book is, Hey, I'm   gonna send you the PDF. If you just give me your  email next, we have the webinar, which is, Hey,   I'm going to show you how to achieve this one big  thing on a presentation, either live or recorded.   And there's always gonna be a pitch at the end.  And then there's the quiz. And a quiz funnel is   something that's relatively new. I think they've  only been around for three or four years now. And   the quiz funnel is either answer these questions  and I'm gonna give everyone the same answer. And   it's gonna seem like it's customized just because  they answer the questions beforehand, or the quiz   is gonna be a, a little bit more intricate. And it's actually going to serve up a different   answer based on the answers that you gave.  So a good example of a quiz could be like,   um, at the top of V shred on their homepage, you  can take a quiz to see what I don't remember if   it's like, what workout routine or what  supplement or whatever is best for you.   And so it's gonna ask you how old are you? How  tall are you? What's your current body type,   things like that. And then it's gonna serve  you a VSL at the end. That's really loaded with   value. And then at the end, there's a pitch. So  important thing to know for all three of these,   they exist only to get your contact in three and  then to give you a pitch right away. So free ebook   on the thank you page. There's always gonna be  an offer webinar at the end of the webinar.   And even sometimes on the webinar, thank  you page. There's always gonna be an offer   the quiz at the end of the quiz. There's always  going to be an offer because it doesn't make sense   for me to run traffic and pay for people just  to get their emails. When I could also for very   little additional effort, make some money back,  maybe break even so that my advertising is free   or even make profit on the front end before  I've even moved people down. My funnel,   the next type of offer is low, or I should say  funnel is low ticket. So low ticket funnels are   things that don't really cost of money. Things  that I can look at and be sold on just because   the offer is really good, right? They don't need  to do too much convincing, although that's really   just a general rule, cuz you'll see a lot of low  ticket stuff does have good sales copy on it.   So don't think that that gives you an excuse  to not write good copy. Good copy needs to be   everywhere. It's just that the decision is going  to be low for because the price is a lot lower. So   something you're probably familiar with is a book  funnel where someone's gonna sell you something   either free plus shipping like Russell Brunson  does, or a $7. E-book like Mike Shrieve or   Frank Kern, or maybe a dollar 99 physical book  like, um, traffic and funnels does it's just,   here is something a little bit more in depth  than the free book. And then just like you saw   in the lead magnets, or just like I said in  the lead magnets, there's always gonna be an   upsell on the back end of this, where I'm kind  of try to get more money from you and that can   either be an order bump or an upsell. And I'll show you some examples of this.   After we go through all of these, the mini  course is another good low ticket item. So   that is a collection of may three to five  videos with some bonuses. Usually these in   the info space where I work, these will cost  somewhere between 27 and $47. And the idea is   just to give you a ton of value because a mini  course seems a lot more valuable than a book,   even if it's the same information, even if it's  crappy production value, right? Like even if it's   just this, like you're seeing on your screen now,  or it just me talking to the camera, the fact that   there's the video makes it seem like it took a  lot more effort for me to produce it. Therefore   you're going to say it should be a lot more  expensive and that's kind of why I can get away   with selling it for 27 as opposed to seven. But for Kern does this really, really well. He   sells the book at $7 and then he sells the mini  course as a, or he gives away the mini course as   a bonus to the book. But the mini course is just  him talking about the stuff that's in the book.   The book is just a transcript of the mini  course. So there's a lot of really clever   ways that you can go about this many courses.  Usually though somewhere between 27 and 47, where   books are usually closer to two to seven, maybe  sometimes even $10, physical products are another   good example of a low ticket item and physical  products, depending on your audience, depending on   if you're doing a bundle or you're doing a single  thing, there are a lot of different price points.   But if we look at health, if we look at  supplements, usually can get away with selling one   bottle of the supplement for 2030, maybe $40. And then there's always the upsell of you want   three times this, or do you want six times this?  And you'll get a massive discount. If you do that   after this, the final type of we're gonna look  at are high ticket funds for high ticket. We   have investment advice, which is a really great  example. So that's the kind of stuff that Sean   sells when he takes eight months to write a  sales page. That's what he's talking about.   So these are going to be very, very, very long  because they're creating a huge logical argument.   They're are overcoming a ton of objections. Here's the thing with financial and here's the   thing with any, any funnel that requires or  necessitates long form copy. The reason longform   copy exists is that you are trying to sell a  product that nobody wakes up in the morning   and goes, oh man, I really need that product.  Like nobody gets up in the morning and goes,   God damn, do I need a newsletter right now?  Not only does it need to manufacture the demand   for it. It also needs to show you why that  particular product is the thing to tap into   that demand. You just got manufactured. Investment advice though is a very, very good   example of a high ticket offer because these  are things that correct me if I'm wrong, Sean,   but usually we'll sell for around $2,000  dollars a year for the subscription.   Usually the funnel is either a nine, 19 or 39 or  $49 front end on the back end. It usually ranges   from four 97,997, 2000 in some cases, $5,000. Okay, cool. So high ticket, because like I, I said   earlier, I'm gonna go into this and I'm going  to have to think about it before I buy. It's   not gonna be an impulse purchase. This is gonna  be like a big thing that could potentially be   life changing. So I'm gonna put a lot of thought  into it. And there are all the factors that Sean   mentioned to consider as well. Like this is gonna  be a really, really long sales page. You also have   in the info space for virtual events are a good  example of high ticket because a virtual event is   it's kind of like if we were doing a seminar, but  now just because everything's moved online, right?   Virtual events are usually between 2 97 and 4 97.  And then on the back end, you'll have upsells as   well. My most successful campaign of all time was  a event that did close to $200,000 in 30 days.   And the way that we did that was with on the front  end, we sold the ticket. The order bump was a   recording. The upsell was bonus sessions in the  middle of the, the event. We sold a book and at   the end of the event, we sold a mastermind. It's  a really, really great structure. And that's why   I love virtual events so much because the virtual  event gives me the opportunity to collect money,   to provide value, to show you, to give me  more money. Right? And so it's a really   great funnel because within the span of just the  30 days leading up to and including the event,   and then the six days of the event itself, I  have the potential to make multiple six figures   depending on the audience that's showing up.  And of course what niche I'm operating in,   it gives me the opportunity to make a lot of money  because there's so much value being given.   And I have such a good opportunity to interact  with my customer base, build that relationship   and lead them logically day to day to day, just  like Sean was saying earlier with the lead magnets   or with the bonuses, sorry to tell you, this is  the next thing you need. And by the time I get to   the end of the event, by the way, do you want to  buy the next thing you need that I've been telling   you about all week? So virtual events love them.  Very good for upsells and for generating income.   And then the final example is an application  funnel. Application funnels are, are very,   very different from most phones. And I'll show  you actually, this one, take a look at it. It's   not at all like what you would expect. There's no  copy here. This isn't a long form sales page. This   is people who already have a deep relationship  with the guru in this case, Russell Brunson.   And who've been thinking to themselves  for the last like 2, 3, 4, 5 years,   this is something I want to buy. So that's  why this video that we have up here is really   an aspirational video and not a sales video. The  content of it is, um, Hey, look at all this really   cool stuff that all of these people have thanks  to them being in this program. And then down here   in the copy, they're are not trying to sell  me. They're trying to scream me because Russell   Brunson salespeople, they don't have the time to  be on the phone with everybody who wants to make   a million plus dollars a year or five or 25 or 50  or a hundred million because that's everybody.   So what they're doing instead is saying here  is the very, very, very neat each audience that   this is right for. You have to be like this,  if you want to apply. And then here are all   the benefits to get you a little bit excited  and a big application form where it's gonna   automatically reject you. If you don't answer  the questions correctly, or if it accepts you,   then it's a conditional acceptance where  then a salesperson is going to call you.   And when the salesperson calls you, they're gonna  screen you even more. And that's really just sales   tactics in order to get you more invested in  the offer, because the harder I make it for you   to buy my thing, the more you're gonna wanna buy  my thing. So that's an application funnel, very,   very different, but this is how you sell the most  expensive offers. Masterminds are gonna be sold   this way. Any, anything that's like 10,000,  15,000 a hundred thousand, because you need   human interaction to make it work. And you need  to be very, very careful about who you led into   these programs. So screening plus sales  call aspiration versus sales copy. When   You get into high ticket offers, it becomes more  and more important because you're, you're devoting   more personal time to an individual customer.  So you need to make sure that they are the   right kind of customer for you. And so it makes  sense, especially if you have a business where   people are familiar with, you want to work  with, you have been indoctrinated into like your   mindset have been working with your content, your  copy, your business, your ideas for many years,   they are already sold. And so the application  is just there to weed people out so that you   aren't wasting your time on somebody. Who's not  your ideal customer for that particular pro   Because the number of customers  you're gonna have is so small,   it's much more costly when you lose one. And so  to acquire a customer that sucks, it's potentially   much more costly to those kinds of businesses.  And so you don't want to sell to somebody who is   going to have a bad time than be angry or upset  with you. Then you're gonna have to spend your   already limited time dealing with that. Say, you're trying to start a business.   You don't start off with a thinking application  funnel. That's another reason why, like John   mentioned and reinforced, you wanna know where  the traffic's coming from. You wanna know what   they're seeing. You wanna have an understanding  of the list before you start writing to them   To diagnose, optimize, and scale your funnels  or your client's exist in funnels. When they   bring you board. There aren't too many  rules. It's not super tactical. Like it's   pretty easy to come in and make a funnel better.  Once you understand the fundamental strategies   that we're talking about in this presentation.  So I'll give you an example of how to diagnose,   right? When you're diagnosing it's as simple as  looking at their baseline and asking yourself,   where is the drop off? For example, on ads, you'll  have a few different stats. You'll have CPM,   which is a cost for 1000 views. And the way that's  determined is different based on the algorithm for   each advertising platform on Facebook, your CPM is  going to change based on the keywords, the emojis,   and on the relevancy and the quality score, right?  So you can help someone bring their CPM down on   Facebook, by changing out the keywords, making  their text creatives and headlines more relevant   to each other and to the landing page and play  around with things like that on the a there's   like CTM, CTR and conversion rate. So you can look at these stats and see   if one ad has a very, very low conversion rate  and you're spending a lot on it. And the other   ad has a really, really high conversion  rate. And you're spending a lot on it,   cut out the ad. That's not getting good results,  put all that money into the ad that is getting   good results. And now all of a sudden your  results have double tripled, quadrupled,   whatever. Right? So diagnosing is really  just as simple as looking at the baseline   and seeing what are they doing  wrong? Let's do less of that.   What are they doing? Right. Let's do more of that.  And that's optimizing too, because optimizing is   just doing more of the right thing and doing less  of the wrong thing on ads. That's very simple   because it's all very data driven. When you go  onto landing pages and sales pages, you can look   at things like the lead and test out different  headlines and test out different graphics.   And VSLs at the top of the page above the fold.  Usually that's gonna be your most important stuff,   right above the fold. You can try adding in more  testimonials. You can try changing up the offer,   putting in more bonuses, switching out the  bonuses, taking away some bonuses. So there   are a few different things that you can do there  as well, and see how it affects the baseline.   Don't scrap what you're doing entirely, but you  can run two simultaneous tests and see which one   gets results and continue to build upon the one  that gets the best results. And then on the back   end with emails, it's as a simple as what are  my people responding to for subject lines, for,   from names for preview lines, and then what are  they responding to for calls to action, do more   of the good stuff, do less of the bad stuff. That's really all that optimizing is do more of   the good stuff, do less of the bad stuff. And  then when it comes to scaling, it's as simple as   put more money, time and effort into the  good stuff and Nicks all of the bad stuff.   So maybe you'll have notice the theme here or  doing less of the bad stuff, and we're doing   a lot more of the good stuff, and that's all you  need to be a marketing consultant or a marketing   strategist or someone who's operating on a higher  level like that is access to the data so that you   can look at it and determine what's going right.  What's going wrong. Do more of this, do less of   this and build upon that. All right, we've got  one section left and that's on email. We'll just   briefly touch on what each of these means and  a little bit of the strategy behind them.   So the first one is the welcome autoresponder.  This, you might also know as a sequence, a welcome   auto responder is really just as simple as person  opts in. They get this predetermined series of   emails to drive them to the next action. And so  in my case with info products, usually that's,   Hey, you just opted in or you just bought  whatever. Here's some value here's value.   Here's some value go buy. I think that's pretty  much always how it works. Frank Kern calls us   an indoctrination sequence. I think pretty much  everybody does this ever period like you opt in,   you're gonna get those emails. They're gonna try  to sell you on the next thing. Webinar sequences   are a little bit more complex where the objective  is going to be to get someone who opted into the   webinar to actually show up. And this one I'll  actually pull up the mock up real quick.   Cuz I mentioned at the beginning of  this presentation, a little hack that   you can do to increase your webinar, show up  rates that your clients aren't gonna think   of themselves. So I wanna show you what  that little hack is. All of this here is   the webinar. So this is what a webinar sequence  looks like. All of the stuff on this front end   is done in order to get people, to show up all  this stuff done on the back end is done in order   to get people onto an order form so that they buy  the little hack is to include SMS marketing. And   so not a lot of people do this because the belief  that a lot of people have in the market right now   is if I ask people for their phone number, my  conversion rates are going to decrease by a lot.   Now that might be true in some niche  issue I can't speak for everybody.   I did a split test on the virtual events campaign  that I was flexing at the beginning of this.   And from that split test, we did one landing page  for the webinar registration, where we did not   ask for the phone number and one where we  made it mandatory to give the phone number.   And the mandatory one had more opt-ins  than the other one for percentage wise. And   in total we had like had a couple hundred people  register. So it was a good enough sample sites to   get data on that. And ever since then, I've never  tested it again, but I've always done mandatory   text collection, and I've never, when the landing  page is good, I've never seen less than 30 to 40%.   Opt-ins for a webinar, even when, and  we're asking for the phone number.   So ask for the phone number and then set up  these text sequences where your first text   sequence is gonna go out upon registration. So let's say Sean opt into my webinar for this   masterclass and say, Hey Sean, it's Jonathan,  here's my number. So you can save it. And then   also for compliance, I'm gonna say, I just sent  you an email, check your in box, by the way,   if you want to stop receiving these messages, just  a text stop. So I'm going to introduce myself. I'm   going to tell you to go get all the information  in your inbox, which is all of this sequence. And   then I'm going to do the compliance thing where I  tell you, you can opt out at any time by texting   whatever. Then on the day before we wanna send out  a that says, Hey, by the way, webinars tomorrow,   and on the day of five minutes prior, you wanna  send out a message that says, Hey, by the way,   webinars here, here's the link so that  someone can access it from their phone.   Even if they're not checking their emails,  because one big problem is that people get   so many emails. As soon as they're not thinking to  them themselves, I need to be on this webinar. I   need to find this email. It's gonna slip by them  and they're going to forget, or they're not gonna   care enough. Or the email's just gonna go into  their promotions filter, and they're not gonna   see it in their normal inbox. So by texting them,  Hey, here's the webinar link and you have it as a   digitally link. So it's super short. They click  on it, they join the webinar from their phone,   and then it also gives them the advantage of  I can still work. I can have supper. I can do   whatever I've gotta do while I'm listening to  the webinar, which is much more in line with   the way that people consume content these days,  as opposed to, I'm gonna sit for 90 minutes,   undistracted take notes, right? That's not really how people operate.   So you're giving them a chance to still hear  the, this pitch. Of course, it's gonna be a   little bit more friction if you're trying to get  them to pay attention, once you get to the pitch,   but even if they only stay for 20, 30, 40 minutes  of the webinar, they still get that value. And   then when you follow up with the emails on the  back end, there's gonna be more initiative there   for them to take you up on the offer. If they  like the value you were giving them up front.   So that's why I do that. And then on the  backend, we also have one for the replay that   goes out three hours after. And we say, really  just, Hey, webinar's over, replay's done. And   you can go check out the replay here. This is  actually was something that Sean taught me.   So they shout out to Sean. So that's how I use SMS  marketing. And then there's also a text message   that we send out with the second abandoned  cart email, which will go over briefly. And   that is to drive people back to an order form when  they've given their contact information, but they   didn't fill out their credit card information and  click by. So that's the secret weapon, a phone   number costs, I think like $2 a month. If you buy  it with Twilio. And then it's a couple of cents   to send out a ton of SMS messages. Whenever you do  a batch. So super, super cheap, your client won't   have any financial resistance to it. Just sell  them on the idea, say this is gonna make stuff   work even more good. And they're gonna be like,  wow, I love it. And then you can do it very, very   easy to implement because these have like a 160  character limit or something crazy like that.   So not a ton of copy either next, we have a third  sequence. That's a little bit complicated, a   little bit big is a product launch. So that's when  you're sending something out to your existing list   and you want them to get to a new offer, or  maybe it's just a repurposed offer. Something   that you're selling once a quarter or once a year.  But the product launch sequence is a long email   sequence that you're using to drive people to  the sales page, create urgency, create scarcity,   get people to buy usually a ticket thing,  because this is on the back end. Since it's   going out to people who are already on your list,  the product launch sequence, you can actually see   a good example of how I do this. Along with  the webinar sequence. If you head over to   email launch secrets.com, there's an ebook that  I wrote where I lay all of these out in detail,   give you all the questions to answer so that  you can fill in the blanks on the templates.   There's a calendar, right? There's all of the  dates that you need to program the emails for   all of the subject lines. So email launch  secrets.com. If you want to go and see exactly   how I do this, and there's also a quick launch  sequence in that book as well, a bunch of bonuses.   So go check out that offer. If you're writing  emails, it's gonna make it extremely quick and you   could probably punch out a whole product  launch sequence for webinar sequence in like   two days. That's what I did. So very, very  easy to implement email launch, secret.com,   but moving on the event cart, good plug. That was  a good plug. Moving on. I'll allow it sequence   The event. Cart sequence. Very, very simple.  This one is just three emails. The purpose of   the abandoned card sequence is to capitalize on  what we call a two step order form. When you have   an order form, usually what people will do, people  who aren't marketing savvy, we'll try to collect   all the information and then you click the buy  button and then you get the thing. Two step order   forms. What they do is you've got either step  one, step two or step one, step two, step three,   or step one is collect your contact information.  Step two is putting your credit card information.   And then if there's a step three, it's just  confirm your purchase. Sometimes it's at the   bottom of step two. So what that does is that  gives me the marketer, the opportunity to say   anybody who filled in step one, but did not fill  in step two, send them this email sequence.   So the way that that works is it's all within  your it's all within your CRM, your autoresponder.   If you're using ClickFunnels, you can do that.  If you're using cart tray, you can do that.   I'm sure Kajabi has that functionality as well.  There's just a trigger that you can create and   say, if somebody fills in step one, in my order  form, put them into this sequence where the first   email's gonna go out 30 minutes after it'll be  something like, Hey, was there a problem with   your order? Come back, finish your order email.  Two's gonna go out from probably the next day.   And it's just gonna be like, Hey, if you're  unsure, feel free to reach out to me either   through phone or through email, just trying  to create a little bit of personal connection   so you can overcome whatever objections they  have without needing to know what they are.   And without having to write a huge  email about it. And then number three   is going to be, Hey, here's some social proof or  here's me overcoming your objections a little bit   and that'll go out either the third day or  the fourth day. So there's either a 24 hour or   48 hour gap between email to and email three. And  that's again trying to drive people back to the   order form so that you can have them finish the  purchase. And you're just trying to overcome their   final or introduce some social proof in order to  move them to the purchase. The last email sequence   is a recovery email sequence. And this one's  very simple as well. Just three emails where   the objective of this is if you have a dead  list, like people who don't respond anymore,   or if you want to create a trigger so that if  somebody doesn't open an email for a certain   amount of time, they get this sequence. Those are the best ways to use it. So imagine   with my software, I can say if Luke doesn't  open any of my emails for 45 days, tag him   inactive. When Luke receives the tag  inactive, take him out of my newsletter list,   put him to the recovery email signals and send him  these three emails. And then based on his actions,   there I'll either remove him from my CRM  completely. That way I'm not spending money to   have him on the list. If he's not gonna be doing  anything or put him back on the newsletter list.   Now that he's shown me, he actually wants to be  there. So email one is going to be, Hey, Luke,   do you, we want to be here. If yes, please  click here. If no, please click here. If no,   remove him from the list. If yes, or if  no action send email number two, which is,   Hey Luke, thanks a lot for showing me. You still want to be here. Here's a free gift. So   something valuable that otherwise I'd be  selling on my website or in one of my phones   to make Luke feel like I actually care about the  relationship I have with him. Because if Luke   isn't opening my emails, just from my perspective  as an infomarketer, who's doing relationship based   stuff. That means that Luke either doesn't  believe I can solve his problem anymore.   Luke doesn't have that problem anymore. Or Luke  just hates me for the kind of content I've been   sending him up to this point. If Luke doesn't have  the problem anymore, he's gonna click. No he's   gonna get outta my sequence. If Luke doesn't  think that I have the solution anymore, then   I'm going to reinvigorate that trust by sending  him my free thing. That's hopefully gonna move him   closer towards the solution. If Luke thinks that  I'm trashing at this point, and I don't actually   care about him or the relationship that we have,  then I'm going to rekindle that relationship by   giving him stuff that normally other people pay  for. And what's a better way to show somebody that   I care than giving them a free offer. I mean,  there's a lot, there's a lot of ways, but,   But me as an info marketer, that's one of the best  I can do. Luke then receives that and email number   three. If Luke takes me up on that offer, then I  move into email number three, where I would say,   Hey Luke. So just to catch you up on everything  you've missed. Since the last time you opened,   one of my emails here are my top articles or my  top offers or my top podcasts or whatever I've   been doing since the last time you came through  and you don't have to actually just have stuff   in there that was over the last 45 days. But you  can have like, Hey, just to get you up to speed,   like here are the top articles that I've been  putting out. Or I was recently featured on this   podcast, which I thought was amazing. Right.  And just plug in some info like that.   So just content in order to, again, give more  value and you're building the relationship.   Maybe you sprinkle some offers in there. If  you had something that was like, oh, I sold,   um, I sold my core offer at 50% off. I know  that you weren't actually opening the email   so you didn't see that, but here's a chance to  get that offer. Again. It's only gonna last 24   hours after I send you this email though, because  if it lasts forever, it would be unfair to the   people who actually bought during that. Right?  So those would be the three emails, email one.   Do you actually want to be here? Email  two? Here's the three gift, email three.   Here's a summary of what you missed. My three  biggest recommendations for books. If you're going   to look@thebiggerpictureofmarketingforone.com  secrets from Russell Brunson, if you're going   to go read of any book after this presentation, it  should be this one because.com secrets is going to   tell you how marketing works from a to Z. What is a value ladder? What are the types of   funnels? How do you structure each of them? What  should the sales copy? The VSL look like? What   should the front end? The backend look like?  He's going to Russell Brunson, give an inside,   look into all of that. And it will be extremely  valuable for you. Number two, the book launch   from Jeff Walker. So this one is all about product  launches. I like it a lot for the theory because   it's a lot of stuff that I've never heard anywhere  else before, but he also gives really good   practical information on how to write the emails  and how to structure the campaign, leading up to   a new product launch or a product relaunch. The  third book would be over deliver from Brian Kurts   Luke just finished that book this weekend. So  I'll let him briefly mention what it's about.   If you like the step of the 41 39 and 20 thing  that John talked about, which was the list,   the offer and the creative Brian really goes  in depth on these three different components   and how they work and how they fit like the  whole marketing picture. And I just finished it   yesterday and I thought it was a really good Book. Number two, we're looking at programs.   So if you're ready to invest in programs, the  people who I would recommend you buy from are   Frank Kern. He has a lot of great programs about  marketing campaign structure. His best one is mass   control. That's what it used to be called. I don't  remember what it's called now. He rebranded cuz   mass control sounds a little bit manipulative and  that's not who he is trying to be anymore. So mass   control or whatever it is now from Frank Kern,  anything from Ryan dice and digital marketer, they   have everything from how to do a good homepage,  to how to write a proper VSL, to how to structure   Facebook ads, right? They have a whole library of  stuff and they have a continuity program where you   can access all of it. So I highly recommend you  look into to Ryan dice and digital marketer.   And then number three, rich Sheran who is like the  godfather of internet marketing. Rich Sheron has   worked with a Agora with Ryan D with Frank  Kern, right? Rich Sheran has worked with   everybody basically who makes millions, tens of  millions and hundreds of million dollars in direct   response online. And he has a program right now  called steal our winners, where he sits down and   interviews the most successful people on topics  that they're experts at. So he'll sit down with a   YouTube ads expert and just talk for an hour about  YouTube ads. He'll sit down with a VSL expert   and talk for just an hour about VSLs and he  does a newsletter style. So every month you   get a around 10 of these videos with each of the  different experts and you get access to that.   There's a trial that you can sign up to. I think  it's a dollar for the most recent edition.   And then there should be upsells to buy the  backlogs and the lifetime subscription. If you   find that it's valuable. Finally, we have software  for pieces of software. I recommend funnelly. It   is the software that you saw when I showed you the  mock up of the emails in funnelly. You can build   out all of your campaigns. You can put landing  pages, email sequences, make it all visual for   your client. And that's a huge value add because  when you're sitting down on sales call number two,   after you've pitched them, the idea, you sit down  with them, you do screen share and you go through   the layout on funnelly and it's gonna help them  understand everything a lot better than if you   were just speaking about it. So it's gonna be a  huge value add to you because you're able to show   them what the process actually looks like. They get to make it tangible for themselves.   And every other marketer they've spoken to,  hasn't done that. So who do you think they're   gonna go with? The guy who they understand what  the pitch is or the other guy who it's kind of a,   and they're not really sure what they're actually  getting for deliverables. Obviously you right.   Software number two, Canva. I like to use  it for design. I have the paid version. Oh,   by the way, funnelly three. You can buy what  they call the vault as an upsell. And the vault   gives you access to a breakdown of every possible  funnel you could think of from all the big names,   prank, ke and digital marketer. Basically  everybody, I'm not gonna list everyone,   but like lay boss, Russell Brunson, all those guys  Keva for design, very advanced. Now they've got   tons of features, the paid subscription,  because I like to use all the features,   but you can get the three version as well. And then two more pieces of free software   bid. How is like a YouTube ads library where  you can search the name of the advertiser,   find all the ads that are running. Find the  transcripts of the ads, the ads spend, and, um,   like a breakdown. They send you a new letter  breakdown of the most successful ads. So very,   very valuable there. And then same thing for  Facebook is called the Facebook ad library. You   don't have to sign up for that. You just search  for the advertiser and you see all the ads that   they're running on Facebook right now. And with  that, I conclude my presentation. Let's   Take a moment and share some takeaways. The P  people that I see struggling the most and making   the least amount of money are the people that do  not write with intention that do not calculate   what their copy is doing and where, and when they  perhaps learn a template or perhaps get a cookie   cutter from some course, because they only have a  hammer. Every problem, because comes a nail. One   of the reasons why marketing, understanding the  strategy behind funnels and understanding a little   bit of that marketing component, you don't need  to be an expert, but you need to understand it   is because it gives you insight into where  your copy goes and what your copy does.   And if you don't have that mind,  if you were writing with intention   and deliberate calculation towards where your copy  is going, it's going to fail. And that applies   whether you are writing sales copy or content  marketing. If you were just writing blogs, because   you got an English degree and you wanna make  money with words, I hate to break it to ya. But   every moment that you are not deliberately trying  to work with a broader strategy in that business,   you are a liability for that company. If  you're writing, uh, like Facebook brand copy,   you're part of the funnel. And you have to  understand where you are in the funnel and   why your words work in the context of  that broader marketing strategy.   I think this is like the next step. Like you've  said it before, where you have good copy,   bad copy. And then you have copy that works and  copy that doesn't work. I feel like mastering,   like this broader 30,000 for view is what's  gonna like teach you how to make copy. That   works instead of copy. That's just good. Just being aware of this stuff is automatically   going to make your copy better. I just wanna say  thank you very much, Jonathan, for taking Monday   morning and spending it with us. I'm appreciative  of all the people who watched all of our Patreon   supporters. I hope you learned something today.  I hope you take what you learned today and use   it to level up your copywriting skills. And  I hope you make a ton of money. Goodbye.
