    Podcast Summary

    • Effectively generating leads from a business websiteSegment and qualify leads by interest for targeted responses and content creation, utilizing measurable lists of past customers and prospect newsletters to increase sales.

      Lead generation from a business website is crucial for growth and success. The individuals who opt in or request information specifically from your business demonstrate a high level of interest and can be segmented based on their category of interest. These leads are valuable indicators of potential sales and can help inform content creation and business strategy. A general opt-in for a newsletter is useful for providing a sampling of what's available, but landing pages specific to interests can help further segment and qualify leads. Lists, such as past customers and prospect newsletters, are naturally available in a business and can be segmented and measured to increase sales. In summary, lead generation from a website is essential for business growth. By segmenting and qualifying leads, businesses can effectively respond to their interests and create targeted content to increase sales. The use of measurable, repeatable, and clearly defined lists is crucial for effectively leveraging leads and growing a business.

    • Narrowing down leads for effective marketingUnderstand audience composition and behavior to improve marketing efficiency, test platforms, analyze conversion rates, gather demographic info, and use a CRM to manage and engage with leads

      Effective lead generation is essential for copywriters to grow their business by narrowing down a broad audience into a targeted group of individuals who can be reached repeatedly at a favorable cost. This process involves creating a prospect newsletter and utilizing various platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and LinkedIn to build lists. The greatest value comes from understanding the composition and behavior of these leads, which can be achieved through testing different platforms, analyzing conversion rates, and gathering demographic information. By focusing on individuals and their unique characteristics, copywriters can improve the efficiency of their marketing efforts, determine which language and headlines work best, and ultimately increase sales. A customer relationship management system (CRM) can be used to store and manage this valuable data, providing additional insights and opportunities for engagement.

    • Engaging leads for effective B2B marketingBuilding an in-house list of engaged leads is cost-effective and allows for personalized communication and tailored offers in B2B marketing.

      Building an in-house list of engaged leads is crucial for effective and cost-efficient marketing in the business-to-business world. Engaging in one-on-one communication through emails, surveys, and free reports helps to understand the leads' interests and needs. This information can then be used to tailor offers and solutions to their specific requirements. The in-house list is more cost-effective than general mailing lists or social media audiences as it allows for more targeted and personalized interactions. Once leads are identified, they can be further tested and refined through autoresponders and funnels. The ultimate goal is to gather leads' names, addresses, and phone numbers to initiate sales conversations and address their unique needs and concerns.

    • Maximizing Sales and Profits through Email MarketingEffectively build an email list targeting decision-makers, create engaging content, and establish relationships to unlock sales opportunities and improve marketing strategies.

      Engaging with potential customers through email marketing can lead to valuable insights and eventual sales, even if a transaction doesn't occur immediately. Building a substantial email list and identifying key decision-makers within your target audience can lead to monetization opportunities and improved marketing strategies. As a copywriter, focus on creating content that resonates with those looking to increase sales, boost profits, and unlock new markets. By sharing success stories and offering valuable resources, you can establish a relationship and eventually present targeted offers. To effectively build your email list, aim for decision-makers within your industry or niche. This could include procurement managers, marketing directors, or business owners. By catering to their specific needs and offering solutions to their unique challenges, you can establish yourself as a trusted resource and build a successful, passive income-generating agency.

    • Identify 100 ideal buyers or past customers and reach out to them through various channelsTargeting high-prospect clients by identifying ideal buyers or past customers and offering tailored offers through various channels can generate leads effectively and efficiently.

      Building and cultivating a targeted list of high-prospect clients is a crucial aspect of effective lead generation. This can be achieved by identifying 100 ideal buyers or past customers, and using various channels like LinkedIn, pay-per-click, guest posts, and social media to reach out to them. By offering valuable gifts and curating the list, you can keep your competitors in the dark about your offers. It's important to maintain an opt-out list for privacy reasons. Through this method, you can interact with thousands of potential customers and develop content that generates leads, while offering tailored offers to those on your list. This approach is a significant shortcut compared to the "spray and pray" method used by many.

    • Focus on building a loyal audience of potential clientsEffectively engaging with a targeted audience can lead to high-value projects and a solid book of business.

      As a freelance copywriter, it's more effective to focus on building a loyal audience of potential clients rather than trying to attract a large number of clients indiscriminately. By delivering high-value content and engaging in dialogue with your audience, you can cultivate a list of qualified leads who are more likely to hire you for copywriting projects, such as sales letters, critiques, and lead generation campaigns. This shift from a freelancer seeking more work to a partner with target organizations and industries allows you to build equity in your audience and be paid based on results rather than the amount of content produced. By activating and managing your in-house list effectively, you can reactivate past clients and grow a solid book of business. Building a quality lead generation campaign is a powerful resource for business owners and executives, allowing you to reach specific audiences, understand their needs, and scale your business.

    A sure fire way to lose subscribers (and clients)

    A sure fire way to lose subscribers (and clients)
    Don't do this if you want more clients. I make this mistake all the time. It makes my life more difficult as a copywriter or marketer.

    The biggest takeaway is that "monthly regular, better than weekly irregular." When it comes to prospect communications, regular is better.

    Listen carefully if you use podcasting or periodic content to build your client list. My last episode was in December for one of my channels; now it is February.

    I wasn't slacking. I had billable client work, published in other channels, and been engaged elsewhere. Fortunately, I have so many channels, but I could see the drop in analytics.

    This is for freelance copywriters or marketers who feel overwhelmed by content creation. Remember, you aren't in the content business. You are in the business of marketing copywriting services.

    A $20k a Month Podcast, Is It Possible?

    A $20k a Month Podcast, Is It Possible?
    Do you have a high-traffic website but no revenue to show for it? That's typical for podcasts, YouTube channels, and content websites.

    You must do something different to earn $20,000 a year or more. That's what this episode is about. How to add additional streams of income to any periodic audio or video podcast.

    The office is so busy lately that I cannot get through a podcast without an inbound call. That's a great place to be. But not the kind of distraction I need.

    Start with understanding current earnings. Use a measure called CPM. This is "cost per mille" or "cost per thousand." The number doesn't matter; improve it each month.

    But advertising alone won't get you to $20,000 a month. That's where so many podcasters, influencers, and publishers make a huge mistake. As a copywriter or marketer, you can help.

    Triple Conversion Cleaning Up Content The Right Way

    Triple Conversion Cleaning Up Content The Right Way
    Stop wasting time chasing Google Search updates. Most websites can't convert traffic even if search engines send you traffic.

    Stop deleting content on a hunch chasing rankings. Instead, use a scientific approach that triples conversion.

    You're in the right place if you want double digital conversion rates and more cash flow from your business website.

    This approach looks at extracting best practices for lead and sales conversion. Then turns those best practices into better evergreen content.

    Evergreen content helps you draw consistent visitors and conversion. You'll have more predictable results for your business website.

    Unfortunately, many marketing managers choose to delete content rather than improve it. They look for quick wins without understanding how conversion rate optimization works.

    Copywriters and marketers can provide a valuable service in rewriting poor-performing content. This is value-added because you understand targeting.

    More importantly, as conversion rates increase, so can cash flow. Documenting best practices makes new content creation more predictable.

    I'm looking forward to your questions in the comments.

    Many will ask, "If this system is so powerful, why would you share it?" Most who start listening to this mega-podcast episode won't finish it.

    The majority looks for "marketing secrets" that don't require effort, or somehow magically work in every economy. Those shiny objects are an illusion.

    This high-ticket-selling system is strategic. In teaching it I demonstrate how the system works, but also how you can make it work.

    How to increase profits and double conversion

    How to increase profits and double conversion
    The sad fact is that copywriting is only 20% of the work necessary to get customers. Yet copywriting impacts 80% of the results. Unfortunately copywriting is 100% more exciting than these frameworks I share in this episode.

    Yet the framework is the critical factor that shows you where to apply copy. You can write the very best most clever copy in the world, but in front of the wrong audience you’ll have a flop. That’s why this framework is so critical.

    The 80% of work that makes great copy possible is testing, measuring, and segmentation. It’s managing the six key variables that influence conversion. It’s how you apply your daily marketing budge, or how you have a budget for advertising at all.

    Rather than hit and miss, you have targeted and focused. Rather than being at the whim of advertising platforms, you direct the show to get maximum return on advertising spend. Use these insights to drill down into markets so that you find the right buyers for what you offer.

    This particular client now has a library of campaigns they can implement anytime they want a cash surge. They have a clear testing plan. They know what works and what does. And through this mange to recover every marketing dollar in 8-months, verses not at all.

    What’s interesting about this approach is that I can teach it but most won’t implement it. I can show you how it works, but most won’t bother. It’s simply not as exciting as being creative, coming up with new ideas, and the game of copywriting. Sad but true.

    Turns your content catalog into passive income

    Turns your content catalog into passive income
    This new approach turns your old content catalog into new passive income. Recycle your very best marketing, content, videos, and more. Reach more prospects and qualified leads faster.

    There are so many channels available to reach your prospects. Many channels have specialized optimization needs. Your qualified prospects are loyal to these channels, but you aren't there.

    Big tech wants you to focus on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter. Yet hundreds of channels exist that they don't want you to know about.

    Your prospects are on platforms like Rumble, Locals, Bitchute, Odysee, and TikTok. Then again, they might be somewhere else. The right marketing analytics and testing reveals all.

    Marketers love stirring up "End of" predictions for these platforms. Most creators can only focus on one or two platforms. The truth is that your collective pool of prospects spans every channel.

    Good news! You already have the content necessary to expand and test across these channels. Yet most content creators want new and interesting. That's a recipe for failure.

    I don't want interesting; I want effective. Your bank account wants boring, consistent, and growth. If you only publish on YouTube and your customers are on Rumble, you miss out on a huge opportunity.

    Platforms are changing faster than most can keep up. That's why it is critical to have a content-recycling strategy. You create content; our team can syndicate that content to every relevant platform.

    By relevant, I mean market-tested to reach the highest percentage of qualified buyers. Do not spray and pray. Coding every message and maintaining a content library helps you know what works.

    You don't need to be everywhere, only where your customers live. With the fragmentation of media sites, don't miss an opportunity to test. Go where prospects are more familiar.

    Subject matter experts with a backlog of content can build their in-house media. In-house media is profitable and low-cost. It starts by bringing prospects back to your website.

    But it doesn't have to be a website. It could be a transaction that puts them in your accounting system. Getting that opt-in lets you make offers on your terms. Converting them in-house is powerful, but you must own the media to do it.

    You will be removing the distractions they face. But building a membership site, course, or community is hard work. It takes technical skills you likely don't have. That's why I've launched a content curation service.

    Even better news! Our team can do all the heavy lifting if you have a back catalog of content. Turn that content into passive income, new revenue sources, and high ticket sales.
