Right now in 2025, everyone and their mom are talking about,
you should grow your personal brand.
You should create content online because it seems to be the easiest way to
generate sales and scale your high ticket info slash coaching offer.
Now, the issue of most people is, is that they look at content
as like this shiny object.
If they just create content, they'll magically make more sales.
And that's exactly why 99% of creators
never make over a million dollars in a year or even get to the 500
to a million dollars in a month.
You know, in this video, I'm going to go through a recording.
And basically what I'm going to walk you guys through is the entire content
psychology we use at our agency, Social Profit Media, Scale,
and Get to a Million Dollar Months.
Now, I want to preface this by saying that this is not going to be some
like gimmick where I'm going to share some secret or some secret strategies
where if you just copy them, you'll make more money.
These are really the foundational principles and basics
that we use to create content and kind of build personal brands in a way
that actually creates long lasting effects and really helps you create
this sort of like compounding effect.
So with that said, I'm going to transition over into the video.
It'll be super, super tactical.
It was super based on like principles, because if you learn the principles,
you'll learn how to create content.
So I'm going to switch it over now to the video recording
of this mastermind talk that I gave.
And really, it'll be very tactically focused and very principles based
because, you know, we believe that if you understand the principles
and you know how to apply them,
that's when you're equipped with the tools that you need in order to succeed
at the branding and content game.
Now, there's three things you're not going to learn here, OK?
You're not going to learn a secret hack to go and scale your coaching company
to a million a month in the next 90 days.
You're also not going to get some magic shout out formula
to get 10K followers overnight. I hate to disappoint.
There's also not going to be no turbocharged viral three step formula.
There's going to be four things I'm going to cover today, which is number one,
really like the holistic or like psychologically based way
to build a personal brand
where you can attract, nurture and convert people on a day to day basis.
Two, I'm going to go down three types of content.
You need to actually go and facilitate that.
And this content right now generates our clients over three million a month.
Combined next, we're going to show you how to actually close people
in terms of getting them to sell themselves to you or your program.
And lastly, I'm going to do a quick little breakdown
of a million dollar a month personal brand that we work with right now.
Sound fair enough? Sweet.
How to actually build a personal brand.
And so I want to kind of take this very much down
because I think it's been a bit of a watered down concept at this point.
Ultimately, people seek sort of guidance and solutions to their problems, right?
And they usually go for that on social media.
And these days, you know, you guys, obviously a lot of other creators,
they kind of provide those.
And ultimately, for you to be able to leverage that to grow your business,
you need to sort of become the hero, right?
And we all look up to them and we have our own little heroes that we use.
And really, the power for all of them lies in having an audience.
And so that's what we're going to cover here.
And so the three things you need to actually grow your personal brand
is you need someone to know, like and trust you.
These are the three key efforts.
You don't need to have a Lambo, a fancy watch or any of that, right?
It's just three key things that they need.
And so at this point, Instagram, compared to like a lot of the other platforms,
sort of like a reality TV show, right?
You obviously have stories, feed posts and all that good stuff.
But you can see on a day to day basis, OK, what is James up to?
What is Bastion up to, right?
What are they doing?
You can share learnings.
You can share like valuable concepts that you're learning.
All that stuff really feels like you're just, you know,
kind of keeping up with the Kardashians, per se.
And what it does at its core is it really, you know,
kind of creates a close up relationship.
You know, I think one name that's populating around like Iman Ghazi, right?
He's built this massive personal brand, not because he talks about his
like Lambos or whatnot, it's because he's documented his journey
or just shared snippets of his life for the better part of like five plus years.
And so that's really what Instagram serves for.
Now, I want to just quickly frame you guys and show you guys the methodology
that we use within our agency and when we work with clients.
And so really the core concept of everything is content, right?
Whether that's feed content, story content, that's the core part of everything.
From there, we want to test how we can drive traffic from our content
to drive conversions, whether that's through VSL leads or whether that's through DMs.
OK, and then the last thing is traffic, right?
So at that point, once we know that, OK, we post organic content
and that leads to sales, all right, let's amplify that.
Whether that be shout out, you know, Instagram ads or just other
traffic methods, that's when we amplify it up.
And that's what most people get wrong.
They think that shout outs is the big thing or like Instagram ads are the big thing.
And they focus on the traffic component instead of the actual content.
And really, the big issue is most personal brand content looks like this.
And if we're being quite frank here, it looks pretty ----
and it doesn't look personalized, right?
And so it's generic and dull, right?
It's it's to me, at least it's very cringe.
And it lacks the very nature of knowing, liking and trusting someone,
which is having personality, showing why you're unique.
It's, you know, basically copy and paste for most people in this space.
And at the end of it, there's no real value to it.
Or as Paul just went in depth on it,
it has no story or personal reason why people should follow you.
And so I just want to give you a small reminder.
People, no matter how convinced you are that your product or service is that amazing,
when you run a personal brand or you use Instagram, YouTube,
whatever to sell stuff, people buy you and the transformation
and the person that you are, not necessarily a product and service.
But I personally didn't buy an agency program because I thought, wow,
a marketing agency is so amazing.
No, I just wanted to have the lifestyle that came from it.
Then the three traits of a personal brand is really like you want to have value first.
So the biggest thing is like a lot of people, they have dreams,
hopes, insecurities or fears, right?
We want to address those through content because it gives people value.
If I watch a piece of content where somebody talks about focus
and it's something that I internally really struggle with,
that to me comes across as really valuable,
which now that person has some form of authority over me when I,
you know, continue to watch them.
Second of all, it is personality driven.
This is something that really Hormozy popularized a lot.
It's like, it's not the, you should do this.
It's I do this, right?
Because it's, it doesn't feel like I'm lecturing you guys on what to do.
It feels like, hey, I'm just telling you what works for me, which again,
from a sales perspective, it feels less salesy and it feels more like,
oh, this person's just, you know, sharing what works for them.
Next up is just a strong and relatable story, right?
Paul, for example, great example is really strong story.
A lot of the marketing or content that we do for him centers around that.
It's been our most viral stuff as well.
It's because people relate to him.
It's whether the I've been burnt out, whether it's the, you know,
I came from an immigrant family.
It's those type of angles that people really strongly resonate with and what
separates you apart from the nine to nine other people that are trying to sell
the same thing as you. And then lastly, you need to be unique, right?
So I think a big thing in this space is sort of like, oh, you know,
this person did X, therefore I'm going to do the exact same thing, right?
Oh, Iman's doing four day challenges. Let's do this. Oh,
Andrew Tate's doing red pill content. Let's do a red pill podcast, right?
It's like, it's, it's pretty brain dead.
And it's the number one way how you're never going to see any success with your
personal brand. And obviously, ultimately what you want to do,
and this is something nobody talks about is that different content attracts
different people. So for example,
if I post lifestyle flexes where I just go and show Lambo's watches,
travels and all that stuff,
I'm attracting a certain kind of audience that wants that thing, right?
Which means usually they're, you know, I hate to say it a bit less educated,
which makes it harder to sell.
Whereas if you post a lot of like subject matter expert stuff,
giving the app that expertise, it attracts a highly,
highly qualified audience that actually wants to buy your stuff and is more
educated from the get go. You might think of this and be like, wow, okay.
Like this somewhat makes sense. It doesn't make sense.
But how do I not my personal brand up? Okay. We're going to do that in,
you know, three simple steps. And obviously you guys can just write them down.
And then today, tonight, if you already have it, then that's great for you.
Map them out. Number one's your origin story. Paul spoke about this, right?
It's a really key concept because ultimately what you always want to lead with,
if you sell through your personal brand is I went from this,
which is a state where you were at that your target audience is at to this,
which is like the transformation, right?
Paul went from burnt out cop nine to fiver to where I'm at now, right?
Financially free. The second thing is like accomplishments. Ultimately, you know,
I say that Lambo shouldn't be a flex, but you want to flex a bit. I mean,
it's worked really well for us in terms of,
you have an accomplishment that seems crazy to the average person that people
are like, wow, this can't comprehend that you want to flex it, right?
You know, you were, you had the rags to riches story. Talk about it. You have,
you know, financially freedom. Like, cool. I mean,
I think Jaime one piece of content that ducks out from you was like taking your
granddad for a spin in the Rari, right?
Like it's stuff like that that people can visualize themselves doing and they
want to do it themselves. And I think that really attracts good people.
The next thing is like challenges, right? I think in this space,
a lot of people just talk about how amazing they are. Like, Oh, Hey,
look how rich I am and how great I am.
But not a lot of people show the downsides of it. It's the,
Hey, I struggled with this or like actually faced this trauma or whatever.
Talking about those things is, you know, pretty important.
Now the downside with that, and I want to mention it,
just don't make this a pity party where you're like, Oh,
I struggled with this or like, you know,
just fall down to like saying the most atrocious stuff just to get attention
because that quickly goes back to being cringe.
And ultimately it's the opinions you hold. So, I mean,
Tate obviously became very famous with this,
but it's not necessarily that only it can be stuff as, you know, if you,
if you believe the 401k in the U S is an absolute scam, talk about it.
And make sense of it. Don't just say it's a scam and it's stupid. Instead,
you should stake it in crypto. Like, yeah,
nobody's going to take you serious, right?
But your opinion needs to be a compelling argument that actually makes sense and
can be comprehended by the average educated individual.
Now the second thing is three pillars.
The reason I bring this up is key because people just talk about these random
things. Oh, I'm opposed about self-development.
I'm going to talk about like real estate.
Then I'm going to do a deep crypto dive.
And then I'm going to talk about like becoming a high value man or high value
woman. No, it doesn't work like that, right?
Your brand needs to be sort of like this chart here.
You need to have three topics and they all need to somewhat intersect with each
other. I'm going to give you a great example of James.
He's in the Airbnb space and he sort of ties all these three topics together.
And so for him, the three things are family, right?
He's huge on spending time with his kids, spending time with his wife,
having a good relationship. So that's really one pillar.
Second one is real estate, whether that's buying property, you know,
bad practices in real estate or just that type of stuff.
And number three, personal finance.
Now what do you realize is that they all tie into this very same thing,
right? Kind of what people want.
And what you got to understand is like, if you just talk about real estate,
the total addressable market that you can get off of just real estate is really
small, but personal finance, which is a much bigger sector, right?
You can reach more people and they all kind of want the same thing still.
So you can actually reach a broader audience or a bigger audience as a whole by
having three subtopics that all confine to the same thing.
And now the way this looks is a few good examples is for example, Tom Cruise,
for those who don't know him, he's basically doing section eight.
He flexes like his cars. He flexes his yacht. He flexes all that stuff,
but he all brings it back into the one topic,
which is buy section eight properties.
So the U S taxpayer finances your things, right?
And so it's having these types of messages that whatever you talk about makes
sense and comes back to the same connotation is incredibly crucial. Or another one,
one of our clients, Robert Oliver, he talks about e-comm a lot.
He talks about potential Amazon brands.
He talks about like how a man should behave or whatever in 2024,
he talks about a lot of deep things and he ties it back into like building
generational wealth and becoming like an actually making something out of your
life. So once again, all these things there,
they kind of combine together and have like this North star that you can orient
yourself on. I'll skip the last two. I mean,
Hermosa doesn't really need an introduction, right? He has his own persona,
the gym, the business, all that stuff.
It really fits into the overall brand image that he's giving away.
And now let's put this into action for a second. Okay.
So when you want to take your story, right, let's say,
and you want to create into compelling content,
you got to be able to articulate yourself and it comes to be like, Hey guys,
I was really poor and I'm really rich and yeah, by my course, right?
It's not really how it works, but it's, it's sort of like taking them on a journey.
So, you know, if you look at Paul's thread here,
which basically like my staff member,
he became homeless after investing in real estate, you know,
for weeks he was living on the streets and then he made this amazing
transformation. Now, one,
it could be people who financially aren't in a good position, right?
You get to people that invested into real estate or it could just be someone who
was an employee and was in a ---- situation. There's three target avatars.
You can target with one little hook. And so from there,
it obviously reaches people a lot quicker. And if you can,
if you tell the story in an interesting way and have a clear put outcome where,
you know, in this case, ATMs, ATMs are the big thing that like,
get you out of the rut. People will walk away thinking like, Oh ----,
maybe for me, ATM is the best vehicle to kind of go about.
And so it's the same thing here, right?
You just want to create that content where people start to weigh your opinion
more. So a great example that I like to give is I could,
I could copy every single one of her Moses videos, step-by-step word for word.
It would not get any of the reach or any of the conversions because I'm not her
Mosey, right? Cause there's context to it.
Whereas if you continuously share your story out,
when you give a certain kind of advice or you put out certain kinds of content,
a lot of people will go like, Oh ----,
that actually makes sense because of this context. And so that's why, you know,
your story is essentially key. Same expertise and authority.
It's you want to show that you're successful and you want to back it up with
numbers. A lot of people just say like, Hey, I became a millionaire,
but they're not willing to do the breakdowns. Hey,
let me show you a transparent booking of your Airbnb.
Let me actually go and see a tax return, right? In like the sales industry.
Let me see those hard facts and breakdowns that actually show how you making
that money. It's easy for me to go and say, Hey guys, I made 10 mil last month.
Right now I'm going to just talk about it and I'm going to be real credible.
If somebody asked for my bank statement, it shows I did it right.
You want to prevent that because that's just one thing that the industry is
tracking down on hard right now.
And you want to be able that whatever you say you can back up because otherwise
you're going to get busted just like that. Um,
and that's really the two things. The last thing is personality.
You don't have to be this like boring person that just talks about the business
model or whatever. You can be funny, right? I think we had this one guy,
we had a junk removal company,
which is probably the worst business I could imagine starting,
but he basically looked at it and he was like, you know,
my granddad used to say one man's trash is another man's treasure.
And he made a lot of people laugh and it went pretty viral because people thought
like, that's actually funny.
And a lot of people with that had to admit themselves like, ----,
if I want to be successful and I'm too cool to pick up people's trash,
then am I really serious about success? And so, you know,
just the personality stuff gets a lot of people actually out of ruts or it gets
them closer to you where they're like, yup,
this is the person I'm going to listen to. And so when they listen to you,
you can tell them you are dumb if you don't buy my problem program.
And they're going to be like, I don't want to be dumb,
so I'm going to buy your program. And that's the ultimate goal here.
Now when it comes to all that stuff, it might be a bit overwhelming,
but really from a holistic perspective,
we have three types of content that we want to post for our clients and in
general for you to go and attract, nurture, and convert people.
Because we all know it's not just like somebody sees a video or a post and
they're like, yep, I'm a go invest 5k, 10k into a coaching program, right?
So it needs a bit more than that. The three ones are really like this.
They do content follower sales. So they post a piece of content,
they hope to get followers off of it.
And then they have two or three setters or VAs that just harass the living ----
out of every person who's liked a piece of content,
which it might get you to like 20, 30, 40k,
but it's not really going to go get you to like that 100, 300, 500k months.
Right? So here's kind of what we do is we have three types of content,
which is top of funnel, middle of funnel and bottom of funnel, right?
So the lead gen aspect is by the time somebody sees a lead gen post,
they hopefully, or when they respond to one,
they hopefully have consumed a few, you know, middle of funnel content,
and have definitely found us from the top of funnel.
Now let's go and break that down because I personally always hated when people
threw these terms around because it's just so vague.
I had no clue what it meant and we just kind of found it out through like data
analysis. But really top of funnel content is like attracting new people.
So when you think about it, like if you just draw an imaginary big circle,
that's like the total market in like the biz op make money online space. Right?
So you want to create content for that massive segment and to create content for
that massive segment,
you got to do a transformation because that's what people love to watch on
social media. You got to create like the, you know,
financial outcomes or that type of stuff where half of the normies go,
ha that's cap. I'm going to go and hate on you in the comments.
Or people go, Oh, that's so inspiring. Like, let me, let me share some love.
Right. You really want to have like those two polarizing options.
Paul is so kindly and does us a favor and usually argues with people in the
comments or claps back, which really helps the engagement. But as a whole,
you really want to go and have content that gets people in and they don't need
to know about it because if all you're doing is like, Hey,
here's how my Airbnb property makes this much money.
A lot of people might get confused, you know, like, Hey,
here's how my SMMA client paid me 20 grand last month.
It's going to confuse people.
You really got to pick them up where they're like problem,
unaware solution, unaware, they have no clue. And you know,
it's interesting to normies from there. You want to nurture people,
which is like when they follow you, they think, okay,
this person may have something, but you know,
there's a lot of people that may have something.
So I would kind of want to filter that out.
And from there you want to kind of create content that actually adds value to
them. Or let's say two of my friends,
they run an SMMA coaching program and they have a different way of like doing
lead gen. So it's like, okay, break down your lead gen method.
Like give away a ---- ton of value where people be like, holy ----.
Other people charge for this much money. You know,
let me actually go give this away because you got to remind yourself 95% of
people, you can give away your entire course free.
They're not going to take action. It's just, you know,
one of those things where people love to consume, but not to take action.
And if you can show them that what you've showed them in top of funnel actually
works, you know, it has substance and, you know,
can actually change their lives.
They're actually going to start warming up to the idea of, Oh,
this is actually like pretty cool. And that leads us to the bottom of funnel.
Bass is Bass's favorite by a far because he posted like given every single day,
what we call like a two-step lead gen, right? It's at this point,
you want to just be super flagrant in terms of like, listen,
if you want X outcome, just fricking raise your hands. Right.
Or you can do it in a bit of a more hidden way,
which is actually something I'm going to dive in a bit deeper,
which is a lot of people now have created this little barrier where they either
put a thread,
which is like a carousel on Instagram and they provide a ton of value.
And then at the end there's like a, Hey, DM me whatever keyword. And you know,
let's see if we can work,
which is a bit more hidden because it doesn't feel like you're selling on the
front end or which is a recent trend is a lot of guys that create these videos
or like threats. And then they say, Hey, comment, whatever keyword.
And I'm going to send you this resource, which is genius for two ways. Well,
number one, you get much more comments, right?
And then you obviously make your ---- pop off if it's good. And number two,
what actually happens is you can have many chat automatically send a DM.
I know most of you guys notice, but if you send something like a notion doc,
or whatever, which is my personal favorite, it really feels human to people,
which means they're going to opt into your email funnel.
So now you can harass them through emails. But number two,
what you can do is you can literally start this conversation of like, Hey,
I had a chance to like check out my ebook or Hey, how was the training for you?
Do you enjoy that?
And you start this like regular conversation where you gradually ascend them to a
sales conversation, but they don't even know what's happening. Right.
Cause we're in this digital marketing world where we see that that's a clear
lead gen post for people that are like, Oh, this guy's giving like crazy value.
Right. I think to me it was, it was puzzling. Cause I,
cause I studied this a lot, you know,
you must run these four day challenges and everyone in internet space goes,
okay, here we go. Another round. Right. And in the comments on YouTube,
half the people are like, Oh my God, he's so generous.
Like how's he giving all this stuff away for free?
He's not even selling anything.
And so it just shows you that the average consumer has zero clue what's going on.
And so you really want to take advantage off of that and kind of prey on them in
a sense. Sounds bad, but that's just the name of the game. Now, really,
I don't think there's a perfect ratio. You know,
I think if you had a hundred thousand followers come in the last month,
you want to obviously adjust that, right?
You can't just have a perfect ratio of like nurture to attraction to conversion
content. But personally speaking,
what we like to do with agency clients is 60% top of funnel.
So you can really focus on like getting people in 30% middle of funnel.
And 10% bottom of the funnel. Now there's one thing I kind of left out.
I forgot to put in, but a key step in that,
especially the middle and bottom of the funnel are stories, right?
And I'm going to just quickly move you guys over here.
And so what usually happens is from an algorithmic standpoint,
it's like somebody becomes like a follower, right?
Then they kind of see your content. Sorry for my bad handwriting,
but so they start seeing your content, right? At this point,
like they sort of know who you are,
but they still don't know whether they should trust you or you know what they
should do. Now, whenever they, you know, either like,
save or like just comment, right? It shows the algorithm that like, Hey,
this person's actually interested in my stuff,
which means they see more of your content.
And the more they invest with your content over time,
they're going to be shown your stories.
And what happens is when they show you the stories, right?
It's really sort of the intimate part.
You want to really just document your life.
You don't want to put up a daily post. Hey, you're looking for five more people,
right? Because at that point you add zero value to them.
And this is really like sort of your fans, right?
Those are the people that take time to watch your content.
They've really engaged with stuff. And so by leveraging your stories properly,
and if they watch them every single day, they're going to pop up.
If you open Instagram, they're going to pop up on the very left side.
So you're going to pop up on the very left side every time you post your
stories, which means you're going to get more views,
which means when you actually pitch, you're going to get a ton more DMS as well.
And so with that,
you really want to use the stories to sort of like make like feed into like the
whole, this is what I'm doing. Here's how I'm running my business.
Here's the results I'm getting. And just all of that good stuff.
Or like you give them an extra five,
10 opportunities to say this one thing that they really resonate with, right?
It can be an, and it sounds really stupid saying,
but even when you do a Q and A and like you respond to a Q and A,
we have people like messaging, like, Oh my God,
I thank you so much for taking the time to respond.
Like it was a bloody setter that did the responding. But for them, it's like a,
wow, like this person took the time to respond to me.
And you really create like hardcore relationship. Now, when I say this,
I just want to make something clear. This is not something you do it for a month.
And it works, right? This is something where you do it for three, six, nine,
12 months. And it's really going to pay into fruition.
Cause it's something that grows exponentially, not just linearly.
Now let's scale it and do what we did here,
which is our really the basics level one with the right efforts, right?
And there's really two mistakes that I generally see, whether that's with clients,
whether that with other people in the space that they're making,
which is number one, lack of leads, right? They don't get enough followers.
They don't get enough traction. They don't have anything pop up.
And number two, this is something we're seeing within the agency sales teams,
horrendous sales teams, you know,
fat cat closers that refuse to get on with leads that have less than 50 K and
verbally agreed to the purchasing price already, right? It's my, my, my,
my favorite type of calls, but those are really the two big calls.
And we're just going to quickly address that.
My biggest thing is people start and they go straight into shout outs because
shout outs are the hottest thing, right? Our entire business runs off of shout
outs, you know, we're fairly decent at them, I guess, but really for us,
the biggest validation of, of it comes from organic content.
If you can't get yourself, and I think bass bass agrees probably with my
philosophy there.
If you can't get the offer from zero to a hundred K per month with organic
one, you might be a shitty marketer or two.
You might just not quite have the perfect offer,
which means you need to tweak your, your, your stuff, right?
You can get at least on a very easy basis, regardless of your niche,
offer servings to 50 K a month. But unless you're a top 1% trader,
the organic side will never truly scale for you. Now, with that said,
the solution is not shout out, shout out, just to be very clear here. Okay.
It's, it just feels like that every people,
every person that does shout outs just thinks that that's the Holy grail, right?
It's kind of like with Facebook ads where people were like, Oh,
if I just run a Facebook ads, like my business is going to scale drastically.
And what do you need to understand with shout outs is you borrow someone's
audience, which means essentially,
it's just a reflection of the broader people's opinion.
Meaning if your baseline content sucks, you know,
if you have bad content that gets zero engagement and people don't like it,
shout outs are not going to fix that. You know,
it's kind of like if you have bad ad creative spending more money on it,
it's probably not going to help you out. And so, you know,
you can have the biggest budget shout out budget on planet earth and still not
make sense. So you really want to master the basics first,
which again, just bringing it back to what I said in the beginning,
master the organic side of contents, right? Where you have good reels,
which probably bring in a lot of your traffic, right? You have good threads,
which are really great for nurturing conversion.
I like some tweets or memes, which just make people laugh,
kind of build your personality, right? And show you're an actual human being.
From there,
you want to then leverage stories and your feed content to drive inbound leads.
And then once you have those basics in,
once you actually get that part and you get sales off of it, start amplifying it.
This can be shout outs, but, but I'm being very honest with you guys.
It's pretty hard out there. You need to have a full-time team running this.
Otherwise you're probably going to burn money unless you want to have basic
creatives, but there's other really good avenues that we've kind of discovered.
So, you know, some niches, videographers are like barbers.
There's different niches out there. They don't work with shout outs,
simple as that. But if you want to amplify the chronic,
you can just boost your best performing content, right?
You can do story shares. Like if you,
let's say you have an e-com and you have a bunch of people that have an e-com
interested audience,
you can just have them share your content on their story and kind of boost the
algorithm that way.
Or you can do simple story ads where it's basically like, Hey, my name's X,
I've achieved whatever outcome you've achieved.
And I'm breaking down everything that school is not teaching you, right?
If you want to learn more, just check out my profile for more.
So super simple ways to amplify it because I want to give you two reminders.
You should matter. You should focus on what matters most, right?
Unless you have like a good team, right? Which is,
which is hard to find but doable or if a good agency,
you are probably going to struggle to get really,
really top notch results because I don't think anyone here is like happy with
like, you know, 50 K moms or whatever. In the long run,
we want to go to like the big, big numbers. Right.
And the second thing is like as a business owner,
you also shouldn't be out here like writing threats and like, you know,
basically like trying to coordinate with like these shout out pages.
You should just be focused on like a growth strategy that takes 30,
20, 30 minutes a day, you know,
unless you're like already deep in the game and really focused on that to
compound. And number two, this is an amplifier.
Content is 80% everything else is 20%. So really for you guys, you know,
and there's a few guys in the room, we're doing it really good already.
You want to get fricking good at content first where like you get the basics,
you get the avatar you're, you're advertising to,
you get the pillars that you nailed down and you get the way of like,
you can talk on camera. You know, for myself,
I've obviously done it for clients a lot.
I recently started pushing my personal brand more and Oh my God,
am I ---- on camera? Like every time I sit down,
it feels like I'm just in therapy session. I hate every minute of it,
but I think it's just a natural thing that you're going to, right? I mean,
I remember Paul, the first three videos were recorded.
We came back and we sat there and certainly being like, yeah,
we got to go lifestyle rocks. Like the video presence ain't cutting it right now.
But yeah, like it's, it's, it's not easy, right?
But it takes time to actually go and master it.
And that's really something that a lot of people aren't willing to go and do
because they're just looking for these shortcuts because we're trying to do
everything fast and within the next 30 days. And so before we move on,
I just wanted to quickly make sure you need to create three types of content.
If you're starting out, you have no clue.
I'm just giving you three little ones that you can do, right?
Which is one transformations and please just don't copy it word for word,
bar for bar. That'd be much appreciated. Um, but it can be as simple as like,
Hey, how I went from, you know, situation A to situation B.
It can be a five-year time-lapse where you do 2015, 2016, whatever.
And you just gradually show your evolution knowing that that's the evolution that
your target audience actually wants to follow, right? Those are super simple.
They honestly work like a charm. The biggest thing, once again,
try to really find your unique way of making them work, unique visuals,
unique wording. That's really how you're going to stand out.
Number two is expertise. Honestly, from there, just a simple business breakdown.
Like, I mean, for us, it worked really well on the Airbnb side,
breaking down properties, right? If you're running an SMMA,
if you're running like a remote closer option,
like breaking down how they're going to make money,
simplifying it for them where they truly understand how the process works.
The simpler, the better. Most people, they're not, you know,
intelligent enough to comprehend everything. Last thing, opinions.
This is James' specialty. So the real interesting over here,
it's gotten over 40 million views. If you're a hardcore UK citizen,
you might not want to watch it because you're going to get really upset about it.
But it's basically just ruffling feathers, right?
Opinioning why leaving UK is the best thing ever. And the second thing is just,
you know, popularity stuff.
Like people think that buying a house is the best thing ever. We went, well,
it's actually a ---- investment to make. And it really gets people going again,
important to make an articulate point about it.
But if you can really state your opinion in a way that it pisses off the non
buyers, right? Like, and I'm gonna be very frank here.
We don't advertise to poor people.
We advertise to people that have money or have a job.
That's really who we want to advertise to.
And so I'm okay if all the normies and poor people hate on James or hate on,
you know, any of our clients. It's fine.
Cause they're giving us more reach and all actually the rich people or like the
people that are great fits, right? They're going to be like,
heck yeah, I should be in Dubai too. Why am I not in Dubai? Right?
Like why am I not in X position?
And so that's really something to deal as well with hate.
You're always going to get hate.
Just make sure you get hate from the people that are not going to be buyers.
Now I want to give a last little trick. Are you guys ready for that one? Sweet.
Now I want to pre-frame this by saying ultimately Bass is still the expert in
this, but I call this the DM indoctrination process.
We do this a bit different just because with us,
we sometimes have really high volume when stuff goes viral.
And I personally just hate seeing low performing sales team.
So I've kind of just started playing around with setters quite a bit myself.
Now the regular process is you get a DM, you get a quick little qualification,
right? You book them on a triage or call, and then you get them on a sales call.
Personally, I try to abolish that with every single client as soon as possible.
Um, if Paul doesn't,
then he's the exception because they have their stuff dialed in since day one.
But I've really hate that because from a tech perspective, from like, you know,
all these other things, it's so much complexity.
And like in a world where everyone's pushing, you just lose too many leads.
So that's one thing I've, I've personally pushed to abolish.
What we do is 50% of CTAs are actual CTAs in terms of like, Hey,
looking for five more people or like, Hey, if you want to make money,
just DM me right now because they still work, right? Still good hand raisers,
but I don't want to push them too much. Whereas the other 50% we're pushing
heavily on like just value-based stuff. Like, Hey, get this free ebook, right?
Get this free training that I've done. I've just done a live training.
Like you just do all that stuff that kind of gets people in,
they get value first so that then you can build up the relationship in the
aftermath and close people in. Now,
the second thing is sort of like we like to ask familiarity of stuff. And again,
there's some nuance to this, right? It could be location,
but I like to ask familiarity for one simple reason. Um,
so to give you guys context,
we have this one guy you come off for and we started just asking people,
how familiar are you with stuff? And then when they say, ah, no clue,
I just saw you flexing. So I just wanted to check out what's more.
We don't continue the conversation.
We send them a VSL because one of two things are going to happen.
We know that the VSL is structured in a way that if they are a good fit and
they're actually a buyer type,
they're going to watch at least 80% of the video where we actually pitch.
And then they're going to book a call. Now we're,
we're booking around with this method on low traffic volume,
about four to five calls every single day. And you'd, you'd wonder right now,
yeah, you're going to have unqualified. You're going to have to, you know,
those are just back. Yeah. I've got the third world countries in there.
You actually don't because they have a low attention span.
They actually drop out really early on and they're like, yeah,
I'm not watching this video. This leaves too competent. Whereas in our case,
a lot of people that actually, you know, want to learn, they're serious,
and they have the money to actually book through that and we get pretty decent
like show updates. It's maybe 10% unqualified,
but I personally can live with that really well.
And then for those who say they are familiar,
we just send with the process.
The cool thing about this is by putting the VSL and sort of the option to
book right at the beginning and putting the barrier of video in there,
we actually book more calls because we don't need to wait for them to respond to
us all the time. Right. Which is like my biggest pet peeve of setters is they're
not fast enough and then they're too generic. Now the fact,
the next thing is,
and if somebody can sort of solve this and you have a million dollar business at
your hands is teaching them common cells and emotional intelligence. You know,
it's for example, a good example that I've seen is some prospects,
they come in very cocky, right? They come in and think they're the ----,
you know, like just as tall, I think said earlier, like they know everything.
And you want to basically take that away from them.
So what we've done is when they give us really short answers,
we just like give them a response, something like, okay, cool. Well, you know,
I'm not sure you don't really sound serious about this.
And it honestly spirals them like crazy because they feel like their ego is
attacked and they're actually starting to sell themselves really hard.
So they go from like two words, three words,
responses to like full blown essays, what they want.
And they actually really work well. So it's,
it's kind of like teaching them not to go and be desperate, right?
Cause you've got to understand that from a status perspective,
we're supposed to be up here and the prospect is supposed to be down here.
They want to get up to us. So we can't be chasing them down with like question
marks. Like did, you know, like did you get this?
And like kind of like follow up 10 times in a row, you know,
at least for the offers that we have majority on,
we can't do that because it lowers the status of the client,
which then when they book a call is really hard to like sort of ascend that
right on the sales call. And then that's pretty much it. Now,
the last thing and I'm a run through this cause I know otherwise you guys can't
eat is just one of our clients. His name is Jeremy Minor.
We've worked with him for about two and a half years at this point. Um,
he's consistently pulling in at least a mil a month and I just want to run you
guys.
So you can sort of see this actionized in one thing through his brand, right?
So his positioning is super simple.
He's probably the most knowledgeable or like the most established sales rep in
the space. So naturally we're like, right, let's do it. Authority based.
Now a little disclaimer, if you make 20,
30 K per month for your actual business, pretty respectable.
But I think the subject matter expert angle there is pretty tough to take,
right? Just to put it out there. And so basically we were like, okay,
we're not going to focus on like flexing cars, flexing watches.
I think he's also 40s. It'd be a bit weird. Um, and so, you know,
we basically focus just on giving value. What are the skills that he's learned?
What are common downfalls? I just honestly, the whole shebang,
you guys can check out his stuff, but just super value driven.
And from there he just built up this thing where he has a strong frame,
you know? Um, and again, it was flexing authority.
He has more experience so we can leverage the experience because if he shows,
I've been in all these situations, here's how I've handled them.
It naturally gives you more exposure and it gives you more credibility when you
actually say this is wrong, what you're doing, you need to use this, right?
What we did for him is like, we gave honestly a lot of like the objection,
handling the how to cold call, like all this stuff,
which gave away in free content and like templates because people were like,
okay, cool. I have this sorted. Now I have this new problem. Okay.
So I've sorted the objection handling by still don't close deals because of X.
Well now they're coming back to Jeremy because he's obviously helped him
overcome that first obstacle and it makes the sale 10 times easier, right?
So that's really how we sort of approach the content. And once again,
this is not something where we do five pieces of content on subject matter
expert, right? And it's golden. Everyone wants to buy.
This is two years of doing this consistently.
And the last thing on the monetization expert is obviously just simple.
Last slide of a thread. See in the DMS story, same thing.
The one thing that we really, really,
really drove home at first is one of his old setters used to just go and have a
bunch of podcast episodes, a bunch of YouTube videos.
And when people struggle with problem X,
they would get an episode or a YouTube video. So like, once again, the big,
the big theme here is like they nurtured a living ---- out of people in the DMS.
The surprising thing is people will actually consume that stuff and still be open
for the sales conversation. A lot of people think we give away too much early.
They're too cold at somewhat that, you know, give away from that a bit.
But the biggest thing is here to note, he makes a crap ton of money,
not because, wow, we're so amazing. We're driving all this traffic. No.
His sales team naturally, or I hope at least is really good in terms of like
their setters are KPI driven and they're, you know, getting their stuff done.
They're rocking and loading. Right.
And like the sales team is obviously closing deals.
And I think that's the biggest thing is like where you need to go and bring down
for yourself to go and scale. You need to bring down marketing and sales.
You know, we've recently started doing that with James a lot more because we,
we, you know, had some other things we could optimize.
And we started to chat more with the head of sales in terms of like, Hey,
what angle works? Well, what, what do you guys see on the sales side?
And interestingly enough,
he brought out that they have a lot of like 50 year olds, 55 year olds who are
like, Hey, like I'm kind of make money, but I still don't have time. Right.
And I want to bridge that. And so for us, it was like, Oh,
we can actually go and bridge that by creating content of like how he would
retire. His parents are like, you know,
how can we go and address the 55 year old crowd?
Because they come in pretty cold because they probably don't want to move to
Dubai. Right. They don't want to, you know, like have a nice car,
like nice house or whatever. They just want to be financially free.
And so by having that bridge where you have marketing and sales,
communicate with them, not, not bitch at each other,
which is like a big difference, right?
Not just the closers and setters complain to marketing and vice versa,
but actually having to communicate with each other and hold them to a high
standard,
you can really scale out a lot because you're seeing angles that you haven't
untapped. You see patterns that are really valuable to see.
And all in all,
that's really one thing that they do internally a lot well, which helped us go.
Why does it work so well is because your followers gain,
they don't turn into followers right now. Right.
We've seen it where when we take on clients,
it takes two, three months for them,
for the followers we gain to turn into prospects. Right.
Because they see the content, need to engage with it,
need to really sell themselves. Cause if they see that, like, yo,
like James is printing, they're traveling, you know,
kids are doing cool stuff. F1, this, that, right. They're gonna be like, damn,
like, why am I not doing this? Like people go on Paul's stuff, right?
They go and hate a bit. And they're like, God, he's probably like another car,
like God, another like house. Like this sucks. I'm still poor. Right.
Like they're like, they're starting to reshape their mindset.
And that takes time where I did like, Oh, you know,
now it's time for me to go and take action. And really, you know,
you build trust through consistency. It's the same as in the gym.
It's the same as I guess, in relationships, it's you build over time,
the more consistent you are with showing up for your audience daily, showing up,
you know, with value where you actually nurture them,
the better your conversion is going to be over time. I think that's,
that's the biggest thing that I've learned in this game is we can do the quick
reaps. There's always going to be, you know, the, the low hanging fruits,
but really building long longevity in this entire thing is really how you're
unable to scale. Last thing is, as I said, people have FOMO,
you know, if they realized like the world's going to ----, you know,
the UK is falling apart, whatever. And like, Oh, they're leaving.
How are you able to leave? Oh, they're able to leave because of Airbnb. Well,
shoot, I need to do Airbnb. Right. Cause I want to add the same goal.
And so you really want to be consistent and like show stuff.
I'm not saying to go and say, Oh, I'm amazing. I'm way better than, you know,
that doesn't really work. Right.
But you want to just be really humble in like saying how grateful you are to be
in the position you're in. Just kind of take that angle of like, Hey,
look what I'm doing on a day to day basis.
That's going to create that, that FOMO pretty much an autopilot. And lastly,
if they message you, which means they're like lead or like whatever,
they just message you comment. And then they reach back out and be like, Hey,
like do you have a paid program? That's the most powerful frame.
Cause once again, the status difference is high and they're aware.
They're aware to like where you're at is where I want to be.
And you have what I need. So it makes an easier sell, right?
Obviously you need to still make sure they're qualified, yada yada.
But that's really sort of the, the power of the most powerful thing.
Does everything from my end,
all this kind of gives you a good overview of like how to build a personal
brand is not some get rich quick thing, right?
Is a how you can actually build a sustainable and you know,
sort of like evergreen funnel that's going to get your sales, get your customers,
but also, and this is more importantly, get you a ton of other benefits.
You know, I mean,
I've seen this with my mini brand where if we need people to unban accounts,
if we need closer setters, you know, you name it, there's a lot of leverage.
I mean, you know, a lot of our clients have seen it.
And people getting free passes, free access, right?
Networking opportunities with pretty wealthy people.
You get access into rooms that you don't have.
If you have a decent personal brand and sort of bring it back to the beginning,
the, some of the generic stuff I showed you, I can tell you already.
Now the billionaire sees that he's not going to be like, wow,
this person's real cool. I got to connect with them. No, they don't care. Right.
But if they see that you have a unique story,
they see that unique value to give,
they're probably going to be more interested in actually connecting with you.
Appreciate it guys.
