Over the past year, we’ve seen “proven” marketing strategies (that worked well for many years) drop in effectiveness dramatically while other tactics worked really well. There’s also been a shift in buying behavior that will likely continue through the current recession. Simply put, there’s been a lot of change in the market, and this is
If you’ve been a follower of mine for any amount of time, you probably know I’d love to see entrepreneurship taught in high schools. I’m a huge advocate of providing more opportunities to kids after high school (other than college). And on this episode of the podcast, I’m speaking to someone who’s creating change now!
While there are many positives to owning a course-based business, it’s far from easy. When I first got started in this space, I thought it would be easy. I imagined a funnel you turned on once and barely had to revisit where sales came with ease and customers were anonymous. Spoiler alert: It’s nothing like
If you want to have a powerful message, you need to be a powerful person, even in the face of adversity. And today’s guest, voice actress and business owner Jennifer Hale is the perfect example. Just a few years ago, she went through a pretty big ordeal with a “hater” online about something that wasn’t
Your messaging, first and foremost, should be profitable. While it’s great to be clear and communicate exactly what you’re selling… your messaging, most importantly, should be designed to drive sales. In fact, great messaging helps you both close customers and grow your business. If people aren’t reaching out to work with you before you pitch,
This year brought lots of change for me and my business. For us, our amazing integrator, Taylor, left the business (on wonderful terms), I moved from my home state to Arizona, we shifted the business to a high-ticket evergreen model, and we’re trying things we never did before. If you had told 2021 Brandon all this
Over the past four years, we’ve focused more on paid ads than we have on growing organically. While I love organic growth (and believe you must have both organic and paid in your business for optimal results), paid ads will help you scale faster. In fact, we’ve spent over $1.1 million on ads, scaled quickly,
There are a few elements of building your online business that I don’t typically talk about. Some of these elements include how to use a story in your messaging and how to create an offer. My guest specializes in telling stories that are designed for conversions and crafting offers that sell with ease. He’s helped
Many of you have heard the story of how I went from $40,000 in debt to a million-dollar business. But I haven’t shared the “why” behind it. Yes, I’ve shared some of the how and the strategic details. However, I want to go deeper. In this episode of the podcast, I’m sharing the 9 business
In this episode, I’m sitting down with a New Generation Mastery Coach, Susan Choi, who helps sensitive leaders, executives, and entrepreneurs learn how to achieve emotional and identity mastery. And, especially since the past few years have been intense for everyone, she’s sharing how to deal with difficult emotions. What’s tricky is sometimes we’ll make
“Brandon, how do I attract more buyers into my funnel?” I get this question all the time. And here’s the truth: even with a great offer, only 2.5-5% of the people in your funnel are ever going to buy. That’s just how conversion works. So if your sales are falling flat, it’s usually not a
Ever feel like you’re preaching into the void? You launch your solution, shout about the features… and hear crickets. They’re not ignoring you they just can’t see why they need it. I used to do the same thing: start at the finish line. Pitch first, connect later. No wonder nobody tuned in. In today’s world,
Ever felt like you’re pouring great content into the void and getting crickets in return? That was me until I realized I was skipping the most critical step in marketing: the bridge. Imagine you’re driving 40 mph and your car starts shaking. A sign that reads “We fix timing belts” won’t make you stop you
When I started teaching this four years ago, I’d ask people, “Is your messaging off?” and get blank stares. Nobody knew what messaging even was. They just knew their content wasn’t working. So I changed one thing. I started saying: “Is your content filled with great information, but you’re not seeing the sales or engagement?
I’ll be honest I didn’t want to talk about AI this year. I thought it would steal the human magic from messaging. But after testing it, I’ve seen its power…and its pitfalls. Back when I started, writing killer copy meant years of mastery. Now, everyone jumps into ChatGPT, types “write my Facebook ad,” and wonders
Have you ever blasted out a perfect product pitch… only to hear crickets? I’ve been there. When I first taught messaging, I’d ask, “Want to fix your messaging?” Their response? Blank stares. Because they didn’t even know messaging was the problem. They knew their content wasn’t landing. They knew they were getting zero engagement. So
