This month I've been thinking a lot about distractions and how easy it is to spend time on things that feel productive while avoiding the one thing that actually matters. I've been getting distracted by stocks and NBA bets, using AI as a weirdly effective therapist after an argument with my wife, and finally the big focus reset we're making at AppSumo. If you've been feeling scattered, stuck, or like you're busy but not really moving forward… this one's for you.
Discover the Secret Storytelling Formula That Turns Words into SalesUnlock The Storyteller Secrets and turn boring unprofitable marketing into messages people remember, trust, love, and buy from. Make your business unforgettable in just a few minutes.The Storyteller Secrets helps anyone selling any book, program, or service to tell stories that help them sell more, promote more, and build trust with strangers as well as followers.A Publishing House Needs StoriesMy first AI pass-through on this sales letter included no stories. That happens so often with AI.But stories are important if you actually want to make sales. Stories convince people. Stories give people confidence in what you have to sell.When I consulted with Unity House, the book publishing division of Unity Church, I was surprised that they weren't selling more books. They published a small magazine, Daily Word, with 4 million subscribers. They published another magazine with 200,000 subscribers. And, yet, they were selling few than 10,000 copies of most of their books. After reading six of thei books, I discovered why the books weren't selling. The authors did not tell stories. Without stories, the books had little to no word-of-mouth. Without stories, no one was telling their friends - Hey, you gotta read this book. It's incredible! The books weren't being passed along.Without that word-of-mouth, they sold a lot less books than they had expected to sell.Sell Benefits, Not FeaturesI have another client who keeps adding new features to his offer. As a result, he never actually launches his product (a good product, by the way). He has kept adding features for over two years!I keep telling him. Stop adding features. Start selling benefits!. And the best way to sell benefits is to tell stories. Stories provide heart and soul to your sales letters, blog posts, podcasts, videos, courses, and more. Stories invoke trust.And, of course, launch your course. Launch it now. Even if it's not perfect yet. Give people a chance to buy into your offering. You can always make it better. You can always upgrade it.Summit Presenters and Speakers Need StoriesLast week, I attended a summit. One of the things I've noticed about summits is that two or three of the speakers or presenters are good at telling stories and giving examples. The other 10 to 15 primarily talked about abstract ideas and facts with few or no stories.I quickly learned which speakers were storytellers and which people simply presented facts. Guess which speakers I will be following, which speaker's emails I'll pay attention to, and which speaker's offerings I am most likely to sign up for (and pay for!).Double Sales — Tell Me What It Will Do for Me!AppSumo is a wonderful online store that features various apps, software, and services that can help individuals and businesses to do things in better ways. Sadly, to sell these services, AppSumo creates videos that talk about the programs and services they sell, but their videos focus on what the app does, what it does, what it does. Over and over again, all features, few benefits.I swear, if they simply featured more stories on how people are actually using these programs to change their lives or build their businesses, they'd double sales!Sell High-Ticket Courses and Services with StoriesMy friend, Mike Koenigs, has been selling high-ticket items for more than 25 years. He does that by telling success stories — how customers are using his courses and services to get more done in less time, to sell more products and services, to build their success to the highest order.His stories inspire customers to buy his services. His stories move people to act. His stories make a difference. Your stories can also sell. Your stories can also make a difference!Book Marketing Success is a reader-supported publication.

What does it truly take to rebuild your life - and yourself - in a new country? In this deeply personal and practical episode, host Jo Stewart sits down with Hannah Balint, a UK-born yoga teacher and relocation coach, to explore what repeated international moves have taught her about identity, connection, and the courage it takes to start over. Hannah shares her remarkable journey across the UK, Vietnam, Australia, and the United States, tracing how a transformative first yoga class in Hanoi surrounded by the sounds of roosters and motorbikes sparked a career and a philosophy built around movement. From her bicultural English-Swiss upbringing to navigating visa complications in Melbourne and profound loneliness in the US, Hannah brings hard-won wisdom to every stage of the conversation. Key topics include: the surprising emotional weight of even chosen relocations and the grief that comes with leaving an identity behind; why making friends becomes significantly harder in your 30s and beyond; practical strategies for building community in a new place (including why your dog and your local barista may be your most valuable social assets); how to distinguish between moving toward something versus away from something before you go; and the role of technology in keeping long-distance friendships alive across time zones. Hannah also offers insight into her coaching work, where she helps clients — particularly accompanying partners who move for a spouse's career — navigate the internal experience of relocation, not just the logistics. Her approach centres on helping people recognise their own agency: "I have never felt more lonely than when I first moved to the US... and yet I still had agency over my choices." It is this shift in perspective, she argues, that transforms relocation from something that happens to you into something you can actively shape. Whether you are planning an international move, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about what movement — physical and geographical — can reveal about who we are, this episode offers both the practical tools and the emotional permission to navigate change with more grace and self-compassion.

We were spending $56K/year on AI tools at AppSumo. A dozen subscriptions, nobody sharing anything. So we killed all of it and put the entire company on one Claude plan. Let's go. This episode I break down exactly how we rolled out AI to every single teammate in 3 weeks, why the tool itself wasn't the secret (the shared platform we built on top was), and the wild stuff that happened when non-technical people started building their own automations. From our deal of the day going from 25 minutes to 60 seconds, to our payroll specialist who'd never opened terminal building skills in her first week. In this conversation you'll enjoy 3 BIG things: How we saved $32K/year by killing every AI subscription and going all-in on one platform — and the exact 3-day rollout we used to get full adoption The real use cases that are changing how AppSumo operates — deal cards in 60 seconds, BD running everything from one screen, and our CMO shipping 6 AI skills in a single week Why the Slack channel #ai_daily became our secret weapon and how horizontal learning (not top-down training) is what actually drives AI adoption Enjoy these 3 things plus many nuggets along the way. My book Million Dollar Weekend breaks down how to start a business in simple steps you can do in one weekend. I also send brutally honest emails about business and life.

Favour Obasi-ike, MBA, MS hosts a two-part live session from the Marketing Club on Clubhouse, joined by Brian (digital marketing), Liverpool (social media), Angelique (commercial lending startup), and others. The conversation covers how to build product and service pages that rank on search engines, the three stages of buyer awareness (problem aware, solution aware, product aware), why 82% of websites worldwide are outdated, the four types of media (owned, paid, shared, earned), how Google Reviews impact rankings, and tools like Nudgify, Switchy.io, and SEMrush for building brand awareness online.Key TakeawaysBuild from the ground up, not the roof down. Your website needs keyword-rich URL slugs, proper H1-H6 heading structure, and semantic keywords before any social media push.Three stages of buyer awareness drive every sale. Problem aware (they search Google), solution aware (they land on your page), product aware (they recognize your brand as the answer).82% of 1.9 billion websites have not been updated in 6 months. Update your website daily to signal the algorithm that your business is active.Use the CNN model. Never give the full story on social media. Drive people to your website for the complete content, just like major news outlets do.Google Reviews are a major ranking factor. Keep them fresh, avoid all five-star reviews (looks moderated), and embed them on your site using tools like Nudgeify.Master the four types of media. Owned (your content), Paid (ads), Shared (social platforms), and Earned (press/features). Start with owned media and build toward earned.Memorable Quotes"You don't build a house from the roof down. You build from the ground up." — Favour [07:30]"82% of 1.9 billion websites have not been updated in the last six months." — Favour [101:03]"If CNN gave you the full story on Instagram, would you go to their website? No." — Favour [118:24]"SEO is not a one-size-fits-all. It's not a cookie cutter machine." — Favour [71:17]"The better the connection, the better the frequency. The better the frequency, the better the energy." — Favour [119:14]FAQsShould I focus on products or services for my website?Both need dedicated keyword-rich pages. Each product or service should have its own page with text, video, images, pricing, and FAQ so search engines can index them individually.How often should I update my website?Daily if possible. Even once a week puts you ahead of the 82% of websites that go six months without an update. Every update signals the algorithm that your business is active.What tools were recommended?Nudgify (social proof popups), Switchy.io (UTM codes, link shortening, pixel tracking — $39 on AppSumo), SEMrush (keyword research), and Google Business Profile for reviews.How do I build brand awareness from scratch?Start with owned media on your website. Answer the questions your audience is searching for. Then distribute to social media, collect emails, and build toward earned media like press features.Book SEO Services?

What does it take to build a million-subscriber YouTube channel, launch a best-selling book, and then walk away from it all for over a year? Noah Kagan, founder of AppSumo, joins Nathan to candidly discuss his journey from full-throttle content creation to a deliberate pause. Noah shares the unexpected internal and external pressures that came with his meteoric rise on YouTube, the strategic decisions that led to viral success, and why, despite achieving his goals, he ultimately stepped back. This conversation offers a rare glimpse into the mindset of a creator who prioritized personal fulfillment over endless growth, and how that decision reshaped his approach to content, business, and life.Timestamps:00:00 Introduction02:26 The decision to go all-in on YouTube05:15 Noah's internal motivations for content creation07:38 Building the YouTube "dream team"10:14 The early content strategy and challenges13:17 The pivotal "Knocking on Doors" video16:45 The cost of rapid growth and Noah's burnout19:10 The successful content pillars uncovered22:18 The meticulous planning behind viral videos25:34 Seeking timeless wisdom: interviewing the wealthy28:22 Noah's biggest regret with the channel30:58 Finding repeatable content formats33:55 Identifying your unique content edge37:25 The appeal of raw, unpolished content40:31 The impact of fatherhood on content creation43:10 Noah's vision for future content creation45:47 The value of a public presence for business48:29 The challenge of building internal influencers51:04 Brainstorming content ideas for Kit54:20 The power of high-caliber speakers57:38 Content that ties directly to your business1:00:27 Noah's current content philosophy1:02:40 On Twitter: counterintuitive long storiesIf you enjoyed this episode, please like and subscribe, share it with your friends, and leave a review.

Guest Bio: Ivana Taylor has spent 35 years translating complex marketing into simple, executable strategies. She's the founder of DIYMarketers.com, where she helps entrepreneurs compete without enterprise budgets. She's a self-described AI power user who tests tools for six hours a day. And she's built follow-up systems for everyone from manufacturing companies to consultants. Key Points: AI has fundamentally changed prospecting and outreach—making it faster, cheaper, and more targeted—but only when combined with clear strategy and direct sales fundamentals. The Old Way Is Broken Cold outreach traditionally means endless spreadsheets, bad or outdated contact data, spray-and-pray marketing (webinars, lead magnets, mass email blasts), and huge time investment with little guarantee of ROI. Buying lists or relying solely on inbound marketing is increasingly ineffective. What Still Works Direct sales and direct outreach remain the most reliable growth strategy. Success starts with absolute clarity on your Ideal Prospect; industry, role/title, geography and specific expertise or problem area. Without this clarity, AI just produces faster garbage. How AI Changes Prospect List Building AI dramatically reduces the manual labor of prospect research. Instead of hours of Googling and data entry AI can find names, companies, websites, social profiles, and sometimes contact info and AI can organize data into usable spreadsheets. AI works best in small-to-medium batches (10–50 at a time). Tools Mentioned for Prospecting & Enrichment General AI platforms (for defining criteria and searching): ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. Spreadsheet & research automation: GenSpark (noted for strong spreadsheet creation) Data enrichment & contact info (especially B2B): Apollo.io, Hunter.io, Clay.com Outreach & CRM tools: Nimble.com (emails sent directly through Gmail for 1:1 feel) Deal-finding for tools: AppSumo (one-time purchase tools) What AI Can (and Can't) Do AI can build targeted prospect lists faster. Find websites, LinkedIn profiles, phone numbers, and some emails. Segment prospects by expertise or role. Reduce human error in outreach sequences. Ai can't guarantee perfect data (bounces still happen). Replace human judgment. Eliminate the need to review and understand each prospect. Best Practices for AI-Powered Prospecting Always review and "get your hands dirty" with the data. Read prospect websites and make personal notes. Expect some bad data—scrubbing is still required. B2B data is far easier to find than consumer data. Free versions of tools are sufficient to test and validate workflows. Outreach Strategy Matters Use AI to support structured outreach sequences, not spam. Follow a 3–5 touch email sequence. Personalization improves responses. Segment based on expertise, role, or interest. Automation reduces mistakes while preserving a personal tone.
