Creating a Summit Aș a co-host of The Next 100 Days Podcast, it would be understandable to think he did nothing else, but quietly he's been creating a summit called The 2023 Alternative Investment Summit. Kevin Appleby had kept tabs on Graham's activities and thought it might be a good idea to share some of the learnings Graham has garnered through the process of creating a summit. Podcast Summary Kevin and Graham discussed the process of setting up a summit and the importance of providing value to the audience. Graham shared his experience of attending the Funnel Hacking Live conference in Orlando in September 22. It dawned on Graham the potential of using a summit to reverse the traditional marketing approach and attract interested participants. Creating a Summit The challenges of organising a virtual summit with multiple guest speakers. Graham had to learn many new skills. A big challenge (surprisingly) was to persuade experts in the field to participate in the summit. The Summit required a lot of effort and planning. Graham was helped by investing in Bailey Richert's Virtual Summit School training. Financial Model Graham and Kevin talked about the financial model of a summit, which involves earning revenue through affiliate commissions and introducing new clients to the speakers' products. The mainstay of income from this particular summit, will be from introducer commissions from summit registrants choosing to invest in speaker opportunities. They explored the idea of offering an all-access pass at different price levels - before the summit (£39), during the summit (£49) and after the summit (£59). The summit is helped commercially through a commitment to promote by each speaker. A Jacob's Join. Kevin mentioned the potential for sponsorship as an additional income stream in future events. Technical Aspects of Creating a Summit The importance of using ClickFunnels and its features like Backpack for affiliate commission tracking. They also mentioned the need for Vimeo for private video hosting. ActiveCampaign is being used for autoresponder emails and email marketing. Stripe is used as the payment processor for registration payments. One challenge was accurately capturing closed captions for videos. Up to a point Fathom has been very helpful in creating transcripts and closed captions. Clips from the Podcast Did you notice? As a result of an internet outage, Graham had to record this podcast by mobile phone tethering!

And I am very, very blessed today to introduce everybody to Dr. Ian Hoffman. Welcome Dr. Dr. Hoffman.Ian Hoffman 00:35Thanks, Mischa glad to be here.Mischa Zvegintzov 00:36Yeah, fantastic. So we chatted very briefly, maybe a week or two ago, when we were setting this up. And, and it's a big gift from for me to have you on here. Because whether you know it or not, you are a massive inspiration for me. And actually, ultimately, the creation of this show, because via mutual friends, you know, I started getting introduced to funnels, webinars, all this stuff. And, and, and this mutual friend was like, oh, yeah, you know, my buddy, effectively, Ian you know, has just doing amazing stuff. And I was just captivated. Right? I was like, "Oh, my God". This is a two to three years ago. So to have you on. Super awesome. So thank you for joining.Ian Hoffman 01:27It's my pleasure. I'm so happy to hear that.Mischa Zvegintzov 01:29Yeah. So real quick. You have a you have a, a program, and it's called the Student Loan Eraser. Correct? Yeah. Fantastic. And so go ahead. Tell me quickly. Tell me about that. And then let's, let's talk about how you how you came to that and were able to bring it to market?Mischa Zvegintzov 01:54Sure. It's definitely a passion project of mine. You know, how it's a there are, I just feel like it was it was what I was put on this planet to do right now, which isn't an amazing feeling. So I'm actually a chiropractor to get into backstory. Yeah, dad's a chiropractor. Both of his brothers are chiropractors, I was born into that also. And I love being a chiropractor. And so what happened was, I was man, like three years into practice. My son was just born, I just came back to the office after taking a couple weeks off. And this, this pregnant mom came in as a new patient.Ian Hoffman 02:37And she brought her four year old daughter to the appointment. And this little girl had stage four cancer. That's the first thing that this mom said to me is my, my little girl. I lost it. I couldn't. I couldn't imagine no parent should have to go through that no child should have to go through that. So to make a long story short, that little girl really inspired me to actually start a nonprofit organization, a charity to expand access to chiropractic and holistic health care for underserved in my community.Ian Hoffman 03:09And as I was going through that process, it was right around the same time that I was really doing some research online about my student loans because I have a lot of debt. I remember having this. I hope I can say this this "Oh, shit moment."Ian Hoffman 03:28Because I remember I had I had just bought a house and between my wife myself, and our student loans, our cars, our mortgage, we had over a million dollars in debt. And that's a heavy weight? That's a heavy weight on somebody's shoulders. Yeah.Mischa Zvegintzov 03:44So how old were you at the time? Oh, man,Mischa Zvegintzov 03:47I'm 29, 30 years old. 30, 31. Something around there? Yeah.Mischa Zvegintzov 03:55And a young child. That's, that's heavy.Ian Hoffman 03:58Yeah, it was heavy.Ian Hoffman 03:59So when I started reading about this federal program called public service, loan forgiveness... I... I... My heart kind of skipped a beat. I had first read about it before I had even had this idea to start a nonprofit. And so there's only three requirements. But one of the major requirements is that you have to have qualifying employment, you have to work for the government or a nonprofit, to be eligible. And then once I had started my own nonprofit, I had this kind of Eureka moment that I might have reverse engineered my own eligibility. And that's exactly what happened. So, you know, fast forward a couple years from there, I wound up starting the student loan eraser, I put together this whole team, and we help doctors start charities with a dual purpose, which is to make the world a better place and get their student loans erased.Mischa Zvegintzov 04:52That's amazing.Ian Hoffman 04:54Thank you.Mischa Zvegintzov 04:54Oh, my gosh.Ian Hoffman 04:56Yeah, it's been quite a process. The transition wasn't easy. I was in practice full time, coming home, you know, having dinner with my family, they would go to bed, I'd be up till sometimes two, three in the morning. Writing the webinars writing the emails, just getting the infrastructure together reading.com secrets. Just feeding my, my, my my mind and getting educated on how to launch an online program because it's something I'd never done before.Mischa Zvegintzov 05:22So So you have the Epiphany, you're like, oh, my gosh, I can I am, you're in the middle of creating this nonprofit, you, you. You, you find out.Mischa Zvegintzov 05:34Here's a way for me to erase my debt, which if you don't mind me asking, What was that number for you? What was the chunk of that of your total debt?Ian Hoffman 05:42I borrowed around 150,000. And it was only going up because most doctors are on an income driven repayment plan, where their monthly payment is actually less than the than the debt, or I'm sorry, less than the interest. And so what happens is that on these income driven plans, they'll pay for 25 years. And at that point, anything that's left is forgiven, but the forgiven debt gets taxed as income. And so once once I heard that I'm like, Man, "this is a this is a black hole". Because I'm gonna just pay for, you know, till I'm 5560 years old. And at that point, I would still have a six figure tax bill.Mischa Zvegintzov 06:27And you're at the 40%, maybe the your, your, whatever, the gradient tax bracket is 40%. SoIan Hoffman 06:35Oh, yeah, that's in California. So between federal and state taxes, it probably would have been closer to 50%.Mischa Zvegintzov 06:41Man.Ian Hoffman 06:42Yeah, crazy.Mischa Zvegintzov 06:43So we're talking about a real number here, perhaps 75,000 Plus, or since it's actually your debts incrementally growing, because you're paying less than the than the amount? You know, you've got 200, or whatever that number is?Ian Hoffman 06:58Yeah. So I tell most people to think about it, like their mortgage, over 30 years, whatever your purchase price is for, you know, on average, right? Interest rate plays a role, but most people are going to pay double, whatever their purchase price was over 30 years.Mischa Zvegintzov 07:13Yeah.Ian Hoffman 07:13And so that's the way I was thinking about my student loans is, if I borrowed 150,000, over 25 years, you know, it wouldn't quite double because I was making payments, but all of the monthly payment was going to interest only I wasn't, I wasn't actually taken care of any of the principal.Mischa Zvegintzov 07:31Yeah. So you have the reverse engineer moment. And, and your in the fire, right of this million dollar debt load, I've been there and it's heavy, right? That's a heavy load. When you're trying to build a business. You're, you've got a son, a son, right? That's that. Yeah. And so trying to balance, like, time with family with the, I get it. It's heavy. I've been there. But tell me about the moment of that. You go, oh, my gosh, a reverse enginer? Did you was it like an overnight epiphany? I could help people with this... And then or was that a slow build?Ian Hoffman 08:14It was it was an overnight epiphany. And then the infrastructure was a slow build.Mischa Zvegintzov 08:18Okay. Ian Hoffman 08:18Russell Brunson says it's, "it's the who not the how." So I needed to find the right people. You know, to put together the team. I needed to write the webinar. I needed to really feel confident that at the end of the day I could deliver on the promise. Because I know how much my student loans caused anxiety for me and sleepless nights. And I didn't want to help anyone take that on; without really being certain that we could help them reach that goal, at the end of the day, of starting the nonprofit and then being able to qualify for you know, public service loan forgiveness. Yep. So it took quite some time.Ian Hoffman 08:19You know, it took me about a year and a half after starting my own nonprofit, to feel comfortable enough with the process to build the team because I'm not a lawyer. I'm not a CPA. I don't you know, I don't do those things. Yeah, so I need to...Mischa Zvegintzov 09:13Yeah.Mischa Zvegintzov 09:14So the we throw... love Russell Brunson, right. I love his Dot com secrets, expert secrets, all that stuff. I'm in his his high end coaching group so thriving in there. But what about finding that like what what what was the journey to alright, I can help people. How did you stumble across Russell Brunson? Or was that just was that like someone said, Oh, you have this great idea try this guy? And you're like okay. Or is that was that a? Was that a rocky transition.Ian Hoffman 09:46I think that's the genius of Russell Brunson and his marketing. He's really good about getting in front of the right people at the right time.Mischa Zvegintzov 09:52Yes. Ian Hoffman 09:52You know what I mean? I don't even know how I came across his material. I'm sure I was just searching online for you know how how to "how to launch" or "how to write a webinar", "how to do an online program". And I had come across other you know, other teachers actually before Russell Brunson. And it's really funny. One of the people that I wound up doing a little work with early on, even before Russell Brunson, is Bailey Richert. And I wound up hearing her on a podcast and then reached out to her and I did her in for infopreneur Institute, I think is what it's called. Yes. That was fantastic. So I had other mentors along the way. But you know, and she was she was fantastic.Mischa Zvegintzov 10:08You do her Summit, and all that, or No?Ian Hoffman 10:47I didn't do her Summit. But she has a an online training. You know, that teaches you how to go from I think almost nothing, just concept idea to just step by step how to how to get your first online program launched.Mischa Zvegintzov 11:04Yes. Okay.Ian Hoffman 11:06So I did that. And it was fantastic. It really helped me to clarify my vision and who was I serving and those kinds of details. And then it turns out later she wound up working with Russell Brunson. So brand and so it's a really small world in the online marketing space.Mischa Zvegintzov 11:24Yeah, fantastic. So so your entry into Russell Brunson land was was Bailey Richert your you take her infopreneur whatever it's called Academy. And, and that's how the idea for the webinar starts to come to fruition and use and you start crafting it there, then you end up in Russell Brunson land is that the?Ian Hoffman 11:48The timeline is a little hazy. Because I was doing a lot of things all at the same time. I was trying to educate myself. So I read a book. Also written by a chiropractor, I'm blanking on his name, but it was it's called social media made me rich. And I read, you know, I was really just trying to I was listening to podcasts, reading books, I was really just trying to trying to get an education on this space. So and at the same time, I was even... I live in Carlsbad, California. And there's an amazing podcast called... Oh, man, I'm blanking on the name of it, too. Anyway, there's an amazing podcast on I think it's the "online marketing made simple" or "Made Easy podcast". But she she teaches webinars and her strategies. And so I've gone through multiple iterations of my current webinar. Ian Hoffman 12:56I did probably eight or ten live webinars. Recorded them all made little notes. Figured out what questions people were asking, tried to, you know, answer those questions in advance as I kept going. And then finally got to the one where we had a really great response as far as sales and people staying to the end of the webinar. And that one eventually went on evergreen.Mischa Zvegintzov 13:21Fantastic. And so is this what we would call a high ticket webinar. So you're trying when I look at your webinar, or your landing page? Yes, reserve my seat now. Great news. It what? I'll tell you exactly what it says plus get a free phone called conflict consultation at the end of the web class. So you're driving phone calls? Or is your... Do you have a do it yourself? Course? A all help you course, I'll do it all for you course? What's your...Ian Hoffman 14:03I only have one...Ian Hoffman 14:04It's it's not a traditional funnel from the standpoint of like... I only have one offer, and that offer converts. And so really, it's $5,000 to $7,000. And at that, that price point, I think that most people...Ian Hoffman 14:21I've had a few people who clicked an ad, they watched the webinar, and they signed up without ever talking to me. And that's super cool. And I was excited about that.Ian Hoffman 14:32But the truth is I wanted to also be able to qualify my clients. And so I don't mind jumping on a 15 to 30 minute call with prospects to really get a feel for who they are, make sure their hearts in the right place with all of this. I'm sure that we would work well together. And to answer their questions, make sure that they know that there's a human behind this you know. So My funnel now is different. It changes over time, right? But my funnel now basically is register for the web class, that is the most important first step, because I want people, frankly, to be pre educated before they jump on the call with me. I want them to be able to ask the right questions to at least have a basic understanding of the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program. About their student loans. About ways that we can help before they get on the call, so that when I get on the call answer questions, then it's a simple conversation of, you know, what's going on? How can I help what questions you have? Let's address those and then sign up?Mischa Zvegintzov 15:40Yeah, yeah. Ian Hoffman 15:41Yep. Answering all the questions that that you know, you know, the top questions or the top, in sales line, let's call it rebuttals. Right. Ian Hoffman 15:41It saves me a lot of time. Because before I was spending between 30 minutes to an hour with each prospect, you know, sometimes multiple phone calls going over the same material. And that's where a webinar is really helpful in in kind of pre educating. And doing the sales process for me.Ian Hoffman 16:10Right.Mischa Zvegintzov 16:11But let's talk about it from it's more from a service standpoint, though, you're like, hey, I have this vision. This helped me, I want to help you. Not only are is it helping you the doctor, because it's saving you money and clearing debt and relieving stress and all this stuff. At the same time, you get to have a passion project and help the world right? We get satisfaction of the world. Yeah.Ian Hoffman 16:34Yeah, for sure. Most most doctors that I talked to, are already doing some form of this.Ian Hoffman 16:40I think most people got into health care, because they want to help people. You know that that's been really beautiful for me to see, as I'm talking and consulting with doctors. And it doesn't matter what the degree is dentists, chiropractors, naturopathic doctors, you name it. Most of them are already providing some level of discount or free care for, for people in need. And, and so they're just not doing it through a nonprofit. So we formalize that. We formalize their way of giving back, and they're able to qualify for student loan forgiveness as as a result.Mischa Zvegintzov 17:16That's amazing. I love that. That's, it's amazing. I just think it's my favorite thing. My goal is to help people help people, right. I'm like, I'm like, and so to hear you talk about the win win win scenario. That's like the best in the world right now. And I think that's what's genius about Russell Brunson, too, right. He's like, Hey, man, entrepreneurs are the people that are gonna save the world, shall we say, or make it better? Right?Mischa Zvegintzov 17:44And, and to have that win win win situation that you have created, or the universe helped you create, however you want to say it? Is, is beautiful. And inspiring. So thank you. I have a quick question. Your frustration? Well, I want to start with the who, what? Not the how, because that's such a powerful concept. Building the team, and you set it like it was easy. Oh, yeah. I just needed to build the team and make this happen. Yeah, well, no, maybe you're like, I'll do this myself. And quickly, you realize this is going to be a here a Herculean effort. I need help or tell me about that sort of process?Ian Hoffman 18:26Sure.Ian Hoffman 18:26Well, I mean, I, I think it's a matter of, of taking inventory and knowing yourself and your strengths and what you're good at and what you enjoy. And also, what do you not want to do? What do you not enjoy? What what lowers your energy. And so for me, I love writing. So writing the copy, writing the webinar, that...I enjoyed that process. But I didn't want to take on even the the the responsibility of filing these tax forms with the IRS and filing the articles of incorporation. And that legal work is something I knew nothing about and didn't really, I wasn't motivated to learn. So it's also it's also that is finding out, you know, where are the gaps between where you are and where you want to be. And then filling in those gaps, either by educating yourself and then doing it or if you find that you're not motivated, you need to find someone else who that's what they do. So, so I wound up originally working with the the firm that started my own nonprofit, I brought this to them and they said, great, and we brought that to really to, to the scale that they could handle. They were a smaller firm, and then I wound up finding a bigger firm to work with and, you know, wound up transitioning over. But yeah, I mean, I think that's the process is just knowing yourself and what you love and trying to to do that.Mischa Zvegintzov 20:03Okay, did you formalize that? Or was that all sort of intuitive for you? And when I say that I mean, did you? Were you like, Did you literally sit down and write out? Okay, this is what I'm good at. This is what I need help with? Or was it? Yeah, go?Mischa Zvegintzov 20:19I didn't do that I really, I wrote out kind of the curriculum and the steps of "what's the client's journey?" Right.Mischa Zvegintzov 20:30So once I, once I really went through the process of, okay, here's my modules, here's my, my, my system, my formula for the big promise of start a nonprofit and qualify for student loan forgiveness. What are the steps that people need to go through along that journey to really get that end end result that I'm trying to promise people? And then I was able to really clearly see what part of those steps can I teach? What can I help people with? What can we do for them? And then what do I need help with? You know, where can I fill in the gaps with other services?Mischa Zvegintzov 21:09Hmm, beautiful. Thank you. That's it. Thank you for that. Question in regards to Avatar. You mentioned that and everybody watching and listening avatar is "speak" for "your perfect customer". The "the exact person you want to work with". I know for a lot of us, for me, that's an elusive concept, or can be shifting or, or the conversations I keep having are make it super narrow. And so I'll go super narrow, and then the people that are telling me to go narrow, inevitably say that's too narrow, or I get so tell me about your avatar process.Mischa Zvegintzov 21:47Totally. I'm a big believer in you know, for me personally, it was it was a little easier, I think, than some because I am my avatar. You know, I was a doctor with six figures of student debt. And you know there are doctors with multiple, many multiple six figures of student loan debt. And so my avatar was was really anyone who... they I've worked with people that are not doctors, but really my avatar is anyone with over six figures of student loan debt who has a has a service based business.Ian Hoffman 22:28So, that's, that's the most general avatar. But the people who have the most student loan debt naturally are doctors and lawyers. You know, people who went to grad school. So that's, that's where it went.Mischa Zvegintzov 22:28Okay.Ian Hoffman 22:28But the reason it's so important to have an avatar is because, um, you know, along this process of building a funnel, building a business, one of the most important aspects of that is where am I going to get traffic? How am I going to put my ads in front of the right people? And so for me, I know I can get my ads in front of chiropractors, naturopathic doctors, dentists, physical therapists, osteopathic doctors. You know, those are my vertical markets. And in unless you have that avatar specifically drawn out, it's really hard to target.Mischa Zvegintzov 22:28Hmm.Mischa Zvegintzov 23:20And then then the ad process just is too inefficient. It did you can't you? Is that a good way to say it?Mischa Zvegintzov 23:29Yeah, absolutely. I mean, who wants to pay for ads that go to the wrong person that's not even interested? Or a qualified lead?Mischa Zvegintzov 23:37Yeah. Yeah. How was that? How was the do you do the ads? Or did you bring in? Did you bring in a who to do that for you?Ian Hoffman 23:46I've done both what I what I tend to do in my journey, my learning process is I want to learn as much as I can and try it myself first, and then hire an expert, so that I know what questions to ask. I know, I can get to a certain point, they better beat me. You know, they're going to get better results than I did if they're doing this as a professional. So you know, that's just how I am. Yeah. So that's how I started. I did really well, early on in Facebook ads. But then it became complicated because Facebook changed their marketing policy really related to student loan type advertising. And yeah, I mean, that people talk all the time about Facebook slaps and Google Slaps,Mischa Zvegintzov 24:30Google slaps. Yeah. You had one! Tell me about it...Ian Hoffman 24:34So yeah, it happened. And so then, you know, again, it's the who not the how I didn't want to become a Facebook ads specialist on top of everything else I was doing. So then you find the right team who can get you back where you want to be.Mischa Zvegintzov 24:46And so was that a? Was that an overnight crack on the side of the head like your business effectively shut down?Ian Hoffman 24:54I wouldn't say it shut down.Ian Hoffman 24:55So that that is actually the power of having an email list. right? So that's where I'm really glad that I was collecting emails for people who joined my webinar, because there were a lot of people on my email list who didn't bought who hadn't bought. And so what I was able to do once traffic shut down, you know, as I was working on getting that back up with ads... I had an email list of about 4000 Doctors by that point. So I really started emailing my list more frequently. And getting them back engaged and, you know, sending them more information. And really just being more active with that. And that was able to drive sales for a considerable amount of time, as you know, rebuilding the apps.Mischa Zvegintzov 25:44That's fantastic. So let's dive into this email list a little bit. Are... You have a nurture campaign, which means do you email consistently? Or is it? So there's that question? And do you outsource that process that process or tell me about your nurturing of your list?Ian Hoffman 26:07Yeah, I don't outsource that... I do... I enjoy writing. That's one of the things that I enjoy. So for me, and I think those emails are so... those are really important. And I want people to get that kind of information directly from the source. Directly from me. So I don't I don't hire out for that. And I also...Ian Hoffman 26:35I can probably be better about this. But when there's news when there's, you know, especially in 2021, there's been a lot of news, political news related to student loans.Ian Hoffman 26:53President Biden has already raised billions of dollars of student loan debt that President Trump never did for people who have, you know, for example, who were defrauded by their schools. And their schools shut down... they didn't get the you know, their degree. Or for people who have a total and permanent disability, now they can get student loan forgiveness. And so I follow these these things in the in the world of student loans. And I send, you know, information as it comes up to my list.Ian Hoffman 27:17One of the most recent developments in the world of public service loan forgiveness is that... before there were there was a very low acceptance rate into the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program. Hovering around 2%, actually, which is terrible. And that's because yeah, there are three requirements to qualify. There's actually four different types of federal student loans. Only one type qualifies for this program. There, there are like nine different repayment plan options. Five of those are income driven repayment, those are the ones that qualify. And then you had to have qualifying employment with the government or nonprofit. Ian Hoffman 27:57And the student loan industry is so complex. I personally believe it's designed to confuse so that people overpay. I mean, that's just that's just what it is. Right?Mischa Zvegintzov 28:08Yes.Ian Hoffman 28:08So unfortunately, unless people have done the homework and the research, like I did to say, most people don't even know what type of student loans they have, let's start there. So 15% of PSLF denials were because people just didn't have the right type of student loans. And they weren't being told that there's a free process that can turn any of the other types of federal student loans into the type that qualifies.Ian Hoffman 28:32So that's the first step with my program, I look at what type of loans they have, what repayment plan they're in, and we make sure that they meet those first two requirements. But because the program was so messed up... recently, there, I think it was President Biden or the administration said, "we're gonna we're gonna, you know, wipe away those first two requirements".Ian Hoffman 28:54So now any type of student loans and on any repayment plan, as long as you're a government and nonprofit employee, you can qualify for Public Service Loan Forgiveness right now. So they actually made it easier than ever before, to to enroll in this this program.Mischa Zvegintzov 29:11Wow. That's amazing. So you're disseminating information like that to your list and useful information. And obviously, strangely, it's either a blessing or a curse. You're fascinated by the by the, by the student loan process.Ian Hoffman 29:29Yeah. That was originally fascinated by it. But you know, I think originally when I, when I went to try to get my first mortgage, I was told that my income was good, but my debt to income ratio was all messed up because of the student loans.Mischa Zvegintzov 29:45Yeah.Ian Hoffman 29:45So I really got inspired to understand my student loans so that they didn't hold me back in life. You know what I mean? And then and then meeting that little girl with stage for cancer and everything else that came after it really was You know, the universe or something aligned? Yeah. To help this this product, this service come to fruition?Mischa Zvegintzov 30:08Yeah, I don't mean to go political, but I'm going to it almost seems to me, and I've had this thought that that a lot of these schools were, literally were created as a vehicle to create student loan debt. Right. Like, almost people with lots of money, we're like, we want to, we want to, you know, collateralize debt or securitized debt obligations, or whatever, you know, the bond market, right. And so they're like, alright, we got we want student loans, we can, the government will subsidize it. Right? So they got you got venture capitalists with billions of dollars that want to create CDOs, or collateralized debt obligations? There we go. And so they're like, how can we do this? This is just a theory. I don't mean to you, maybe you could speak to that for a second. You know, it's like,Ian Hoffman 31:11Yeah,Mischa Zvegintzov 31:12Yeah it's like... go ahead...Ian Hoffman 31:14I mean, I have heard a few different, you know, theories as far as the student debt crisis in America and how it came to happen. And, you know... I think that what we do know, is that part of the issue is that tuision, has just gone up and up and up and up far faster than the cost than the then the salaries that the degrees people are being trained in provide. And so...Ian Hoffman 31:50But the reason that they're doing that is because the schools know what someone can borrow. So if someone can borrow $10,000 a quarter, you know...They're gonna make their tuition, you know, whatever the the the very minimum that somebody can can have for, you know, room and board.Mischa Zvegintzov 32:10Yes. Ian Hoffman 32:11That, you know, plus tuition is $10,000. So, you know, that's, I think that's more of the issue is that it's not, it's not commensurate with what, what someone can expect to earn from that degree. It's not...Ian Hoffman 32:30There's a lot of unethical practices, I would say, but most importantly, is just that people aren't being educated on the responsibilities that they're taking on... when... you know, if... If I was 20, I'm trying to think of when I when I started at chiropractic school, graduated high school at 18. College at 22.Ian Hoffman 33:00So if I was 22 years old, and I went to try to get a mortgage for six figures, yeah, you know, there's no way but sure, you, we can give you six figures, you know, of debt for for college, right. So and it's an it's that it's a, it's a trap unfortunately, for a lot of people. I'm I'm, I value my education to no end. And I would do whatever it took to repay my debt. And and I was on that path. I was, you know, whether it was making my monthly payments, and then paying the tax bill. Or earning more and paying it off more quickly, I would have done whatever I could, it wasn't about getting out of the debt.Mischa Zvegintzov 33:43Yes.Ian Hoffman 33:44But the fact that there's a federal program out there, that would erase my debt, because I was helping more people and providing a public service. I was all after that.Mischa Zvegintzov 33:54I love it. That's a great, great way to frame it, you are committed to like, Hey, I have this debt. If I took it on, I'm willing to be responsible for it. I as a matter of fact, I'm trying to pay it off sooner. So I can be a responsible consumer or whatever, you know, like... Reduce the lifetime interest on the damn thing or stuff. Right. Like and, and, yeah. But then you figure out an ethical way. I didn't even think about this. The you're like, oh, wait a minute, like, I'm trying to be responsible. Here's an alt solution to be responsible. And yeah, it's beautiful. Did I frame that right? Or did I say that right?Ian Hoffman 34:35Yeah, you did. You know, and, and...Ian Hoffman 34:35Why are we bailing out banks at three quarters of 1%? When a student who wants to become educated and become a doctor, we're gonna put them into student debt slavery for the rest of their life? You know, it doesn't make sense. So I do you feel, in some senses like Robin Hood you know... Trying to... cuz the student loan industry is huge.Ian Hoffman 34:35There's $1.5 trillion of student loan debt out there. It's more than credit cards and car loans combined. So it affects 45 million Americans, it's a huge issue. And that's why I feel really good about helping people to sleep better at night to get that student loan monkey off their back and to give back in the process.Ian Hoffman 34:37I go back to you know, you asked about the the student loan industry as a whole and I think what's crazy is when the banks needed a bailout, the federal government gave them that bailout at 0.75% interest rate. When I got my student loans, it was 6.8%.Mischa Zvegintzov 34:58Oh my god.Ian Hoffman 34:59So why that that feels backwards to me. Right?Mischa Zvegintzov 35:45Yeah, that's beautiful. Thank you for that. Let me ask you a question. As far as like, internally, you you're coming across these these professionals, medical professionals. Who are, you know, who have this burden who are trying to do the right thing and have a they're kind of doing the philanthropic thing, they might not even know it it sounds like right. They have the activities and and you can wrap that, that nonprofit around it. What's like, the thing that, that they're thinking in their head that they're like, this doesn't make sense. What What's that? What's that? You know, what I'm saying? Like, how do you what is that thing that that, that that doctor in that situation internally is like, Yeah, but like, what's that thing?Ian Hoffman 36:35Regarding my program?Mischa Zvegintzov 36:36Yeah, regarding your program. Mischa Zvegintzov 36:39Yeah, like that internal, where they're like, they're thinking, like, well... I can't do it. Or I don't have the time. Or what is the what's like, what, what's the thing that stops people from taking advantage of this amazing thing internally? I guess, is what I'm trying to say. Right.Ian Hoffman 36:54Like, I mean, I think most often, it's that we have this silly phrase that, you know, if something sounds too good to be true, right? So I do hear that... And you know...there...Ian Hoffman 37:06Unfortunately, it's an industry where there are there are some scams out there, there are people taking advantage. And so I understand when my clients have questions, and they want to do their due diligence, and that's why I stopped selling the program directly from the webinar. And I want people to get on the phone with me. Because I want them to hear my heart and my purpose behind this. And I want to make sure that they're aligned with that. And I want to make sure that they understand that it's not me personally offering to forgive their student loan debt. And they do have responsibilities when they decide to join my program. They have to run the nonprofit, effectively. They have to learn the difference between how to run a nonprofit versus a for profit. We do all that training. But you know, there, I have this great quote, from www.nonprofitquarterly.org. Ian Hoffman 38:03They said six months of executive training for nonprofit professionals to on compliance costs between $4,000-$30,000. And that's included in my program, because I want people not just to help them start a nonprofit, I want them to be trained, so they can run it effectively in compliance with state and, and federal regulations. And so they're that means that they are taking on a different responsibility. Instead of paying their student loan debt, they need to know that they are now going to learn how to run a nonprofit, and how to do that effectively, how to avoid conflicts of interest, and how to, you know, to meet the specific requirements for public service loan forgiveness.Mischa Zvegintzov 38:51So you help them do all that.Ian Hoffman 38:53We help them do all of that.Mischa Zvegintzov 38:55Is that like the biggest, the biggest sort of outside issue that that that a medical professional is going to feel when they when they come across this idea? Your your student loan? I forgot the name, I'm sorry, student loans eraser.Ian Hoffman 39:11Yes.Mischa Zvegintzov 39:12Is that is that is that the is that like the thing where they're like, wait a minute, this sounds too good to be true. But then they get you on the phone and they feel your heart? And they say, oh, no, this is real. I can do this. But then they're like, oh, there's this outside stuff. Like, is it that compliance piece? Or is it is it well, my wife's gonna think I'm crazy or what? What's that?Ian Hoffman 39:34So first, it's too good to be true. And then it's, it's the other two big ones time and money. Right. So how much is this going to cost? And how long is it going to take for me to get it set up? What are my time requirements in running the nonprofit? You know, what are those things look like? So those are all important questions that most people have. That I addressed to a certain extent on the webinar, because I know everyone has those questions. Yeah, but then we We go deeper on the phone calls.Mischa Zvegintzov 40:01Okay, cool, cool, cool. And what's the what's like the epiphany moment for them where they're like, oh, my gosh, I have to do this.Ian Hoffman 40:09Yeah, um... Ian Hoffman 40:09Most people know they have to do it when when they look at how much student loan debt they have. You know, when they look at their options. Because you know, the truth is... I break it down. Ian Hoffman 40:09There's three, three ways to get out of your student loan debt, right? Number one, you can pay for 25 years, well, let's say four years, you can pay it off. But when you have multiple six figures of student loan debt, most people cannot do that in, you know, in a reasonable amount of time. Number two, you can go on an income driven plan, make the minimum payment for 25 years and save for that tax bill. That's, that's the way a lot of people go. Number three, you can qualify for public service, loan forgiveness, and get it erased in half the time tax free. That's the option I provide. And number four is die trying, you know, those, those really are the options. So between those four options, when you really break it down, people are able to see that, you know, if I can get out of debt in less than half the time tax free. That's really the way to go.Mischa Zvegintzov 41:23Thank you for answering. I want to know how many times did you almost quit in this process? How many times were you like, oh my gosh, this is amazing. And then the next day like, I can't do this another day? Yes. Because it's so hard building this.Ian Hoffman 41:40Yeah, I will say that I almost quit a few times before my first launch. Once I did my first launch. i i I've never looked back. So the first the the first year was really a challenge because that's when I was still full time in practice. Still, you know how to have had a new family. You know, a lot lots of obligations. And I wasn't sleeping much because I was trying to get this thing off the ground. So it was stressful. It was stressful for sure. Plus, you know, I was running a for profit and nonprofit, you know, so I had a lot going on. And I did I did get to a few points where I'm like, What am I doing? What Why? Why am I doing this? Right? Yeah.Ian Hoffman 42:32But, uh, then I looked at that little girl with stage four cancer, you know, and I remembered my why. And she's now December of this year, she'll be six years cancer free. When we first met, she was as bald as me now her hair is as long as yours, you know. So yeah. And so now I realized that the the impact is what drives me my clients are taking care of over 10,000 nonprofit visits a month. Which is amazing. So yeah, I wanted to quit early on. But...Mischa Zvegintzov 43:09Oh my god, thank you for that. Say that, again, what your nonprofit is doing what Say that again.Ian Hoffman 43:13So fast forward now. In the five and a half for six years or so that I've been teaching this. We by the end of this year will have started over 400 charities, and those doctors are going to save over $100 million. And they're taking care of over 10,000 nonprofit patient visits per month. So those are the numbers that are important to me. Oh no, I know that as those numbers grow, so too, so does income.Mischa Zvegintzov 43:43You know what? I I literally wrote this down. And I wrote down it's an effort to create something like this. You deserve a standing ovation. Right? Just for the fact that no truly I mean, and I'm not even talking that's just on the creation and now that I hear like your impact. Oh my gosh, I just I you know... I need the... what I was gonna say is I need an applause but I need the standing ovation applause button. So what great inspiration. um, so are you you're not chiropractic anymore? Or you do it a little bit or what's going on there?Ian Hoffman 44:22I'm not I'm not I really miss it. And so you know, one day I hope to have a little office with a box on the wall "Pay What You Can" you know that that kind of thing. That's That's my dream retirement. But for now...Ian Hoffman 44:39I also know that the the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program in and of itself is probably not going to be around forever. There's there's been over a million people that have submitted their employment certification form. There's a lot of interest in this program as complex and difficult you know, as as it is. And so Every year in office President Trump asked Congress to close enrollment in public service loan forgiveness. And they never did. But it put the program on the chopping block where... there was always a grandfathering clause that said, once you're once you're enrolled, and once you have your student loans...they're not trying to take it away from anyone who is already enrolled. But they would close enrollment from that point forward to not let the program continue to grow. And Congress never changed it. They never they never did that. So the program survived. President Biden seems very in favor of all of the student loan forgiveness programs, including public service, loan forgiveness. And they're making great strides to fix it and make it easier for people. So, you know, political shifts can change. And, you know, I'm, I'm in this for as long as I can be.Mischa Zvegintzov 45:58Does it keep you up at night at all? Are you ever Are you ever or do you have a connection or a trust factor that like, if this evaporates, "I know there's next"?Ian Hoffman 46:08Yeah, you know, the cool thing is that, because I was fortunate enough, I wound up getting a to two comma Club Award. This program, which was super fun, I got to shake Russell Brunson. And it was amazing. And, and get on stage at Funnel Hacking live in front of 1000s and 1000s of people.Mischa Zvegintzov 46:26Yeah,Mischa Zvegintzov 46:27What year was that? What year was that?Ian Hoffman 46:292019.Mischa Zvegintzov 46:29Yeah, not Nashville was that which was Nashville? Yes. Yeah. Congratulations, another applause button.Ian Hoffman 46:38Thanks. That was super fun and a cool accomplishment. But since then, I think just naturally, you know, people hear about that. They find me online, somehow through to comic club or whatever. They I've had people reach out to me and ask me for help. Because they're trying to get an online program launch. They're trying to write a webinar, they're trying to go through this process. And the most common thing I hear is, I don't know what to do first. Okay, even if I do that, what do I do next? And so I've really had fun taking on a handful of select clients. That, you know, are people who are doing something that I really believe in. That are making the world better. That are helping people with their product or service. And, you know, I've helped a couple of them get to market, get on Click Funnels and, and develop their, their funnel. So I do some of that coaching. And I think that if, if Public Service Loan Forgiveness went away overnight, I would probably have a lot of fun getting into that more.Mischa Zvegintzov 47:47Yeah, yeah, great, what a gift. But how cool is that? To know that that can shift there if necessary, or wherever the universe is going to take you. Or however you...Ian Hoffman 48:01Yeah totally.Mischa Zvegintzov 48:02Yeah, that's super cool. Any upsells down cells along the way you have? Or are you? Or do you have like progression for your doctors? So you have your first $5000 to $7,000? Class? Is there a next step for them? Or no, you're pretty focused on that.Ian Hoffman 48:26There, there's not. There's no upsell, so to speak, as far as as that's concerned. But I do remember reading about how important it is to have a continuity funnel to have monthly recurring revenue instead of just one chunk at a time. And so I got together about two years ago now with the team that I use to do the legal work. So they write the articles of incorporation and bylaws send that to the state, they send the required documents to the IRS. And so they have a great team.Ian Hoffman 49:00And we put together a compliance program for my clients. Where we call it the "hands free 501 C three maintenance program". And so that includes help with bookkeeping, payroll, state and federal tax returns, help with their board meetings. You know, compliance questions, all of that. And really it that it's $157 a month, we tried to keep it really affordable. And it's it's an option. Some of my clients choose to keep their nonprofit, very low budget, and they do all those things themselves. But for the ones who are really busy, the ones who their nonprofit can afford it. We do have that as I would say kind of an upsell. Ian Hoffman 49:48And then as a down sell. The first step in this whole process is making sure that people have the the first two requirements. They have the right type of student loans. And they're on an income driven repayment plan with the lowest possible monthly payment, because that helps us maximize their savings and cash flow.Ian Hoffman 50:08And so I do a custom student loan plan. For people who are on the fence, they're like, show me my numbers, how much can I save? Before I sign up, so that sometimes I have specials, that's usually somewhere between $297 and $497. But you know, that's a great way for people to get their numbers and see how much they're going to save before they jump into the full program. So really, it's about twice a year, I'll send some emails, you know, telling people about the the custom student loan plan. And that works great as well.Mischa Zvegintzov 50:46Fantastic. Thank you for answering it. And I next interview, I'm going to ask it more delicately because upsell and down sell can sound a little salesy, right. But really, oh, here's an added value. If you're a busy, medical professional, and you're, you're cranking away at your business, and you've created this nonprofit that's thriving. Or maybe more than they anticipated, or something, you're like, hey, we can we can maintain your compliance on a on a monthly basis. So you don't have to worry about it. It's beautiful. Right? Versus, and then you've also got, hey, someone's not ready to feel like you know what, I think I'll just start with like, let's clean up my my student loan debt, let's just clean it up a little bit. Make sure I'm maximizing, you know, interest rates and all that sort of stuff. Yeah?Ian Hoffman 51:38Sure.Mischa Zvegintzov 51:38Yes. Great.Ian Hoffman 51:39There are people that that start there. And I show them that they can lower their their payments enough where it pays for the full program in and of itself within two years, or whatever that is. So it's just a nice way to help people save money and provide value quickly. And then if they choose to get started with the full program, great. If not, they've had a great interaction with me. And hopefully they saved a ton of money.Mischa Zvegintzov 52:07Yeah, fantastic. And I'm looking over here a little bit as a, as we're talking, I'm looking at your landing page, the introduction to the webinar. And there was something I saw on there about a group, there's you do you have a group associated with this? Where? Yeah,Ian Hoffman 52:25Yeah, so all my clients, one of the bonuses that they get is access to a private Facebook group. We have, I think there's, there's over 200 doctors in that group at this point, it might be 250 At this point. But it's, it's a way for them to share resources and provide community support. Sometimes someone will find an article, even though I stay really up to date with the political stuff regarding student loans. Sometimes they find things before me, and they post it there, and then I get a chance to comment. So they're, you know, people will have questions about anything, you know, related to their student loans or related to the nonprofit, and we get to provide community support, share referrals, resources that way.Mischa Zvegintzov 53:14Cool. What's sort of the coolest thing you've seen on the group? Where you're like, Whoa, I didn't expect that. That was amazing.Ian Hoffman 53:21Yeah. Um, to be honest, it was like, it was a, it was a fear that turned into a really cool, powerful moment. So I had somebody who posted that they were flagged for an IRS audit. And it was something that was totally unrelated to their student loans and to the nonprofit. But they wound up posting, you know, as they went through the process that the IRS, the nonprofit that we started for them got looked at, and it passed with flying colors. There were no the IRS had no issues with the setup or with with any part of that. So that was fantastic for everyone in the group to see. We cross our T's we dot our I's we teach it a certain way.Mischa Zvegintzov 54:10Yes. Ian Hoffman 54:11We do that because you know that that's the way to do it.Mischa Zvegintzov 54:15Yeah.Ian Hoffman 54:16There's, there's only one way in my opinion, if you're going to go down this path, and that's the rightMischa Zvegintzov 54:21way. That's beautiful. Ian, thank you so much. Um, I had one other question. It just escaped me. Um, maybe that means we should be done.Mischa Zvegintzov 54:32Oh, but I wanted to tell anybody watching and, and listening. Either go into the show notes or click below www.erasemystudent loans.com click on that link. And you can check out the webinar and just get all the quality information and if it makes sense and you want to reorganize your debt or start a nonprofit help save the world and wipe it off the books or or what have you click on that link and learn. I guess my next question is, is there like a breakeven point you have? So if someone's got, like $10,000, in student loan debt, obviously, you know what? Probably not, I'm not your guy, is it? Like, right? That's what's that number and above?Ian Hoffman 55:19It's not so much a specific number of an amount of student loan debt, although I will give you that number. Um, it's, it's their debt relative to their income, because, for example, if they have $50,000 of student loan debt, but they have no income, than the $50,000 is still gonna be there. Plus interest 10 years from now? Yes. Right. So, you know, that's why it's related to their income, versus if they have $50,000 of student loan debt, and they make $250,000 a year, they're gonna pay that off before they qualify for forgiveness, right. So that's why it's it's debt relative to their income. And for the most part, I would say, you know, if you're, if your monthly payment is at or below interest, meaning, if your debt is not going down, yes, then we that's how we know that this might be a good option for you. And I would say that, at a minimum, I typically want to see somewhere between $50,000 and $70,000, of student loan debt, you know, to take on a client. However, I have, I have had clients that have $750,000 of student loan debt. So it's no joke, you know, as as a naturopathic doctors right now are graduating with $400,000. Dentists are graduating with $400,000.Mischa Zvegintzov 56:47What!?Ian Hoffman 56:48And some people have multiple degrees. So yeah, and then, you know, on top of, let's say, You graduated with $400,000 of student loan debt, and you didn't have a substantial income right out of school, five years later, that might be significantly higher. So that's why we start to see people who have half a million dollar plus a, you know, that's that those are really my favorite clients, because there's no way they're paying that off, you know, unfortunately.Mischa Zvegintzov 57:22Unfortunately, so they could actually be thriving as a practice and have a ton of income, but that the burden of that debt is just... It's heavy, right? Like it. Especially if you're growing a family and doing all that and have a house, totally things.Ian Hoffman 57:38There are statistic statistics now on student debt related suicides, and student debt related divorces, and student I mean, it's just, it's miserable. Um, so, you know, I would say, for anyone in those kinds of positions, um, you know, there's help.Mischa Zvegintzov 57:57That's amazing. Um, and so I just want to recap, one thing, if what I'm hearing you say is, if someone's making a million dollars a year, and they have $100,000, in loan debt, and they have no other debt, like that's not your guy, because they can just effectively pay it off. Quick anyway, right, like, pay it off, versus going through the hoops of paying me all this stuff? Is that effectively what I heard you say?Ian Hoffman 58:21Correct. Um, that being said, I do have clients who are earning in excess of $250,000 a year, so. But, again, if you're earning debt load, but you have half a million dollars of debt, that's why it's not just a picture of how much debt you have. It's debt and income,Mischa Zvegintzov 58:39I get it. It's like the debt to income ratio, if you wanted to call it like that. Right? And it's, it's the whole debt to income ratio, right? Like by the time you have your car payment in there, maybe some credit card payments in there, and maybe some, right when you put the whole picture together. It's like yeah, you could be making a lot but but that total that load? Okay, you've answered the question. I don't mean to brow that any brow beat that anymore? Did you want to clarify there? Because I didn't mean to dilute that message. If I did,Ian Hoffman 59:07No, no worries. And and I'm happy to have people check out the web class, make sure that this is something that they want to pursue, get the information and if they're not sure, on their those numbers, you know, jump on a call with me, we can always start with the custom student loan plan. That's why I have that option to run the numbers for them.Ian Hoffman 59:27And I also provide two money back guarantees in my program because I want to make it a no brainer. So the first guarantee is that after they sign up, when I do the first step, and I look at what type of loans they have, what repayment plan they're in, I estimate how much they can expect to save by qualifying for public service loan forgiveness. And if I can't provide a you know, an estimate of 1,000% return on their investment, you know, basically meaning. The program itself is is $5000 If we if I'm not going to show them that they're going to qualify for at least $50,000 in savings, then I give them an opportunity to have a refund.Ian Hoffman 1:00:10And then the second guarantee that I make is that one, it's their responsibility from that point forward to complete the steps in the student loan eraser and go through the course and with my help and guidance, but once they complete the process, I the last step is that they send a document to the Department of Education, letting them know that they now have qualified employment, and they get a letter back saying, letting them know how many payments they've made, or how much how many months they have that count towards public service, loan forgiveness. So they know they're in. If they get denied, they get we work with them until they get approved or they get a refund. So it has to work or I don't feel that I deserve to keep the payment.Mischa Zvegintzov 1:00:53That's amazing. That is amazing. That's amazing. And thank you for explaining it that way. That's that's clear and concise. Like that's almost if you fit if you fit the person that can use help that needs they can they can get you can help clean up their their debt load serve community. like they fit that model. If you aren't able to come through it's not it's it's a no lose situation. That's That's powerful. Wow. I know you're a busy guy. I know you've got a son out there still and all that and so I want to I want you to let you get back to your day. But I want to tell everybody again, erase my I'm looking at it. It's a beautiful it's a beautiful landing page very concise, easy to easy to figure out what to do https://www.erasemystudentloans.com/ The link will be in the show notes as well but absolutely click on it. And just the impact I'm I just getting the chills by the impact I just that you're bringing is really truly beautiful and inspirational. So thank you for that. Ian. Dr. Ian Hoffman. I'm gonna hit stop, and then we'll say goodbye offline.Ian Hoffman 1:02:18Okay. All right. Thank you, Mischa, I appreciate the opportunity.Mischa Zvegintzov 1:02:20Indeed. Cheers.

Bailey Richert is Founder of Virtual Summit School and Host of the Infopreneur Summit. In this episode - we discuss what a virtual summit is, how to get started, tips on tech setup and general building awareness around your brand. For years Bailey was caught up in the ‘rat race' as she followed what she was taught was the ‘right path' in life. A high school valedictorian and magna cum laude engineering university graduate, Bailey took a job for many years working the 9-to-5 consulting grind in California. The cubicle life would never allow her to achieve the dreams, goals and ambitions she had. So she decided to make a change and the journey began and continues today. Bailey and I discuss; Her decision to leave the corporate world and why this may not be for everyone What and Why a Virtual Summit? Benefits she realized from hosting 4 virtual summits Steps to starting your own ROI on a virtual summit and much more...

Information products can come in many different formats, such as online courses, virtual summits, ebooks, and coaching programs. At their core, information products must provide guidance and value to our consumers. Bailey Richert is today's guest. She is a business coach for infopreneurs. She profitably built a 5-figure email list without paid ads, has sold millions of dollars' worth of info-products, and earned a ClickFunnels 2-Comma Club Award, which means she has created a funnel that generated more than $1 million. In this episode, Bailey is going to share 6 Tips for Adding New Revenue Streams to our businesses with Information Products. 1. Host or Attend Virtual Summits A virtual summit is an online conference, very similar to an in-person conference, but it's all virtual. The host of a virtual summit reaches out to others in their niche or industry and invites them to be guest speakers at the virtual event. There are many benefits to virtual summits. One reason you might want to host one is that it's a great way to generate leads. Bailey feels that the number one benefit of virtual summits is that we will be able to grow our email list. The people invited to speak at the summit have an audience and an email list that are also the host's ideal audience members. Hopefully, many of the guests will promote the virtual summit to their audience and that audience in exchange for a commission on upgraded tickets the people they refer buy. Many of the people who register will register to our email lists. Summits can also generate revenue. We can sell all of the tickets to the summit as the Social Media Marketing World does. Or, we can give away a free ticket to a limited portion of the event and then sell upgraded “All-access passes” like Bailey usually does, such as I did with my Adoption Summit. Or, we could have people put in a credit card for payment but not charge their card. We would tell them that if they don't feel they received sufficient value, they can cancel for any reason within a certain time period after the event ends. But, if they don't cancel by that date, their card will be charged. Russell Brunson uses this model, and he says the vast majority of people who attended his online summits don't cancel and allow their credit cards to be run to pay for the event. During the pandemic, I attended one of Russell Brunson's virtual summits, and I received so much value I did not cancel, and I allowed my credit card to be run. Attendees must subscribe with their email when they register for the summit. We can then pitch products or services related to the summit to them via email. Summits can be a great platform to launch or promote an online course related to the summit's topic. The more abstract reasons for doing a virtual summit are growing our networks and finding other opportunities. We can build relationships with people and put ourselves out there. Summits can give us more visibility in our space so that people start to know who we are and respect us. This visibility gives us opportunities. People may ask us to do podcast interviews, to speak at their summits, or be interviewed for their YouTube channel. These can lead to other things such as more sales, clients, collaborations, etc. An important part of the virtual summit strategy is to select speakers who are willing to help promote the event. Bailey helped plan a summit for a client once where he had 62 speakers. Her client insisted on going after A-level influencers in his field. Bailey had told him many times that getting B-level influencers was a better idea because they will see themselves as partners with him and will be more willing to promote the summit. However, he really wanted to get big names and didn't listen to her. Out of the 62 speakers only 4 promoted the summit. 2. Online Courses “The size of the eLearning industry was $176 billion in 2017 and is expected to reach $398 billion by 2026.” (Source: sellcoursesonline.com) Many people say online courses are the first information product we should provide. Bailey cautioned against this, saying that it really depends on where we are and what our goals are. If we don't already have an email list or an audience, it is likely that an online course won't be highly successful for us. We can first build our audience through something like a virtual summit and then once we have an audience we can launch an information product like a course to that audience. Bailey also cautioned against hosting online courses on a website that isn't our own. This is another instance of building a skyscraper on land that isn't ours. We should strive to create products in a space that we can control. However, once we have a substantial audience that trusts us, and we build a course on a platform we own, then courses may be the most lucrative way we can leverage information products to add a new revenue stream to our business. 3. Create Challenge Courses that Lead into Other Courses Challenge courses are like online courses, but instead of giving the customer all the content at once and letting them go through it at their leisure, challenge courses are designed to be a step-by-step guide to lead a customer to an end goal that they can accomplish. For example, the course could be something like “7 Steps to Publishing Your First Ebook”. Thus, by the end of the course, customers will have published their first ebook. Challenge courses can be the main product or they can be a great way to lead to something bigger. If someone had a course called “30 Days to Finishing Your eBook Manuscript”, a customer who took that course would receive the help they need to finish their manuscript during the course. 4. Provide a Coaching Package that Has a Lot of Value Coaching packages are another great information product. We typically think of coaching as a service, and it is, but Bailey tells her coaches not to think of it as an hourly gig. Coaches should be putting together a coaching package that has incredibly high value so they can charge more for it and aren't just trading hours for dollars. Most coaches can't tell their customers that they're going to be charged $1,000 per hour, even if they are worth that much. However, they can put together a $5,000 package for three months that includes our time and services, but it also includes other elements. These packages could include things such as weekly meetings with the coach, unlimited email and message support, a customized action plan that the coach will create just for the customer, lifetime access to the coach's signature online courses, checklists, etc. These packages give the coaches the ability to build something once and then monetize it with each of their customers. Because of the package's value, it will then seem like such an irresistible deal that it will be a “no brainer” they have to take. This can be a particularly effective strategy if we have already developed many of the materials we will provide to our coaching clients. 5. Give Customers with Memberships Reasons to Stay Memberships can be a great way to generate recurring revenue; however, we don't assume they're easy money. According to Marketing General, 57% join associations to network with their peers, while 26% of people want to learn about their industry's best practices, and 25% want to access specialized information (Source: Member Press). People only stay in the membership if they are using it and it is providing recurring value to them. If not, they usually leave after about 3 months. We must give them a reason to stay, whether that be through the continuous addition of new materials or something else where they're getting so much value that it is worth it for them to stay. We should be giving them opportunities to network with their peers, learn about their industry's best practices, and access specialized information. 6. Give Something a Try Bailey's final piece of advice is to give something a try. If you've never done anything with information products before, now is a great time to delve into it. It will likely be hard at first, as most things are, but down the road, it could lead to something great. “I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're doing something.” -Neil Gaiman Key Takeaways Thank you so much Bailey for sharing your stories and knowledge with us today. Here are some of my key takeaways from this episode: Host virtual summits to build our audiences and email lists. Host virtual summits to provide value and make connections with experts in our community. Invite influencers to speak at the summit who will be willing to promote the summit to their following. Building our audiences before starting an online course will allow the online course launch to be much more successful. Host our online courses on our own websites. Create challenge courses that lead to our more expensive courses. Create coaching packages that have an incredibly high value for our customers and bundle value in addition to our time. In our membership services, keep providing members with recurring value that will make them want to stay each month. Try something new with information products. It may lead to learning and great success.

Ben: Hey everybody, welcome to Hack That Funnel Radio. I’m so happy that you are here. We’re going to be talking today with Bailey Richard, who has built a business for herself that she loves building on everyday and has made her $1 million. We’ll be talking about that. Bailey built her dream business. Now I’ll let her kind of talk about her backstory, but really she’s built a dream lifestyle business where she can do what she wants, where she wants and how she wants to do it. She’s done it successfully and she’s gone on a path that a lot of us have and some of us think may have been the perfect way to be, you know, to succeed. But she changed in a lot of ways. I’ll let her talk about that but thank you for being on Bailey. I appreciate it. Bailey: Thank you so much for having me. It’s a pleasure from the first time I heard about you, it was on the 30days.com when they did the summit and you were leading the summit, you’re doing all the interviews and on the background I believe you are scheduling everything. I’m making it all work, correct? Yes, that’s true. I actually doing this summit was my idea. I had come to wrestle and said, hey, why don’t we do a ClickFunnel summit? He had already been thinking about doing the 30 days concept but as a book and so essentially I said, hey, if you let me organize and manage this summit project, we can do the book in the summit together. What do you think about that? And he said, let’s do it. Ben: Well, and that’s, that’s the best way to go at, at someone who’s as busy as Russell as you come over and like, I’ll just take care of everything and just we’ll add it onto yours and it will be great. Yup. You don’t have to do anything. Right. Bailey: Exactly. Ben: That is so cool. And then I saw you spoke on stage at funnel hacking live. Yeah. I’m just talking about the summit funnel. Bailey: Yup, exactly. This past February, so we did such an amazing job with the 30 day summit, had such incredible results. This was in the fall of 2018 that Russell said, you know, I think that we should talk about the concept of virtual summits at funnel hacking live. What do you think? Would you like to speak on that? And I said, absolutely. Ben: That is so cool. Oh No, I can’t imagine how scary it is on that stage. There were like 3000 people there. Bailey: Oh, there was more. I think there was about 4,000 Ben: That was so big. And they’re doing it again at the same place… Bailey: yeah. You know, it’s funny though because the truth is it’s so dark you can’t see anybody pass the first or second row. And so you know, really if you just, you know, keep just thinking that you’re playing to those individuals. That’s really the key. Plus, you know, admittedly I have a background speaking on stage and doing things like that and yeah, I think to be honest, I was actually a bit more nervous when I was dancing in the back with Russell and dean Graziosi and like all of the other incredible, you know, set, you know, such wonderful entrepreneurs and speakers and I was nervous there. But then once I finally got out on stage and I just really got in my group, it all went away. And it was just like I was chatting with some friends who teaching, you know, one of my web classes. It became more natural because you’ve already practiced how many different times on stage. And essentially I was giving the same presentation tweaked of course for funnel hacking live, but you know, it was about summits and summits are one of the things that I do teach on. So I knew the material inside out. And when you’re that comfortable with the thing that you teach, I mean, you can’t forget it. I mean it’s really, it’s almost impossible when you have your own summit. So just a summary of your own summit. You have your own courses, you have your own, you have your own coaching business. Like how did you get started in this? Because everyone has their own little story. What’s your story? How far back do you want me to start? It’s a good question. Um, so yeah, when did you want to go online? Okay. Okay. So, I feel like I had to just like briefly kind of back up to the fact that, you know, just like you, I, you know, I was in the corporate world for a while as well, so I was always taught that there was this American dream you were supposed to follow. I was Valedictorian of high and high school. I won a scholarship to go study engineering and I went and got my bachelor’s and master’s in engineering and eventually wound up working as an environmental engineering consultant out in California and so it was, I actually spent a couple of years doing that before I decided that I wanted to pursue something else. I was about 25 years old when I started having honestly a quarter life crisis. I was legitimately having panic attacks, anxiety about my future because I just woke up one day essentially and realize that the path that I was on, I could be on for the next 50 years if I didn’t make a change and what does that, the life that I wanted to have and all of this was kind of coming about around this time. You might ask, well, why did it take two or three years for you to feel this way? It was really all because of something called the PE, the professional engineering license. It’s you, you go to school for Engineering, then you get a job and you get all this experience and then you qualify for your PE exams so that you can get licensed as an engineer. Right. And so that’s what was happening with my career at the time because basically after you get your PE, you know, that was the carrot on the stick. That was the thing that I was getting at. Like I want my PE, I want to be a licensed. But once you get that, then it’s not that your career is over of course, but there’s no next challenge and I’m a person that just thrives on having the next challenge, figuring you know out the next problem. And I think in general, that’s why I like engineering because it’s all about solving problems and finding solutions and things. And ironically, so is business but just in a different way. And so after that carried on a stick wasn’t there anymore after I passed the exams and it was like, well what are you going to do for the rest of your life? You could either stay at the company you’re at now. Usually they give you a raise, maybe you on a few more difficult problems. They trust you more and maybe you get to be project manager or something or you can move to a different company and do the exact same thing. But for me that just, it wasn’t enough. And I realized, okay, this isn’t actually what I want to do for the rest of my life. And that’s when I started to pursue online business. Bailey: Now. So you asked me when did I go online?

Podcast Episode 9 Getting Started with Infopreneurship I had the pleasure of speaking to Bailey Richert. Bailey is an award-winning business coach who helps individuals launch and grow profitable online enterprises as infopreneurs. Infopreneurship is a form of entrepreneurship focusing on the creation of information products. The form that information products can take can vary from special reports, books, courses, etc. A benefits of infopreneurship is that after you have created the product you have a product that you can sell forever. A second benefit of this is that you could add marketing to introduce individuals/purchasers to other products. By adding some form of advertisement in your initial product you can create free marketing for another product. There are a few cons of creating information products. The product that is created may not be the one that your audience or client may not want. You could have spent months creating a product that no one wants. A second con is that it requires an audience or group of clients to be able to sell these products to. There are ways to get around the cons of infopreneurship. The first is to go through the process of creating an audience. An audience to be able to sell products can be created by traditional blogging, podcasting and creating videos. If you don’t have the desire or ability to pump out blog posts you could transcribe some of the audio or visual feed to be able to create written content. By going through this process you will be able to rank organically with google and build up traffic on your website. All of this will allow you to build up an audience through whatever method is the best fit for you individually. The second con that exists for information products is creating the wrong product for the wrong audience. There are a few different ways to remedy this problem. You can reach out to individuals in your audience assuming that you have been blogging, podcasting or creating videos for a while. Tell individuals that ae on your emails list that you are interested in creating x product at x price point and see if they are interested in this product. I’d recommend asking them in the same email if they are interested in anything else or had other product recommendations. If you don’t ask you will never know what they are interested in buying. If you don’t have an existing audience then you could look for groups in the same niche as you and look through the Facebook posts for the group. What you are looking for is a recurring complaint or problem that people are looking to resolve. The reason to go to Facebook is to generate product ideas.

Dave Woodward helped shape the entire affiliate program at ClickFunnels. He's a personal mentor, friend, and brother. It's long overdue that I invite him to come on Sales Funnel Radio to share his wisdom... I'm really pumped about this. Frankly, it's been in the planning for, like, seven months now… I have wanted to get interview Dave Woodward for a very, very long time. If you guys don't know anything about him, he is one of the backbones of ClickFunnels... … so you’re in for a treat. I think it was October-ish 2018, just after the 30-Days Book went out. I was approached by ClickFunnels to write a chapter for a NEW book... And, NEWS FLASH… In case you’re slow to catch on ;-) this is me, announcing the release of the NEW Affiliate Bootcamp Book! And of course, in true Steve Larsen fashion, I'm gonna over-deliver bonuses to the hilt, so you’ll wanna buy the book through my link… THE NEW AFFILIATE BOOTCAMP BOOK The book asks the question: “How would you retire as a ClickFunnels affiliate in a hundred days?” I spent pretty much all of my Christmas break writing my chapter. ...it's NOT straight theory kinda stuff. This is A LOT of the strategies I’ve used to crush it in affiliate contests. So, I'm really excited about this. For the 30-Days Book, I interviewed Russell… For this one, I thought I would interview one of the backbones of Clickfunnels and the reason why: Stuff gets done There's an affiliate program that's run well. The Dream 100 program is killin’ it. ...and the name of that individual is Dave Woodward. He's a beast. He's the man... Dave has become one of my favorite people on this planet, a mentor, a friend, a brother, and I look up to him like crazy. I care dramatically what Dave Woodward thinks about me. Maybe I shouldn't... I'm NOT supposed to say that, but it's true. I really appreciate him, and everything he's done for me, and my family. I am very, very excited, and completely, (in full transparency), extremely honored, to have our guest today. This has been an interview I have been planning, and looking forward to, for a little over a year and a half now. I'm excited and to be completely honest, a little bit nervous. I have tremendous respect for Dave Woodward. - tremendous respect. If you guys don't know who Dave is, you should! INTRODUCING DAVE WOODWARD Dave is one of the cornerstones and keystones of all of ClickFunnels, and why it works… ...please take that from a guy who sat across, and watched, and was very much a part of the intimate workings of what ClickFunnels is, and how it works. Dave is one of the reasons why ClickFunnels is where it is. He is one of the reasons why relationships are the way they are. And, in my honest opinion, the reason why Russell can even get his message out there… I have a ton of respect for Dave and for what he does. He has gone from a friend to an incredible mentor to me. I so appreciate and love him, and I'm very honored to interview him today. Dave, thanks for being here. DAVE: Well, I'm extremely honored, and I'm very nervous myself, so that makes two of us. Thank you for allowing me to come on your show. I have such huge props for you, and I just admire all your work, and everything that you've done… No one implements like you implement. I love seeing it, you're such a role model to my kids, it's just fun, and I love seeing the impact that you're literally having across the entire world... so, it's an honor to be here. STEVE: Oh thank you very much, man. I'm glad to have ya. Now a lot of people may not know…. Dave sits, literally across from his seat, he literally is looking into Russell's office - I mean he's like right there… There's this tradition, (at least when I was there), it looked kinda like this… So Dave and I, right, we're working, Melanie's there, we're getting our stuff done. Usually, there's some music going. We're sitting around, and then all of a sudden Russell goes,”“UHHH!” Which means… “Get up and run to my desk.” So Dave and I, would get up and run over to Russell's desk, and we'd basically watch the zeroes and ones God pour down wisdom into Russell's marketing brain… https://media.giphy.com/media/3JSGn9bSDpzAFutb6W/giphy.gif ... and gold would just fall out. Dave and I, would both try to keep up, while at the same time validating, “Oh my gosh, that is a cool idea, better catch on to it...” ... it's like really, really fun. One of the funnest environments. I miss it terribly. Now, but a lot of people don’t know that you had a history with Russell and, pre-ClickFunnels. Right? I mean, what were you doing before coming into ClickFunnels? HOW DAVE MET RUSSELL DAVE: I had my own marketing consulting agency for years. In fact, I actually met Russell… So, I come from the direct response marketing days… Old Dan Kennedy, Bill Glazer, copywriting type of stuff... years and years and years ago. And at the time I had a lot of clients who were in either the insurance, the health field, or else mortgages. A lot of them were trying to figure out this whole online thing… (this is like 2007, 2008). And it was that point where I thought, I gotta figure out this whole internet stuff. I've got too many clients who are wanting information about it. I'd been on Russell's list, I'd been on other lists, and Russell was coming to do a seminar in affiliate marketing, not far from where I lived in Southern California… So I thought, “Oh great, I'll just go, and go and listen there.” I'm a huge believer of either working your way in, or buying your way in. And I've always preferred buying your way in, if it's at all available, it's faster. So it was Russell and Stu McLaren, and Russell got up and said: "Hey, you know what? If you guys would like to take us out to lunch or dinner or anything, to just kinda pick our brains, go to the back and sign up." I literally jumped out of my chair, ran to the back, and I signed up for EVERY breakfast, lunch, and dinner that Russell had. I'm like, “The guy's either gonna hate me, or we're gonna become friends through this thing.” I wanted to get to know him better, and so I literally signed up for EVERYTHING! I'm sure when he first got it he was like, “Who in the world is this Dave Woodward guy? What have I gotten myself into?” I can guarantee you, Russell would never do that now. You could never take him to lunch or dinner, but he was just getting started. … and so we created a deep friendship. I ended up setting up his 10th anniversary for Collette. They flew down to Southern California and went out to dinner, then flew to Catalina... Russell is more than a friend, he's like a brother. He's probably, in all honesty, the closest friend I have aside from my wife. There's nothing I wouldn't do for him. Over the years, we've had the opportunity of doing a ton of different projects together, some in the real estate niche, some in the network marketing niche, some in the fitness niche. Some made money, some lost money. My very first product was with Russell - it was Legendary Marketers. STEVE: No way. DAVE: Yeah. STEVE: Oh, I didn't know that was. Cool. DAVE: And so, that was the very first product that I ever did... Again it was one of those things where I saw, just his desire to help others grow, and, at whatever the cost. Just, just pour so much into people, and I was just drawn to him… … and we've just literally become lifelong friends. When we started ClickFunnels, I was still in Southern California. I was flying up here every other week, and Russell was like, “You just need to move up here..” I'm like… Dude, listen, we've been through a lot of things over the years, and NOT all of them have worked… Before I uproot my family, I wanna actually make sure this whole ClickFunnels thing is actually gonna take off. And then, as you can tell right now, it'll be three years this August. So we moved up here after ClickFunnels was up and running for about a year and a half. STEVE: I remember that. Only because it was like two months before, you flew in, that's when I moved my family up. Russell was like, “You know Dave Woodward?” ...and I had just started seeing your majesty in the inner workings of ClickFunnels - all the stuff you're doing with Dream 100, the affiliate stuff… … and Russell was like, “He's gonna move on up,” and I was like, “No way, that's awesome.” You moved up, and I kid you not… We were already kind of naturally high energetic people, you, and I, and Russell, but the overall energy, it was like one plus one equals twelve when you came in! I was like, “This is awesome,”...it's not a classic business office… We were running around barefoot in t-shirts, shorts... music going all the time… it's such a fun place to work and try to change the world also. So, how did you end up doing stuff for Russell's people - the affiliate manager was your first role, right? DAVE: Actually, no. I was in charge of all our business development. So one of the pieces of it was the affiliate plan. STEVE: That's right, my bad. DAVE: Yeah, so, what happened was, so … My coming into ClickFunnels, (as far as, one of the things), we were at TNC, (we’ve just come back from TNC 10, so this must have been TNC, like five, or six), and it was ClickFunnels' first booth, at TNC, and they had put us in the far back corner… I was like, “This just sucks. We can't do this. No one's gonna see us.” Russell was actually speaking at TNC, and he was like, “Gosh, I just wish we had some way of getting attention to us, no one's gonna come to us…” ...because it wasn't in the main ballroom… He was like, I wish we could just get some of those like showroom girls, you know, event girls, whatever it is.” I'm like, “Dude, you're in my city. This is San Diego. I promise you, I will get you some girls.” And sure enough, within about two hours, we had about five girls there, basically handing out t-shirts and directing people where to go... And that's, I guess when Dillon and Todd were like, “We definitely need him more full-time than he is currently,” and that's how it started. STEVE: Oh, man. Yeah, yeah. There have been multiple times where you've done stuff like that. Russell flies in, you fly in, you know. Guys, Dave, Dave is the one that protects Russell emotionally when we travel as well. Multiple times, just protecting him. Making sure, “Hey, we need to get somewhere,” or making sure Russell is where he needs to be, and protecting him from people who may be, respectfully, somewhat of a time suck. There are just so many stories that are just popping into my head. Oh my gosh… You guys flew in once, and Russell didn't have any time to sell, or didn't get order forms, and you literally, in the lobby… What's this story again? It's awesome. DAVE: A friend of ours, basically in the health space, flew into Denver… I love to sell, which is weird because for years I hated selling. It was like the worst thing in the world. I would never, ever sell. I would never associate myself with selling... … NEVER, dirty, bad! But, I remember, we flew in, and I was sitting there talking to the promoter, and he basically said: “Well, you know what, I thought we were gonna have more time. we ran over, we only really have about 25, 30 minutes, and you can't sell” I'm like, “Dude, we flew all the way to Denver. We're not here NOT to sell.” And he says, "No you really can't sell." So I said, "Well, how much time do we have?" He said, "Well, you've only got 30 minutes." I'm like, “Well we need at least 45.” He said, "Okay, 45 minutes." I said, "If I just have a little tiny offer, would that be okay?" He said, "Yeah, but I don't want a full pitch." I'm like, “No problem.” So I literally went into the little business center, and I created an order form on the computer they had there, (I'm sure it's so completely non-compliant)... It was, honestly, just name, email, address, phone number, credit card - that's it. It was printed off black and white and there was nothing fancy to it. I don't even know if they knew what they were buying. But, just like Russell does, he was able to get up and he spoke... I could tell the promoter at the back was just getting antsy. He's like, “You gotta hurry, you gotta hurry, gotta hurry.” I'm like, “Russell let's just go a little bit faster.” So, all of a sudden, he gets to the pitch. He's like, “Listen, I don't have time to go through this, but you're gonna get this, this, this, this, and this… ...and if you want, Dave's got some order forms, just take the order form and give them to us, and we'll process it.” I literally had someone come back there and grab it out of my hand, write on it, and slap it down right in front of Russell on the stage. Usually, we get table rushed at the back, but we had this massive podium rush. Everyone went to the front, and it was hilarious. We out the room and we just laughed. It's those types of moments, where I'm like, “No matter what it takes when you have an opportunity, we're gonna sell...” And we sold, and it did very well. STEVE: You guys knocked out the house, is what I heard. Just blew it out on a whim. I mean, come on! That's the kind of team that you guys are. It's just awesome. Hey, so I wanted to ask a little bit about this Affiliate Book that's coming out - you have such unique eyes from where you are, and where you get to sit. I know you get to work a lot with: Biz Dev Bringing in new Dream 100 people All the affiliate stuff as well … what is this New Affiliate Book, by the way? DAVE: Oh, it is super, super cool… so this whole idea behind affiliate marketing ... First of all, for those of you who aren't familiar with affiliate marketing, it's probably the easiest way to get started online, because you don't have to have your own product. You are literally promoting someone else's product. And for us, they're promoting ClickFunnels. We have a whole bunch of front end products because it's really hard to promote just a free trial - one of those was 30days.com. Another one is OFA… If you're not on OFA, my gosh, the One Funnel Away Challenge, Steven is just crushing it - so you definitely need to be in that. We had so much success with 30days.com - the idea behind that summit was, Russell went out to a lot of our Two Comma Club award-winning people, like Steven, and basically said: “Hey, if you were to lose everything, and all you had was ClickFunnels, and your marketing know-how, what would you do in the next 30 days, to make money?” ..and they put together a 540-page book, and it became a front-end for the One Funnel Away Challenge. Well, as we were looking at that model, it became super, super successful, and we realized... Steven actually helped build out Affiliate Bootcamp, which has been the primary product we've used to train our affiliates over the last year and a half, and we're at a point right now where we're trying to think… If we were to update it, how would we do it best? And we thought, instead of us doing it… Why not reach out to the people who've been the most successful doing affiliate marketing inside of ClickFunnels, and have them tell their stories… ... and use somewhat of the same premise as the 30 Day Book… Not necessarily, if you lost everything and only had 30 days, but, “If you were to start over as an affiliate, what are the things that you would wanna do?” What are the different things that would actually provide the greatest return in the shortest amount of time? Because for a lot of affiliates, it's like, “Ah, I've got my own job, I don't have a whole bunch of time, ” and it was just fascinating. Bailey Richert is the one who basically put it together for us, she went out, and interviewed 17 of our top affiliates… I was literally talking to her today, and she goes, “You know, Dave, the 30days.com was really cool, but the real secret sauce was on the back end after you bought the product you got behind the scenes of their actual funnel…” She said, "I don't know what it was with these affiliates? They literally gave every single thing on the front end." So those people who actually get involved in our New Affiliate Launch, or Summit are going to get the very best of 17, (we may actually get to 20, but 17 right now), people who have literally been crushing it as an affiliate for ClickFunnels sharing EVERYTHING: YouTube strategies How to do an offer? What is a bridge funnel? How do you build a list? How do you build a product that ties into your list to provide even greater value so that people fall in love with you, as well as the new product that you might be introducing them to? So, the whole idea behind this is really to have a person create their own product/ business on the front-end without having to create all the products, (and everything else), on the back end... … and NOT have to worry about the support. So, I'm so excited about it... because it’s literally going to be the BIGGEST game changer for us. Currently, Steve, we have five people who have done over a million dollars in affiliate commission so far. Five people who have hit the two comma club as an affiliate for ClickFunnels. STEVE: Oh man. DAVE: It's just insane. You know, when we first started this thing, we came up with this idea of the dream car… The idea behind it is, if you got a hundred people, we'd pay $500 for your lease or purchase of your dream car. At 200 people, we'd pay $1,000. I thought, “No one's ever gonna get to 200 people!” ...and now we have people who have thousands of affiliates... Thousands of ClickFunnels accounts because of it. So the idea behind affiliate marketing: It's the easiest way to get started online. This new affiliate summit is literally gonna give you, truly, the step-by-step program from 17 of the top affiliates that we have. They're gonna break down, NOT only just affiliate marketing, but how they actually get traffic, how do they actually build an offer, how they build a bridge page. And you’ll actually see some of their actual bridge pages, as well. We were sitting there trying to price this thing out, and I'm like, “You understand this is like a $500 product,” and Bailey's like, “Yeah, but summits only sell for like $47 to $67.” And I'm like, “Oh my gosh, alright, we'll do it, whatever price.” I don't know what price point we're gonna settle at - somewhere between $47 and $97, I don't know... But it's people like you, Stephen, who literally said, "Alright, let me show you exactly what it really takes. Let me go through and break it down step by step, how you actually can make tens of thousands of dollars a month, as an affiliate." And I know we pay you a pretty hefty cheque, just in affiliate commission. STEVE: Yeah, it's, uh ... And what's funny everybody, is that it's kinda on the back-end of my business and it's just because of the strategy. I gotta tell you, I loved writing the 30 Days chapter, but the affiliate chapter... oh my gosh, I took all of Christmas, like three or four days, to write that thing - it was beautiful. DAVE: Well actually Bailey, (just between you and I), even though anyone who listens to this will now know it, Bailey actually said yours is the best one… … honestly, because it was so detailed, Stephen. The way you did it, she actually wants to lead with yours to set the stage for the other ones... Because of the way you talked about: Bridge Funnels Offers Bonuses I mean, you were our top affiliate for 30days.com, and it was just crazy. And, I've seen you do that multiple times, even in our One Funnel Away Challenge. And the crazy thing about the One Funnel Away Challenge was you came in dead last and didn't start until like three days left. It was crazy. STEVE: That 10X Secrets thing... DAVE: That's what it was. And you were right in the middle of OfferMind, I think. Was that it? STEVE: Yeah, yeah. DAVE: And I was asking you to teach some of our speaker training, and you had no time. No time at all. And yet, to see you come in, and use this strategy that you now taught in that chapter, it was just brilliant to see. The thing that I love most about the chapter that you wrote, is your chapter actually goes in through, literally, step by step… It's how you teach - you're so very methodical in teaching practical steps - literally, it's ‘paint by numbers.’ It's the easiest way you can do it… I mean, step one, step two, step three. And because you've been through it, you lived through it, and you started with nothing… ...and NOW, you're one of our top affiliates! It's just neat that you were so kind and so generous with spending as much time as you spent on that chapter. It's probably going to be one of our leading chapters. STEVE: Oh man, I appreciate that a lot. Well, what can somebody do ... What's a favorite way ... I mean, you have such a unique area that you get to see all these different affiliates… If somebody’s new and doesn't have much of a following, what should they be doing if they want to become an affiliate? DAVE: I think, it goes back to, probably your secret sauce, and that's publishing. I think, honestly, and as much as people hate it, I think it’s one of the coolest things. People wanna find someone they can connect to, so documenting your journey as an affiliate, is probably the best thing that you can do, because later you’re gonna be able to sell that journey. And it may take a little bit of time, but if I was a brand new affiliate, just starting off, I would start publishing on a regular basis. You could pick: Dotcom Secrets Expert Secrets 30 Days ….I don't care which product you want. I would literally go in, I would make it your own, I would teach what you learn, on a Facebook live, on an Instagram story, whatever it might be, and refer people to it: “This is what I've learned.” Because people love understanding the take a way that you got and seeing how that you're actually using that. So, I think that's probably one of the things that I would look at. Where MOST affiliates go wrong is, they think they're just gonna take the affiliate link and just promote it directly, and that's why I love your chapter… because you were so anti that. You're like, “You can't do that! Let me show you what you can do.” And I think, as an affiliate just getting started, just pick one thing… And, again, as you mentioned before, just go all in on it. Study it. Make it your own. And that way when you're teaching it, people are going, “Oh, that's how that works. Oh, okay, now I understand,” and then people can connect with that… and they'll love the journey as well. STEVE: Oh man, that's awesome. Thank you so much for taking the time. You know, I have such respect for you, and what you do, and just love your family - my wife and I talk about you guys a lot. We love your sons, they're all awesome and incredible - we just love your family and everything that you guys do. And I really mean what I say, I really believe that half the reason Russell can do what he does is that he’s got you in his corner, just fighting battles he didn't even know about. You know what I mean? Just going to bat, getting all the dirties away that are out there trying to take advantage, you know, stuff like that. It's just this role that is like so, I don't even know, it's special. And it's fun to see it. DAVE: Thank you. STEVE: So I just, anyway. Any parting advice or words before we end up here? DAVE: You know, for me, I think the one thing I would tell people is just don't give up. I think the hardest part for affiliate marketing, or even for a lot of the online marketing is just, you have a dream out there, and you see it, and you want it so bad… ... and yet things don't go exactly the way that you want. You can joke around about this idea, being one funnel away, but you truly are… You just don't know which funnel that's gonna be. And so, I would just say: If this is what you wanna do, don't let anything get in your way. It's possible, things happen... it doesn't go as fast as you want, I'll let everyone understand, I'm totally transparent... It never works as fast as you want ,...but for those who stick it out, you get to this little corner and you literally hockey stick and life takes off for you. I saw the same thing with you last year, where you got going and you’re putting forth all this effort, and all of a sudden you get to this little corner, and you literally hockey stick, and life just takes off for you. And I think the problem is, most people aren't willing… Again it's that, 99 yards does not a touchdown make… You gotta be willing to go all the way As long as you don't quit, and just realize that you're in that phase of learning… There are two parts… You have the: Learning phase Earning phase Too often people wanna jump into the earning phase, without paying their dues in that learning phase. If you'll spend the time in that learning phase, the money that will come later in life - it's just crazy. Astronomical. STEVE: Oh, man. Well, thank you so much. You're a friend, a mentor, a brother, and just, I love and appreciate you. Thanks for being on. Awesome episode, right? Hey, bear with me for just a moment while I tell you about makeaffiliatesgreatagain.com. Probably one of the most fragile phases of being an entrepreneur is that tender spot where you have just enough cash coming in to get excited, but expenses also increase a little while you take on new tools and new systems, new teams. It can be heart pounding, and frankly, nerve-wracking. Well, one of the ways I've kept ownership of my companies and NEVER picked up any debt or used any of our family finances to grow the business, was through affiliate marketing. My first dollar online actually came from affiliate marketing, ONLY a few years ago. So I often get asked the question: “Steve, how can you have been bootstrapping this and scraping by so hard just a few years ago, but now have a business that makes millions in revenue?” … that's a fair question. So besides having kick butt products, when I've needed to get some extra cash for an expensive project, I have a very specific method of affiliate marketing that gets me paid to sell other people's products. You wanna see how I do it? Just go to makeaffiliatesgreatagain.com. ClickFunnels actually wants to know how I've been doing this as well… So I just wrote a chapter in ClickFunnels new book called Affiliate Bootcamp... and if you wanna see my chapter, and be shown how I treat affiliate cash in my business, just go to makeaffiliatesgreatagain.com… You'll get a bunch of other cool stuff from me - like, the actual Make Affiliates Great Again Funnel… The one you're gonna see there - it’s pre-built - it’s awesome - and you can download it. You also get my audio chapter on how I create affiliate offers. You get the actual video of me training my team on how to build Make Affiliates Great Again - it's crazy valuable. Plus you also get several my other stage speeches. How I launched my affiliate offers… And you'll even get a discount ticket to OfferMind… + the Make Affiliates Great Again Mini-Course… Is it okay if I over deliver??? If you want ALL that for free... plus other things, literally just sign up at makeaffiliatesgreatagain.com... and then, sign up for the New Affiliate Bootcamp through my affiliate link. Go figure. My friends, get rich, give back.

Today, we're taking with infopreneur extraordinaire Bailey Richert. Bailey is the host of the Infopreneur Summit, a ClickFunnels user (and affiliate) and was a speaker at the most recent Funnel Hacking Live. She is a wealth of knowledge! What is being an infopreneur all about? It's about how you can take what you know so well that you are extremely confident packaging it into something new and delivering it online!. Bailey helps people who want to share their life experience, passion, and knowledge with others. They do this online in a way that also makes money primarily through information products and services. Hence the term “INFOpreneur”. So if you are creating courses or have a membership site and YOU are creating the content for it...then you are an INFOpreneur. One of the cool things about infopreneurship is that it is such a versatile business model. Infopreneurs can be service providers and vice versa. Being an infopreneur can be just part of your business. It doesn't necessarily have to be your WHOLE business. "People should consider how they can leverage information products and services in their own business to help their bottom line."- Bailey Richert Some people go into business and seek out infopreneurship from the outset. To do this you have to get clear on your messaging, who it is you want to serve, and how you want to serve them. Infopreneurs are most often personal brands, doing business under their own name to position themselves as the expert. Bailey often sees with new infopreneurs is they have difficulty separating their business brand from their personal life. One of the biggest mistakes she see people make is starting their business based on all the things that interest them. This is the quickest way to failure because people don't know what “box” to put you in and that's what they are looking for...the box in which you belong. Instead, as the infopreneur it's our job to choose the box for them. We need to select the box that we want to be in and narrow down that focus before other people decide where we belong. Knowing who you want to find you and who you want to refer you and what you want to be known for is paramount. The great thing about infopreneurship is that you can create info products in almost any niche. Bailey is leading the Infopreneur Summit this month. This is the fourth year she is hosting this event… In 2016, she launched the first summit. She grew her email list, brought in income, built a network of influencers, and gained credibility as a Summit Host. She immediately turned around after the first one and said I know I can do better. The second time she did the summit she was about to QUADRUPLE their results from the first summit. So she said THIS IS IT! THIS IS MY THING! Bailey is clear on her positioning. The Infopreneur summit is for the beginning and budding infopreneurs. That is: someone who has learned about infopreneurship, but hasn't taken any steps yet. They are interested in learning more about what it's all about. OR… they have taken some initial steps, they are committed to this idea that they want to be an infopreneur and they are looking to learn from the experts who are doing well in this online world. Day 1 of the summit is all about business foundations. Day 2 is about your online presence which includes social media. Day 3 is about revenue stream. Day 4 is about sales, marketing, and scaling. The speakers are covering a wide variety of topics. They are going to get into the nitty gritty of all of the these topics. Bailey tries to keep things actionable. She wants to give you the exact strategies you need to make your business successful. She runs her summit the same way. There is so much opportunity in this summit for online business owners. One topic I really wanted to bring up on this episode is Clickfunnels. Bailey has been using it in her business since 2015. Bailey describes Clickfunnels as a full marketing suite. It allows you to create leadpages, landing pages, and full sales funnels with order forms, upsales, downsells, order confirmation pages, membership sites and more. She uses Clickfunnels for everything! She is using it for her Virtual Summit funnel. Because she can clone the previous funnel and tweak it, she feels this year's Infopreneur summit funnel is the best it's ever been. Cloning means you can make a copy. There is also a share feature in Clickfunnels which allows a funnel or pages to be copied from one account to another #powerful. Bailey was a speaker at the most recent Funnel Hacking Live conference where she spoke about Virtual Summits. The Clickfunnels community is diverse. At FHL attendees self select their skills, business and focus with ribbons on the name tag #sosmart. You can use Clickfunnels to sell products in any niche and in any business. Going to live events is a fabulous way of connecting with people you may never meet otherwise, even if you're in the same online community. This conference uses the software as the common denominator. For Bailey, Clickfunnels is ideal for housing virtual summits because it's not actually about the summit event. The most important part of your summit is your funnel! This is because your funnel is where you are getting people on your email list that's also where you are going to be selling your all access pass and other products. When you use Clickfunnels, it lends itself to all the info products and services you might want to sell on the heels of the event. Marketing and technology intersect so deeply. Without technology, your marketing doesn't have any legs. Without marketing, your technology doesn't have any purpose. They really go hand in hand. When you have a tool that allows you that can help you leverage both, that's where the sweet spot is. When it comes to determining what you can be creating to bring yourself into the infopreneur space you have to consider where you are in your business. One thing Bailey sees is Infopreneurs who are relatively new, whether they have been in business for a while or not, the first thing that say/do is “I need an online course.” Bailey loves online courses, but there are lots of things that need to be considered before launching a course such as current audience size and audience. This is one of the reasons she recommends doing a Virtual Summit. A Virtual Summit can be lots of things. It's not just a revenue stream. It's also a lead generation events, an authority building event, and a community building event whereas a course is JUST a revenue stream. You can use a Virtual Summit to LAUNCH a course to that new warm or hot audience that has been created by the Virtual Summit. But to have a successful summit you have to know where you are trying to take your audience and what you want to teach them as an infopreneur. When talking about if a Virtual Summit is right for you, Bailey says you need to ask yourself “Is this something you are committed to promoting over the long term?” You can't just put something up on your website and expect it to just produce well for you if you aren't doing something to market and drive traffic that product. If you are a service based business you might have to get into a different mindset. You have to think about “How am I going to continually bring attention to this product? Is it going to be through an affiliate programs, Facebook Ads, a new organic traffic strategy, etc?” Connect with Jaime: Instagram: @techofbusiness Twitter: @techofbusiness Facebook: @yourbiztech LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaimeslutzky/ Email: jaime@techofbusiness.com Connect with Bailey: Website: www.baileyrichert.com Email: contact@baileyrichert.com Infopreneur Summit: https://techofbusiness.com/infopreneur/

Links: FunnelHackerRadio.com FunnelHackerRadio.com/freetrial FunnelHackerRadio.com/dreamcar ---Transcript--- Speaker 1: 00:00 Welcome to funnel hacker radio podcast, where we go behind the scenes and uncover the tactics and strategies top entrepreneurs are using to make more sales, dominate their markets, and how you can get those same results. Here's your host, Dave Woodward. Welcome. Speaker 2: 00:18 So excited to basically have everybody here. We are doing a behind the scenes of 30 days.com. So once you guys probably know who I am, I'm Dave Woodward. I'm, I run a lot of our business development opportunities over here at Click Funnels and all the top line revenue stuff. Always having a lot of fun. This is by far been one of our funnest, most exciting things we've done in a long, long time. What I want to make sure is that you guys see and understand behind the scenes of how all this happens. So with that I wanna introduce to you daily. Richard, how are you doing? I'm doing great. How are you? I'm so excited to have you. So, uh, most people don't know that much about you. So those guys just don't know about Bailey. Bailey actually has been a business coach for infopreneurs for quite some time. And also one of her specialties actually is doing this whole virtual summits. So last year at funnel hacking live, she was sitting in the audit. In fact, you know what Bailey, instead of telling your story, you shared your own story of what it was like and how all this thing came about. Speaker 3: 01:12 Sure. So funnel hiking live. Two thousand 18 was in March down in Disney world and it was an absolutely incredible event and I was sitting there. This was about the third day I was over on the right hand side of the stage because I'm not one of those people that loves to be all claustrophobic in the middle and I'm sitting there and I'm looking at all of these incredible speakers, but I'm also just positioned in a way that I can also see everybody else in the room and I'm thinking to myself, there's only 3,500 people here I think was the number of attendees. And I knew because I've been a click funnels members since 2015, that we had over 62,000 users at that time. And also hundreds. You know, thousands of people here in this facebook group, and I was thinking to myself, you know, this is just crazy to me that so many people aren't going to be able to see these awesome speakers and something needs to be done about that. Speaker 3: 02:03 I said, click funnels needs to host a summit, wrestled needs to host a virtual summit. I'd already been doing virtual summits in my business for a couple of years. I figured wrestle, obviously knew about them and he definitely did. Later, many weeks down the road after he and I connected, he told me that he actually used virtual summits to grow his business when he was just getting started, you know, decades ago. And so it just so happened that I knew Julie Soy and I'm sure everybody out there in the clickfunnels community. That was Julie. But here's the thing. I know Julie because of a summit that I had done for my business two years earlier, so some. It's a really fantastic for networking. And I reached out to her and I said, Hey Julie, I had this crazy idea. I said, I think Russell needs to host a summit, but no, Russell doesn't know me from Adam and I definitely wanted to run this idea up the flagpole first to see what you thought of it and she knew that I knew summits and was like, I think it's a great idea, so you know, jump forward a of weeks, months later, and we ended up coming up with this 30 days idea because Russell had already been thinking about how he could bring the knowledge of his two comma club speakers to a greater audience. Speaker 3: 03:13 And so he had already kind of thought about doing the 30 days book and when I came onto the scene I said, why don't we do a book and a summit? Why don't we add an interview portion to this project and really let the speakers be able to tell their own 30 day plans as well. And so what you guys are seeing now@thirtydays.com is the, is the result of all of that? Speaker 2: 03:35 Well, I am so excited. I'm sorry. I keep looking over my other screen here. Trying to make sure I've got everything working, but the kind of most excited about is kind of going behind the scenes. Let people know exactly how all this happened. So with that said, I'd like to first of all, for those of you guys who aren't familiar with, uh, the whole 30 days summit, um, what I want to do is I'm gonna actually show you here to the video. So I'm sharing my screen here and let this come up so you guys can actually see the video that Russell did that kind of tells the story of exactly how this works. What would you do? Speaker 4: 04:09 Imagine this. You suddenly lose everything, your money, your name, your reputation, you have bills, pow high of people harassing you for money over the phone. And all you have left is a click funnels account and the Internet access for 30 days. What would you do with nate? Number one, day number 32. Save yourself. It's an interesting question, isn't it? I'm sure that the assets 100 different people, I get 100 different answers. What might work, but what about people who have already done it? People who started from nothing actually created a click funnels account and eventually made it. What would they do? They each had already lived it. What would they do if they just start over again? Right now, I decided to run an experiment. I send out an email to over a hundred people, but not just any people. People who'd actually already wanted two comma club award, meaning that made at least a million dollars inside of a single sales funnel. Speaker 4: 04:54 I want to know exactly what they would do to get back on top data. Number one, what would you do day number two, date number three, four, five, six. All live today. Number 30. If you had to start over again today, which is your marketing and your photo building skills, what would you do to get back into the two comma club? Again, from the hundred emails I send only 30 people responding back. The eastern sent me a detailed step by step process of what they would do, starting with no product, no list, no traffic, no funnel, and then detailing exactly what they would do and why they would do it. In a simple step by step process, each of their 30 day plans, so different to eat, some lead you on a path of absolute certainty to success. I honestly don't know how anyone are any of these 30 day plans could possibly not succeed. Everyone who's ever tried to make money online needs to see these experiments. Anyone who's ever had a click funnels account now has execution plans to get them back on top. Just pick any of them and follow the path where you are today, all the way to the stage where you receive your two Comma Club award at funnel hacking live. Find success with click funnels and no longer a matter of luck. It's an absolute certainty. Speaker 2: 06:06 I love, love, love, love, love that video. Oh my gosh. So much fun. So I want to make sure people understand exactly behind the scenes and how all this came about. So you told us how that Kinda gets started. You now understand exactly what was proposed to our 100 of our top two comma club award winning a award winners and basically 30 plans. So what I want to find out from you, as you went through this, you had the opportunity to actually interviewing them. You created the book, you created all the crazy content, the assets, everything. So tell people kind of what did you learn out of? You're pulling all this stuff together. Speaker 3: 06:39 Oh my goodness. First of all, even though I have been a coach for a couple of years, the amount of stuff that I learned from these people is crazy. So even if you are thinking like, I have a successful business, I'm making six figures a year, you still need this because what you are going to take away from these individuals is ridiculous. It's amazing. But here's the thing also, you know, we have 30 different speakers and they're all in different niches, right? But they're all in different industries. You know, we have some people that are doing info products, some people that are doing ecommerce. Even when I was interviewing somebody who was working in a different niche than I do in my business or in a different industry, even, I was still able to learn something from them about the way they've designed their funnel or something about the way they're using social media to promote their business. Speaker 3: 07:27 So there's something to be gleaned from every single interview even if you don't exactly do the same thing. And one of the biggest things I've learned is that as I was looking through all of the speakers plans and I, you know, I read every single plan, that $600 book everyone's getting. I've read that at least three times and having of course recorded the interviews and then edited them and watch them over and over again. I feel intimately involved with everybody's plan. You start to see these repeat concepts over and over and over again. You see that these people who have gotten to the two comma club or doing certain things that are getting them there. So you know, we are seeing every single speaker almost talking about their dream. 100 talking about partnering with affiliates. And if you're not partnering with other people in your network, then you are missing out on money. Speaker 3: 08:15 You see them talking about using auto webinars in order to sell info products and how they're, you know, getting success with those. Um, how, if you need to be getting testimonials for your services and your products. Me Actually, when I was going through these plans, how many speakers were like, oh yeah, the first week I wouldn't be going to get testimonials from people that I've worked with in the past from people that know me from people that, you know, can be character references. Even that's something that they would be going after. So then it was, it was such a huge learning curve for me. I guarantee you you are going to learn something new. Guarantee it. Speaker 2: 08:50 I love it. Well, I'm so excited. It's, it was more or less safe that it totally kind of blew my action. We made a mistake, to be honest with you. So what was supposed to happen was. So the way the funnel works is you sign up, you register for, for the opportunity basically to get involved in the summit, which isn't going to take place until the 17th, 18th and 19th of September and but if you, once you register, the first op he have is to actually buy the book that Bailey was just talking about and that whole idea was to buy the book of every single thing has been put together literally 600 pages. It is this massively thick book we're having. It's still, I'm waiting for the original to come here. I'm so, so excited about it. But you got that and then you also got put into the members area where it had all the videos of every single person and their daily plan as far as exactly what was supposed to happen. Speaker 2: 09:42 And then also get signed up with one funnel away challenged with Steven Larsen and Julie Coyne and Russell. It starts in October. Where we screwed up was those people who bought, they weren't supposed to have access to these videos until September 17th. So the member's area went live and people got access and in a way it's been a good thing because people are so, so excited. Oh my gosh, I'm getting blown up on facebook. I'm getting blown up on my personal message. Everyone's going, oh my gosh, trait loads was just the most amazing mind blowing thing I've ever seen. I mean, everybody's. I was going through this thing. A lot of the feelings are going, oh gosh. See Spitzer meagan's one. It's. Anyways, it's been going crazy and I'm excited because it allows people the opportunity of really being a part of it. And I think that one of the biggest problems we run into these days is, is everyone kind of talks about, well, it could happen and maybe. Speaker 2: 10:32 And it only works for them. And I remember, Gosh, 10, almost 12 years ago when I first got started in this. I have those exact same questions. Those same concerns. It know it. It's, it's just the lucky people. There's some secret to this whole thing. I can't figure it out and I'm frustrated and I keep sitting here going, gosh, there's got to be some way. Something I can do and nothing seemed to work and so I love the idea of Louis saying, yeah, you've already made it, but let's strip it all away. You don't have your friends, you don't have your context, you don't have anything. Nothing but a clickfunnels account and that's it. And Internet access. That's it. So what are you going to go and Bailey? I think the part I've loved as far as working with you on this one, you are so thorough. Speaker 2: 11:12 I mean one of the most thorough people I've ever seen when it comes to pulling this together because anybody who works with us understands we're real good with macro, but we let you run with it and you did such an awesome job. I was. I was so impressed with your ability to literally extract out of these people day by day what they would do. I, I, I remember we first rolled this thing out. I was kind of questioning going, I don't know how transparent these people are really going to be. How did you, how did you get them to really spill the beans? Okay. Well, first of all, they wrote the plans first actually, so we didn't just dive into an interview. For those of you who have youtube interview channels or podcast, you know that if you just go in and start chatting with someone, you're not going to be Speaker 3: 11:54 getting the best value out of them. You have to come prepared as an interviewer. So the first thing we did was we actually had them write the plans and let me tell you, Dave, I did not let them get off easy and Julie will tell you this too, because I would message her and I would say I don't think it's good enough and I would really, I would do that and I would go back and I would work with everyone and I would say, you know what, you, you, you skimmed over this. I want to know more like, let's dive deeper into this and I really want to flesh this out. So I really made sure that the plans were top notch. First. Speaker 2: 12:24 I'm gonna interrupt you because I actually had a couple of people come to me and going deep, whose bailee and ask you, who are you sure, why do I have to do this? And again, none of these people got paid to do this. No, it's literally out of the kindness of their heart and in their generosity and giving back to the clickfunnels community. But they're like, you know, Dave, I don't have the kind of time to go through and create the kind of plan that she wants. She wants it literally like day by day by day. And I'm like, listen guys, please, please just do me a huge, huge favor and just bear with us and most importantly just pour your heart and soul into this thing. And in fact, I was talking to David Asarnow. I'm just a few weeks ago, and he was. He was talking about the fact that he literally was on this fourth of July vacation and shut down his whole, he's old families out there and listen, I'm going to do this. And he's actually taking that is going to use that to create a six figure business out of the business plan that he gave you. So congratulations on your ability to pull that out. Speaker 3: 13:22 Thank you. And you know, when Russell even said, I think he says in the video where he mentions in some point that we asked 100 people, we really did. He's not just saying that we really. Yeah, we really did contact over 100 different people, two comma club winners for this and a lot of them were like to write such a detailed plan is, it's a lot. So the fact that we were able to get like 30 detailed plans up to the caliber that I wanted, I was, I was thrilled. Speaker 2: 13:51 Well you did an amazing job and I think again, it's a huge tribute to you. It's also massive tribute to just the fact that they care so much about our audience. They're not. It's their way of giving back. And I think that's the part I love most about this. We joke around all the time about our whole click funnels and the ability that it actually, it, it's really there to help other people and I think once you've had success, the most important thing is to grab a hold of someone else. I'm pulling up to your same type of success and this is a huge tribute to them and all 30 of them for doing it, uh, because I know how much work it was. And again, I thought it was just fantastic. Speaker 3: 14:30 Yeah. And it's like you said, they did not get paid to do this. They put in so much time writing those plans and then doing the interviews and everything else in order to be a part of this. So we're really grateful. Speaker 2: 14:41 So one of the things that you learn in doing it. Speaker 3: 14:43 Oh man, so much. So first of all, I want to say that I feel like we're sleeping on a really important part of that membership area that I feel like people aren't paying attention to. You're getting access to all the interviews, but there's also a second interview, a premium content interview that I recorded with every single speaker. It's actually a little different. It's a screen share interview where they are actually walking me through inside of clickfunnels accounts, how they set up their two comma club funnels and I feel like we're not making a big enough deal about that because honestly I learned so much from watching them for. So for those of you who are even saying to yourself, well, I've been on click funnels for like five years, four years, however long we've even been around. I think with click funnels since the beginning too, and I'm telling you that I learned so much about how everybody is structuring their funnels. Speaker 3: 15:35 That gave me new ideas, that gave me a new design ideas and all that stuff. So just as valuable as the 30 day plans were. I learned so much from actually diving in and learning and you'll see when you watch the interviews, I don't shy away from the questions. I'm like, wait, why did you do that? What plugin is that? Where does that step lead next? Tell me about that so that you can actually see exactly how it's done. So I mean they were literally funnel hacking themselves and there's so much value to that because when we funnel hack someone else, we have to make assumptions, right? We have to look and see what they did and we used to say, well, it looks like this goes here, and I think this is why they did that, but when we had the two comma club speakers funnel hack themselves, they were able to reveal their secrets and they did. It was cool because they didn't just say, oh, well, you know, we made it green because it's a color. I like. They would say, no, we actually split tested this headline versus this headline and this one was better. We made it this color because of this reason. We did this because of that, and to learn all of that knowledge for a funnel builder invaluable, invaluable. Speaker 2: 16:41 Oh, you know what? I really appreciate that because you're right. I think we've kind of. We haven't focused as much on that as we have about they're going through and creating their plan and then the one funnel away challenge and then having the actual videos of the videos that you created with them going through it. So I, I appreciate that. I'm going to make sure we'll reach out to everybody and let them know that. I think the other really cool, crazy thing out of all this is when we originally I thought up this whole idea, we thought we don't promote the second we do everything else where we're just going to wait 40 percent commission and then literally two days before is we're setting up the affiliate center. I sit there talking to Russell. I'm like, anything else you think we could do to really entice people to get involved and promote this? Speaker 2: 17:19 He goes, you know what, Dave, we've never done this before. I'm like, oh no, where are we going with this Russell? Because listen, I've never ever done this. I know, but let's. Let's do a hundred percent commission. I'm like, what? You got to be kidding me? We're losing money on this thing. He's like, no, I want to do it. So we actually are doing a hundred percent commission where they actually get 100 percent xo. Once you opt in, the very next thing that happens is you need. Then you go to the option to buy the book and to get access to the membership site and in that membership site, get their plans, get the but most importantly, get behind the scenes of Bailey going through their actual two comma club funnel in clickfunnels with them. You get all that and instead of us typically keeping 60 percent, we are give a hundred percent. So you sign up for that cost you 100 bucks, you get all that and you get the hundred bucks back. The craziest thing is we're now seeing, we've done almost $300,000, 3000 copies of the book. I thought we actually had to order some more books day. I only thought we were gonna do too fast. And so, um, we've had to order now order 10,000 copies of this book because of the crazy impact it's having on so, so many people. But Speaker 3: 18:26 it's funny, Dave, because whenever me and Russell and a couple others in the voxer we're talking about like how many books to preorder and people were like, I don't know, 1000, 2000. I knew in my heart and in my head I knew it was going to be more. I'm like, I just, I know from just the power of doing summits, but then also just the value. And then when you made it 100 percent commission, I'm like, nope, we're doing. I know we're going to do more. I know it. Speaker 2: 18:50 Well we are far surpassed 5,000. Between five and 10,000. It's kind of where I think we'll be here. And that's crazy considering today's the 10th of September, we started this on the sixth and so it's been, we've got 10 more days in this thing and I mean it's just. Anyways, I'm super excited, super appreciative of view and I think we'd really have to focus more on is that those two comma club winners, Ashley funnel hacking themselves. I'm going to make a pointed out today. We'll go out to them. So for those of you guys who haven't, for some reason I haven't purchased it, you can go to 30 days.com, you can get a copy of the book, you get access to the virtual summit a, I'm going to end up taking this off. We'll strip the audio. This will put this on a funnel hacker radio, and so those of you guys would listen to it. Speaker 2: 19:31 I don't even know if this is going to be live. If you're listening to this by the time we get posted, but realize that we want to make sure that if you want to be involved in this, go to 30 days.com by the book and then if you want to go ahead and share it with other people. The part I'm most excited about after all the crazy work that Bailey's done on this, we. Then one thing you have to understand here, clickfunnels is things change all the time. This was not the original funnel. This was nothing. Original offer is changed like four or five times and I appreciate barely being so patient with us because we continue to change it all the time, but uh, so now we have the one funnel away challenge. It starts October 18th and it's going to be really a fun product, our project. So now you're going to go through basically learning about these 30 days and then he get Stephen Larsen and Julian Russell. They're basically coaching you through implementing your own 30 days. And so again, this wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for you. Bailey. So again, massive. Thank you to you. Speaker 3: 20:22 Thank you. And thank you guys. I click funnels though for helping me see the vision through like, you guys believed in it just as much, you know, it was awesome. So Speaker 2: 20:30 any other things you can think of? The people who need to know about this. I would also just say, you know, this makes sense. Speaker 3: 20:35 Fantastic offer for cold traffic or even warm traffic because even if somebody is not necessarily familiar with the click funnels culture and doesn't necessarily know what the two Comma Club award or the dream car award is, everybody wants to be a millionaire, right? Everybody wants to have that seven figure funnel and so the idea of 30 millionaires really coming together and sharing their secrets in business is very, very appealing to even the more cold traffic parts of your audience. And what I would also say is keep in mind that you're not just making those 100 percent commissions on the sale, but sticky cookies guys. I mean because the one funnel away challenge is going to help people understand the power of click funnels for their own business. Because once they get that funnel launched and they really start to see the incredible value that click funnels can bring to their business, they're going to stay and you're the one that's going to be reaping the longterm commission of that. So if you are an affiliate and you're not promoting this, I don't know why because this is one of the best offers. I think you could promote as an affiliate. Speaker 2: 21:39 I love it. So I have to ask. Out of all 30, who is your favorite? Speaker 3: 21:43 Oh Man. I don't even hate. I don't even want to answer because first of all, all of them or so were so good. Everybody's been talking about trey. Trey Lewellen. I think his is one of the best because to me it was. It was so different. It's a little bit different than what we normally hear, I think, and he has a really actionable plan that anybody can do. I, of course, I absolutely love Julie. She talks about being a service provider. If you are just getting started in business, how you can really bootstrap as a service provider. Spencer meekum talks about affiliate marketing. I mean, Gosh, I don't want me on the spot. That's not even fair. They're all incredible for for completely different reasons, which is one of the unique aspects of this event as well. You know, if if every 30 day plan was the same, it would be. It would be boring, but trust me, that is not the case. Every single one is so different and yet you will find a successful elements running through them all. Speaker 2: 22:40 I again, I totally agree. I think the part that I, I liked the most as you were mentioning there is they're each different. The other thing is they're all different verticals. They're all different niches. It's not like these are just people selling info products. I mean, you've got Amazon sellers, you've got affiliate marketers, you've got book publishers, you've got agencies, you've got chiropractors, real estate. I mean, I mean there's something for everyone. It really is, and I think that's the part I thought was really the most important thing is so often people think, well, it doesn't apply to me. Listen, if you can't go through those 30 days and find one, one plan, all you need is one plan. You just find one plan. There's got to be one plan out there that will fit what did that, whatever niche or whatever vertical you're in or that you want to get in. Speaker 2: 23:23 And I seen a lot of people have been talking to them and saying, well, you know, I don't know which one to go. I'm like, just pick one, you just pick one. I don't care if you pick, just pick one and just go for that one is and implement it. It takes. Just literally go through it step by step, day by day, take the next 30 days, pick one and go through it and it's funny. We were talking about trade and I remember, Gosh, working with trey when he first got started with click is his whole thing was I'm going to do a funnel every single week and I thought, man, that's a lot of fights at this point. I'm sitting there thinking, you know what, if for some reason if you started literally and took one of those and just did one for the next 30 days, if that doesn't work, then do a different one. If that doesn't work, you're going to learn so much in the process that something is going to click. Something's going to work and again, I just, we wouldn't have this asset if it wasn't for you. Bailey and again, we're super, super appreciative for all the hard work and effort that you put into this. Speaker 3: 24:15 Thank you. It's been an absolute blast. One of the best things in my career so far. Hands down. Speaker 2: 24:20 Any other parting words? Speaker 3: 24:22 You know, I would just say the only other thing I would say is that for some people, because I used to work with a lot of beginning and budding business owners, that's, that was my target audience for a really long time in my business and I think that um, not only is this book perfect for them because we are starting from scratch, but the speakers did such an amazing job packing the value into each one of their plans, that the only to do it in 30 days might seem overwhelming to some people. So the only other thing that I would say is that when even if you look at that plan and you're like, wow, 30 days, that's so fast, you know, that's, that's, you know, that's going to go by and just a flash, go cares do it. Ninety days doing 120 days, you know, you've got the plan there, you can do it in your time. That's really what it's all about. The 30 days gives each one of the plans structure and I love that so much, but you know, for those of you who are looking at this and saying like, wow, that's so much, you know, it's, it's okay to do it in your pace. The point is you've got to plan a plan to success and like you said, just pick one. Speaker 2: 25:22 I love it. So from everything you've learned, what are you going to do differently? What are you going to take and implement into your own business? Speaker 3: 25:27 Oh, absolutely. So first of all, in my own auto web, in one of my own auto webinar funnels, I've already made some changes based upon the interviews that I did specifically with Julie stowing, Caitlin pyle, and Steven Larsen who were showing us behind the scenes. Again, in those premium interviews, you can only get when you upgrade about how they did their auto webinar funnels. There were some changes that they had done, some things that I saw in there that I wanted to do and implement. It's changes into my auto webinar funnel. That was definitely one of the big things, you know, I was already doing like the dream 100 thing in my own business because of the way I do summits, but I've seen how I can implement that concept into other things in my business outside of just doing a summit, so that's been cool. I'm really going aggressive on getting video testimonials for my products and my services because of how I've seen how all of these two common cold winters are using them in their business. I could go on, but those are just a couple of the ones. Speaker 2: 26:24 I love it. Well guys, Bailey enough. We're actually so excited. This whole virtual summit thing. It is so funny. It's one of those things where if you take a look, everything that was old becomes new again and this was summit's I remember when it used to be telesummits before we had the all the video and everything else and when I first got started online tell someone's were the rage and then everyone's stopped doing them and no one's done this whole virtual summit. So we actually have a special treat at funnel hacking live because Bailey's going to be speaking on stage about all the craziness, about virtual summits, how they work, how you can do it. So again, sit close to Bailey's Bailey. I know people are gonna. Want to know how they reach out to you? What's the best way they can connect with you? Speaker 3: 27:05 Well you can check out my website, Bailey, Richard Dot com or you can send me an email at contact at Bailey, Richard Dot com and I'd love to hear from you. Speaker 2: 27:13 I love it. Again, everyone were super excited. We are to go to 30 days.com. I don't know what more we can save you. We haven't told you enough reasons why to get it. Just go and read the sales letter and to the video. Hopefully Russell can, can make it better than weekend. There's no reason you shouldn't be participating in this virtual summit. It happens again on, uh, July, September, 17th, 18th and the 19th. So the way it's gonna work, I don't believe you don't like to tell people how it actually works on those days. Speaker 3: 27:41 Yeah, absolutely. So when you actually sign up@thirtydays.com, what you're doing is you're grabbing your free ticket, which means that you are now going to be put on the list in order to receive the links that you'll need to watch the free interviews when they go live on September 17th, 18th and 19th. But here's the thing, we are only going to be releasing 10 speaker interviews each one of those days. So 30 speakers three days, 10 per day, right? And you're only going to be able to watch those interviews for 24 hours each. They are only available for a limited period of time. So September 17th, the first 10 are going to go up. Twenty four hours later, they're going to be taken down September 18th. The second side goes up 24 hours later if they're taken down. Okay? So you will be able to watch the first interview, the face to face interview that I did with each one of the speakers where they're going through their 30 day plans. That's what's included with your free ticket. When you upgrade, what you're going to be getting is instant access to the membership area that contains all of those interviews so you can watch them anywhere you want as many times as you want for life. Plus those behind the scenes funnel hacking videos we were talking about, plus a physical copy, that 600 page book of all of the Thirty Day plans from the speakers plus the admission to the one funnel away challenge which starts in October. So that's basically how it works. Speaker 2: 28:59 That's perfect. If you guys have any question on virtual summits, I highly recommend you reach out to Bailey. Bailey. Richard is Richard Dotcom. Yep. Bailey, Richard R I c h e r t and again, huge props to you. Huge. Thank you for pulling this thing together.

If you haven't gone there, please go there. Uh, today is, we're recording this on September the 10th and so literally a week from today is when it starts, so please go right now and register@thirtydays.com if nothing else at least registered so you can get the free access, but you'd be absolutely insane and crazy not to get, just upgrade to the premium so you get the, you have to get the videos now you can get, get the video starting today and you start watching them and getting go through finding questions you have.

[Recap] Steven, Melissa and Alan recap Tuesday's episode with Patrick Siles. Patrick's a serial-entrepreneur whose most recent business, vid-alytics, is a video platform that host and streams videos on your website while also collecting powerful analytics for marketers. -- [00:00] What's up, Creative Hustlers! [00:30] Happy Birthday to Melissa! [01:00] How do you pick your ice cream cone? [01:43] Tuesday was with serial-ass entrepreneur Patrick Siles. [02:00] Patrick came to us from Hawk Mikado. [02:50] The story how Patrick became an entrepreneur. [03:25] Last Minutes Inc. [03:40] Patrick started over 7 different companies. [04:14] Patrick's first success was in supplements, but now he's doing vid-alytics. [05:00] Video is really a big part of marketing [05:25] vid-alytics came from a need in the market for good analytics. [06:11] Melissa really likes ice cream. [06:26] Analytics are skewed for videos right now, but vid-alytics gives you specific video feedback. [07:12] Why are you doing a 5-minute video if the majority only watch 1 minute? [07:30] Start with video, and you can reverse engineer that into other content. [07:50] Video is too complicated, so most people don't have the time to do it. [08:10] Today's Moment of Italian [08:30] The Creative Hustler was forced into being comfortable in front of the camera. [09:10] Follow The Creative Hustler on Facebook to find out when we go live. [09:28] In the digital world, the video is accepted, but business owners are more hesitant to do video. [10:25] Shoutout to Auguste Crenshaw, Analysis Paralysis with video. [10:48] If you have a lifestyle type of brand, get out there and go live! [11:15] Incorporate your life into your live videos. [12:00] Video is where it is at - how do you utilize analytics on videos? [12:45] YouTube is saturated with a bunch of people trying to sell something. [13:00] Melissa uses YouTube for the wings on her eyes. [13:55] No matter what your #CreativeHustle is, you should be giving people a peek into your life. [14:30] Patrick was a digital nomad. [14:55] Bailey Richert and Patrick Siles both hit countries equal to their ages. [15:35] Working with your spouse is awesome and challenging. [16:00] Working with your spouse challenging your patience and communication, and sometimes you need space. [16:40] Normally, Steven has a pot of coffee before 7:30 am. [17:17] Sometimes it takes you awhile to understand how your spouse works. [17:55] Sometimes you need to talk it out, and other times you need to focus. [18:22] Patrick's wife was working on captions for a Spanish Soap Opera, and Patrick needed help with admin stuff. [19:00] It's challenging to work with your spouse because you spend so much time with them. [19:40] Patrick, do you speak Spanish? [20:00] Struggle for #CreativeHustlers, all our good friends live far away. [20:44] We're all just a URL link away from a video conference. [21:11] We could talk to Joseph Kennedy or John Bertino at any point. [21:40] Lina Sanden is making an album with musicians from around the world. [21:55] We're able to create without borders. [22:15] vid-alytics work with embed codes on your website only. [23:15] Always put the videos on your website, because from SEO perspective you might rank. [24:00] YouTube can get clients taken away from your brand. [24:20] Always make sure you have an embed code that people can share on their website, with a link back to your site. [25:00] I wonder if vid-alytics would get stats on videos installed on multiple pages. [26:00] Hypothetically it should read analytics from multiple different websites. [26:26] The most important video is that your page speed is fast enough because 2 minutes of delay can mean millions of dollars lost. [27:30] Our podcast is hosted on LibSyn which then imports to our website so you don't have to host the content on your website. This is important. [28:25] WP Engine is where we moved our website to have more space. [28:47] If you want to know about Alan's plug in, tweet us, Facebook us, or email us! [29:35] The Creative Hustler is about to embark on their journey! [29:50] vid-alytics have free packages to start off with, light and pro! [30:25] The Creative Hustler is inviting their listeners to follow along with their 4-month journey to different countries! All the little details will be shared so you can do it too! [31:23] Many guests on The Creative Hustlers have lived the digital nomad life, and you can too! [31:55] Check out the show notes for all the videos and links!

For years Bailey Richert was caught up in the 'rat race' as she followed what she was taught was the 'right path' in life. A high school valedictorian and magna cum laude engineering university graduate, Bailey took a job for many years working the 9-to-5 consulting grind in California. To most, it must have seemed like she 'had it all', but she wasn't anywhere near being fulfilled. The cubicle life would never allow her to achieve the dreams, goals and ambitions she had. So she decided to make a change. In 2013, Bailey left her corporate career, studied entrepreneurship at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and launched her own online, location independent business with the goal of earning her own income from anywhere in the world. Today, she helps others realize that it is possible to achieve the life you truly desire if you put in the effort to create the financial means to support that life. Her business model of choice? "Infopreneurship". Through her books, blog, courses, coaching programs and events, Bailey helps individuals launch profitable online enterprises as “infopreneurs”: respected experts in their fields creating value and generating income by sharing their life experience, knowledge and passions with others in a manner that supports their ideal lifestyles. What is stage 0 to hosting a mini workshop / mini summit and building my list? What is the behind the scenes prep work before you even start the workshop? 12 step process (3 phases): each phase takes a month for big summits Planning logistics (sit down before you take action): how many days, what are the dates, what is the theme, name of the event (don’t bring in speakers before you know what the theme is) How would you put the fears of failure to rest? And how do you attract the right speakers? A lot of people might say no, but it doesn’t mean that you or your event are not worth it (people might be busy and wouldn’t have time to be a real partner, or there might be personal things going on, or they might say no because they don’t know you yet, etc.) If they say no, maybe ask if you can interview them for your podcast, start building a relationship How to actually reach out to them: Never over social media (connecting is ok though, but not invite), email them. Include personal connection to show that you genuinely care about them and their projects (“I followed your blog and this article resonated with me”, etc.). As a host, you should welcome genuine feedback from the speakers you invite. What Michelle has been going thru (with hosting her first summit) Wanted to film in person with all entrepreneurs in one place (constantly changing dates) - Didn’t feel like it would work out. Melodrama. Thoughts of failure. - Reinvent yourself: Film in different segments when speakers have time, edit it together like a movie. And that worked! - Be authentic to yourself - Go with the flow and don’t get stuck on what you think something has to look like or be done like What are some good tips in terms of you staying healthy, s

017: Creating Online Courses That Generate Revenue For Years To Come With Bailey Richert In this episode, we chat with Bailey Richert from BaileyRichert.com Bailey is a business coach for Beginning and Budding Infopreneurs Bailey didn't start out as an online business guru. Like many others, she was caught up in the 'rat race' as I tried to follow what I thought was the 'right' path in life. She was high school valedictorian, graduated magna cum laude with multiple engineering degrees from university, and took a job for many years working the 9-to-5 consulting grind in California. "To most, it must have seemed like I 'had it all', but I wasn't anywhere near being fulfilled. I had dreams, goals, and ambitions that the cubicle life would never allow me to achieve.

She left her corporate career, studied entrepreneurship at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and launched my own online, location independent business with the goal of earning my own income from anywhere in the world.

Breaking free of the traditional 9-5 J.O.B can be a challenge for many aspiring entrepreneurs, and no one knows the challenging rollercoaster ride of ups and downs better than former Environmental Engineer turned Infopreneur expert and coach, Bailey Richert. Bailey initially went to college to obtain her degree in environmental engineering, but quickly discovered that, although it appeared to be a “cushy” job with good benefits and a nice paycheck – it didn’t allow her the creativity she desired. So, she quit her corporate job as an Environmental Consultant and went back to school at MIT to study entrepreneurship. In This Episode We Discuss: What is an infopreneur? How Bailey pivoted her business from working in the corporate world to becoming an infopreneur, then pivoting again to becoming an infopreneur coach and expert. Why she enjoys working with aspiring infopreneurs. Why she believes there must be a point when you stop absorbing and following other people’s content, and begin creating your own. How she prepared for full-time entrepreneurship after she left her corporate job. What fuels her passion to continue growing her business and helping other entrepreneurs. How she became a speaker at TEDx Show notes:
Virtual conferences have been around for years. They provide the education of a live event, without the expense of travel, hotel, and other "real world" costs that live events bring. That's the benefit to attendees. Entrepreneurs can use virtual conferences as a way to build or expand an audience, while also developing a membership product.... Listen to episode

If you want to know how to become an "infopreneur," Bailey Richert is an excellent person to teach you. In fact, that is what infopreneurs do—they package their knowledge around a specific subject and sell it to others in a variety of ways. Bailey joined me on this week's Go For Launch podcast. She is a business coach who helps individuals launch profitable online enterprises as infopreneurs—or respected experts in their fields who create value and profit by sharing their passions with others in a manner that supports their ideal lifestyles. After working the 9-5 grind as a consultant in California until 2014, she quit my job and enrolled at MIT to study entrepreneurship. She then launched a successful online travel education company, DontDieAbroad.com, and has expanded into teaching "infopreneurship" to other people (e.g., how to create and sell digital informational products online). Her new book, , is available on Amazon, and she offers a free video training course that outlines her 6-step process to launching an infopreneur business. Topics we discuss include: • Why you should give away 90% of your content for free • How to grow your email list then keep it warm by communicating regularly (at least once a week) • How to build your community (and gain their trust) • What are the best information products to create (based on your desires and skills) • Where the real money is for infopreneurs • What the “job” of the successful infopreneur entails (and why it’s valuable) • Why infopreneurship provides great flexibility for entrepreneurs • How Bailey gets a lot done as a solopreneur • Her “can’t live without” tool () • The first infopreneur who really inspired Bailey (Natalie Sisson of ) • Her revenue streams that include speaking, online course and coaching
