A lot of business owners falsely believe the purpose of a customer is to get a sale. When in reality, the purpose of a SALE is to get a CUSTOMER. In other words, your goal isn't to abandon a customer once they've given you money. You want to give that person a reason to come back again and again for your products (instead of your competitors'). Bill Glazer teaches from stage how ANY business can earn repeatable income, and not just through continuity programs! If the idea of reducing ad spend, increasing customer value and/or minimizing the amount of time spent selling to/acquiring new customers sounds appealing, then this episode is meant for you.

When it comes to marketing, it's crucial that your message matches the expectations of your audience. If they're expecting a one-sided sales pitch, and you give them information instead, you'll likely lose their attention. On the other hand, if you give them the information they need without pushing them to buy anything, you may win their business in the long run. So how can you ensure that your message is matched with your audience's expectations? One way is to study your audience and learn what they want. You can also use marketing research to find out what people are looking for online. Once you have a good idea of what your audience wants, you can craft your marketing messages to meet those desires. That's just one aspect of the principle known as "message market match." And the starting point for our conversation with Alyson Lex in today's episode.

A cool little nugget I learned from Dan Kennedy that I think you're going to love! Hit me up on IG! @russellbrunson Text Me! 208-231-3797 Join my newsletter at marketingsecrets.com ClubHouseWithRussell.com Magnetic Marketing ---Transcript--- Hey, what's up, everybody. This is Russell Brunson. Welcome back to the Marketing Secrets Podcast. I'm back in the Napoleon Hill room. Today I want to talk about one of the keys to successfully selling your own information products. All right. I've been hardcore binge-listening on Dan Kennedy because, you know what? Every month, I get a two-hour call with him to ask him any questions I want. Then from those calls, we turn it into the Magnetic Marketing Newsletter, which hopefully you guys are all subscribed. If not, you are crazy and you must hate money, or you just didn't know about it. If you didn't know about it, this is your chance. Go to nobsletter.com and go get subscribed. Anyway, I interview him for two hours and then I take that and I literally, myself, turn these things into an entire newsletter. Each newsletter takes me more than a day, which is eight hours times my daily rate, which is like $80,000. Eight hours times ... yeah. I mean, $80,000, $90,000 worth of my time goes into each issue, and there's two months. If you look at the value of those newsletters, they're insane. First off, make sure you stop everything and go and get those. That way you're getting two days of Russell's time each month to serve you, because I'm literally putting the best things we have in there. Each month there's something super powerful you can take, you can implement, and it should help you a lot. Anyway, there's the pitch, but the reason why I bring that up is because tomorrow is my call. I've got two hours with Dan. One of my hours, I'm talking specifically a lot about entrepreneurs and becoming a prime mover, and the mindset and the shifts and things you have to make to be successful as an entrepreneur, which is exciting. Then number two, I'm talking more about the information marketing business, which is something I kind of knew before I got into Dan Kennedy's world. I was selling information on how to sell potato guns, or how to make potato guns and things like that. When I got into his world, that was a big topic, because most people who ... you guys know the lineage of where this whole game started. Back in the day, it was Dan Kennedy and people. He was one of the first to really ... not the first to do information marketing, selling information products. Obviously, people have been writing books for thousands of years, but the person who first formalized this. What's interesting is, when I got into that world, what I saw was not so much just telling people how to make a potato gun, but they were people who were taking specifically Dan Kennedy principles into other markets, which is why I think it's called information marketing. How do we teach other people how to market their businesses? What he did strategically over the years which was really cool is that he made a whole bunch of little mini-Dan Kennedys in every market. I don't know if he did this knowingly or not knowingly, but it was really powerful and really strategic. He would have all these people come to his events. For example, Bill Glazer owned a menswear store, and then someone else owned an auto parts dealership. Someone else was a dentist and a chiropractor. The first phase he would do with people is he would help them to get their businesses more effectively and more efficiently. If you look at the different rungs of not the value ladder, but strategically where they were customers through ... and I've seen facts and documentation where Dan actually explains this. This isn't just my imagination. It's actually strategically thought through. The first phase was help existing business owners to market their businesses more effectively. That's phase number one. Then phase number two is then teach those people how to become information marketers, teaching these processes to the other ones, right? A good example is Bill Glazer. Bill Glazer owned a men's ... I don't know what it was called. Like Men's Warehouse that I think of, but it wasn't Men's Warehouse. It was that kind of a store, right? Men's clothes and stuff like that. He went through the Dan Kennedy stuff. He then modeled it, built up his own marketing, and blew it up and made a ton of money with it. Then Bill's next step was becoming an information marketer to menswear companies. He created information products and courses and seminars, teaching other people with Men's Warehouse-style businesses how to market their business. That's how Bill made all his money or a lot of his money, and then from there he ended up buying Dan's company and blah, blah, blah. Then that was the pattern. I saw it in the dental niche. Some people that came to the dentist came to Dan's world, became really good dentists, and then they would go in and he'd sell them the next thing, which was how to make info products. Then they were all going to sell info products to that market. It was really, anyway, very strategic, very cool, very exciting. Anyway, I share that because I'm looking at that, and next May or June, or maybe June's issue is going to be very specifically about that, but how do you take these skills that you're learning and how do you turn those into a business, right? How do you start your own information businesses? I was looking through just all the people inside the ClickFunnels community, and we've got thousands of examples. One of them, there's a guy who's an inner circle. He started a hotdog cart, and he made a bunch of money with the hotdog cart, and then he started creating information products teaching people how to do their own hotdog cart, and he killed it as well. It's just really interesting. For those guys who have a traditional business, it's interesting because I always ... I don't say it mean, but I always tease people who have more traditional businesses, like, "Oh, that's so hard," because your traditional business is hard because you can't sell to the masses and the world. You sell to people in your local area. The reality is you can sell your people in your local area, and then you make an information business teaching these principles, these concepts, and you can sell that to all the people in your industry around the world. Chad Woolner, another one of my good friends who's a chiropractor, he did the same thing. He came into my world and we taught him how to grow his ... and not that I taught him, but he looked at the principles, and he figured out ways to use these principles to grow his chiropractic business. Then he built his own frameworks and things like that. He went out there and he went and did it for other businesses. It's really, really cool. Anyway, I digress. The point I was trying to make via this podcast was from something I was listening to inside of one of Dan's courses, which is the fast path to info product creation. One of the principles that was interesting is they said to be successful in your own information marketing business, there's a couple things you have to understand. The number one thing is what is it that you are doing that your competitor is not. If you're a dentist and there's 5,000 other dentists, what are you doing that your competitor is not, okay? It could be like either they cannot or they will not, or it's proprietary to you, so you use your own system, your own framework or whatever. What are you doing that your competitors do not do? Then, your job is to clearly communicate that they can only get that from your business. That's the secret, right? Again, you're the hotdog cart dude, you're the chiropractor, you're the dentist, you're the whatever, and you're having success in your business. For you to be able to turn that into a successful information business, that is the question. It's like, what are you doing that your competitors do not ... and again, cannot, will not, or it's proprietary to you so they're not able to ... and then how do you clearly communicate that? That's the big secret. I had someone in our 2C6. I had a coach call actually last week, and it was fascinating. The call was very similar to that. As I asked him like, "What do you do that's different than everybody else," he struggled. He's like, "Well, I do what everyone else does, I just do it better." I was like, "You've got to figure out something proprietary, that's different, that's unique, that's your own." That's the big secret here, right? That's how you get people to give you money. It's like you're a proprietary thing. Your thing is different, and then being able to clearly communicate that. Right? Like in my world, when everyone first came into the funnel world, we explained our proprietary things. These things are all funnels. People freaked out. It's like, "Oh, but the only way to really do that is by having our ClickFunnel software, then here's the books that teach it." This is our proprietary framework, so that was the big secret. Anyway, super cool, super fascinating. Yeah. Now, I'm throwing this out as a question, because I've been thinking about it this weekend. I'm not sure if I'm going to do it or not, but I would love to hear your guys' feedback if you'd be excited to. I did this because Dan was talking about something he did. He said when he started doing this and training people, he would make co-authored things where someone could take Dan Kennedy's work into the dental space and be co-authored with Dan, and take Dan's principles and be able to share them. Right now, legally, my frameworks and stuff are my frameworks, and people share them. Unfortunately they do, but they're breaking the law, legally. They shouldn't be able just to go and take my doodles, take my things and teach them. A lot of people do, and I don't freak out too much because it's passing on our message and stuff, but would you guys be interested? Just to put this out there, and I'm not committed to doing this yet. This is not like I'm doing this or seeding it. I'm just more curious. If I was to write another book, that specifically would be a book to be able to co-author with you guys. For example, I think the book would be called Marketing Secrets, because that's obviously the brand, the podcast, the name. If I had Marketing Secrets and I wrote 75% of the book, and it was leveraging the core frameworks from all three Dotcom, Expert, Traffic Secrets, the core frameworks inside of those that became Marketing Secrets, and then let you guys co-author with me where you could co-author for your market, your niche or whatever. It could be Marketing Secrets for Dentists, Marketing Secrets for people in Boise, Idaho, Marketing Secrets for the music industry, Marketing Secrets for whatever, right? Would you be interested in that? Because what it would do, it would give you the ability to co-author with me, to leverage off my credibility, number one. Number two, then it would give you the ability to take the frameworks that are inside the books and teach them. You basically have a license to teach those things, you know what I mean? Anyway, just curious, throwing it out there. It'd be kind of a fun idea. We did something that once in the past and it sold really well, but I freaked out and pulled it eventually because I was like, "I don't want 100 people out there co-authoring a book with me," but at the same time, I would love to figure out more ways to get this message, Marketing Secrets and funnels and all these things, into the hands of more markets, where you guys would be able to penetrate different markets than I ever could. Anyway, just throwing it out there. I may be interested and may be willing to do something like that, and just wanted to see if you guys are. If you are, hit me up on Facebook or Instagram, whatever, and just be like, "Yes, Russell. Marketing Secrets co-author, let's go," and maybe we'll do something like that in the future. All right. That said, appreciate you all. Got to get back to work. Been fun hanging out, and that's all I got. Thanks so much, you guys. We'll talk to you soon. Bye, everybody.

Mara Glazer, aka the world's best female direct response copywriter, joins the RADD Podcast this week with host Ductch Mendenhall. Mara and Dutch met while working in the info-marketing industry and have remained friends ever since. These two entrepreneurs share their wisdom and knowledge, years of business experience right here on the RADD Podcast. Mara Glazer's high school English writing teacher told her she didn't have the skills she needed to be successful. (True story.) So then how did she go on to be named “The World's Best Female Direct Response Copywriter” by quite a few very successful marketing experts? Her father, Bill Glazer, known to many as a direct response copywriting legend, and founder of Glazer Kennedy Insider's Circle with Dan Kennedy (GKIC), personally taught her how to write direct response sales copy for 3 years. But, he made her earn it first. She had to work for him for 6 months—for free—before he officially gave her a job. Then she had to figure out how to make money with social media… or she was told she would be out. (AKA – fired!) Well, she did… generating over a million dollars tracked back to social media in under 278 days—before Facebook ads were even a thing. After that is when he started to mentor her in writing direct response sales copy. Her father built Glazer Kennedy Insider's Circle into the largest education company of marketing and moneymaking information for small business owners around the globe, and then sold to a venture capital firm in 2011. That's when Mara went out on her own. Now Mara and her team of direct response copywriters “secretly” write for many of the most successful and top-earning entrepreneurs, marketers, influencers, and products around right now. She's the woman people come to when they want copy and presentations that convert.

In this week's episode, Chris Cownden gets to talk with Everte Farnell, a world-class direct response copywriting expert, praised by internet marketing legends Dan Kennedy, Yanik Silver, Matt Furey, Ben Settle, Matt Bacak and Bill Glazer. We talk about copywriting best practices, what drives human behaviour, and even go over a detailed case study example that will help you understand how copywriters think. I have summarised it for you for ease but if you want to listen to this part, go directly to the...minute.Chris has also gone through and picked out some of golden nuggets from the episode to help you take action today. Check out Everte's bio and tips down below. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~When Everte was in College, he opened a cleaning service with a friend which kickstarted his desire to sell. He then got in the Animal Remediation Business, that means cleaning up after animal mess and restoring the house. In short, to get more clients he would go out and get clients by getting them to complete the contract by signature, until he came across Dan Kennedy's work. He realised that instead of doing 1-2 sales presentations a day he could do up to 500 presentations through copywriting. Following Dan's advice, he brought an extra $100k in profit to his small business just by writing copy that made sense to his clients. From that moment he was hooked! Now, Everte is the the President at 9 World's Publishing, Inc, a world-class direct-response copywriter and a small business advocate with a heart for wanting to serve at the highest level. He has appeared on Geniuses of Copywriting Podcast with Brian Cassingena, The Grafted-in Marketing Podcast with Gary Morris and written books with Dan Kennedy, his mentor. Everte's Case Study Example - (Go to the 25th minute for the full breakdown)If you are selling diet plans, don't market to everyone who is fat. Not everyone who is fat wants to lose weight. If you market to people who are newly divorced, especially men, you'll sell a ton of stuff to them." So if Everte was going to sell weight loss products this is what he would do:1. He's going to look for guys who are over 35 who have been divorced or who's wives have filed for divorce. 2. He's going to find their public records, their driver's licence information and BMI's would be even better. If they were once high school athletes, then they may have met their wives in college and this would have been a contributing factor in them falling in love.3. He'd look for 35-50 year old men, who have been divorced are going through separation and have an income of 120,000+, so have a little disposable income.4. Over 35 year old men's testosterone starts to slowly decline. Most men do not stay in shape and by 35 they're starting to get little patchy and by 40 or 42, some are really heavy or unhealthy.5. These men usually work between 40-50 hours a week, usually have a lot more responsibilities and don't have time to work out. If you are in an unhappy marriage, people tend to eat or drink more and that helps them gain weight. 6. Showing your partner that you are beginning to take care of yourself, get fit, get strong and eat healthier will make you more attractive to your partner which human nature.7. Re-entering the dating scene at this age as a healthier man that takes care of himself will lead to better results, than someone who doesn't take care of themselves. In summary, you have to know your client, you have to know who you're selling to and picture all their needs, desires, problems, past, present and future self. This is the single most important thing to write successful copy. Everte's 7 Actionable Tasks1. Find out their pain points2. Find out what's holding them back3. Understand your client4. Aggravate that pain by digging deeper and finding the root cause (Problem Agitates Solution)5. Understand the product or service you are providing6. Understand the sales process and then just deploy that information in the correct way.7. Offer a solution to that pain (Attention Interest Desire Action)Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/EverteTheCopywriter Website: http://evertefarnell.com/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Talking With Experts Podcast is the podcast for Business Owners, Entrepreneurs, Solopreneurs, Freelancers, CEO's, Coaches and anyone else that wants to become an expert and grow and scale their business.

Event planning can be a daunting task and knowing how to pull off a successful event can be even more difficult. What does someone need to start their own event to showcase their product or service and how do you start an event planning service?  Essential questions are who are you going to target? What is going to be your startup cost? Who is going to run the operations and financials for the event? Lastly, you will need to know the marketing and resources available to get your event promoted.  For many people, event planning is often left to the professionals. It takes a lot of work and can be overwhelming at times. An inexperienced planner will have all kinds of questions about the type of event, what kind of people are we targeting, and what are we going to talk about. Speakers, educators, promoters, sponsors, oh my! This can be exhausting just listing them; however, it isn't an impossible task for you. With the right planning and research, you can pull this off yourself and showcase your successful product or service.  Target The Right Market Why is targeting so important? The target is important because it allows you to hone in on what might be the most prolific. You wouldn't invite techies to an event with no tech equipment. Decide whether or not it's going to be a corporate or social event. Knowing the type of event will keep people who might be interested in your product or service engaged and interested. Know Your Startup Cost Knowing your startup cost is important because it gives you some insight into how successful your event was and prepares you for some unexpected situations. Some things to consider are the venue rent, the equipment you will need, inventory of your product, licenses or taxes, communication, advertising and promotion, attorneys, and insurance.  Operations Research is the best way to mitigate risk. It is important to do your homework. Consider the time you have to plan and know that the bigger the event, the more time you will need to plan. About SherrieAs a strategic event planner with 15-years of experience, I help clients realize their potential for success and create live events to grow their brand while bringing profit to their business that continues long after the event. In this time of great need, I realized I had an obligation to help as many businesses use this time wisely to strategize and plan an experience their industry will seek out first and attend. The starting point of my event planning career began with Bill Glazer and Glazer-Kennedy Insider's Circle™, as Bill's Executive Assistant, where I quickly took on the additional role of Event Manager and Planner. With the blessing of working side by side with Bill and listening to the top Marketing Experts on stage for over 7 years, I learned a lot of marketing tips, strategies, business planning and so much more. Through determination and hard work, I learned quickly what it took to run smooth, successful and profitable events to get where I am today as the owner SLS Event Planning and Consulting where I have helped over 50+ clients since 2012 create prosperous and effective live events that help grow their own businesses while building their brand.Sherrie SokolowskiSLS Event Planning and Consulting1144 Meachem DriveClarksville, TN 37042Phone and Text: 410-294-5404Skype: sherrie.sokolowski-slseventsFax: 717-641-0333www.slseventplanning.com Like us on Facebook Please Subscribe to My YouTube Channel ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
