What if science could prove that marketers are doing EVERYTHING wrong? Patrick Renvoisé is a brain scientist who has co-authored two books claiming that is exactly the case. At SalesBrain, the consultancy where he is Chief Persuasion Officer, Patrick has helped over 100,000 CEOs identify and target the secret Buy Button inside their customer's brain. The co-author of "Neuromarketing" and "The Persuasion Code," Patrick shares his simple, proven scientific methodology to create desire and entice people to buy your product. Using sophisticated physiological measurements, measuring brainwaves and tracking eye movements, Patrick's team discovered that what people say does not reflect what they truly want. Patrick has identified that decision-making is governed not by the rational neocortex (known as System Two), but by the ancient primal brain, or System One. The primal brain only recognizes six stimuli—which Patrick tells you how to trigger using four specific steps.If you're a product marketer and want to start leveraging brain science to sell MUCH more, you don't want to miss this episode.Graphos Product: https://www.graphosproduct.comRead the episode transcript, our blog and learn about our unique product marketing servicesSalesBrain:https://www.salesbrain.comBuy "Neuromarketing: Understanding the Buy Buttons in Your Customer's Brain" at AmazonBuy "The Persuasion Code" at Amazon
Etsy is no longer just the marketplace of handmade crafts! Yes, you can sell digital products like printables and even drop ship physical goods without ever touching your inventory. We haven’t really discussed Etsy in detail for a while. But I thought it was time to take a closer look at this platform again, as it’s seen tremendous growth in recent years. Opening the doors for you to create your own passive products -- both through digital downloads and drop shipping physical products. In fact, since 2015, the number of Etsy buyers has more than doubled -- far outpacing the growth of Etsy sellers. So, if you are currently selling online or have an idea in the pipeline, you’d be crazy to ignore the potential Etsy holds as a "Buy Buttons" platform. Melissa MacDonald is a long-time Etsy seller who now focuses her efforts on Etsy marketing and optimization for other shop owners. Tune in to hear Melissa’s process for coming up with new passive income product ideas, her favorite tools for running a hands-off Etsy shop, and how to optimize your listings for conversion and sales.

Dr. Linda Sharkey and Morag Barrett, co-authors of The Future-Proof Workplace, share their views on how the industrial revolution left us with the broken and toxic workplaces we see today. Virtual enterprises and aspirational millennials do not thrive under command-and-control leadership. Linda and Morag talk about how a culture of curiosity, learning, diversity, growth, and purpose can future-proof the workplace to lend purpose and power to individuals and teams. Key Takeaways [5:40] Linda explains that the rules of industry were designed for an era with different values and beliefs, such as the belief that people need to be controlled and managed to achieve their goals. The manual manufacturing environment is replaced by automation. ‘Command and control’ is still seen in the office. Linda would rather see ideas put in place to help people be the best they can be, and contribute fully. [9:59] Linda comments on command and control. She considers the pressure to produce and sell, which has been present since the Great Recession, causes leaders to revert to the default style of command and control to meet high-pressure deadlines. [16:09] Linda says more books are written on leadership than any other topic. Leadership has been an issue for thousands of years. The style of leadership that is engaging, focused on development and on the individuals you are leading, with heart, has always been successful. People have tolerated command and control, but changed conditions and technology have made it unsustainable for this century. [17:41] Linda considers how current massive changes may cause us to step back and ask how can we really get to that place we’ve all been talking about for the last 50 years, of belonging, of diversity, with a culture that values people, and makes them feel they can participate and innovate, and feel appreciated. Things will never be as they were in the 1960s, so embrace the change and transform along with it. [20:11] Morag studied authors Christophe Morin, Sebastian Junger, and Robin Dunbar for her first book, on the importance of professional relationships. Technology gives us an illusion of connection, but social media friends are not friends to call on in an emergency. The neuroscience of what makes us human — how we work together, is important. Morag cites Daniel Pink on autonomy, mastery, and purpose. [23:02] Linda stresses the importance of purpose. Purpose needs to be the rallying cause. People get much more excited about what they’re doing, when thinking from a purposeful perspective. Deep down, people do want to help other people, and want to make and do things that will make a difference and leave a legacy. [24:56] Connection and empathy are basic principles. Morag suggests pausing to check in, and connect, before you dive into the project. Relationships are critical to success in the 21st century. Linda says technology gives us information very quickly, but the emotional connection, and feeling of a relationship is what makes a difference to people. Google research shows that the best teams care about each other. [34:18] Morag says leaders today need to have these conversations: what culture do we have on this team, what are our rules of engagement, and how are we working together? Start creating a language and framework that effects change, at your level of influence, if you are not in the C-suite. There will be a ripple effect to the rest of the organization. [39:17] Deal humanely with people that don’t produce. But saying that a certain percentage will be cut is toxic. Look at your strategy, and look at your people. Who has the skills now to move the strategy forward, who needs development, and who would work better in another area, or at another company? Keep the workforce vital, to deliver on the strategy. Dump the rules, and grow people with the company. [43:49] Morag shares case studies. They helped someone pivot from the mindset of a treadmill career track to a portfolio career, where the same skills performed a different role, and provided empowerment and fulfillment. Linda and Morag helped a team move past the way it has always been done, to an innovative, influential solution. Linda and Morag helped an organization find hidden talent in-house. [47:18] Linda shares a cultural transformation story of a Canadian division of a global company. With six months of serious effort, they really changed how leadership acted, and how they were interacting with the company. They measured the results with psychometric tools. Over a year, they were able to turn the culture around to become a star division in the company. Use science, not hunches, to make changes.

I’m excited to introduce you to a new Buy Buttons opportunity under the Amazon ecommerce umbrella called Merch by Amazon: it’s a print-on-demand service for t-shirts now (and perhaps other merchandise in the future). My wife and I have already made our first sales on this platform and it's become our latest side hustle obsession. To help me explore this business model, I invited Elaine Heney on the program. She’s an app entrepreneur, a former Amazon FBA seller (a biz she actually sold), and last year she sold over $128,000 worth of t-shirts through Merch by Amazon program, of which $53k was profit. You can follow along with Elaine's Merch adventures at MerchEntrepreneur.com. Note: Click here to download Elaine’s tips and strategies for running a successful merch business. The advantage Amazon has over other print-on-demand sites is their massive daily organic traffic. Elaine doesn’t even need to do any marketing to promote her shirts, and using their interface is as easy as uploading a design, choosing colors, and clicking a button to list your shirts. There are no monthly fees, and no inventory risk. In this episode, Elaine takes you through the steps you need to take to start an account on the Merch by Amazon program. She shares how she finds graphic designers to help with her t-shirt designs, how to use the Merch by Amazon platform, and some of her best tips for creating designs that will sell well.
Nick Loper from Side Hustle Nation dropped by the ballers circle to discuss how he side hustled his way into a successful online business, the uneven road to success and his book Buy Buttons.
I’d like to introduce some of the characters in my latest book Buy Buttons, and also give you a sample of the audiobook version I recorded. I knew I wanted to create an audiobook for this title, because Audible is yet another “Buy Button” marketplace for me to test out, and because I’ve heard audiobooks can actually perform really well for authors. Note: If you’re new to Audible, you can get Buy Buttons and another title of your choosing free! But even for someone who’s been editing audio for the last 3.5 years on this podcast, it was quite a challenge to get the book recorded and approved for sale. In fact, it was rejected by Audible 4 or 5 different times for various reasons. Just reading my own words without messing up and with intonations that made sense was hard enough! That put a little damper on my timeline, as I’d hoped to get it out much closer to the launch date of the Kindle and paperback editions. Still, now that the audiobook is approved, it’s already been selling well with very little promotion. In this episode I share the full introduction to Buy Buttons plus you’ll meet a few of the side hustlers I connected with during the writing process. As you know, most business books follow a familiar format: big picture thesis, supported by case studies and examples. Feeling no need to reinvent the wheel, Buy Buttons follows this formula as well. The big picture thesis is that the fastest way to earn extra money is to go where money is already being spent: the hundreds of peer-to-peer marketplaces. I was able to source several stories from The Side Hustle Show archives and the blog archives to back that thesis up, but still had a bunch of gaps to fill in. For those, I turned to HARO, the Side Hustle Nation Facebook group and email list, and even reaching out to the marketplaces directly to see if they had any successful sellers I could potentially feature.
Nick’s mission is to teach part-time entrepreneurs 1: strategies for building a business 2: and also to highlight opportunities to make extra money in their spare time. He’s also recently released a book called: “Buy Buttons: the fast track strategy to make extra money and start a business in your spare time.” Nick answers the number one question Entrepreneurs ask, as well as the question they SHOULD be asking… We cover time management, thoughts on money, and how to generate ideas. He suggests that the best place to start, is just to start. So many people are waiting for the perfect idea and the perfect plan. Spoiler alert, it does not exist. Just begin. We also discus different side hustles, and how people are making money online these days. Tune in for some of the best from Nick Loper!

I think the promise that I want to put forward is kind of a new way of thinking. Everyone wants to make money online. Everyone wants to have a business. I want us to take a step back and think about where that money comes from. Somebody has to buy whatever it is that you’re selling. The result that I’m after today, and what I’m after in the Buy Buttons book, is that there are a bunch of fast track marketplaces where you can get in front of a pre-existing audience of buyers. That exists in dozens and dozens of different niches, for whatever skills or products that you have to offer. That’s the result that we’re after. We have had people in my book, and that I’ve met through my podcast, that are making anywhere from $100 a month, on the side and that they are happy with it because it’s play money, up to $10,000 a month or more. So, it’s more like, “Why do you want to make that money? What does that afford you? What is that going to buy you? What does that mean in terms of your lifestyle?” Probably the common theme of what we’re all after is to do something that we’re interested in, to do something that excites us, and ultimately, allows us to lead a happier life as a result. Download the Complete PDF Show Notes Free for this Episode That’s kind of what I’m after, and I just get a kick out of running these different experiments and seeing what works and what doesn’t. That’s wonderful. So, it comes down to doing work that you love and trying to figure out to monetize that while making an impact in other people’s lives.

Are you frustrated that buyers don't understand what you do? Are you frustrated that you have a good story to tell and you can't quite get it told; or at least in a manner that people understand?
