Podcast appearances and mentions of colin theriot

In this episode of the Veterinary Marketing Podcast, I'm excited to share insights from a conversation I had with Colin Theriot, a renowned copywriting expert and founder of the "Cult of Copy" Facebook group. We dove into the transformative power of effective copywriting for veterinary practices and explored strategies to attract, engage, and retain clients. If you're ready to take your marketing to the next level, this episode is packed with actionable advice you won't want to miss. We started by addressing the challenges many veterinary practices face, particularly in competing with larger corporate entities. Colin introduced his DUST framework: Differentiate, Unique, Special, and Tribal - as a powerful way to stand out. From identifying what competitors are doing poorly to fostering community and loyalty, these strategies are key to building strong client relationships. One of the most impactful points was the need to understand client motivations and create offers that truly resonate. Consistent engagement through email marketing and social media ensures your practice stays top-of-mind. Colin shared how planning content with a calendar and inviting interaction in every message can maximize email marketing's potential. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to boost their veterinary marketing efforts and build long-term client connections!

Brian comments on Colin Theriot of Cult of Copy’s, thoughts about content and pre-selling. Transcription Is content real? Hi, I’m Brian Pombo. Welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live. I want to discuss a little post that I saw online that I just had to sink my teeth into, because it was so interesting. And […] The post Is Content Real?

Colin “cut his teeth” in the marketing world back in the “OG” days with the work he did for Andy Jenkins and Stompernet Colin Theriot has always had a fascination for cults and magic tricks. So really it was no surprise when he started the FB group called “Cult of Copy” when he entered the marketing world. Through this group, he aims to consult and mentor people who want to use persuasion and influence to increase their business success while increasing their freedom as well. 

In this episode Mark Edwards has a chat with Jon Buchan. They talk about the importance of humour in your business, using FaceBook for B2B advertising and how to write your content in the correct tone of voice for your audience.Links for podcast:l CHARM OFFENSIVE LINK - https://www.charm-offensive.co.uk/ l CHARM OFFENSIVE FACEBOOK LINK - https://www.facebook.com/groups/charmoffensivegroup l Colin Theriot- https://cultofcopy.com/

Top tips for copywriting from Colin, who has copywriters as an audience 2. How to run a facebook group as a business 3. How to manage a mastermind 4. How to learn copywriting on the fast lane 5. How to grow your group on Facebook 6. How to hire copywriters I’m interviewing Colin Theriot, and he’s actually a retired copy writer, who used to do seven or eight figure launches for different clients. Now he runs the biggest mastermind for copy writers on Facebook, that I’m aware of, and it’s his fulltime business. It’s probably one of the most active Facebook communities, which I’m aware of. It’s got him to the point where he teaches people how to start their own communities, and he teaches people how to write copy. This year, he is expected to make two hundred and fifty thousand to three hundred thousand dollars from his Facebook group, which has fourteen thousand members. Colin’s biggest tips for copy writers starting out, is to avoid mistakes, to keep in mind the mode people are in when they consume content on the internet. They are usually by themselves, on their own personal computer, or device. The mind-set he finds that it puts people in, is a one to one communication channel, because it’s them and their computer, and usually they’re just by themselves, and focused on it. Unlike a billboard, or a television show that they might be watching with the family. When he’s creating something for online, he keeps it in mind when creating a sales letter. In his view, it should be written as though it’s coming from one person, and it’s written for one other person. He uses the same approach with his email list: he doesn’t open with ‘hey guys.’ It should be written as though it’s to that one person reading it. Another tip of Colin’s, is that a lot of people tend to get caught up, in copy writing being artistic or creative, in the way that writing a novel might be. It’s less about that, but about using a structure, and a format that you know has been successful elsewhere, and then you try to replicate that, with whatever it is that you’re selling.

Copywriter Colin Theriot joins Rob and Kira for the 104th episode of The Copywriter Club Podcast. Colin is well known as the leader of the Cult of Copy (as well as four or five other related Facebook groups). He often jumps into the club to answer questions or comment on something, and we thought it was about time to talk shop with him. In our discussion, we covered: •  how Colin became a copywriter •  why he started The Cult of Copy •  the short cut to getting people to know who you are •  how beginning copywriters can create a copy learning experience •  the most important thing for beginners to learn (this skill is portable) •  his philosophy for running more than one Facebook group •  why he offers a “jobs” group and why you probably shouldn’t use it •  the five Vs of the Viking Velociraptor Formula

Today I get to practice what I preach. On today's episode Russell talks about starting to use Snapchat and how you can follow him to get some behind the scenes of the behind the scenes stuff going on with Clickfunnels. He also talks about his Funnel Swag website and how you can get a new, cool, limited edition t-shirt every month. Here are some other cool things in this episode: How Russell is doing with Snapchat so far on his first day, and how you can be a part of it. How you can get a hold of some cool Funnel Swag like backpacks, t-shirts, and a water bottle. Find out why Russell's wife, Collette, thought he drowned over the weekend. And hear about the sweet gifts Russell got for Father's Day. So listen below to hear about Snapchat, Funnel Swag and some of the fun stuff that goes on at Russell's home. ---Transcript--- Hey everybody, this is Russell Brunson and welcome to Marketing In Your Car. Hey guys and gals and friends and a bunch of people I care about. Today's been fun; I started my first day of my Snapchat journey. So I don't know if I'm doing it right or wrong, or if I'm annoying. I don't know but it's been fun. So for those that aren't Snapchatters yet, time to download the Snapchat app and search my name, it's Russell Brunson. I think you can find me that way, I believe. I don't know, I'm still figuring that part out. I would recommend doing it, because I'm showing behind the scenes. Everyone's asking me what I do all day long, “What's your morning routine?” So I'm showing it in quick little 10 second chunks. I think that's how you do it right. Basically the concept is throughout the day I go and as I'm doing cool things, I show the cool things I'm doing. So this morning I woke up, I was in the supplement closet, it showed me taking supplements, which ones. Then I had a morning coaching session with Tara and then I was working my Trello board, so I showed that. Then I went on a run and I showed that. I was about to start this Marketing In Your Car podcast and I showed that. So I'm showing all these little pieces of it, so I think for you guys it's like once a day, if you log in, you'll see behind the scenes of behind the scenes. So as you probably, I've been talking about lately, one of the big things, we're trying to do and I think what you guys should all be doing, but what we should all be trying to do is try to get our community more engaged in the process. So we're doing a lot of hangouts and live streams, showing behind the scenes of what's happening, which has been fun, but then Snapchat for me is kind of behind the scenes of the behind the scenes in quick little ten second snips. So you can basically catch up on a full day in like 2 minutes.  Anyway, it's going to be fun, I'm going to be posting some unique, cool, crazy, funny things and introducing you to some people that I won't be doing anywhere else. So if you're not on Snapchat yet, now is the time to go and to become part of that. Today I'm excited because I've been in Inner Circle all last week, and it's kind of one of those things when you have these projects and things you wanna do and everything's bottling up and you just want to move and go and do. So finally I have a chance today to move and go and do. I'm excited. We are, this week launching Biohacking Secrets with Anthony which will be cool. But then the other thing, on our side, we have a whole bunch of new updates coming, with just our company. One of the cool things we're going to be doing that I'm excited for is, and depending on when you hear this, it'll be live or almost live, we're changing the Clickfunnels Facebook Group. People don't like really bonding with the company, it's kind of bland, so we want to make it more of a movement. So we're going to change the name of it to Funnel Hackers/Clickfunnels official group or something like that. So that way we can all self –identify with the group and who we are, and not just the software product, which is kind of cool. And then what's going to happen is when you first login, and the first time I really saw this I thought it was cool. There's a Facebook group called the Cult of Copy, it's a really good copywriting group with really good copywriters hanging out and talking all the time and when you go in that group, Colin, who runs the group, Colin Theriot, I think I can never say his last name right….but he's got a sticky when you first go in there that's like, “Hey welcome to the Cult of Copy, here's all the rules, here's how it works, here's the lingo, here's the core products you need to buy.” Just a list of all the core things when you first join the group. So that's one of my goals this week, is to build out, maybe even today if I have time. Kind of like, “Here's the mission statement of our group, here's the core products and services you need to be able to run your business.” And the cool thing we set up, and it's not live as of right now, but hopefully by the time you hear this, it'll be live. If you go to funnelswag.com we have an official Funnel Hackers Kit where you get a Clickfunnels backpack, you get the Funnel Graffiti, you get the I Build Funnels t-shirt, Clickfunnels water bottle. Everything you need to be an official funnel hacker. So basically, I think it's $100, it basically covers our hard costs and shipping, we're not making any money on this, we just want to get everyone a Biohacking, not Biohacking, a Funnel Hacking Kit. So we'll mail this kit to you, and then from there you get put on a $20 a month continuity program. The $20 a month goes towards a new t-shirt each month. So what's happening, each month we're making super cool t-shirts. In fact, if you go to funnelswag.com you can see 5 or 6 of the shirts there. And basically, we're going to be doing limited edition shirts. So each month, whoever's a member of that, we will see who's bill went through that month and we will ship you out that month's shirt. And they're going to be one off printing. So that means if you get it, you get it. If you don't get it, you miss that shirt forever. So there's some urgency and scarcity built in, because I believe the only that sells anything in this world, besides good copy, and building a good following and personality, there's a lot of good things. But the number one thing to actually get people to pull their credit card out are urgency and scarcity, so we kind of want to do that. Again, I make zero dollars, in fact, I lose money, I think I lose money on almost all of these because we have so many international people. But I just want to do it so that you guys all have cool funnel swag from us every single month. We also might be slipping in some other cool gifts along the way with the t-shirts. I'm not going announce those, they're unadvertised bonuses, but cool things you guys will want as a Clickfunnels member. So that's kind of what Funnel Swag is all about, is getting you guys all consuming our stuff, wearing our shirts, using our backpacks, water bottles, Mac stickers, oops, did I slip that? We're working on Mac stickers and a bunch of other cool things for you guys that'll be part of the Funnel Swag Monthly Kit. For sure, each month you'll get a t-shirt that will be limited edition and just super cool. Anyway, these are just a few of the things we're doing, and I hope that it serves as a model for you guys as you're building up your community and your following and your cult…ture. That was one of the big things through all of the Inner Circle meetings, was that, as I kind of mentioned through some of these podcasts. So I'm going to start implementing and applying these things and you guys will be able to see them and hopefully you'll run with them as well. I think I mentioned this before, I see my mission as building cool, creative things and you guys taking them and knocking them off for your community. So feel free to R and D, rip off and deploy these concepts in your market as well, for your people because I think they're kind of cool. So that's what's happening today. I'm really, really, really excited as you can probably tell, to get to work and to do all these kinds of things. Another cool update, we got last week the float tank in my Biohacking room, so Saturday I wasn't supposed to float for 3 or 4 days, you're supposed to let the salt do whatever, but I got excited so the second day I jumped in and floated, is that the right word? Flooted? Floated? So I floated and it was cool, I laid there for 20 minutes and I passed out and woke up 3 hours later. It was almost 1 in the morning and I was getting out and Collette came out like, “I thought you were dead, I was afraid that you had drowned out here.” I was like, “I don't think it's possible to drown because there's a thousand pounds of salt in there to make you float to the top, so I don't think I could drown if I wanted to.” But I appreciated the thought so, that was cool. And then yesterday was Father's Day, which was super cool. I don't know, my kids are the coolest, just seeing them. One of my boys, he drew a big picture of a minion and said, “Dad, you're one in a minion.” It was so awesome. And then my other son drew a big picture of Yoda and it said, “Dad, Yoda best dad ever!” It was so sweet. I thought that was the two coolest things in the world.  Anyway, it was a good day. With that said, I am almost to the office. I'm going to get to work. I'm building up our community and I hope this gives you guys a couple ideas on things you can do as well. Appreciate you all, have an amazing day and I'll talk to you guys again soon.

Welcome to the Online Marketing News, it's the 2nd of March of and here is my round of digital marketing news that has caught my eye during the month of February. 1. I got a very promising email the other day from Infusionsoft saying they are soon to release an app so we can use InfusionSoft on mobile, which is obviously excellent news for InfusionSoft users. I believe it will be free for current users and available on both IOS and Android. 2. OP2 released their copy and paste a row feature. This was previously enabled within the same page but now you can take a row from one OptimzePress page and put it into another. A handy time saver and more definitely brownie points earned, they are getting into a lot of peoples good books again! 3. Leadpages as always have been innovating. In my opinion their most exciting update is automatic pre-population, so when someone lands on your page and decides to opt-in, this new feature will automatically have the opt-in form filled out with their details! Making the opt-in process even more frictionless. They also recently added the ability to split test & add images to leadboxes. 4. The big news over at Facebook last month was of course Facebooks $19 billion dollar acquisition of What's App. This was worldwide news so I'm sure you already saw this. Early rumours that the monetization strategy for What's App would be advertising like they did with Instagram were quickly downplayed however, Mark Zuckerberg himself announcing that their initial focus would be on growth rather than monetization. When the time comes for monetization it may or may not present a new opportunity for us online marketing folk, we'll have to wait and see on that one. 5. In other Facebook news, Facebook have announced that they are discontinuing sponsored stories. These are the ads that page owners can use to show a users that one of their connections has liked their page or checked-in, in the hope that they might do the same. As of April 9th however, this kind of ad will be gone. 6. Facebook ads have a new update coming on the 4th of March will be to add another level within their ad structure. They used to have 2 levels which was campaigns and ads but this made for a quite messy and unorganized way to keep track of your ads. The new level they are adding inbetween campaigns and ads is, ad groups. This means you can group certain types of ads together within your campaigns and will make it much more organized. Welcome news for FB advertisers. 7. Facebook will also be rolling out new targeting features available thanks to their 3rd party partner categories, this data will now be available in the regular FB ad platform giving better location,interest, behavior and demographic targeting. 8. In more excellent FB ads news, Facebook announced they will be adding job titles to their ads targeting. LinkedIn ads have given this option for years and now Facebook wants a piece of it too, I can't wait for that to happen. 9. Finally on Facebook, Facebook page tagging just got a little more interesting too. When you tag another page in a status update from your fan page, their fans may see your update in their newsfeed meaning you can tap into almost any other fan pages audience by using tagging. I think this could be easy to abuse but done correctly it could help you grow your fan page audience for free. 10. LinkedIn has opened up their publishing platform, where you can publish long-form content to the site. This used to be a feature only available to top influencers like Richard Branson, Bill Gates, Tony Robbins, Gary Vaynerchuk and other high level people but now all users will be able to use this tool. 11. LinkedIn has also recently added a block feature just like Facebook has. It means you and the other person will no longer be able to see each others accounts on the site. So don't go spamming people or using any weird black hat marketing tactics, you'll simply be blocked! 12. Google has added usage rights to it's image search tools. This has been around a while but wasn't included as an option in it's main menu. You still need to be careful when using it though, it's not 100% accurate. So you could use an image thinking you have permission when you do not. My advice is where possible create your own images or purchase stock images. 13. Twitter advertising took another big step forward by introducing the ability to target ads based on email addresses and user ID's. This is similar to custom audiences on Facebook and it means you can retarget your email list through Twitter or even have the ability to avoid those users, depending on your marketing goals. Great option to have. Twitter ads continue to rise in my estimations. 14. Adroll has just beta launched mobile retargeting for cross device campaigns. Meaning desktops users can now also be followed up on the mobiles and tablets too. For example someone who enters your website on their desktop, may then see your retargeting ads whilst using FB or Twitter using their mobile phone. 15. A few big upcoming events that have caught my eye... On the 11th of March, Marketing Land's Digital Marketing Summit will be held in San Jose, California. Top speakers include Googles Search Chief, Amit Singhal, Copybloggers Brian Clark and Rand Fishkin of Moz. Also on the 11th -13th of March, The Joint Venture Summit is being held in Atlanta, Georgia.

A few new podcasts that I'm excited about have been announced Jon Benson the king of VSL's has just recently started his podcast called The Sales Copy Samurai. Colin Theriot of the cult of copy has also he will be starting a new podcast sharing his copywriting wisdom so keep an eye out for that one, and last but not least Clay Collins and the team over at LeadPages announced that their new podcast called conversion cast will start soon and they will be diving deep into split testing and what's working now in online marketing. You won't want to miss that either. Both Colin and Clay have been on previous episodes of the online marketing show are always good value. Jon is set to come on the show in a few weeks time too so stay tuned for that. 17. Tim Castleman has released his Traffic and Conversion Summit 2014 notes. I attended this event and it was brilliant. His notes have all the golden nuggets from the presentations for just a fraction of the cost of going to the event. Grab a copy, it's well worth it. 18. Todd Brown is launching his latest product this week, it's called Six Figure Funnel Formula. Todd has been on the podcast before and he is my recommended go to guy when it comes to marketing funnels. His last flagship program has been locked down for quite some time so you'll want to jump on this if you want to learn how to convert leads into paying customers. There will be a lot of buzz over the next week or so and Todd will be releasing a ton of free premium content during the launch. Again if you're listening to this on the podcast, head over to my blog you can get the link for Todd's free videos there. And that's the online marketing news, 2nd of March 2014.
