Welcome back to wherever you're hanging out with me at. We've got Instagram. We've got Facebook going right now. And I am home during week number two of our quarantine. And I'm guessing a lot of you guys are as well. And so while we're sitting here, trying to figure out what to do, I figured this is a good time to start talking more about traffic. So hopefully, you guys are all excited and pumped for that. Anyway, excited to be here with you guys today. And it's interesting, as we were talking this morning as a team, and we started talking about all the fears. There are obviously a lot of fears, right now, happening in society and the economy and things like that. It's like, "Well, how do we protect ourselves? How do we create a life preserver around our company? What does it look like? What does that need to be?" And honestly, the biggest, most important life preserver you can create for your company is getting customers. That is your life preserver, especially in times right now, where so many companies aren't able to get customers. That's why the economy's failing, why businesses are failing is because they can't get customers. And so I figured, from now until the next, I don't know, two or three weeks, two or three months, I'm going to be talking about this like crazy with you guys. How do we get customers? How do we get customers? Because it's the thing that we all need right now. It's the safety net we need to protect ourselves and to protect our businesses. And so that's kind of the game plan. So with that said, you guys excited if we go jump back into Traffic Secrets book some more? First off, thank you so much for all you guys. Obviously, we launched this Traffic Secrets book in the middle of chaos, and the books are selling like crazy. And so I want to thank you guys so much for doing that. That's exciting. Tom Greece said, "We are pregnant, and the next generation funnel hackers are on the way." Congratulations, Tom. We got funnel hacking babies coming. I love it. Oh, I heard the prediction is that after this whole everyone's quarantine come down, there's going to be a whole bunch of babies popping up nine months later. And the hospitals are going to be overwhelmed with that. So good thing they're preparing now, I guess. Anyway, so I want to jump into this next section here of Traffic Secrets with you guys. So if you have been, obviously, the books don't ship until May 5th, but tons of you guys have been, told me you got the audio book, which is awesome. If you've been listening to all of the things, today we're going to be jumping into secret number three, which is by far the most, probably one of, if not the most, important secrets in the entire book, which I'm excited for you guys to get into. So things we've covered so far. Secret number one, we talked about who is your dream customer and really getting a deep understanding of them. Are they moving towards pleasure or away from pain? Are they a searcher? Are they a scroller? Getting deep into their mindsets so we understand them because if we understand who they are, then we can understand secret number two, which is where are they actually hiding. Where are they congregating online? Where is the existing streams of traffic happening? So we can go, we can find those people, and we can tap into them. So that's number two. So now secret number three is what we call, are you guys ready for this? Hook, story, offer, and the attractive character. Now, man, if you guys have been following me at all for the last two years, not quite, a year and a half or so, about a year and half ago-ish is when I first came up with the new framework, hook, story, offer. And I started freaking out. I was like, "Ah." And I remember it was one of those things, where I was doing a training for my two comma club X members, and it just kind of came out. I was teaching something, and I was like, "if you notice, every single page in the funnel has hook, story, offer. The ad does. The emails do. The landing page, the sales page, upsells, every single page has hook, story, offer. And as we got deeper and deeper into it, I realized that if anything in the funnel isn't working, it's always because of either the hook, the story, or the offer. And then I started freaking out. I remember the next morning I came in, it was like six in the morning. I was lifting weights with James P. Friel and Dave Woodward. And I was like, "You guys, guess what? I just figured out this thing." And they're like, "What is it?" I'm like, "It's called hook, story, offer." And they're like, "That sounds weird." And we spent the entire hour, we didn't lift a single weight that day. We just talked about hook, story, offer. And they were freaking out. I was freaking out. I'm looking at every funnel we've ever done. Like, what was the thing that made them work and not work? And it was crazy that every single time it always had to come down, and it was always either the hook, the story, or the offer. And so I want to give you guys, as you guys know, when I wrote the new Traffic Seekers book, at the same time I went and I rewrote the DotCom secrets book. I rewrote the Expert Secrets book. And then I wrote this book as well. I wrote this one first, and then rewrote those other two. And because hook, story, offer, it's crazy because it's such a fundamental important concept. But because I didn't come up with that framework until after these first two books were published, these two books were missing it. And so part of the big rewrites in these include the hook, story, offer. So in DotCom Secrets book, I go deep in hook, story, offer. Expert Secrets, I go back into it as well. In DotCom Secrets, we talk a lot about funnel audibles and testing your funnel and funnels not working. And there's a whole new section in the back here about that. And what's cool about it is it's all based back on hook, story, offer. Anyway, and so in the new book, Traffic Secrets, I talk a lot about this as well because it's such a big part. In fact, traffic, one of the most important things I've tracked is being good at throwing out hooks. A hook is like, how do you grab someone's attention? Most of our customers all day are on their phone scrolling, and they're scrolling, and they're scrolling. A hook is the thing that gets them to stop scrolling. So the hook could be the picture of you. Notice I didn't just do this on a white wall. I'm like, "Hey, I need a picture back here." And I totally forgot. I usually have something different back here, but there's the default Apple TV backdrop. I've got my books here. And then, notice I'm doing things like this. I'm trying to hook your attention. So if you're scrolling through Facebook or Instagram, all of a sudden you see this. Like, "Why is Russell so excited? Ah." And that hooks you. So hook could be the headline. It could be the image. It could be the picture. It could be a backer. It's everything you have in your tool chest to grab someone's attention. There's hook. Okay. The second part of hook, story, offer is story, which in the Expert Secrets book is the deep dive on story, storytelling, story process, how it works, how it doesn't work. And so I talk about story a lot here, but Traffic Secrets is primarily finding the people and getting hooks to grab their attention. Expert secrets is like how you tell the story to build a perceived value of what you're going to sell. And then actually, in Dotcom secrets, we go deeper into offer. So you got hook, story, offer. They kind of weave backwards in the books, but I touch upon them deep in each book. But so, Traffic Seekers book, in section number three, or secret number three, is all about hook, story, offer. So I'm going to flip open to there really quick. So you see the picture here. If you guys can see, if you're watching, you can see there's a picture of all these little hooks. Then there's the story. And there's the offer. And this is the core framework of funnels. When you really start understanding it. All right. Are you guys cool, if I read you part of the book? Ah. Okay, I'm going to read you a story. And this is, anyway, this is a fun one. "So it was 9:27 PM. Sorry. It's 9:27 PM. And the last of Jessica's kids had just fallen asleep. It had been a long day that started out way before the sun came up and was finally ending. While Jessica was exhausted, it was her time now. And she had a few precious moments to herself without kids pulling her in a million directions." Does that sound like any of you guys? If you've got kids, it sounds like me, especially during this quarantine. "Soon she would have to start her nighttime routine of cleaning up the house, getting herself ready for bed, taking off her makeup, and finally falling asleep for a few hours before she had to wake up and start it all over again. As she fell on the couch, she reached in to her pocket and slowly pulled out her phone. What had been happening in everyone else's lives today, she wondered. She opened Facebook and swiped through the lives of her friends and family, hoping to find some comfort, knowing that she wasn't the only one who had a busy day. Soon she started to get bored. But when she was about to close the app, she saw an image fly past her screen. She almost missed it, but she slowly moved her finger back up the phone, bringing the picture into the middle of the screen. Yep. She thought she was right. It was a picture of a woman about her age in workout clothes with gray shorts on. The thing that caught her eye wasn't the shorts, though, it was the dark gray spot in the middle of her shorts. A little confused. She looked around above the image and read the words, 'Let me tell you about the time that I peed my pants during a workout. I was filming for dollar workout club. I'd never been so embarrassed before.' Jessica was right. It was a picture of a grown woman who had peed her pants. She laughed for a second, but then her laughter turned into uneasiness as she realized that she knew exactly how this woman had felt. She had experienced the same thing earlier that year, when her kids had wanted her to jump on the trampoline with them. She wanted to be a good mom, but after a few jumps, she had to get off because she had peed her pants. She quickly came up with a reason why she couldn't jump anymore. And after apologizing to her kids, she had run to her house to get changed. She knew the story she told her kids wasn't true, which added to her mom guilt even more. This also made her think about other activities she knew she would love to do but were off limits for the same reason. After a few seconds of looking at the image, Jessica decided she wanted to see why in the world this woman would post a picture of herself on Facebook telling others that she had peed her pants. She clicked on the image and was immediately taken to the page of the video with the same woman in the picture. Jessica clicked on the video and started listening to the story. The woman's name was Natalie Hodson, and she was a fitness blogger and a mom of two amazing kids, who were both 10 pound babies. Natalie told her embarrassing story, when she accidentally peed her pants during a workout she was filming for her blogs. She then talked about a doctor that she had met, who specialized in helping women with this problem. She shared how the doctors were able to help her. And after she had success, she wanted to share it with other women. Natalie mentioned she had worked with the doctor to create an online program that anyone could do from home with simple exercises to strengthen their abs, core, and pelvic floor. Together, Natalie and the doctors, made an ebook that also came with bonuses, like diet, nutrition trips, exercises, and movements, and special training programs. They wanted to make this offer for all the moms who had struggled with accidental leaks after having babies but didn't have the ability to meet with the doctor in person. Instead, you could get the same advice without ever leaving the comfort of your home, and you can get the ebook with all these bonuses mentioned for just $47. Excited, Jessica jumped off the couch and ran across the room to find her credit card. After typing in her credit card numbers, within minutes, she had access to the ebook that would solve her problem forever. Even though Jessica story is fictional, this type of experience does happen each and every day to women who are embarrassed when they accidentally pee their pants a little bit, when they cough, sneeze, or even jump on the trampoline. Over the past three years, over 120,000 women have purchased Natalie's ebook. This made Natalie Hodson a household name, giving her the ability to change the lives of countless women around the world and made her very wealthy in the process. The framework that Natalie used to get 120,000 people to buy her book, Abs, Core, Pelvic Floor, is called hook, story, offer." Oh, you guys see where this is going? Okay. So think about this. This is happening every single day. And I shared that story at the beginning because Natalie's business has blown up, but it's all based on the same concept. People have their phones, or they're on their computer. They're scrolling through Facebook and Instagram, through YouTube, through blogs, like whatever their method of learning is. They're doing their thing. And then something's got to capture their attention. Now for us, as business owners, as marketers, as entrepreneurs, as funnel hackers, our job has become great at getting people's attention, throwing out hooks that grab their attention. So for Natalie, as she was scrolling through their feed, they see her standing there embarrassed with the peed pants. Like she's sobbing. What is that? Boom. You got them. You hooked them just long enough that you can now tell them a story. Now, the goal of the story is to increase the perceived value of whatever it is you're going to be selling. And then, excuse me, and then you make them an offer.. And that's it. That's the game. That's how we drive traffic. That's how we sell products with things that we're selling inside of our funnel. And I mentioned this earlier, what's interesting is as you start looking at your funnel, at your ad campaigns, everything, if something's not working, launched the ad campaign. It's not working. Why? It's always because of one of these three things, either the hook wasn't right. It's not getting people's attention. Or if it is grabbing attention, but then they're not buying, that means the story did not increase the perceived value of what they're selling, or what you're selling. And if the hook's good, and the story's good, it means the offers is no good. So if you get all three of them working, then everything works in the funnel. And that's true every page. Like the ad, there's a hook, a story, and an offer on the ad. There's a hook, story, offer on the landing page. There's a hook, story, offer on the sales page. Hook, story, offer on the upsell page. Hook, story, offer on the down sell page. Every single page in the funnel has a hook, a story, and an offer. This video alone, literally, I'm here with you guys. This video is a hook. There's a whole bunch of hooks around me. There's the books, the pictures. There's me reading a story. There's me being all animated. There's stuff like that. There's a headline. It's the hook, story, offer, attracted character on Facebook. It wasn't on Instagram because I can't do headline on Instagram. But that was the hook. And so far, live, I've gotten about 200 people on Instagram and about 350-ish on Facebook. So 500 people, boom, and with a second scroll because hook grabbed you guys to get your attention. Now, I have your attention. Now my job is to tell you a story. And the goal of my story is to increase the perceived value of the offer I'm going to be making. So I'm telling you a story about this book. I'm talking about it. I'm reading parts of it to you. I'm getting you excited, where you like, "Oh my gosh, I need that book." And if I've done my job right, if the story is good, it's increased the perceived value of this book. And then I make you the offer. Like, "Hey, I want you to go to trafficsecrets.com and get a copy of his book right now." Here's my offer so the offer is this book normally sells on Amazon for 24 95. You can get it for free at trafficsecrets.com. It's pre-launch right now, but you can get it for free. You just pay 9.95 shipping and handling, and I'll ship one out to you, as soon as we start shipping on May 5th. And then on top of that, I've got five bonuses you can go through immediately. There's five different videos you get for free. And you get this video. Each video is over an hour long of some of the greatest traffic minds on the planet. One was an hour long presentation that I gave at funnel hacking live. One's an hour long presentation, or a 30 minute presentation, for Peng Joon on traffic. And then there's Prince Ea. He's got over 3 billion views on his videos. There's a presentation from him. And there's, I'm blanking on the offer, but there's all these things. And now, if you go to trafficsecrets.com, you get this right now. So good. Hook, boom. I threw a hook out there. Got attention of 500 of you right now. And this will probably get, I don't know, between, over the next week, probably a hundred thousand plus views. So a hundred thousand people see this, if the hook was right. Okay. I tell the story. The story should be engaging. We get to know each other. And then I make you an offer. Hook, story, offer. That is the foundation of all marketing, all business. That's why it's now in the DotCom Secrets, Expert Secrets and the Traffic Secrets books. It's your job to understand that. Now, in the Traffic Secrets book, it's called hook, story, offer, and the attractive character because it's you. It's your personality. You're the one who's throwing these hooks out. You're the one grabbing people's attention. You're going to have to be engaging. You have to be exciting. You have to be figuring things out. And there's books everywhere on every platform. Like, any of you guys who follow me on Instagram, you go to my wall. Everyone of those images is a hook. Like yesterday, I did an image of me holding a post-it note that had a scripture from the book of Esther that said, perhaps, I'm going to mess up the quote right now. "But perhaps you were born for times of right now." That was a hook to people's attention. There are all this panic, all this fear, and people are scrolling through feed. And then boom, I'm throwing the thing to say, "Look, the S is scary, but this is your time. It's time to step up and try to stand." I hooked. I was telling you a story. And the offer is just people like it. I think I had like 4,000 likes in the first, I don't know, like five or six hours. So hook, story, offer. It's happening there. It's happening there. It's happening when I'm selling, happening in my videos, happening in my emails, happening in my ads. Everywhere you're publishing, everything you're doing, hook, story, offer is there, over and over and over and over and over again. Kim said, "Russell, is a hook just an image?" It's not just an image. It can be an image. Yes. But it can be so many other things. A hook is anything that grabs your attention. And so when you're scrolling through your feed, sometimes the thing is like, in fact, this is your assignment. Tonight, when we got off this, whenever you get off this, whatever you're listening to, go to Instagram or Facebook or YouTube, wherever you're excited about. And just start scrolling, just go through the feed and start scrolling. And notice what things grab your attention. And when someone grabs your attention, stop. And then what was it that grabbed the attention? Was it the headline? Was it the image? Was it the crazy person? Was it something? Was it the comments? There's something that grabbed attention. Whatever that was that grabbed attention is the hook. So I'm making my videos. I'm looking for, I set up this location, right here, for a couple reasons. Like, here's a potential hook that might grab some. You see some books. I could put something on the screen, back here. I'm in my funnel hacker shirt. I'm excited. I'm talking. All these elements are things I'm doing to try to hook people. I don't know what's going hook. Something hooked all of you guys. Some of it's because you know who I am. So that's the hook. Some of it's, you're looking for traffic. That's the hook. Some of you guys just like, "There's this weird guy who's all excited. What is it? what's happening?" The hook is different… your energy is the best hook. So hook is just, it's whatever it is that grabs their attention. So it's all the tools we have in our tool chest. We're trying all of them. We're throwing everything out to get their attention just long enough that they're going to stop from their scrolling. List stop. And then you say, "Okay, cool. Now, I got your attention. Let me tell you a story." I'm telling the story. And again, the goal of the story is to build, to increase the perceived value of the thing that I'm going to sell them next, the offer I'm going to make. And then I make an offer. That's the game. That's it. What's fun is because now it's like when people have a funnel, like, "My funnels not working, Russ. What do I do?" And it's funny. I have people, we do consulting. And it's, I don't really do it any more because it just, I ran out of time. But last time I did consulting it was a hundred grand for a day, and people coming in like, "My funnel's not working. I want to increase." Literally, what I would do, I would go to the ad and look at that and say, "Okay, this ad is doing all right. How can we make it better? Is there any better hooks we could use? Is there a better story you can tell? What's a better offer?" And we spent some time on that. Then we'd go to the landing page. "Okay, here's your landing page. Cool. It's doing all right. What's a better hook we can do? What's a better story we could tell? What's a better offer?" And then go to sales page, hook, story, offer, hook, story, and that's it. There's no magic trick. You want to see the magician, how he reveals his magic tricks. That literally is it. It's hook, story, offer. If you paid me a hundred grand today, that's all we would do. What's interesting is at funnel hacking live two years, let's see, not last year but a year before, funnel hacking live, my opening keynote presentation, I talked about hook, story, offer for first time ever. And I remember Stacy Martino was there, and she said, "I went home that night. And I was like, 'Okay, I need some help, but I don't know what to do. If I was to pay Russell, he would just tell me it's hook, story, offer. So what I'm going to do is I'm just going to think what's my hook, my story, offer'." She started looking at her business. She said, "Oh my gosh, my story is amazing. My offer's amazing. I'm not throwing out enough hooks." She says, "I'm going to throw out some more hooks." So she started doing all these things, and she messaged me, I don't know, like two weeks later. She's like, "Russell, thanks for consulting." I'm like, "hat are you talking about?" She's like, "You told me that if I was to hire you, you'd do hook, story, offer. So I just looked through my own business. I said, 'Is it the hook, the story, the offer?' I realized it was hook. I threw out a bunch more hooks. And she said, "We just had the most profitable month of our entire business because of that." I'm like, "Wow, that's amazing." Like now, you know my tricks. Now I'm useless in the equation. That's what's important for you guys to understand. Your job as marketers is to become good at throwing out hooks that grab someone's attention. Then after you have their attention, tell them a story that builds the perceived value of the offer you're going to make them. And then make them an irresistible offer. When you become good at that, you'll be able to write your own paychecks for the rest your life. So your homework right now is to start going through your feed, newsfeed, Instagram, Facebook, Google, anywhere you're going at and start paying attention to the hooks that are grabbing your attention. And then if the hook grabs your attention, click on it. And then go listen. Listen to what's the story. What's the hook on the landing page? What's the story they're telling you? What's the offer? And you start paying attention. This is what funnel hacking is all about, noticing what's happening and watching it and paying close attention because the way you do this is not going to be magic. It's just you're looking at that, and you're figuring out how do I do the same thing? How do I throw out hooks? How do I tell stories? Especially right now, like right now, the media is good at this. Why is media pushing so much fear? Because fear is a great hook I'm not a big believer in let's throw fear out there to try to sell products. But that's what the media is doing. They're really good at throwing out hooks. They call it clickbait. The clickbait, they're trying to get hooks out there. It's the same thing, but ethical, that you're trying to do. And so that should help. So Mateo said, "How do you help us survive in Corona time?" This is how you survive. You need to build a life preserver around your business. The life preserver are customers. Business is all about just getting customers and serving them at the highest level possible. People still have money. There's the false belief like, "Oh no, people don't have money." It's like, no, they still have money. Money hasn't disappeared. It's going to shift a lot of businesses. People are losing jobs and stuff, but it's like, you understand people have money. They're still spending money on things that they need. Like, look at what people are buying now. There's a lot of things people are buying right now. You have to understand that, and you have to protect your company. You have to build a life preserver of customers. And how do you do that? The best way is to get traffic, people, customers to you, which is why I'm going live every single day until further notice about this Traffic Secrets book because that's what I'm talking about. I know I have an interview. I got to jump off. It's happening in three minutes. So I'm going to bounce, but I want all you guys right now, it's time right now, during this moment of fear and frustration and quarantine and whatever the season we're in right now, this is the time for you to sharpen your saw and become better. I recommend going to trafficsecrets.com, getting copy of the free book. The book doesn't ship until May 5th. But the order form bump, the upsells is the audio book, which is seven hours of me reading the book. You can get it today. It's ready right now. So that's happening. And then, like I said, I'm going live every day during the weekday, going through chapter by chapter. So go pay attention. Go back and watch and start learning these principles. Even while you're waiting for the book, you can start understanding these principles and start becoming better at them. And test some hooks today. Post something on your Instagram wall or your Facebook wall or wherever you post stuff and test a hook out. See if you can get someone's attention. And just practice your hooks because the better you get at hooks, the more people. That's kind of game plan. So, all right, that's it you guys. It's time. Go get your book at trafficsecrets.com. I appreciate you guys. Thanks for hanging out today. You're all amazing. And I hope you guys enjoy your time in quarantine. I know it's scary and stressful times, but we need to be focusing on the positive and focusing on building life preservers around your business, which is traffic. It's customers. It's people. And so let's focus all about how to get, not just customers. If I can get this down here, not just customers, but how to get your dream customers, the right ones, the ones you actually want to serve into your business. And so that's the game plan. All right. Thanks guys. Appreciate you all. And we'll talk to you all tomorrow. All right. Bye everybody.

In this episode of The Hyperfast Agent Podcast, host Dan Lesniak speaks with copyright gurus, Nick Tozier and William Adkison. Nick and William are the copywriters on Dan's team and know just how important copyright is when it comes to communicating your message to your clients. With differing backgrounds, both Nick and William bring different writing perspectives, but they both agree that copywriting is essential to real estate marketing! Episode Highlights: William began his writing career when he was teaching at a university, eventually progressing into academic copywriting. Nick has been writing copy for over 15 years, touching blogs, articles, product descriptions, and real estate. William outlines the differences between academic writing and sales copy, mainly the engagement aspect. As a Masters student, William taught entry-level history to undergrad students before leaving academia. People skim and scan online, only occasionally stopping to read content from front to back. The hook acts as a tool to draw people into the story, whether it be in an article or an Instagram post. There needs to be a clear call-to-action (CTA) or an offer at the end. William aims to bring in organic traffic to the team blog through longer-form content, giving a lot more story to work with. Nick works to change little things on emails, ie. colors, fonts, headlines, to see what works the best. Make sure to track your email numbers, how many clicks, opens, etc., to see what works well and what doesn't. Start with some kind of blog, on LinkedIn or your website, and answer the questions that you receive as an agent. Focus all your attention on the hook and the offer by reusing the content that you are already making. The fear of having their words rejected stops real estate agents from doing this consistently and making it their own. It's important to trust that the message you are trying to send is the right one; some people will love it and some people will reject it. Those that disapprove of what you have to say are going to be much more vocal than the ones that agree with you. All engagement, whether it's positive or negative, is useful because it makes it more likely that your content will appear in searches. There is a sense of triumph that lies in flipping a negative reviewer into a positive one. Consistency in creating content is key to getting results and building confidence. Repurpose your longer-form pieces into smaller articles to address your clients' pain points and efficiently use your time. Create a swipe file so that you can take other's creative ideas and adapt them to your business. Both Nick and William were able to use their past experiences to create success in the real estate copywriting industry. Each candidate in the election is going to have their unique effect on the real estate industry. William spends his spare time writing for his personal blog and creatively, just for fun. When Nick isn't writing, he enjoys playing guitar because it has such a large personal payoff. 3 Key Points: At the end of the day, your marketing needs to engage the readers enough to get them through the story and to your offer. It's important to dedicate some time each day toward creating decisive content, making sure to consistently provide value to buyers. It's important for real estate agents to remain unique and not fear rejection when putting their content online.

Jim Edwards (http://www.thejimedwardsmethod.com) and Stew Smith discuss what makes salescopy work best for you. How your sales pages flow is important. Having a hook, a compelling story, and a dynamite offer is how it works. You need to remind people that you have the answer to their problems and tell them what you, your products, and service do vs telling them what it actually is.

Agent Marketer Podcast - Real Estate Marketing for the Modern Agent
On this episode Jason Frazier continues his DotCom Secrets Series, covering Russell Brunson's book, DotCom Secrets. This episode covers Secret #2, Hook, Story, Offer.
Our second fast bucks challenge has ended in failure, but we've learnt a lot during the process. We've spent over $1000 and overall not made a profit, but we have some lessons that can save you money in the past. We reflect on advice from marketing guru behind the UGG brand, Brian Smith, who tells us that you never advertise the product, but the life and benefits behind that product. This way you put yourself into the mind of the customer, enabling them to skip right past the product itself and begin imagining the product's effect it will have on their life. Luke talks us through the Hook - Story - Offer template that has been proven to work on both campaign level and on the micro-transaction level. We also geek about about how good Nike is at advertising and reflect on how they utilise these techniques incredibly well. We're brought to you by onthejobmarketing.comIf you're a tradesperson, you need a website and marketing to get more customers. Speak to the people that know your trade and can help with all your marketing needs.
When making an offer to potential clients you want to be creating multiple touchpoints. The goal is to make your people feel like you are everywhere so you and your brand will remain at top of mind awareness. If this seems overwhelming, you're not alone, this was the same problem our guest today, Jen had. Listen to today's podcast. Pedro Adao shares how creating a compelling offer can be as easy as hook, story, offer. Want more 100x? Follow Pedro on Instagram @PedroMAdao, like us on Facebook 100x, or go to www.100xacademy.com.

Selling online is all about VALUE. People WANT TO BUY. But no one wants to be sold. Sales is all about providing more value than the price tag. This episode reveals the keys to be able to sell anything to anyone, and have them thank you afterwards
In this episode I dive deep into what the heck it means to say you need to have a Hook, Story & Offer with every piece of marketing you put out. You know what this means if I were to say "sell me a book" you would come up with a nice title hook sentence and a story of why you wrote the book and then the offer is for me to buy the book. Great ! but what about if you are a real estate agent?? I believe this has been the most challenging to explain to agents - what is my offer they ask? I ask? what is my story, what do you mean story? what is my hook? I mean we well homes, how does all this hook story offer stuff relate to my business, to me? and how can I be different, stand out, be someone who has so much value in the real estate industry that there is no question customers will want to use me and become my client. Listen carefully but mostly think about how this would relate to you and your business and let me know what you think about this episode and if I can do another one that clarifies it even more!

Hook, Story, Offer is a powerful sales tool. Each part plays an important roll in your sales message.
Boom! What's going on everyone? It's Steve Larsen, and this is Sales Funnel radio. Today I'm gonna show you guys my 5 phases of funnel building. I spent the last four years learning from the most brilliant marketers today. And now I've left my nine to five to take the plunge and build my million dollar business. The real question is, how will I do it without VC funding or debt completely from scratch? This podcast is here to give you the answer. Join me and follow along as I learn, apply and share marketing strategies to grow my online business using only today's best internet sales funnels. My name is Steve Larsen and welcome to sales funnel radio. What's up? Hey, I'm excited for this video today! I've actually been thinking about this quite a bit here. Now when you think about building something like a sales funnel... The first time I ever heard about building something like a sales funnel, I was like oh my gosh, I got to write copy. There's the copy piece. I should find some images. I should do some videos. I should do the actual pages themselves. The actual product itself. How I'm gonna promote it? There's all the stuff that goes into it. It can get incredibly stressful. So what I wanted to do right quick is... For those of you guys who are listening, just know that on YouTube - I'm gonna draw this so you guys can see a little bit of my funnel building process. So this is this is interesting. I teach a lot of the stuff at events, and multiple times right, somebody will stand up and be like, "Hey, hey, how should I go about doing upsell, and this, this, and this for my product?" I'm like "Why you even thinking about that? You don't even have a main product yet." Too many times we get too involved in questions we don't really need to answer yet! But there are questions that DO matter from building a funnel. Sometimes people are so concerned about what makes the car engine run that they don't even know how to drive the car. You know what I mean? It's like there's a whole bunch of things out there - and you don't need to know that yet. So literally, my purpose in this episode, is I just wanna walk you guys through the very simple funnel building process that I have and why it works - and how to screw it up. This is really it, I mean this is truly it. Now if you think about it, there are five steps here: The first thing I need to go do is kind of a research period. Check this out... check this out- and I'm gonna explain this kind of as I go along here. The first thing that I do, is I go and I have to make sure that I know what my customers are already buying and how they're buying it. We call it the "what and the how." You guys may have heard of this before, It's the "what and the how," though. So, I go in, and I look at a red ocean meaning if I'm gonna go sell... I don't know? Pencils. I'm looking at pencils or pens, they're over my desk over there... Let's say I'm gonna go sell pens. Who else is selling pens and how are they selling them? Who as far as businesses go, but also the customers; they're like "Hey, this is how I like to hear about my pen purchases. This is how I like to go and purchase my pens." You know what I mean? So we answer the "what and the how?" What am I gonna sell? What are the people selling and how are they selling it? We call it the red ocean when there's lots of competition inside of one place. So I'm gonna go inside, and I'm gonna look at the red ocean. I'm gonna look at the red ocean, and specifically what I'm doing is I'm looking for "the what and how." I'm just gonna write that down again, red ocean, and I'm looking for like I said, "the what and how." I'm gonna draw a bit of line here. That's like phase number one here. Phase number 0ne, red ocean - just research who is already selling the things that I'm interested in selling, and how are they selling them? That's all I'm answering. So the second thing - now that I know a little bit about the actual red ocean and again remember, I know the what and the how that's all I'm looking for. The second thing I can go and start looking into... It's literally the second phase of, funnel building for me is the actual sales message writing. Not products creation. This is super key. There are multiple products in my early years of doing this where I did it wrong. I would start building products before I knew how to sell them. Stupid! Dumb! And when I say that out loud, you're like, "Well yeah, of course, you wouldn't do that." Yeah, well that's what everybody does! They come in, and they start making these products without any knowledge on how to actually go out and sell the thing - meaning the sale script - the sales message. Products don't sell themselves. A product never sells itself. When you go out, and you say, "Oh, the product's so good you've got to get in front of people." The actual cases where that's true are so rare. That is the exception NOT the rule - and I do not build a business based on exceptions. I look only on the rules. So don't go do that. So the second thing, I go and I start building is the actual sales message. Once I've got the sales message down, the way I know I can move onto product creation mode is when there are literally wallets flying through the air at me. Meaning when my sales message is so compelling that people are like, "I have to have that where do I pay you?" And I actually do collect money. Meaning people vote with their wallet, and they tell me, "Yeah, that's a really great idea. Let me give you money," and I actually have money in my hands. That's when I go actually create the product. And you might be like, "Stephen that's kind of weird. It's like a bait and switch thing.” No, no, no, no, no! I always tell them, "Hey, this isn't ready yet. We got the beta version. If you pay this discounted price, you can get the beta version coming out soon.” And then I go build it real fast. There are so many companies that do it that way. And what's cool about that is that you are using the market's opinion to create your products. That's huge. That's a massive benefit that you have. It removes like 90% of the risk of the entrepreneurial game. This game is not risky if you just do it in the right way. Going out and creating a product, then trying to figure out how to sell, then trying to figure out what markets should buy it, that's risky. And that was all the ways that college taught me to build stuff - which is really weird. Anyway... So "red ocean" - when I know the "what and how" is similar to the thing I'm gonna be selling. Then I go and create a sales message. And my aim is to be different, not better - we talked about that a few episodes ago. I'm trying to be different, not better. Super key. And then number three, I actually start building the product. Now, for me actually make a sales message there has to be some idea of what the product's going to be in the first place, but I don't need to actually build the thing! Does that make sense? Very important distinction right there. Then when I'm to going out, and I'm actually building the product. That's when I actually I move onto step number four, (and I'm gonna want more whiteboard space here.) You guys see that light over there on the side? Oh man, this' so funny - guess you'll see all my home studio stuff anyway. Whatever I'm gonna keep going, is that cool? Alright, sounds good. Alright, number four, what I do here is I start building the funnel. Now in order to actually get sales in the first place, I might need somewhat of a funnel up, but I don't obsess over it. So back in step 2 when I build the sales message, I'm running the sales message. I'm actually getting cash coming in, there's some sort of funnel that needs to be up, but I just don't obsess over it. Does that make sense? It wasn't for like four months/ five months, into one of my major products that I started actually going in and adding all the little pieces and glaze - all the features and all the little cool things that ClickFunnels has inside. Does that make sense? 'Cause most people go in, and that's the first thing they do. They're the like, "And then we could have this page, we have this page, this page..." And the issue is that if those are the things that make your product sell (the little tweaks, the little features, that little split test that gave you an extra half a percent conversion increase.) If that's what's making you profitable, your offer and your sales message are not sexy enough - they're not good enough! I don't want to bank on a feature to make my business profitable. My products, my sales message, should be really freaking good. And the funnel is just an accelerant. All the features, all those little things are just an accelerant for everything. Does that make sense? So, then I go in, and I start building the funnel. Meaning I add in all the glaze, I add in all the cool stuff. The last thing I go to, as far as funnel building phases, the final phase is traffic. Lots and lots and lots and lots of evergreen traffic sources, all over the place. Traffic, traffic, traffic, traffic, traffic, traffic. Now the reason I drew these columns is because I wanna make a very important distinction here. In every single one of these, (let me just erase some part here) in every single one of these, I feel like I say this phrase all time... But I was at an event, I was teaching, and somebody said, "Hey Stephen, I know what my red ocean is." I was like, "Sweet." They said, "I've got a converting sales message." I was like "Cool" (or it was converting at least well enough.) I was like, "Cool." And they were like, "I've built the entire product." They were like, "I have a sweet funnel, and I've got a sweet little doohickey, and you know the features and all that stuff inside it." And I was like "Sweet." Then they were like, "Where do I get traffic?" And I was like "Oh my gosh! Are you're serious?" You have to understand that for each one of these, if you go all the way down here, and then you're like, "Where's my traffic coming from?" You've waited too long. You shouldn't have started building the funnel. You shouldn't have started building the product until you know this piece. When it comes down to it, traffic is money, traffic is money. Flow... eyeballs... getting attention. Attention is money. Attention is cash. If you step back, the product is just a reason to collect cash. The sales message is just a reason to collect cash. Traffic is the cash. Traffic is the thing. If you can drive traffic that's epic. Oh my gosh, that's so cool. These are the 5-phases that I build in. First I do this, and then second this, and third I do this, and fourth I do this, and fifth I do this (pointing at whiteboard). Those are the different phases. I don't start any of the phases until I know the answers to those five. So there's really two different blocks here going on. So I'm gonna draw a line right here... (drawing on a whiteboard) So it's two different things you want on here. Everything on the top here I'm just gonna learn, so I'm just gonna put an "L" for that. I'm gonna learn in the red ocean - I'm gonna figure out "the what and the how," that's all wanna know. In the sales message piece, I'm gonna learn, "What gets people so motivated that they're actually giving me cash?" So when I have cash in hand, I'm gonna learn how the other people around ocean are selling. I'm gonna go learn what their sales messages are. I'm not writing sales page yet, I'm just learning. It's a research phase. This whole top part is a research phase. When I go out, and I'm building a product, I find out how these other guys built similar products. And obviously, if you guys have been following me for any amount of time you know that in this phase I go out with my create what's called a purple offer -and that makes me completely unique. But I still need to figure out what people are already buying. I want to be prolific, but I don't wanna be risky. So I'm still gonna go find things out there that are already selling and stem out of similar things, you know what I'm saying? Anyway... So I'm gonna go research best ways to build the products. I'm gonna go research the best funnels that are out there that would be a good model for what I'm starting to see actually go sell. I'm gonna go research all the different traffic methods - the best ones that are out there - evergreen traffic methods. The traffic methods that are gonna bring in a whole bunch of people once. Maybe traffic methods that are a little bit like slow growth ones. I have a podcast episode I suppose like 20 episodes ago called, My 4 Favorite Traffic Methods. I think it's was called... go look at that! That's what I'm looking at specifically. Look at what I've been doing this past a little bit in this podcast, in the show I've been going in, and I've been doing a little bit of a deep dive on each one of these five categories. I'm trying to go like 30000 foot view again, not getting in the weeds on you guys on this stuff. I'm going 30000 overview again. I'm going through, and I'm looking at a 30000 overview, "This is how all the pieces map together." I'm going in: Research phase - What and how. Research phase - Figure out the sales messages. What hooks? What stories can I tell to get people so excited that they get up and they're like take my money and they're throwing their wallet? Next, Research phase - How can I build the products? How can I build the offer? How can I craft a purple offer? How can I craft something that both brings in a kind of risky, prolific, imaginary things (something no nobody's ever done that piece before), but then add the security of what people are currently buying? That's why I call it the purple offer; Red Ocean +Blue Ocean = Purple Ocean. Research phase - What different funnel types are people liking to buy through? Research phase - What kind of traffic's out there? Does that make sense? Then there's the actual execution: Once I know those things, then it is okay for me to go build a funnel. Then it's okay for me to go out and actually start moving to the building phase. Too often people research and build in the exact same steps. Don't do that. It's scary. It's risky. The first thing you're doing is you're going in and researching; you're learning learning learning. Then once you've got all that down, then you build - in that order. Step one, two, three, four, five. And five just continues with five five five five five - 'cause you're going to need "more traffic, more traffic more traffic, more traffic." Does that make sense? I just wanted to walk through that with you guys real quick. So again this 3000 overview. If you guys have been watching what I have been doing the last little bit, the sole purpose of it has been going through, and teaching like, "Hey, look here are the things you go collect from the red ocean before you can move on." There's a podcast episode, I think it's right before this one, walking through red ocean stuff that you should have before you actually go out and move on. The sales message - I do tons of stuff on sales message. If you just rewind 30 episodes and start watching, you'll see I've been diving in and seeing what you guys react to the best so that I know like, "Hey, that was the best way to teach that concept." We are doing a ton of building a product stuff; that's the whole purple offer thing that I talk about. Building the actual funnel, that's what I'm known for. And then traffic, I go back to my four favorite traffic methods. Anyway, you can start to see that, and I just want you to know how the pieces all fit together, 'cause I'm starting to get some questions of people, like, "Sweet, Stephen, I've built this thing, but how do I get traffic for it?" Like, "Oh my gosh! The traffic is where you get paid - why did you not look at that before you started building?" And I get it - they're just new mistakes that you wouldn't know about without being in the game for a little bit. I did the exact same thing with my very first product. I didn't look at a red ocean, kind of did, not really. I definitely didn't look at a sales message. I focused solely on building the product thinking that's what actually causes money. It's not! I focused very heavily on the funnel - so those two (pointing to whiteboard). There's products/ funnel, product /funnel, product/ funnel. I remember the day when it was done - and I was like "IT'S DONE!" I was like, "Babe this is huge! The next question we're gonna answer is what island will we buy? Oh my gosh, this is gonna be so cool!" And nobody bought - because I didn't answer, "How do we get traffic?" And I did not answer, "What sales message?" There was no targeting of "who" I'm actually targeting with the red ocean. And anyway, so hopefully it's been helpful to you guys! I just wanted to go through and kinda do that 30000 overview. So anyways guys, short episode, but this is incredibly impactful. This is like powerful, powerful stuff. In fact, this is the model that we would follow at ClickFunnels. I was the funnel builder over there. Red ocean - we knew very well who we were selling to. The what and how. Also who you're selling to comes from the red ocean. We knew the who, we knew who our customers very very well. The sales message - honestly that's actually where we would start because we knew this piece so well. We would start at the sales message and we would start the building. It's cool to watch. I always noticed Russell Brunson was willing to move forward with actually crafting the offer; he'd have kinda have an idea of what the offer would be. Kinda an idea of what the funnel would be. Kinda an idea of where the traffic come from... But this was the lock gate: If he could not think up a good hook... if he could not think up a good story... he did not move on to offer. It's: Hook/ Story/ Offer. But he did not move on to offer until he knew what hook and story were. And then we'd move on. As soon as we knew that, "Boom!" Then it was like, "Kick Stephen into gear." And I would start building; funnel, funnel, funnel. Now that we knew what it was - we started crafting the offer and started pulling pieces together. I start working with John, and we start working. Anyways, it's a supercool melody of all these actions going on. It takes a lot to get a funnel up, and I totally get that. I encourage you to never do more than one. Don't move on from it until you can literally walk away and have several pieces automated. So anyway. Guys, this is just how I build funnels, not businesses. I just wanted to walk through and share with you guys the relationship between these pieces - and what to do to learn from each of these pieces. Then when you can have license to start - not guaranteeing it'll work - obviously there's always tweaks inside of it, but when can you actually move on to the build phase - and when you are building - what order do you do it in. So anyways, I just wanted to walk through that with you guys. Hope you guys enjoyed this episode. Thank you so much. Thank you so much for reviewing and ratings inside of iTunes - I've loved watching that. It's so fun. It's been very motivating for me. The YouTube channel, you guys have just blown it up. Love reading your comments! It's actually super, super motivating - means a lot to me. I put a lot of work into this; we've got a 7-man team just creating content - that's how it is. So it's actually very very motivating when we hear good feedback! So thanks so much guys. Catch you later. See you next episode, bye. Oh yeah wasn't that awesome? Hey, just real quick, a few months ago Russell asked me to write a chapter for a secret project he was doing. I had to write a chapter for a book, and this was the prompt - this is the letter I got from him... He said: "Hey Steven, let me ask you a quick question. You suddenly lose all your money, along with your name and your reputation. You only have your marketing know-how left. You have bills piled high and people harassing you for money over the phone. You have a guaranteed roof over your head, a phone line, internet connection, and a ClickFunnels account for only one month. You no longer have your big guru name, your following, your JV partners - other than your vast marketing experience, you're an unknown newbie... What would you do from Day 1 to day 30 to save yourself?” Russell Brunson. If you want to see my answer, and a bunch of other marketers that also had to answer that in this amazing book and summit - Just go to 30days.com/Stephen Again, you can see the entire summit, you can see the book, you can see what we wrote and each of our detailed plans. Just go to 30days.com/Stephen. That's 30 as in "3" "0" - 30days.com/Stephen Guys enjoy.
