Favorite Quote “I have a list, right? So, I have that asset already built, which is another main struggle that I see people who are just getting started out... So, I just launched my group and I think I might have sent one email to my list and had a flood of people join it. My audience was ready for something, it had been a while since I made them an offer. They all knew about power offers, they loved them. So, for me to call and say, ‘Let's do a deep dive workshop on power offers,’ it was a no-brainer. I did a very, very quick post in my group and then just a checkout page. There was no sales page. It was just, ‘Here's what I want to do’ in a Facebook post, and then send them straight to the checkout page with no sales copy.”  - Joel Erway  Connect with Joel Erway  The Power Offer Workshop Joelerway.com How to get involved Justin DeMers launched his simple, low ticket workshop, Click Go Live, without a large audience – and sold over $200K in four months.

“Part of your process as a business owner is celebrating your clients.” - Justin Demers (8:29-8:32)Timothy Dick Profit Layer Social proof is a powerful way to demonstrate the value of your services. Testimonials, reviews, and other forms of social proof give prospective clients the confidence to say “yes” to your offer. But business owners fail to use social proof in a strategic way, so they often struggle to increase revenue and retain clients over time. Michelle and Justin Demers help entrepreneurs systematize social proof and customize their marketing messages. Businesses typically ask for testimonials after they’ve delivered their services to clients. But this makes the process more transactional and less personal while hurting the relationships you’ve built over months and years. “Any business can pay for ads. But when you give the voice to the consumer, they become real.” - Timothy Dick (5:09-5:24)Referrals and testimonials give your marketing messages more power in communicating with your target audience. In today’s online marketplace, consumers turn to review sites to see what others are saying about your product or service. Many business owners collect testimonials and reviews from clients without knowing what to do with them. In order to get the best results from testimonials, identify the stories that drive actions and create meaningful change for them and your business. Celebrate Your Clients’ Big WinsSocial proof isn’t just about the value you provide. It’s also a way for you and your clients to communicate the transformation they go through as a result of working with you. This occurs along every step of the journey. Don’t wait until the end to ask for a testimonial. Your onboarding process is an opportunity to invite clients to celebrate their wins. This changes the conversation from “How can I get something?” to “How can I do something for you?” It creates a different perspective through which you and your clients view your relationship. It provides you with ongoing feedback throughout the entire journey, which helps you improve your offer and better meet the needs of your clients. “Capturing clients’ stories throughout their journey is not only a sales tool… it’s also a belief builder.” - Justin Demers (14:58-15:05) Prospective clients often struggle to believe they can achieve the same level of success as others. Showing the big wins of your clients over time helps them see it’s possible for them. It motivates your existing clients to finish what they started by giving them the opportunity to celebrate their accomplishments. Gathering social proof from clients shows them you’re listening. It builds empathy and strengthens your relationships with them. When clients struggle to overcome obstacles, the steps they took to overcome them can be powerful indicators to others who are also struggling. Systematizing social proof is the key to getting better results with your marketing. When you match the right stories with a prospect’s objections or limiting beliefs, they’re more likely to see the value of your services and how they can help them. Gathering social proof assets gives you a marketing arsenal you can use no matter who you’re trying to reach. It takes effort to gather and organize social proof assets. But with the right data management systems in place, delivering the most relevant social proof can be done in just a few clicks. Knowing how to use social proof in your marketing shows your target audience that you care about their success. It shows them that you do what you say when so many other businesses fail to deliver on their promises. You attract the right clients to your business and strengthen your position as the first and obvious choice for their needs. If you aren’t utilizing social proof in your current business strategy, it may be time to start strategizing how you can implement this powerful tool. Let the wins you’ve helped others achieve pave the way for greater success with prospective clients.

“If you bake social proof gathering into your fulfillment, it reaffirms the belief that your client made the right decision.” - Justin DeMers (17:03-17:10)Nic Peterson & Jeff Moore Preeminence Unleashed Successful businesses leverage the power of social proof. Your target audience is more likely to take action when they see others who are like them achieve the results they’re looking for. Social proof is a powerful factor to consider when designing and implementing your marketing strategies. But it takes more than an endless testimonial page on your website to generate new clients for your business. Integrating social proof gathering into everything you do builds the assets that compel prospective customers to choose you over your competitors. “If you can articulate the story someone is telling themselves better than they can articulate it, you win.” - Nic Peterson (7:54-8:01)Business owners make the mistake of believing that testimonials are all they need to establish social proof, assuming that visitors will read through all of their testimonials. Let me break it to you. They don’t. To make social proof work for you, it is crucial to offer the right social proof indicators at the right time. Prospects are afraid of being the first one to use the product. Leveraging social proof can give you the power to eliminate the fear that comes with purchasing a new product or service. It allows you to give them the gift of going second. With social proof, new customers gain confidence knowing that others have used your product and achieved real results, and overcomes the obstacle of someone thinking the results of others could never be possible for them. Each potential client has a story they are telling themselves about the potential for success and risk of failure. Utilizing social proof allows you to articulate that story better than the prospect ever could. Prop up the success of your previous clients before touting your own. This builds trust and credibility, which go a long way in building a lasting and profitable brand. Make Social Proof an Essential Part of the Sales ProcessThe secret to using social proof effectively is to bake it into every stage of your process. Whether you’re selling, onboarding, or fulfilling client orders, infuse social proof into every step. Prospects will move through your sales funnel in a more natural way with the guidance of those who are already one step ahead of them. After converting a client, social proof reaffirms that they made the right decision. That belief component makes it easier for you to market and sell your products and services and will increase client retention. Getting feedback is key to building social proof. But don’t just interview customers hoping to extract something for your benefit. Instead, foster one-on-one human interactions that give the individual an opportunity to share something real. People connect to stories that feel real. Video testimonials don’t need high-level production value. Honesty is what matters. “Humans connect to stories that feel real.” - Justin DeMers (24:48-24:53) When you create the right social proof assets, you have the ability to leverage them in the right order at the right time. The online marketplace is filled with marketers who misrepresent claims around their products. Many entrepreneurs show income statements without legally required disclaimers, and customers can be compensated for their story in many ways including access to exclusive content, training, and other benefits. Whether compensation is financial or otherwise, businesses need to be upfront when using paid testimonials. Social proof is more than just getting clients to praise you through testimonials. When you focus on sharing your clients’ successes, and you implement that strategy into your entire sales process, it’s easy to create powerful social proof so your audience has the confidence, trust, and belief to say “yes” to your offer.

This year I’ve published 31 episodes of the Digital Convergence Podcast. If there is anything to be learned from these podcast episodes this year it’s that gear will only get you so far. Most cameras made today are good–even the iPhone in your pocket. Video editor Chris Fenwick called the iPhone a “studio in our hands.” With such power and quality available to us, there’s no reason to agonize over what camera to buy. In essence, there’s nothing left to pixel peep because all pixels are pretty good.  So now that we’ve got gear angst out of the way, in 2017 and beyond, we can move on and focus on creating. You are first and foremost a creative.  Imagination trumps gear.  The creative process begins with an idea. Where do creative ideas come from? In this last episode of 2016, I explore this question and examine the creative process through a series of interview clips that feature filmmaker and director David Lynch, actor and comedian Gene Wilder, director and explorer James Cameron, composer and performer Yanni, musician and founder of The Black Eyed Peas will.i.am, producer and musician Brian Eno, and author, lecturer, and education expert Sir Ken Robinson. Their thoughts on where creative ideas originate, the creative process, creative failure, and overcoming creative discouragement will inspire you to expand your creative horizons no matter what your situation is in life, or the gear and software you have, in the year ahead.  Please support our show sponsors:  Get your yearly subscription to the VideoBlocks + AudioBlocks bundle today for only $149 here: http://videoblocks.com/digital2016  CrumplePop - Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro X Plugins: http://crumplepop.com  Mentioned in the show:  Interviews on Creativity:  Hitchcock's Definition of Happiness: https://youtu.be/14dOICbwSIs  Gene Wilder on Creativity (from CTForum.org) https://youtu.be/4gG3ludjkMs  James Cameron Interview on Creativity | Montréal 2014: https://youtu.be/duEyYGqWFt8  Yanni: Illustrating the Creative Process: https://youtu.be/xQJ21n9LDHo  will.i.am on Creativity | American Genius (from National Geographic): https://youtu.be/yEnVShUZXks  Brian Eno by Alfred Dunhill: https://youtu.be/5mqtc2Z3K8o  Brian Eno & Steven Johnson On Art (from How We Get To Next): https://youtu.be/RMU5nhpb4LE  Sir Ken Robinson on creativity and education: https://youtu.be/fKaGExyFOR0  Steve Johnson’s How We Get To Next: https://howwegettonext.com  The amazing people featured on Digital Convergence Podcast in 2016:  Filmmakers:  Justin DeMers and Ray Tsang: DCP 185: Team of One Filmmaking with Justin DeMers and Ray Tsang: https://creativemethod.tv/blog/dcp-185-team-of-one-filmmaking-with-justin-demers-and-ray-tsang  Rick Delgado: DCP 188: Director and Cinematographer Rick Delgado: https://creativemethod.tv/blog/dcp-188-director-and-cinematographer-rick-delgado  Cinzia Angelini: DCP 190: Mila Film Writer and Director Cinzia Angelini and Producer Andrea Emmes: https://creativemethod.tv/blog/dcp-190-mila-film-writer-and-director-cinzia-angelini-and-producer-andrea-emmes  Jason Amm: DCP 191: Jason Amm - Producer of Electronic Voyager: Retracing Bob Moog's Sonic Journey: https://creativemethod.tv/blog/dcp-191-jason-amm-producer-of-electronic-voyager-retracing-bob-moogs-sonic-journey  Mathew Farrell: DCP 193: The Karakoram Anomaly - With Mathew Farrell: https://creativemethod.tv/blog/dcp-193-the-karakoram-anomaly-with-mathew-farrell  Tom Bryan: DCP 202: Tom Bryan's The Casey Neistat School of Filmmaking: https://creativemethod.tv/blog/dcp-202-tom-bryans-the-casey-neistat-school-of-filmmaking  Ken Bell: DCP 206: Kenn Bell - Director of Second Chance Dogs: https://creativemethod.tv/blog/dcp-206-kenn-bell-director-of-second-chance-dogs  Entrepreneurs:  Soundstripe: DCP 189: Soundstripe Co-Founder Micah Sannan: https://creativemethod.tv/blog/dcp-189-soundstripe-co-founder-micah-sannan  Jason Been: DCP 192: Jason Been - Imagecraft Productions: https://creativemethod.tv/blog/dcp-192-jason-been-imagecraft-productions  Dylan Higginbotham: DCP 207: Dylan Higginbotham - Founder of Stupid Raisins and Creator of FCP X Plugins: https://creativemethod.tv/blog/dcp-207-dylan-higginbotham-founder-of-stupid-raisins-and-creator-of-fcp-x-plugins Brent Barbano of Sharegrid: DCP 196: Am I Getting Paid Enough? - Part 3: https://creativemethod.tv/blog/dcp-196-am-i-getting-paid-enough-part-3 Mentors: Dave Dugdale: DCP 203: Dave Dugdale on Sony and Canon: https://creativemethod.tv/blog/dcp-203-dave-dugdale-on-sony-and-canon  Caleb Pike: DCP 204: Caleb Pike Builds a Hackintosh for FCP X: https://creativemethod.tv/blog/dcp-204-caleb-pike-builds-a-hackintosh-for-fcp-x  Kris Simmons: DCP 194: Am I Getting Paid Enough?

Filmmakers Justin DeMers and Ray Tsang have a conversation with me about Team of One filmmaking. Many listeners of the Digital Convergence Podcast are solo-filmmakers or solo-creatives, but just because they run a creative business by themselves does not mean they have to do it alone. Justin and Ray are here to help solo-filmmakers thrive in their business. Ray is an Emmy-award winning Director of Photography with a background in finance. He shares his story of turning a hobby he loved into a thriving business as a filmmaker. Justin channeled his inner Alton Brown and hatched a demented Cutthroat Kitchen-ish plot to film and document Ray tackle a start-to-finish solo video project. The results: over 20 in-depth video lessons themed: Team of One Filmmaking Course (included in the Academy of Storytellers online learning resource for digital media creatives).
