Before I tell you how one media placement led to 1,600 customers for a business, I want to remind you that public relations is not sales. It's marketing. The sales come afterward.I don't like it when people rely on media placements to get sales. Can it happen and does it happen often? Yes. But it's not sales. It's marketing… and sales are a side effect of getting attention in the media. In SparkToro, Amanda Natividad told a story about her time at NatureBox, a snack food brand. She broke down her earned media goals into two buckets - long-term and short-term. One focus was on building a reputation and the other was to try to sell the product.I love this story for a few reasons and you can replicate what Amanda did by focusing on what she did that worked well.First, they were ready for conversions.

Do you know what "zero click content" is? Our guest on this show coined the phrase and her approach to content development is super interesting. You might be reconsidering your social media strategy after hearing her on this one! "But if we're posting valuable content -- that people can consume just bite-sized pieces of -- or get that discrete value from just by scrolling through, we're going to increase our impressions. And then over time, ultimately, drive more traffic to our site or increase conversions from those impressions." The creator economy continues to evolve and Amanda Natividad will help us to be refreshing! Join us to explore a modern way to approach content marketing.

Great content is like an amazing dish—it's meant to be remixed and shared!That means a great blog post should also be:Visualized and explained in a webinar.Rewritten as a Twitter thread.Discussed in a podcast.Doing so makes it easy for people to consume your content how they want to—whether attending a live webinar or listening to a podcast while at the gym.That's exactly the content strategy that Amanda Natividad, VP of marketing at SparkToro, uses to maximize the reach of the content she creates. Today, Amanda discusses how she repurposes SparkToro's popular office hour webinars attended by thousands of marketers into blog posts.She even believes that starting with a webinar before writing a blog post might be better:“As you're presenting your ideas, you can pick up on how the audience are reacting. For example, people in the chat might be saying, ‘Oh, that's a really good example.' They could even tell you if they're confused. Those things give you clue to improve your content.”In this Marketing Powerups episode, you'll learn:The benefits of repurposing webinars into blog posts versus the other way around.Amanda's detailed process for turning webinars into blog posts.The art of coining terms like “zero-click content.”A resume tip that's helped Amanda transition from a test kitchen chef to a VP of marketing at a fast-growing startup.

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™...... you're going to find out how to cook differently using an innovative kitchen appliance, Brava, that's got some cool features that will get you excited about making your meals at home—always a good idea!First—what Brava is not. The Brava countertop cooking oven isn't a microwave, isn't a toaster oven, and isn't a convection oven.Instead, it's a device that cooks with light. Six lamps deliver exact, variable, infrared light waves to your food. Brava synchronizes and controls the amount of power each lamp emits. Simultaneously, the lamps instantly reach full power and turn off just as quickly, creating three independent cooking zones inside the chamber. The top five benefits of this cooking method include: Searing (great for your grass-fed steaks), precision, versatility, speed and quality. Brava also cooks up to three different ingredients at the same time. You can air fry, dehydrate and cook your favorite white rice in it (Bulletproof Diet approved). It's user- and kid-friendly, so your whole family can be part of a lifestyle that prioritizes food that nourishes your body and ups your energy.Brava's vice president and professional chef, Travis Rea, led the Brava Culinary Team in developing Brava's patented Pure Light Technology (physicists and mathematicians were in on it, too). He's on the show to explain the technology behind Brava and how cooking with light will change your entire approach to food.Travis earned a degree in Culinary Arts at the California Culinary Academy. Prior to Brava, he headed the Food Development team at Williams-Sonoma for eight years where he developed nearly 800 private label food products. His experience also includes leadership roles at Revolution Foods and NatureBox. So, he knows the many facets of creating great food.Brava takes out the guesswork of meal planning by offering over 7,000 fully automated recipe programs. This means you can enjoy cooking more because it takes less of your time.SPECIAL OFFER FOR LISTENERS OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE: https://www.brava.com, use code DAVE at checkout to get $200 OFF any Brava set through December 31, 2022.

Welcome back to another episode with Paul Chambers. In the last episode, we discussed how to take care of our customers using recurring revenue models. Today, we're going to discuss the pros and cons of several different recurring revenue models, along with tips and tricks for each model.   Subscription Boxes   Today there are thousands of different subscription boxes we can subscribe to, such as Ipsy and Birchbox for beauty products, Naturebox and Urthbox for super yummy natural snacks, Bulubox for workout products, the Beard Club, and the Candy Club. There are a lot of opportunities with subscription boxes. People love to watch unboxings on YouTube or Instagram. They're great for holidays and events. There are boxes for travel, for kids, for lifestyle, or for your horse or dog that you get on a monthly basis. Paul said, “If there's a niche out there, there's an opportunity to build a subscription box.”    There can be many pros to subscription boxes. One of these is the recurring revenue it provides every month, which can take a lot of stress off an entrepreneur's shoulders. It also limits unnecessary expenses because we only have to order enough products to fulfill our subscriptions. Our customers can also have a lot of fun with the discovery and delight side of subscription boxes by introducing people to new products and working with a lot of different brands to put new items in the box. When Paul was working on the Gentleman's box, they worked with Manscaped and Dollar Shave Club.   A con of subscription boxes is they tend to have a faster turnover. After six or seven months, people can get what Paul calls box burnout and stop subscribing.   The Right Software   Picking the right software to run a subscription box business can be tricky. It's important to know what we're trying to accomplish. Cratejoy can be a one software option because it is fast and easy to build a subscription box. They also have a marketplace, so they already have an audience for us to sell to. However, it can have its challenges with products and flexibility.    Shopify is another platform that allows us to sell subscriptions through their widget where we can add on plugins and easily build on top of that. But it doesn't have an audience like Cratejoy, so we'd have to go market on mysubscriptionaddiction.com or other places like that.   There are OrderGroove and Zuora that take it to the next level. OrderGroove is making big waves; they have some cool AI features and they are getting tightly integrated with Shopify. Zuora is an enterprise software company that is good for larger companies like Nike.    When Paul launched the Gentleman's Box, Cratejoy didn't exist yet, so they used WooCommerce which is a little more flexible, but they had to play with it a bit to get their subscription box management the way they wanted it.   Discovery and Delight   Subscription boxes tend to go two ways: discovery and delight or replenishable. Discovery and delight boxes send new products that customers can find joy in. They aren't necessarily products that need to be replaced on a regular basis.    Paul said these kinds of boxes tend to work well on a quarterly basis rather than a monthly one. On a monthly basis, people often unsubscribe after about six or seven months, but they'll stay longer on a quarterly basis.   Replenishable    A replenishable service or product is something people continue to need. It's a great subscription model because customers must buy these every month or so anyway, so making it a subscription box that shows up right at their door makes it very easy for them. These are products like razors, which Dollar Shave Club does, or toothbrushes, which Quip does. However, this type of subscription isn't limited to boxes. SaaS products often work great in this category because customers need access to that service every month.   Early on in the days of Gentleman's Box, Paul and the founding team were thinking about raising capital, so they met with some investors. One of those people was Jack Abraham, a successful entrepreneur, and investor. He told them, “I love what you're doing. This is so cool, but it needs some sort of replenishable product inside.”   The team told him to thank you but they were happy with what they had. Abraham went on to co-found Hims, which is now one of the leading hair growth subscriptions, doing exactly what Gentleman's Box should have been doing, Paul said.   If we are doing a subscription box and there's an opportunity to put a replenishable product in it, we should take it because it will increase the longevity of our customers.   SaaS   The pros of SaaS are longevity and opportunity. “If you can build a good solution that people love and need, they're . . . less likely to leave you at some point in time. They'll stay on as long as they're using that solution,” Paul said. SaaS gives us that audience and the opportunity to build and expand our audience.   SaaS also has lots of opportunities. Paul said, “There [are] tens of thousands of SaaS companies out there, but tons of opportunity still to create solutions that people are looking for.”   We can look at a company like Canva, which is very popular and successful. They could have looked at Adobe's subscription for Photoshop and thought, there's no way we could compete with them. But they didn't give up and tried to find a way to make it easier. “My philosophy is to leave no stone unturned. Look at what your biggest pain points are and challenges in your day and if something doesn't already exist for that, then that's a great opportunity to build,” Paul said.    The challenge with SaaS is we must frequently evolve it. We can't just create the software, put it out in the world, and sit back as the money starts rolling in. Paul had this problem with Quotegine. They did just that and thought they were done, but then people started getting bugs, breaking the system, and requesting new features and integrations. Paul and his team hadn't anticipated that.    “You can't have that mentality of building a SaaS solution that you're not going to need to continue to invest in,” Paul said. Having a technical co-founder, especially in the beginning, can help because paying developers can be expensive.   Membership Models   The key to membership is consistently providing value. Paul described how the Subscription Trade Association is constantly putting out new content, and they're constantly deciding what they're going to give away for free. “We err on the side of giving more away than we probably even should, because . . . we want to grow the community,” Paul said. “We want to help people as much as possible, and if they find this helpful, then they'll engage and subscribe and become members.”   Being a member and being a subscriber can overlap. For example, Paul and I are both members of Amazon Prime, but we also subscribe to Amazon Prime. “A good membership,” Paul said, “is something you'll pay for on a monthly basis and never question that charge or not even know when that charges your credit card.”    Paul and I couldn't remember when Amazon charges us or even how much the membership is now. This is a great example of customers never questioning the value of that membership.   Amazon isn't perfect, however. Personally, I don't feel like part of a community when I say I'm a member of Amazon Prime. I pay for it—and I will continue to pay for it—but I get a service from it, not a community. Amazon is missing the opportunity to build that community. For example, with their streaming service, they could create a way to watch TV and movies with other members online as Disney+ and Netflix have done.    Community is a crucial part of membership. Without it, our audience may just feel like subscribers. We should be doing everything we can to foster our membership communities.   Access/Streaming   The next recurring revenue stream is what I call the access model, but it could also be referred to as streaming. This model is where customers pay to access something. Streaming services like Netflix and Hulu fit into this, but it can also include something like Adobe Stock Images where customers pay to have access to millions of images.   A concern that small businesses have with this model is they're too small to create something like Adobe's image library. They don't have the resources or the finances to build out that library.    The access model is a two-sided marketplace: there are creators putting content out there and people accessing content from the creators. It would be hard for a small business to create all that content themselves. If I want to start a stock photography site, instead of going out and taking thousands of pictures myself, I could let my audience provide pictures. It may still be a challenge to find photographers, provide them with value, and get them to feed my library, but it is easier than trying to do it all myself.    On the streaming side of access, we may think all the big companies (YouTube, Netflix, Hulu or Disney+, Amazon Prime, Peacock, Paramount Plus, etc.) have it covered, but Paul believes there's still a lot of opportunities out there. If the top 10 YouTube creators right now started their own streaming service, people would download that app immediately, and they would have a good chance at competing with the big companies.   Key Takeaways   Thank you so much Paul for sharing your stories and insights with us today. Here are some of my key takeaways from this episode:   There are tons of opportunities with subscription boxes. Consider creating a box with a replenishable product to increase the longevity of customers. The SaaS model is a great way to have lifetime (or at least very long-term) customers. However, we need to ensure we are constantly providing value by evolving and upgrading the software. To think of a SaaS solution, find the pain points in your industry and see if there is existing software that could help fix that. Is there a way you could add a tectonic shift to an existing SaaS product, as Google Docs did by adding remote collaboration to a market that Microsoft Word used to dominate? The membership model should be about providing value and creating a community where your target audience can feel they belong. When building an access library, we can use our audience to help us provide content as long as we are also providing them value.   Connect with Paul   If you enjoyed this interview and want to learn more about Paul or connect with him, you can find him on LinkedIn or visit subta.com.   Want to be a Better Digital Monetizer?   Please follow these channels to receive free digital monetization content:   Get a free Monetization Assessment of your business Subscribe to the free Monetization eMagazine.

A portion of our Young Turks Main Show from June 16, 2015. For more go to http://www.tytmembership.com. Hour 1: Cenk and John. Electile Dysfunction segment. After Marco Rubio participated in a Koch Brothers' sponsored event for presidential candidates claiming that the rich donors don't want anything from the bought candidates, many lobbyists have been seen around him. Videos of Rubio playing dumb, and Ted Cruz voicing his disgust for people calling out the Kochs. During Jeb Bush's campaign launch speech, he blatantly mischaracterized Hillary Clinton's previous words about helping kids in foreign countries whose rights are limited based on radical Islamic beliefs. Video of Jeb forming her words to paint her as biased against Christianity in America. Although TYT has a ban on Donald Trump, his announcement to run for President forces us to cover it. Video highlights of his comical announcement.Hour 2: Ana joins Cenk for SCS. They rave about NatureBox. After a gun toting mall security guard murdered a 20 year old woman that resisted his advances, the response from the MRA groups is very supportive of the killer. Latest on Rachel Dolezar now that she's making the media rounds. Kareem Abdul Jabbar has come out in support of her efforts, claiming that the Black community is better off with her work. Funny memes of Rachel are now circulating. A principal gave a graduation speech in support of the school cheerleaders that caught hell for dressing up as “Mexican gangsters.” He admired them for their strength and courage.

A portion of our Young Turks Main Show from June 4, 2015. For more go to http://www.tytmembership.com. Hour 1: Cenk and Ana hosting. Nature Box plug. A study showed which career fields tend to be full of Republicans vs Democrats. Ted Cruz was speaking to a supportive crowd at a campaign stop and made a few jokes about VP Biden. Videos of his jokes, and him walking away from a reporter that asked him why he chose to target Biden during his time of grieving over his son's death. Cenk gives him the benefit of the doubt that he possibly forgot the horrible news about his son until he saw him walk away from the question. The anti-choice legislation that Scott Walker is planning on signing includes language that would allow the father of the baby to sue the doctor for “emotional distress.” This comes right after Walker claimed women that are raped get over it in the 1st couple of months of the pregnancy, so its ok to force them to carry out the pregnancy.Hour 2: Meundies plug. Video of Tara Lynn Belcher from South Carolina loses her nerve against a customer by calling him the “N” word because she says she's “an angry bitch”. Video from AJPlus goes into exploring the definition of “terrorism”. Comedian Amy Schumer recently received the trailblazer from Glamour magazine with an acceptance speech from Amy, claiming in receiving “a lot of dicks”.
