In this episode, you'll also hear:The mindset you need to have to promote without turning off your followersHow to use social media to engage potential readersWhat kinds of content attract more attention and engagementHow to leverage Facebook groups effectivelyWhen not to purchase ads promoting your workYou probably already know that social media provides a powerful platform for promoting your work. But here's a word of caution: It's also extremely easy to slip into a pattern of constant self-promotion that can turn off your followers and damage your brand. So let's talk about some strategies for how to use social media to create buzz around your work while also bringing value to your followers. Develop a Mindset to Start with ValueOne of the biggest mistakes that Christian authors make when they haven't learned how to use social media effectively is to flood their feeds with constant promotion and updates about their book. This alienates your followers and sends them running for the hills! People who genuinely have a need and interest in what you have to say will literally be turned off, because they'll see you as someone who is only out for yourself. Instead, focus on creating content that provides value to your audience. That means sharing content that will genuinely put a smile on their face that day, make a difference in their lives, encourage them to keep going, or help them see things in a new way. This could be an inspirational quote, a piece of advice, or even industry news — something that shows you have a genuine interest in their success. By offering something of value, you'll keep your followers engaged and, even more importantly, build a sense of community around your brand. Focus on EngagementBefore you get too caught up in promoting your book, the first order of business should be to focus on building an engaged community around your brand. This means learning how to use social media in such a way that people see you as a person who makes a positive difference in their lives. As you can see, this ties in with the first point about starting with value. If you develop the mindset to think about ways you can bless others with everything you do, you will start to draw people to you. Why? Because that's how you genuinely demonstrate the love of Christ through your work.So how can you focus on engagement? Here are a couple of strategies.Invite Feedback & InteractionIn addition to providing value, actively invite your audience to participate in discussion. You could do this by posting questions that allow your audience to share their thoughts on a topic related to what you talk about in your book, but not directly about your book. For example, in the Christian Authors Network, every Wednesday we throw out a writing prompt for our Christian authors to get them thinking about things in different ways. This keeps them in the habit of writing. We know how easy it is to get so caught up in the day-to-day of life and put your writing on the backburner, so this is our way of helping them stay committed to their goals — but it also keeps them engaged with us and with others in the community. Respond Promptly to Comments & MessagesResponding promptly to people's comments and messages establishes you as someone who genuinely cares about your community. It also helps establish you as a thought leader or expert in your field. And it helps you earn the trust and respect of your followers. This is invaluable, because when you have their trust and respect, they will be so much more receptive to the content you put out later down the line. Leverage Visual ContentWe are in a fast-paced digital landscape, and attention spans are shorter than ever. One way to cut through the noise is to leverage visual content — such as images and videos — to capture your audience's attention and hold their interest. It's proven in the stats: words by themselves are not as attention-grabbing. But if you have a really cool picture, or something that gets them to stop scrolling through their feed — even if it's just something that makes them laugh or smile — it's an opportunity to open the door for them to learn more about what you have to say. Or, if you have a short video on a topic they're struggling with, that's a great way for them to literally see you in action, hear your voice, and pick up on your sincerity and passion about this topic. And that can make all the difference! So as you're learning how to use social media to grab people's attention, don't ignore the importance of visuals. Posts that include high-quality visuals are more likely not only to be taken in by the person who sees it initially, but also to be shared. This helps you spread your message to more people, and it also helps you humanize your brand and connect with your followers on an emotional level. Don't Forget the Power of Facebook GroupsWhile learning how to use social media for promotion, you've probably heard people talk about leveraging Facebook groups. And with good reason! But it's important to do this in the right way. This isn't so much about promoting yourself to other Christian authors — this is about connecting with your target audience. So you need to join and participate in a group that your target audience has already joined. By becoming an asset in that group, you can establish yourself as an authority in your field, build relationships with potential readers, and promote your book in a way that feels natural and authentic. Once you have truly connected with the audience and have a good grasp of their needs, you can start your own Facebook group of ideal followers. Not only will you have a platform to connect with readers and potential readers, but this will give you a platform to empower your audience by allowing them to connect with each other as well. So dive into some Facebook groups that have your target audience already in them, and start building those relationships! There are readers waiting for you in those groups. Hold Off on Social Media AdsPaid advertising is a powerful tool for authors who want to reach a wider audience and boost their book sales. However, it is imperative to approach ads strategically to ensure you make a successful investment. Facebook, Instagram, and Google may seem like the go-to platforms, but they may not be the most cost-effective way to reach target readers who are actively searching for books in your niche. So you need to do some homework before you just put money out there and boost the post or set up an ad campaign. You need to understand not just how to use social media ads, but also when and where to use them. First of all, make sure you're buying ads on the right platforms to reach your audience. Try thinking a little bit outside of the box, too, because other platforms like BookBub offer a great return on investment and an engaged audience who are actively seeking books in your preferred genre. Think about this way: Facebook, Instagram, and Google are much more generic. These are platforms where people are looking at funny pictures and catching up on what's going on with their friends and family. They're not necessarily on the platform to learn about books. But BookBub is a platform specifically for book lovers. Investing in the right platform and creating an effective ad campaign can make the difference in maximizing your return on investment and reaching more readers. So hold off on ads, and focus on learning how to use social media organically first, like building your community, joining Facebook groups, and putting visual content out there. Use this as an opportunity to really learn what resonates with your readers and maximize your opportunities. Then determine if social media is your best platform for ads, or if you need to look elsewhere.Value FirstSocial media can be a powerful tool for driving book sales. But you need to understand how to use social media in the right way — and how not to use it. By offering value, focusing on engagement, leveraging visual content, and tapping into the power of Facebook groups, you can create buzz around your book without turning off your followers. Remember, social media should be a two-way conversation, not a one-way sales pitch. Keep your followers at the center of your strategy, and you'll be well on your way to building a successful brand that resonates with your target audience. Now, this may sound like a lot of work. And if that's how you're feeling, you're not alone. Social media is powerful, but it can be very time-consuming, especially if you are a team of one. So if you're looking to get farther faster, there is another way. Nate Hambrick, our friend from selfpublishing.com, is the perfect person for you to connect with.

In this episode, you'll also hear:Why you need a solid marketing plan if you want to reach people with your book's message5 steps to build a marketing plan that works — and that aligns with your goals for your bookHow to tailor your strategy to reach the right audience with the right messageFree training: 3 steps to keep your book at #1 on AmazonWhy Isn't My Book Selling?Emily had been dreaming of becoming an author for as long as she could remember. As a young girl, she would get lost in stories about dragons and princesses, but now it was time for her to create her own story. After countless hours at her computer typing away, Emily's book was finally finished! She couldn't wait to show the world what she had created. She submitted it to a publisher, who accepted it with enthusiasm. They predicted that Emily's book would be a huge success, so the days leading up to its release were filled with excitement and enthusiasm. On release day, Emily eagerly checked her sales figures… but only a few copies had sold. What happened to the hundreds of sales? While Emily had spent months writing a good story, she didn't spend any time planning how to get people interested in reading it. And without word-of-mouth or advertising campaigns behind the project, no one knew about the book. So no one bought it. It was a hard lesson learned for Emily. Having great content is important, but having a solid marketing plan is equally critical if you want your work to reach people and transform lives.No Strategy, No SalesLike Emily, you have put everything into your book project. You've spent so many late nights writing and made countless revisions and edits. But if you don't have a strategy for promoting and selling your book, you won't be able to reach your target audience or make any money from sales. When it comes to selling books, one of the most important elements is making sure that potential readers know about the book. Without a solid marketing plan in place, no one is aware of your book or its contents. That means even if you've written something truly remarkable, it won't get the recognition or the attention that it deserves. Think of a marketing plan as the foundation on which your success is built. 5 Tips for a Solid Marketing PlanNot sure how to put together a solid marketing plan? Don't worry, we've got you covered! Here are five tips to get you started: Define your audience. Who are you truly trying to reach with your books? What age group and gender are they? What interests do they have? Once you have a good understanding of who your target audience is, you will be able to better tailor your marketing efforts to reach them. Research your competition. Once you know who your target audience is, the next step is to understand the other authors who are writing books that appeal to this audience. What marketing strategies are they using? By understanding what your competition is doing, you can develop a solid marketing plan that will help you stand out from the crowd. Set realistic goals. After you define your target audience and research your competition, you need smart goals for your marketing plan. How many books do you want to sell? How much money do you want to make? How hard are you willing to work to make it happen? And how much money are you willing to invest in marketing? Once you've set some goals, you can begin developing a plan of action to reach them. Choose your marketing strategies. There are a number of different marketing strategies that you can use to reach your target audience. These include using social media, running ads, doing guest interviews, and speaking at events. You don't necessarily have to do all of these things — instead, choose the strategies that will work best for you and your book. Implement and monitor your plan. Once you've developed a solid marketing plan, it's time to put it into action and monitor its effectiveness. This isn't a “set it and forget it” type of thing. You have to monitor your marketing efforts to see how they're working. Try different strategies and see what works best for you. And make sure to track your sales and progress so you can adjust your plan as needed. Creating a solid marketing plan is vital for any Christian author who wants their work to impact as many people as possible. It requires dedication, research, and a strategy that's tailored specifically towards reaching the right readers with the right message. If done correctly, however, this effort will pay off tenfold (and more!) when eyes — and more importantly, hearts — are exposed to your work. So get to work creating your marketing plan today!How to Stand Out on AmazonAs an independent author, the challenge is that there are so many books out there for people to choose from. So, even with a solid marketing plan, how do you make sure your book stands out and sells well? Our friend Nate from selfpublishing.com has created a free training guide that walks you through the three steps to keeping your book #1 on Amazon. With these easy-to-follow instructions, you'll be able to generate more sales and start building a loyal reader base. Imagine having repeat buyers who love your work! If that's what you want, now is the time to take action. Don't fall behind when it comes to marketing your masterpiece — learn how you can break through with this free training, and get started mastering the skills of successful authorship. BIO:My name is Tamara "Coach Tam" Jackson and I am a published author, Facebook© Certified Digital Marketer, host of the Top 100 Publishing Secrets podcast, and founder of The Christian Authors Network (C.A.N.)

May is the month that begins to tease summer, and for those who can't get enough of them, it also signals the start of the Italian American Feast season! In this week's episode, our very own P.O.B. talks about the feast that he lovingly resurrected 11 years ago: The Feast of Madonna del Sacro Monte in Clifton, N.J. To tell the story of this feast, he has invited on several friends: Valerie Cappello, Nick Fedeli, Fran Parisi, and Anthony “Tony Mangia” Scillia, all of whom have in some way lent themselves to his mission to bring this ancient Cilentano celebration back to life. Our guests share how reviving a feast isn't a one-person job but the job of an entire group dedicated to preserving Italian American heritage in one of its most unique manifestations and what drew each of them into this devotion.  We talk about how Italian American feasts are being revived around the country and what our listeners can do if they, too, want to restore one of their own. We also discuss the fine line organizers must walk between recreation and modernization and what roles others in our community can play in making the feast a reborn reality. Join us as we kick off feast season and share the immense passion of this devoted group in this week's inspiring episode! If you would like to donate to the Feast of Madonna del Sacro Monte, donations are greatly appreciated and accepted at this website.

On tonight's @dGenNightShift powered by @Mintify:

In this episode, you'll also hear:The big question you need to ask yourself before launching your bookHow the answer to this question should inform all of your decision-making moving forward6 reasons you might be seeing low book sales How to keep your book at #1 on AmazonAsk Yourself WhyBefore you go down the road of a relaunch, there is one big question you need to answer: “Why isn't my book selling?” Asking this question first can help you make better decisions about how to best move forward with your book.Here are three reasons it's important that you ask this question first:It's an opportunity for self-reflection. Asking yourself why you have low book sales allows you to be honest with yourself and identify any problems with your book's content or presentation that may have prevented it from resonating with readers. Self-reflection can be difficult, but it is necessary if you want to make improvements and ensure that your next attempt at releasing a book is more successful than the last. You can learn from your mistakes and apply those lessons moving forward. Learning from mistakes doesn't just mean identifying what went wrong — it also means figuring out how to do things better in the future. Sometimes you have to take a step back before you can move forward. So taking the time to reflect on what you could have done differently and how you can apply those changes — not just for a relaunch, but for all your future projects as well — is time well spent. It helps inform decisions. If you're considering relaunching or rebranding, keep in mind that these should not be done lightly. They require careful consideration of potential outcomes before you take action. When you ask why you have low book sales first, you're more likely to make informed decisions that are in line with the goals of your book and your readers.Instead of jumping straight into the relaunch, take some time for self-reflection and really think about why you have low book sales (or why your book isn't selling at all). Then you'll be better equipped to fix the problem moving forward. 6 Reasons for Low Book SalesHere's the thing: there can be many reasons your book isn't selling well. So let's look at a few of the things that can cause low book sales. 1. You didn't have a marketing plan in place when you launched your book. A marketing plan should include everything from how you will reach potential readers to what type of content you will use to promote your book. Failing to create a plan before launch means missing out on key opportunities to get your message out there and attract readers. That's important, because readers don't just show up — you have to attract them. If you have low book sales, it could be because you didn't have a plan to market it effectively.2. You failed to create buzz around your book before launch day. You can't just spring your book on people and expect them to jump into action. Instead, you need to ensure they know about your book before they even think about buying it. To accomplish that, you need to create buzz to engage potential readers. This could look like posting on social media, setting up an email list, or other ways of getting people's attention. After all, if no one knows about your book or its launch, how are they going to buy it?3. You haven't effectively connected with influencers who can help spread the word about your book. The great thing about influencers (think podcasters, bloggers, and YouTubers in the industry) is that they have already done the work to build massive followings who trust their recommendations. That means connecting with these influencers can help put your work in front of thousands or even millions of readers at once. But you have to make the connections first. Otherwise, you won't have as many chances to reach a wider audience and increase book sales.4. You didn't have a proper launch strategy in place for release day. Your book launch can make all the difference between success and failure. But you've got to have an organized plan if you want to maximize sales from day one onward. So many Christian authors end up with low book sales because they spent all their time on writing, editing, and all of these things, and then didn't invest the time to actually put together an organized launch. 5. Your pricing strategy wasn't effective. Pricing too high or too low can result in low book sales figures overall. Finding the “sweet spot” where pricing works best for both buyers and sellers is essential for success in any market — and it's especially important when it comes to books. 6. You didn't have enough reviews. Reviews are invaluable for effective marketing strategies, because they provide proof that someone else has already enjoyed reading your work and found it worthwhile enough to leave a review. If there aren't a lot of reviews, it implies the opposite: that not a lot of people have read the book or found it worthy of a review. Often, that's not really the case, but the reality is that getting reviews requires a little hustle. You have to follow up to get people to do it. But when people leave honest reviews on Amazon or Goodreads, it can make all the difference in generating new sales.Keep Your Book at #1Keep in mind that these are just some of the factors that can cause low book sales. There are other factors that can keep you from seeing the sales you hope for, too. So taking the time to really analyze why your book isn't doing well is essential if you want a chance of successfully relaunching it later down the line. Don't just jump into this. Take the time to evaluate what might be going wrong before making any drastic changes or decisions. That said, if you've been struggling with low book sales, know that you are not alone. Many authors don't know the keys to optimizing their book sales. But you CAN learn! The right techniques can be the game-changer you need to boost your ranking on Amazon and bring in new readers. Imagine having a best-selling book that attracts lots of visitors and establishes you as an expert in your field!

You are made up of and surrounded by quantum energy, but electromagnetic fields in your car, phone, and even your microwave are powerful to impact your energetic and physical systems. Today's guest has created a technology that has the potential to neutralize harmful frequencies, effectively reducing exposure. Philipp Samor Von Holtzendorff-Fehling founded Leela Quantum Tech, where he developed clothing and products that can harmonize electromagnetic fields. He left the corporate world to train as an energetic healer for twenty years. At Leela, he combines divine healing power with scientific quantum research to create products that can heal people, animals, and the earth. In today's convenience culture, it would be impossible to eradicate EMFs, so Phillip decided to use Leela Tech to create products that could mitigate the risks associated with your favorite technologies. Today he explains how the silver fabric in the Leela Clothing can protect your vital organs from overexposure to harmful frequencies.  The uses for this technology are infinite, and Phillip predicts humanity is heading toward a new revival of scientific and spiritual discovery as research continues to uncover proof of quantum energy. The future holds exciting possibilities for this revolutionary technology. Join us for this episode of Reset, Renew, Revive as we discuss the practical and possible applications of Leela Quantum Technology.   KEY TAKEAWAYS [1:00] Shifting into a conscious connection to the divine  [4:45] Founding Leela Quantum Tech [8:00] What are Electro-Magnetic Fields [13:00] Protecting yourself daily with Leela Tech [15:45]The infinite application of quantum technology  [18:45] How the Quantum Bloc is made  [22:00] What to expect in the future   WHERE TO FIND OUR GUEST LeelaQ.com   MEMORABLE QUOTES “When you really awaken to your own inner nature then that also means you take on a lot of responsibility for what happens in your life, but it also means you can and should only do what really comes from your heart, and you need to be that.”  [3:36] -Philipp Samor Von Holtzendorff-Fehling “The tech that we developed is a tech that can imprint pure quantum energy into any object, and it radiates that out also because it has a very, very concentrated quantum energy field or space inside, and if you're in the radius of that, it harmonized these potentially harmful frequencies.”  [14:19] -Philipp Samor Von Holtzendorff-Fehling   To learn more about me and to stay connected, click on the links below: Instagram: @drbindiyamd Website: drbindiyamd.com

Pastor Brad Franklin talks about reviving God's word in community. Watch this episode on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/FGyP7uPpj1A Sermon Notes: Are you in need of a blessing? Yes. Every one of us are in need of a blessing. If you are in need of an everyday blessing, then making the Bible your constant companion by reading, studying and meditating on scripture every day will be a blessing that will continue to bless you beyond the minute, hour and day.  You may be asking this question:Where do I start? I am buried spiritually.The first four books of the new testament – the gospels.  Judges 15: 1919 So God split the hollow place that is in Lehi, and water came out, and he drank; and his spirit returned, and he revived. Therefore he called its name En Hakkore, which is in Lehi to this day.Genesis 45: 25-28 25 Then they went up out of Egypt, and came to the land of Canaan to Jacob their father.  26 And they told him, saying, “Joseph is still alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt.” And Jacob's heart stood still, because he did not believe them. 27 But when they told him all the words which Joseph had said to them, and when he saw the carts which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived.  28 Then Israel said, “It is enough. Joseph my son is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.” Psalm 80: 17-19 17 Let Your hand be upon the man of Your right hand, Upon the son of man whom You made strong for Yourself. 18 Then we will not turn back from You; Revive us, and we will call upon Your name. 19 Restore us, O Lord God of hosts; Cause Your face to shine, And we shall be saved! For your spiritual growth: Do you feel spiritually faint? Do you crave more out of life, more out of your relationship with God?  Are you dissatisfied with society's definition of truth? How desperate are you to grow closer to God?  Are you ready to surrender? Are you in need of a blessing that will continue to bless your life?

In this episode, you'll also hear:The problem with waiting and wondering why God isn't making our dreams come trueWhy it's so tempting to embrace such limiting beliefsBiblical examples of faith and action working hand-in-hand3 deliberate steps you can take to help your book reach its full potentialFREE training on how to keep your book at #1 on Amazon and attract new readers every dayReleasing Limiting Beliefs“Why would God give me this amazing gift, burden me with the desire to write, and inspire so many ideas, if He didn't want me to use this all for His glory?” That was the question posed by a faithful member of the Christian Authors Network community who was on the verge of giving up. They were tired from years of fighting for their book to be noticed, and they're not alone. There are hundreds of Christian authors who also feel this way!But there's a big problem with this line of thinking. It's like saying, “Well, if God wants this book to be successful, why isn't He making it happen?” No, you may never actually say those words to God, but are you saying that with your actions — or inactions? This line of thinking suggests that success solely depends on divine intervention. In other words, it's all on God, and we don't have a part in making the gifts and the talents He's given us have an impact. All too often, believing that God's will should manifest in the form of effortless success is a huge hindrance to reaching our full potential. So if we are going to get our message out there, we have to release this limiting belief once and for all. Taking Responsibility for Your SuccessBefore we get to the what and the how, let's talk about why. Why do we embrace this line of thinking? For many, it's simply because this limiting belief allows us to abdicate responsibility for our own actions and outcomes. This dream of reaching the world with our God-given message is not easy. So in order to be successful, you'll have to put in the work, learn new things, release old ways of thinking, and literally transform into a different person. After all, if what you currently have and what you're currently doing was enough, you would already be getting the results you're looking for. Being successful will require a push. But pushing is uncomfortable, and most of us want to hold on to our comfort. It's comforting to think that everything is already predestined, and we don't have a part in the process, isn't it?But the reality is this. We have an opportunity to hone our craft and learn from our failures. And while God does have a plan for each and every one of us, He also gives every one of us free will and expects us to take action to reach our goals. Think about it: the Bible is full of examples of people who had to use their own talents and strengths combined with faith for God's plan to come true for them. Look at Joseph. His hard work ensured he rose from being a slave in Egypt to becoming Pharaoh's right hand man so he could save his people from famine. Yes, God certainly was at work in his life. But don't miss the fact that Joseph was at work too. Then there's Moses. He spoke confidently before Pharaoh after receiving strength from God, even though he had been an outcast since childhood and had a big stuttering problem. Don't think that it wasn't uncomfortable for Moses to step into this position! But he did it. Both Joseph and Moses had to push past discomfort and use their unique gifts and talents along with their faith in order for God's plan for them — and ultimately, God's plan for God's people — to come true. It's hard work combined with faith that creates extraordinary results. 3 Deliberate Steps to Help Your Book Reach Its PotentialAs Christian authors, we often cling to the belief that if our book is meant to be successful, God will make it happen. But this limiting belief ignores the fact that all great stories need both a divine and a human touch. If you want your book to reach its full potential in the marketplace, you need to take deliberate steps yourself. Here's how to do it. 1. Take Responsibility for Your Success.You need to understand that you are an active participant in the process of bringing your book into the world. You can't just sit back and wait for God to make it happen — you must partner with Him actively to create success. This means writing great content, creating a marketing plan, putting together launch teams, and getting feedback from trusted readers. And yes, it may mean investing more time and energy than you already have. These are all essential steps in ensuring that your book reaches its full potential. 2. Be Flexible with Your Plans.While God will — and does! — order your steps, success is rarely a straight line. It's often an iterative process where you learn, grow, and create as you go. So don't be afraid to experiment with different strategies or tweak existing ones based on the feedback or results you get. Every failed attempt brings new wisdom and understanding about how best to promote yourself and your book. So keep an open mind, and be willing to adjust your course as necessary. This flexibility helps ensure you remain agile enough to keep up with shifting trends and demands from readers. Remember, this is a marathon, not a sprint. So don't be afraid of what feels like failure. Instead, embrace it as a learning opportunity. 3. Seek Professional Help. It's okay that you don't know all the ins and outs of marketing books online. But there are people who do, and it's wise to reach out to them. If done correctly, your partnership will not only increase your visibility, but also save you time that you can use to focus on creating great content for readers or writing another book. Seeking professional help doesn't mean having less faith. It means taking action and trusting God along the way as he guides you towards success. Combining Faith & Action: FREE TrainingHere's the bottom line: getting your book out there requires a combination of divine intervention and human effort. And this is the case for all books! So don't believe the thought that it's easier for someone else. We all have to go through this journey, and we can't allow these limiting beliefs to hold us back any longer. Take responsibility for your book's success by taking ownership of both the creative and the promotion process. It takes two — faith AND action — to make this happen. So don't just sit there wishing! Get up, and go make your God-given dreams a reality. If you're tired of struggling to market your books and get them in front of the right readers, and you're looking for a trusted expert who can help you become successful online, then Nate Hambrick, our partner from self publishing.com, is the perfect person.

It's Episode 244, and it's the first half of the rematch everyone has been waiting for: Leg 1 of the Semifinals of the 2023 CONCACAF Champions League tilt between LAFC and the Philadelphia Union. Thanks to a pair of superb saves by John McCarthy, LAFC and Philly left the first half level. A Kellyn Acosta handball gifted a PK to the Union with just 4 minutes left in regulation, and Daniel Gazdag hammered it home to give the hosts a late lead. However, Kellyn would go from goat to hero, getting on the end of a Timothy Tillman cross even as the ball dipped behind him. Despite a touch from Andre Blake, the visitors leveled the match and broke the hearts of the Philly fans. LAFC heads home to BMO with all kinds of options available to them as they look to advance to the CCL Finals for the second time. Also on this episode, Filly offends the good people of Pigs Knuckle, Arkansas, rendering Scarf utterly speechless. Enjoy Episode 244!

Today on Reset, Renew, Revive, Kevin Ellis shares how you can protect your bones today so you don't live with Osteoporosis tomorrow. He is known as the Bone Coach. His practice helps thousands of patients rebuild stronger bones with diet, exercise, and a conscious lifestyle. In a disease that usually targets older women, Kevin was an anomaly. He was diagnosed with osteoporosis when he was only thirty years old after Celiac disease ravaged his bone mineral stores. Since then, he has dedicated himself to the education and application of holistic treatments for osteoporosis and osteopenia.  Your bones need more than calcium. There are essential vitamins that your body needs to allocate minerals to their proper place in the body. Kevin breaks down what vitamins are necessary for the optimal absorption of minerals in your bones. Diet and nutrition play a huge part in bone protection, and Kevin outlines his favorite foods for bioavailable calcium and the minerals necessary for good bone quality.  We discuss the flaws in bone density testing, and why you should be aware of osteoporosis medications. Many medications are only meant as temporary relief and can cause bone fractures if used for longer periods of time. No matter what you choose to do for your bones, Kevin details exercises that can support you in all stages of bone health. Join us as we uncover the secret to preventative and restorative bone health.  KEY TAKEAWAYS [1:00] How Kevin Became the Bone Coach [5:00] Risk factors for osteoporosis and osteopenia  [8:00] Weight-bearing exercise [11:30] The risks of medications  [14:00] Bone density and bone quality  [19:00] Individualized diet for strong bones  [24:00] Alternative sources of bioavailable calcium  [27:00] Why you need more than calcium  [31:00] Get clear on your goals   WHERE TO FIND OUR GUEST: BoneCoach.com StrongerBonesMasterclass.com Instagram : @bonecoachkevin Youtube: @bonecoach   MEMORABLE QUOTES “There's bone density which is the actual mineral content of your bone, and then there's bone quality, this is the structural integrity. The microarchitecture, is how that bone is organized. Those two things combine to create bone strength.”  [15:45] - Kevin Ellis  “Yes, calcium is important. It is the primary mineral constituent of your bones, but you need other minerals and nutrients for that to go where it needs to go in your body.” [25:31] -Kevin Ellis   To learn more about me and to stay connected, click on the links below: Instagram: @drbindiyamd Website: drbindiyamd.com

‘Can we bring back extinct species?' wonders listener Mikko Campbell. Well, Professor Fry is pretty excited by the prospect of woolly mammoths roaming the Siberian tundra once more. And everyone is impressed with the science that might make it happen. But Dr Rutherford comes out STRONGLY against the whole thing. Can our expert guests win him over? Dr Helen Pilcher shares the tale of Celia the lonely mountain goat, and makes the case for cloning to help protect species at risk of extinction. Professor Beth Shapiro sets out how biotech company ‘Colossal' plans to engineer Asian elephants' DNA to make a new group of mammoth-like creatures. And we hear how genetic technologies are being used in conservation efforts around the world. BUT WHAT ABOUT T-REXES? Not gonna happen. Sorry.

If you are expecting one conversation to convert your next client, you might need to think again. Today we are going to talk about what it takes to keep the referrals coming.Three Things You'll Learn in This EpisodeHow to build relationships with clients.Why you aren't converting leads.How you can bring in more clients.ResourceCheck Out SheridanStReal Estate Marketing DudeThe Listing Advocate (Earn more listings!)REMD on YouTubeREMD on InstagramTranscript:Speaker 1 0:00  So how do you track new business? You constantly don't have to chase it. Hi, I'm Mike Cuevas the real estate marketing division, this podcast is all about building a strong personal brand people have come to know, like trust and most importantly, refer. But remember, it is not their job to remember what you do for a living. It's your job to remind them. Let's get startedSpeaker 1 0:31  What's up ladies and gentlemen, welcome another episode of the real estate marketing dude, podcast, I'm sure we're gonna chat about today's we're gonna get right in down and dirty with lead generation, specifically, digital online, social media, Google Tiktok, Facebook, lead generation, we're gonna go through basically the ins and outs of it, we have a guest today that this is what he does, I'm gonna dissect his funnel live right now with you guys and sort of show you behind the scenes of what really goes on. But here's the overall message I want you to get. I just met him 20 minutes ago, so fucking, I have no idea what he's gonna talk about. But I'm almost positive, we're gonna agree on this. Nobody converts on the first damn touch, you're not going to get her in bed, the first time you see her, you're going to need to build a relationship online build trust build authority, and over time, you might get lucky. So what I'm getting at today is that this is not a one touch thing. And there's a reason why some teams do very, very well at lead generation is because they have everything crinkled on all cylinders. And these one stop shop people, it's very hard to compete against that in the marketplace because you don't have your auto responder set. You don't have retargeting setup, you don't have this video going to this video and email, text message like there's a lot of shit going on. So we're going to break that down and the confusion of it very simplified today. But the reason why this is titled this way is because you don't get married on a first date, and you're not going to convert the first time you touch somebody, it's gonna be a series of multitude. Now if you do congratulations, we all get lucky once in a while. But it's nothing that we hang our head on or count on each and every night. We go out here and I'm saying, All right, so without further ado, we're gonna go out and introduce our guests. This guy's a fucking Colombian. You guys might not know this, but I am a Colombian 50% I always claimed my Mexican side. But I'm actually all Latino, 5050 Colombian and Mexican and actually finally met one of the other one other Colombians that I've met in a long time in the space, especially in the real estate. And so I'm excited to have you here. Without further ado, who's going to introduce our guest, Mr. Cody. Hey, what's up, dude?Speaker 2 2:28  Man, I really excited I love that intro. You know, I we definitely share that same ethos to, to business to lead generation and marketing. And just super excited. Yeah, with you today.Speaker 1 2:39  You know what people used to always tell me, Mike, you're a white Mexican. And now I know why it's because it comes from my Colombian side. And Cody is as white as I am guys. But we're both Latinos. So it's funny thatSpeaker 2 2:49  I see I'm actually not, I gotta set this record straight. I'm actually not Latino at all. I thought you're Colombia. No, I'm from I'm from I'm Canadian. We? I, yeah. I have Italian and I have Italian in me and I have a little bit of English, but I'm not Colombian. I've just spent the last almost a year now traveling through Latin America. My entire team is a Latin American, and just fell in love with Latin America.Speaker 1 3:19  Awesome. Well, most Colombians are very light skinned. Okay. Excuse me. Anyways, let's get into the show. Cody. Once you tell everyone a little bit about who you are your background. Before I start grilling year,Speaker 2 3:33  I will give you the high level SparkNotes version of what how I got here today, spent 10 years in telecom, managing sales teams and just with a passion to help people. And I transitioned out of telecom sales management, probably in 2018. Now so about five years ago, I started my agency originally an agency was called studio b2b Oh, we worked with pretty much any lead gen based business. And about a year and a half, two years ago, we kind of shifted gears and went all in on helping real estate agents and teams really build their funnel, fill their funnel, nurture their leads for life and book more in person meetings, more phone appointments, more live transfers, where our team is spread out all across North America all across the world, really. We're in Latin America, we service the US and the Canadian market, really helping them to do that. I have a business partner in the company. His name is Sharon Srivatsa. He joined me about a year and a about a year ago now. And your business partner motherfucker. There you go. Sean Serrata. Yeah, really good friend of mine, you know as a partner now and we've taken a lot of his IP and kind of repackaged it put it into our system and just on a mission to help more and more and more real estate agents do really cool thing. So I see Shawn all the time I gotSpeaker 1 4:53  around quite a bit. There's a when he until he went to real and then everything sort of changed out a little bit and that's another story in itself. However, let's keep going on the show anyways. So I want to know what the hell, how does this thing work? Okay? You guys obviously have a system in place. And let's just start a start from the beginning of what you really need to really run a digital marketing funnel, right? Let's just get down to the nitty gritty, let's get and like, what do I need to have going for? So I want to take this through, what do I need to have going on? And then we'll sort of dissect each one. So everyone could sort of follow very easily through audio here. Yeah.Speaker 2 5:31  If you like, for me, I have a fundamental belief that all conversion happens in conversation. And so like, it's like your, your funnel needs to create conversations, and how do you do that, like, there's so many different ways to create digital marketing funnels. I think that a lot of people that are starting out if like, I'm gonna, I'm gonna wager to guesstimate that a lot of people probably don't have a Ryan serhant, or a mike Gerard brand. So there are assurance robots of brands, so they're going to need to get really creative with an offer. I have a fundamental belief that no amount of marketing fixed should he offer, like, it's just, it's not going to happen, like, so setting yourself apart, like, there are different ways you do that. So you know, having an irresistible offer will get people to take action, where the risk of somebody moving forward and giving you their information will outweigh, like the benefit rather, will outweigh the risk of moving forward. So the first focus is like really dialing in a who you want to reach, like your messaging, be your targeting, like, you know, what are the demographics, the psychographics of the actual end consumer, and then putting an irresistible offer in front of them, that makes it a no brainer for them to essentially click that button, give you their information. And, and a lot of people struggle with that, because they're like, Okay, I'm gonna, I'm going to click the Boost Post Button on Facebook, or I'm going to, I just want to get my listing in front of as many people as possible, but it's like, the currency really comes into how many conversations can you create, like, if it's if it's text conversations I need, I need phone numbers. If it's if it's messenger, I need I need to get people to message me in Messenger to have those conversations where, you know, Tron talks about this all the time around, like, you know, all of the money is made in the DMS, especially on social. So if you really want to create longevity in your business, there's one two things that you need to happen either A, you need to get them into the into the DMS and you'd have a conversation there, or B, you need to get them into a CRM, and you need to call them or text them. So that's really kind of like the start of the funnel. Obviously, there's key elements towards doing that. But an irresistible offer and a form and a form capture is, in my opinion, the best place to start.Speaker 1 7:35  So let's stop right there. Folks, you guys are a fucking commodity. I mean, you guys are offering exact same thing. 99% of you can list your house, put on the MLS and open up a couple open houses, we're gonna do some photos, and I might even do a video and we're just gonna wait and pray for a buyer to come. That's not what gets you hired like you're leaving your real estate license does not. It legally gives you the right to collect money, but it's not the reason why people hire you. People hire you because of what the fuck you could do with it at the end of the day. And you're right on the irresistible offer. So if you guys been following our show, we launched a thing called owner advocate, which is just a multiple selling solutions. We have six different ways that a seller can sell their house cash offer sale leaseback bridge loan fix homeless program, regular listing, foreclosure short sale, and they could share, they could sell a portion of their house. Now 90% of the people who come in through that funnel end up just listing, but it's because we have an offer that's different than everybody else. And when everybody he's 100%, right? If you're gonna go out there and say, Hey, I'm a real estate agent, I'm sorry, no one gives a crap. If you're gonna go out there and say, Hey, I'm a real estate agent do something a little bit differently. Here's what I'm doing great. You might have a little bit of my attention. But if without an offer just being a real estate agent, would you agree that if you're just a real estate agent, just go out there and just run it as a spec? Hey, look, I'm gonna I'm a real estate agent. I've been here for 20 years, you're gonna die and burned so fair?Speaker 2 8:52  Well, not only is it fair? No. Is it fair? It's like, I have conversations with agents every day. My sales team has conversations with agents every day, like agents like I like this market is is really interesting because we are 100% in a skills based market. And that that goes into sales and it goes into marketing. The interesting thing about the skills based market is the amount of conversations I've had with people that said they did 15 transactions last year that haven't even sold a home yet this year is flabbergasting. Yeah, it's crazy. It's crazy the amount of conversations I'm having I had a conversation with somebody who got into the business in 2009 We're now 2023 They haven't sold the home yet this year like like we're in q2 and a large portion we got spoiled we got lazy we got small we got lazy we didn't build our pipeline we don't have we don't have now a buyers and later buyers we don't have now sellers and later sellers. And we're you know a lot of agents are struggling now. So yeah, like you know, you mentioned at the beginning of the podcast around like the first date conversation. It's like, I just like I have a fundamental belief just take a meeting with everyone. Like if your calendar is not full with at least today. three meetings a day meeting potential buyers and sellers. Like you're just you're not going to win in this market. Like it's just not it's not possible,Speaker 1 10:06  you got to be doing 10 to 15%. The people you guys converse with are moving in next 12 months, but 100% of them have referral for you. So if you're just always having conversations, you're just bound. And this is how an agent traditionally works referral market, right? You're just sitting there just be Johnny everywhere, right call and because babies and shake hands, well, when you're doing it online, it's no differently, but you're just having conversations with strangers through things like automation and text bots, etc, etc. And it's the conversations that lead to the trust. Now, the other option is you could have a big mega brand, right? You could be the Josh Altman. And like you think Josh Altman as a listing presentation, Fuck no, he doesn't. He just shows up. And he's so damn confident he's got a television show what he says goes, that's called a brand. Most real estate agents don't have the brand and go with it, because you can create great content to create content. I've done over 5000 videos for real estate agents in the last few years. And I can tell you firsthand that most of them won't last more than six months doing it because they don't understand the power of building the brand long term. And sometimes it takes six months to build that brim. Chevron's a good example. Chevron came out of fucking nowhere a few years ago, and now he's like a local celebrity in the real estate industry. But it's his content and how he and how he presents that people fall in love with. It's not the what, a lot of people say the same thing. It's how he does it, that built his brand, right? So you guys, each and every one of you have an individual and that's like, great. Like, there's no reason you can't do the same thing. But it all starts by what we just started talking about. You have to have something you do differently. What the hell is the difference? I asked Realtors this whole time? What's the difference between especially when I get them on a branding call? Hey, what's the difference between you and every other agent? 99.9% of the time the question the answer is, I'm going to take care of my clients. I really look out for their best interest and I'm like, No shit, fuck Sherlock. That's a fiduciary duty, that's what you have to do. And that's assume no one's going to hire you because they think you're going to take them over, they hire you because they think you're going to help them. That's not a sale that's not USP. Alright, let's keep going reach targeting. I love the offer. What type of you give me a couple examples? What type of offer desexing right now online?Speaker 2 12:07  Yeah, right now, we have a partnership with a company called revive on the seller side, where they essentially $0 down all renovations, they do all the work, pay on closing, increase the value of your home where it's no longer like find out what your home is worth in the market. It's like an actual offer. I started working with a bunch of flooring companies in the beginning and it was so easy to get the flooring company into the home. Because they had offers they had zero credit offers. So it's like, you know, leaning into the credit offers is really good, because it's different than what everyone else is doing in the market. And like a lot of people have that in their arsenal, like I know, kW and compass, they have an arsenal, but they're just horrible at market it. They're Yeah, they're horrible marketing. tons of companies are just terrible at marketing their offers on the front end, but it's like the offer that really gets them on the buyer side. You know, like, if you really want to sit down with people and you really want to have more conversations, there's one or two ways to do it. It's either, you know, advertise off market properties, get people to, to, you know, to come through, it's like, you know, get a list of off market properties, you put a list together, that's one way. You know, people want exclusive offers. That's it. That's one way to get people through the funnel. The other option is like right now it's working. What really well, on the buyer side is like your first month mortgage payment. So I'm gonna give you an example of first month mortgage payment. So we have a client, who in his market he wants to be really well known for as a philanthropist. Like he is like, he has a philanthropy mindset. So when we were we wereSpeaker 1 13:38  closing, does it give back a portion of percentage every closing?Speaker 2 13:41  Yep. So yeah, he does first month mortgage payment on us. So we like we gives back to the buyer. So the buyer has to donate a portion of the of the buyer credit back to a charity of their choice, boom, love it. So he's getting he's picking up philanthropist mindset people from the beginning of people who have the mindset of wanting to give back but that is an example of a USP mixed with an irresistible offer. SoSpeaker 1 14:06  it's just say no to him, he could charge that dude can charge 7% Compared to your 5% and he's gonna get fucking hired because people have an emotional connection with him and the one that's going to hire him and as somebody that had a personal situation with the exact charity that he's donating back to it could be a death in the family a sickness in the family or something like that. We have a lot of philanthropists clients, every single one of them crush they're all doing million plus. And it's like why it's because you've created an emotional connection USP that no one can say no toSpeaker 2 14:34  exactly. Love it. It makes a massive difference and the conversations are amazing.Speaker 1 14:40  But listen, what are you seeing as it's not even like the service you provide us the how it's the person behind it, it's your why right that people have that are hiring so that's excellent. You mentioned something else the Revive isn't national company because anyone can use revive. They're one of our vendors for our programs as well and they offer a lot but they do lead with a fix homeless program on their website because they know that That's the biggest lead gen tool, right? If you could tell someone how to flip their own house, like, come on, you have my attention. Right?Speaker 2 15:07  It's a no brainer. Like no brainer, it's, it's a no brainer, like have it in your arsenal, use it as one of your tools to advertise advertising on the front end. And it's just a matter of getting your ISA to call with that specific offer. Hey, you know, Tom, at one point in time, we saw that you requested some information around, you know, potentially doing $0 down on renovations, Does that ring a bell, you know, and then the ISA, she's going through the process of like qualifying them and sending them to you. So it's not like it the the offer makes it so much easier for an inside sales agent or appointment setter to, to have those conversations to send you live transfers, and then you just take it over and use your own scripts. And it's it's like, it becomes a no brainer becomes super simple. It's not easy, but it's super simple. Once you implement it,Speaker 1 15:54  I can verify all this, you guys were closing or transferring probably about three or four day. And we're using this exact system to do so. So what he's saying is right on, and anyone can do this isn't like anything like we created, we're just leveraging another company's USP and working with them. Alright, so let's get into the actual ad side where you're running ads that like for this messaging, and let's talk about like the channels first. You mentioned tick tock,Speaker 2 16:19  tick tock through Facebook, Google, YouTube, Instagram, like all the like, kind of the five main social channels. And then kind of like our fundamental belief is like, like I said, like, it's all conversion happens in a conversation, it's like, I need to get them off the platform into a phone call. Because like, like, if I can just get the agent in front of the person to have that conversation. We have specific scripts that we know are working right now like, and you've probably heard sure if you're if you follow us around, you know, schruns like, why don't we sell that gameplan frame? It's literally like we get we get the agent on the phone. And it's like, you know, has anyone taking the time to talk to you about the top three things you need to consider in order when in the market when you are ready to buy or sell the leads? Gonna say no. And you're gonna say why don't we do that? Why don't we sit down for a cup of coffee before the coffee gets cold, I'll walk you through the top three things you need to consider in order to make an informed intelligent decision. And when you are ready to buy that script is crushing it. But from an ADS perspective, it's just, it's getting them off the platform on tick tock like, we do a lot of video content. So the video content we do is very customized where it's like, hey, you know, like, if you're considering selling your home, we will cover all the renovations for you. And you know, you'll pay on closing, we'll help you flip your home. Yeah, so my name is Tom from Seattle. You know, this is my real estate business. And then you throw in a case study to the video where it's like kind of like my my clients, Alex and Alex and in you know, Bethany, they did this, they got this result. If you want more information, click or tap the Learn More button below. And we'll see you on the other side. And then the text message comes through. Hey, is this Alex question mark? Yeah, and they respond to that. And then you hit them back up with like, hey, you know, we saw you got a request for this, this and this. Do mornings afternoons work better in order to chat with you really quickly about this? And sometimes they will answer. Sometimes they won't. We'll try to call them try to live transfer them directly to you or book an appointment of the calendar. SoSpeaker 1 18:19  what do you guys like starting your ads on? Usually a lot of people like you know, finding their potentials. I'm sure your retargeting all those platforms, where are you running? Are you acquiring traffic on all those platforms? First, are you trying? Are you using Facebook, for example, as your primary traffic generator then following everyone around after that'sSpeaker 2 18:36  it, it's a mixture of everything. So like the strategy depending on it depends on the agents. ad budget number one, you know, if it's a small agent, and they're like, Hey, we only have 567 $100 budget. You know, it's really hard to do retargeting with that type of budget, like you can do is that you can't do it, it's just like, you know, like, they generally don't have a top of funnel to begin with. So with the teams that we work with already have a lot of traffic, there's a lot of different ways that you can like kind of speaking to more the seasoned teams now. Like if you're a single agent, you should be filling your funnel, you should be getting as many names, email addresses as you can. So don't listen to this next thing if you are, if you're if you're single agent you just need you need more people in your database. Now if you have a lot of people in your database, there's a bunch of different things you can do like upload the list. Like we have a direct integrate, we use a program called go high level you're probably familiar with it. We have a direct integration to Facebook, where we've seen whenever a lead enters the system, they automatically get added to a custom audience on Facebook and then we retarget them with video testimonials. You know that's that's a there's really six points we look for when we do Facebook retargeting. Number one is the customer list. Number two is all the ever all the interaction that's happened on the Facebook page, all the interaction that's happened on the Instagram page, all the interaction that has potentially happened on the website so website pixel traffic There's two other things that we target based on custom audiences. And we do the same thing with tick tock as well, you run a custom audience on tick tock. And then, you know, a lot of cold traffic. But really the goal is to the other thing that we do, as well as we have a partnership with an insurance agency, where we can get verified homeowner data. So we would essentially buy that data uploaded to Facebook, and then run those ads to verify homeowners. And that, that definitely helps. But we also call those people too, in order to try to, you know, cold call them. But you know, the even if they, they might say no to us on a call, but then they see our ad and they click through and then they go through the sequence again. SoSpeaker 1 20:39  they might see the ad and then they're like, oh, yeah, hey, and then the caller comes in and like, Hey, I'm from blank blank, like, oh, you know what I just saw you saw that ad. But you're hitting you're hitting it from all cylinders.Speaker 2 20:48  Yeah. Do you prospecting all that stuff? Yeah. What do you prefer?Speaker 1 20:54  And so folks, when he's just listing out as he's running an initial ad, and once somebody either clicks on that ad and hits a website, or they view the ad, he's retargeting the view of consumption, or they engage or click or like it, then he's just following them everywhere. And it's not just like, if you find somebody on Facebook that sees your initial ad, and all sudden you start following them on Tik Tok YouTube, they start seeing your display ads and Google and every, you know, publishing site that they're on after a while, and then your callers are calling them on top of it after a while. They're like, Who the fuck is this guy? Totally. You know what I mean?Speaker 2 21:30  It's so interesting. The other day, I was having a conversation with one of our clients, you know, and I helped shift their perspective around like retargeting around conversations, because they're like, Oh, I got this live transfer lead, but the live transfer lead, they said that their family member is an agent. I'm like, well, that's amazing. Yeah, Has anyone taken the time to walk you through the top three things that you need to consider in order to win in the market, when you're ready to buy, you have this person in front of you that I guarantee you that their family member hasn't sat down with them, and had a conversation with them about, you know, the top three things, the interest rates, the inventory, and in the buying process. So this is your opportunity to take that, like, you and I have heard this multiple times, like, and we've seen this in our local markets, like just because like your brother down the street sells homes, it doesn't matter. Like it literally doesn't matter like the the buyer is committed to whoever can get the best deal. We're seeing.Speaker 1 22:23  We're seeing just offering options that. Yeah, I would say I don't know the percentages, but my gut tells me 10 to 15% of people that we get on a call will say something along the lines of Well, yeah, I have a aunt or an uncle or a friend that's going to list it, however common. But when we say hey, but they don't have a lot of these options. Can they help you flip your own house? Can they help you do a bridge? Can they help you do this? And then they're like, Well, I consider that and it just, you know, we still know the fact that we're still getting our foot in the door. It just comes back to our first point here, it's all about offering.Speaker 2 22:59  Totally refer and then and then it's your sales ability. It's your sales skill to have the conversation like yeah, Sean's going really hard on like teaching our clients and teaching the clients we advise on how to do a good listing presentation, like when you walk in the door, don't do the tour, sit down with the client, have a conversation with them, create a game plan, create a strategy, and then do the tour.Speaker 1 23:24  make sense to me. Overall, your initial offering when you're running these ads, you're going straight video are you seeing video versus images work any differently? What's preferred all the above? I know you get a lower click through rate on the videos, but is it more qualified? What do you seen?Speaker 2 23:42  Great question. It depends. It's market dependent number one obviously with tick tock tick tock it's all video with YouTube it's all video. So it's platform and market specific. So there's a lot of testing in the beginning to figure out like what what's actually working what's not working so generally on Facebook or Instagram we'll run dynamic creative and then we'll pull out the creatives that aren't performing you know tick tock generally like you know, it's $20 a day minimum budget so like you know, you're you're running like you can split those videos in the ad level but we generally like to run ad like in the beginning will run will split test the $20 at any ad set level to figure out like Is it is it broad targeting that works so there's a lot of like with these platforms now is like let the AI figure out what what the market is in the market. A large large portion of it like with video like video is difficult because video is very dependent on the how good you are on video and how the video is cut and edited. So like you know it's like if I can't capture the person's attention the first you know three seconds you'll see the drop off rate like even like right now like even the YouTube ad we're running we're you know, we like we run like I personally run ads against the top channels like because it's if you're if you're a marketer, you should be running ads against the top channels on YouTube but like my drop above Raina, my current videos super high, so it's like okay, guys, we gotta go back and we have to rerecord this video, so we're constantly watching for that as well. But, you know, ultimately we're watching for, you know, like, depending it depends on the client, like, generally they want to optimize for Legion. So if they want to optimize for lead gen, because they like the, they're their KPIs how many conversations is going to have, so it's like, okay, we need to, we need to drive as many of these as we possibly can through the front end of the funnel, so that we have the opportunity and the ISA has the opportunity to create those conversations. So you know, it's it's market dependent. It is also very, like, you know, how good you are on video, we have really engaging people on video, and they their videos perform better than their images. So it's just and it also depends on the offer. So it's testing, it's testing, figuring out what's working, what's not working, coming back to the drawing board, and not doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result. So whatSpeaker 1 25:55  if you have somebody in a market that are like, dude, 400 pounds of face made for radio? Can I just use one of your videos? What's the importance of having the person in the brand or the team leader or the person on the videos as opposed to not? Is there any importance to that? In ADS? And this is for any of you guys that are thinking like, Hey, I don't want to be on video, like do you have do they have to be on video, who needs to be the person that's, that's featured?Speaker 2 26:19  If it's a team lead, assign a brand ambassador, we've done that before, where it's like team leads, like I don't want to be on video, okay, find somebody on your team that can be a brand ambassador for you, that's actually good on camera. Tons of flooring companies that work in the past do that where they don't want to be on video, they just signed one other people that are that are energetic charismatic on camera that can eloquently express the brand proposition. So if you have a team, if you're a team lead, then assign somebody on your team. If you're a single agent you're gonna be you're gonna have to eventually get in front of the, in front of the person. And it's like, you're like, I love what the Quran says, you know, he said this recently, like your, your level of your ability to sell is your level of service. So it's like, you know, like, like, I always like to try to help shift the perspective, if you're a single agent, where it's like, in the beginning, I would encourage you to get on camera because like you're eventually going to have to be face to face with that person because you're the only one selling so and there's some people that like, we can like we can run images but obviously like the brand is you like you are the brand like I can't I can't express that enough where it's like you are the brand like you're a real estate salesperson. Like it's salesperson is in your like your sales representative like that it's in your title like you have to get over video whether that is going to therapy, you know, like like you know really working on yourself to figure out like how do I serve at a higher level if you can shift the it from like, I don't want to go on video because I'm not comfortable to me being on video allows me to help more people. Yeah, I mean really what it comes down toSpeaker 1 28:05  I saw you guys like get over it like you're gonna have to it's not really an option anymore. But if you if you don't run away from illicit employment face to face Why the hell you can run away with a video just a 60 inch device.Speaker 2 28:18  I've chatted with people who don't want to do who don't want to do in person meeting so like I've seen it all you've seen goSpeaker 1 28:24  oh yeah oh yeah. Now out of all of the what when we're doing retargeting videos what are the most important have testimonials you have any other type of just testimonials anything else you anything about process? Are you doing like case studies like any What else do we what else is working? Well for retargeting content,Speaker 2 28:44  videos testimonials first and foremost for sure. You know as far as from a retargeting retargeting perspective. Yeah, like just running as low as $1.41 a day, you onstage speaking at an event immediately puts you into a form of credibility. If you've been focused on if you've been featured on your local news television, like that level of authority as well, where if you can rip that video and run it as a Facebook ad, you know that that is another great way like anything that elevates your authority. There's a reason why like, you know, these, these people who've been featured on HGTV are selling sunset, they built their authority where it's like, you know, is that brand recognition that if I can just get in front of my database as much as I possibly can for a buck 41 Like we I do it like I was spoken to NAHREP event and I've been running like $2 a day for the last like year. And people like I just want them to see my face consistent.Speaker 1 29:36  So it is the easiest form of marketing real estate. You just farm your database with content. That'll create a referral based business, but it's not Legion. That's just the marketing side of it.Speaker 2 29:46  That's the branding. That's how it's harder for people to quantify that. And that's why they don't do it. But like once you get it, and once you understand that, like a shrine's brand is so big because of his content or Oh have, you know Tom Ferry is so big because of his content? Like,Speaker 1 30:04  once you quantify it right now for everybody? Yeah, IUnknown Speaker 30:07  would love I would love for you to quantifySpeaker 1 30:09  here's how I because I get that question all the time with creating videos for people wondering, Am I a return on investment? How's it gonna go? So let me just walk you guys through how important this is and why it's the largest return on investment you'll ever make. But you're it's hard to quantify. So most people look at cost, right? And they're like, hey, I want to quads cost cost, what's it going to cost me. So let's just break it down. You could put whatever number you want on this and they'll still pencil but let's just for time sake, put $1,000 A month towards your video content creation. Let's just say $1,000 A month got you content to keep you on shorts, short form, you got long form, but you're constantly creating and you're multi purposing. Now, based upon just your own warm referral market has nothing to do with cold Legion what we're speaking about today, but just off your warm referral marketing, that'd be $12,000 a year, right? $1,000 a month. Now over that time, you're going to generate anywhere between 24 to 100 videos, depending on whether you're doing long form or short form fair. Okay, now, it's all based upon views. So over the 12 months, if you took each of those videos, you video, emailed them off to your database, you posted on all your social profiles, you ran those videos as custom audiences just to your friends and family and your phone, and your cell phone. And past clients, you put all those videos on your YouTube channel, you put all those videos back on your website, 10 to 15% of your views are going to be moving this year, but 100% of them will have a referral for you. In most cases, out of all of that content you create over the course of a year, you have to, on average, sell how much it cost you 12 grand. So how much you have to sell real estate to make 12 grand usually it's about $600,000 in a closed sale. If you can't fucking sell one house, over 12 months, with over 25 to 100 different videos of content creation, you're in the wrong fucking business friends. Done. You have to if you cannot, you could generate a half a referral in three months doing that. You know what I mean? So when people say Oh, I can't create content, it always pencils. It's the largest ROI you'll ever see. And it's the only thing you'll ever control where it becomes what you can't quantify is the one video they saw eight months ago that people that got them to actually really know who the hell you are.Speaker 2 32:24  Yeah. 100 I'm, I'm totally with you. And it's like, something has to click in the brain for people to understand that and like that, your the way you quantify that is really good. Like, you know, from a numbers perspective, when you get it, you really get it like like and you're like I can't I can't like I can't ever go back from this like, like it doesn't like you're 100% right? That is that one person that comes to you and says like, Hey, I ISpeaker 1 32:51  look at this podcast. Yeah, I'm doing since 2014 I've been slow lately, like I haven't been I've been sort of sporadic on my show for the last month I hate doing that. But dude for the first seven years I just fucking showed up every Saturday I never promoted it once but if I didn't have a podcast I can tell you right now I don't have a business most people who schedule an appointment with us they're already feel like they know me before they come on board they're already sold you guys and that's the point of a brand and I'm doing it just the audio to a bunch of strangers I've never fucking met before across the United States you guys only need to do this through the 800 Facebook friends you have this is fucking easy.Unknown Speaker 33:29  Yeah, I'm with you man. reach reach. YouSpeaker 1 33:34  don't need a large audience you just need an engaged one it doesn't matter in real estate you guys make five to 10 grand per ticket per client it's so big to low dollar it's a high dollar ticket. So I'm very hard to generate a very consistent business but to scale you do need to do like lead gen and all the stuff that we're talking about here today anyone could get a can run I believe anyone can make 150 250,000 hours you're really easily just by doing what I just told you create content put in front your database that's it. But if you really want to scale and go larger, you have to do things like what we're talking about today for growth because you're going to grow it but this is awesome dude. Any so beyond the conversations we get the ads going right now how you taking them offline? Walk me through that?Speaker 2 34:18  Yeah, so how do we take them offline we you know, we generally run a lead form like a lead capture form. You know, whether it be like a landing page or whether it be like a built in lead form, depending on the platform, take them off throw them into a drip sequence and love on them until they tell us this buck off like they really really like love on them until they don't want to be loved on anymore and we do tell you we do that through do the week like and the other week is super simple insurance talked about this multiple times and anyone can take this email their database, if they do this, I guarantee if you just do this weekly, you will extract deals from your database. It's like find a property. That is that is a deal in the marketplace and say hey, This week's deal the week is a condo, it's gonna sell fast. You know, no lakes, like you want to force the reply. And you're gonna, it's gonna be very simple, you're gonna say, you know, it's two bedrooms, two bathrooms, it's in a really great neighborhood. And one other thing about the property, the list price is 700,000. If you want more information about the property, just reply back to this email with and let me know or give me a call and I'll be more details. And if you want to get added to our VIP list, send me a message back and then you're gonna get responses, likeSpeaker 1 35:30  once a week. Yeah, that's once a week. It's interesting you say that I remember back in Oh, seven weird, we're crushing on. I look at all this stuff. In hindsight thing of all the mistakes I made when I was so mature back in when I was like 27, crushing it. And one of them was we had it was similar to what you're saying here. And we were doing all short sales. I didn't realize at the time, the power of building a buyer's list or any of this stuff, but I would have literally like 10 to 30 people contacted me a month because we're doing 20 to 30 short sales a month and I had the best deals in the market would cherry pick the ones we want. It was really easy. But because we control the inventory, yes, you're right. We just started putting those out on Facebook at that time not even thinking about it. And yeah, my agents ever want to deal the week it's like hey, you don't buy in this market. You gotta buy I got the best deals, that branding and that positioning fucking did great dude.Speaker 2 36:19  Exclusivity like, you know, people want like, whether they're a million dollar buyer or a $5 million buyer $300,000 buyer, everyone wants a deal. Yeah. No one wants to overpay for something. So it's like it's the positioning like getting them off the platform and then into do the week, you know, loving on them with market updates, like actually knowing your market. Go figure is a is IT asset like like, what are the what are the deals that were a contract, if you buy a home for 700,000, and you put 20% down with the monthly mortgage payment, you know how many homes sold in the market, you just send out weekly, no, and send an ASHA weekly, like like am I do their monthly market update newsletter, but they're not sending a weekly, you quickly become the the resident expert, where it's like I'm tracking this every single week, here's the market update, send it weekly commit to it, there's 52 emails a year, just in market updates. The third one is like just tell a story like like we get them off the platform and they tell a story about a client is one and you we do that on the front end. And then we also do it on the back end as well. Like where it's like there's no greater proof than the proof that you've created for your clients. You know, we use this program with revive this client, we listed their home at you know, 1.7 and sold for 2.3. Here's how we did it. This is our three step process. If you want more information on how we can do this for your home, send me an email back with the word word. And I'll reach out next step. So it's like it's like, get them off the platform. Because like, our big thing is like, I want to own as much data as I possibly can. Like as an as an agency, like data is the you there's a reason why these social media platforms do so well. It's like they own the data. You know, it's like with insurance agents. And that's why we have a partnership with a verified homeowner Insurance Agency companies like I want to know who the homeowners are, you know, in the area. And that's why data is so powerful. So it's like, you know, like Russell Brunson and you because you're a marketing guy. You know, Russell Russell Russell has a saying he says, there's traffic you own, there's traffic, you can control and there's traffic you can't control. I want to own as much traffic because if for example, my Facebook ad account gets shut down someday, I'm screwed. I personally don't screw but you're screwed. If you built your entire business off of Facebook, my all my database sits in my CRM. So it's like we want to own as much data as we possibly can. So that if Facebook ever shuts us down or Tik Tok shuts down or Tik Tok gets banned by the US. It does matter because I've siphoned the data from Tik Tok, and I'm gonna just bring them over to YouTube. SoSpeaker 1 38:45  yeah, I mean, you're in data, I said it all TwitchCon like you're in the data collection agency, all the content you create in the world is just going to create conversations, but it's what you do with the conversations. That is the biggest thing. And as long as you discipline in building that email list, you're gonna be able to stay in front of them. People take for granted email, especially in real estate, you have to capture their email, you have to capture their email. And I always say you have to capture their direct mail too, because I'm farming them with direct mail. I'm staying in touch with them through physical mail. Like you have to you're in the business of data collection. And if you're not viewing it that way, like what's the difference between them and us? I want as many real estate agent email addresses as possible because the more I have, the more shit I can sell. Yep, so differently for you guys. We're just yeah, we just have a different industry. Cody and I are marketers. You guys are realtors, your audience's right and fucking in front of you. It's in your cell phone. It's on your Facebook feed. And ours is you guys but everything we're sharing with you guys today is what we're like this is a form of content that we're on right now. To add value to your lives. Some of you guys are gonna go click on Cody's website and then he's gonna fucking retarget the shit out you all over online until you call them up, right?Speaker 2 39:53  You're gonna see me on YouTube. You'll see me on Facebook. I might pop on Tik Tok for you. There's a there's a tick tock pixel on there, and there's a Facebook pixel, there's Google, you're gonna see me. So youSpeaker 1 40:04  have to start by adding value first. And all we're doing here is recording a 30 minute conversation you guys are eavesdropping on at the end of the day, and some of you guys are gonna get value from it. Some of you guys might call me, like, that's just what content is. But content creates conversation conversations leads to trust, trust leads to you getting fucking hired, and you get hired, you get paid. I do it. Any other closing thoughts that you want to add in on this?Speaker 2 40:26  No, this has been, it's been amazing. Like, you know, the last thought would be like, you know, just the people that go and implement or like, you know, imperfect action is probably the biggest thing I would leave everyone with where it's like a lot, there's a lot here. And if you're listening back to the podcast, you're like, Well, what do I do first, it's like, just try something. Like just imperfect action is kind of the big thing we've been saying to our clients, where it's like, Don't overthink things. You have to just do like, just do and and figure shit out as you go. Because when you do that, that's what you put yourself into momentum. And that's where confidence is created. So I would say imperfect action, confidence, competence, confidence competence loop, you know, believe in your ability to figure this shit out. SoSpeaker 1 41:04  my take on today was one, define your offer, you can't just have a license, that doesn't work. You got to do some sexy. So what's your unique selling proposition to define your creatives you're going to use for your ads, and then three, I can go out and do it. That's it. Nothing starts without the creatives first and the offer guys, that's everything. You have to have the best food on the block the restaurant with the best food always stays in business, the one with the hair in it. Well, that's another story. So we appreciate you guys listening to the episode The real estate marketing podcast, you want to go ahead and let them know one more time where they can reach you.Speaker 2 41:37  Yeah, shared in st.io.
