A couple of days ago, Travis Ketchum, CEO of Campaign Refinery and Contest Domination, Chris Bruno, CEO of SocialINK, and myself, decided to run an open Zoom Collaboration Call to help businesses and entrepreneurs with their marketing during these difficult times. The idea was to try to help as many people as we could during this COVID situation. We are all experiencing the same things and it's hard to figure out what to do next when no one knows what's coming next. While we did EVENTUALLY manage to have a great conversation and share some solid ideas on what we can all be doing right now, unfortunately it got off to a bit of a rocky start... Basically we experienced first hand what #ZoomBombing was the hard way. We also learned a valuable lesson… Don't put an open link to a Zoom call out into the world! We didn't want to ask people to register as didn't want to put anyone off thinking it was some kind of “data gathering” exercise. But unfortunately a few people who have clearly been stuck inside for too long showed up and thought it would be hilarious to start throwing insults, profanities and showing screens of lewd acts…! There's a few villages missing more than one idiot by the look of things! You can read what Chris wrote about this by reading the blog post he wrote about it here But as everything that is going on right now requires quick thinking, resourcefulness and flexibility, we did manage to quickly pivot and host the call on a different platform (Thanks Travis!!!) So tune in to hear us share our thoughts about the "new normal" and discuss creative ways to sustain (and grow) your business during this challenging period and beyond.

Travis Ketchum-Cleaning Up Your Email List

In today’s episode, we are joined by one of our former guests, Travis Ketchum who is known for creating Contest Domination and is now running his most recent program, Campaign Refinery. After getting frustrated with the lack of proper services to test deliverability options, Travis decided to create one himself. You are in for a treat as Travis talks about the amazing split testing that his tool can do on multiple levels, which not only saves you time but the annoyance of having to switch on the front end from one carrier to another, as it’s done on the backend of his software. We also dive into the key things everyone should be doing to make sure their list has the highest quality threshold and the best chances for high open rates. Plus to set yourself apart, we talk about some other cool ways to get your readers excited about hearing from you such as gamifying your list. Lastly, we get into some real talk about a subject we continue to discuss which is anxiety, depression, and becoming stuck in comparison mode and how to combat those things to keep you on track. After you are finished, be sure to listen to our previous episode with Travis as he discusses how to build a list with contests and giveaways along with our episode with Wilco de Kreij on how to build your list exponentially.  “If your compass was one-tenth of one degree off it’s not a big deal for the first mile, but you do that path forever and you end up in a wildly different spot.” - Travis Ketchum Some Topics We Discussed Include: How to clean up your list for maximum deliverability results Why you want to split test everything on the backend How to add gamification to your email list-building model The different levels of split testing How to keep things in perspective when things go wrong How Travis’ new podcast is a platform about the frustrations with running a subscription business The evergreen flash sale Tips and dealing with anxiety and comparisons with other entrepreneurs when using social media Best practices for when someone hits the offer page after it’s over And much, much more!

It was a pleasure to chat to Travis Ketchum all about email marketing and what small businesses can do to build and then automate an email list that actually grows their business. Travis started off with one problem he wanted to solve: how to build a big email list, quickly. His frustration with the clumsy nature of existing marketing automation and email marketing platforms led him down the rabbit hole to build his own solutions. Today, he's the Founder & CEO of Campaign Refinery, a "next-generation email marketing platform", and Contest Domination.Contest Domination changed the way people think about viral lead-generating campaigns. Over 29 million contest entries down the line, I chatted to Travis all about email marketing, lead generation, entrepreneurship and how to delight your audience without going insane or being held back by tech.

We’re back again, and on this episode it’s just us as we dive into another round of our  Therapy Sessions. First off, we review how we are continuing to be on the forefront of all that is in the podcasting world and how podcasting continues to be a content machine which can lead to so many monetization models such as newsletters, high ticket offers, sponsorships and continuity offers.  Next, we are not holding back as we talk about how we both have struggled with stress and anxiety in the past, what we have done and are doing now to combat that, leaving us to feel much better current day.  We feel that this is an issue that is not always discussed in today’s world, but really needs to be and we look into our personal lives a little more to talk about the things that all of us, as entrepreneurs deal with along with the practices that have made a big difference in our lives, in our relationships, health and overall well-being. Remember - as entrepreneurs, you are not alone. When you’re done, check out the episodes we did with with Travis Ketchum and Sam Khorramian where we delve into this important topic even more. “Now we have podcasts and Google is indexing not only the show notes / the blog post of that show but they are actually indexing podcasts now. There’s this interesting wave now that.” - Joe Fier “Isn’t it funny how much better business works when you build things people want instead of what you think they want.” - Matt Wolfe Some Topics We Discussed Include: How to deal with struggles and hardships Why we are in the barrel of podcasting now and how to catch that wave Matt’s heartfelt Facebook post and the most surprising outcome about it Why podcasting is not going away and how you can monetize it Why so many people have reached out to us lately to assist them with their own podcasts Tips and method for breathing, journaling and generally taking care of your health And much, much more!

Travis Ketchum is the creator of Contest Domination, my personal favourite contest platform. In this episode Travis shares how we can put our list building on steroids by using contests!

An EU ruling has ordered that people should have the right to be forgotten and have unwanted search listings about them which are deemed to be irrelevant or outdated to be removed from the SERPs. This opens a can of worms because it raises lots of concerns about fraudulent requests, freedom of information, the logistics of how Google will decide which requests to accept or reject and some other issues too, this is a big story will be covered by mainstream media so I'm sure you'll be seeing more on this as things develop. Google rolled out their Panda 4.0 update last week, so there has been another shake up in the SERPs. Rumour has it that this is the update that Matt Cutts described as being softer and gentler and will help small businesses to still be able to compete in Google's organic results. Bing ads have updated their performance trends graph to give an instant snapshot of how your ads a performing over different time periods. In Facebook news, The new Facebook Pages redesign is rolling out more widely now, I logged into my fan page the other day and I liked what I saw. Their new one column layout is much easier to look at in my opinion. They have been rolling this out slowly this last month but all pages will start to be eligible for this new page layout soon. Facebook have also announced that automated status updates or statuses coming from 3rd party apps will get less visibility in the news feed. They say that tests have shown these types of post get less engagement and they will be responding by giving them less weight in the news feed. Good news for restaurant owners, if you have a restaurant and facebook fan page, you can now upload a pdf of your menu and it will show as a tab on your facebook page. In Facebook ads news, premium video ads have now gone international, as I mentioned in previous episodes these were being rolled out in the USA but they will now start be available in the UK, Canada, Australia, Brazil, France, Germany and Japan. However Facebook are still being selective over who can use these ads, they don't want this new ad type to be ruined by poor quality ads so this will only be available to a limited number of advertisers. Pinterest have announced that business insights are coming so that brands can gauge which of their pins and boards are getting the most engagements, they will initially be providing this information by opening up it's api so that 3rd party social media analytics tools will be able to tap and report back that data. Pinterest have also announced their board widget for websites, you can paste the board into your website and people can see your latest pins and follow your boards all from your website. Yahoo have announced they will be soon to release their own video sharing platform set to try and compete with YouTube, a big task indeed, but one carrot they will be using to lure content creators over to their platform will be far great revenue sharing, we'll see what happens. Mozilla firefox may soon be rolling out sponsored content in the near future, suggesting web pages or content that may be of interest based on a person's browsing history. For us advertisers this may be a nice new shiny place to run ads, keep an eye out for that. JV zoo have been very busy releasing lots of new updates including split tests for different variations of your sales pages, custom HTML can now be added to receipt pages and prefilled order forms to make the checkout process go quicker. If someone has bought a product from JVzoo previously, they will be cookied then the next time they buy something their details will auto populate. They also worked out a deal with paypal so that subscriptions can last longer and the order value can increase. There used to be a limit of 3 years or $3,600 whichever came first but that limitation has now been increased to 10 years or $10,000 whichever comes first. Infusionsoft have announced some new updates including better website analytics, increased email sending speeds, a faster,speedier experience within the infusionsoft back office and all aspects of infusionsoft will now work on google chrome. they also have released 3 new widgets inside the infusionsoft back office. The contacts, email and sales widgets will give you a quick snapshot of your accounts most recent activity. Contest domination have released a brand new page template which allows for 2 step opt-in boxes even on a mobile device, any contest domination users may want to go check that straight away. On the subject of contest domination, Travis Ketchum the founder of contest domination will be appearing on the online marketing show in the near future. Stay tuned. Leadpages have announced a new membership level, the enterprise membership level which includes live phone support and leadpages coaching with their in-house trainers. The chat widget Zopim has been acquired by zendesk, apparently there won't be many changes in the coming months except for improved zopim/zendesk integration but there may be more changes in the future.
