Can you believe it's not even a year since ChatGPT entered our collective consciousness, making AI part of everyday speak?! “How did we ever live without it?” some are saying. Whilst others are openly cursing it. Love it or hate it, AI (in all its forms) is here to stay, so best us business owners do our best to wrap our heads around it. It's another artificially intelligent episode 653 of The (14 year-old, award-winning) Small Business Big Marketing podcast.   A little more about this episode As you're probably experiencing yourself, AI continues to be the talk of the town. You only have to visit any social media platform to see friends and colleagues boast about what they're achieving thanks to their new found best artificial friend, the amazing images they've created and the crazy amount of time they're saving by using the likes of ChatGPT. There's no doubt AI is saving us all a bunch of time, and enabling us to get shit done that we never dreamed possible. But are you getting stuck on the AI treadmill? Or are you being super smart in the way you're using it? Well today, myself and past guest (from episode 630) Troy Dean of Agency Mavericks continue the AI discussion. We discuss: How smart business owners are using AI. The interplay between human and machine, and the importance of being a good prompter! I share the results of a research study I did amongst my Facebook Tribe and LinkedIN followers, who revealed how they're benetting from AI And we talk about how to get started with AI if you haven't already.

Is there ever a right time to start a business? We could subscribe to every podcast, take every online course, thumbs up every video Troy Dean puts out on Facebook and we still wouldn't be 100% ready. Imagine having a full-time job and peddling your small piece of software on the side. Before you know it, it's making 500 to 1,500 in monthly sales. If you dedicate more time to it, you can turn it into an almost full-time gig. But when? If you dedicate more time to it, where do you focus that precious resource? Travis Lopes just made that leap from full-time at Rocket Genius — the makers of Gravity Forms — to run his software business, forgravity.com. He'll take us down (or up?) the decision tree on how he weighed the opportunity ahead of him. Also, what about building for a niche product within a niche product?! ★ Support this podcast ★

What Is A Growth Engine? In a service-based business, the idea of a growth engine is to put systems and processes in place that allow your business to continue to grow mechanically. And what we mean by that is that; a machine has predictable behaviour, because it has all the right parts, moving together. When you turn a machine on, for example, a vacuum cleaner, it kind of does what you expect it to do. However, most of our businesses, when you turn a small business on, most of them don't behave in a way that we expect them to behave. That's just because human beings get involved and we like to complicate things, and we get distracted. So, the more consistent and the more standardized you can make your business, then the more chance you have of turning it into a growth engine, that is something that you turn on and it behaves in a predictable way. Listen to How To Turn Your Business Into A Growth Engine with Troy Dean Episode 59 of Small Business Talk Podcast for all the details

In this episode, Matt Medeiros follows up with Troy Dean to discuss what he is doing with his business in 2018. They cover the online and education space. Matt and Troy talk about advanced education in the United States, online education, and online marketing. Troy is the founder of WPElevation and RockStar Empires. Listen to the episode Matt Report - A WordPress podcast for digital business owners I asked Troy Dean if he was doing this for the money. The answer will shock you.

This plugin was created to save time training new WordPress users. (0:20) An email list was created from people who purchased the plugin. (0:25) Troy does not pitch to users that are not online because most people do not know what WordPress is.  He says that he has an online education and software company. (2:20) Online Education and Internet Marketing: Advanced education is becoming harder and harder to obtain. Online education is like a toddler with room to grow. (4:18) There are a lot of problems in the online education space. (4:29) Many online courses that are offered by a provider like Udemy have no quality control. (5:25) Many Internet Marketers have marketing funnels that collect the money for courses but do not have a way to see if the purchaser completed the course or program. (6:41) WPElevation has metrics that show if participants have completed their courses and continually offer support. (7:04) WPElevation has a 65% + completion rate and follows up with participants to make sure that they feel they got what they paid for. (8:46) Approaches to Internet Marketing: Some internet marketers are selling information about their content and not offering anything valuable. They are just selling courses up front to create revenue. (10:09) The constant launch is difficult to sustain. You need to continue to deliver value. (13:13) When Troy started with WPElevation five years ago, he gave things away (like a good business proposal) that brought value to freelancers and small business owners. (14:27) The pivot of the business happened when the community began to grow and Troy started scheduling on site 3-day seminars with face to face interaction. (16:05) There were many failures in the early Internet Marketing space. (16:31) Participants from the seminars have started to ask for the high-end Mastermind classes this year. (18:18) Focusing on Success: Troy has a list of people that support WPElevation with testimonials. (19:49) You cannot let limiting beliefs hold you back. Ignore anything that does not support your vision. (21:16) Know Your Why. Only buy stuff that helps you with your business. (22:32) Social Media can be very polarizing so if something comes through attacking you just ignore it. (24:04) 2700 people have been through the WPElevation program. (27:34) Sticking around and trying out different price points has lead to the most success. (29:13) There is not a fast track to success with acceptable margins just using memberships and videos. That is not easy. (31:05) Prices are going up as the value is increasing and opportunities are presenting themselves to a larger audience. (33:48) Staff and remote employees from the community are part of the daily business today.  So the “why” is now the business direction, not Troy Dean. (37:56) Strategic points for the business in 2018: YouTube videos are a strong focus to drive marketing channels. Silence is Golden is an entertaining way show people how to do stuff with WordPress that is published weekly.  (41:10) Every fortnight there is a highly produced how-to video. The latest videos were about how to produce things with the Elementor page builder. The next how-to videos will be produced with other strong products in the WordPress space. (43:04) Behind the scene videos which are raw and shot with a hand-held camera. (43:20) Currently looking at YouTube adds to drive traffic to your channels. (44:01) The next best thing to meeting in person is producing a video. (44:55) Video is hard and most people won't do it. (45:00) Video seems to be very successful with one unique personality recording. (47:10) YouTube is being used to show the authority of WPElevation in the WordPress space. (48:48) What is next for Troy Dean? Troy will continue with education and inspiration for small business where a person can be creative. (51:00) Travel more with family. (51:55) Troy has been asking the question what if exploring joy is just “it”? (52:00) Be a good father and dad.

Troy is working this year to balance the work between WPElevation and RockStar Empires. WPElevation is an existing business with over 700 members and a proven business model. RockStar Empires is the long game business that concentrates on small business owners. Troy is not in any rush for instant success. The Internet is a game changer and provides connections with real people running a small business. The small business is an extension and manifestation of the owner. Small businesses will start up not completely understanding everything that is needed. You cannot take your eye off the ball too long when running a business and you need good people working for you. The meaning of life is not all about money. Don't be in such a rush. WPElevation WPElevation teaches business consulting and communication. Consultants graduating from the WPElevation course call themselves Digital Marketing Consultants. They are providing holistic solutions for their clients. WPElevation has a very clear curriculum and provides a journey with your clients through your business. Rockstar Empires growth and scaling the business: Rockstar Empires teaches you how to reposition yourself in your business to become the expert. The turnkey solution helps you market and produce your own products. About 400 members were actively successful after completing the Rockstar Empires program. Troy promoted people from the community that participated in the live events that he held. People were placed on retainers and across multiple time zones. It took the time to turn over the reins of the program and not control everything. Advantages of using video and podcasting: A great business strategy is to use video and podcasting to build your professional network. Podcasting can really help you compete in a local space. You can “own” a category by inventing it. Podcasting creates great positioning authority and allows you to package your expertise. Masterminds: Mastermind groups are only as good as the amount of time people are committed to putting into them. You need to find the right people that are willing to share and connect with the group. Live Mastermind events that you pay for should be events that share information and not be used sell something. You need to add value before you pitch something for a live event. If there is no “skin in the game” people may not participate and value the experience. Setting ground rules from the start with your Mastermind group can help with the participation of everyone. The Future of WordPress: WordPress will become less visible in terms of the technology stack. The open source spirit of WordPress will continue to grow. WordPress will continue to offshoot to support different verticles. The challenge of WordPress growth will be to keep a lot of people happy over a long period of time. WordPress will continue to evolve and become more powerful than what you can do with it now. The tribe of WordPress users continues to grow and it will continue to evolve.

We're back with Season 2 Episode 2 documenting the launch of my latest product, Julep. This week I've invited returning guest, Troy Dean of WP Elevation, to talk about the fears of launching a product. We also get into providing some advice for growing your e-mail list for a product launch. Sit back, take a sip of your favorite summer cocktail and let's get into the show! Overcoming our fears If you're not embarrassed of your first product, you've launched too late. I love that line. So many of us are paralyzed while in pixel perfect mode, that we never ship our next thing. From blog posts to products, it's not easy to launch. I get it, it's human nature, we want to be accepted. I know as a founder, when asked what my 10 year plan is, it's to make things people love. When people don't love my stuff, it hurts. More often than not, this journey is going to come at the cost of some egg on our face. However, our best lessons and growth opportunities come from failure. Listen to Season 2 Episode 2: Overcoming product launch fears Like the show? Leave us a review — it takes 43 seconds!  Gathering your first 100 e-mail subscribers On the way to 100! I've already surpassed my short-term goal of 50 subscribers to the Julep e-mail list. I wasn't going for astronomical list growth. I'm sure there are some that laugh at 68 subs — but hey, no fear, right? How did I get the list to 68 Announced GetJulep.com on Carrie's podcast Announced it on my podcast Sent an e-mail to my Matt Report Newsletter list Wrote a blog post on GetJulep.com here. Tweeted about it (roughly 6 times) Posted the announcement article on ManageWP.org My next goal is 100. Seeing that I've hit a snag in the development of the plugin — can't move text 100% across the image — I'll have a bit of delay. I'm shooting for beta announcement in a week. By then, I hope, I'll be at 100 interested folks. When Troy and I chatted about growing an e-mail list, he mentioned creating a downloadable “style” guide of sorts. Some PDF or checklist of sorts to help bloggers create more engaging photos. Your typical “lead magnet” strategy. Here are some of the e-mail platforms we mentioned: Mailchimp.com GetDrip.com MyEmma.com Infusionsoft.com ActiveCampaign.com AgileCRM.com Should Julep go freemium or paid only? Have you seen what's available for free on the internet? – Troy Dean I'm still exploring the business model of Julep, but I'm certainly leaning towards the freemium model. I think the interesting thing, as it relates to add-ons, is the price point. I think add-ons in the e-commerce plugin space can be priced a lot higher than more of these “accessory” add-ons I have planned for Julep. As to say, a payment gateway is a “must-have” versus with Julep, a new font is a “nice-to-have.” Either way it's going to be fun to explore that!

Why Giving Free Consultations is Actually Bad for Your Business In this episode, I talk with Troy Dean about Post Traumatic Client Syndrome and why giving free consultations is actually bad for your business. The struggle is real. One of the biggest struggles out there is wasting time on unqualified leads. You drop everything to drive across town for a meeting with a potential client, buy them lunch, only to find out they have no plan and no budget. An afternoon totally wasted.   What you need is better screening. Here's how: Draw a line in the sand and say “I will not touch a project under X amount of dollars.” Stop doing free consults. Find out the budget before you meet. If you don't want to be doing projects under $10,000, then find out the project's budget before meeting with the client. When someone contacts you, reply with a survey of their project, asking things like budget and timeline. This will help you weed out those just casually browsing. Start charging for the initial meeting. This will help ensure that you're meeting with people serious about making a deal. It doesn't have to be a big fee. Don't even call it a fee. Do a consultation with something that they can take with them. Create some sort of roadmap, blueprint, or strategy. This way, they feel like they're walking away with something of value and you're being paid for your time. The Nightmare Client. Post-traumatic client syndrome is what happens when you deal with a pain-in-the-ass client. You know the ones: micromanaging, aloof, wishy-washy. These clients suck. One way to avoid PTCS is by positioning yourself as a consultant rather than a tradesperson. You want to change how the client views you. You're not an hourly product and you should be wary of working with anyone who doesn't think you're worth the amount you charge or who thinks what you do is “easy” or “simple.” If you have a nightmare client - get out and get out fast. There is no reason to work with someone who doesn't respect you or what you do. Drop the PIA ones to make room for the great clients with awesome projects. Grow Your Agency Knowing how to improve business practices for your agency like avoiding giving free consultations to prospective clients, there may be other underlying practices you need to stop or take on to elevate your agency. I always suggest taking a step back to look for weak spots in your business. No matter what challenge your agency is facing, I can help you get through all of it. From my experience in the industry, there are many topics I can offer guidance from the different phases of growth you will experience to how you can build authority for your agency. Growing your agency can be a major struggle for any agency owner and I can show how placing a process for performance-based pricing can be the best pricing strategy for your business and the three questions you need to ask yourself to sell more!

Here's a special episode today hosted by my good friend Troy Dean. We chatted a while back about putting on a”host swap” of sorts. I interview a guest for his show, he interviews a guest for mine. I had a great time and he really knocked it out of the park on this episode. You can also head over to watch my interview with Jason Cohen on Troy's site. In today's episode we're hearing from one of my community fave's Japh Thomson of X-team. He shares his story about developing the WP-Stream plugin with folks like Frankie Jarrett.
