Episode: 95 Josh Elledge Join David Pere (The Military Millionaire Podcast) with Josh Elledge as he talks about the importance of your online presence and the lessons he learned in his career. In this day and age, and especially as entrepreneurs, it's essential to grow your audience and create a community around our identity.

Josh expresses that success is always on the backside of failure as he recalls his experience with bankruptcy. By the end of the episode, you will learn to value your identity on the web, learn from the masters around you, and serve your audience correctly. Stay tuned, and enjoy the podcast! ~ About Josh Elledge: Josh Elledge is an adult man with a child-like, irrational fear of umbrellas. You could ask him to explain–but if he could–it wouldn't be an irrational fear, now would it? A nice midwestern boy from Michigan, Josh also used to be fat. Not just chubby, or the owner of a now-trendy “dad bod,” but seriously overweight (ask to see his old drivers' license photo). Ever the problem solver, he lost 55 lbs through ‘the couponing diet' and now he enjoys going to restaurants that serve chicken waffles and biscuits, and ordering the salad. Just to test his mental toughness. Josh is a serial entrepreneur who builds the companies he needs most in the world. In 2014, He launched UpMyInfluence (previously upendPR) to help entrepreneurs like himself attract the perfect audiences and grow their brands without the crazy costs and contracts associated with traditional PR companies. Since then, UpMyInfluence (UMI) has evolved into a purpose-driven platform bent on totally DEMOCRATIZING access to influence. Josh wholeheartedly believes UMI has a moral imperative to help entrepreneurs own their expertise, share their wisdom, and serve the world with their collective messages. Oh, and to help our members grow revenue too! UMI was the natural outgrowth of his first startup, SavingsAngel.com. Josh founded the consumer savings platform in 2007 to bring in what he most needed at the time (namely, more money). Armed with a background in information technology and Internet development, Josh's technologic tinkering cut his family-of-five's monthly grocery bill by half and created the most comprehensive coupon and sale-matching service available. SavingsAngel.com soon become a major operation employing up to 50 employees and grossing more than $6 million in sales with less than $500 in advertising spent. When other entrepreneurs began knocking on his door desperate for the magic formula that would bring similar success, his new mission in life was born! Today, Josh is known as one of the foremost experts in online influence and authority. He's personally worked with hundreds of entrepreneurs – working to turn them into media celebrities. Never shy in front of an audience, Josh is a frequent speaker at business and startup conferences including Social Media Marketing World and a Tony Robbins event for his Business Mastery grads. He's appeared as an electrifying podcast guest more than 100 times. He's a weekly consumer expert on Fox 35 Orlando and News 13, writes a syndicated column for nine newspapers (with total readership above 1.1 million readers), and regularly appears on more than 75 TV stations across the country. All told, Josh has appeared in the media more than 2000 times. Passionate about his family, physical fitness (an avid fitness geek and 5K to marathon runner), and breaking out of Escape Rooms, Josh now lives in Orlando with his wife and three children. The Michigan native's exuberance and natural curiosity have fueled his life's work as a journalist, technology specialist, entrepreneur and service-oriented family man. Josh served in the US Navy and earned a Bachelor's of Science degree in family science/therapy from Brigham Young University. Josh also wants the public to know he thinks Daylight Savings Time is ridiculous.

Back in October, I attended the Military Influencers Conference. While there, I met dozens of awesome and unique Veterans. During a social event, I was introduced to Josh Elledge. Josh is an expert on saving money and getting upgrades. He told me about a technique he uses with hotels that almost always produces a room upgrade. I was fascinated by his insight and his passion for what he knew. When I returned home I followed up with my new contacts and did a little research on them. That's when I learned Josh had an initiative called upendPR. Between the savings and the public relations knowledge, I knew Josh could bring some unique insight to the podcast that few can. I hit him up and he happily agreed to an interview. Josh tells us about his service in the Navy as a journalist stationed at Pearl Harbor. We learn about his transition and attending college. Then, he gives us the backstory on how he became a consumer expert and gives us some tips on how we can save on our grocery bill. All that, plus some professional PR talk.

Josh Elledge Show Notes Josh Elledge is the Founder & CEO of UpendPR and is about to change an entire industry with the mission to help entrepreneurs attract the perfect audiences through PR. Josh is Chief Executive Angel at SavingsAngel.com and helps consumers get discounts and upgrades on everything through his syndicated newspaper column with 1.1 million readers and on TV in 75 cities. He’s been in the media more than 1500 times. Through his new model of PR Josh now turns digital entrepreneurs into media celebrities at upendPR.com Most passionate about I have stumbled into a broken industry when it comes to serving the startup community. I’m referring to the Public Relations industry. The solution that’s been offered to startups is too expensive, there are no guarantees and it’s too risky. When I launched my company and needed PR there wasn’t a solution and In fact I really created the solution that I needed for close to ten years but didn’t excised. Our vision is to create an agency that will be able to serve way more than just hundred customers as it was in the old PR agencies, and actually I believe we will get there quite fast. Your company My first company that really did well was Saving Angeles and it was something my wife and I really needed. We were looking for a way to cut our grocery expenses, I was shocked to find how high it was. I tried to find a tool that will help us, and there wasn’t any tool that I felt can work for me. I understood the only way to cut our grocery expenses is by taking advantage of incentives from manufactures and retailers’ coupons and sales and I started to collect the information and managed to cut more than half of our expenses within a very short time. Than I thought probably a lot of other consumers can benefit from the information I collected. So we created a membership based website and since I didn’t have money to promote it I started to do PR and it worked!! We are making 6M$ a year from saving angel while we’ve spend less than 500$ beside PR. Then I got invitations to speak on TV on one hand and question of entrepreneurs that wanted to learn what I did on the second hand. That was the base for my UpendPR business. Your customers When I started my PR business I thought my customers will be very starting entrepreneurs that want to learn about PR, however in fact most of our customers are companies that already in the market for some time, after their early investment and need a PR solution to really increase the size of their business but can’t pay more than 1000-2000 Dollars a month. Josh best advice about approaching the customer Most entrepreneurial business owners struggling because they keep trying sell so hard, and it may covers the bills, however I believe that in 2017 and beyond the only way to really succeed is to invest in relationships and spend any minute in serving and giving and create value for your customers through building your sought leadership. Than the customers will come to you. Biggest failure with customers When I started as an owner of a small town newspaper I was so uncomfortable to sale, I was so scared so I ended up failing miserably. And after that for the next five years I did sales and marketing for a network of low firms and had to sale every day for a commission based salary. I was very miserable, and then, one day I suddenly realized that it’s not about convincing people to buy, it’s about listening to people needs and finding how I can help them. In the minute I understood that, I started to enjoy my connection with my clients and started to succeed dramatically. I found the win-win formula. Biggest success due to the right customer approach With Savings Angel I was featured in the local newspaper but one day I got a phone call from a reporter and it was from the Grand Rapids Michigan that wanted to interview me about savings angel and that was the first day we earn...

In this episode, Josh gives generous and open insight into his methods and strategies. Find out more about Josh here: @JoshElledge on Twitterwww.savingsangel.com www.upendPR In this episode: [02:44] - What is and what isn’t PR? Josh gives us his definition, while offering some insight into his perspective. [04:21] - Josh describes his experiences in hiring recent graduates who studied public relations and in doing so emphasizes the importance of understanding what an audience wants rather than just studying PR in an academic setting. [06:18] - Josh describes his frustration and disillusionment with hiring PR firms and the disconnect he sees between what the PR industry is offering and what small-business owners truly need. We also learn about the roots of his company upendPR. [09:01] - Josh tells us about SavingsAngel and what it does, and the importance of exposure in success. [10:50] - Josh describes his outreach attempts to local media companies in the early days of SavingsAngel and his successful strategies for getting exposure without paying for ads. He explains how this ballooned into his current success. [13:32] - Being positioned as a “subject-matter expert on the way to thought leadership” is vital to entrepreneurs. Josh explains why it’s important and how to fill that role. [14:30] - Josh gives an example of how to offer value instead of directly selling your product and emphasizes the importance of becoming a brand journalist. [16:40] - If you had two minutes to do PR work, what would you do? Josh reveals that the most common answers aren’t the best. He explains that newsjacking is the next step after having some authority in your space, and how best to go about it. [19:30] - Especially the first few times you’re working with an influencer or producer, play it very cool, and go very soft on self-promotion. Josh explains why this matters so much. [21:57] - If you’re starting out and have been working on building your authority, how do you make contacts who are influencers if you don’t have them already? Josh gives a step-by-step path to knowing any influencer. [23:45] - As part of this path, Josh explains the importance of Twitter. He also gives specific tips on how to use Twitter and goes over the basics of how to get your first few hundred followers. He then expands on how to get on the radar of influencers. [28:20] - Josh talks about identifying journalists, creating a Twitter list, and monitoring that list separately from your general feed. [29:47] - Our host, Stephan, talks about Followerwonk, a Twitter tool created by Rand Fishkin, the founder of Moz. He asks if Josh has used it, and Josh answers (and also lists other valuable PR tools). [31:33] - Stephan talks about the database Cision, which is a powerful (but expensive) tool for obtaining information about influencers. He also talks about HARO and gives advice on how to be the source chosen for inquiries through this tool. [37:22] - One of Josh’s clients got 28 media placements in one month, mostly from HARO. Josh gives us more information about this. [37:52] - We hear about Josh’s close brush with the reality TV world. [39:30] - Josh gives us a step-by-step path toward becoming a columnist with prominent publications. [45:42] - Josh explains that outlets usually want a commitment of consistency if you’re going to be a guest writer.

[46:55] - Don’t make the mistake of publishing an article you wrote for another publication on your own site. Josh discusses how to handle this. [49:15] - Are there secrets to getting rebooked by media outlets, beyond those we’ve already heard about?

Some of you may have noticed I have been in the media a fair bit recently. I was featured in a Washington Post associated press article about real estate agents a couple of months ago, which was picked up by MSN, Yahoo, Time, and many other major media outlets. I even had to do a photo shoot for the article, which was extremely cool. I did not get that media coverage by sitting around and waiting for people to find me. In fact, I signed up for a public relations company to learn how to reach reporters and the media. Josh Elledge is the head of that company (UpEnd PR) and helps many people get PR and has been mentioned over 2,000 times by the media himself. Josh also runs a savings blog and podcast called savingsangel.com, which has had over 5 million dollars in sales, mostly thanks to media coverage. Josh works with real estate investors and real estate agents to gain PR and improve their business.  

It's time to start running your business like a celebrity and make some money doing it!  That's kind of the approach behind Josh Elledge's Public Relations enterprise, upendPR.com.  He claims that you can't just sit behind a computer and keyboard and expect your business to grow from there.  Sure that CAN happen— but you need to get out on your feet and EARN your public relations, your spotlight, your business, etc.  Here in Studio 1-A... we agree with him! We had a fantastic hour long chat with Josh as he delved into his experiences in public relations, his own successes and failures as a business owner and, you have to listen for this reason alone, he gives us tons of FREE information on public relations.  And it's actually useful stuff! Interestingly enough, Josh has another successful website that he is running.  It's called savingsangel.com and it's sole purpose is to help you reduce the cost of your grocery bill each month.  It's a really cool coupon blog that every household should check out.  Josh has had a crazy amount of success with this website!

Then... Upendpr was born. Learn how to get influencers, journalists, bloggers and people all across the Social Media spectrum to want to help tell YOUR story. 

Our starters are really starting to kick into high gear but before they get too far they get a chance to meet and greet their potential one on one mentors and coaches as well as the subject matter mentors who will be helping them along the way. Starter Studio founder Gregg Pollack is really big on the importance of mentorship and making sure that the team is encouraging coachability as an important merit that leads to startup success. The starter and mentors all got together and got a chance to meet one another in both a social environment as well as a speed dating, hot seat format designed to allow the founders to meet everyone. As is often the case with this format being concise is important, otherwise, you will find you are being moved on before you finish. The elevator pitch and value proposition training is gonna come in really handy here. You like Starter Studio & the Accelerator Podcast - right? It’s cool to see these guys and gals get what might be considered an Ivy League startup education. It’s not easy.

In this episode of Accelerator: At Starter Studio in Orlando, Florida we jump straight from the getting settled to a two day boot camp that will set the tone for the remainder of the program. There’s going to be over 14 hours of content covered over these next two days and we’re going to our best to distill it down and hit the high points. Specifically, we’ll be hearing as the starters get laser focused on their business model, the problems their products solve and - how to validate their assumptions with their customers.

Episode 2 – Moving Day In Episode 2 we’re joining our Starters on the very first day at Starter Studio, when they will share their pitches with one another. Starter Studio’s Director of Programming and Operations, Melissa Wasserman, coaches them on the building blocks of a good pitch: introduce yourself, clearly identify your product, what it does, as well as who it’s for and clearly define your business model and why the listener should care. A question in everyone’s mind is “How do you plan to make money?” otherwise known as, “monetization strategy” in startup jargon. We'll cover this topic.
