Listen To This If You Want To Sell More Stuff
27/12/2018 Duration: 11minIf you're trying to come up with a great offer to pitch to your audience, you're going to want to listen to this whole podcast. Frank Kern breaks down the classic copywriting formulas and shows you why simpler is sometimes better. Stop staring at that blank page, use these time tested copywriting formulas to jump start your offer instead. "Motion beats meditation." -Gary Halbert An offer made badly is better than no offer at all. Our income is in direct proportion to the number of offers we make. It's also in direct proportion to the amount of goodwill we have. One of the most unpleasant things in marketing is staring at the blank page. There is a particular formula that has been working very well lately for Frank and his clients. "Sometimes the easiest way to sell a horse is to run an ad that says 'horse for sale'." -Jay Abraham A lot of internet marketing strategies may work well but they can be very hard to implement. Sometimes easier is better. Dog whistle copy is copy that is only relevant to people who

What To Do Next
24/12/2018 Duration: 10minLearn the simple two-step process that you can use to make more money in 2019 while avoiding the biggest mistake that entrepreneurs make all the time. Stop focusing on your strikeouts, and instead, start multiplying your homeruns this holiday season and make 2019 your best year yet. The question that comes to mind near the end of the year is "what do I do next?" You've probably had some months this year that went really well and some that went not so well. As entrepreneurs, we always like to come up with new things to do and tend to forget about the stuff that's already working. We also almost never forget about the stuff that didn't work. You could make $10,000 today and that would be great, but if you lost $10,000 you would probably think about it for weeks. If you want to make 2019 significantly better than this year, the first step is to make a list of every month's individual revenue in 2018, then look at your two best months and make note of them. Go into your shopping cart solution and look for the bi

BEAST MODE
20/12/2018 Duration: 24minDiscover the true definition of "beast mode" and why you don't need email to sell things online. Find out how Frank is experimenting by selling his new book, Convert 2.0, using only channels other than email and how he is generating an incredible ROI while doing it. Get a behind-the-scenes look as Frank opens up his ad accounts and shopping cart so you can see exactly what's working and why. Beast mode is to always be taking forward action towards meeting your objective. You have to always be promoting your stuff if the sale of your stuff is your primary objective. It's easy for the brain to look at a situation and think "that didn't work!" but you have to look at things from a realistic perspective. Not everyone reads their email. If you sent out a series of three emails to your list and they didn't take any action, maybe they just didn't see your message. We're all so dependent on email that we overlook all the opportunities we have to go into beast mode and what else we have available to us. You need to t

One Piece Of Paper Can Cure Overwhelm
17/12/2018 Duration: 09minWhen it comes to selling online, it can feel like you have a million things to do and no time to get them all done. Frank reveals a simple exercise that will help you get clear on what you need to do to cure your feeling of overwhelm and understand exactly what you need to work on next. Have you ever felt like it's totally overwhelming to sell things online? You feel like you have to do everything all at once and instead you end up doing nothing. Take a piece of paper and divide it into four quadrants. There are really only two things we do online, we build a list and then we sell them stuff. Within those two things there are only four major activities. In the building a list world, we get traffic and then we get them to opt-in. In the sales world, we have email and then the sales system. Everything that you're going to do in your entire universe of selling things online is going to fall into one of these four categories. When it comes to traffic, we have the audience, the image, and the copy. In many ways,

The $1000 Saddle Story
13/12/2018 Duration: 07minHear the story of Uncle Slim and the $1000 saddle, then find out why you have the greatest opportunity in history to turn your skills in online marketing into real results for you and your customers. Learn the mistake most new marketers make when getting started and how to avoid it and what you should be doing instead. "If you put a $1000 saddle on a $5 horse, it ain't going to make no difference." -Uncle Slim If you have the ability to help successful businesses generate more revenue and customers, but you aren't using your ability, you essentially have that $1000 saddle on a $5 horse. Chances are you know more about direct response and internet marketing than 99% of people in the world. If you have these skills, you have been presented with potentially the greatest opportunity in the modern era. Most of the people in the marketing world gravitate towards beginners. What powers every successful business will always be the market that business serves. The greatest market ever meets these three criteria: #1 t

The "Magic Power" That Fuels Success
10/12/2018 Duration: 07minThere is more to success than just hard work, dedication, and believing in yourself. Learn about the two "magic powers" that separate the most successful people on Earth from everyone else, and how you can combine them to become unstoppable. The most common question Frank gets is "what separates a very successful person from a non-successful person?" Hard work, dedication, and belief in yourself are not the reason although they are important. The one thing that all Frank's most successful clients have in common is they are willing to listen and actually follow the advice they get from their mentors. It may sound simple, but it's surprisingly rare. Commitment to action is the most important character trait. Don't overcomplicate the advice, try it first. If it doesn't go as planned, then you ask a million questions. Every single private client that Frank works with is a long term thinker. A million bucks is a good start, but it should never be the end goal. They are perfectly fine with doing whatever it takes

Don't Listen To Your Brain
06/12/2018 Duration: 06minDon't let your brain fool you - it will often makes things out to be bigger than they actually are. Learn how Frank saved one of his clients from creating a whole pile of new products based on a false assumption and instead helped her to see the one thing in her business that was already working well and double down. Never listen to your brain, always listen to your calculator. "Nobody," "everybody," "always," and "never" are four very dangerous words our brains like to use to generalize. Frank has a private client that ran into some trouble. She made a high ticket offer to her list of clients and no one bought. After talking to one of the people on her list, she concluded that no one in her market has any money. After digging into this client's main funnel, Frank found that it was actually working very well. The solution to this client's problem is not to create more stuff, butto focus on boosting the effect of her already successful process. If she listened to her brain, she would have spent a considerable

When Internet Marketing Fails
03/12/2018 Duration: 05minContrary to what most internet marketers think, the internet is not the answer to every marketing question. Find out how a doctor used some old school direct response principles to generate $54,000 in revenue without spending one second on the internet. Internet marketers think everything has to be online but the internet has only really been around for the last 20 years. Most people who sell online use direct response principles which have been around for hundreds of years. Sometimes the internet is not the answer. Often what you should be doing is looking for the one thing that generates the biggest results for your business instead of trying to do more. Frank has a client who is a doctor and most of his clients come to him from Google. This doctor was concerned about what would happen to his lead flow if his site no longer ranked on Google. After digging into this doctor's sales process, Frank realized that the internet wasn't the answer to the doctor's issue, at least in the short term. Frank recommended

Why You DON'T Want A New Funnel
29/11/2018 Duration: 20minDiscover the reason why email marketing is dying and what you should be doing instead to generate new customers for your business. Creating a new funnel is not always the answer to scaling up your business. Sometimes, what you need to do is just put more gas in the tank. Finally, learn about the tidal shift that is happening in the marketing world and what you can do to surf the wave. Automation isn't always the answer to growing your business. If you're funnel already works really well, don't try to fix it. If you have a sales process that works, all you need to do is get more people into the process. A sales process is like an engine. When trying to improve things, you can either rebuild the whole engine or just pour more gas in the tank. People are choosing to communicate in different ways, and we know that email is losing its effectiveness. Opens and engagement are going down. A lot of marketers don't email anymore, they communicate with their list either through Facebook messenger or Instagram messenger

Get Out Of Your Business To Grow It
26/11/2018 Duration: 14minYou have to get out of your business to grow it, and this is the greatest time of year for business owners to grow! Find out why many businesses will generate 60% to 80% of their yearly revenue and how you can get in on the opportunity. Learn what offers to run to your market and how to weave them into the upcoming holiday season. If you want to double your business, all you have to do is run more offers to your existing customers. If you want to grow your business, you have to get outside of your business and look at it with a different perspective. Working in the business day-to-day makes it really easy to overlook opportunities that other people could see that are obvious. You can use offers more than once. If an offer you made in the past worked well, you should probably run it again. Your income as a business owner is, in many ways, proportional to the number of offers you make to your market. If you accept that as true, then this year is the best time of year for your business. This is the time of year
