Direct mail rocks. While other platforms are getting overloaded, direct mail is increasing its ROI. Here is a 5-part mailer (going to almost 2,000 people) that we're using to promote my event. 

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again—a great funnel is great, but it all depends on your launch strategy. The funnel is there to catch all the cash, but you need to generate the noise and direct attention towards the funnel…

There are a lot of ways to do that, a lot of cool campaigns and strategies (that I’ll also be teaching at OfferLaunch Pad). One of them is direct mail. Yep, direct mail still works!

In this episode, I’ll share how we planned the direct mail campaign for the OfferLaunch event and how each letter was designed to attract and generate the sales-based noise.

So check out how I lace all the letters together...

Key takeaways:

• How I plan the campaigns for my live events (00:57)
• Here’s what sparked the idea for this campaign (04:09)
• Figuring out how to do a creative direct mail campaign (08:27)
• This is what the first piece of the mail looks like (10:06)
• Here’s the secret… welcome to the campaign (15:50)
• How I made the direct mail campaign happen (17:58)
• These are the things you can learn at my next event (19:01)

This is the process I use for creating my frameworks for products and speeches. If you have any forward-facing material, you can use it too. It’s not an easy fix, but over time, this will make your stuff world-class… 

The key is always simplicity. Make your material easily digestible, with your audience in mind. You’re making this for them, not for you. 

Also, practice! I spend hours practicing my material, even if I know exactly what I’ll be talking about. If you’re getting on the stage, you want your message to come across in a clear and engaging way, and you can’t just wing that.

Another great idea: find your core topics and really dig deep into that material. Make it your business to become an expert for those topics and have core material always ready to go.

The greatest trick of all is having a developed framework in your mind… How does that work exactly?

Key takeaways:

• How I upped my teaching game between events (00:57)
• Coming up with new stuff vs. perfecting what you have (05:41)
• Practicing is a crucial step if you want to get better (10:02)
• Why it’s a good idea to have stock speeches ready (16:25)
• How to develop a framework and think faster (19:54)
• Become the best in the world at what you do (22:40)
• What I’m obsessed about—my gift to the marketplace (27:38)

Not all lists, opt-ins, or leads are created equal. About 7 years ago I got a little too close to the ethics line on an email campaign. Here's what I did and what I learned…

You can have a list with a million emails, but that doesn’t mean these are leads. Traffic is great, but unless you get conversions, you will go broke.

In this episode, I want to talk about email lists, distribution, and how to turn an opt-in into a real lead… I also want to tell you about the time I went “gray hat”.

I’ve since only been doing “white hat” marketing, but aside from the ethics issue, this thing I did didn’t even work! 

Let’s find out why… 

Key takeaways:

• My first real learning opportunity (00:58)
• It’s all about the conversion rates (05:39)
• So here’s what I did (and why it didn’t work) (09:22)
• Why opt-ins are not leads, at least not yet (13:14)
• What can you get in my Offer Launch event (18:33)
• Don’t be afraid to follow up until they buy(20:25)

When should I start coaching? This is a question I often get, and in this episode, I’m gonna answer it straight… 

Starting a business with the intent to become a "guru" can be awesome… or it can become your downfall. Every time you communicate with the market you're either providing value or being annoying. 

So what is it that qualifies you to be a guru? And what exactly is a #fakeguru?

There are 3 things that I think give you permission to call yourself an expert and go out there and teach. 

In this episode, I explain what’s the ONLY time I think someone should purposefully "become a guru"...

Key takeaways:

• What I did to get where I am now (00:57)
• Who is and isn’t a “fake guru” (05:21)
• Here’s what qualifies you to do anything (09:00)
• The 3 things you need to become a guru (11:59)
• So when are you ready to start teaching? (17:57)

When is the funnel ON? Even if you have a great funnel, it’s not gonna do you much good unless you launch for profit! And launching means generating noise through sales-based events… the campaigns.

Today I’ll tell you about 16 different campaigns that we used to fill our live event last year. We got 650 people! That was a huge success for us, but it wasn’t done overnight.

Funnels may take a few days to build, but the campaign part of it takes weeks. You simply NEED to generate noise in the direction of your offer.

I’ll tell you how we did it and I also want to announce our new event and what we’re doing to launch that. So let’s get into it!

Key takeaways:

• Going from 150 people to 650 people attending (00:48)
• Never launch a funnel without a plan (02:49)
• The detailed process of launching this event (03:48)
• Anything can be a campaign if you plan it right (05:49)
• How to roll out campaigns to get attention (09:04)
• Is being funny a good sales strategy (11:49)
• What to do before, during, and after launching (13:20)
• Everything you need to know about campaigns (16:58)

Let’s go down for a little marketing history lesson. WHEN did "spamming" start? WHO started it? WHY?

Because when we look at history, we understand that there’s no such thing as “internet marketing”.

Marketing is a set of principles, not platforms—we just use the platforms to do the principles.

So from the first direct mail campaign and the first spam email to today’s paid ad campaigns and free distribution platforms… Marketing remains the same, the same set of principles for everyone who does it. 

And if you get those principles, then you can be a great marketer on EVERY platform, the old and the new.

In this episode, I want to take a look at that history and also talk about what marketing really, actually is. Let’s jump right in!

Key takeaways:

• A short history of the internet (01:05)
• The first email, the first online purchase... (03:12)
• The internet is still very, very new (10:15)
• The old ways of marketing are still worth it (11:58)
• What marketing ISN’T and why you can’t “miss out” (14:08)
• So what is the actual definition of marketing (17:58)
• A quick summary of different marketing definitions (20:18)
• What my event OfferLaunchpad is going to be about (21:59)

It didn't start on purpose, but about every 6 months, I tend to ask ONE very important question. It's a hard question to answer, but answering it forces my business structure to upgrade. 

Every time I asked this question, something crucial changed that allowed me to make more money, have more time, be more productive. 

This question is also important because it stops you from comparing yourself to other people. The only thing you need to look at is what you were doing, yesterday… 

Asking this question is one of the main reasons my business took off (it's not comfortable). So here's the question… Let’s jump right in!

Key takeaways:

• Why I decided to build an actual office (01:19)
• The one mistake we make that’s devastating (04:10)
• Here’s how you honor your own journey (07:58)
• Asking this question opens so many possibilities (06:24)
• What really defines your self-worth is… (13:18)
