Travis Makes Money

SOLO | Make Money with the Credibility Code


Listen Later

Travis delivers a solo masterclass on the "Credibility Code," sharing the top five proven ways he's used to build massive trust in his personal brand and business, even when he wasn't the "best" at what he did. Drawing from his own journey, he explains why the most successful people often win through perception and proof rather than just skill alone.​

On this episode we talk about:

  • The "celebrity effect" and why credibility often trumps raw talent in getting business.​

  • Why PR and publications are still the lowest-hanging fruit for instant third-party validation.​

  • Building a massive library of testimonials and case studies tailored to different customer avatars.​

  • Creating high-volume content and guest appearances to overwhelm skeptics with evidence.​

  • Associating with "undeniable" influencers (like Shaq) to borrow their trust and skyrocket your brand.​

    Top 3 Takeaways

    1. Stack social proof relentlessly. Don't just add one or two testimonials—build a library matching every possible customer scenario so prospects see themselves in your results.​

    2. Volume creates conviction. Flood Google with your name through guest spots, podcasts, and backlinks until anyone researching you finds overwhelming evidence you're legit.​

    3. Associate to accelerate. Share the stage with "Shaq-level" names in your niche; their endorsement transfers instant trust, often more powerfully than PR logos alone.​

      Notable Quotes

      • "The people who got the most business were not necessarily always the best at what they did. They were just the ones who were well known for doing it."​

      • "If anybody researched who I am... you're going to find so much volume... it's going to be overwhelming... that you can't avoid the idea that I'm credible."​

      • "Nike spends tens of billions a year in endorsements. They're basically just buying trust with their ideal audience. That's all it is."​
