What I'm trying to get done now is all of the pieces for this puzzle, and through the years we gathered lots and lots of things. So I'd just like to get your what twos and why fours on the best way to sell this thing now, in this day and age?

So, it's been a long time since I've worked with any ass-kickers (that is what I call self defense people). What worked in the past and what probably still works is...

I want to be seen as different, partially because I'm more expensive than other videographers they may have experienced in the past. So how would you go about that, would you want to educate them about that in maybe that first free video?

What is the best place you would recommend to create online assets? So they don't have to develop them over?

Like making stuff? Yeah, so you want to make videos? All right, let's see here.

Any tips to get people really engaged from the get-go?

Like I was thinking about starting to bring people in a week or two weeks prior to my challenge to kind of just warm them up. Cause this last time Facebook ads got hung up and basically that day, I did it the day before people got in. Facebook ads got approved. I had 400 people in the group and then I started the program.

So I think there's maybe a warm up period?

Here's the question I get all the time...

You've lost everything and you're starting from scratch. Your goal is to make $100K as quickly as possible. You've got $10K to your name. How would you do it?

Alright. I would, and I advise everyone to do this...

I have that program where it's basically a three month program 5k to a cold audience. I take them through a five day workshop and the people that don't buy within that 24 hour period, I do the expiring bonuses and all that stuff. Is there a mapped out email sequence that you recommend or is there any other way to get more people to say yes, either in my live offer or through emails that you recommend? Just best practices?

Should you always create video and image ads as regular posts on your page and then when you create your ad, just select them as an existing post or are there certain times when you don't need to do that? You can just create, upload an image and write the ad copy, right from the ads manager? And is there like a good rule of thumb to know, you know, when to do what?

So the only time you want to do it right from the ads manager is always...

I've got a client who is doing this is diabetes treatment that is unlike any other. It's been around for 20 years, but it hasn't been promoted very well. And, when you're promoting stuff on Facebook, especially in the medical world, the ad got rejected.

A number of times I kept kicking back and it finally got approved and this the client, they don't really want emails. They want phone calls...

Do not try to out-work me, out-smart me instead.

Over the holiday, I got a message from someone very important to me, and they're going through a good rebirth of business. This individual is experiencing some focus issues and said that one of their ambitions was to out-work me. My immediate response, because I care very much about this person, was "please don't do that. Instead out-smart me."

So I say to you, don't try to out-work me. Definitely not from a place of ego...

If you were doing a State of the Union today with a topic like podcasting, or really any, any topic cuz I know so many of the people in this group, how would you structure it if you were looking for, you know, pointing them to more of an agency application type of funnel, rather than like a info product or a lower end product? Or would you strictly do it for a positioning standpoint of kind of putting the entire industry, niche on notice from that perspective?
