Improve your Opt-In Rate with Copywriter Ian Stanley

How do you turn cold traffic into hot buyers? Ian Stanley is the Founder of Almost Passive Income and he's getting over 80% conversion (almost unheard of) using a new case study. So, how's he getting such a great opt-in rate?Ian's 'secrets' aren't necessarily all that new, but they are important reminders for those digital marketers who sometimes want to believe that their new approach will work better. The advice begins with ensuring that your ad copy is similar to your offer's landing page. Congruency is a big buzzword for Ian and this continues with the personalized welcome email that arrives soon after you opt into the offer. And then the deal breaker is that you can expect to see results in a short six hours. TDMs Mark de Grasse and Ian Stanley are also discussing the importance of matching the medium to the message and finding congruent ways that they will actually buy. Again, it may seem obvious, but if they're watching you on YouTube, they're more likely to pay for a webinar than download an ebook. Learn about the value of other people's lists, the right way to go about creating effective ad copy that actually generates sales, why having a great offer that people want to buy in the first place, and Ian's 'chaos approach' to making new ads in this frank discussion that is all about getting your marketing fundamentals right before taking on the idea of ‘advanced fundamentals’.  Ian Stanley is the Founder of Almost Passive Income. He is The $100M+ Email Copywriting Mentor and you can find him on Instagram if you're looking to make money sending emails or visit standupconversions.com.Key Takeaways:01:51 Why do Ian's email campaigns work so well?04:20 Shooting Instagram video ads with wild backgrounds08:40 The importance of the offer and the welcome email09:50 Appreciating congruency between the offer, the landing page, and the welcome email12:50 What people opt-in for is what they tend to buy18:30 What is Ian's approach for new clients?21:20 Do you have something people really want to opt-in for?26:35 Understanding the fundamentals before you try the advanced fundamentals30:00 Mixing up the same ads with different guest actors (testing what works)32:40 The chaos approach to creating new ads 34:50 Getting rid of your expectations before you publish35:45 Why testing is so important - and building off of thatConnect with Ian Stanley:- Website - https://standupconversions.com/stories9375923- Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/almostpassiveincome/?hl=en- Ian’s Book - Confessions of a Persuasion Hitman: The Unusual Rules I Learned From Selling Over $100,000,000 of Products and ServicesBe sure to subscribe to the podcast at: https://www.digitalmarketer.com/podcast/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/digitalmarketerInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/digitalmarketer/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/digital-marketer/This Month's Sponsors:Conversion Fanatics - Conversion Rate Optimization AgencyGet 50% Off Monthly Blog Writing Service - BKA Content More Resources from Scalable[Free Guide & Assessment] 7 Levels of ScaleFREE EPIC Challenge More Shows You'll LovePerpetual Traffic - The #1 podcast for learning paid traffic and improving your conversions!Business Lunch - Sit down every week with some of the most successful people in the world.

Building Authority through Email with Igor Kheifets

Igor's insight into helping us recognize that email is the platform that puts people in the mood for any kind of financial transaction is genius. After all, wouldn't you rather be transacting in sales from an email newsletter first thing in the morning than earning 'likes' from your latest social media post?Also, it's about delivering educational, entertaining content that positions you as the authority in your niche so that when your subscriber is ready to pull the trigger on what you're offering, you are their 'go-to' person.Igor's in conversation with TDMs Mark de Grasse and they're talking about the art and science of getting a potential prospect to give you their email address so that you can give them information on your business, follow up with them over time, and then convert them into a customer and (hopefully) repeat buyer.There's also advice on how to grow your list through 'transferability' and getting mentions (landing page links) on other people's lists. It's about changing the scarcity mindset that a marketer may be prone to adopting in believing that you're competing for that one person's email address, and appreciating that people can be on several lists at once. Learn how to better guarantee sales results by targeting people with something they're already interested in by following Igor's succinct advice on email list building for both beginners and marketing pros alike! Igor Kheifets is an Amazon best-selling author of List Building Lifestyle: Confessions of an Email Millionaire and the founder of the ‘List Building Lifestyle’, an online academy training people how to become financially free with email marketing.Check out igorsbook.com and get a free hard copy of his Amazon Best-Selling Book + $3,208 in free bonuses, which includes the digital and audio copies, plus courses and templates to start building your email list today.Key Takeaways:01:38 What qualifies as an expert these days?02:18 What is list building?02:30 Why email is the preferred form of marketing communication04:55 Becoming the 'go to' authority by building up email communication with clients06:18 How your list members can remain dormant for years – and that's okay08:50 What platform is best for sales first thing in the day?10:00 Why transacting in sales (via email) beats transacting in 'likes' on socials12:00 How your email portal is already being used for any financial transaction 14:49 How do you build your email list?17:10 The value in 'renting out' someone else's list 20:50 What do you send your customers every day? 23:30 Telling your own story to your email list24:48 Being educational and entertaining with your emailsResources:Click here for a Free Book + $3251.88 in Bonuses https://institute.listbuildinglifestyle.com/product/free-book/Connect with Igor Kheifets:Website - https://listbuildinglifestyle.com/YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/IgorKheifetsBe sure to subscribe to the podcast at: https://www.digitalmarketer.com/podcast/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/digitalmarketerInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/digitalmarketer/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/digital-marketer/This Month's Sponsors:Conversion Fanatics - Conversion Rate Optimization AgencyGet 50% Off Monthly Blog Writing Service - BKA Content More Resources from Scalable[Free Guide & Assessment] 7 Levels of ScaleFREE EPIC Challenge More Shows You'll LovePerpetual Traffic - The #1 podcast for learning paid traffic and improving your conversions!Business Lunch - Sit down every week with some of the most successful people in the world.

A Copy Blueprint for Long-Term Marketing Success with Jon Reyes

Is there a simple, proven approach to copywriting that can be integrated successfully into marketing campaigns and then automated ad infinitum? Jon Reyes believes there is. Jon is the owner of Copy Blueprints.com and he has built a tried and tested system around copywriting that is cohesive with your marketing plans. It comes down to three simple strategies: marketing and writing for conversions, marketing and writing for your brand voice, and marketing and writing to give insanely good value to your audience. Sure, this does differ, as health and wellness strategies will differ from entrepreneurial and personal growth advice, but ultimately it boils down to these three approaches that, once grasped, can be automated (forever!)So, if your influencer is big on brand voice, you focus on that. If your product is strong, you focus on conversions. But what happens when an influencer plateaus? Do they reveal personal details about their lives and show their imperfections to grow their audience? What about products like Apple that attract and repel? Is direct marketing effective and how does Jon evaluate a company's efforts through his systematic approach?Today's TDM is a lesson in brand voice (how you want to be portrayed versus what your audience reacts to) and provides answers to the questions above. It is a timely reminder of the importance of consistent messaging in your copy-driven marketing. From working with marketing masterminds to 'up and coming gurus', Jon has seen it all and stands by his experience. Making money and satisfying your clientele is an easier juggling act with Jon's copywriting blueprint for success.Jon Reyes is a freelance copywriter, CRO specialist, and the owner of Copy Blueprints.comJon is responsible for multiple 8-figures in sales for health and wellness experts, influencers, and info-marketers. He has built an entire system around copywriting that is cohesive with your marketing plans. Get the tried-and-tested "Shortcut" to a 6-Figure Income as a part-time copywriter by visiting www.copyblueprints.com and see how transforming "The Written Word" into measurable, explosive profits can rock your world.Key Takeaways:01:10 What does a cohesive approach to copywriting look like?03:10 What are some examples of how Jon's approach has worked?05:10 What happens when an influencer plateaus?06:50 How does Jon measure direct response marketing campaigns?08:40 The value of marketing consistency09:35 How do you describe a brand voice?12:35 Is your brand 'pretending'? Be genuine!13:55 How do you translate an authentic voice into conversions? 15:35 Why influencing can become a lazy popularity contest18:10 What happens when you go for conversions too aggressively?19:35 How to create a value message that keeps your customers for a long time?24:20 How to pinpoint your values – and then scale quicklyConnect with Jon Reyes:Website - Copywriters' Masterclass | Rockstar Conversions - https://www.jonreyes.net/6-figuresBe sure to subscribe to the podcast at: https://www.digitalmarketer.com/podcast/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/digitalmarketerInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/digitalmarketer/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/digital-marketer/This Month's Sponsors:Conversion Fanatics - Conversion Rate Optimization AgencyGet 50% Off Monthly Blog Writing Service - BKA Content More Resources from Scalable[Free Guide & Assessment] 7 Levels of ScaleFREE EPIC Challenge More Shows You'll LovePerpetual Traffic - The #1 podcast for learning paid traffic and improving your conversions!Business Lunch - Sit down every week with some of the most successful people in the world.

Creating Persuasive, Promptless AI-Driven Copy with Jon Benson

In the tsunami of open-source AI that has engulfed us all, who's riding the wave's crest with the right prompts to generate in-context learning from models like ChatGPT4 that creates effective copy? Arguably, it's Jon Benson, inventor of the VSL (Video Sales Letter) and founder of CopyPro, an AI-driven app that is so intuitive it promises that it will soon be promptless.Jon has been pioneering the art of copywriting in video content for the better part of his career and learning AI for the past six years. In today's episode of TDM with host Mark de Grasse, Jon is trumpeting the importance of copywriting and riffing on its evolution since Mad Men and its halcyon heydays. There is a vanguard he describes where brilliant, human copywriting meets eager-to-learn AI. Here, at this cutting edge, sits a quiet appreciation for the art and science of persuasion. A skill AI has yet to master. This is good news for copywriters that are out there, learning AI in the dark, figuring out how AI thinks through the structure of language, and so becoming ever practical and valuable for everyday folk like us digital marketers.Jon promises that the launch of his application is indeed going to be better than working in the mines of ChapGPT and other open-source AI apps that are just warp-speed predictive text engines, still lacking the finesse of people-powered persuasion. All of this makes for compelling TDM content and frankly, it's hard not to be persuaded by his passion, his perspective, and his prompt(less) arrival in AI copywriting country. This one's for all you diehard copywriters out there!

Embracing the Experience of Google's new EEAT Search Engine with Julia McCoy

What is Google's new generative AI going to mean for you and your business? There are big happenings in the world of AI, none more so than Google's recent I/O keynote, where they unveiled a whole new search model (pretty much). And so if you want to eat, you're going to need to learn to EEAT. Extra emphasis on the first E.

Rather, if you want the high ranking, you'll need to prove that you jumped out of the plane!With 80% of the world's internet traffic and $162 billion in revenue in 2022 from search alone, Google knows that it needs to drive traffic back to its publishers. And so, they're rewarding content creators who combine their Expertise with actual Experience. This is good news for marketers and great news for content creators worrying about the AI wolf at the door. Julia McCoy is reminding the TDM audience that having a presence, choosing a niche, and sharing lots of content within that niche matters more than ever. Host Mark de Grasse is throwing in some measured skepticism about whether or not Google will be swiping our content anyway and what will happen if their plan doesn't work. All of this makes for engaging content on how we can be an E (expert) rather than a C (chatbot) in this AI-crazy world. Julia McCoy is the President of Content at Scale and is a bonafide AI Expert with added Experience. Content at Scale is the world’s fastest-growing AI writing platform for SEO marketers. A go-to resource for marketers, agencies, publishers, and content freelancers looking to step into the new world of AI with knowledge and integrity, Content at Scale helps marketers, agencies, publishers, and content freelancers adapt to AI content without losing the human touch. *Check out Episode 322 of The DigitalMarketer, which featured an interview with Content at Scale’s Founder, Justin McGill.Key Takeaways:01:20 What is Google generative AI all about? 08:58 What examples were highlighted at Google's IO keynote?10:20 Can we trust Google? 11:55 How hard will it be to be featured as an expert contributor? 18:30 Will Google's new approach work for the average person?19:30 Will Google care how we create our content (using AI)? 22:00 Google's struggles as an 'old' company23:15 Understanding what Google means by 'Experience'26:20 How will Google's tracking work? 29:00 How to tie your advertisers into your content 31:00 How is Google AI going to appease its publishers? 31:50 How do I publish content to get ahead of Google generative AI?34:10 Why content creators will still be valuable36:00 The value of identifying your unique content style39:50 Does domain authority still matter?41:00 The advent of VR and a future marketer's paradiseConnect with Julia McCoy:Website - Content at Scale - https://contentatscale.ai/LinkedIn - Julia McCoy - President - Content at Scale | LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/juliaemccoyBe sure to subscribe to the podcast at: https://www.digitalmarketer.com/podcast/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/digitalmarketerInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/digitalmarketer/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/digital-marketer/This Month's Sponsors:Conversion Fanatics - Conversion Rate Optimization AgencyGet 50% Off Monthly Blog Writing Service - BKA Content More Resources from Scalable[Free Guide & Assessment] 7 Levels of ScaleFREE EPIC Challenge More Shows You'll LovePerpetual Traffic - The #1 podcast for learning paid traffic and improving your conversions!Business Lunch - Sit down every week with some of the most successful people in the world.
