On today’s show, I’m joined by my friend Brandon Lucero, from SoldWithVideo.com. You may recognize Brandon’s name from when he was a guest on the podcast before, back on Episode #119.  ‍‍Cut your lead gen costs in HALF with my $37 mini-course–NOW only $17!Visit The Art of Online Business website for Facebook Ads help‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍I asked him to come back to talk about a concept that he calls “thought reversal”, and he’ll be telling us how he uses this principle in a Facebook ads strategy. Although I knew what I wanted us to talk about going into this episode, I wasn’t exactly sure where this conversation would go. After we finished recording though episode I was really pumped to share it with you, and it’s become one of my favorite episodes we’ve done here on the show.Not only does Brandon break down what thought reversal is here, he reveals why it’s so effective for marketing and positioning a business and brand. He uses it a ton in his own business and the businesses of his clients, and I think this is something that everyone should be using in their marketing. I know I can even step up my own game in this area, so I took a ton from this episode and I hope you do as well.‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍Please click here to give an honest Rating/Review for the show on iTunes!

On today’s show, I’m joined by my friend Craig Ballantyne, who was actually one of my original mentors.  ‍‍Cut your lead gen costs in HALF with my $37 mini-course–NOW only $17!Visit The Art of Online Business website for Facebook Ads help‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍I started following Craig and his work way back in 2010, which seems like forever in the online world and when I was trying to figure the online business world out, I went to a few of Craig’s workshops. Since then I’ve connected more with him and have really gotten to know him much better. Craig used to be in the fitness space with his brand Turbulence Training, and then he started a brand called Internet Independence. Since then Craig’s gone through a big shift in his business and he is now the owner of the popular website, EarlyToRise.com.Most recently Craig’s published a book called The Perfect Day Formula. He now teaches people how to have a more productive day in both their business and personal lives. He does in-person Perfect Day Workshops, where participants get to spend the day with him and then get follow-up accountability and coaching for 12 months. This investment starts at $5,000 and he’s sold over $500,000 worth of these packages using Instagram stories, which he’ll talk about in this episode.We cover a lot here and I ask Craig to share the lessons he’s learned from his own entrepreneurial journey because he’s done so many things over the years. He shares why he thinks that Instagram direct messages are the “new email list”, his tips for having more engaging Instagram Stories, and ways that you can specifically track how you’re doing with them. He also reveals how you can expand your network if you have “introverted tendencies”, overcoming anxiety as an entrepreneur and his #1 productivity tip for entrepreneurs.  You’re also going to hear why Craig did this interview with his eyes closed, which you won’t want to miss.‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍Please click here to give an honest Rating/Review for the show on iTunes!

On today’s show, I have another strategy session call, this time with Sarah Young of BizTemplateBabe.com, which was just started in January of this year.  ‍‍Cut your lead gen costs in HALF with my $37 mini-course–NOW only $17!Visit The Art of Online Business website for Facebook Ads help‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍Through her site, Sarah offers fully editable designer templates and her clients simple, fun and affordable branding options. You’ll hear how last year Sarah was actually doing completely something different through a blog for moms. This blog had a big following but she decided to transition when she was feeling burnt out and looking for a change. Sarah’s background is actually in interior and graphic design, and she’s found a way to use her skills and experience to help other business owners with their branding.What she’s discovered though is that she’s targeting a much different audience now and starting from scratch, so our call today focuses on how she get qualified business owners as clients of her new venture. If you go to Sarah’s Etsy store you’ll see that she’s already created a large amount of content and suites of products, and the strategies and ideas that we discuss in this episode are really just ways to use the content she already has and is creating on a regular basis, to really grow her business.‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍Please click here to give an honest Rating/Review for the show on iTunes!

On the show today I’m going to be sharing with you the biggest mistake that I see people making, including those new to Facebook ads and experienced Facebook ad managers.  ‍‍Cut your lead gen costs in HALF with my $37 mini-course–NOW only $17!Visit The Art of Online Business website for Facebook Ads help‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍This mistake is really keeping them from the results they want to be achieving with their ads, notably inexpensive leads and sales. If you’ve read the book The One Thing by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan, you know that the concept of the book is to determine what is the one thing that you can do, that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary. That’s really what we’ll be talking about here as it applies to Facebook ads.Specifically, you’re going to hear why taking the time to fully understand your target audience on a holistic level before running your ads is critical to setting yourself up for success with your Facebook ads.‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍Please click here to give an honest Rating/Review for the show on iTunes!

On the show today I’m joined by a woman named Devani Freeman who runs a social media marketing business here in San Diego called Heart Centered Social where she works with both online and local businesses. ‍‍Cut your lead gen costs in HALF with my $37 mini-course–NOW only $17!Visit The Art of Online Business website for Facebook Ads help‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍A big part of her business is managing FB ads for businesses and one area where she’s found a lot of success is using Facebook ads to drive into a  5-day challenge. And I asked her to come onto the show to share some case studies of challenges she’s run for her own business as well as those of her clients. I really like the strategy that Devani uses, because it’s a pretty straightforward one that anyone can use, and best of all, a large ad budget isn’t needed. ‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍Please click here to give an honest Rating/Review for the show on iTunes!

On today’s episode, my guest and I will be talking all about GDPR. What exactly is it, and does it affect you?  ‍‍Cut your lead gen costs in HALF with my $37 mini-course–NOW only $17!Visit The Art of Online Business website for Facebook Ads help‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍I’ve invited on my friend Suzanne Dibble, who’s a business law expert in the UK, to break down what you need to know and do about the EU’s new General Data Protection Regulation. It seems as though not many people in the United States are talking about GDPR, but for those of us with online businesses, this is something we need to understand and act on. We’ll be covering how it applies to Facebook ads and the Facebook pixel, and Suzanne will be sharing the steps we need to take to be GDPR compliant. She’ll also reveal what effect it has on how we collect opt-ins, as well as what we need to consider with our email CRMs and other software we use daily in business. There are a lot of legal terms in this episode, but Suzanne provides all the resources we need to get our heads around this topic. It’s such an important discussion to have, because I think this is going to be the new norm for business and data protection going forward.‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍Please click here to give an honest Rating/Review for the show on iTunes!
