Travis Makes Money

In this episode of Freestyle Friday with your host Travis Chappell, he discusses a subject that means a lot to him for obvious reasons: podcasting. He shares the three things that you need to start a podcast. Be sure to stick around for the bonus fourth step for success as well.  Episode Highlights:  Travis Chappell introduces the topic of podcasting.  Why do you need a ‘blue ocean’ for your podcast?  What does ‘blue ocean’ mean as it pertains to podcasts?  What type of mic does Travis use for his podcast?  Be into your podcast for the long-term.  You should get a coach when you start a podcast.  3 Key Points: Niches can become too specific to the point that they become limiting.   Use minimal equipment for your podcast.  Having a successful podcast takes patience.  Tweetable Quotes: “You need a blue ocean. A lot of other people will say it is your avatar, it's your ideal listener, it's your niche, whatever name you want to give it.” – Travis Chappell (Microphone) “This setup that you are looking at right here is just an ATR2100 USB from Audio Technica.” – Travis Chappell “The goal is to monetize quickly, and that is true. But not to the point where that is your only goal from the beginning.” – Travis Chappell Resources Mentioned:  Visit Travis’ website at http://www.buildyournetwork.co/ (Buildyournetwork.co)  Join the Build Your Network Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/byncommunity/ (BYN.media/fb) Join the Build Your Network University Facebook group here https://www.facebook.com/login/?next=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fgroups%2Fbynuniversity (byn.university) Leave a rating and review for the Build Your Network Podcast on https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/build-your-network/id1268488944 (iTunes) Watch Travis’ free masterclass on how to build the network of your dreams at https://threenetworkingsecrets.com/webinar-registration30876682 (threenetworkingsecrets.com) Get equity-free investments from Clearbanc at https://www.20mintermsheet.com/?utm_source=travis&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=pod2 (clearbanc.com/travis) Try ZipRecruiter for free at https://www.ziprecruiter.com/byn (ziprecruiter.com/byn) Download the Himalaya App in the https://apps.apple.com/us/app/podcast-audio-player-himalaya/id1275493456 (App Store) or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ximalaya.ting.himalaya&hl=en_US (Google Play) For information regarding your data privacy, visit https://www.acast.com/privacy (acast.com/privacy)Check out FranBridge Consulting for premier non-food franchise opportunities: travischappell.com/franbridgeOur Sponsors:* Check out Kinsta: https://kinsta.com Learn more about your ad choices.

During this episode, you will have access to some top-level networking advice from three highly experienced gentlemen: Dr. Mark Wade, Chief Scaling Officer at HustleandScale.com and the Creator of Virtual Summits Software, Brendan Kane, Author of OneMillionFollowers.comand Growth Hacker at Katie Couric Media, and David Meltzer CEO and Co-Founder of Sports 1 Marketing, Executive Producer & Judge of Entrepreneur Elevator Pitch and Host of The Playbook Podcast. Dr. Mark Wade, Brendan Kane, and David Meltzer share their advice for better relationship-building, how not to be that annoying person at industry events, and why you need to be adding value first and foremost.  Episode Highlights:  Travis Chappell introduces the accomplishments of Dr. Mark Wade, Brendan Kane, and David Meltzer. Why is networking so important to Dr. Mark Kane?  Relationships should be a value exchange.   What awkward experiences has Mark gone through with other people?  How did Brendan Kane get started in the entertainment industry?  How has making connections led to a bigger career opportunity?  Brendan shares how he connected with Taylor Swift.  Why does Brendan hate the term ‘networking?’ Think before you speak.  David Meltzer shares the two most important questions to ask for relationship-building.  Does David believe that who you know is more important than what you know? Is there a way that rubs David the wrong way when people try to connect with him?  What are the four ways to network?  3 Key Points: Always be relationship building and building upwards beyond your level.  Networking is about providing value to someone, not extracting something out of them.  Put faith in the future instead of putting faith in the past.  Tweetable Quotes: “You are either adding value or you are not.” – Dr. Mark Wade “Everything I do is connections-based. It is how I have had success over the course of my career, forging strong connections and providing value to those connections.” – Brendan Kane “There are two questions to build a relationship, one: starting with ‘how can I be of service? Provide value. Two: ask for help. Do you know anyone who can help me with this?” – David Meltzer Resources Mentioned:  Visit Travis’ website at http://www.buildyournetwork.co/ (Buildyournetwork.co)  Join the Build Your Network Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/byncommunity/ (BYN.media/fb) Join the Build Your Network University Facebook group here https://www.facebook.com/login/?next=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fgroups%2Fbynuniversity (byn.university) Leave a rating and review for the Build Your Network Podcast on https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/build-your-network/id1268488944 (iTunes) Watch Travis’ free masterclass on how to build the network of your dreams at https://threenetworkingsecrets.com/webinar-registration30876682 (threenetworkingsecrets.com) Get equity-free investments from Clearbanc at https://www.20mintermsheet.com/?utm_source=travis&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=pod2 (clearbanc.com/travis) Try ZipRecruiter for free at https://www.ziprecruiter.com/byn (ziprecruiter.com/byn) Download the Himalaya App in the https://apps.apple.com/us/app/podcast-audio-player-himalaya/id1275493456 (App Store) or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ximalaya.ting.himalaya&hl=en_US (Google Play) Dr. Mark Wade:Check out FranBridge Consulting for premier non-food franchise opportunities: travischappell.com/franbridgeOur Sponsors:* Check out Kinsta: https://kinsta.com Learn more about your ad choices.

This is the second part of the interview with Joel Marion, the co-founder and CMO of BioTrust Nutrition, with over $600 million in sales. In this section, Joel Marion shares how he transitioned from teaching in high school into the business that he runs now, how he connected with some of the top marketers in his space to achieve his many magnificent milestones, and how he scaled his supplement company from zero dollars to $100 million in sales in the first full calendar year. Joel also grew his email list from zero to 20 million subscribers, and an additional one up to 3 million subscribers.  Episode Highlights:  Travis Chappell introduces the accomplishments of Joel Marion. What are the best practices for building a large email list?  How do you create a good lead magnet?  Scale happens from cracking the ‘viral’ code or by paying for traffic. What is more important: what you know or who you know? Joel Marion got to know the top 20 vendors on ClickBank in his category. Be a likable person and work your way into important people’s lives by adding value. Many members of Joel’s business circle have transitioned into personal friends. What other professions would Joel like to get into?  If he could talk to anyone, dead or alive, who would Joel want to talk to?  How does he like to consume content?  Study what is working.  About 8 years ago, Joel made between $5,000-$6,000 per email send for his supplements with an email list of over $200,000. Does Joel have a morning routine?  Joel says he is good at making a list of things that will move the needle and getting them crossed off.  What is his go-to pump-up songs?  Is there something that Joel feels he is not good at?  3 Key Points: Nobody is signing up for a free newsletter at this point. It is way oversaturated.  Business is all relationships. You even have to build relationships with your customers. The launch of Joel’s health and fitness product led to becoming the largest launch in fitness history at that time, doing $350,000-$450,000. Tweetable Quotes: “Nobody wants to be on another email list. Period. But, if you’ve got a good enough ‘ethical bribe’ on the front and a ‘lead magnet’ then people will still give you their email address.” – Joel Marion “I knew the business that I was getting into, which was healthy and fitness publishing. So, I went to the largest marketplace for health and fitness publishers, which was ClickBank, ClickBank.com.” – Joel Marion “Your knowledge is useless unless you have people to support that.” – Joel Marion Resources Mentioned:  Visit Travis’ website at http://www.buildyournetwork.co/ (Buildyournetwork.co)  Join the Build Your Network Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/byncommunity/ (BYN.media/fb) Join the Build Your Network University Facebook group here https://www.facebook.com/login/?next=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fgroups%2Fbynuniversity (byn.university) Leave a rating and review for the Build Your Network Podcast on https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/build-your-network/id1268488944 (iTunes) Watch Travis’ free masterclass on how to build the network of your dreams at https://threenetworkingsecrets.com/webinar-registration30876682 (threenetworkingsecrets.com) Get equity-free investments from Clearbanc at https://www.20mintermsheet.com/?utm_source=travis&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=pod2 (clearbanc.com/travis) Try ZipRecruiter for free at https://www.acast.com/privacy (acast.com/privacy)Check out FranBridge Consulting for premier non-food franchise opportunities: travischappell.com/franbridgeOur Sponsors:* Check out Kinsta: https://kinsta.com Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of Freestyle Friday, your host Travis Chappell talks about how to get clarity in your goals. When was the last time you sat down and made sure you were still on track to hit your goals? Learn why it’s important to recalibrate early and often. Episode Highlights:  You have to ask yourself whether your goals are important to you. Take the time to ask yourself four questions: What’s the truth about where you are? Write down your one-year goals. Write down why these goals are important. Write down the capabilities you need in order to achieve your goals. You need to be aware that you may not currently be the person who can achieve your goals. Start on the trajectory you want to be on even if it doesn’t make sense in the here and now. Be honest with yourself when you set your goals. The more clarity you have in your life the more fulfilled you will be. 3 Key Points: Know the truth about where you are with your goals right now. Set goals in terms of looking back on the next year. Times of hardship are the reasons that you should stay on track and keep working toward your goals. Tweetable Quotes: “Too many people are chasing after something that other people think is important.” -Travis “Write down your goals as a year from now looking backward.” -Travis “If your why is strong enough you’ll find out the how.” -Travis Resources Mentioned: Visit Travis’ website at https://www.travischappell.com (https://www.travischappell.com) Visit http://travischappell.com/YouTube (TravisChappell.com/YouTube) and subscribe.

Chris Winfield, The Super Connector, Bedros Keuilian, founder of Fit Body Bootcamp, and Billy Gene from Billy Gene is Marketing talk to your host Travis Chappell about how to add value to those around you. Episode Highlights:  Chris Winfield Has more connections in the media world that just about anyone. Ask people questions about themselves and get to know them. Rarely there are cases where you won’t be able to help someone. Enthusiasm is really underrated - show up and care. Careers and money aren’t what makes you happy, it’s about the journey, not the circumstance. Bedros Keuilian Founder of $300 Million dollar franchise Fit Body Bootcamp. People stay complacent in mediocrity because they’re not willing to go out and explore. Bedros’ dad was so good at networking that he knew who to bribe and risk it all to get to the U.S. No matter what hardships you’re going through, keep your humor about you. When you don’t have financial resources you have to get resourceful. Billy Gene He didn’t feel like he had something to bring to the table at the beginning. Come to the table and have your thing that you’re an expert at. When you have an audience that’s something you can bring to the table too. Something you can offer is to do your service for free - just do it and hand it to them. The difference between making $45,000 a year and $200,000 a year is being a closer. 3 Key Points: Ask people questions, they like to talk about themselves and you will learn something. Adding value to others without expecting anything in return creates greatness To network with the people you want, you have to bring something to the table. Tweetable Quotes: “I want to get to know people and understand what they’re all about so I know how to help them.” -Chris “I’ve stood on the shoulders of giants that I’ve reached out to and helped.” -Bedros “Don’t be afraid to pay to be around someone, that you can afford them says it all.” -Billy Resources Mentioned: Visit Travis’ website at http://www.buildyournetwork.co/ (Buildyournetwork.co) Learn more about mentorships and masterminds for FREE at http://www.freemmcourse.com/join (freemmcourse.com/enroll) Customize the top 5 people in your network and level up your inner circle at http://travischappell.com/explode (travischappell.com/explode) Try ZipRecruiter for free at http://ziprecruiter.com/byn (ziprecruiter.com/byn) Connect with people who are difficult to reach with Meet Your Hero at http://travischappell.com/hero (travischappell.com/hero) Download the Himalaya App in the https://apps.apple.com/us/app/podcast-audio-player-himalaya/id1275493456 (App Store) or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ximalaya.ting.himalaya&hl=en_US (Google Play) For information regarding your data privacy, visit https://www.acast.com/privacy (acast.com/privacy)Check out FranBridge Consulting for premier non-food franchise opportunities: travischappell.com/franbridgeOur Sponsors:* Check out Kinsta: https://kinsta.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Your host Travis Chappell reviews one of the best networking books he’s ever read, How to Get a Meeting with Anyone. The book has practical strategy you can implement right away. The book gives away some of the behind the scenes secret stuff. Episode Highlights:  The book is very similar to everything Travis teaches but written more for C-level executives and salesmen looking to get to those execs. Travis is about the newer ways of building relationships. Contact marketing campaigns can have 100% success rates. You need to do your research - send people personalized things that always make it through. Executive assistants are your friends, not your enemies. It’s not favor for favor, you still need to add value with no expectation of return. Key Points: Contact marketing and building relationships can work the same way. Everyone is looking for the short cut, do your research. Make sure that you respect the hierarchy that’s in place and be valuable to the executive assistants. Tweetable Quotes: “Most marketing campaigns have around a 1% success rate, so anything more than that should draw your attention.” -Travis “It’s important to send people something specific to get your foot in the door.” -Travis “It’s not just a numbers game, it’s a quality game.” -Travis Resources Mentioned: Visit Travis’ website at https://www.travischappell.com (https://www.travischappell.com) Visit http://travischappell.com/YouTube (TravisChappell.com/YouTube) and subscribe.
