Do you know that guy I’m pictured with? Well if you don’t, that guy’s name is Vince Reed. He is a Lead Generation expert and a millionaire and this past weekend I was up close & personal with him.
His company, The Internet Traffic Factory, hosted a Private Mastermind event in Irvine, CA. And when I say a Private Mastermind Group I mean private. There were only about 25 of us there. We got to really learn what his company does on daily basis to generate the 100’s & 1000’s of leads they are getting. We were able to network with other successful marketers, consultants, business owners, and even people just starting out. We even got a chance to speak to the group in front of this expert & millionaire!
Me speaking to the Private Mastermind Group
I learned so many things this weekend it was almost overwhelming. But, what I can say is I came back and IMMEDIATELY started putting the things I learned to action and my business (consulting & community) have been growing every single day.
I wanted to pull some of the key takeaways I learned from this Millionaire, Vince Reed, because I think these are basic concepts every entrepreneur & business owner should know.
Takeaway #1- Do You Know What is Going On Around You?
One thing we learned is in order to really grow your business you need to keep up with the business world around you. Now I know for generations, TV has been the source of people’s entertainment & information; however, things are rapidly changing. There has been a study that shows more people are watching livestreams online then watching actual TV. For example, more people watched the debate(s) via CNN live stream then on TV. Soon, cable will be obsolete! OK it wont fully be gone, but a lot of people I talk to forego cable for streaming platforms such as Netflix, Hulu, & even go to Youtube for their information. So, if online is the place to be shouldn’t you be in front of those eyes to get business? Shouldn’t you be that source of information that someone is Youtubing or Googling? Something I wrote down that really stuck with me is: “The Apps on your phone are the networks, and you are the show.” So, what are your ratings going to be? Are you going to have one season, or are you going to stick with the trends around you and last for years?
Takeaway #2- What Is Your Message?
So, say you already knew that online is the new way to gather information… are you properly utilizing it? Vince taught us that videos are converting into leads then customers way higher these days but so many people misuse it. For example, Facebook Live has become to the new big thing. There have been many platforms such as Ustream & Periscope for a while now, but, with such the larger platform that Facebook has, this feature has been quite the new phenomenon. So many times you see people go live and doing absolutely NOTHING. They’ll get on and talk about their day, or just be listening to music, just trying to give you a glimpse into their life with no clear information or message. That’s great if you aren’t trying to run a business, but if you are you have to learn the power of Video Marketing and how to properly do it (I talk about that in my Video Marketing Master Class). If you are going live and not offering your product or service, you’re wasting your time and others who could’ve benefited from your business. And the beauty of it is it doesn’t have to even be your direct product, it can be someone else’s that you get paid from, but it’s still helping someone solve their problem.
Takeaway #3- How Do You Spread this Message?
Now you know what’s going on in the business world around you, and you have a message, now what? Well, now all you need to do is create the content. Content does not only have to be video, it can be blogs, podcasts, webinars, even live streams. But, here’s what myself and many others learned in that Mastermind, you have to be consistent. You can’t just get on every few weeks sharing content, it needs to be a schedule. For example, everyday on my schedule I have “create content.” Many times it’s in the form of video and I put it on several platforms & send it to my email lists. This is called free traffic. I’m staying consistent in giving information and offering people my services. You have to be consistent so people place you as an expert in your niche/field and think of you to solve their problem. But, what Vince taught me is a way to get my content in front of way more eyes. It’s called Paid For Advertising. It’s instant, more targeted, and guaranteed leads for your business. One of the best ones is Video Facebook Ads. The beauty of it is you can get leads because Facebook will build you a list automatically and you can use that list for future ads. So, it takes the work of having to organically build a list. Also, you can even get video views as little as a penny, meaning less money spent and more money made. It’s a brilliant marketing system.
Takeway #4- They Bought Into the Message, Now What?
If you are consistent with your content & have even gained Free & Paid For Traffic, you should be booming in your business, right? Yes and no? Once you have people who are ready to listen to what you have to say and want to learn more where do they go? What do they do now? This is where Capture Pages, or Sales Funnels come into play. You have leads who have trusted you enough and want you to help them solve their problem, so send them over to a capture page and give them a clear call to action. This can be them giving their name & email for a free video you created about their problem, or a free ebook written to help solve their problem, or even a free book they just have to pay shipping and handling. But one of the most powerful call to actions that has been proven to get the most leads, is webinars. If you aren’t doing webinars you are missing out on tons of sales monthly, weekly, and even daily for your business. Don’t think people will listen? You would be surprised, there was something you said in your content that led them to your capture page, so all you need to do is give them more value on the webinar then close the deal.
These 4 takeaways aren’t even a fraction of the information I learned from that Private Mastermind Group. This just scratched the surface. I actually want to go deeper into my notes and share them with people who are serious about taking their business to the next level but don’t know how. Yes, i did pay $100’s of dollars for this event, but Vince helped me, so it is my duty to help the people.
With that being said, tonight October 20th at 9pm EST, I will be hosting an 100{9c07b6efe7cbd1d52fea14c4565a33236322ca35bce86e7ebdfaac3636adbd59} Free Webinar, sharing “How to Use Video Facebook Ads to get 10-20 leads a day & convert them into long time buyers” I have been personally implementing these techniques I was taught and let’s just say I don’t speak on anything I haven’t done myself. So if you want to be a part of my own private Mastermind, simply follow the link ==> Webinar Link and enter your name and email. I say it’s my own Private Mastermind because we only are taking 100 people, and we are already halfway full.
Feel free to share this blog & webinar with someone you know may benefit & leave a comment below. I look forward to seeing you tonight at 9pm EST.
