It’s how a mere used a combination of cover, songs and original songs, a unique $ 5 a day. Facebook strategy and distro kid to build a fanbase of over 30,000 monthly listeners on Spotify is actually well above that I just can’t remember the number check this out so tell me more about because one of the things that baffled me, I wouldn’t say baffled, but what I loved because I didn’t hear other artists talk about doing something like this and once again just speaks to the assistants II was you’re a $ 5 a day, Facebook strategy.
I did that in the early days so like I, I think I when I when I when I spoke to a year ago. I think that’s what I was doing bad. So I did that for about three months yeah and I’m like you know what I’m just going to, let it run like people like the song, I’m just going to just let it run and see what happens and honestly, like I kind of forgot about it, and I just let it run in the background and then after three months like I did build up when I looked back, I’m like wow and actually built me up a little bit of an audience and a fanbase and people were checking as I was dropping those songs.
Every Monday, my streams on Spotify were starting to slowly creep up and then I dropped a cover. A sorry, a mash-up I did of to me a song into you, ya know, and I mashed it with russa song, wife, you loved, like really exploded. You know so like people like that one just hit all the algorithms. It went crazy and I think it’s almost at half a million streams now on Spotify. Oh that brings a question to my head.
So that’s essentially a remix cover I’ve been axed before, and this isn’t really something I get into as far as some of the legality type things, but I’ve been eggs when you put a cover on a platform like Spotify, what does that do for you? Like? Can you do that? Have you gotten any kind of strikes or anything like that? No, I haven’t because well with district kid, the good thing is, and I would use just her kid for any artists reading they acquire the cover license for you, so you’re covered and keep in mind like there’s two licenses right, you have master recording and you have Song and you have the copyright, which is the the writing of the song.
So I don’t own the writing of the song, but I own my master, which is the version of the song that I created. So I’m allowed to use that and put it like. I’r only getting master revenue, so Spotify also pays publishing royalties to the to the songwriters that wrote the song right, so they would be getting the backend royalties that way which don’t come to me because it’s a cover. I didn’t write the song, but I created that arrangement of it and I created that recording.
So both sides, like just a songwriter and everybody who’s covering my song, is yeah. Oh there’s tons of covers on Spotify like yeah, like there’s artists, who only have covers on Spotify. It’s just you just have to buy the license right. You can do it through district head and there’s a company called louder. You can do it through them. Boom cool has their service too, or you can use it. I don’t use to incur.
The reason for me is not because they’re not a good company, but because I release so much music that it was cost prohibitive. Like I like, I would have been paying what five thousand dollars a year just a tune core and it just didn’t make any sense, gachi so um, just to hone in on my process a little bit when it comes to district kid and how they kind of Obtained the rights for you so you’re saying once you submit a song, their algorithms, pretty much picks up on the fact that it’s a cover and they obtain it or do you submit and let them know that it’s a cover.
So when you, when you choose the option, they ask you district ritas is a cover and then you click. Yes, it’s a cover and then they ask you who the original songwriter is then sorry who the original artist is and then they go and obtain the license for you. So I like that better because it’s less work for me now I don’t have to use a third party to go, get a license. You can buy a license yourself.
You can just go to louder, comm and buy one but hey anything extra. They just handle the money. No, you do have to pay, so you have to pay. I think it’s a dollar a month to have the cover license, so it can’t add up if you’re going to keep it up there. It’s not bad. It’s twelve bucks a year. You know so well, then, for the service they’re providing like now, you have peace of mind right. You don’t have to worry about getting a license and worrying about all that.
I’d rather just pay the twelve bucks and not worry you’re sure, especially as an artist I mean primarily I’m already doing too much work. Um and that’s like one less thing for me to do. You know yeah all right, as you guys can see that consistency. First of all and foremost, is what I want you guys to focus on when it comes to his $ 5, a day, Facebook strategy. That’s so much better than just doing one week right and just going really hard on some Facebook Ads.
He did $ 5 a day that allows him to stay consistent and you have to do one dollar a day. It’s something just worth trying out over time and you have to do one dollar a day over 60 days or 90 days. Do whatever you can. So you can only collect the data over time within your budget, so you can get that information and learn how to make even more specific ads for yourself to utilize. But then, of course, a big part of his strategy, which is huge when it comes to the peace of mind that district 8 offered by making it so easy for him to leverage covers, because we all know how to do YouTube covers right.
A lot of people can make that happen quickly, but when it comes to covers on Spotify, I always got a lot of questions about it. Not it necessarily know how to answer that question, and I didn’t necessarily have time to figure it out or ask somebody. So not only is it dope, they they make it super easy, because a lot of artists need peace of mind. They don’t want to town a bit like focus on all this stuff when you’re, just trying to you know being Indian grind your way up into a better situation, but it’s also relatively inexpensive.
But Mary you’re going to mention that in his interview saying you know if he was using chunk or it would have been cost prohibitive for his particular strategy and with all that being said, a lot of people have been telling me for a minute. Your brain way. You should do a podcast, you should do a podcast and I’m strongly considering it in some form of fashion, and I decided that if it happens, it will definitely happen on distro kid.
I actually already have an account, and I’m filling my way through the system and with all of the good things I’ve heard about it when knowing so many people who are using it, I felt comfortable go ahead and get a discount code for you guys and offer It up to you at all for 7 % off your first year of membership with district kid.

Now your next question may be what is HootSuite? It’s a social media management system and what that means is you can pre-plan your posts and have them all scheduled out so that they post. So you could take a day and plan out all your posts for Facebook or Instagram or Twitter, whichever platform that you’re using and HootSuite will post them for you each day.
So you don’t have to keep thinking about it. So you kind of like when your own business in line you want to chunk your work. You want to concentrate on one thing at a time: that’s kind of a little bonus tip for you and then once you plan all that posting out, you don’t have to think about it again until the next month, if that makes sense, so let me go over Some of the features – and you can decide if this is right for you now.
Obviously I’ve got a playlist. I would like you to hit that link if you’re, researching and you’re trying to look at different ones. I am building that playlist in my blog. I want to go over various social media platforms so that you management platform so that you can go in and pick the one that’s right for you. Many people use it themselves and sometimes they start a business and managing stuff for other people.
So that’s. What’s really cool about these tools, you can use them for your own business or you can actually create a business. There are so many ways to make money online. It is unbelievable. Nobody out there should be without money. If you have a computer and Wi-Fi because you can make money online in so many ways anyway, let’s stick with HootSuite I’ll, introduce myself. My name is Vanessa du Bellay and my blog is called affiliate marketing mastery.
I want you to take your life back and start your own business and create your own income until you, you know even possibly have a passive income so that you don’t have to be a slave to somebody else. That’s my passion and I would love that for everybody. So that’s why I’m here? Alright, let’s talk about HootSuite these some of the features they do have a free plan, most tools that you see out there will give you an opportunity to test it and check it out, and I think that’s great because gives you the opportunity to check out different Plans it can be time-consuming, but before you start spending money, you want to make sure it’s the right plan for you and I don’t blame you.
I was the same way every every penny that you have. You want to make sure you’re investing in to help grow. Your business and you’re you’re smart about it now HootSuite does have a free version, the free version you can put use to social media profiles. For instance, if you have an Instagram account and you post on Facebook, you can plan out all of your posts for only two different profiles. Okay, then, to get more, you have to start paying money and I’m going to pull that up for you a minute.
But let’s talk about the pro account. A lot of people. Yes, go in check out the free version, but sometimes they’re really limited like if you are only posting on two platforms. They also only let you schedule 30 posts and that’s nice, but you only get to go a month out. If you are a little bit more of a planner and you want to do more, then you might want to pay for the pro version and it’s less than $ 10 a month.
I personally used to start out with all those free accounts, but now I kind of go into that lower one, because I do have more features and it does make your life easier now. What does the pro account do you have? It gives you an unlimited number of social profiles and then you can actually add one team member and has analytic reporting it’ll go in and tell you hey. This is the best time for you to post, or maybe some of these keywords that you’re using are really good, or maybe some of them aren’t.
So it’s giving you some analytics and use some algorithms in there as well. The nice thing the bad thing about the free account as opposed to maybe the pro account or more is you can’t do a lot of advanced scheduling like I said, you’re limited and also you can’t bring in a team member. So why would you want a team member? Well, if your business is building – or maybe you post a lot, you could hire a virtual assistant, or maybe one of your teenage children or a friend or somebody in the family to come in and post for you and the problem with that.
Is they can’t, you can’t add them to your account on the free account or adjust the pro account? So you you have to decide. What do I need from this platform? What do I need with my posting? I would suggest writing all that down before you go out and doing your research. Now you may say you know what I’m just checking them out. I’r going to do the free versions, that’s fine, but definitely if you already know you have a virtual assistant hired and you have them helping you, then you definitely need to look at the account that gives you the option to do that.
Now, let’s go ahead and bring up the pricing on HootSuite, as of today it does change. I have talked about HootSuite before and noticed. Oh my gosh. All the pricing has already changed. They used to give you free, 5 free social profiles and they lowered it down to two. So let’s go ahead and pull that up. I took it today as of today’s date off of their platform. They have what they call a the $ 29 account where you can have 10 social profiles.
Ok and unlimited scheduling, so you might think well. Why would I want unlimited scheduling honestly, if you could schedule out like six months worth of posts and and leave it there? It would be so easy now, you might say. Oh my gosh, that’s a lot well, I know people that will schedule out 2 months worth and then they rotate those same two months worth of posts now think about it. Not every person is going to see every one of your posts on Instagram every single day.
So if you, if you schedule out a rotation of posts of 2 months or 3 months, even if somebody’s reading, you constantly they’re not going to remember what you post at 90 days ago. So that’s what makes it nice for the unlimited scheduling that you can go in and recycle the posts you don’t have to come up with a year’s worth of stuff. So that’s one thing to look for it. For obviously it says everything is included from the free plan which wasn’t a lot, but you do get some metrics and you get to do some ad spending on there as well.
I’r not sitting here and I’m going to promote the hundred and twenty-nine and all that most of my followers are new, and I just want you to see that you can go in for free and check these out. So that’s basically that up if you up it above the pro account, you can pay as much as thirty dollars a month, and I just want you to see the different programs here and if you go down, obviously they get pretty big if you’re looking at starting Your own business – this is something that you would need you could actually post for other people, and I want to point that out because I definitely am an advocate for people making money online and I like to give you different ideas of what you can do.
So if you love to post and you’re good at it, you’re like how can I make money posting? Well, you can you can start your own agency and start posting for other people, and you would use a social media management system to keep track of everything. And here you can have 35 different profiles, five users and up to ten. Alright, let’s go back, and let me just give you a couple features. One of the features I like about HootSuite is I’m very visual and I like how, if I can see all of my different platforms, so here’s a picture here, you can actually pull it all up at once and actually see visually what you’re, what you’re posting? What’s coming up and what it looks like from one platform to the other – and I like that feature because again, I’m a more global visual learner and and I’d like to see everything and not just the parts.
And that actually is a good feature of. If that’s how you are now, what are some of the pros and cons? You do have that multi-column stream, where you can see everything that is a pro. Not every social media management system has that some of them you have to go in and just click buttons, and you can see different. You know only what you’re focusing on and you can’t see what’s happening throughout the whole month.
It does have apps that you can connect to it. So if you’d like to be on your phone, there are apps that you can connect to your pro to your business, to your system and you can even post from your app from phone and not only from your laptop now, some of the cons they do provide. You with one free report a month, so you can go in and see. I was just telling you there are analytics and it’s even on the free account.
You can go in and see what’s the best time for me to post what are some really good keywords that I’ve been using and different things like that? The problem is, if you want another report, let’s say you looked at that one report and then a week later, you’re, like you know what I tweaked my post. I made some changes. I want to see how much better I’m doing with those posts you have to pay 50 dollars for that report.
As of today, as of the day that I posted this, so that’s that’s not really good. If you have a small business because that can get pretty caught, you start costing a lot of money. There are no content grabbing extensions, and so what that means is sometimes there’s some extensions out there. That will help you build your business, make better posts and there aren’t any of those that they allow in HootSuite.
You pretty much are confined to their system because here’s another way. Sometimes, when you post, you will go out and make your own shortened links, and I know on WordPress – and I have a system called pretty links that I’ve added to my WordPress and I make pretty links so on that link. I can name it. My shortened link is a pretty link and I can name it YT YouTube. Let’s say I’m giving a free course – and I can say free course, free email course and when I promote my free email course on YouTube, I use that specific link and pretty links will actually track.
How many people are clicking that link with HootSuite. You have to use their shortener and it’s called Ally, o WL. I think it is here yet o WL y al Li and you have to stay within HootSuite system and you cannot track because it’s in their system. So that’s a negative, but it may not be important to you when you’re new to track, and maybe you just want to play with it in the beginning and see so in a nutshell that was HootSuite.
I’r going to go ahead and compare HootSuite some to some of the other systems that are out there so go to my playlist, go below to my playlist, it’s right below and click that, and you can see some of the other platforms now, like I said, I’m Building that playlist, it’s I’m, always going to be adding to it. So if this is something that you’re seriously doing some research then keep that link handy.
Of course, I offer you I’m going to offer you a free course as well, where you can go in and step-by-step see. How can I build my business go ahead and click that as well, and then I’ve got the link to HootSuite there. It’s not an affiliate link, I’m not an affiliate with HootSuite. I just want to let you know that I’m just trying to give you some information so that you can go out and start comparing the different systems.
So until I see you again, hopefully that was helpful. Give me a thumbs up drop me. A comment. Ask a question: if there’s something else, you want to know again, that was just a review. It was not a tutorial. So if you want more information, you want to see what it looks like hands on just hit. That link to HootSuite and you get your free trial and they’ll have all kinds of training on there. For you,
We just had a conversation about it and it’s something. I’ve wanted to shoot a article for for a little while now so here’s the store. Here’s how all this kind of began this for me to sit down, actually shoot this article. The blog name is geeks life because I’m you know, I’m a geek.
I, like geeky stuff coach Roy company, put out an action figure of John wick and I really wanted it. He picked one up for me and so I had to send him some money, so I told him hey. I can send it through a PayPal, because, that’s typically how everyone does it, it’s probably how you do it if you’re going to buy anything off a Facebook marketplace or anywhere else to ebay anywhere, you want to go. You typically use PayPal.
Stripe is starting to get a little bit more known and people are using that, but if you’re buying stuff on Facebook there’s this way, you can send payments through using Facebook itself. Facebook pay – I don’t know if it has an exact name, I’m calling it Facebook pay from here on out and he didn’t he’s like. I don’t know that I don’t trust it. I’r just going to use PayPal, send it through that way.
Well by sending it through PayPal. That’s one of two things can happen. You can send it as friends and family, no fees, then you can send as goods and services and there is fees to accept that money. But with those fees you get protection, someone tries to scam you, you can file a claim, get your money back and you’re set security, but that’s what you’re paying those fees for, but a lot of times in facebook groups.
People don’t want to pay those fees because they don’t want to educate themselves and accept the fact that they are technically running a business if you’re, buying and selling stuff and you’re making money. That’s a small little business regardless if you’re, making ten thousand dollars or fifty bucks a month. So they ask you, send it as friends and family. A lot of people still do that, and they don’t understand that you have no protection and they get the money and no fees on there and and that’s it.
No questions asked so that means they could scan you. They could take your money and and never ship out the item that they probably never had in the first place. So you don’t want to do that, and people are starting to pick up on that and won’t do it. So so Facebook has a feature where you can send and receive payments and there’s no fees whatsoever. Now you may be wondering well, Chris, you just said: there’s no fees, then you’re not protected.
Well, you are that’s. Why I’m here to teach you and educate you guys. So it’s through messenger, if you don’t know apps to download no new accounts to create no new passwords to remember and I’m going to show you how to do this, you choose the debit card. You want to link to make that account with, and then everything is handled through your bank, whatever bank, that you decided to use it’s that simple.
So, to show you how simple it is to set up and to use I’m going to show you if I haven’t said so already, you can use your phone for the entire process. It’s so easy you can do from desktop to, but I’m going to show you how to do it on mobile. All you got ta do is have messenger, which you probably already have already own VIP messenger. Go that your icon, which is your picture and you scroll down to payments, then you’ll see an option for a new debit card typing your card number expiration, all that sort of thing and you’re done.
That’s it you’re totally done to request money and send money. You can do that all within this app as well, so I’m going to go over to Josh, I’m going to send him a dollar cuz. You know he’s my homie. I don’t know if this is going to look exactly the same. If you use an Android, I’m using an iPhone, but it’s probably very similar tap on the little four dots in the corner opens this up look payments.
I want to tap on payments, I’m going to send him $ 1 nakid. Now I had the option to request them that dollar or pay that dollar and I can add a little note suck on this and I’m going to hit pay and then all I got ta do is tap confirm payment of $ 1 and it’ll. Send it to him, that’s it now. All he has to do to accept his payment is literally accept he’ll, be notified with a little bit of a button. They push to hit accept and then he has to type in his debit card and then that’s it in his counts now setup he can send and receive so he this guy responds back for him saying he went straight to PayPal because that he probably has that Set as to his default, so to make changes to that account, you can go into payments, and I have I have PayPal setup as well, and I have a Visa card, that’s linked to my bank as another option and you can delete it if you want just By tapping on it hit and remove account, or you should be able to set it up as a primary card as well.
So I asked him to check PayPal because I’m curious to see if PayPal still charge a fee to accept that dollar, because it was through your bank, you won’t have to pay any sort of fees whatsoever. If PayPal came second to Facebook pay, then everyone would be using Facebook pay educate yourself guys. Hopefully, this article has helped you in the least saving fees on that, but the simplicity, the ease of use, if you are buying something on Facebook, there’s no excuse as to why you shouldn’t use the Facebook payment option.
It’s the same as PayPal, but slightly better and you are protected. Do I got ta say it again? You are protected, it’s through your bank and whichever card used to decide to put it in. That is the think that protects you. If someone tries to scam you by using that you could log on to your bank file dispute just like eBay or the benefit of physically walking into your bank and talking to a person face-to-face which you don’t get that option with PayPal now the only thing I Could say that’s in benefit of PayPal is, if you do send it as goods and services, you get their all their information.
You get their address included in that which isn’t a big deal to probably you guys, cuz, you probably don’t even know that feature exists either. I don’t send them my address because that’s already included if they go into PayPal to ship the shipping label right there, which again most people do not do I’ve done articles about that as well in the past, that saves you money if you ship it through PayPal, Use PayPal to ship your stuff, you get discount anyway, it’s on our tangent, educate yourself, guys, please, but if you’re using that feature you get their address included.
So you just go into PayPal and hit print sheeple and you’re done. You don’t have to ask for the shipping, but on Facebook you do hats off to ask for their shipping address. If you are shipping it out, that is, if you’re buying something locally, you don’t have to worry about it. So the last perk of doing this is your money, is in your bank account your actual account when you use PayPal or venmo it’s stored on their servers and their accounts.
So if you were to go to try pull that money out, you would be charged fees like PayPal. I think charge is a dollar to use. An ATM you’d be charged the ATM fee as well so you’re, looking at like three to four dollars, sometimes more, depending on what ATM you’re using just to get your money out, and it may already be your bank that you’re pulling from so. If you’re pulling money out of your own bank with our own card, there’s no fees, so it’s kind of a no-brainer and as that, a bonus if you’re spending money using through another website like being a chore or big bad toy store or whatever website you’re using Paypal and pull from you don’t have to have any money in that account, because if this is zero balance, it pulls from your bank account anyway again no-brainer.

So in this article I’m going to talk about three ways: to use LinkedIn to get clients fast, hey, what’s up, it’s Sean Anthony and I talk about the best tools, tips and strategies to level up your business, your skills and your income. So that sounds interesting to you make sure you go down below right now and hit that subscribe button.
Alright. So in this article we’re going to talk about LinkedIn, why it’s such a goldmine and how to use it three specific ways to use it to get clients fast for your business. So let’s hop into my computer right now already so on the screen. Here I have my LinkedIn profile and I’m just going to go and walk through the three main things that you want to do to be marketing on LinkedIn and growing your business and getting more clients using the platform.
Okay. So I’m going to walk through each of these three things, I’m going to show you some examples of each and just keep in mind, there’s hundreds of different tips and tactics and strategies and cool little hacks. You can do on LinkedIn. These are the three main core things that you want to do as part of your client acquisition strategy. If you want to use LinkedIn to do that and to get clients and grow your business okay, so just keep that in mind.
There’s a lot of different things that I could cover. I might cover in later articles, but pay attention to these main three, because this is the main thing that you want to do as part of your strategy. Okay, so number one. Is you want to optimize your LinkedIn profile for your ideal client right, and the way you want to think about your profile? Is a lot of people treat it like a resume or like a showcase or a place to just show off right, show off about their awards and what they’ve done? Maybe they’ve written a book or whatever you don’t want to do that.
You want to treat your LinkedIn profile if you want to use it to get clients, you want to treat it kind of like a mini sales, page or mini landing page right, and the goal of your LinkedIn profile is to attract and convert your ideal clients. So to do that, you need to optimize your LinkedIn profile to do that. To get your ideal clients to come to your profile, see what you do and say. Oh that sounds like that.
Guy can help me right. So let’s just take a look at the main. There’s three main areas on the profile that you want to optimize number: one is just your image, your file image and your cover photo. Okay, don’t overcomplicate this! Your profile photo should just be something simple: if you like, looking professional, smiling, not like you just rolled out of bed or came out of a bar, it should be a clear picture to make sure it’s not like pixelated or you can’t see your face.
Just make sure it’s a picture of a of you, that’s clear and looks somewhat professional. Okay, your cover photo is the same thing for me. I just put a few photos. You can make this in canva. I put a few photos that show me speaking and with other entrepreneurs like this is Jesse at slur. He owns the Atlanta Hawks. This is Trey Llewellyn who’s, big in the e-commerce space. You can use something like this.
That shows your authority or you can link with a call to action to your website or whatever you want people to do. Okay, so just make sure these two areas, it’s not like the default, make sure that you optimize it to make you look good and position. You as an authority all right now. The second place you want to optimize is your headline most people. What they do here is they just put their job title right.
They might say: oh I’m, a CEO, whose company this is what I do well, you want to make sure that when your prospect reads your headline, they can answer the question. What’s in it for me right, and does this person help me so this is for growth response right growth responses are b2b, lead generation or drop servicing agency. We provide LinkedIn and cold email, lead generation for b2b technology, startups, SAS companies and agencies right.
So I want to make sure if this is my company and that’s who I target right: b2b, startups and agencies. I want to make sure that my top my headline on LinkedIn speaks to that right. So it’s the same exact thing here: helping startups helping the niche, who are your niches and agencies to get result? What’s the result, get more sales meetings with their ideal customers right and then you can even I couldn’t fit everything in here.
So I just put you know: founder high growth response done for you up on prospecting. Some keyword, SAS lead generation, LinkedIn marketing, cold email, copy sales, funnels okay, so you can put some keywords in here: a little hack. I don’t know if this still works, but if you edit on your phone, if you download the LinkedIn mobile app and you edit on your phone, you edit this headline, I think they, let you add, a bit more characters right.
I don’t think I could add this on on the desktop version. I think it’s a little trick if it still works, if it doesn’t oh well you’re too late, but try try downloading the mobile app and seeing if, if you could add more keywords into your headline here right. But the lesson here is: make sure that you can answer who do you help? How do you help them and what result do you get right? So helping startups and agencies get sales meetings with their ideal customers? That’s what I do and then I linked to growth response, which is the actual company that I’m talking about right.
So that’s area number two, now area number one, your photo! Your cover photo area. Number two is your headline area number three that you want to optimize is your about or your summary section. Okay – and this is where people go so wrong, like they’ll, just put like, for example, they’ll speak about themselves in third person, so they might say something like Shawn has worn won three awards. He started five companies he’s made like ten million dollars.
Shaun has is a TEDx speaker. He has this book in that book and he’s done this he’s such a badass right, like just talking about themselves in third person, which first of all, is just it’s kind of strange. It’s kind of creepy right who actually talks about themselves in third person and, second of all, you look like a narcissist when you do that, so make sure that your your profile summary talks about your prospect and how you can help them right again.
If you want to use it to get more clients and grow your business right, so let’s take a look at my example: I’m not going to read through all of this, but let’s take a look at what I’m doing here right. So the very first line. I don’t say anything about me or, like my background or anything, I talk exactly to the value proposition right. We help technology startups and digital agencies fill their pipeline with high-value, leads that turn into customers.
You get an expert team dedicated to prospecting and customer acquisition for half the cost of an in-house team. Now by reading that very first sentence, you know exactly who I helped exactly the result I get and how like why it’s relevant to them right. So half the cost of an in-house team right these SAS companies, these SAS founders, they’re so used to hiring like three to four sales reps at like four to five thousand dollars a month each and they still have to train them and buy them tools and all That stuff right so we’ll cut that cost in more than half and we’ll get.
We have a proven system that already works and we can get them exactly what they want, which is more customers right. So the the sentence should be a value proposition about you and what you do and how you help that market right. Then I kind of dive deep into the problems and pain points, so you’re going to have to do some research into this right. It’s not going to be the same thing. You want to make sure that you’re speaking in the language of your niche, so for our niche for b2b technology companies when we are talking to founders they’re, always like I don’t know where my next deals coming from, like we don’t know which source is coming from.
We don’t know if it’s from a webinar or LinkedIn or cold email or Facebook advertising. We don’t know where our next deal is going to come from and we don’t have a predictable system right. So we tie that into the pain points here right is your team wasting hours of valuable selling time when researching and instead of closing deals, do you wish you had a proven system right? So these are specific pain points that come up when we talk to our market right Ben.
You can read this, you can I’m not going to read all this, but it talks a little bit about our background. Why we created this service? What problem does it solve and we even kind of qualify people here right so we say hold up, must be but afford at least $ 1,000 a month, and this filters out people from booking a call with us if they’re, just like tire, kickers and just information Seekers right that aren’t actually going to become clients.
So take a look at the profile summary summary here again: it should speak directly to your ideal client and your ideal prospect and talk about how you can help them solve a problem that they want to solve right. In this case, it’s it’s lead generation and getting more getting more customers for their SAS business right. They should not be talking about yourself in third person or your awards or anything like that.
Nobody cares right. So that’s the number one area is is optimizing your profile. We talked about your profile photo your cover photo your headline and also your profile summary right. So that’s number one optimize your profile for your ideal client now number two: is you want to connect and engage with your ideal clients right, so you can use sales navigator options set up a separate article, doing a tutorial of sales navigator and how we use it In depth, but let’s just say that we’re going to use it again, b2b staffs founders, because that’s who we target for for growth response if I want to find SAS calendars, all I got to do here is type in.
Let’s see founder, okay and I’ll show you some examples of messages that we’ve sent I’ll go to all filters here and I can go to computer software. I can go to let’s say if I want to find people in my city of Seattle I’ll do that. I can type in their title here. I might do falender right and then what I can do is click apply now. What does this? Do? It gives me a list of 2509 founders in seattle of software companies and what sales navigator you can get even more grant and granular with like the size of the companies like how many employees they have more specific industries, more specific titles and seniority levels.
But I’m just showing you a quick example here, and this shows me two thousand plus founders people who fit my ideal client profile. So what do I want to do? I want to connect with these people. Let’s just say Dan here I might connect with him I’ll. Send him a connection requests, hey Dan saw your founder in the Seattle area of a SAS company. Would love to connect and share insights with you. Something super simple like that: right once they connect, you can send them a message and just see if they’re interested in having a quick conversation with you to learn more about what you do as what you deliver at your service right and how you can help them To provide value to their lives right, so let’s take a look at an example here right, so one of our clients here is Lynn.
I know she is in here she’s one of my favorite clients, because they have an awesome SAS product. Oh my gosh, I can get this typed out and then you can see here when we first started talking, so you can see here, here’s the connection message right. So I connected with there. I engage with there I enjoy connecting with founders, who I share. Mutual connections with love the opportunity to connect and share insights thanks for sharing, thanks for connecting with me on LinkedIn promise to keep this value an interesting blah, blah blah, and then I go into a little mini pitch right.
Are you interested in using LinkedIn to generate 10 to 20 high value sales appointments a month at Condotti? If not, or are you currently using that? If not, I created this free guide detailing how to do that right, so I’m providing her value, I’m giving her a value. So I had this little article here on LinkedIn tactics and I sent it over her way and this is what she said would like to chat more on your approach.
Let me know when’s a good time this week or next. So then we hopped on a phone. We set up a time to chat. We helped in the phone she became a client of ours. She’s been a client of ours for over a year now and she’s on boarded. You know multiple people within her company onto our service right, so LinkedIn outreach. It works. You know you have to just make sure you’re connecting with the right people with your ideal client you’re, providing value up front you’re, showing them that you care about them and and that you can help them get a result that they actually want.
And that’s what we’ve done here and this is exactly what we do for our service right, our LinkedIn service. What we’re doing is we’re connecting with people, we optimize your profile and then we start connecting with people and engaging with them to get you more appointments so that you can get more customers more clients right. So that’s number two is connecting and engaging with your ideal clients and trying to get them.
You know interested in what you have to offer yeah so number three, the third way to grow your business and get more clients if LinkedIn is content, write content and what you want to do here, there’s two types of content: this is the way that I break It down type one content is content that shows who you are as a person right. So talk, you’re, going to be telling stories about yourself, your business, your personal life, things that happen, things that are good things that are bad.
It shows people that you’re human and who you are as a person – I mean, of course you’re human, but it shows your personality a bit right, so you can look at my posts on here. I’r not going to go through all of them here, because I have I’ve made a lot of posts, but type 1 content is showing who you are as a person and letting people know that your hue and you’re, not just some robot on linkedin, trying to just Spam and get business all the time right.
Number two is what I call type 2 content real original right, but it’s content that positions you as the authority. So it answers the question. Why should I work with you to solve X problem? So someone might say why should I work with you to help me generate more leads on LinkedIn, so I actually provide a lot of content here on LinkedIn for free through my status updates right. You can see these get engaged with a lot.
50 likes 12 comments of 54 and 19. Comments have 17,000 views on this 147 likes and 49 comments. So this gets people interested in what you have to offer and they’ll see your posts. They’ll reach out to you through your messaging here and they’ll, want to set up a time with you to chat right. So content is a very powerful way if you combine it with an outreach strategy right. So if you optimize your profile number one, you optimize it for your ideal client number: two! You connect and engage with your ideal clients, your ideal prospects and you grow your network on LinkedIn right.
You start connecting with people they get accepted into your network. You send them a mess. I’ve seen if you can help them or provide value, that’s connect and engage and then number three you’re constantly putting content out there. Maybe one or two times a week even and you’re, constantly putting content in value out there and you’re helping your market out through your content, you’re going to get clients, people are going to reach out to you they’re going to want to work with you, because your Profit you’re putting goodwill and value out into the market right, so those are the three things number one optimize your profile for your ideal client right, your your your profile photo your cover photo your headline and your profile summary.
You should all be geared towards your ideal prospect. Your ideal client should be it shouldn’t, be talking or bragging about yourself. Okay, number two is a the connected engaged, so you want to connect with your ideal client and you want to provide some value. Maybe you found an article, that’s useful to them. That’s relevant to your service that you provide and also number three is to post content right type, 1 and type 2 content person, personality content and authority content right.
You want to get people interested in what you have to offer and stay top of mind so that when they are ready to move forward with LinkedIn lead generation or whatever you provide, you are going to be the first person they think about. Okay. So I hope this is helpful for you guys, if you guys like this, like this article subscribe comment below. Let me know what you want to see next, let me know if you want, if you have any questions around what I covered here today, I’ll be doing a lot more articles on LinkedIn and using it to grow your business, but I hope this is helpful for You guys take care and I’ll see you in the next article
So this will download everything that they’ve posted, whether it’s allowed to be downloaded for free or not. If you’re a DJ and you’re trying to fill up your music collection – and you just like keeping your songs offline for whatever reason that maybe this is a great tool for you, it saves a lot of time being able to download a couple hundred tracks at once.
With you know, 10 seconds of typing in a command and letting it do its thing. I just found this today it’s really easy to use and I think it’d be useful for a lot of people. So, let’s go we’re going to use a Python script to download a possible unlimited number of tracks from SoundCloud using just one short text command. Even if download is unavailable for the track. This article will show me using the option to download every track upload and repost.
It by the artist Yeti yetis one of my favorites. So that’s what I’m going to use for this one. Other options outlined: allow you to download an artist like tracks as well as one command to download a playlist, as well as download newly added tracks to a playlist previously grabbed using this tool. By creating your own playlist, combined with using this tool, you can easily create a download queue using sound clouds, playlist on their site and type just one command to download all of your selections.
The prerequisites for this are you need to install the latest version of Python for your operating system, so I’m going to show you how to do this in Windows, but you can also do this using the same script on a Mac or Linux. There’s the link that you can go to to download Python for your operating system. So this part that I’m showing you here it’s going to highlight what you need to do to create and navigate folders inside of a command prompt, you’re, going to see what a command prompt is in a second, if you’re not familiar with it.
It basically is running your computer off of typed commands, rather than using your mouse and clicking around the screen. So if you take a look there, you can see what you would need to do to open up a command prompt, you’re going to hold down the windows. Key and you’re going to type the letter R, a little box is going to open on the lower left-hand corner, and this is where you can type in a command to quickly open any program that you may have installed on your computer command.
Prompt is built into Windows, and you have you: don’t need to have anything special to be able to get to this. So now, you’re going to go ahead and type in the letter CMD, and we definitely want to open our command prompt using administrator privileges. So we’re going to hold down ctrl + shift and we’re going to type in enter Windows. This is going to prompt asking if you want to allow this after make changes to your device, because we need to install a script that runs inside of Python.
We’re going to have to click yes, this is also expecting that you followed my link from step one and installed the latest version of python on your system, so I already have this installed, so the command isn’t going to show the same thing for me right now, As it will for you the first time, but what you’re going to want to do is you’re going to type pip3 pip3 one-word space, install space, SC DL, that’s going to go ahead and install the package made by flying grub, which he’s been so kind to provide For us on a github platform, so that’s good once that’s installed, then you’ll be able to run this command to be able to download what you want off a soundcloud, basically to move around directories and to command prompt, you type, cd’ and then a space.
And then the name of the directory that you want to get into if you type see these space and two periods it’ll navigate to the directory above the one that you’re in right now the parent directory. I did not include the directory listing here, but I’m going to type it in right now and you would type dir and that will show you the list of all the folders, where you’re currently located the other command.
That you’re going to use is mkdir, which will make a directory. In my example, it would create a new folder called this. Is my folder I’m going to show you how this works. So when you first open a command prompt, it’s going to put you in your windows, system32 folder. This is not a good place to download files, especially files that are going to be mp3. This is where commands are essentially stored.
So if I type dir, it will show me all the files that are in that folder. It’s a big mess, there’s four thousand five hundred and fifty-seven files there. So I’m going to go ahead and type CD space, two periods. Now I’m in the windows directory. Let’s check out, what’s in there a lot of stuff that we don’t need, so we’re going to go back once more CD dot dot you’re going to see my command prompt, there’s flashing, I’m in the C Drive, so I could type dir and it’s going to show You all the different folders that I or you have in your C Drive, so I already created a directory here called soundcloud, but I’m going to create a new directory, so I’m going to type mkdir space I want to put my name: is func, I’m going to Go into there now I’m going to hit dir again and I’m going to see that my new folder is there.
So if I want to get into it, I could type CD space and I could type out the full name if I want, but once I get part of it I and do an auto completion by hitting the tab key. Now, I’m in my new folder. So once I run the command to start downloading some Yeti, what’s going to happen, is it’s going to create folders and mp3s inside that my name is funk folder, it’s a much better place to keep your files in the windows, system32 directory.
There’s a couple different commands that I’m highlighting here inside the sedl script. One of them will download all tracks and reposts by the user that you want to go after the other. The second one will download all of the liked tracks by the user that you’re targeting and the third and fourth one will download playlists that either someone else has created, or you may have created, with the sole intent of using as a download queue to download a Mix of tracks for a multiple artist, if you see on the bottom there that’s a command that you would use to come back to a playlist that you may have created, and you only want to download the new tracks that haven’t already be been grabbed.
The one thing I want to mention is that if you do do that, one you want to make sure that you run it in the same folder that you downloaded that playlist last time. So now all we really need to do. Let’s say we want to download every track for the artist Yeti like we said before, I’m going to search for the artist I want on Soundcloud here it is right on the top. If you see the URL section of the web browser there that I’m highlighting my mouse over, you can see it’s just soundcloud.
Com forward. Slash and just one word. If you want to download an artist, it’s going to be slash and then one word nothing after it. I’ll show you, for example, would it look like if you wanted to go after a playlist, so I’m going to go, play a list and I’m going to click the brain near ep. So now you’re going to see the artist name in a /all playlists are going to start off with the word sets and then another forward slash and then the name of the playlist.
So if I wanted to do a playlist, that’s what I would select and copy to the clipboard, but that’s not we’re going after today, we’re going to download all of yetis tracks all over 200 of them that are here and what’s awesome about this. Is that no matter if the track was permitted to be giving you a free download or if it was just a stream only track? This script is going to put the track on your hard drive into an mp3 in the highest quality format that you can rip? It you may have used websites to rip SoundCloud tracks before.
Unfortunately, you know it’s one that you do is going to take a minute or so, and this you can do 200 all at once. So I’m going to select that text there, where my mouse is moving. I’r going to copy that to the clipboard so now that I got that there I’m going to go back to my command prompt and well I’m going to refer back to my things. So I want to download tracks and reposts of the user. So it’s essentially SC DL space, lowercase L, then the link space and a lowercase a I’m actually going to switch from Yeti to some kids.
I know a Nashville called the undergrowth. It’s a pretty cool, sound collective, a bunch of different artists. It’s it’s kind of a record label, part promotion company. It’s a lot of things. I recommend you check them out, they’re a bunch of good guys. Alright! So now I got that on my clipboard and that’s when I already have running I’m going to do a SC DL space that L space I’m going to paste in the link for the artist page, then I’m going to do space a once.
I hit enter it’s going to gather the tracks and, as it downloads the tracks, it’s also going to give him an ID three tag. So they’re tagged with the artist name and the name of the song and there we go, and I got four hundred and thirty. Five songs that my computer is going to proceed to download one after the next and they’ll be sitting pretty, and my harddrive in that folder that I created earlier called.
My name is funk. If you feel like this, article was useful to you and you’re really appreciative of the many many many many hours of time. I may have saved you that it would take to download four hundred and thirty five tracks. Just you know shoot me something in the comments. I hope my article helped you. I hope it was clear enough to understand and happy listening guys and thank you very much have a good day.
Now this is one of five cheap growth strategies. I listed in my guide that free guide is in the description below I’ll, also put in the top comment, so check that out after the article, if you’re interested and a great thing about this article right here is a lot of you guys have been looking for A system to use marketing wise because everybody needs a system, but you haven’t had one.
This article will show you a system for growing a fan base and if you can’t use this particular one, you at least understand what that looks. Like here’s, the things that you got to do to use this strategy, one you have to upload a content mix. This requires two types of content at minimum, but three would be even better. Those two types of content are your original music that could be a music article or just a audio track, upload it to YouTube, and then there’s cover songs.
Now I know a lot of you guys are familiar with using cover music on YouTube. Some people have tried it and haven’t had much success, but a lot of it comes from not completely understanding so listen to this entire article, so you can really get an understanding how best to use cover music and also to actually make sure you maximize this. You have to upload your cover: music, your remixes or your free styles, one of the others in the right way.
So read the article that I did on how to properly do that and I’ll also provide that in the link description below the third type of content. You can do is really just regular vlog type articles where you’re engaging your audience and different ways, or just giving them peers and peeks into your lifestyle. There’s plenty of youtubers out there that you know are just succeeding as just youtubers, no music at all figure out.
What you might be able to do in that type of category to give fans additional ways to connect with you? The second thing you need to do is manage your proportions. Now. What I mean by that is you have those two or three types of content that you’re dropping. You want your original music to be a decent portion of that, and your original articles to be a decent portion of that if you’re doing vlog type articles covers, can be some, but not all of your posts.
There’s some people who use a cover, type strategy or a remix type strategy, but that’s all they’re doing and then there’s some people who rarely ever do covers or any kind of remixes or freestyles. You want to create some form of regular schedule, even if you’re not dropping this music regularly, it doesn’t necessarily matter what your proportion is as long as you stay consistent over the long term, but just for those of you, my ex, if you do at least one Cover song or one freestyle, every four articles you drop, that could be pretty good for you, but on the other end, if you aren’t able to record quality original music, you might want to flip that and drop only one original song.
Every four articles you have to figure out what works best for you, but if you can do this at least weekly, then that should be a nice pace to work with. If you want to slow that down and do four articles every month, just realize you’ll be taking more time to get out more content and you’re working at a slower pace so expect success or certain numbers to come at a slower pace. Now. The third thing you got to do is links in promo.
It’s the equivalent of letting people know where your other music is in this article right here. I could have text pop up that says: follow brain man, Sean on soundcloud or follow brain man, Sean on Spotify or Apple music, if they’re not going to also have that in my description links. I can also have that in my top comment link now, if you don’t know what I mean by top comment, if you look at the comment section of this article, you’ll notice, that my comment is at the top, because I pinned it to the top and now Any links that I want people to see people will always see.
My comment first be sure to do this with relevant links for your articles. Now it’s extremely important that these links lead to places where it’s only your original content, if you haven’t realized it, yet we’ve been walking through pieces of the system. The reason a lot of people fail when it comes to covers is they’re thinking about it directly as creating fans as opposed to realizing that covers are marketing.
So now, when I talked about that marketing funnel remember, we’ve talked about this in articles before read my article on that, if you haven’t, this is how the system would play out. The top of the marketing funnel always has the most people your covers, because they’ll get views and organically are usually going to be the first thing people see, that’s just them becoming aware of you initially, the next step in the consideration phase.
That means they saw whatever cover article that they saw of you and now they’re saying. Let me look at this other cover article, or maybe they run into your original content. That’s what’s happening in the consideration phase, because they’re discovering more of you next is conversion. This is when they’re really saying yeah. Oh, this person’s original content is awesome and if you did the third type of content, that is the more youtuber, maybe blog type content, they’re discovering – maybe some of this in the consideration phase as well, but once they get down to the conversion phase.
They really like your original music and they really like your other articles. That is just you and your personality, not necessarily the covers. So now. At this point, you have people who are discovering you on your YouTube page and then some of your subscribers are probably casual fans and real fans. You don’t know what that number percentage is, but with the links, the people who follow you, because they see your link in your YouTube article or they see it in your description or your top comments and follow you on other platforms, whereas only your original music.
You now know that the people who went there through that route really love you for you. These are some of your true fans, and that is a system and the way these systems work is now once everything is in place. All you have to do is stay consistent with it, and on top of that, give it more and more exposure, because now, after you have let’s say a hundred articles of this combination, if article number 101, all of a sudden goes viral, all the new people that Come in and will go to the top of the funnel and be able to follow that exact same route, and now for those of you who get all discouraged like yo.
My original music doesn’t get anywhere near as many views as the covers. That’s how it’s supposed to be it’s the top of the funnel that’s people discovering you in the first place. Naturally, less people are going to even find out about your original music at first. But if you stay consistent with this system, you’re going to have more casual fans and more real fans and you’ll have more people who aren’t fans at all, but at least have been exposed to you.
Everybody has this there’s an artist out there that you can think of that. You know, has a pretty strong fan base, but you don’t really know their music like that, because you’re, the top of the funnel for them. This system could be a strong foundation for you and if you follow the criteria and follow these instruction and you’re, not finding any kind of progress in the content probably needs to improve whether that means your music isn’t good or whether that means the quality of the Audio and articles is just straight-up messed up, you’ll have to figure that out, but there’s no way you shouldn’t find some progress, even if it’s not as fast as other people.
Now again, this was just one of five cheap growth strategies to build a music fan bits. The rest of that guide is in the link in the description below go ahead and have at it would love to know you guys thoughts only when you get a chance to go through it go ahead and hit me up at brandman Shawn on Instagram. To give me your thoughts other than that, if you like this article, go ahead, the like button, if you like it, you might as well share it and if you’re not subscribed, you know what to do hit that subscribe.
Both of them are social media marketing management tools bate. What does that mean? Basically, when you start posting on different sites with your business, it can be very cumbersome, very time consuming even expensive if you’re hiring a virtual assistant to do it to post on all the places that you want to post. Once you start being more intentional about what you want to post and where you want to post it and what time and not just post for the sake of posting, you might want to come use the social media management tool, because, basically, you can go into the Tool post the same post on four or five different social media platforms.
So that’s what it does you can post ahead. I have a whole playlist about different social media tools and I’m going to put that at the end you can invent. You know, go out research. All the different ones see which one works best for you. They all have pros and cons just like anything else, but basically it saves you time. You can go in and make a post and say here. I want to put it on Facebook. I want to put it on Instagram.
I want to put it on LinkedIn and make sure the one that you choose has all those features, and then you can post them out for a month, maybe you’d like to post every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. At a certain time, or maybe a couple times a day, you can go in and make those posts all in one day now. This is something that I keep telling people don’t feel like for the rest of your life. You have to go in there once a month and put all these posts and keep scheduling once you have a good collection of, let’s say: 90 to 120 posts three to four months worth.
You can go back and recycle them, and that is what’s cool about using a social media management tool. You do the foot work in the beginning, get it all planned out and then just keep recycling now you might say well what? If I want fresh content, you can do that. Maybe you can say every Wednesday at 2:00 is where you add something fresh. I do that with my email sequence. I have everything in a sequence, but then there are certain times I plug in current information.
That’s happening now in my life and it’s not always in a sequence if that makes sense, so social media platform management tools work the same way. You can put that fresh stuff in there. So today we’re going to look at HootSuite and lumely, and I’ve got about five different things. I’r comparing and you can see which one you like better. So let’s go ahead and get started. The most important thing, if not the second most important thing, the money is what everybody looks at, which is yeah.
You got ta look at money, but you also want to look at the features make sure. Sometimes you got to pay a little bit more for what you have right, where what you’re looking for so I know money is important, but I’m going to give that to you later. In my opinion, first thing you want to look at does the one that I’m choosing allow me to post it on the sites that I’m using and HootSuite. These are five out of the several that you can post on Facebook, Instagram, MailChimp, Twitter and WordPress.
Lumely does not post on a wordpress, but you can post on pinterest and I want to put a disclaimer here. They advertise that they post on instagram, but they post in a way right now where they will give you a notification. So you’ll say: yes, I want to post on instagram you’ll get it already, but you have to physically hit a button to post it. Instagram does not like automation at all. They do everything they can do to stop automation so right now they haven’t found a way to get around that, but you’ll be you know: you’ll just get a little notification on your phone.
You hit the button and it’s ready to go so in that sense you can still post and they also post on LinkedIn, which HootSuite did not. So you got to really look at. Where do I want to post? Doesn’t work for me all right. Let’s look at some of the features HootSuite, which I liked I thought was important, especially if you’re starting to dig in and look at things. They do have a be testing. So what does that mean? That means you can take the same post.
Maybe your have the same quote or maybe you have the same content some information, but maybe you use two different pictures and then you’re going to go, which one is getting clicked more often and that’s what a/b testing is you just change? One little thing you might change the color, you might change the font, I’m just something that usually the picture. My opinion is probably the big thing that people change their opinion on what they’re going to look at.
But again you have that a/b testing in there and then you can see here who lumely has 76 total features and HootSuite has 70. Now, if you want to go dig in I’m, giving you a scan of what their differences are, because really, if you’re looking to purchase one of them as a membership and use them, you really want to dig in. You really want to go and get the free membership and use them and see which one you like better.
So I’m just kind of giving you a you know an overview of how they’re different. This may not be important to you, but I thought I wanted to put it here. I’r going to give you a couple of you so before you leave I’m going to give you a calendar view of each, so you can kind of kind of see what they look like some kinds, sometimes the the ease of how to use them or the aesthetics Of what it looks like is important to people it is to me.
I want to use something. That’s easy looks nice, you know user, friendly, social media tools for dummies right. This is security. If that’s important to you, if you really dig in you, can see right here, you can pause the article and read that yourself. The next one is the calendar view. I personally liked luly’s calendar view better. If you look over here at HootSuite, it has each day listed and what’s there.
But personally I like this view, because you can see right here on the 23rd. All these places are getting a post, and I kind of like I’m like that, even with Mike own calendar, I want to see the whole month and I want to see what’s going on and I want I want to see it all, I’m very global, so I Prefer that now, if you like, you know just one page at a time or one date at a time, then you might like HootSuite better.
So again, it’s just a preference. I also wanted to look at the dashboard that we wanted to go back. Let me go back one that was the calendar view and now, let’s look at the dashboard, sorry about that umm dashboard when I popped up dashboard for each of them again. I really liked lumely, because here I can go into the different areas that I want to spend more time on. I can find my calendar from here.
I can find the analytics and things like that. The dashboard for HootSuite is looks like this on the left. I personally, like the layout better of lumely: again, it’s just a preference all right. So now, let’s look at user reviews a lot of people that 96 of the people who did the review said that they would recommend HootSuite 99 % said lumely. So, in my opinion, they’re pretty even the only negative thing that I heard I and I’ve heard several times from people that have readed my articles.
They Facebook message me and they tell me they’ve used to sweet, but then, after your contract is up, they keep raising the prices and giving you a feature. So they didn’t like how it keeps getting so expensive. One lady was telling me she had to pay $ 230 a month just to get the feature she wanted. She didn’t go into a lot of detail, but again it depends on what you’re looking for so dig into that see.
If there’s a price increase or anything like that, lumely was my favorite because of how easy it is to navigate and use, and I really like that – I don’t want to have to overthink things. I like it to be easy, so my personal preference, but again dig in and look if you’re running an agency. All of that might change alright. This I’m looking at more for personal use and after that, the analytics these are the designs of the analytics.
The one on the left is an analytical page of a Twitter account and the one and that’s with HootSuite the one on the right is lumely and that’s the Facebook analytics so again, which one do you like. I personally, like the numbers, I think it’s laid out very nice and neat on lumely. I can look at those numbers and then these graphs are very simple. Very you know. Everything is just spaced nicely easy to read over here, you’re getting a lot of these jiggy-jiggy lines and things like that again it just.
It depends on your preference, but that’s kind of what the analytics look like on each different platform and now last but not least, drumroll, please. What does it cost? That’s what everybody wants to know and again, don’t always look at just the money. Okay, if you’re looking for certain features – and you have to pay a little bit more for it, then by golly pay it get what you need. They’re, both very close in price HootSuite, starts out at $ 29 a month.
Lumely starts out at 25. They both have a free trial, which is a I love. I love to look at the free trials, but HootSuite you don’t have to use your credit card to get the free trial and or you do have to use when you go in for your free trial. You have to give them your credit card with lumely. You do not so I know a lot of people they don’t like to give their credit card. If that’s you, then you might want to try lumely, but I have found if you write down the date of when your trial is over.
I just got done canceling something else, but give them your credit card. Make sure you write it down on your calendar notification on your phone when it’s due and about two or three days before that? Cancel it? If that’s not something you’re going to use so you’re just going to stay on top of it, I’m just like those 0 %. You know payments you get into. You got it. You got to stay on top of it and pay attention all right.

Google display ads while CPA, affiliate marketing offers method. You guys can make 20,000 per day with this strategy. Let’s get it alright, so I’m in Google ads and if you didn’t know, Google ads owns Gmail, YouTube, etc and Google, and so we’re going to build a campaign and I’m going to show you the whole funnel with funnel it Ixia we’re going to draw it up And you’re going to love it.
So this strategy is very, very much so not talked about, and the power of being able to use a computer, your debit card or credit card and be able to reach the whole world with a marketing message of some sort to sell something or anything you want To do is so powerful and I highly suggest you guys go into traffic networks, self-serve traffic networks like Facebook, Google, etc and just figure out all the details and things you can do is stop reading tutorials, 100 percent all the time, but actually take action.
Try to figure it out on your own, but I’m going to show you this strategy right now, so you’re going to create a campaign without any prior goal. Okay, so you can just select because they get rid of privileges that you would have before. If you select one of these before now we’re going to go to article and we’re going to go to, where is it? This might take me a minute, alright guys. So here we are, we cook display it’s on display, not article and here’s what you do link to your website.
Okay, google.Com! Is your website. Alright, typically wan na do sales funnel you want to be able to spend the most to acquire conversions right, very, very important. So have a lot of offers and a high ticket back-end, but once you have that in place, we’re ready to drive traffic alright and don’t overthink it too much guys try to take action. But if you just want to sell one thing, just know: if you don’t have an upsell or more monetization method, you won’t make as much as you could all right very important.
Also if you you want to promote something. That’s recurring: oh geez, you’re set okay, just so you know. So. Let’s talk about the strategy. I can picture a lot of you guys getting crazy results. If you want to learn even crazier strategies. This is one I’m releasing right. Now: okay, it’s very powerful, I’m giving it for free on YouTube, but if you want to learn crazy, crazy strategies, just like this one and this top-secret freaking stuff check out my course and then I have multiple other courses that teach specific strategies and stuff that can Help you out, but the main course has a lot of stuff in it that just geez man, I’m telling you but moving on, so we’re making sure we’re doing display right boom.
Also, just so, you know if you do YouTube ads and you do in-stream ads dude and you do it right. Oh geez, you can make killing grow a campaign name, doesn’t matter really just do whatever you want. Whatever you’re doing United States is obviously more expensive, but that’s what the money is all right. You can set locations risk into US for now to show you how this works languages – typically, English, yes, high-quality traffic, yes, not just impressions.
We want traffic manually set bids sure if you want automatics good but you’re, going to set a manual bid and no one’s going to tell you this. If you’re going to set a manual bid, set it like really high, because it’s an auction system and YouTube’s going to or whatever network to use for innocence to AdWords AdWords is going to literally send you traffic over your competitors targeting the same people all right.
I’r going to spend per day you want to spend a thousand great you’re going to make a killing all right, even spent a thousand per day move a down name that way if you want alright now this is what I was suggesting like you can look at This and you could based off search. You can base it off phrase or URLs. You can get ideas right here, just random stuff right, but just search up whatever niche you’re in and you can do that.
But that’s not the method, we’re talking about we’re talking about something even more interesting. Also, if you already know what demographics converting you can do that, but I suggest leave a broad I’ll show you why, in a minute we’re going to go down here – and this is what we’re doing content targeting. But I’m going to show you this other stuff. Just for fun weekly estimate off more reach. I suggested this one.
You keep it regular. Okay, now your cost-per-click bid for the ad group. You have to set it okay, you’re doing manual, and if we went up here and we did a option for automatic to do automatic, but sometimes networks – don’t let you do automatic. So we have to set our bid and the way actually Google works is. You can set your bid, but don’t go too low, okay and it’s almost better to set it even higher.
Okay. So we’re going to three bucks per click. Look it’s going to show you actually how much you’re going to spend so over here we’ve got your weekly estimate. Here’s! How much clicks you’re going to end up getting with a thousand bucks per day. Your cost per click is going to be thirty, eight cents to seventy five cents. Okay, just so you know, this is cost per click. You’re doing display ads on it could be the network it could be on websites or it could be on YouTube articles, and this is the strategy.
I’r teaching YouTube articles display ads. I kid you not it’s insane. Okay, this is such a powerful strategy. I’r sharing with you right now. Okay, I hope you understand that so whatever country you want to do, if you’re in CPA marketing dude, oh my gosh get ready, I’m about to blow your mind if you’re doing sweepstakes. Oh my gosh, oh my gosh. I wish I could just share with you guys, but you have to have the right of passage of content, locking like there’s so much stuff that I could talk about.
That is just insane for this, but you just have to get in the force. I guess – and it’s so worth it so anyway, that’s how much you’re going to end up spending. Alright, if you want to do 0.5, I mean less than 30 cents, so say: 25 cents. So look they’re going to give you less quality traffic and you’ll get more clicks, but it’s less quality. Okay, you want to be competitive and that’s why I said it as high as it is.
If you don’t set it as a dollar, that’s pretty good! So there’s a buck. You won’t get typically charged a buck per click, but yeah if you’re in other countries, obviously cheaper, but you better have a good CPA offer for that country. Okay, now, let’s get into needy greedy man, all right content targeting okay, you can target keywords: okay, so all across the whole web. You could target topics so webpages, apps and articles about a certain subject or you can do placements and we’re going to do placements.
Look specific websites, specific websites, specific articles, alright or apps; okay power, ful bro; alright, we’re going to click placement, so we’re going to do exact, YouTube articles or exact blogs, but I highly suggest, with this method, you’re going to target exact freaking articles. Okay, now, whatever cpa marketing network you’re with great find your offer and you’re ready to go, if you want to a cost per sale, offer great we’re going to cover the funnel actually in just a sec.
We should probably cover it now and we’re going to no we’re just going to do the article now. So if you want to do with golf offer we’re just going to do golf, you find um. Typically, you want to go to youtube first, so youtube youtube. You want to go to youtube and you’re going to want to type in whatever any sharing. Now you want to have a you want to have several tools, you don’t have keywords everywhere, the Chrome extension and then you want to have vid IQ.
The Chrome extension right. Alright, let’s go: go we’re going to want to see the ones at the top views, okay, that are getting a lot of views and that we would want that. Would that we would think is relevant to the offer were promoting okay, super powerful and do Google display? You can literally create an ad that has like text on it and has like it says what the offer is. It grabs attention and it’s 100 % relevant to the viewers right.
This is very powerful. Okay, so find like a couple articles. You don’t want to have just over one article, but you could just find one article, but this is super crazy. Okay, I’m talking about you make your ad. You could run a split test of two ads if you want or more okay of different ones and see which one does better you’ve run your ad, you figure out. Okay, are women, doing the clicking more than men or what ages and what demographics and you can break it down and then run that and it just gets better optimize: okay, you’re running traffic, the whole time.
So you just pick your articles to show up on. You click it here and you start and you were going to want to have a quite a bit. Okay, because YouTube articles only get a couple views after their first spike over time. So you’re going to want to pick quite a few articles, but the power is especially if a new creator, like a YouTube creator, launches a brand new article and you’re like okay target their blog, then boom you’re, going to have your ads show up on their blog, Especially nice blogs guys this works great for news blogs.
Super super powerful. Okay, we’re going to go over here. Traffic is AdWords, specifically YouTube. Okay, we’re going here we’re going to make the landing page art so you’ve got your ad right and they’re on YouTube. They’re going to click through to your opt-in, you want to give something for free, or so we’re going to do two different things here: you’re going to have a sales page. Okay, your sales page sells something right off the bat, so you actually in qualified buyers when they come here and buy right here you giving some for free, so you can follow up with them with what you sell forever.
Either way works the higher click-through rates going to be this one. This ones are all right to don’t sell something super high ticket. I’r telling you right now you will regret it um and then here’s what we’re going to do and we’re doing affiliate offers right. So this is, if you have your own offer, okay or if you do pre sale here, okay boom right there. So this is. If, if you have your own offer, you can do some upsells you’re using click funnels.
Of course you have your own upsells in the back end you’re going to offer like affiliate offer. Okay. So let’s draw that out real quick episode. Boom boom boom boom upsells. There you go so and then you have an affiliate offer at the end to see. So just a thank you page and then to your affiliate offer you want to do just so. You can monetize more. That’s the power of that then right here, you’re going to have a pre-sale page, so you have a sales page could have a article sales letter.
If you want all right here, you’re going to have the purchase okay – and you just do one offer right here, but you have an email address right, so we’re going to do that to do here. It is you my friend have an email over here. You can follow up and sell stuff forever, and you know it’s a buyers list and if they bought from you want you’re going to buy from you again, it’s just outwards alright and boom right here you got emails, you can follow up forever.
Send them here send them to other offers, etc. Okay, that is super duper. Duper duper ooper, powerful. Okay, I want you to know that, so that’s the funnel you can pick whichever one you want to do. This one will make more money. This one will get results too. You can also put an opt-in right before this, too, just to get higher click-through rates and more emails. If you want to do that, okay and that’s how you get crazy click there right, like I’m, not even giving all the value here, I’m trying to just give you the strategy which is so powerful, but in the paid information.
Obviously, there’s freaking crazy, freaking freaking brilliant powerful strategies there, but alright, let’s see what else we going to talk about alright guys. So you have everything set up right. You find a ton of articles that are going to be relative to the offer you find so step by step in order. What are we going to cover here, and this is what we have to do – we have to pick a niche, then we have to be on two networks.
We have to pick a bunch of offers that we think are good. Then we have clickfunnels. Of course, you have to use quick funnels for this click. Phones is the best check out link in the description for it and sign up and then what you’re going to do dude. This is so powerful. I love talking about this because I don’t really talk about the crazy strategies, so you pick your niece. You pick a bunch of offers.
You stand up your sales funnel you connect with your autoresponder, could be Aweber or get response to your market here or whatever you wan na do like I prefer Aweber. I will have an affiliate link for that. Eventually, I should sign up for it right now. After this, but anyway you do that and then you pick a bunch of articles you want to show up on, for you, debt selected, eesh, okay, and even if you want you could show up on specific websites you want to do is so all right.
You set your budget, you set your cost per click. I told you about how to do that. You create your ad alright and you run traffic and dude, I’m Tony right now. This is powerful and I’ll. See you in the next article binge read. The other articles check out links in the description and go take action. Peace out
