About this course

It doesn't matter what you are trying to do, chances are that someone has already done it, better than you can. Because they tested and perfected it, putting TONS of money in it. 

Success is a two-step approach to overcome this problem and you need to be doing both:

  1. Use the "templates" that the successful companies found successful
  2. THEN you do your own testing

Most people fail because they skip Step #1 entirely and keep trying #2.Or they are not even aware that #1 exists.Or they fit the wrong template to their situation.On top of this, they are SO convinced that going their own way will work...The other version is also fatal - to copy everything and discard your unique situation.I have been studying marketing for years and the above was my most important realization.  I realize that you may not be a genius in blog design. Me either.

I use affordable tools and templates like this one from the Thrive Themes landing page template library or the Elementor landing page template library .

These were built for conversion and they already have marketing built into them, all you need to do is pick the template you need and replace the text.

Build A Template Library

This is a process that can take months, but it is important.

Step 1. Find 20-30 competitor websites in your niche. You can check affiliate networks like Clickbank, JVZoo, Facebook ads.

Step 2. Take note of their highly sophisticated sales pages, video sales letters, etc and save them. Let’s say you promote physical products. You happen to come across this intriguing LED light FB ad.

You would immediately save the ad, visit the landing page and save that too — I created a folder just for this and named it “Real Site Files”.

In both Google Chrome and Firefox go to the top right corner and open the scroll-down menu. Under More Tools in Chrome, in the Main Menu (top right corner) in Firefox you find Save Page As and you can save it as an HTML page on your computer and open it any time in the future.

This is going to be a resource for you, a kind of a swipe file. This way you will never be out of ideas.

Step 3. Take a non-vital email account and sign up for their newsletters.

Step 4. Take note of what emails they are sending, subject lines, confirmation page they are using.

Step 5. Compile a list of products they are selling. Tripwires, upsells, core products, etc.

Step 6. Narrow the list down to 5-10 products that fit your site. Make sure the product is great, otherwise you are shooting yourself into the foot.

Make sure the advertising is really good, that there is a sophisticated funnel, with sales letter, etc. Ideally you should use the product that you want to promote.  

Become an affiliate of these products if you want to promote them.

The Basics of Profitability 8 Lessons

Don’t Reinvent The Wheel

It doesn't matter what you are trying to do, chances are that someone has already done it, better than you can. Because they tested and perfected it, putting TONS of money in it.

The Math To 100K Per Year

How many items do you need to sell in order to make that much money?

Here are some of the breakdowns, find the one that fits you best.

To be a successful creator you don’t need an audience of millions. To make a living, you need only a thousand true fans.

Red Ocean vs Blue Ocean

Red ocean is the known market space, where companies try to outperform their rivals to grab a greater share of the existing market. Cutthroat competition turns the ocean bloody red. Hence, the term ‘red’ ocean.

Blue ocean is the unknown market space, unexplored and untouched by competition. Just like the seas in the real world – vast, deep and powerful in terms of opportunity and profitable growth.

Blue Ocean — The New Opportunity

You don't normally want to go for an isolated unproven niche, because there is not enough demand.

But how do you sell your product in a saturated niche (also called red ocean)?

Selling The Dream With Blue Ocean

​In the early 1900s, only 7 percent of the American population was brushing teeth. Selling toothpaste was financial suicide. There was already an army of door-to-door salesmen pushing dubious tooth powders and elixirs, most of them going broke. 

The Secret Behind Traffic & Earnings

Building Authority & Credibility 3 Lessons

Inspire & Guide People To Achieve Something

​The most important part of your business has nothing to do with your product, ​creating content or getting traffic...

We are not here to sell a product. We are here to create a movement, change people's lives and sales will follow.

Fake It Till You Make It?

If you can’t actually help people get results, then you will probably not last long in the wild ​world of the internet. This is one of my most important tips for making money.

Teaching Your Roadmap

As I mentioned before, even though you ​need to sell your product in order to make money, ​business is not about selling.

Don't you hate commercials? All they tell you is buy, buy, buy.

​If you want to sell, teach your roadmap instead.

Copywriting 7 Lessons

The Most Important Skill To Learn

​In this ​lesson we're going to unlock what many consider to be the key to converting any business idea into reality.

So what is this always in demand "profit skill"? The one skill almost all successful business owners will admit is in large part responsible for their success?

It's copywriting.

Hemingway’s Pencil

1,000-2,500 words. That is the number of words an average person writes a day.

Most people write with the goal of accomplishing tasks, without much thought to the structure or the deeper meaning behind the words…

Contrarian Copy

After the headline the next part of your text is your Introduction.

Sean Vosler has been using the Contrarian Copy structure as a starting point to all of his pieces.

It’s perfect for creating landing pages, webinars, video scripts, etc. and you can easily start using it today if you read this outline.

Breaking False Belief Patterns

For someone to change their future, they have to make a decision. This is true for you personally, and second off, for all the people you’re serving/selling to.

False beliefs are the biggest block to selling. But how do you break false beliefs?

The Stories You Need To Tell

The first story we tell is called the origin story. It is basically your story that explains how you found out about the thing you promote, why you care so much about it.

An Example Sory: Tray Lewellen Flashlight

The G700 Offer was called the best, biggest online campaign since 2002.

One guy purchased a flashlight one time. And I was like, “Oh, that’d be kind of cool to sell these guys.”

3 More Types of Stories

The “Big Domino” concept was invented by Tim Ferriss and popularized by Russell Brunson: It’s that ONE thing that you pull out, which will take all the smaller dominos down as well (or make them irrelevant).

The Value Ladder 3 Lessons

How A Value Ladder Doubles Your Sales

A value ladder is a range of products that ascend in price, from your lowest value offer (used as bait to increase list size, prove your value and boost awareness) to your highest priced premium product.

If you only have one price or offering you could be leaving money on the table at both ends of the ladder. Let me show you.

Front-End vs Back-End

Understand, your Front-End is only there to break you even on your promotional/ advertising costs.

It’s your Middle, your Back-End and your Continuity — that’s what really make up your profits.

How To Break Even Using Value Ladders

If you’re a small business owner and you’re only doing one or two follow-ups, you’re losing business.

Most people try to follow up with "email marketing" or random "newsletters". Unfortunately that isn’t enough.

Funnel Conversion Theory 5 Lessons

Products vs Offers

No matter how mediocre (or bad) a product is, you can always sell it with the right marketing. (You'll get refund requests though.)

Ingredients for Creating Offers

Products don't sell themselves - offers do.

In the 20th century offers were called "schemes" and there were so called "scheme men" that were called in and paid by advertising companies to create offers that sell toothpaste, coffee, etc.

Funnel Hacking

If you want to understand this concept, then first you need to read the following quote from Tony Robbins:

“If you want to achieve success, all you need to do is find a way to model those who have already succeeded.”

What’s The Big Fuss About ClickFunnels?

I don't use ClickFunnels... But you need to read this lesson because there is something you MUST MUST MUST understand and copy from them, otherwise you are completely missing the boat!!!

Funnel Hierarchy

Building a funnel is like playing with Legos. You combine the building blocks in order to achieve a specific result.

The Front End Lead Funnel 11 Lessons

The Core Problem

When ​pulling prospects into a funnel, first we need to know the problem that we want to solve for our prospect​.

Low Hanging Fruit – Tripwire

Tripwires are a really good strategy to have.

Especially for beginners, if you are new to selling, it is a great way to gain momentum.

It is a lot faster to put together and a good way to test your product idea.

Landing Pages vs Opt-in Forms — Huge Difference

Is there a difference between opt-in forms, landing pages and squeeze pages?

Yes. Regardless if you want to sell a product or collect email addresses, landing pages are a lot more effective than opt-in forms.

Lead Magnets That Convert

Many marketers have a total disconnection between the customer, the opt-in freebie, the email content and the product they are trying to sell.

This is the primary mistake.

Creating High-Converting Squeeze Pages

A squeeze page is a more specific type of landing page. Squeeze pages are designed to serve one core function: to collect ("squeeze" out) a visitor's email address.

Adding Opt-in Forms Anywhere Conveniently

I know I said that landing pages convert better than opt-in forms. However that doesn't mean that you shouldn't grab all opportunities to get opt-ins.

The Thank You Page

Once they sign up, they will be redirected to a confirmation page where they will be instructed to click the confirmation link.

Sample Welcome Sequence

For legitimate marketers, email marketing is still the most effective channel to reach your customers.

Did you know that 91% of all consumers check their e-mail daily? Did you know that 66% of US customers over 15 have purchased at least one product via an email campaign?

Create A High-Converting Sales Page

Just like ads, emails and pretty much any content, sales pages are created using the following formula:

  • Hook
  • Story
  • Offer

The Self Liquidating Funnel

You have probably heard the saying "Money is in the list".

Not building a list is a huge mistake because that is how you build a relationship with your audience. I recently realized that concentrating only on your list is just as big of a mistake.

Don’t Re-invent The Wheel

It doesn't matter what you are trying to do, chances are that someone has already done it, better than you can. Because they tested and perfected it, putting TONS of money in it.
