English, Finance, 1 season, 77 episodes, 1 day, 10 hours, 50 minutes
About
Shortly after selling my first successful offers on the internet, I curiously started researching how legendary, rich dead marketers launched their offers before the internet. How did they pull millions off the table without the ease of social media and email lists? Did they even need large followings before launching their offer? I was shocked by what I learned, and even more shocked when I used these launch strategies to pull millions of dollars for my own offer launches! The internet is a crutch. Facebook ads have corrupted the word “campaign.” It’s time we internet marketers learn these classic launch strategies and reclaim what it means to launch a wildly lucrative offer. Get your creative juices juiced in preparation for OfferLaunch, the biggest event of the year. Welcome to Launch for Profit. Learn more at: https://launchforprofit.com/

Mailing 8,847 Letters (to you)

Direct mail rocks. While other platforms are getting overloaded, direct mail is increasing its ROI. Here is a 5-part mailer (going to almost 2,000 people) that we're using to promote my event.  I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again—a great funnel is great, but it all depends on your launch strategy. The funnel is there to catch all the cash, but you need to generate the noise and direct attention towards the funnel… There are a lot of ways to do that, a lot of cool campaigns and strategies (that I’ll also be teaching at OfferLaunch Pad). One of them is direct mail. Yep, direct mail still works! In this episode, I’ll share how we planned the direct mail campaign for the OfferLaunch event and how each letter was designed to attract and generate the sales-based noise. So check out how I lace all the letters together... Key takeaways: How I plan the campaigns for my live events (00:57) Here’s what sparked the idea for this campaign (04:09) Figuring out how to do a creative direct mail campaign (08:27) This is what the first piece of the mail looks like (10:06) Here’s the secret… welcome to the campaign (15:50) How I made the direct mail campaign happen (17:58) These are the things you can learn at my next event (19:01) Additional resources Get your ticket for OfferLaunch Pad 2020 and learn my launch secrets!

How I Create Speeches And Frameworks

This is the process I use for creating my frameworks for products and speeches. If you have any forward-facing material, you can use it too. It’s not an easy fix, but over time, this will make your stuff world-class…  The key is always simplicity. Make your material easily digestible, with your audience in mind. You’re making this for them, not for you.  Also, practice! I spend hours practicing my material, even if I know exactly what I’ll be talking about. If you’re getting on the stage, you want your message to come across in a clear and engaging way, and you can’t just wing that. Another great idea: find your core topics and really dig deep into that material. Make it your business to become an expert for those topics and have core material always ready to go. The greatest trick of all is having a developed framework in your mind… How does that work exactly? Tune in to find out!   Key takeaways: How I upped my teaching game between events (00:57) Coming up with new stuff vs. perfecting what you have (05:41) Practicing is a crucial step if you want to get better (10:02) Why it’s a good idea to have stock speeches ready (16:25) How to develop a framework and think faster (19:54) Become the best in the world at what you do (22:40) What I’m obsessed about—my gift to the marketplace (27:38)   Additional resources Check out Offer Launch and get your ticket now!

My Early "Gray Hat" Email Mistake

Not all lists, opt-ins, or leads are created equal. About 7 years ago I got a little too close to the ethics line on an email campaign. Here's what I did and what I learned… You can have a list with a million emails, but that doesn’t mean these are leads. Traffic is great, but unless you get conversions, you will go broke. In this episode, I want to talk about email lists, distribution, and how to turn an opt-in into a real lead… I also want to tell you about the time I went “gray hat”. I’ve since only been doing “white hat” marketing, but aside from the ethics issue, this thing I did didn’t even work!  Let’s find out why…  Key takeaways: My first real learning opportunity (00:58) It’s all about the conversion rates (05:39) So here’s what I did (and why it didn’t work) (09:22) Why opt-ins are not leads, at least not yet (13:14) What can you get in my Offer Launch event (18:33) Don’t be afraid to follow up until they buy(20:25) Additional resources Learn how to launch for profit Offer Launch Get Russell Brunson’s book Expert Secrets Get your free the Lucrative Launch PDF for more strategies!

The First DIRTY Spam Email

Let’s go down for a little marketing history lesson. WHEN did "spamming" start? WHO started it? WHY? Because when we look at history, we understand that there’s no such thing as “internet marketing”. Marketing is a set of principles, not platforms—we just use the platforms to do the principles. So from the first direct mail campaign and the first spam email to today’s paid ad campaigns and free distribution platforms… Marketing remains the same, the same set of principles for everyone who does it.  And if you get those principles, then you can be a great marketer on EVERY platform, the old and the new. In this episode, I want to take a look at that history and also talk about what marketing really, actually is. Let’s jump right in! Key takeaways: A short history of the internet (01:05) The first email, the first online purchase... (03:12) The internet is still very, very new (10:15) The old ways of marketing are still worth it (11:58) What marketing ISN’T and why you can’t “miss out” (14:08) So what is the actual definition of marketing (17:58) A quick summary of different marketing definitions (20:18) What my event OfferLaunchpad is going to be about (21:59) Additional resources Get on the waiting list for my one-time, virtual event OfferLaunchpad that’s set to increase cash flow to your existing offers Register for the free virtual summit Your Final Offer Get your free the Lucrative Launch PDF for more strategies!

The Question That Upgrades My Business Every 6 months

It didn't start on purpose, but about every 6 months, I tend to ask ONE very important question. It's a hard question to answer, but answering it forces my business structure to upgrade.  Every time I asked this question, something crucial changed that allowed me to make more money, have more time, be more productive.  This question is also important because it stops you from comparing yourself to other people.

Rich Student, Poor Student

Welcome back to Launch for Profit everyone! In this episode, I want to talk about my experiences as both a student and a teacher. If you’re just starting out and learning new skills, this is the episode you need to hear.  First of all: Tthe teacher does NOT make the student. If you just listen to the lessons and do the assigned tasks, you won’t get far. You need to be PROACTIVE in your approach to your own education. No one cares about your success more than you do. You can’t put your fate in the hands of your teachers. They’re there to guide you, but you need to implement and apply that knowledge at every turn. Another point I want to make: don’t be embarrassed to sell and don’t be afraid to reuse old campaigns. In fact, replicate the things that were successful in the past.  I’ll expand on all this in the episode, so go listen right now! Key takeaways: Don’t complain, apply the knowledge you get (01:00) The biggest mistake a student can make (03:31) Your teacher can’t care about your success more than you (05:01) Paying the teacher doesn’t mean automatic success (06:54) Replicating the previous success models is key (09:53) Learn from your own experiences as a customer (14:05) If you want to get rich, don’t take advice from broke people (18:03) Additional resources Start your free trial at ClickFunnels today!

How I Stay in Flow With High Energy

Welcome back to Launch for Profit! This episode will be a bit different than the others! I want to talk about willpower, mindset, and the tips and tricks I learned that helped me succeed. I’m often asked: “Steve, how do you stay 'on' all the time? How do you get into 'flow' so quickly?" This is what I want to answer today. I really believe that willpower doesn’t exist, it doesn’t help much. It’s all about setting yourself up to do what you need to do.  What helps me is setting up my environment and dedicating space to certain tasks. When I sit at my desk, this is my work time. When I’m in my living room, that’s my time to relax. So how do I stay ‘on’? Let me tell you, I don’t always want to work. I don’t always want to show up and do what I have to do. But I do it anyway because I set up my environment so that it’s easy to do whatever needs doing.  Today I’ll tell you how I did that, what I learned in all these years, and how you can apply some of these methods too. Let’s dive right in!   Key takeaways: Learning how to learn and overcome the mindset of failure (01:47) The first step is being direct and HONEST with yourself (06:22) The choice is always in your hands, no need to feel forced (09:02) Creating an environment that sets you up for success (12:12) The routines I set up that help me show up and do things (17:36) My approach to problem-solving and finding solutions (22:14) Finding the balance and understanding your own flow (27:47)   Additional resources Download the Lucrative Launch PDF for more strategies  Reserve your spot for “insider access” workshop with me And get your free trial at ClickFunnels!

Direct Mail Models Used Online

Hello and welcome back to Launch for Profit! In this episode, I show two successful direct mail campaigns (one of them is mine) and how to use the same lessons online. The principles of launching don't care about the platform—a message that converts will convert anywhere. When you think about marketers before the internet, how did they sell stuff? They used direct mail. This just means they sent out physical mail, they crafted campaigns and sent them to people. And the thing is, direct mail still works. It still works, I used it in some of my campaigns, and it absolutely worked. There’s also a lot of lessons to learn from direct mail strategies, lessons that can be transferred online. Because the fact is, the platform doesn’t really matter all that much. If you have a good message, a converting message, it will work whether you mail it out or put it on TikTok. So let’s dive right into it and talk about some great direct mail campaigns!  Key takeaways: Understanding why and how direct mail works (00:57) How one guy got a job of his dreams using direct mail (06:00) You need to repeat the pitch in every piece of the campaign (11:33) How I did the Dream 100 campaign through direct mail (14:14) Here’s why market saturation is actually a good thing (19:19) The three most important things to learn in this episode (20:07) Additional resources Download the Lucrative Launch PDF for more strategies  Reserve your spot for “insider access” workshop with me And get your free trial at ClickFunnels!

Solving Low Cashflow

Welcome back to Launch for Profit! In this episode, I will talk about my go-to methods to increase cash flow from current offers. Low cash flow is rarely about a bad offer, and I’ll tell you what you need to do to get the money flowing in. The one thing you always need to remember: money is a byproduct of marketing. If you’re not getting enough cash from your sales, that’s usually because your product is not attracting enough attention.  So before you go and try to fix or change or invent a new product, ask yourself: what more could I do to properly market this thing? Am I having enough sales-based events? Are my campaigns strong?  In this episode, I’ll tell you how Albert Lasker invested orange juice and saved a company through marketing.  I’ll tell you how I do it, and I’ll tell you how you can do it, so be sure to tune in!

Hello everyone, welcome back to Launch for Profit! Today, I want to dive deep into the psychology of sales, specifically, how to craft a great sales message.  The key to any good sales campaign is customer research.  You need to know where your customers are on their journey.

In this episode, I’m going to talk about how I position a sales message so that it CONVERTS, and I’ll tell you how Russel did it, and how David Ogilvy did it for Dove.

Campaigns Aren't Really About Your Product

Welcome back to Launch for Profit! In this episode, I’m talking about reusable marketing. Here’s the bomb: you don’t have to recreate your campaigns every time.  I often get a question: Steve, how do I make something profitable again? Do I need a new campaign? Nope! Let’s say you launch a campaign and get some sales. That means it’s working. And if after a while, you want to relaunch that product, just use the same campaign.  It’s as simple as that! People often think that they have to reinvent the wheel all the time, but that takes a lot of brainpower and energy. When you hit gold, you want to keep that cash flowing in. And if you’re thinking that your customers sick of getting the same message, that’s not true.  More likely, by the time you get sick of repeating it, it will be the time that people finally start to notice your offer.  If you want answers to more of your questions, I’m doing a Workshop for Profit, where you get two or three days of consultation time with me.  Check that out and tune in today to learn more about reusable marketing!   Key takeaways: One of the most common questions I get (02:08) Relaunching an offer again… and making money again (02:44) Giving your customers another opportunity to purchase (06:51) The real purpose of a campaign (hint: it’s not the product) (09:08) One of the crucial principles I learned about money and time (12:51) There’s no need to give up on reusing something that converts (16:09) It takes a lot of reminding before someone says YES (18:51) Give up the false belief that your message is getting annoying (23:29) The best way to get your questions answered by yours truly (25:29)   Additional resources Sign up for the Workshop for Profit Download the Lucrative Launch PDF  Get your free trial at ClickFunnels So if you want to turn your incredible offer into a cash flow online, be sure to subscribe and tune in for new episodes!

A Short Road To The Thicker Wallet

Welcome back to another episode of Launch for Profit! Today I’m going to share one of the most effective, cashflow-increasing practices that I ever did. Russel Brunson once asked how would I get by if I had to start from scratch, with no list or following. The trick was, you only get 30 days to get it done. At the moment, that was exactly my situation, so I took to this challenge with passion! What would your strategy be? Because let me tell you, out of the 30 people Russel interviewed for this challenge, all of them, including me, spent the majority of those 30 days on sales and generating sales-based attention. You can learn all these strategies in the book called 30 Days. So go read that and then ask yourself: Are you dedicating enough time for marketing and sales?

Challenges Of Transitioning From Launch, To Evergreen

Hi everyone and welcome back! In this episode, I wanted to bring your attention to evergreen strategies and systems. Once an offer is successfully launched, there’s a lot you can do to keep cash flowing consistently, and today we’ll see how that’s done.  The trick is, launch campaigns and evergreen campaigns require a different set of skills. If you’re anything like me, you get excited about the launch, about getting an offer out the door.  But I’ve often fallen into the same trap—I forget to look back and turn my funnels and my offers back on. You can still make money off old offers. You just need to evergreen them. Plug them into existing systems and jumpstart consistent sales.  I realized I haven’t been doing this, so this quarter, we decided not to do any new projects. We’re just looking back and seeing which funnels can be turned on again. We are developing a great process, and there’s a lot I want to share with you today.  You can see what I’m talking about in a live case study over at Your Final Offer. I’ve asked marketing giants what would be their one final offer. Something that could generate money for years to come.  So if you’re tired of living launch to launch and you want to establish a sustainable cash flow, be sure to tune in today! Key takeaways: Looking back at things that worked and asking are they STILL working (01:06) The process is different for launching and evergreening offers (04:00) One successful funnel can set you up for life if you evergreen it (06:38) Launching and evergreening are two different processes (08:44) Even if your attention shifts away from a funnel, leave a system in place (10:20) Different systems and strategies to use when evergreening an offer (12:31) Ask yourself what would your final offer be (and get consistent sales) (15:32) Even the break-even or list-building funnels can become great evergreens (17:30) Anyone can fall into the Launch Loop trap—learn how to get consistent cash in (19:07) Additional resources Go to Your Final Offer to see how evergreening works Download the Lucrative Launch PDF  Check out Traffic Secrets by Russell Brunson Get your free trial at ClickFunnels So if you want to turn your incredible offer into a cash flow online, be sure to subscribe and tune in for new episodes!

Why The Rich DO Pay Their Fair Share of Taxes

Welcome back to Launch for Profit! In this episode, I’m going to talk about taxes. That’s right. Specifically, I’m going to explain why I think that the rich do in fact pay their fair share. And I’m going to tell you how to play the game right.  First off, there are always people who are not paying their legal share, and those can be both rich and poor people. There are always those who try to sidestep the system.  But here’s the thing: if you understand the tax system and if you play by its rules, you don’t have to pay that many taxes. Taxes are not a penalty program—they’re there to incentivize businesses to invest in certain parts of the economy.  And if the IRS is happy, then the rich ARE paying their fair share. That’s it, that’s all. This is going to be an emotionally charged episode, but you know I feel passionate about this.  It’s going to be useful to everyone who’s afraid of making more money because they’re afraid they’re going to have to pay more taxes. A lot of people out there don’t understand how wealth works, so let me give you some tips and tricks! Buckle up and tune in, this one is going to be wild! Key takeaways: Why I’m talking about this and why I think it’s helpful to you (01:23) Paying taxes is not patriotic and never has been—here’s why (5:47) How tax breaks function: taxes are not a penalty but an incentive (11:20) If you get a tax refund, you’re not playing the game right  (18:16) Taxes are not political and the tax code is not black and white (21:18) Additional resources Get the Tax-Free Wealth book  Download the Lucrative Launch PDF  Check out Traffic Secrets by Russell Brunson Get your free trial at ClickFunnels So if you want to turn your incredible offer into a cash flow online, be sure to subscribe and tune in for new episodes!

Launches That Cause CHARGED Emotion

Welcome back to Launch for Profit! We’ve been doing really well with this new podcast, so thank you for listening! In this episode, I will teach you how to generate positive attention for your brand. Trying to break a new market with your products or services can be a daunting task. There is a LOT of work to be done, and it takes a long time.  But that’s just one option. Today I will tell you about another strategy, the one that I used to launch most of my products.  Instead of starting a new topic, think about social issues that you believe in. There’s a lot of attention around these issues. You can find positive and meaningful ways to tap into that sphere. I’m a huge proponent of capitalism. So that’s my thing, and by putting it front and center, I immediately become a voice for likeminded people. I also filter out the people who wouldn’t go for my products anyway. So what’s something you believe in? How can you supercharge your launches to make them more impactful? Let’s find out!  Key takeaways: The one thing I learned in the army that was a game-changer (3:07) Why I would never tie a political stance to a brand (6:31) Creating attention where there is none is not the only option (8:54) How to surf the wave of already existing attention to raise your profile (12:51) The best way to emotionally charge your launch and get an automatic following (16:46) How I launched my products on the back of an existing movement I believe in (22:07) Additional resources Visit Capitalist Swag to see how it’s done Download the Lucrative Launch PDF  Check out Traffic Secrets by Russell Brunson Get your free trial at ClickFunnels   So if you want to turn your incredible offer into a cash flow online, be sure to subscribe and tune in for new episodes!

The Death of Campaigns

In this episode, I’m going to talk about campaigns, what a campaign is, and what it most definitely is not. The fact is, you can have the best product on the market, but that doesn’t mean it’s going to sell well. Cash is a byproduct of expertly crafted marketing—that was true 100 years ago, and it’s true today.  Let me tell you—a Facebook campaign or an email campaign—that’s not really a campaign. It can be a part of a campaign, but you need to do much more. You need to have these small steps leading up to a big event. I’m going to dive deep into the art behind campaigns today. I’ll tell you about the two types of campaigns you need to understand and use. That’s the only way you will sell your products and offers.  So get ready, because we’re going to learn some amazing stuff today!
