Youtube + Skool = $230,298/month — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00Over the past 2 years, I've done more
- 0:01than $5000000 with my online education
- 0:03business. And I won this thing called
- 0:04the School Games twice, and because of
- 0:06that, won a $100,000 check from Alex
- 0:09Hormozi after creating a $230,000
- 0:12a month online course in [music] just 30
- 0:14days. And how I did it all comes down to
- 0:16a very simple equation, and that is
- 0:19YouTube plus School, or an online
- 0:20education business, plus ads equaled
- 0:22money. So, in this video, I'm going to
- 0:24break down the exact system that I used,
- 0:26literally step by step, how I did it.
- 0:29Now, before we do anything, we have to
- 0:30talk about the foundations and
- 0:31fundamentals, because if you don't get
- 0:33those right, nothing else will work.
- 0:34Just think about it like this. If we're
- 0:36trying to promote something that people
- 0:38are not interested in, you won't make
- 0:40any sales. And if we're creating YouTube
- 0:41videos around topics that people are not
- 0:43interested in listening to, we won't get
- 0:45any views, and we won't make any sales,
- 0:46either. So, you truly need to build your
- 0:48house on a solid foundations, because if
- 0:51you don't, then nothing else will work.
- 0:52And to be more specific, like, what is
- 0:54the foundations or the fundamentals?
- 0:56Well, first of all, we need a specific
- 0:58avatar. Like, who are we selling to, and
- 1:00what are we selling to them? And in my
- 1:02case, I'm actually helping three
- 1:04different, but very similar avatars, but
- 1:06all of them I am helping to achieve the
- 1:08same transformation. The first one I'm
- 1:10helping is creators who already have an
- 1:12audience, and they need to help to
- 1:13monetize their audience by building an
- 1:15online education business, and then
- 1:16scale it to 10 to 100k per month. The
- 1:18second group of people that I work with
- 1:19are coaches, consultants, and experts
- 1:21who wants to monetize their skills and
- 1:23expertise with a profitable and scalable
- 1:25info product. And then finally, I work
- 1:26with people who already have a course,
- 1:28and they just want to scale it and make
- 1:30more money from their info business.
- 1:31Now, the more specific you can be with
- 1:34your avatar and your transformation, the
- 1:36better. Because every single time I work
- 1:37with somebody who has a hard time
- 1:39scaling their offer, it always comes
- 1:41down to their fundamentals. And they're
- 1:42not clear on who they're selling to, and
- 1:44what they're selling to them, and what
- 1:45the promised transformation is. Now,
- 1:47after we have that in place, and we know
- 1:49who we're selling to, and what we're
- 1:50selling, we need to also figure out the
- 1:52right money model. And I recommend
- 1:53selling a digital product because it's
- 1:55scalable, and you can also make it super
- 1:58profitable when you build it the right
- 1:59way. And I always host my online
- 2:01education business on this platform
- 2:02called school. And on school, you can
- 2:04really do two different things. You can
- 2:06have a low-ticket subscription money
- 2:08model, or you can have a higher-ticket
- 2:09product. And there are people making a
- 2:11lot of money with low-ticket
- 2:12subscriptions, and there's a lot of
- 2:13people making a lot of money with
- 2:14high-ticket products as well. Now, the
- 2:16easiest way I found to really dial in
- 2:18your avatar, your promised
- 2:19transformation, and your offer is to do
- 2:22market research, where you simply look
- 2:24at a successful competitor in your
- 2:26space, and then we simply look at their
- 2:28offer and their positioning, and then we
- 2:30take inspiration from that. Because if
- 2:31you can find a competitor who's already
- 2:33figured out what the market wants, and
- 2:34they have an offer selling to that
- 2:36market that meets that demand, and
- 2:38they're making a lot of money from it,
- 2:39it's literally served to us on a silver
- 2:41platter what to do and how to sell to
- 2:43that same target audience as well. And
- 2:45you can literally go through all of
- 2:47their ads. You can go through their
- 2:48marketing material. You can check their
- 2:49funnels. You can check their YouTube
- 2:51videos. You're not copying their
- 2:52product. You're not copying their brand.
- 2:54You simply take inspiration from what
- 2:56they're doing and what the market is
- 2:57already buying. And I called this the
- 2:59Apple strategy because Tim Cook, he has
- 3:01the saying was the previous CEO of
- 3:03Apple. He said that here Apple, we're
- 3:05not trying to be the first, we're trying
- 3:06to be the best. Meaning that they don't
- 3:08care about being the first to market
- 3:10with a brand new product. They simply
- 3:12look at what their competitors are doing
- 3:13already, and that has massive market
- 3:15demand, and then they make a product and
- 3:17a better product to basically steal that
- 3:19competition or steal that steal those
- 3:21customers essentially. And a great
- 3:23example of this is the iPhone. Apple
- 3:24didn't create the first mobile phone,
- 3:26but they saw that Motorola, Nokia,
- 3:28Blackberry, all of these other companies
- 3:30had a massive market demand. They were
- 3:32selling a ton of phones, and then people
- 3:34saw that. So, people, they didn't care
- 3:36about being the first, they cared about
- 3:37being the best. They tried to create the
- 3:39best phone. They created the iPhone,
- 3:40which is an amazing phone, and now
- 3:42they're like one of the if not the
- 3:43biggest companies in the world by simply
- 3:45observing what's already working in the
- 3:47marketplace, and then trying to make
- 3:48that better. And this is what I
- 3:49recommend that you do as well, and this
- 3:51is what I help all the people with as
- 3:52well when we're dialing in our
- 3:54foundations and our fundamentals when
- 3:55we're starting an online education
- 3:56business. Just to look at what's already
- 3:58working. So, once you have those
- 4:00fundamentals in place, you know what to
- 4:02sell and who to sell to, and you know
- 4:03how to position your offer and all of
- 4:05these things, the next thing that we
- 4:06need is just getting as much traffic and
- 4:09as much attention as we humanly possible
- 4:11can. And I use a very simple equation
- 4:12for this, which is traffic plus
- 4:14conversion equals growth. The more
- 4:16traffic you get, the more of that
- 4:17traffic you convert, the more your
- 4:19business will [music] grow. Now, doing
- 4:21this is obviously easier said than done,
- 4:24which is why I use this system myself
- 4:26that I like to call the Traffic Nirvana.
- 4:28And it's used by some of the biggest
- 4:30entrepreneurs in the online education
- 4:32space today. People are making millions
- 4:34of dollars per week using this. [music]
- 4:36And Traffic Nirvana is really a mix of
- 4:38organic social media traffic combined
- 4:40with paid advertising. You just want to
- 4:42reach as many new people online for free
- 4:44by just posting free content, meaning
- 4:46that you don't have to go to an ad
- 4:47platform and pay a bunch of money to
- 4:49make that [music] happen, but you're
- 4:50posting content to reach more people.
- 4:52All of your organic content basically
- 4:53does that for you. And what's powerful
- 4:55when you do this is that not only are
- 4:57you just reaching more people for free,
- 4:59but you can also build trust with them
- 5:01for free as well, which is [music]
- 5:02extremely hard to do with paid ads. So,
- 5:04the idea here is to try and reach as
- 5:06many people as we can that are potential
- 5:08prospects to our offer using organic
- 5:11content, and then we use retargeting ads
- 5:13on top of that to promote our actual
- 5:15offer and the thing that we're selling.
- 5:16And I'm always surprised by how few
- 5:18people actually know what retargeting is
- 5:20and how it works. And the power of
- 5:22retargeting is that you're only showing
- 5:23ads to people who have seen you online
- 5:25[music] before. And even if you haven't
- 5:27heard about retargeting before, I can
- 5:28bet a lot that you've experienced
- 5:30retargeting on your own phone every
- 5:31single day. As an example, you go to
- 5:33Amazon, you search for a new pair of
- 5:35Nike running shoes, and then you start
- 5:36to see those Nike running shoes all over
- 5:38the internet. They're on the TV, they're
- 5:40on YouTube, they're on ads on Instagram,
- 5:42you see them all over the place. That is
- 5:43retargeting. And you can use the same
- 5:45type of advertising for your own
- 5:47business as well and for your own offer,
- 5:48which is seriously powerful. So, in a
- 5:50nutshell, Traffic Nirvana is literally
- 5:52using organic content, like YouTube and
- 5:54Instagram, to reach new people at scale
- 5:57and then running retargeting ads to
- 5:58those people to your offer. And in my
- 6:00case, I run all of this traffic to a VSL
- 6:02[music] funnel. People can go to a page
- 6:04on our website, they can leave their
- 6:06contact details, and then they can get a
- 6:08free resource [music] in return. And
- 6:10then I'm basically moving them closer
- 6:12and closer to, again, book a call with
- 6:13my team, we present our offer, and then
- 6:15you can sell them. And all my traffic on
- 6:17social media with ads are going to the
- 6:19same place, in [music] this case, the
- 6:21VCL funnel. And by the way, if you want
- 6:22to see exactly what this funnel looks
- 6:24like, and the funnel that I'm using, and
- 6:25how I'm driving all my traffic from my
- 6:27organic socials to an online education
- 6:29product, and I have a how I've made
- 6:31millions of dollars online, you can
- 6:32click the link in my bio, or here below
- 6:34in the description, and I will show you
- 6:36how to start running grow an online
- 6:37education business, and exactly how I
- 6:39built my online education business to
- 6:41seven figures in my first seven months,
- 6:43and how I've helped hundreds of people
- 6:44by now to make 10 to 100K plus per month
- 6:46using the exact same system as well.
- 6:48Now, let's dive into the next part, and
- 6:50that is learning how to create a
- 6:51trust-building system. Because, yes, we
- 6:53need traffic, and we need as much
- 6:55traffic as we humanly possibly can get,
- 6:57and we also need a system that then
- 6:58convert our traffic into sales. But
- 7:00traffic alone isn't enough. To actually
- 7:02convert people into customers, we need
- 7:04trust. So, how do we build trust on the
- 7:06internet to sell more of our offers and
- 7:08services? I think the absolute best way
- 7:10to do this, hands down, is by posting
- 7:12long-form content, organic content,
- 7:15specifically using YouTube. Because you
- 7:16can educate your audience, people can
- 7:18get to know you better, they can see
- 7:19what you look like, how you talk, and
- 7:21hopefully eventually they will start to
- 7:23like you and trust you. That's why I'm
- 7:24making this video, because you might
- 7:25have found me through an ad, or found me
- 7:27on Instagram, and maybe you got an email
- 7:28from me sent as well, and now you're
- 7:30here watching this video, and you're
- 7:32spending time with me. You start to see
- 7:33what I look like, how I talk, how I
- 7:34move, and all of these things. And over
- 7:36time, you, hopefully, start to like me
- 7:38and trust me a bit more, which
- 7:39eventually can lead into you becoming a
- 7:41customer. So, even if you're somebody
- 7:43spending a lot of money on cold ads, you
- 7:45should still post YouTube videos every
- 7:47single week, because you can share those
- 7:49videos with your email list or your
- 7:51newsletter, and you can nurture your
- 7:53people, or your leads. So, even if
- 7:55you're not using YouTube as a traffic
- 7:57engine to reach new people, [music] you
- 7:58should definitely use it as a
- 7:59trust-building engine. And I've
- 8:01personally experienced this myself as a
- 8:03buyer, I don't know how many times. I've
- 8:05invested over $750,000
- 8:07by now into coaching, consulting,
- 8:09masterminds, all of that stuff. And I've
- 8:11always bought from people that I found
- 8:13on YouTube first. [music] So, I have
- 8:15this individual that I started watching
- 8:16on YouTube, and I think I did that for
- 8:18maybe like a week or like 10 days or
- 8:20something like that. And then he said
- 8:21something in the video that just
- 8:22clicked. And by now we're already like
- 8:24the individual. I find him intriguing. I
- 8:26find him interesting. I booked a call. I
- 8:28paid them $28,000, and I joined their
- 8:30mastermind and went to their events. And
- 8:32it all came from just watching organic
- 8:34content on YouTube. No ads, no nothing,
- 8:36just organic YouTube videos. So, YouTube
- 8:39together with an email newsletter is
- 8:41seriously powerful. So, just do this
- 8:43[music] to build trust, and I promise
- 8:45you that you will make more sales. And
- 8:46if you're somebody starting online
- 8:48education business from scratch, [music]
- 8:49this is by far one of the most powerful
- 8:51things you can do as well. Another thing
- 8:52that I wanted to throw into this video
- 8:53as well, which is a very powerful way to
- 8:55build trust and credibility at scale, is
- 8:57to use something I like to call
- 8:59propaganda ads. Basically, what a
- 9:00propaganda ad is is that you're running
- 9:02ads or retargeting ads in particular
- 9:04where you don't have any call to action
- 9:06on the ad. You're simply just using
- 9:07[music] videos where you are sharing
- 9:10content and sharing value and
- 9:11information. It's like a YouTube video,
- 9:13but you're sharing it with paid ads or
- 9:15paid money behind it. And it's a very
- 9:17powerful way as well to put content in
- 9:19front of the people who are in your
- 9:21target audience and sharing valuable
- 9:23information with them, but now it's a
- 9:25paid ad with basically the intention of
- 9:27just building trust and building
- 9:29authority and credibility, and hopefully
- 9:31get them to like you and trust you
- 9:32enough to eventually then book a call
- 9:34and and buy from you as well. So, now
- 9:35that you know how important it is to
- 9:37have the foundation and how to get
- 9:39traffic and conversion and then also
- 9:41build trust at scale, the next step is
- 9:43what separates the people from actually
- 9:45make it work and actually make it
- 9:47successful from the people that don't.
- 9:49And I call this how to win by default.
- 9:51And really what this comes down to is
- 9:53just learning a system and then sticking
- 9:55to that system long enough so that it
- 9:57actually starts working and then you can
- 9:58start to optimize it. And that means
- 9:59[music] keep posting your YouTube
- 10:01videos, keep sending your emails, keep
- 10:02running ads, keep running retargeting
- 10:04ads with the CTA to your funnel, or just
- 10:06keep running your propaganda ads with
- 10:07information content, and potentially
- 10:09even start running some cold ads as well
- 10:11to generate some new leads. And the
- 10:12reason why I call it win by default is
- 10:14because most people quit, and that's
- 10:16just the reality. And they might not
- 10:17just quit the business entirely, but
- 10:20they start posting videos and sending
- 10:22some emails. They do that for 3 weeks,
- 10:23and then they quit, and then they have
- 10:24another strategy, and then they have
- 10:26another funnel, and then they have
- 10:27another funnel, and they're they're
- 10:28constantly [music] scatterbrained doing
- 10:30different things. And I know that to be
- 10:31a fact because I've been going through
- 10:32that multiple times myself. And it was
- 10:34only when I decided on a system and one
- 10:37process and just stuck to that over time
- 10:39that things finally [music] started to
- 10:40work and I started to scale. And that is
- 10:42why I call it how to win by default
- 10:43because we're all scatterbrained, we're
- 10:45all having shiny object syndrome as
- 10:48human beings. We constantly want to test
- 10:49new [music] things, and if you can learn
- 10:50how to like shut that off and find a
- 10:52system that is working and sticking to
- 10:54that long enough, you will win by
- 10:56default because most people that you're
- 10:57competing with are going to quit
- 10:59anyways. And Henry Ford has a quote that
- 11:00I love. He said that successful people
- 11:02[music] make decisions quickly and they
- 11:04change them very slowly. Now, to round
- 11:06up this video, I want to talk about the
- 11:08final thing, and that is really the only
- 11:10two things that matter if you want to
- 11:12start running grow an online education
- 11:14business and make money online. And that
- 11:16is number one, to
- 11:17>> [music]
- 11:17>> generate leads and sales calls, and
- 11:19number two, conduct sales calls and
- 11:21close those sales calls. That's really
- 11:23it. So, if you're ever confused about
- 11:25what [music] to prioritize or what to do
- 11:27next, marketing and sales is normally
- 11:30what comes first. Obviously, you need a
- 11:31good product that actually delivers on
- 11:33your promised outcome. That's obviously
- 11:35super, super important, but at the end
- 11:37of the day, all that really matters is
- 11:39just reaching more prospects, getting
- 11:41them on calls, and selling [music] them.
- 11:42Run ads, make content, send your emails,
- 11:45post your YouTube videos, post your
- 11:46stories, post your reels, promote and
- 11:48push as much as you humanly possibly
- 11:50can. Fix your sales process, close as
- 11:52many leads as you humanly possibly can,
- 11:54and then build as much trust as you can
- 11:55over time as well, and just stick to
- 11:57[music] that and do that. So, that's
- 11:58really the whole system. Get the
- 12:00foundations right, use the traffic
- 12:01nirvana that I've been talking about,
- 12:03build trust at scale, win by default and
- 12:05learn how to win by default, and then
- 12:07focus on only two things that matter,
- 12:09which is really just generating calls
- 12:10and closing calls. And that's exactly
- 12:12how I used YouTube and school to do more
- 12:15than $5 million in the past 2 years.
- 12:17Now, if you want to learn how I help
- 12:18people to start one and grow online
