Latest / The Empire of Wealth / How To Turn Any Product Into A Viral Story
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Today we're going to cover how to create content that prints.
- 0:03Doesn't matter if it's organic content, doesn't matter if it's
- 0:05paid content, we're going to go over this ultimate money
- 0:09glitch that I just recently discovered. So one thing that's crazy, 7.5
- 0:14billion impressions. That's how many impressions that I've had across
- 0:17my businesses and my organic socials since I started business
- 0:21about eight years ago. To put that into perspective, the
- 0:24New York Times, the leading publication in the 1970s, had
- 0:28a daily circulation of a million copies. I think this
- 0:31was its peak. To get 7.5 billion impressions, 20,000 years
- 0:37of that daily circulation would need to be done. We
- 0:39truly live in a golden age of being able to
- 0:43get in front of audiences, both paid and organic. So
- 0:47my promise, it doesn't matter if you are completely creatively terrible,
- 0:54you don't understand how to use your iPhone camera, By
- 0:56the end of this video, you're going to be an
- 0:58expert and you're going to have a clear roadmap about
- 1:00how to create your first viral piece of content that
- 1:03more importantly doesn't just get views, it creates money. That's
- 1:07the main thing. It creates sales. You truly will just
- 1:10never look at social media the same because I haven't since.
- 1:13So we're going to go over that unbeatable formula. We're
- 1:15going to go through key emotions for virality and also
- 1:18sales for paid ads. We're going to talk about how
- 1:20to steal content ethically. I don't just want you going
- 1:22copying frame by frame everyone's videos. And we're going to
- 1:25talk about how to post a hundred times more because
- 1:27I'm so sick of you all posting once a day.
- 1:30If it works, post more than once a day. If
- 1:32it doesn't work, stop posting once a day. That's the truth.
- 1:35So this is the old formula. Everyone's seen this formula, right?
- 1:38So hook, body, CTA. This is my new formula. So
- 1:43this is the process. We're going to frame swipe, we're
- 1:46going to create a story, and we're going to scale.
- 1:49So if that doesn't make sense, it will in a second.
- 1:52I came up with this formula when I realized that
- 1:54content isn't new. It's been around forever. So we had
- 1:58initially the town criers that would stand in a square
- 2:01yelling things, which has basically been amplified through Twitter. We
- 2:05had the newspaper publications like the New York Times that
- 2:08progressed into cable TV. These guys had already perfected the formula.
- 2:12So we don't need to learn anything new. I studied
- 2:16how did they get the message across the best. The
- 2:20thing is, all of these publications and methods, they all
- 2:24knew the best way to get their message across, which
- 2:27was the story. There's a reason why we forget facts
- 2:32about history, but we remember mythology, like Zeus. We don't
- 2:37remember the exact year that world wars were on, when
- 2:41they finished, those kind of things. But we remember really
- 2:44cool stories. We don't remember the exact sales, revenue, or
- 2:48even business strategies of Steve Jobs, but we remember that
- 2:53he started in a garage. We remember all of the
- 2:55crazy stories that he had growing the brand. When I
- 2:59started on YouTube, so this was probably, I think one
- 3:03year in, two years in, I was getting decent traction,
- 3:06but it just stopped growing. I think that there was
- 3:09a certain amount of people that knew me from my brands,
- 3:12but I just could not get past this 200,000 point.
- 3:16All of my content, my probably maximum video was at 400,000 views.
- 3:21And I was like, I'm going to go back to e-commerce.
- 3:23That's where I make money. This was interesting. It's not growing.
- 3:27It's not worth my time. Then my last video that
- 3:31I post, we restructured the team. Everyone was moving on
- 3:34with different things, focusing on different things. I was like,
- 3:38we'll just have one more video. And the hook of
- 3:41this video, how I went to $ 500 to half a billion, well,
- 3:45not the hook, just the first five seconds is my
- 3:49name is Davey. This is my story. I then go
- 3:53on and tell all of the lessons that I had
- 3:55told in the past two years on these YouTube videos.
- 3:59They were exactly the same, but I changed one thing.
- 4:01I told a story first. I told the story and
- 4:04then I told the lesson. And this is because stories
- 4:08will go through the science and then we're going to
- 4:10watch some viral content. Stories impact the brain in a
- 4:13completely different way due to a process called neural coupling.
- 4:16So when I say he kicked the bull, your motor
- 4:20cortex fires as if you were kicking the bull. If
- 4:23I say a spider jumps out and he was very fearful,
- 4:27your amygdala will go. There'll be activity in that part
- 4:30of the brain. Rather than in stats and facts, it's
- 4:34only those two other areas of the brain getting activated.
- 4:37And there's been tons of studies that prove this. There
- 4:40was a study that Stanford did where they did two
- 4:42lots of presentations to people. One included stories. One didn't
- 4:46include stories, just had facts. 5% remembered the facts. 63%
- 4:51remembered the story-based presentations. So there's science to back it up. So,
- 4:56but here's the truth. Our stories are now 9 by 16.
- 4:58They're now vertical. So, Let's watch some content. Everyone ready?
- 5:02Speaker 2: Welcome back to another day in the life of two
- 5:04guys building the next big protein cookie business. Today we
- 5:07pulled off an industry first, and it wasn't easy. Over
- 5:09the last few months we've been grinding behind the scenes
- 5:11because y'all let us know how much you hated the
- 5:13fact that we use seed oils in our cookies. We
- 5:15get it. We heard you loudly. Here's the deal. The
- 5:17seed oils came from margarine, which is super common in
- 5:20baked goods and protein snacks you see on the shelves today.
- 5:23But we wanted to set a new standard. So back
- 5:24to the drawing board we went, testing different fat bases,
- 5:26and let me tell you, we failed.
- 5:28Speaker 1: A lot.
- 5:28Speaker 2: Like a lot a lot. But after months of trial
- 5:30and error and sacrificing way too many cookies, we nailed it.
- 5:33Speaker 1: So they go on to say that they cracked the
- 5:35cookie code. Now let's compare that content to a video
- 5:42where they go, we now create a cookie that can
- 5:46reduce inflammation by X percent because it no longer has
- 5:52seed oils. Just doesn't have the same ring to it.
- 5:56It doesn't bring the person on the journey. And the
- 5:59fact that they talked about the emotion behind it, the
- 6:02failures that they had, make you far more likely to
- 6:06purchase or at least take notice. So, the next one.
- 6:26So there wasn't even a voiceover there. But you understood
- 6:30the story. It was about someone that was overweight that
- 6:33trained for an Ironman. There was like probably six clips
- 6:36in that. And they were probably from, I don't know,
- 6:40a few years apart, I guess. Maybe not even a
- 6:42couple of years apart, depending on how hard he worked.
- 6:45But it was an incredible story. It was incredibly motivating.
- 6:48Went super, super viral. Now, this is a viral post
- 6:53on my page, which is 45,000 likes. It wasn't even
- 6:57a video, but it was still telling a story. So
- 7:00here's how you can make a viral post in the
- 7:02next 30 minutes after this presentation. Go write down the
- 7:06past 10, 20 years of your business life. Write one
- 7:10iconic thing that happened in each of those years. Make
- 7:14sure you include the failures. Make sure you build up
- 7:16the hero's journey that they eventually succeed. And simply get
- 7:20a photo from that, put a text overlay, create a carousel,
- 7:24post it, and watch it go viral. So the interesting
- 7:27thing here is that this story that you see here
- 7:30on this carousel, it's the exact story that I told
- 7:35on that YouTube. It's just in a different format. And
- 7:38then I've told it on Twitter. I've just told it
- 7:40across mediums over and over in different ways. And it
- 7:45works every single time. Now let's cover what makes the
- 7:48story viral. So you're probably thinking it's the hook. It's
- 7:51the structure of the video. It's the trend overall. Or
- 7:56it's some random Instagram hack where you like something and
- 8:00add it as your close friend or something like that.
- 8:02But let's watch this video first. So it's just a
- 8:05video of a kid hugging his dad. And it said,
- 8:08I hugged him with love. He hugged me with hate.
- 8:11There's no hook. There's no structure. There's no hacks. 9.3
- 8:15million views. But there's a story in that. There's a
- 8:17relatable story in that. There's one thing that it has,
- 8:20which is so important. which is emotion. So here's a
- 8:23list of emotions that we can actually target in our
- 8:27videos to create powerful stories. Ask yourself, how does my
- 8:32product create curiosity? How does my product create moral outrage?
- 8:38How does my product create belonging, confusion? Just keep asking
- 8:43yourself those. What is a story that I can tell
- 8:46about that? Now, I don't think this is groundbreaking. But
- 8:50I think when paired with the next slide, I wanted
- 8:53to go a little bit deeper and I think it
- 8:55will really make sense for you. These are more techniques
- 8:59to drive that emotion and that virality. So we've got novelty, relatability,
- 9:05visual shock, trend relevance, credibility, and controversy. So we're gonna
- 9:09talk about how these strategies, these techniques can be paired
- 9:12with these emotions to tell viral stories. How do you
- 9:15feel about the cheap replicas in the market now? The
- 9:17most frustrating thing is when it's a blatant counterfeit product.
- 9:21There are so many out there that are like, they're thin,
- 9:24they smell bad, taken our patterns, put it on there.
- 9:27They obviously cut the quality down so much so that
- 9:30they can make more money. And that just really tarnishes
- 9:32our brand and our product. That's obviously illegal. So this
- 9:37is a story about counterfeits. I've used controversy because people
- 9:41are like, oh, you don't own the products. People are like, oh,
- 9:45the Snuggie existed before you, there was competing products out there.
- 9:48It also really frustrates people that certain people are breaking
- 9:53the law. So this ad probably made me over a
- 9:55million dollars in sales and you need to not be
- 9:59scared of getting some negative comments. You need to not
- 10:02be scared about creating some level of controversy for your
- 10:06brand because that will help it grow. So this is
- 10:10another piece of content. It talks initially about the hook,
- 10:19about the Oodie, then goes to the onesie, which we
- 10:27down here, it's a bit squished, sorry, I'll fix that.
- 10:32We've got $ 250, 000, a quarter of a million dollars we
- 10:33spent over two months, and we've made almost a million
- 10:36dollars in sales through this ad. So what's interesting about
- 10:41this video, the fact that it's relatable for people, It's
- 10:46relatable for the audience that ended up purchasing or viewing
- 10:49it because they already have an Oodie. So you need
- 10:53to understand where your audience is in terms of their
- 10:58life to become relatable. Proximity is relevant. This is why
- 11:03you remember this random story about the burger place around
- 11:07the corner. Maybe it's positive. Maybe it's that they have
- 11:10cockroaches and nobody else would ever remember that because It's
- 11:15so close. It's so relevant. And we've just created a
- 11:17bit of excitement there. This video here, I'll play it
- 11:20simply because it had 90 million views. I almost didn't
- 11:24include this one, but I love the visual shock behind it.
- 11:28And I'm going to explain how I think we can
- 11:29improve it. So humans love symmetry and balance. They love
- 11:34fluidity and predictability because it's creating a balance. scenario in
- 11:39the brain that they want to see to completion. They
- 11:41want to see the pattern. The reason why I added
- 11:44this video as well is because, unfortunately, there isn't a very,
- 11:48very clear story behind this. So how could we make
- 11:52this better? We could talk about the cultural relevance of
- 11:56using wax on the wine bottle, how it increases flavor,
- 12:00how they came up with the idea, how many sales
- 12:04they've gotten from doing this dipping process versus their other
- 12:08other bottles those kind of things will create a story
- 12:13and will convert a lot better even though they've got
- 12:1590 million views i'd probably rather 10 million views and
- 12:19there'd be some education around the story behind the product
- 12:22than just a huge amount of views so next the
- 12:26recent tick tock buyout we've got drumstick walking in saying
- 12:30okay fine i'll buy tick tock so it doesn't get
- 12:32banned This is just humor and more importantly, trend relevance.
- 12:38So they're capturing something that's happening in the news that week.
- 12:41There's tons of people that have mascots. We've got one included.
- 12:45We didn't make a video like this. We didn't tell
- 12:47this story because we weren't on top of the trend,
- 12:50missed the opportunity, but it worked really well. 15 million
- 12:53views for them. Next, we've got a bit of a
- 12:55weird one. 13 years as a coochie doctor, yet no
- 12:59one believes me when I tell them this. So, when
- 13:02you see it, it's going to blow your mind. This
- 13:09is AI, okay? The model probably wasn't the model. They've
- 13:13just grabbed a doctor that looks similar to her. This
- 13:16person speaking is AI. It's all over. I know what
- 13:20you're thinking. But this is probably some kid in his
- 13:24basement working with like 100 cheap editors at $ 5 an hour,
- 13:29putting this into Chachi PD, saying, write me a story
- 13:32about a coochie doctor, give me lots of tips around
- 13:35this space, and then make sure you include the sales
- 13:38for a product, which at the end of this video,
- 13:41she mentions the best solution, which is a product. But
- 13:44this is the point of what I'm trying to make here,
- 13:46is that these AI-based videos at the moment, the ones
- 13:51that are getting 360,000 likes and 5 million views, they're
- 13:56telling stories because they're the best way at capturing attention.
- 13:59So these people are testing hundreds, thousands of pieces of creative,
- 14:03and these are the ones that you're going to see.
- 14:07If you went and you looked at those videos and
- 14:09you're like, I'm going to tell this exact same story.
- 14:11I'm going to get similar visuals and I'm going to
- 14:13post on TikTok and I'm going to win. I'm going
- 14:15to get the same amount of views. You're wrong. If
- 14:16you tell that exact same story, it's going to go
- 14:19to the exact same audience that is already served. This
- 14:22is basic economic supply and demand. When I was talking
- 14:26to one of my friends the other day and they
- 14:27wanted to start a cooking channel on TikTok and I
- 14:30was like, here's some cool viral ideas. It's a great idea.
- 14:33And yeah, She was like, no, they're all cringe, those ideas.
- 14:37I don't want to be cringe. This is a fundamental
- 14:39problem because people think that new equals cringe. Whereas new,
- 14:44you're finding new pockets, new audiences that are underserved. This
- 14:48is similar with paid ads. If you're selling, let's say,
- 14:51an ice bath and you're making it around muscle recovery
- 14:56and you're trying to run these paid ads and tell
- 14:59these stories about that. And then you instantly create a
- 15:02new ad about, let's say, something completely new. that maybe
- 15:07ice baths are toxic if they're not cleaned. And there
- 15:09is no content about that. Facebook finally has a place
- 15:12to put that ad because nobody else is running it.
- 15:16So we want to be creative. But I know what
- 15:18you're thinking. You promised me I'm not a creative person.
- 15:21How do I come up with these stories? How do
- 15:23I find my viral story? I want you to ask
- 15:25yourself these questions. What is something everyone thinks is true
- 15:31about your product but isn't? That's really important. And then
- 15:35we're going to tell it as a story. One of
- 15:37the best examples, like Udi being too expensive. If I
- 15:42went and said, we use GSM fabric of this, this,
- 15:46and this is why it's expensive. It costs us this.
- 15:48People are going to go, boring. If I go, I
- 15:52flew to China or I flew to where my factory
- 15:55is to discover the best, softest fabric for the Udi.
- 16:01And this is why it's expensive and tell that story
- 16:04and document that. That's going to go viral. That's going
- 16:06to be in people's head because it's now justified. So
- 16:10the other one is like the hoodie not being long enough,
- 16:12which was a big complaint. That onesie video touches on that.
- 16:16That's something that everyone thinks is true about our product,
- 16:19but it isn't because we have the alternative product. So
- 16:24what's the most heartfelt or inspiring customer success story you've
- 16:28ever heard? Grab your iPhone, tell the story of that
- 16:32customer and and post it and I can guarantee you
- 16:36people will listen. Another thing focusing on controversy, what's something
- 16:40about your product or service that will frustrate people or
- 16:43have frustrated people and what's the story behind that? What's
- 16:46the story that proves your product service is different from
- 16:50the competitors? This is different from going, my features are this,
- 16:54my thickness is this, blah, blah, blah. We wanna tell
- 16:56it as a story. that proves it. What's the strangest
- 16:59and shocking visual you can think about your product and service?
- 17:03This is that visual shock that I want you to
- 17:05think about. We can also pair visual shocks with other
- 17:08trending things at the moment. What's the story in the
- 17:10news that's happened in the past three days in your space?
- 17:14Keep your eye on the news because you as an
- 17:16authority of the topic can tell the story about your
- 17:19experience with that news and post it. Then we've got
- 17:23step three. This is for the creative illiterates. So we've
- 17:27got frame swiping. Now this is a great quote. If
- 17:29I've seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders
- 17:32of giants, Isaac Newton. There's no problem stealing content, providing
- 17:36that we do it ethically and really importantly, getting around
- 17:40the supply and demand element of it. We can't just
- 17:43copy directly because again, that audience is served. So what
- 17:46we're going to do is we're going to watch a
- 17:48small bit of content here, and then I'm going to
- 17:50show you how to frame swipe. And then we're going
- 17:52to break down the beginning, middle and end.
- 17:54Speaker 2: This girl called our product a rip-off.
- 17:57Speaker 1: I literally see no difference. So HiSmile, really big brand.
- 18:01So this is the table we're going to start filling out.
- 18:04On the left, we've got beginning, middle and end. That's
- 18:06obvious what that is. The start of the video to
- 18:08the end of the video. Then we've got location and visuals.
- 18:11Where are they? Pacing. How quickly are the cuts? Audio
- 18:16and script. What is basically said? Text. Like what visual
- 18:20text can you see on it? Is it captions? Is
- 18:22it the Instagram text? We've got lighting, viewers feeling. I
- 18:26added lighting there because I think a lot of people
- 18:28get that wrong and it is actually quite important to
- 18:30change the tone of the video. Viewers feeling. What are
- 18:33they feeling? Anxious? Those kind of things. Touch on that.
- 18:37And then just any other notes for you guys to
- 18:39copy in. So let's look at this. What video we
- 18:43just watched. We're going to watch it again. Don't worry.
- 18:45We've got the warehouse location visuals. Pacing is just normal.
- 18:49There's nothing crazy. It's not fast cuts. The audio and script.
- 18:52Get these keywords. We're going to talk about language in
- 18:54a second, but it's like they called our product a ripoff. Disgusting,
- 18:58the influencer says straight after it. Then we've got captions.
- 19:02They're in a warehouse and the viewer's feeling is curious.
- 19:06They're wondering if high smile is a ripoff, which may
- 19:10be an already existing belief that that person has. And
- 19:14then we've added the influencer video first three seconds as
- 19:17like a cut. And you'll watch all of this now
- 19:19and see it.
- 19:20Speaker 2: This girl called our product a rip-off.
- 19:22Speaker 1: I literally see no difference and this thing is disgusting. Now,
- 19:27before you judge, I can explain why it didn't work.
- 19:29But this is not our packaging. She clearly tried a
- 19:32fake from Timu or Amazon. Like this and this. So,
- 19:38let's cover the middle of the video. It's now changed drastically,
- 19:41hasn't it? This is a paid ad for them. I
- 19:43think it was organic as well. It was crushing it.
- 19:46They've got the warehouse again and it's gone to a
- 19:49point of view. Did you notice the camera change? Because
- 19:51now it's a GoPro on them. Then we've got fast pacing.
- 19:55It's starting to move quicker. It's cutting. We've got, this
- 19:58is a fake. Timo slash Sheen. Those trigger words. Captions again, warehouse.
- 20:03It's a misdirect. So suddenly the viewer's feeling is like,
- 20:07what just happened? They're fearful that they're going to buy
- 20:10a fake as well. There's a lot of emotion in
- 20:13those frames. And then we're showing the competitor's product. So
- 20:16when the buyer sees the competitor on Timu, they're like, ooh,
- 20:20be aware. So we'll watch the end of the video
- 20:22now just to round this one off. And we got
- 20:25this new video back today. So the influencer is now
- 20:29trying the actual high smile. Oh my God. Now we
- 20:36apologize for anyone who's made this mistake.
- 20:39Speaker 2: So we'll throw in one of our famous flavored toothpaste.
- 20:41Speaker 1: Coming through with an offer. You could even pick the flavor,
- 20:44but if you're struggling, Ice Pop is a crowd favorite.
- 20:48And telling the favorite product. So just to round this
- 20:50one off, all the same places, throw in, and then
- 20:53a darker purple as a trigger word. So this is
- 20:57a Shark Tank investment. The 16 year old girls. It's
- 21:04had over 10 million views. So, this video let's break
- 21:08it down the beginning throwing the problem product away fast
- 21:12carts i've got the song there the trending sounds are
- 21:15really important to know as well they're true the viewer
- 21:19is just curious about the idea uh because they're so
- 21:23young pretty much so we're really highlighting that they're designing
- 21:25something there is no ending to that video well it's
- 21:29me saying that it's one of the best clothing products
- 21:31that i've felt on shark tank and i think that
- 21:35this is maybe somewhere that they could have improved that video.
- 21:38So we could have more of a journey and finish
- 21:40it off. It could be longer so that we're more
- 21:43likely for the person to remember. Now, one thing that
- 21:45you're probably thinking going through this, and when you scroll
- 21:48through TikTok tonight, you're going to be like, there are
- 21:52so many videos that have more views than the story-based ones.
- 21:59And I'll challenge you to do this. Go through those
- 22:02videos and then Try to remember as many as you can.
- 22:06The next day, I guarantee you, you will remember the
- 22:10story-based ones because brain rot does not make sales. It
- 22:14is not remembered. All of those random videos will just
- 22:18go in one ear, out the other. So the next
- 22:21skill we need to learn is just mastering your storytelling overall.
- 22:24There's a bunch of tech dinks that I'm going to
- 22:26go through with some example ads that have really helped me.
- 22:29People ask me, what's the secret? How do you have
- 22:32so many Shopify plaques? And the answer is very, very simple.
- 22:37Fire your agency. They are scamming you. So this video,
- 22:41I said, people ask me, what's the secret? How do
- 22:45I have so many Shopify plaques? They are two open loops.
- 22:50The first open loop, which is basically a statement that
- 22:55creates curiosity about what's going to come next, is what's
- 22:59the secret? And the second one is how do I
- 23:01have so many Shopify plaques? They're both, I guess, kind
- 23:04of blended. And there's a concept called the Zeigarnik effect.
- 23:08I think I said that right. Which the scientists noticed
- 23:12that waitresses could remember everything about a person's bill until
- 23:18they closed and paid the bill. Then it would just
- 23:21disappear out of their memory. Because humans are trained to
- 23:26remember things that aren't complete yet. This is why Netflix,
- 23:29the end of the show on Netflix, will give you
- 23:31this random... cliffhanger, we like to call them. And this
- 23:36is why when you're creating content and telling stories, never
- 23:41open with a hook, open with an open loop, and
- 23:44then instantly the next sentence, close the loop because their
- 23:48curiosity will be solved and they will turn off. We
- 23:51need to create the open loop so that we can
- 23:54educate them further. So the next thing we can do
- 23:57to enhance our storytelling is use powerful language. Too many
- 24:00people in this room are too scared at using powerful
- 24:04language because they're too scared to upset people. Let's take
- 24:07some of these examples. So let's say we're mentoring someone
- 24:10or we're creating some business content and we're like, the
- 24:13Udi does this, let's learn from them. Rather that, let's say,
- 24:17let's steal the Udi's content technique. That hook there is
- 24:22going to be so much more powerful than the other one.
- 24:25I'm going to take the ice bath example again. Let's
- 24:27say this is the problem with selling an ice bath
- 24:31that does this. This is a national ice bath crisis.
- 24:37Powerful language completely changes how the content is received and
- 24:42is prioritized in the algorithm. So if you're struggling with this,
- 24:46write out the script or get the video that you've
- 24:48already created, put it into ChatGPT and say, make this
- 24:51extremely exaggerated, make the language extremely powerful and see what
- 24:56alternatives they give you. Now, remember, It's a game of milliseconds,
- 25:00not seconds. Everyone has that friend that tells a story
- 25:04and it takes forever. If that story takes just a
- 25:08little bit too long, if there's a clip that just
- 25:10is a little bit too long at the end, let's
- 25:13say you're telling a story and there's a bit of
- 25:15a pause after you tell the story before it goes
- 25:18to the next frame, you're going to lose people. It's
- 25:21a game of milliseconds. So make the cuts quick. That's
- 25:23why in the frame swiping, I'm teaching you how to
- 25:25Look at pacing. Now, one final thing about frame swiping
- 25:29is you'll notice we're using High Smiles Ad here. It
- 25:32doesn't need to be in the same niche as you
- 25:35to do frame swiping. We're grabbing the format. We're not
- 25:38grabbing it directly from competitors because this is a great
- 25:43way of you finally serving the audience for your product
- 25:47in a new format that they're maybe not experiencing. Now
- 25:50we've become masters of storytelling. Now we're going to scale
- 25:53this like crazy so we can print tons of money.
- 25:56The first thing we need to do is remove the
- 25:58founder constraint. A tale as old as time is the
- 26:01founder creates an invention, they film themselves, they get a
- 26:05couple of sales posting about it, goes a little bit viral.
- 26:08Then they do it again and again and again. And
- 26:11they are limited, their sales are limited to how many
- 26:14times that they can post on social media. Operations gets
- 26:18complex for them, life gets in the way, they stop
- 26:20posting as much. They call me, they go, why are
- 26:22my sales dropping? And I'm like, you're posting one times
- 26:25a day. Business gets tougher over time under the same
- 26:28conditions because competitors enter the space. You're doing the exact
- 26:31same outputs that created the sales in a tougher condition.
- 26:35Of course, your sales are going down. So remove yourself
- 26:38as a founder constraint so that you can post more
- 26:42because you don't want to be posting once. You can
- 26:44post three times a day, 10 times a day. Some
- 26:46of my friends post hundreds of times a day. How
- 26:48do we do this with confidence? We start with the data.
- 26:51So if you're early on in your journey, which a
- 26:54lot of people here are today, You'll look at sales
- 26:56spikes with a viral piece of content. You can look
- 26:59at week on week sales when you've got a couple
- 27:01of viral videos. Let's say you post seven videos in
- 27:05a row during that week that go quite well. You
- 27:08look at your impressions. How did that week of sales go? Also,
- 27:12probably you can even look at month on month. I'm
- 27:14going to do a consistent month of posting versus last month.
- 27:17Is that worth my time? Discount codes early on, you
- 27:20can mention your discount codes and that will be black
- 27:23and white. More importantly, just run the content as Facebook ads.
- 27:26The stuff we've covered today will be applicable for organic content,
- 27:30but it will also work as Facebook ads. And the
- 27:32final thing is find scalable formats. If it's a founder
- 27:36story video that you end up frame swiping, posting, getting
- 27:41good results on, that's not really a scalable format. It's
- 27:44kind of difficult for me to just keep telling my
- 27:47founder story On my main page, people are just going
- 27:49to start tuning out. This is why podcasts, street interviews,
- 27:54some of those people are the biggest creators because they
- 27:58just do the same piece of content on repeat. People
- 28:01consume it. Compare this to something like a travel video
- 28:04or a cooking video. You're extremely limited because you need
- 28:07to make the food and you can't get 15 reels
- 28:10in one day. So how do we remove the founder
- 28:13constraint and get a team posting a ton? We've got
- 28:17three options here. We've got an influencer that we can
- 28:20go and hire, find someone that's gotten a few views. Linda,
- 28:23the Udi girl that works as our social media manager,
- 28:27she started in customer service. She had a 10,000 follower
- 28:30TikTok or something like that. And She joined and started
- 28:34making videos. Now we've got half a million followers. You
- 28:37can also look at a videographer and you can also
- 28:40look at a social media manager. You could do a
- 28:42traditional post on LinkedIn, boost it or go and try
- 28:45to poach those roles and find someone that has what
- 28:49it takes. But I warn you, a lot of these
- 28:51people are too corporate, they're too stagnant and they have
- 28:54never gotten views. The ultimate hiring hack in this place
- 28:57is find someone that has done exactly what you need
- 28:59to do Hire them, pay them to do it for yourself.
- 29:03And then keep your Google Drive organized. Every single clip,
- 29:07ask your mom, ask your grandparents, everyone to upload as
- 29:11much footage as possible from your journeys. Doesn't matter if
- 29:15it's this business, doesn't matter if it's the old business,
- 29:17get your employees to send every video that they have.
- 29:21Put it into this Google Drive so that you have
- 29:24massive archives of footage because you're going to need it
- 29:26at scale. The other thing we need to learn is
- 29:28life extenders. So let's say there's a viral video that
- 29:31I had about telling my story. We can change the
- 29:33format as I've already talked about. We could use an
- 29:36AI voiceover format. We could just change out the hook.
- 29:40in a month if we wanted to. And we can
- 29:42just post the same viral story at least four times each.
- 29:46So if you've already got viral content, go edit that
- 29:49and add some life extension. Another question I often ask
- 29:53is like, why do we stop at just posting on
- 29:55one account? We could have multiple. There'll be multiple different
- 29:58followers on that. Let's say with Udi, we've got an
- 30:01Udi creator account or a fan page, like an ultimate
- 30:04fan page. Plus we've got the Udi account. Once we
- 30:07find a viral format, we can post different variations to each.
- 30:10Make sure there's slightly different content. Stay with it for
- 30:14a long period of time. And eventually both of those
- 30:16pages will be hitting virals. And we can definitely use
- 30:20overseas editors. You can even pay them via CPM if
- 30:24you want. Give them the Google Drive. Give them example content.
- 30:28Or better yet, just let them run wild with it.
- 30:31Pay them incentive structures if they hit massive viral videos
- 30:34that translate to sales. Pay them really good money and
- 30:37you should absolutely crush it. So next steps, go ask
- 30:40yourself the questions that we covered. Go do some frame swiping.
- 30:44Post at least 10 stories before you at me. And yeah,
- 30:50go print some money.
