My first ever livestream is today, and you're invited! AGENDA: - My latest thoughts around audience growth, and content systems - The impact of AI on Content Creation - The crazy tactic Iman Gadzhi used to blow up - The Synthesizer Movement - My work with James Jani, Sam Ovens, and Naval Ravikant - We'll share content we've found that's valuable. I can even read/react to some - My 13 step plan to go from $0 β $10,000/month - Answer any questions I see in the livestream chat - Do some 'hotseat'. Where a viewer volunteers to get unmuted, states their Goal, and their biggest Problem and I try to help them solve their problem (with the Chat's help). Similar to Ask Gary Vee or Dave Ramsey - Play one game of chess against a viewer (to prep for tomorrow's Chess tournament). Similar to Eric Rosen. LINK TO JOIN CHESS TOURNAMENT: https://lichess.org/tournament/YOdarBpa STARTS AT 1PM EST 4th DEC Please RSVP with a gif if you're planning on coming. And if you have any other ideas for the livestream, let me know. Should be fun :)
Most of my 600,000 subscribers on YouTube came from my videos about Stoicism, Productivity, Personal-Development, and Dopamine Detoxing. These people are young men with a dream. They want money, status, a good body, and female validation. They watch Hamza, Andrew Tate, and now Iman Gadzhi. They are addicted to instant gratification, but have started fighting back. They've started going to the gym. They've started meditating, but can't seem to keep the habit. As much as I love talking about those topics, I found myself more in love with the art of Synthesizing how to play the Great Online Game. That's when where the Synthesizer community comes in. These people are actively trying to create a lucrative career playing the Great Online Game. They want to find something they love to do that pays them well. They want to help people similar to them solve problems they've suffered with. They like Naval Ravikant, and Alex Hormozi. They are a very different group of people compared to my audience on YouTube. So here's the question... - Should I create for my old audience, or my new audience? If I create for my YouTube audience, I'm talking about topics I'm less passionate about. If I create for my Synthesizer audience, I'm talking about topics I'm more interested in, BUT I'm sacrificing a lot of work I put in earlier.
@Andrew Kirby β£For me yes, because ultimately your business model is based on getting people into the synthesiser community. Secondly, because you're passionate about the topic you're going to be authentic, which is the most important thing when cultivating a die hard audience. Finally, I used to be one of the people who primarily watched Hamza, I think we already have enough people covering the beginning of self improvement, I came to people like you and Alex Hormozi for the next step in my journey, which is ultimately much more valuable and rare.
Why do some people succeed faster than others? Why does it take somebody 10 years to achieve a bit of what we see people like Iman Gadzhi and Alex Hormozi achieve in their early 20s and 30s? Of course you have to be patient with results, but also urgent with actions and try to get it not fast but FASTER. Assuming both groups work hard, what do you think is the determiner of making such breakthroughs?
Obviously some people are more incentivised than others, Iman and Alex have probably had a more potent emotional reason for pursuing wealth, like how Iman wanted to support his mother. In those cases, it gives them the drive to take massive action because they bet it all on themselves. Secondly, pure ignorance, if you don't know what you need to know to create a successful business, then you're going to go nowhere. So there's a decent amount of luck that they both got into business at an opportune time where the market was fresh and they had ample time to learn enough to get ahead of everyone else. Finally they fucked up as fast as they could to learn as much as they could in order to have the right skills and mindset to achieve.
For those who don't know me, recently I've been taking a course on Digital Marketing (Digital Marketing Blueprint by Seth Hymes) in order to start my own SMMA. It's currently 8pm here in the UK and I'm writing this post as accountability, even though I don't know if I can fully provide a great service, I'll do my best. Wish me luck lol.
@Rex Loyer I only managed to do 5, I got slightly demoralised after I realised I have no idea on how to get past the gatekeeper, but ultimately I think this was a win because I now feel that this is something I could actually do, and it's something I can most definitely improve on.
1. Conviction is king. What I mean by this is that your tonality and inflection is probably the most important thing when it comes to Cold Calling, don't get me wrong, this is a skill you can train. However, it is so much easier to trick yourself into the right tone when you BELIEVE IN THE PRODUCT. So get your product right first. 2. Be transparent and honest about why you're calling. Start a call of with "Hey this is a sales call, if you want to hang up that's fine or you can give me 30 seconds and then you can decide." Not only does this completely disarm most suspicion from a prospect, it also frames the conversation to have only two outcomes, either they hang up (which means they're not intrested anyway) or they listen to what you have to say. It even recognises the value of the prospects time, making this one of the best openers out there. 3. Next you want to give the reason you're calling, such as "I'm calling today because I believe I can help you with your Google Ad Campaigns" 4. There was a study done, I'm unsure of the specifics, that shows that just using "because" when cutting in line made around 80% of people receptive you cutting in line even when the reason doesn't matter at all. So use "because", don't make the prospect anxious on wtf you want, let it out immediately and your prospect will be happy for it. 5. Finally your mindset shouldn't be one of "I have to book a meeting." Bringing it back to the idea of conviction, all you're trying to do as Salesperson is to help your prospect, to help them understand their options and whether or not your product or service will truly help them. (And if the product is great, it most likely will) You're simply helping them to make a decision, that'll all you need to do. That's all I got for today, apologies if there's spelling mistakes or formatting errors, it's really shit typing a post of mobile.
