Lead Magnet roast
It's a lead magnet - delivered by skool. so i get their email and free membership when they hit my about page. the lead magnet is the AVATAR CHOOSER tool. its a pdf, short video and class. ideally, i get their email. then this gets them into my ecosystem of building their biz. The invite is to call me to work over their results which is an opportunity to upsell maybe, but 100% to over deliver on value. if they stop and don't' upsell, how can i make it better? if they will eventually upsell, how do i entice that strongly/well? https://www.skool.com/halcyon-land-5118/classroom/0c6893d4?md=2733abd957e34726807c0cf318138390
Hey @James Simmons sorry for the very late roast. Been very busy with the moving process. It's taking more work than I thought it would. I think it's quite clever to use an open community classroom as a way to host lead magnets you promote elsewhere. People are really sleeping on the feautres skool gives for 9 usd. Unlimited storage and unlimited native livestreams? I don't believe they will be able to keep up with this forever. @Laura Paulina does something similar I believe. Also tagging @Nick Nebelsky @Manda Jackson @Cristal Vancarson @Eric William @Gary Boyd as relevant roasters for this specific offer. I believe you could add at least a banner to make this page pop up more. Or embed the video instead of making it an external link. People talk about shortening the click ratio in order to get more engagement. So I would at least embed the video. The CTA for the next steps could also be put in the same page. On mobile people will have a harder time seeing there is another page, so I would put it at the bottom of the same one.
@James Simmons I just left the house that I was leaving on here and sold a bunch of stuff. But still got to move the remaining stuff across states, travel and prepare my appartment in the other city.
Roast my About Page...don't hold back, I can take it
I'm new to skool and this is my first attempt. I'm a big beliver in the 80/20 rule so if you think it's 80% there I would like to know that as well. https://www.skool.com/the-expert-society-5257/about
Hey Ian. Again sorry for the late roast. Tagging @Eliot Payne to check this out. He has an awesome marketing community that I make a point at participating every week in his live calls: The Marketing Common Room. Also tagging @Heather Boers and @Dr. Stephanie Murauskas for relevamt roasts. And also @Aimee Jardon for the sales part. The openning testimonial can work greatly, because it establishes your authority at the same time that explains what you do and I really like that approach. @Lion Fludd did that in video format. I also really like your image choices, they are simple and effective, not cluttered as most of the ones following the current AI banner trend. What I see lacking here is the "how". How are people achieving the things you promisse at the bullet points? Live calls, a gift 1:1 meeting with new members, recorded classroom content, regular posts that people can engage with? That's not very clear to me. And as I said here, if you don't give clear instructions on how people should engage, they hardly will.
Roast my Video ad v1
Hey guys using content I created with my new http://storycast.cloud so dusting of my old design skills there will be more versions to follow... lol
Roast my Video ad v1
Hey @Gary Boyd sorry for the late roast. I really want to test it out and hopefully I'll go full on at testing it next month, once I'm settled back to my native city. Adding to what others have said, I would add some more varied style. I only see 2, and all of them look like modern video game cutscenes. Showing the full scope of the styles you can achieve with this would make me more impressed. Also if the point is character consistency, showing more shots of the same character in different scenarios instead of several different single cuts would sell the tool better.
@Gary Boyd waiting for it!
Sell yourself to a 5 year old
This is a piching exercise, click here to check all the others you can engage in at any time. Try to explain what you do in a way that a five year old kid would understand. No jargons, no fancy words.

@Lisa Hunt that's a very creative way of putting app creation. It can be a powerful media for creativity
@Nick Nebelsky that's for a 1 year old. My 2 year old daughter is speaking almost everything already and understanding everything.
Roast my Intro
Most groups ask you to introduce yourself from the start. What about this for an intro: G'day, I'm Ian from Melbourne, Australia After busting my butt in marketing and strategy for 40 years (20 in corporate and 20 with my own businesses) I'm officially over the 2 minute gurus peddling AI slop and over hyped results dressed up as the latest bright shinny object (that's right, another app, another monthly subscription) that will solve all your marketing and sales problems. This is why I've just started "The Experts Society", a home where real experts can hang out and get on with business and life, the way it's meant to be. My Superpower is designing and building effective and scalable Customer Journey processes that deliver profitable revenue. I've created my skool community with a freebie 10-day Customer Journey audit. Outside of work I'm currently working on writing a biography on my 4 x Great Grandfather who was a leader of the Irish Rebellion of the 1790's and one of the first political prisoners transported to Australia in 1799.
Hey Ian, sorry for the late roast, as you may know I'm in the process of moving out and it's taking more work than I antecipated. Made a post about that the other day: https://www.skool.com/roast-promote-5332/why-you-sell-your-offer-through-you-as-a-person Tagging @Aimee Jardon our sales expert here to look into it. As well as @Chris K. Davidson who is great at this kind of introductions. I'll roast the final version you made after @Dave Hughes made the sugestions as I think it's the better one too. I would break the line at the paragraph "This is why I've just started" as you kinda start a CTA here and people are less inclined to read long blocks of texts. Putting that aside I really like how you wrote this. Where are you putting this text?
