:Let's jump in to today's episode.
21
:Hello and welcome to this week's
episode of light-hearted marketing.
22
:Now if you listen.
23
:Every week, you might know this week
should be an interview with a guest.
24
:However, the logistics of summer holidays.
25
:I've had to rearrange a few
interviews and it just didn't happen.
26
:I just couldn't get an interview
recorded in time for this week's episode.
27
:So full disclosure.
28
:I am recording this on a very,
very hot Saturday afternoon.
29
:However it is an episode that I have been
really, really looking forward to record.
30
:It was going to go out next week anyway.
31
:So you've got me two weeks in a row.
32
:You're lucky things.
33
:So, what I'm talking about this week
is should you add a low ticket results?
34
:So your passive surveys, online,
digital products, that sort of thing.
35
:To your business model, your product
suite, you know, you're offering.
36
:Does it help your business?
37
:How do you sell it?
38
:What's the best way of doing it?
39
:Or should you really just focus
your time on your high ticket offer?
40
:Because you know, let's face it.
41
:How many people would you need
to buy an 11 pound product?
42
:To make up for one person
buying your:
43
:Service.
44
:So what I'm going to do is talk to you
today about so many different things that
45
:come up with clients in my masterminds,
I'm in, with coaches, I've worked with.
46
:I've seen it across so many different
businesses work in different ways.
47
:But there are some really core
things you need to think about.
48
:And ways that you can make it work
incredibly well for you and times when you
49
:might not want to put your focus on this.
50
:So that's what I'm going to
be talking about this week.
51
:You might have heard me say this before,
when I went to a trauma con back in
52
:June, which is a marketing conference.
53
:Rob and Kennedy who are email
marketing specialists.
54
:They did one of the keynote talks.
55
:And they said that they, in their
experience and their research and
56
:they do a huge amount of tracking.
57
:They've got very big Les, they work with
a lot of different types of businesses.
58
:They've said if someone joins your
email list and hasn't bought from
59
:you in 60 days, the likelihood they
will buy, it goes down to under 5%.
60
:Now it really, really stuck with me.
61
:And I have listened about
this on my Instagram as well.
62
:And I've had some really interesting
conversations with people about it
63
:because often actually people find that
really, really challenging And people
64
:tell me all the time, like, no, no.
65
:It takes me much longer.
66
:Someone bought from me the other
day and they've been on my list for
67
:over two years and my clients take
a lot longer to think about it.
68
:However, I would encourage you
to track it because it is really
69
:interesting and yes, you'll get
those outliers, you know, that's the
70
:5% that do still buy after 60 days.
71
:But also it would be really interesting.
72
:To see how long does it take people to buy
from you once they join your email list?
73
:And it absolutely might not
be true for you at the moment.
74
:However, there is definitely an energy
shift when someone becomes a client.
75
:So the question I'd also put to you is
could you reduce that amount of time down?
76
:You know, how can you get someone
to become a client quicker?
77
:And I'm not just talking about
your core product here either.
78
:I'm not talking about how can I get
someone to you know, buy my high ticket
79
:six grand coaching within three days.
80
:I'm talking about, and this is
where the low-cost offer comes in.
81
:You know, do you add a
low-cost offer him now?
82
:What I also wanted to say is.
83
:Robin Kennedy.
84
:They specialize in memberships.
85
:Now, obviously, now their
membership is $197 a month.
86
:So it's not super low ticket.
87
:But it's also not really high ticket.
88
:You know, it's not like signing up for
a six month commitment in a, which is
89
:a thousand pounds a month and those
programs think absolutely can take longer.
90
:And I know some of my clients who have
more like a sort of nine month conversion
91
:rate to their high ticket programs.
92
:So I think the key debate really,
and this is what I talk about with my
93
:clients and, and my peers and my coaches.
94
:Should you focus your time and energy
on offering a low ticket passive
95
:surveys, weasels online product to
convert people on your list from
96
:subscribers to buyers quicker and
grow the relationship from there.
97
:Or should you just focus your time
and energy on your high ticket offer?
98
:Be super clear about what you offer
and then put all your energy and
99
:time and marketing into that one.
100
:Service now, now obviously
there's no one right.
101
:Answer either way.
102
:And I'm certainly not saying that
everybody needs to go and get a
103
:low ticket offer or that nobody
should sell a low ticket offer.
104
:But I do believe that the first 60
days, all key, when someone joins your
105
:email list, now I've talked in previous
episodes about what you can do to
106
:nurture people as quickly as possible
when someone joins your email list and.
107
:And that's very much related
to strategically sharing
108
:your social media content.
109
:But in this episode, I want to
talk a lot more about this idea
110
:of converting subscribers to
clients using a low ticket offer.
111
:Now, when I'm talking about low
ticket offer, what I'm talking about
112
:is probably something that costs.
113
:I would say under about
30 pounds normally.
114
:I've seen some of the 27 pound ones
work quite well, but generally speaking,
115
:when I work with clients is anything
from like seven pounds, 11 pounds.
116
:Maybe 17 pounds.
117
:That's the kind of low ticket
that I'm talking about.
118
:It needs to be a price where it
feels like a bit of a no-brainer.
119
:It doesn't feel like a huge commitment.
120
:But it does mean they take
a step into your world.
121
:Now.
122
:Type of product could be anything.
123
:Really.
124
:Sometimes it's almost
like a paid lead magnet.
125
:Like it could be a list of 200
prompts or something I've seen
126
:quite a lot in I've actually bought.
127
:Low ticket, like chat,
GPT prompt that you can use.
128
:Another thing that I've
seen is small courses.
129
:So something with a very, very specific
outcome that, you know, you're 17 pound
130
:calls and you get your five videos in
a workbook and that sort of things.
131
:But the essence of it
is that it's passive.
132
:So once they bought it, they get an email
and it gets delivered and that's it.
133
:Very very rarely do the low ticket
things that I am working with clients
134
:on, have any kind of input from them.
135
:Because they're obviously so cheap.
136
:So in the context of turning subscribers
into clients as quickly as possible.
137
:The question is often asked is do they
attract the right people and how do
138
:you set it up so that it doesn't take
time and energy and resources away from
139
:you selling your high ticket offer?
140
:So there are three approaches
to selling a low-tech offer.
141
:I'm going to talk about today.
142
:I'm going to talk about
selling it organically.
143
:A self-liquidating offer funnel, which
I know sounds incredibly jargony, and
144
:I will, I will talk you through that
one and then using the low-ticket offer
145
:as part of an email lead gen funnel.
146
:So.
147
:Let's start with organic and buy organic.
148
:What I'm talking about is
your social media followers.
149
:Your email list and anything else really,
that you have to podcast YouTube channel
150
:any other kind of community that you have
organically, basically not using ads.
151
:So using your organic audience
is a great way to test an offer.
152
:It's also a great way
to test the sales page.
153
:However, what you've got to bear in mind
is that he needed a critical mass of
154
:people really going on the sales page and
going through the offer to really test it.
155
:Now, if you get enough people to buy it
from you organically And get feedback
156
:that can be incredibly helpful because
you can understand what's working.
157
:What's not, you can make tweaks to the
sales page however, there's two things
158
:I'd really encourage you to bear in mind.
159
:The first thing is what I tend
to call the warm audience bias.
160
:Now what that is.
161
:Is that you have probably got, let's say
your social media or your email list.
162
:Maybe you have been growing
that for quite a few years.
163
:They know you, they know
exactly what you offer.
164
:Maybe they've been looking
at your services for a while.
165
:Some of them will be people
who've worked with you.
166
:Now, if you put something new out,
they'll probably be a segment of
167
:people that will buy from you.
168
:No matter what you put out
there, they'll be interested.
169
:They'll support you, especially
if it's really low ticket.
170
:The trouble is, is that it feels
like it validates your sales
171
:page and your and your offer.
172
:But the reality is you're not going to
be selling this to people who are in
173
:your warm audience that already know you.
174
:The reality is you want to sell it to
people who have just come into your world.
175
:I, you know, they've been on
your less, less than 60 days.
176
:So yes, it's great to use organic
audience to sell your low ticket
177
:offer and to get feedback on your
sales page and your offer itself.
178
:And, you know, and it
can be really helpful.
179
:However, just be aware that it could
give you The false indication of how
180
:good your sales page and the offer is.
181
:Or maybe even just that the messaging
around it on the sales page.
182
:What I often find is people get very used
to talking to their warm audience and they
183
:kind of forget the skill of talking to
your cold audience and making it really
184
:clear what you do and who you help to
people who've never heard from you before.
185
:I'm going to talk a little bit more
about that later on, but that's just
186
:the thing to keep in mind organically.
187
:The likelihood is if you're
not using ads once, you've
188
:promoted your low ticket offer.
189
:Yes, you can promote your ongoing
to email list onto your social
190
:media, but the reality is a,
it's not going to sell itself.
191
:Like you're going to have to
keep talking about it over and
192
:over and over and over again.
193
:And if you're not routinely bringing
lots of people into your world you know,
194
:consistently growing the email list,
growing your social media, there's not
195
:going to be new people to sell it to.
196
:So, if you are growing quite slowly
on social media and your email list,
197
:you know, you can talk about it too.
198
:You're blue in the face, but if you
saturate your audience and everyone on
199
:your list has bought it, who wants it?
200
:You're going to really struggle them.
201
:So that's what I would
say about organically.
202
:It's a great place to start.
203
:It's a great place to test, but
just keep in mind those things.
204
:The next step really is using
ads then to sell that offer.
205
:That's how you get out to people who
haven't heard of you before consistently
206
:over time without you having to
spend a lot of time and energy away
207
:from selling your high ticket offer.
208
:Now the two ways I'm going to
talk about doing this today
209
:is the self-liquidating offer.
210
:And then using it as part
of an email lead gen file.
211
:There's lots of other ways
you could use it as well.
212
:There are a huge amount
of ways to you use ads.
213
:There was lots of, lots of different
variations and strategies that people
214
:use, but these are the two that I tend
to talk to my clients about the most.
215
:Okay.
216
:So the self liquidating offer.
217
:Or SLO, which you might
see sometimes referenced.
218
:Now it sounds really appealing.
219
:Okay.
220
:The concept is that you set up ads with
the aim of selling your low-ticket offers.
221
:So that's the core aim of sales based ads.
222
:People buy up.
223
:And because it's a no brainer
price and off the back of that,
224
:you then grow your email list.
225
:Which is all clients, because
they've all bought from you.
226
:Now some people I know have grown
their entire business on this way.
227
:They only have paid lead
magnets to get onto their list.
228
:They don't offer a
free, you know, freebie.
229
:A lead magnet, as we would kind of know.
230
:To get onto their list, you
have to pay to be on their list.
231
:For most of the clients I work
with, they'd be looking to offer
232
:a free lead magnet as well.
233
:So you obviously could use the SLA funnel
alongside a free lead magnet as well.
234
:And then with the SLA funnel, you
offset the cost of your ads as well.
235
:So you set up these ads and
people then buy the product.
236
:You obviously then get the money from
that product against the ad spend
237
:that you're spending often what you'll
find as well, that you'll, they'll
238
:go through multiple sales pages.
239
:And so they'll buy the first thing.
240
:They then get like a timer.
241
:Where you can then buy a second
thing and maybe it's like a.
242
:It's called a bump up.
243
:Maybe you started with a seven
pound product, then you give them
244
:something for 11 pounds and then
finally you might sell them something
245
:for like 97 pounds or something.
246
:And all of that money then goes towards
your ad costs and you can scale your ads.
247
:Or have an additional revenue stream.
248
:And that all grows your email list and
gets those people going from subscribers
249
:to clients immediately because they
have to buy to come and be on the list.
250
:And this absolutely can work.
251
:However, it's not nearly as simple
as it sounds to get it running well.
252
:And the mistake I see is that.
253
:Often people come to me and say
like, right, I want to start
254
:using ads to grow my email list.
255
:I've heard about this.
256
:Great.
257
:In a way where you can sell something
and then offset the cost of the ads.
258
:It sounds brilliant.
259
:Does a bit.
260
:But I'm going to reiterate
what I say to them.
261
:What I've said on this podcast before
that is not the way to start running
262
:your ads, especially if you were thinking
of creating an offer for the ads.
263
:Okay.
264
:So to run a pure SLA funnels, What I
talked about before you would need to
265
:have a really robustly tested offer.
266
:You will need to know that your
sales page converted incredibly well.
267
:You'd also want to have a lot of
data on your ad accounts so that
268
:Facebook knows who to target.
269
:And an understanding of what
ad copy and creative that
270
:your audience respond well to.
271
:So to get a high converting sales
page, you really need to be really,
272
:really hot on your messaging.
273
:And . To test whether, you know,
you've got the messaging, right.
274
:And to see if the offer resonates
with your audience, you already need
275
:to have a big enough organic audience
to test and tweak and test and tweak.
276
:And even at that point, you would then
want to test with a cold audience.
277
:Cause like what I said earlier, you
know, if you only test with your warm
278
:audience, you can get a bit of a bias.
279
:You're then going to go
into testing with ads.
280
:And when you plug it into ads, if you
haven't robustly tested, or you're
281
:not sure that it's working already.
282
:You're not going to know whether
it's the sales page, it's an issue.
283
:Whether the ads are not working
with the audience isn't right.
284
:Whether the offer actually
just isn't resonating it's an
285
:incredibly expensive way of testing.
286
:And it will take you a really
long time to get all those
287
:elements working really well.
288
:Unless you have a super big ad
budget So if you don't have a big
289
:audience well-tested sales page, a
huge ad budget and you actually
290
:want to create a low ticket offer.
291
:And what I'm telling you is it's
going to be quite hard work to
292
:sell it organically over time.
293
:And an SLO funnel sounds way better than
actually is when you were starting out.
294
:But you still want to use ads to
grow your business and you want to
295
:try potentially a low-cost offer.
296
:Where do you start?
297
:So, what I do with clients is
called the 15 pound a day ad funnel.
298
:And.
299
:What we do is we have
three types of ads running.
300
:So we start with our lead ads.
301
:Okay.
302
:This is the foundation of
everything I do with my clients.
303
:And this is about growing your email list.
304
:Using ads and using a free lead magnet.
305
:Okay.
306
:So that would take up the majority
of this 15 pound a day budget.
307
:And we would spend normally
the 10 pounds a day.
308
:On those now this is a framework,
so you could scale it up.
309
:So you could be running 30
pounds a day or 45 pounds a day.
310
:However I'm just going to talk
about the 15 pounds a day.
311
:Cause it's probably the minimum you'd
be able to spend on this funnel.
312
:So 10 pounds a day on the lead
ads, you'd then be spending three
313
:pounds a day on engagement ads.
314
:Now these are ads that are
retargeting people who have
315
:downloaded the lead magnet.
316
:Okay.
317
:So they're called re-targeting ads.
318
:They only go out to people
who are in your warm audience.
319
:So people who have
downloaded the lead magnet.
320
:And often I'll include people
who follow you on social media or
321
:are already on your email list.
322
:And what we're doing is strategically
showing them content like the, maybe a
323
:link to your podcast or a testimonial
or a video that you did, you know,
324
:live video that you did that kind
of shows some really great content.
325
:So it's about strategically showing them
content that might be of interest to them,
326
:just to kind of remind you who you are.
327
:And this is very, very much in
the nurture piece of the funnel.
328
:Then what, we're also going to show
those people who have downloaded your
329
:lead magnet and have been on the
sales page for the low ticket offer.
330
:So when you do the lead ads at
the end of the, the form that
331
:you fill in, there is an option
to send them to click a button.
332
:To go to a landing page.
333
:So, send them to your low-cost
offer sales page, and you can track
334
:who goes onto it using the pixel.
335
:And then you're going to use ads to
retarget them, to try and get them
336
:to buy your low ticket offer ads.
337
:So that's also retargeting ads, but
with a sales focus, the idea though
338
:is only two pounds a day, and we are
just putting the offer back in front
339
:of people who have come into our world
in the last 60 days, anyone that's
340
:joined the list in the last 60 days.
341
:Anyone who's engaged on social media in
the last 60 days, we're offering them this
342
:low ticket offer because a, we want to
make sure that we turn them into a client.
343
:If we can.
344
:And B We want to make
sure that they see it.
345
:And we can have lots of different
ads, you know, with testimonials and
346
:explaining what it is and showing
outcome, they're going to get an all
347
:sorts and at this point, I just want
to be really clear about what the
348
:difference is with this funnel versus
a self-liquidating offer funnel.
349
:The core purpose of this funnel is to grow
your email list using a lead mark map.
350
:We then have, as I've talked about
before, in other episodes, you then
351
:have a lot of stuff in place on your
email list to nurture, to connect,
352
:to show them strategic, you know,
long form content, social media
353
:content That's all in place anyway.
354
:Okay.
355
:And that's how, you're going to grow
your business and get more clients.
356
:The engagement ads, then add this
sort of automated nurture element.
357
:Okay.
358
:So this is a, this is a case of, if
you go on my email list and everything
359
:goes to spam, we're still potentially
going to get back in front of you.
360
:Again, we're going to be able to show
you things that are really important,
361
:like the best content that we've
made, the most strategic posts that
362
:we want to put in front of people.
363
:We can do that with ads and we
don't have to worry about them.
364
:You know maybe seeing our
email clicking on the fat.
365
:To go from, follow us on Instagram
and then see the right post
366
:that we wanted them to see.
367
:We can actually put it right
in front of them using ads.
368
:So it's really a way of
like automated, nurturing.
369
:But.
370
:But in a really strategic and personalized
and connected way because you're choosing
371
:what you're going to put in front of them.
372
:And then finally the sales ads,
these ads are never going to
373
:drive like mega revenue for you.
374
:They are going to offset some of
your costs of your ads for sure.
375
:And obviously they're going to support
this aim of turning Subscribers into
376
:clients, which then changes that energy
and allows you through your welcome
377
:sequence and social media to then get
to know them and ideally convert them
378
:quicker into your high ticket services.
379
:And some people have a ladder.
380
:So everyone who has bought
the 11 pound item then might
381
:be offered the 97 pound item.
382
:They might have a few different
products that you can then layer.
383
:I guess the difference is that it's
not all done through sales pages.
384
:It's done through email.
385
:So once they have that first offer, a
nurture sequence that then goes out to
386
:see how they go home with the offer.
387
:And then the next step is almost like, if
you really enjoy this and you've got great
388
:results, this actually is part of my 97
pound offer or my hundred 97 pound offer.
389
:And you can have that middle step.
390
:You can also talk about
your high ticket offer.
391
:You know, if you enjoyed.
392
:This then, you know, this is how I
work with my high ticket clients.
393
:But it's not, it's
automated, but it's not.
394
:So pressured, I guess I think with the
issue with the SLO funnel can be that
395
:you are going from seeing an ad buying
an 11 pound thing being offered a 97
396
:pound thing, and then being offered
something else as well, all through
397
:sort of three sales pages in the space
of what could be like 10 minutes.
398
:This email funnel is much slower.
399
:It's much more about connection
and nurturing and fundamentally
400
:is about growing your email list
rather than the low ticket offer.
401
:I guess the focus of
the funnel is different.
402
:And at the beginning.
403
:I talked about, you know, when is
this a really good thing to do?
404
:And when I would actually say no, like
this isn't the right time for you.
405
:And there's probably a couple of
things, but I think coming to this
406
:conversation, The first one is that
generally I work with people who
407
:have quite an established high ticket
service, whether that's one-to-one,
408
:whether that's a group program,
monthly services that they offer.
409
:And then looking to either
add another revenue stream or
410
:convert clients more quickly.
411
:If they have the capacities, if
they're running a group program.
412
:It might be that they need to grow
their email list, but they also, they
413
:don't want to wait the nine months that
currently it's taking for them to convert
414
:people, to actually buy from them.
415
:You know, if they want to convert them
more quickly, this is the kind of funnel.
416
:That could really help with that.
417
:In my opinion, this kind of funnel or
any, and all the SLO funnel, or even
418
:doing a low ticket offer just organically.
419
:It's just not the place to start.
420
:If you are struggling to
sell your services, like
421
:your higher ticket services.
422
:It's really, really unlikely in my
experience that adding a low-cost
423
:offer is going to enable you to
sell more of your high ticket offer.
424
:Because the likelihood is your messaging.
425
:And your lead gen funnel needs work first.
426
:So really what we want to do is have
something that's selling really well.
427
:Have like a really strong
baseline of a business.
428
:And then plug in those lead ads
to, to make sure that we're kind of
429
:growing that email list all the time.
430
:Then the engagement ads come in
to make sure we're nurturing those
431
:people and getting them engaged.
432
:And then the offer comes
in right at the end.
433
:So if you were a place where you're
struggling for clients, Or you
434
:just can't seem to get people to
understand what you do or how you
435
:help them or to buy into that.
436
:A low ticket offer.
437
:Isn't the place to start with that.
438
:Your messaging and your lead gen
funnel needs to be the first priority
439
:now just talking briefly your messaging
as well is probably one of the biggest
440
:factors of a successful ads funnel.
441
:Or even to be honest, just
any kind of lead gen funnel.
442
:Whether it's your lead magnet, your
emails, your social media, your ads.
443
:If your messaging is not talking
to your ideal clients or isn't
444
:really on point you were really,
really going to struggle with ads.
445
:And what happens often is that
people think they've nailed
446
:their messaging organically.
447
:And then they come to me and we
start working on ads and they
448
:realize that they've got a lot
of work to do on their messaging.
449
:And the reason this is, is because
I briefly talked about earlier.
450
:That it's really easy to get into a habit
of just talking to our warm audience.
451
:We start talking in shorthand.
452
:We assume they know what we offer.
453
:And we talk about things in
a, quite a broad, generic way.
454
:We're often what we're promoting is
the solution to the problem rather
455
:than why they should work with you.
456
:So, for example, it's not enough for me.
457
:To make sure my audience knows
that using ads can grow their
458
:email list and then their business.
459
:They need to know how I will
help them use ads to grow their
460
:email list and their business.
461
:And there's a really,
really big difference.
462
:And a lot of us, when we start our
businesses, I'll get quite, have to
463
:be quite good at articulating that.
464
:And then as we develop this warm
audience, we forget that we need
465
:to make sure that we can articulate
this to a cold audience as well.
466
:And the art of ads and this customer
journey is really giving people
467
:the right level of information
and familiarity at the right time.
468
:I thought an example of this actually
is if you've ever been to a party
469
:and politely sort of asked someone
that you vaguely know, maybe a friend
470
:of a friend, like, oh, how are you.
471
:And 20 minutes later, like you're still
hearing about, their recent divorce
472
:and then their children's illness
and, you know, details that are way
473
:too much for a casual conversation.
474
:When you were expecting them
to say like, oh, I'm fine.
475
:Yeah.
476
:How are you?
477
:That's what's happening when you're
treating new people, like someone who's
478
:followed you on Instagram for three years.
479
:And so what you need to do is revisit
your messaging for ads in particular.
480
:And make sure that someone who's never
heard of you is going to understand
481
:it, know it's for them and be compelled
to kind of act on it very quickly.
482
:And the benefits really of nailing or
messaging is not only are you going
483
:to get cheaper leads because people
are going to know that it's for them.
484
:You also only going to attract the
right people that you want on your list.
485
:And then it's going to make
selling them a low ticket offer.
486
:And then eventually your
high ticket offer much easier
487
:so that's why a really, really
advocate thinking about your messaging
488
:alongside all of this as well.
489
:Okay.
490
:I know this has actually been a
longer episode than I had intended.
491
:There was a huge amount of information
in here for you to kind of think through.
492
:And if I was to summarize this episode
and I'm what I would do if I was
493
:thinking about this next is, I really
would think getting ads up and
494
:running and growing your email list.
495
:Testing or messaging, testing
your ads in a helping Facebook
496
:understand who your audience is.
497
:And making sure we can get
leads are relatively cheap.
498
:You know, people are coming on to email
less day in, day out and you're feeling
499
:confident about where you are with
them and then while those lead ads are
500
:running, you can start strategically
creating this social media content.
501
:Which you're going to use
in your engagement ads.
502
:So you're going to start wanting
to create that over time.
503
:You might create a podcast episode.
504
:You might create some
social media content.
505
:Maybe you're going to put a blog
on your website that you want to
506
:send some traffic to, like, that's
the kind of thing to think about.
507
:You can start doing that while you're
testing and learning on your lead ads.
508
:And in the background, you're going
to be working on your emails as well.
509
:Your welcome sequence, strategically
sending people to your long form
510
:content and that sort of thing.
511
:Once you've got all of that in place.
512
:That's when you're going to plug in
your ads to your low ticket offer.
513
:And see if you can start testing and
learning and selling some kind of offer.
514
:And the reality actually is as well.
515
:I should say you don't have to
have a super well tested sales
516
:page and offer for this because
you're spending such a low amount.
517
:Like, yes, obviously you want to be
testing that offer and that sales page.
518
:And if you can do that organically
as well, that is really helpful.
519
:But because you're only spending two
pounds a day and it's not the core
520
:focus of the funnel, you can use ads
to test out and get those results.
521
:And if you're not converting people, you
know, you can start testing and tweaking
522
:to see if you can start converting them.
523
:And testing your messaging is going
to be absolutely key to make sure
524
:that when you start selling this a
low ticket offer, it's super clear.
525
:And it's exactly what your people want.
526
:But it's not as critical as basing
your entire funnel on the sales
527
:page and the offer, which is a
totally different kind of shift.
528
:So, yeah, so that's where I'd start.
529
:If you're at a point where you think,
yeah, I really want to do this,
530
:but there's absolutely no way I'm
going to be doing this on my own.
531
:I am also very excited that in October.
532
:I am going to be co-running
a group program with Macbeth.
533
:She's a messaging and storytelling mentor.
534
:There is actually a
podcast episode with her.
535
:So you can go and have a listen to that.
536
:If you want to find out a
bit more about what she does.
537
:But she is incredible
at the messaging side.
538
:I've worked with her, she's worked with
me and now we're going to come together
539
:because we've both seen how messaging
and ads are just so crucial together.
540
:So what we're going to be
doing a beta group of 10 women.
541
:A very reduced price for six months to
take you through this entire model with
542
:support from collat on your messaging.
543
:Making sure your messaging is totally
on point to help this ads funnel fly.
544
:So, if you're interested in that we're
doing a very low key launch where we're
545
:just talking to people that are interested
between the two of us and our audiences.
546
:We have quite a lot of people.
547
:that have already said they're interested.
548
:We're going to be sending out information
soon, and then we're going to be doing
549
:some compatibility calls just to
make sure that you're right for the
550
:program and that we're right for you.
551
:And.
552
:That's all going to happen
at the end of September.
553
:So if you're interested and you would
like the information when it's ready
554
:and we'll send it out to you you
just need to DM me on Instagram.
555
:So it's at.
556
:Sophie Griffis co, which is
