You should get a coach when you start a podcast. 3 Key Points: Niches can become too specific to the point that they become limiting. Use minimal equipment for your podcast. Having a successful podcast takes patience. Tweetable Quotes: “You need a blue ocean. A lot of other people will say it is your avatar, it's your ideal listener, it's your niche, whatever name you want to give it.” – Travis Chappell (Microphone) “This setup that you are looking at right here is just an ATR2100 USB from Audio Technica.” – Travis Chappell “The goal is to monetize quickly, and that is true.

303: Joel Marion Part 2 | $0 to $100 Million in Sales in ONE Year? Jul 29, 2019

Show notes

This is the second part of the interview with Joel Marion, the co-founder and CMO of BioTrust Nutrition, with over $600 million in sales. In this section, Joel Marion shares how he transitioned from teaching in high school into the business that he runs now, how he connected with some of the top marketers in his space to achieve his many magnificent milestones, and how he scaled his supplement company from zero dollars to $100 million in sales in the first full calendar year. Joel also grew his email list from zero to 20 million subscribers, and an additional one up to 3 million subscribers. Episode Highlights: Travis Chappell introduces the accomplishments of Joel Marion. What are the best practices for building a large email list? How do you create a good lead magnet? Scale happens from cracking the ‘viral’ code or by paying for traffic. What is more important: what you know or who you know? Joel Marion got to know the top 20 vendors on ClickBank in his category. Be a likable person and work your way into important people’s lives by adding value. Many members of Joel’s business circle have transitioned into personal friends. What other professions would Joel like to get into? If he could talk to anyone, dead or alive, who would Joel want to talk to? How does he like to consume content? Study what is working. About 8 years ago, Joel made between $5,000-$6,000 per email send for his supplements with an email list of over $200,000. Does Joel have a morning routine? Joel says he is good at making a list of things that will move the needle and getting them crossed off. What is his go-to pump-up songs? Is there something that Joel feels he is not good at? 3 Key Points: Nobody is signing up for a free newsletter at this point. It is way oversaturated. Business is all relationships. You even have to build relationships with your customers. The launch of Joel’s health and fitness product led to becoming the largest launch in fitness history at that time, doing $350,000-$450,000. Tweetable Quotes: “Nobody wants to be on another email list. Period. But, if you’ve got a good enough ‘ethical bribe’ on the front and a ‘lead magnet’ then people will still give you their email address.” – Joel Marion “I knew the business that I was getting into, which was healthy and fitness publishing. So, I went to the largest marketplace for health and fitness publishers, which was ClickBank, ClickBank.com.” – Joel Marion “Your knowledge is useless unless you have people to support that.” – Joel Marion Resources Mentioned: Visit Travis’ website at http://www.buildyournetwork.co/ (Buildyournetwork.co) Join the Build Your Network Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/byncommunity/ (BYN.media/fb) Join the Build Your Network University Facebook group here https://www.facebook.com/login/?next=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fgroups%2Fbynuniversity (byn.university) Leave a rating and review for the Build Your Network Podcast on https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/build-your-network/id1268488944 (iTunes) Watch Travis’ free masterclass on how to build the network of your dreams at https://threenetworkingsecrets.com/webinar-registration30876682 (threenetworkingsecrets.com) Get equity-free investments from Clearbanc at https://www.20mintermsheet.com/?utm_source=travis&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=pod2 (clearbanc.com/travis) Try ZipRecruiter for free at https://www.acast.com/privacy (acast.com/privacy)

Show notes

Chris Winfield, The Super Connector, Bedros Keuilian, founder of Fit Body Bootcamp, and Billy Gene from Billy Gene is Marketing talk to your host Travis Chappell about how to add value to those around you. Episode Highlights: Chris Winfield Has more connections in the media world that just about anyone. Ask people questions about themselves and get to know them. Rarely there are cases where you won’t be able to help someone. Enthusiasm is really underrated - show up and care. Careers and money aren’t what makes you happy, it’s about the journey, not the circumstance. Bedros Keuilian Founder of $300 Million dollar franchise Fit Body Bootcamp. People stay complacent in mediocrity because they’re not willing to go out and explore. Bedros’ dad was so good at networking that he knew who to bribe and risk it all to get to the U.S. No matter what hardships you’re going through, keep your humor about you. When you don’t have financial resources you have to get resourceful. Billy Gene He didn’t feel like he had something to bring to the table at the beginning. Come to the table and have your thing that you’re an expert at. When you have an audience that’s something you can bring to the table too. Something you can offer is to do your service for free - just do it and hand it to them. The difference between making $45,000 a year and $200,000 a year is being a closer. 3 Key Points: Ask people questions, they like to talk about themselves and you will learn something. Adding value to others without expecting anything in return creates greatness To network with the people you want, you have to bring something to the table. Tweetable Quotes: “I want to get to know people and understand what they’re all about so I know how to help them.” -Chris “I’ve stood on the shoulders of giants that I’ve reached out to and helped.” -Bedros “Don’t be afraid to pay to be around someone, that you can afford them says it all.” -Billy Resources Mentioned: Visit Travis’ website at http://www.buildyournetwork.co/ (Buildyournetwork.co) Learn more about mentorships and masterminds for FREE at http://www.freemmcourse.com/join (freemmcourse.com/enroll) Customize the top 5 people in your network and level up your inner circle at http://travischappell.com/explode (travischappell.com/explode) Try ZipRecruiter for free at http://ziprecruiter.com/byn (ziprecruiter.com/byn) Connect with people who are difficult to reach with Meet Your Hero at http://travischappell.com/hero (travischappell.com/hero) Download the Himalaya App in the https://apps.apple.com/us/app/podcast-audio-player-himalaya/id1275493456 (App Store) or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ximalaya.ting.himalaya&hl=en_US (Google Play) For information regarding your data privacy, visit https://www.acast.com/privacy (acast.com/privacy)
