 What's up B? How you doing? I'm good brother. How are you man? I'm good. Sometimes like when I you know get messages or whatever or emails and they're pretty detailed I'm like shit let's just get on the phone you know I mean I'll just I'll just I'll just show you what to do rather than typing you back paragraphs you know what I mean? I appreciate it. Thank you so much. Yeah man. What are you? Oh good bro everything is everything is good you know I took my family out yesterday and my son I have a 12-year-old son and I have a I have a 12-year-old son from my previous relationship and then I have a new little baby girl with my wife now. Okay. And then we have a little boy on the way that's gonna be here in about two months. That's awesome man. Congratulations good for you. Yeah thanks bro it's kind of crazy you know in these crazy times dude you know I mean yeah I don't know man it's kind of I'm excited obviously who you know well I don't know any parent that's you know not excited about a kid come actually though although there are parents that are not excited when you know they you know have kids on the way but normal people like us dude how can we not be fired up on you know a kid on the way but it's just crazy times right now bro uncertain times and the world is changing right right in front of our eyes and it's it's like almost I don't I don't know man I don't know what to think bro it's kind of crazy to me. Yeah likewise it's like I just try to stay focused so this is actually helping me a lot that I've you know had the time to do my job I actually lost my my job which is my active income I got it back and that was pretty amazing and now I have the ability to yeah I sort of the ability to do that and work on this which is this is something I've been wanting to do and having a passion for for a while so I'm glad that I can make it go really cool man good to hear bro good to hear having having a second income you know it's it's so freaking important bro like it's so important and what I what I forgot to mention the first time we spoke let me go back to my the first yeah yeah our first call one huge huge and there's not there's not too many affiliate products that you can find like this that I'm getting ready to mention but but you you don't need you don't need that many I mean what I forgot to mention is the fact that in affiliate marketing everything everything comes down to promoting different offers right whether it's clickbank whether it's Amazon you can go to any website man you can go to walmart.com you can go to best buy.com every single major major brand has some type of affiliate affiliate program and so my point is is that most affiliates though they'll get their link and they'll start promoting different offers and and and nine out of ten of them are one time commissions like everything on Amazon one time commission anything that you you would promote on clickbank most of them are just a one time commission what's super game changing is when you could find different offers that pay you reoccurring that pay you a monthly commission based on that product or service and so in this case what I promote that and that's the reason why I promote cartra and there's other softwares like cartra clickbank or not clickbank but click funnels for example is a popular landing page software but the fact that the fact that I can promote it get it get get an individual on it one time and because they have to pay for it every month the company pays me a percentage every month with it so that monthly commission bro is like like for example and and you don't need that many like you don't need that many like with my with my affiliate let me see if I can pull up my last in fact I can show you I can show you in fact let me just show it to you the damn like when these like and so this is this is so passive income is what I'm saying if you can find different products that that pay out a monthly commission and again most most products are are just one time but if I were you I would for sure add landing pages to your arsenal because you're gonna you're gonna start like you're gonna start building landing in fact my whole thing in the beginning with you was to drive traffic to a landing page yes so so because that's gonna be a huge part of your business you need to also start promoting it so I did a lot of research over the weekend I agree with you I think cartridge definitely a great model I did a lot of comparisons with click funnels and you know I'm I'm moving in that direction towards cartridge well for lead capturing and and all that so it's not even the fact that it's it's it's it's better it's not that it's it's necessarily better so I don't have any you know beef with click funnels and in cartridges just you know King Kong and better it's not just that it's the fact that it comes with more so with click funnels it's just the landing page so for 97 dollars a month I get the ability to build landing pages but then I also have to go get a separate email auto responder for my emails so a lot of people will go to MailChimp a lot of people go to campaign or schedule once there's many different email auto responders but that's a second software that's a second monthly bill too much to keep up with that's that's already too much and then and then and then as you get really good at this as you really really get good at affiliate marketing here's your here's step one is getting good at affiliate marketing step for you for you specifically yeah to step two is to eventually start teaching people what you did and that's when you start taking your knowledge and turning it into your own digital product now you have a course now you're selling your knowledge and so for people like that that's that's who I am right now in my given time of my career where I've been building what I'm doing for the past few years now I packaged all my knowledge up in the form of videos put it all into a product and now I'm selling that well if it wasn't for Cartra then I'd have to go get a third software which a lot of people use kajabi or a lot of people use teachable there's these different software platforms that host your videos that allow you to sell them and so that's another software that's another monthly fee so it's just the fact that Cartra same landing pages but it's like dang dude I have all these other capabilities with it then these are capable these are tools that I'm gonna need I need my email auto responder I need my calendar because if you're getting people to schedule appointments like like with you and I I send you my Cartra calendar now if it wasn't a calendar inside of Cartra then I have to go set up a completely different software a lot of people use Calendly because it's free but it's very very basic and it's like that's another software that I'd have to juggle so it's just the fact that everything is in one man and and as as the world turns and as the world changes and as we really start to work online millions are working from home millions are now working online millions are now trying to figure out how to work online and how to build something online landing pages and email automation and this whole digital course era this whole knowledge based society that we're in today where people can literally package what they know I don't give a damn what it is like you have you have knowledge right now Ben like you have skill you have certain passions you have something that you can do whether you're a mechanic whether you're a landscaper I don't give a damn you know something and so the biggest biggest trend in 2020 for the next few years this industry is expected to hit 300 billion by 2025 and that's the knowledge that's the knowledge society where now people are able to package what they know on any topic I don't care if you're sewing you're good at baking cookies if you're good at baking cookies okay put together 10 videos call it Ben's secret recipes you package it all up and you sell it you're telling me a guy like me or anyone that is interested in baking and it has that interest you're telling me I wouldn't buy that for $97 yeah I would and that whole opportunity of selling your knowledge that thing is a tsunami that is hitting the internet right now and and and and as shit has hit the fan and many many millions of people are out of work people are looking for ways to make money online so that's why Cartra with all these tools in one software it's like dang dude that's something I can get fired up about especially if I'm using it myself you know what I mean and so this right here it's a monthly commission that that it just every month it goes higher but it's like dude I'm no longer well yeah my and so here's what I did my whole Cartra because I knew affiliate marketing you know a few years ago I started learning it and I'm like dang dude yeah I don't necessarily want to make sales one time I understand residual income I understand the ability to sell something once and get paid for it over and over and over and that's when in 2017 I'm like holy crap I'm gonna build a YouTube channel around talking about it and that's my YouTube channel bro and that's that's where it's grown today my whole YouTube channel 90 90 99% of it 99% of every single video that I have up on this on this on this channel is me doing tutorials around Cartra so so amazing so so all I'm doing bro I'm not I'm not pitching I'm not freaking trying to sell I'm literally just building a channel around what I'm already doing and that happens to be building landing pages and setting up email automation and and doing it all through this one this one software and in the links of all of my video in the descriptions of all of my videos I have my affiliate link that gets people on Cartra so that's awesome again man it's like it's it's a monthly so so make sure you you implement some type of monthly affiliate offer that that you can that you can start building as well because that's a residual check that continues to grow and it's like dang dude and so and so this this right here this 40s 436 came from came from Cartra from the ability to make a passive monthly income and then because I'm talking about it over here on YouTube now I built an audience and I built up a channel over here on YouTube and let me show you this passive income so this is what you're gonna be doing you're gonna be fired up about health and wellness or whatever the hell niche you're choosing you're gonna come over here and start talking about it on YouTube and so let me show you what what what this entire thing have has turned into as far as you know income for me so for example just so now we're at May May 4th let me show you where I finished at for April so for the month of April if I go to revenue and I type and yeah I go to revenue and I go down to the drop down I go to April here's the check that I'm seeing from April 714 so that right there bro is my monthly and every month so it started happening in December I got a monthly check from YouTube for 335 and right when and do that 335 bro when I got that I was fired up it's that it's as if I looked at 33,000 yeah I'm like dang dude I'm with you all I'm doing is talking about affiliate marketing all I'm doing is talking about and doing tutorials on Cartra all I'm doing is talking about on this channel things that I'm already doing so it's not like I'm creating content I'm really just documenting what I'm doing so as you step into your into your career here as you step into your new business endeavor document document that's what that's what I'm doing here I'm simply taking pieces of my day and I'm turning on the damn camera and I'm saying hey let me walk you through how I'm building the damn page let me walk you through how I'm setting up my email in fact my affiliate commission let me walk you through how this happened that's all my videos are bro and and now now it went from 335 to January of 2020 to 413 February that monthly deposit was 494 and then it just kept going up so April going up you know it's 714 and it's gonna keep going up every month because I'm gonna keep putting up videos I love it that that's really amazing and to be honest with you everything you said in the beginning about Cartra is what I noticed is that I get all of that in one place and I don't have to go to Mailchimp and I don't have to go to that gets daunting I'm trying to cut out yes aggregating things aggregating everything and having to go like five different places so yes the real reason why I kind of like I didn't know Cartra exist I was ready to go to click funnels I didn't know wow I was like everybody doesn't yeah so I'm glad I found you first because I just want to I always wait a little bit before I do sure because I never know what I don't know you know what I mean yeah it's like it's like you could jump on one thing but then you might have to backtrack and start a new platform so yeah yeah it's all new for me so yeah it's just a juggling it's just a juggling click funnels has built an amazing community because of Russell Brunson the one who you know the founder of the company he is just a marketing genius he's my actual mentor so I I listen to everything that the guy says I'm just using the landing page software that's all yeah yeah you know and so so they they kind of started it all you know five six years ago with with just completely revolutionizing the internet and how people make cells rather than driving the traffic to a website drive it to a landing page and capture the lead that that right there that simple tweak has been a game changer and it yeah mainly they took over you know six years ago and then kartra came out like like I think kartra came out like three years ago and so kartra is now getting a big piece of the market as well and so all I've done man is talked about that and now that's my monthly commission from from talking about it on youtube it's amazing you know and an extra 700 a month bro come on like that I don't give a damn who you are like that that's that's pretty life-changing you know what I mean well it is because I mean that's you know at minimum wage that's you know a lot of hours right there that is bro that is after after withholding that's right you know that's quite that's like you know probably close to two weeks yes bro you know 40 hours per week so no that didn't happen overnight right it didn't happen overnight but but and and I started my channel in 2017 but I had no idea what I was doing like I wasn't uploading consistently I wasn't I didn't know any any the back end of youtube when you upload a video you got to do a few things to it I didn't know any of that into 2017 into 2018 didn't know any of that all I was doing was jumping on my cell phone and and talking about my business and talking about the day in life and it wasn't until like the end of 2018 when I started doing tutorials because it was July of 2018 I have a video on my on my channel it was July of 2018 where I'm literally recording myself as I'm leaving click funnels and starting up my 14-day trial for Cartra that was July of 2018 and I have a video on it so it wasn't until that point yeah it wasn't until that point July August September when I started doing tutorials on Cartra and now and even at that point into 2018 at the end of 2018 I still kind of didn't I wasn't consistent because the main thing about youtube is you got to be consistent you got to be putting up videos every week I wasn't necessarily doing that I didn't learn to do that until the middle of 2019 so it was in 2019 bro when I learned how to upload the videos the correct way I learned how to be consistent and that's when it blew up for me so I ended up going from a couple hundred subscribers to now and this is the end of 2019 so this wasn't that long ago I ended up going from a couple hundred subscribers to now 2100 I ended up going I ended up going from making no money on this damn thing to now it's 700 a month on it just a matter of a few months man but but but it was because of how I upload the video anyone the right way you upload a video and we'll do a whole another call on that I'll teach you how to do that but it's uploading the video but but most importantly it's the consistency it's it's putting up at least at least to to really really see it see a fast growth you want to do a week right how many one to two a week yeah yeah you want to do you want to do two two a week yeah you can do two a week you can grow you can grow fast you can grow fast and and you got to get to a thousand subscribers first so it goes zero to one thousand subscribers and and and that can happen work let me just without having to you know promise the world if you put up two videos per week and you did that for six months you'd be at that thousand you'd be at that thousand subscribers for sure got it and that's when you could start making money but but here's my thing too it's not like it's not like you know that's a full-time income just yet but at the same time it's not like I'm putting in a whole lot of time into it all I'm doing is documenting what I'm already doing yeah so it's like dude as you go in and set up your amazon see all that stuff bro you should have you should have recorded it hey guys yeah Ben I'm fired up I am setting up my amazon affiliate account right now and I want to walk you guys through it and kind of just show you how I do it hey guys I'm fired up this is Ben I'm setting up my clickbank account and I want to just show you guys how I do it little stuff like that bro that's all that's all I've been doing is is just showing you what the hell I'm doing as I'm doing it tutorials okay day in the life you know because you got to understand wherever you're at right now as far as knowledge there's always millions of people bro millions not thousands there are millions right now you're brand new affiliate marketing right now you're you're you're you're getting your feet wet you're trying to you're trying to learn from people like myself that are literally just a few steps ahead right yeah you always have to understand the reason why this is so powerful the reason why this right here is so powerful and and and document it and putting that content on youtube because you have to understand there's millions of people that are a few steps behind you right there are millions of people right now that are aspiring to do what you're doing but and these millions of people haven't set up their amazon account yet these millions of people have had no idea even about clickbank so just it just gives you the ability to build an audience of people that are beginners and and that's what I built my entire brand around bro when it comes to my agency and me getting clients when it comes to youtube and teaching what i'm teaching i literally have found my niche in teaching the basics like i am teaching the beginner because i know for a fact i'm not crazy advanced but i also know there's millions of people that are not even at my level like there's millions of people that are a few steps behind me so whatever i'm putting out those are the people i'm going to attract i'm not going to attract the major gurus who are already at seven figures nor do i need to attract them i'm attracting the bends right and that's a good thing and that's a great thing right and now man is going to start attracting the juniors and that's all this is bro so if so if i can focus on teaching the basics which allows me to not even have to be the craziest most knowledgeable like i don't i don't got to go around thinking i know it all no dude i'm just teaching the basics and i know that there's people a few steps behind me that are going to get value from it and i can build my whole my whole brand around that i mean the basics are tough what i can tell you is that people will make affiliate marketing seem like you turn your computer on and i i say i'm a bit of real estate agent for about two years now i'll say the same thing people think i get my license i hold the door open i cash a check right it's like no it's way more than that same thing with affiliate marketing it's like people think like oh you mean i just turn my computer on i throw some links around i get paid it's like it's it's a little bit more to it than that right it was that easy we would have done it a long long time ago you know so this whole approach has been you know for me it's been very um you know like making sure that i'm i'm taking all the right steps i'm putting everything into it that i need to so it's done right and it's putting me a long time just to get to this point you know to where i now have a domain name i have an email address you know all the things that i need you know go research what to do and how to set it up it's like it's take it you know i just i i got my logo and you know i went on fiverr and i had somebody they're writing me a little ebook word you know for 25 bucks i'm telling you dude those are 10 videos right there man those are youtube i should be doing all that yeah heck yeah documenting that every hey guys this is ben i'm fired up i'm gonna show you how i ordered a ebook on fiverr it was 25 bucks let me walk you through how to set it up in fact there's a discount code right in my description for fiverr so if you click on that you'll get a discount on your first order okay so when you go to fiverr can i backtrack a little bit and like go hey this is what i did to uh okay yeah okay perfect perfect you could do that too you you heck yeah dude when you come to fiverr and you come over here in the top right you come down to refer a friend and you get your own affiliate link now these guys don't pay you in cash but what they do is they pay you in credit so they start so if you come over here refer and get up to a hundred dollars got it in in actual fiverr credit so it's like shit i'll take that your 25 bucks that could have been a credit that's a credit yeah right so you come over here and there goes your affiliate link you copy that and and you start and what i would do also here's what you want to do also is as you start to get all these affiliate links from amazon and fiverr and clickbank and all these different links i would come over here and i would set up a free billy account okay do you know billy okay i've heard of it but okay perfect i guess these are all things i've heard of so right here billy so here's what you can do go to billy right here billy.com it's a free account and this let me show you this is going to allow you so so what i did is i took that link actually let me let me take it differently because i already have a link for that let me just show you how it's really done so if i take any link i could take this link right here i could take in fact let me let me get the real link there we go so if i take this link right here copy it i come over to billy i log in i click create all i got to do is paste in that link okay and it's gonna allow me to title it my facebook business page lightbulbs go off and then what i can do is i could put um i could put shit i could put whatever i want i could put inspired digital and then and then and then i hit save actually i already already have that one let me go let me go fb let's go fb inspired digital okay and then boom there goes my link so rather than pasting this long-ass ugly affiliate link yeah i can customize it and and make it to my liking i was wondering how people did that and now i now you've given me the the tools you give me the keys to the kingdom on that because that's a difficult one like getting a big when people see these big links they get kind of scary like oh yeah for sure link kind of do was that big link gonna do to me you know so i think the smaller ones are a little bit better for presentation when you're trying to you know put it out there yes dude big time it's the vanity it's just that vanity like i have all these different billy links for for so many different things like cartra like here's my my so i could take this this is my affiliate link right here for just the email cartra like if i want to talk about just the email you know i could i i can customize a cartra mail i copy that and then boom if someone were to go to that billy link they click on that billy forward slash cartra mail it brings them straight to wherever i'm directing them and in this case it's my affiliate link talking about the cartra email so they get a if they're interested in that then that gets them into cartra because then you know yeah it's value value yeah yeah and that's my affiliate link so so i'll get paid on it and so like if you look at like and then and then also what's cool about billy is that it gives you the the stats so it says okay 11 people clicked on it from an email 11 people clicked on it from youtube two people clicked on it from facebook so if i really want to get into the analytics i can start really tracking where people are coming from yeah which is which is pretty cool right so you don't really got to focus on the numbers and but actually you you you can because if i looked at that and i was like and i saw 1100 people clicked on it from youtube but only one from email or one from facebook then i'm like dude let me just spend all my time talking about it on youtube because that's where all my clicks are coming from anyways right so that right there is what you want to tie billy you want to tie it to all of your affiliate links because every single one of them are going to look ugly like this whether it's clickbank whether it's amazon amazon is a shorter one but it's still an amazon one like it's still if i post that anywhere it automatically you know amazon is in the url you know i mean i might just customize it to to say something that i wanted to say okay you know what i mean yeah for sure that makes total sense bitly bitly is a game changer and here's here's my fiverr one here's my fiverr one so there so if i if i go back to the fiverr here's my my my link 46 46e9 okay here is my here's my affiliate link right here 46e9 fiverr.com slash s24 slash 46 so there's my and there's my custom link 20 off fiverr so if i want to copy that when you look in the description of my youtube videos you see that link yeah that's amazing so it's like damn dude if you're a game changer yeah dude like and that's why i've spent a ton on fiverr but had i had some credits shit you know i that would have been cool like maybe i didn't have to spend a hundred bucks i would have had you know 50 bucks in credit because people are clicking on my link you know what i mean that's i didn't even think about that that's why what's glad that there's people out here doing this because it's just like i love fiverr but you could you could spend a lot of money you know just getting things set up you know there's a lot of amazing so far there's like so many amazing resources there having video edits done for you and stuff ebooks like you said little things it's like that's not things that i would be professional at and doing on my own so yeah yeah yeah that's definitely an amazing resource for the for the price you know what i mean yeah for the price so what what were your what were your you had some specific questions when you emailed me what did you email yes so much yeah so my specific questions and thank you for all that by the way david that is just like an amazing you know yes sir eye opener and we're going to move forward with all that stuff too but one of my main questions to you was you know we started this we were talking about facebook groups i've never actually started a facebook group or moderated one so i don't really know like what kind of rules i should create for the group how i should invite people the group is set up right now it has a logo and you know it has a tagline and you know it's it's ready to go but i just don't want to launch anything because i don't want to get a group where you know people just come start dropping political memes and and stuff you know what i mean so i want to make sure i know how to how to moderate a group and i know why people are here so if we just could just spend a little bit of time with that that would be great oh yeah dude for sure what let me look let me pull up your group what's your group um it's called uh ben's health and wealth and here's here's here's the first um ben's health and wealth well yeah here's the first the first tip the first tip is i wouldn't have your name in it okay so i might have to change that yeah you can easily just edit it you can easily edit it okay and change the name um you might have it private because i can't i can't find it it is you know it probably is private i probably have to change that yeah so i might have to go in and just change it for you so that it's not private let me see if yes um let's go to my really quick and that way you can get in and then you can see it let's see so i go to moderate right moderate group um go didn't go to share your screen share my screen okay let me um let me do that first share screen um let's see which one do i want to it's not one there okay so can you see my screen now uh yes okay great okay so uh let's see so um right now the group is let's see where do i find how do i moderate the group so i can change the um whether you can get in or not so you can see it what you can do is you can um go to go to go to go to go to members see if you can click on members to the right okay yeah actually you can click on that one yeah click on members and then let's click on actually try click it on on more yeah right there click on more and then go to settings so edit group settings okay yeah and here's the thing about a group dude um see that's awesome right there ben's health and wealth the reason why that and that looks freaking amazing dude that logo that freaking color that's a fiber yeah it's a fiber that's freaking amazing that's like really that's really nice but but at the same time it'll it'll you can you could you could reach out to him and say hey man here's five bucks i need you to take out the word ben oh so we don't want to have my name in there that's what i would do the thing yeah that's what i would i would i would i would completely make it more general because people are gonna want to be involved especially this and this is specifically for facebook a facebook group people would be more enticed to be involved with a general group of interest rather than a group of interest in a person's interest okay so all of a sudden i'm interested in ben's health and wellness who the hell has been yeah you know what i mean but but if it was health and wellness or five tips for the for to have the most amazing health and wellness or or health and wellness hacks now it's more like freaking general and it's like holy shit that that sounds pretty cool let me join that one okay so so not unless you're a celebrity then you could put your name well i'm not but i'm trying to create my whole idea behind this was trying to create a personal brand you know that people can then associate with yes i don't know if this is you know the right way have been health and wellness is still good but for the group we might want to have something different is that does that make sense like the group might need to be called something different yeah yeah you could for sure put your name in everything except for the group like i would go for the group okay so the facebook group might need to be something a little different okay live in general without without your personal name okay yeah so that okay so that's one thing that i'll do is change that um and then as far as do you want me to change it so you can get in or yes if you scroll down like so you should see go to scroll down um the color change privacy settings so with this one you can make it you can make it a closed group you can go actually go click on more okay yeah learn more is there um okay because it should be closed private or public actually go back okay we should see um all i saw was public and private yeah they used to have closed as well closed means that it's closed and you and anybody can find it yeah try try click on it again okay change privacy setting so we got only members can see who's in the group and what they post anyone anyone in the group and what they post see so i don't um actually want to tell you the truth to tell you the truth it wouldn't be a bad idea man just leave it public okay like because people are gonna join it if they if they if they if they have an interest like if they want to they want to get in they have to ask to join and they'll be us you know we'll get to that next which is like questions that people answer to get in yeah yeah yeah and and so but but at the same time like when it comes to a facebook group the ones that are huge huge huge are the ones that are driving traffic so for example the way i would set it up like let me show you yeah go ahead and confirm that make it public here's how i would be doing it now that i know what i know today here's exactly how how i would be doing it like let me let me share my screen real quick okay let me know when you can see my screen yeah i can see your screen okay i have let me just let me just show you an example i have um it is it's this one right here i have this one landing page so as i mentioned on our first call 100 of what you should be doing is running ads to give away that free download so once you give once you get that download back that's your bait we're running ads to get people to download that book okay that ebook targeting that interest getting them to download it and that's what i'm saying that's why you would need a cartridge you would need some type of landing page software to make that happen bottom line like bottom line you would need a landing page software so you're running ads to the landing page to get them to download the book they come here they enter their name and email send me your ebook now they they click on the yellow button and they go to what we call a thank you page this is the thank you page what i would do is i would put a link right here which is what i did so thank you for your interest i just emailed you a list of homes help me gather more they click here and it takes them straight to facebook messenger where now i have them in my facebook messenger what i would put over here on yours is i would say join our group right now health and wellness tips and tricks click here to be a part of our facebook group and boom they click here it takes them straight to the group where they can request access that's that's what i was trying to get to is how to get people into the group you know how to invite people i think this starts to answer my question we're going from the top of the funnel which is getting to people to go down to the page the page takes them into the group and once they're in the group then they have the ebook now they can be a part of everything that i'm putting out in the group which is this recipe look at this that looks book this is a great book it'll help you on you know sugar um and so that's kind of what yeah okay this might be the approach is why you need to go cartra to landing page to you know the group and then like you said i might change some things in the group there um to get that going too yeah i mean you could you could ask a couple questions for sure like let me see if i can pull it up now bends health and well like you can you can for sure you could look like it's right there yeah okay so right when i hit join group you can for sure you can for sure ask like some questions like join group right here so your membership is pending approval answer these questions from the group admins to help them review your membership do you like did you set this up already um no so yeah so i have four rules i've created right for you know you can see four rules but i don't have any questions i don't think i set up any questions yet okay let's see so then do you like to learn do you like to learn about things that will give value to our our life so this right here is what you would just you would just put this one one question in fact i would just put one question hey hey what brings you here today and why why do you want to why is health and wellness or why is health and well so important to you okay okay that's a great question and that's it dude answer one damn question and boom if that answer is legit let them in okay especially if they just downloaded your book and then the rules so that answers that's good because it answers like i don't want to give too many questions it's tiny people from getting right exactly what to exactly then i want the rules to be clear that like this is not a place to come drop you know spam ads for ray band glasses you know this is not a place to just come start talking debating about yeah political and religious stuff like this is not the group for that like this is this is how you get recipes books you're gonna see videos on on so right you know so as releasers and stuff like that so so these rules right here are enough for that to be clear okay you really don't need to go into into anymore this right here tells me hey man i can't be a jerk i can't just you know promote with with you know random stuff and and at the same time when it comes to managing a facebook group that's what you have to do you'd have to manage it so yeah you would have to somewhat micromanage it so if if if if random posts come in you got to be there to delete it right away which you'll get a notification you'll get a notification where you can you can you can delete it right away so i wouldn't worry about that at all like i have a group my group over here this is when i started um probably like probably two years ago but i have this group over here this is this is for you know what i do my daytime business my agency i have 4600 people in this group right here so this is my group like i i'm the admin of this group so 4600 real estate agents in this case they're all in this group and if anyone post i get a notification okay you know obviously i can change the notifications i don't you know i i can i can you know change the settings to my liking but at the same time if we've got to worry about random people posting random stuff then we're going to make sure that we get you know every notification over here i got nothing but professionals and no one's really i i get a notification to let them in so so a person can't just join without me letting them in but other than that i don't really need to worry about them posting random stuff because these are quote-unquote professionals and all they do is care about selling their damn properties that's right so that's what they're posting so so people you know that that are in your in your industry what i mean obviously you'll probably get a hold of some of them will be affiliate marketers and some of them will probably post different things um and to tell you the truth bro i wouldn't care like i wouldn't care as long as as long as you're not promoting a link for Ray bans actually you know what to tell you it's true yeah yeah as long as you're not promoting stuff that does not have to do with our industry then then you're fine but if you're an affiliate yeah and you're also promoting health and wellness stuff why care then that's what i think yeah you're right so that's what i want is i want people to come into the group and go oh hey i also you know have this great video to sell that's perfect as long as it's about health and wealth but if it's it you know if it's just like come to my you know my store to buy nikes yeah exactly yeah you know or or buy this macbook pro that's not yeah i guess that's what i want to look at i have to set my rules you know ahead so that i know hey i'm not okay with that in the group yeah yeah for sure and again you as the admin you'll have to just monitor that you'll get a notification you know you'll get a notification anytime someone post and three seconds later you'll delete it so it's not it's not the and you're not going to have thousands of people in the beginning anyways like it's going to take you a while just to get a few hundred yeah if you're doing it the slot the slow way which yeah slow way is when you just come to your personal page and try to promote it that way hey guys i got this group if anyone's interested click here and join our group like it's like dude to your 600 friends like that's going to get played out very very soon very quickly you know so so that's why i for sure with your ebook i would run paid ads and and and i'd get them i'd get them to download the book and then when they when they click download now i would bring them to a page like this a thank you page with you on video hey guys this has been author of health and wealth just wanted to say thank you personally introduce myself and and really set the expectations on what to expect over the next couple days you're going to receive an email with your download to download right away you're also going to get some training emails that i put together so make sure you check your emails over the next few days and by the way i have a private facebook group for all of us so click the link below and just keep in mind that there's no spamming there's no this there's no that this is literally a 60 second video dude that would go right here on the thank you page okay and you can record it right there bro like you don't need any any professional background green screen no dude professional normal authentic like like the way you are right now is freaking perfect right here look my background bro there's all my youtube yeah it's like dude i ain't got nothing fancy dude nor do you need it like you don't need that shit right now no not at all i would do i would do a simple video right there hey guys thank you so much this book i put a lot of time a lot of sweat equity into it let me tell you why i'm so fired up about it in the book i'm going to talk about this this isn't this and and by the way click the button below it's going to take you straight to our facebook group or i want to personally introduce you and here's the thing what i would do also anytime a new member joins the group you take a few seconds out and shout them out hey guys this is this is ben i just wanted to shout out steven for joining the group hey steven congrats man welcome to the group you're gonna learn a ton everybody give you know steven a welcome and then boom it just creates engagement with the post people start commenting hey hey steven great great great to be in the group hey man thanks for joining yeah hey guys yeah cool welcome to the group ben or welcome to the group steven you know what i mean yeah and and and and when you get that kind of engagement on any post on facebook facebook continues to promote it now now in a group they don't promote your post but in in a group they promote your group so the more engagement that is happening in the group facebook starts suggesting it to other random people and that's when organic you know people are going to start joining because facebook promotes it that's how groups grow in the first place when there's engagement facebook starts to push the suggestion of groups um did not know that i did not know that yeah dude that's why that's why like when you look at like for example if i come over here and i click on groups look you're gonna see friends groups i'm gonna see all these other different groups look that i that they're suggesting mm-hmm and so and so yours will end up popping up over here eventually for other people eventually and and they'll start seeing you and they'll start being okay damn health and wealth hacks for health and wellness shit let me check that out that's how these groups that's one way these grow these groups grow so big and then a lot of them are driving traffic as well to get it to 86 563 thousand it's like dude you're driving traffic you're running ads and you're also promoting that group okay or sure for sure for you to get hundreds of thousands of members like that's okay group you know so maybe i start with changing the name to something like you just said something really good like you know hacks for health and wealth or something like that hacks for health and wellness well or hacks for health and wealth health and wealth yeah health and wealth hacks or something like that yeah whichever one's available right yeah and if you look at all these all these big groups man 86 thousand 82 thousand look dude look at all of these freaking groups not one of them do you see someone's personal name in it right you're all right general yep you are absolutely right so i got to get on board with that too all of them dude they're all freaking general bro not one yeah not one personal name yeah you know so so that that's super important but um at the same time is is growing that group and you're in a good position you got that ebook you're gonna start running traffic you need some type of landing page software and here's the thing too as they as as you run an ad to get people to download that book you bring them to a thank you page like this where it's you thanking them telling them to to click the button to join the group and also telling them to check their emails because first of all the link for the download was just email to you but you're also telling them to check your emails because you got a lot of good emails coming their way so automatically you're programming them from the very first second after they click the damn button you're already programming them to check your emails to look out for my emails okay that's a psychological hack like i'm telling you right now hey man look out for my emails i got a lot of trainings coming your way and so here's how you want to break up the emails which which is super basic and super powerful now that you have this book that is going to be your email automation again that's why i use cartra for the email otter responder so for example i download your health and wealth book right now i check my email there's the link to download it i get it right away two days later the otter responder sends me another email what i would do if i were you and this is what i do for my personal business is exactly my strategy exactly in my emails that go out i have just a handful of them automated right so you don't need to you don't need to set up 50 more emails that are automated you can if you want but to tell you true that's really simple set up maybe 10 10 automated emails that are going to go into your cartra email otter responder and what i would do is i would set it up in a way where each email is talking about the book so for example this is how i have mine set up bro i have a i have a 50 page ebook myself and in my book i'm teaching five marketing strategies i'm teaching five steps to implement on social media to capture more leads and build your personal brand fast that's my 50 page book i'm talking about these five basic steps in my emails you download you you go to my page you download it and you check your email and boom there's the link to download the damn book tomorrow you're going to get another email hey ben this is david just wanted to follow up and say thank you hey yesterday you downloaded my book the top five steps do you remember on chapter one where i was talking about step one here's step one and so now my emails are all based around what's in the book three days later hey ben this is david just wanted to follow up hey a few days ago you downloaded my my health and wealth hey remember on page nine when i was talking about high blood pressure and cholesterol this is what i meant and so now my emails i'm i'm educating the the reader on what's in the book now that person may have not read it yet and that's fine but but my email content the ability that i can actually put out this content to remain top of mind because that's all that is i'm sending them emails so i can remain top of mind right so and so i can build this relationship with them and it just makes it a little bit more easier for me to create email content because all i got to do is base it around the book if it's if it's a 20 page book and there's five chapters i'm going to create 10 emails over the next 10 days talking about each chapter okay and in the emails in each email i'm going to say hey ben and by the way if you're not a part of our facebook group already click the link and join our group now talk to you tomorrow so now we have call to actions in our emails to get them to join the group because they may have they may have clicked the yellow button right now to join the group they may have not in fact most of them probably won't even click on it right away but if they're but if i'm telling them in video hey man check your emails i got a bunch of training videos coming your way you're not going to want to miss out that's my other call to action in the emails to to to get you to join my group that's that's like really powerful amazing stuff man this is like i really can't wait to get it set up yeah man so so so landing pages are are going to be a must bro running that running facebook ads as that is going to be a must as as for that download is a must and then and then taking them to the spanky page to get them to click the button to join the group that that's how you can grow very very fast okay and then from that point on you can start you can start promoting your different your different affiliate offers inside of your facebook group you can start promoting your affiliate offers to your email list because now you have this email list of hundreds of people that downloaded your book that's why that book is so important it's your credibility it's your it's your credibility and and and and right when you come out with this book i don't care if it's not a physical copy i don't care if it's just a digital download i don't care it's the fact that my face is on that damn thing and that's credibility and and that automatically puts me on a pedestal where people automatically assume that i have authority all because my face i'm telling you bro right when you put your face in your credentials and your freaking name on a damn book who the hell has a book yeah who has a book like automatically your king kong and so if i can drive traffic to just the book and then i can build the relationship via email and my facebook group whatever offers i start to drop from that point on people are going to be more engaged in my stuff because they're because they're already looking at me as an authority right they're looking at me as if i'm a damn author who the hell is an author they they really are right it carries a lot of weight and and if you're talking about all this through weekly youtube videos and you're building a youtube channel on top of it all they're like holy shit this guy is really doing it and it's like dude you have no idea bro how much credibility my youtube channel gives me and it's like dude i'm not even that ain't even nothing like 2000 subscribers that still ain't nothing although it might seem like a lot to someone that has 200 but at the same time when you look at most people especially in health and wellness you go to some of these other channels that have 300 thousand subscribers it's like holy crap like they must be really crushing it but even at my low level even at this low level bro i still have credibility and people listen to what the hell i'm saying yeah like you have no idea how many people how much business i got from this channel alone even when i was at a thousand subscribers 1200 subscribers once you cross that 1000 people start to take you seriously and they're like damn dude he he's not stopping the guy keeps dropping new new information and so it's just another form of credibility that is important you got your book you got your facebook group you got this youtube channel where you keep talking about the damn thing that's credibility this is this is really good stuff it's amazing and at the end of it all i want you to keep it simple bro don't think you're a crazy powerful camera or microphone or any of that crap you don't need none of that crap i'm still doing ghetto ass videos from my home office with no major my lighting is my damn bedroom lamp but it's like dang dude at least i got started and i ain't complaining with an extra 700 a month just from youtube alone right right but most people are procrastinators because they're perfectionists and they need every damn image and video on social media to perfect when it's like damn dude don't hold your breath because you you're gonna you're gonna die you'll be gone before you get it done you won't be here you'll be gone before it happens yeah you're right i've been told that by many people like you know ty Lopez and everyone is like he'll say look get the side up get going it's not going to be perfect you know you're gonna stumble through it but you just do it and then from there you grow and i think you're right it's some people they'll hesitate i didn't hesitate a little bit and i finally decided okay i gotta start pushing pushing pushing and doing things because you'll wait too long to take action and then you'll be like you know left behind so bro you know it's so right what's so crazy is that 99 percent of everything i'm talking about as far as the production the authenticity raw keeping it simple cell phone doing video this way 99 of all that bro came for me analyzing ty Lopez when i started learning all this stuff in 2016 he was the one that was on my radar he was the one that was running ads on youtube like no one else like he was the one and all of his material bro was from a cell phone all of his hand shaking his video is moving he's walking through you know his backyard like like he's in his garage like very authentic raw not even low budget just what what it is it's just freaking right a video like i'm selfie style video like and and as i saw him blow up from that simple freaking method that way of production i'm like dang dude and and then i started looking at other people that had fancy edited videos fancy this fancy that i'm like dang dude all that was not even really necessary like this is social media like people are looking for the most realist ben right like i don't want to i i don't need to add all this extra fancy bells and whistles at least not right now at least not to get started right and then and then i ended up investing in one and actually in a few of ty lopez's courses this is like 20 so did i 2017 you know and then i and then i log into his course and his course was super freaking basic not as far as the content but as far as the production like like like it was like basic ass video and i'm like holy crap this guy is rushing it and there ain't nothing fancy about his production and that's that's because and the reason why that stood out to me is because that's how i am i am no web developer i'm no video editor i don't know one damn thing about audio and microphones same so i looked at ty lopez i'm like dude if he could if he can walk down the street and talk on his cell phone and stutter and have messed up hair and freaking not even care i'm like shit i can do that that's that's what i said too is i said wow this is you know you go to the movies if you want to see high production if you want to you know right youtube if you want to see you know real real stuff so i agree we don't need to worry about you know having you know the background perfect and the lighting and stuff that comes when you're like way down the line yeah way down the line way down the line but but it's all about getting started man it's all about getting started so i that's why i applaud you for just getting started i applaud you for reaching out to somebody because most people wouldn't get started they'll procrastinate on that and then most people won't even reach out to someone it's like shit bro like that's why i always give someone my time because i'm like dude for the nerve for them to even reach out to me for the nerve for them to even think that i'm even someone yeah you could have picked from a million different marketers bro but you chose me and i'm i take that i i'm humbled by that yeah i mean to be honest with you it's like here's how it went like i i've looked at a lot of you know videos and i've got God that's so much information this is great it's a lot of information and i saw yours and i was like oh i'm straight to the point and all the comments said the same thing finally someone who just gets down to business and goes straight to the point because there's a million videos that will show you what to do but it's like 10 hours it's gonna take you 10 hours you know to watch everything and put it together so i think this has reduced a lot of anxiety about getting it going and getting it done right now i'm going on the right path to to build it the because i do understand sales i work in real estate but i don't know anything about setting it up online yeah this is huge for me yeah bro big time keep it simple just get started man and and and you'll learn as you grow you know you'll learn as you as you grow and what else we got what other what other questions we got well i think that was you know that was my biggest question was you know i just that helped me a lot with the facebook so i have a little bit of critiquing there to do i think the rules are set up good i think you know the the question to get in i think how to my second one so you answered both those questions the third one was what's the approach to getting people in the group and you answered that question too which is let's go from the top of the funnel down you know and get people to the landing page and then into the group and i think that makes sense because if you're just sitting here asking people to join your group i mean we all get that yeah that's slow that's painful yes so i'm trying to figure out how to like you said grow the channel grow the group grow the database on cartra which is what we will be doing and like you said i don't want to have five different things where it's like mail chimp and all this other stuff out there so i'm on board with you and uh i think this is going to work out real well yes man facebook adds to that book getting them to this page where you're telling them to join the group and then also also putting a link going to bitly so for example here's here where let's let's pull back up ben's health and wealth and wealth so so what i would do is i would for sure um i'd come here this is my link for the group i would take that and i would go create a bitly link and i would put that bitly link in every single description of my youtube videos okay so that's where it goes as well so so create take this link for the group go to bitly create that put that in the description like it's down there at the bottom whatever people can see it they'll click on it and it'll take them into the group they can join and then yes dude and in and in your videos so in your videos in your youtube videos that becomes the new call to action at the end of the video hey guys and by the way i have a link in the description click on the link to join our facebook group where we drop a ton of knowledge on health and wealth and hacks and strategies and tips and tricks join our facebook group the link is right in the description i'll see you guys on tomorrow's video okay and so it's going to be a cool bitly link that they'll see beautiful and and and that's that's the call to action in every video and that link is in the description so you're building a youtube channel which is going to now eventually throw off an extra income for you on the side now now we have the ability to build a youtube income from it all and you got traffic of people joining the group because the link is in the description and you got a ton of people downloading your book because you're running paid ads and they're joining your group that way as well i think that'll be another call and strategy like facebook ads and instagram and all this other stuff i want to keep it to getting cartra getting this group set up getting you know getting landing pages and then we can move to the the next thing once you get your book bro once you get your book go to any of my videos in the in the description there's a profit with cartra dot online once you get your ebook set up your 14 day trial that's our next call i'll jump on and i'll help you put together the whole damn funnel okay so i'll have that book in about two two or three days yeah it's all good whenever man whenever we need to tie that to a cartra page asap okay so set up the 14 day trial and then just hit me up okay that sounds great man all right brother anything else awesome well that's that's it man you've done a great job today thank you for answering all my questions i really appreciate you and your time yes and you know i look forward to you know having you help me with cartra too because that's going to be another whole you know opening up a whole another feeling back to onion now right we're feeling back to layers and the thing about cartra the support is insane like on facebook for one there's we have a facebook group where there's like 17 thousand people in the group so this is the the cartra group but most importantly every Tuesday and Thursday we have a live q and a screen share where cartra support jumps on every Tuesday and Thursday at 1 p.m pacific and they go for about an hour hour and 15 and just it's a q and a so you come with your questions hey man how do i tie a landing page how do i set up a membership course how do i set the email drip system you come up with any question and they will answer it in real time on screen share right in front of us that's every Tuesday and Thursday but anyone that sets up their cartra account through my link that's when i just give them my time for free got it so we'll we'll be able to jump on strategy calls and i'll walk you through the whole damn system that's that's awesome man i love that that's that's really alleviating a ton of anxiety for me but like thank you so much for sure brother for sure so hit me up man we're just we're just getting started just getting started man let's do it all right man have a great great day buddy our brother
