How to make money with stories (Part 1)...


Question from a subscriber...

"How do you make money with stories? I literally don't know why you keep saying that."

When I read this question....

My hair grew 10ft longer instantly. The curls turned into wings so I could fly. And then I screamed down on humanity all the ways storytelling can make you money...

It's so obvious isn't it?

...But then I fell back down to earth and landed in the fetal position with my thumb in my mouth.

Why?

I failed you Reader...

Because I haven't taught you the ways of storyselling. After the past 2 years of slinging sales stories on email, social media, sales pages, and ads...

...Story selling seemed so obvious to me. But this question stuck a finger in my ear so hard that I'm BEYOND inspired. This question inspired me to avoid story hell or villagers attacking me with pitchforks (Frankenstein style) for not sharing the money making storytelling secrets...

How could I have been SO FOOLISH?

Look, I hit six figures in my story biz after I learned THIS: the art of using emotional impact into every piece of content. Let me show you how to do the same...

...However there are soooo many ways that this email would literally turn into a book...

...So I've created a mini email series explaining how you can make money with stories. And insights into how I use stories to make money.

Buckle the ferk up because I'm about to drop some truth bombs that'll make your head spin faster than a meth-addicted hamster on a wheel.

Part 1:

Fun fact: Companies and people are constantly selling to you...

The average human being is exposed to 6,000-10,000 ads per day. Those ads are trying to persuade you to take action. To respond. To get your attention. And most importantly TO BUY.

Enter advertising.

•What kind of ads convert the most?
•What kind of ads stand the test of time?
•What kind of ads go viral and people talk about over and over?

Well put on your swimsuit cause I'll show you the simple technique to write ads that give you wet dreams of money....

Find out the sneaky technique I use to turn ordinary ads into gold, turning every dollar spent into 3 (marketer's don't want you to know this)...

...The technique?

2 words: Emotional appeal

AKA Things that make humans feel something. Things that make them REACT.

Ever wondered why some ads make you stop scrolling? It's not luck, it's strategy. Learn the real reason why certain ads captivate and convert. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

Stories.

If you're ads are boring then let's fix it...

Here’s how my GF recorded a video of a simple beach walk and I turned the ad into a major revenue stream. I simply told the story of how embarrassed I was that it took me 4 months to hit 1,000 followers. But then my Story System helped me earn 50,000 followers in a year.

Guess what? That video alone makes me $3 for every $1 I spend.

How? I capitalized on the relatable emotion - embarrassment. Do you tell stories in your ads but still see low conversion rates? Here’s what to do instead:

Focus on the emotional pull, not just the narrative...

So how can you make money by telling stories with ads?

Well if you don't have your own product, you can write story ad scripts for other people.

Most people think great marketing is about persuasion, great offers, or the latest AI tools. But they're wrong. I’ll explain… On July 26th, 2023, I was drooling on my keyboard at 9pm, in my lucky SpongeBob pajamas (don’t judge!)...But the SpongeBob outfit isn't the crazy part. The crazy part is that this was the first sales email I’d ever sent. Here's what happened... Half-asleep, I wrote what might be the world's most unconventional sales email. In fact, it was my first sales email ever, a...

I never read LinkedIn content. But when I do, it’s to laugh at the Claude slop with selfies of people who think that’s the best way to grow a business. I just rotate my Twitter content to LinkedIn to show people that I’m alive. And use Sales Navigator for outreach. The funny part is that even with 20,000 followers, my posts yield like 100–200 impressions. Which I guess is LinkedIn’s funny way of telling me how unimportant I am. Until… I logged on to do my usual ego-enhancement exercise of...
