How to make money with stories (Part 3)...


Everyone and their grandma knows that going viral is the HOLY GRAIL...

...of cost effective marketing...

But screw it up...

...And you'll be the laughing stock of the internet faster than you can say...

"CANCELLED"

Let me explain...

Imagine getting 170,000 eyes on your ad or post in 24 hours?

Sounds like a wet dream right?

More leads than you can handle...

...Sales calls out the WAZOO.

And enough cash to make it rain on a Tuesday (whatever the eff that means)...

...Here's why I bring this up.

That's the power of the virality. It's like throwing chum in a shark tank...

...You'll get attention alright. But you better know what the h3ll you're doing.

How?

No need to sweat it. I've got you covered.

Here's the results my client's call to action got last month:

So how do you make something go viral?

Simple but not easy.

Most people chase virality like the last slice of pizza at 3am. And build a castle out of quicksand.

Spoiler alert:

Those thousands of likes won't mean anything if they're not buying your stuff.

The fix?

Sweet emotions baby. You gotta hit em' right in the feels.

You have to create content that people will share with their friends. And what type of content is that?

Content that makes people feel emotions.

The best way to make people feel emotions??

Stories.

But not just any stories. Stories that make people want to spill their guts to their besties.

And that's what brings us to Part 3 of the how to make money with stories series...

Let's say you're a fitness coach. The last place you're going to land high paying clients is a gym. Surprise? No. You have to use the ability to mass communicate on the internet.

Think about it. You can open a gym. And wait for foot traffic to come and find you. Spends tons of money on rent and advertising.

Or...

You can go viral and have people begging to pay you in the DMs? You tell me which is more effective.

But learning how to create viral content takes time. So most biz owners rather pay someone to make them go viral instead.

Ya feel me?

People with money would rather pay someone to do the work for them. And that's how you get paid to write viral stories.

So now that I've laid down the pancakes on the power of social media storytelling...

...How do you get started?

Better yet how do you get people to pay you to write viral stories online?

The easiest way to learn viral content creation is by studying what works. Here’s how you can dissect successful stories to make a bulletproof strategy
​
1.) Study what works
2.) Find the big players in your field
3.) See their most viral content.
4.) Save the viral content in a notion file or google doc.
5.) Hand write the content for 30 mins a day.
6.) See the frameworks and psychology behind the viral content.
7.) Create your own viral content (do this for yourself before you sell services)
8.) When your content goes viral create a CTA promoting your services
9.) Reach out to people and ask to write for them. In exchange for a testimonial.
10.) Create a simple webpage to host your portfolio and testimonials.
11.) Leverage word of mouth from past clients.
12.) Reach out to people via DMs or cold email.
13.) Use the viral swipe file you've built to create viral content for clients.

But all the above takes A LOT of work. And you'll have to make some costly mistakes on the way.

...Or

Take a $1 trial in 'The Society of Storytellers'...

...and you'll learn the secrets to writing viral stories that are not only shared but CONVERT.

Doors open Sunday July 28th.

Catch ya soon,

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...
