The Death of Traditional SEO (And What's Next) | Want us to scale your business? Apply: https://adoutreach.com/8z5z | Subscribe to the Podcast on Spotify: http://marketingmindspodcast.com/ | Check out more of Nick here: https://perfectuslabs.com/Hey everyone! This conversation with Nick Morgan completely changed how I think about SEO and AI-powered lead generation. While many people are saying SEO is dead, Nick is seeing clients achieve 600% growth in organic traffic - and he reveals exactly why most people are failing while others are thriving.Nick is the founder of Prospectus Labs and has been doing SEO for two decades. What he shared about the fundamental shift happening in Google's algorithm is mind-blowing. We've moved from traditional keyword-based ranking to vector analysis, where Google is looking for clusters of highly specific, expert-level content rather than broad, generalist material.The counterintuitive advice Nick gives is revolutionary - he recommends removing hundreds or even thousands of pages from websites to improve rankings. This goes against everything we've been taught about SEO, but the results speak for themselves. One of his clients went from zero SEO revenue to $318,000 in just six months using these new strategies.We dive deep into the technical aspects of AI SEO, including schema markup, natural language processing, and semantic indexing. Nick explains how AI bots are now crawling websites differently and what you need to do to optimize for both Google and AI language models like ChatGPT and Claude.But the LinkedIn AI outreach strategy might be even more impressive. Nick's system achieves 34% response rates on cold outreach by using AI to research each prospect individually, analyzing their content, educational background, and communication style to create hyper-personalized messages. Compare that to the industry standard of 1-2% response rates.The AI researches podcasts, blog posts, social media activity, and more to craft messages that feel genuinely personal rather than templated. It can even follow up with prospects through multiple touchpoints until they book a call, handling objections and maintaining conversations at a level no human could match at scale.Nick's prediction that businesses not fully integrating AI within five years won't survive is bold but backed by the results he's seeing. This isn't about using ChatGPT for basic tasks - it's about deep integration into core business systems.#AISEO #LinkedInOutreach #SEOStrategy #AIMarketing #LeadGeneration #DigitalMarketing #SEOTips #AITools #ContentMarketing #GoogleRankingsAleric Heck helps Entrepreneurs & Business Owners use YouTube and Value-Drive Video to generate Leads & Sales through his Company AdOutreach.

How This Entrepreneur Built 176 Brands in 9 Months (His Formula Revealed) | Want us to scale your business? Apply: https://adoutreach.com/8z5z | Subscribe to the Podcast on Spotify: http://marketingmindspodcast.com/ | Check out more of Tyler here: https://bernmedia.co/This conversation with Tyler Jorgenson completely blew my mind, and I had to start with the most insane statistic - he built 176 brands from scratch in just nine months. That's nearly two brands per day, from ideation to full launch. But what's even more valuable is what he learned from that experience and how it applies to anyone building a business today.Tyler is the founder of Burn Media and host of Biz Ninja Entrepreneur Radio, which has been featured on ABC Radio. With over 500 episodes under his belt and 15 years of interviewing entrepreneurs, he's got insights that most people never get to hear. What I love about his approach is how he breaks down the entrepreneurial journey into systematic, repeatable processes.In this episode, we dive deep into his formula for launching businesses quickly, including his market-first validation strategy that can save you months of wasted effort. Tyler shares his two-step order form method for testing product demand before you even have the product - it's brilliant and something I've never heard explained so clearly before.We also get into the behind-the-scenes story of how his podcast went from a personal networking tool after the 2008 market crash to being featured on ABC Radio. His journey from interviewing entrepreneur idols like Tim Ferriss and Neil Patel to building a full-service podcast production company is fascinating and gives a blueprint for anyone thinking about starting their own show.Tyler's insights from interviewing over 500 entrepreneurs reveal some surprising patterns about what actually makes people successful. His perspective on trust, moving fast, and the "delulu" mindset that successful entrepreneurs share is eye-opening. Plus, he gives me some brutally honest feedback about my own podcast setup that's going to help me level up the production quality.We cover everything from AI implementation strategies to the emotional cost of delayed decisions. Tyler's framework for using AI to buy back time rather than replace creativity is something every business owner needs to hear.

How This Coach Uses AI to Create Personalized Lead Magnets | Want us to scale your business? Apply: https://adoutreach.com/8z5z | Subscribe to the Podcast on Spotify: http://marketingmindspodcast.com/ | Check out more of Andrew here: https://www.instagram.com/kaptainkroeze/Hey everyone! This conversation with Andrew Kroeze from Peace and Profits completely blew my mind, especially when he showed me how he's using Airtable's new AI agents to create dynamic lead magnets. If you've ever struggled with generic lead magnets that don't convert, this episode is going to change everything for you.Andrew just launched a dynamic lead magnet that personalizes responses based on seven questions prospects answer, and the results speak for themselves - 112 opt-ins and 42 booked calls from one campaign. What makes this so powerful is that instead of sending everyone the same PDF, the AI creates a customized response specifically for their business situation and goals.But this conversation goes way beyond just AI tools. Andrew is one of the rare coaches who actually sold his coaching business for a significant exit, and he breaks down exactly how he structured it to be sellable. His "maximization model" with low-ticket, mid-ticket, and high-ticket offers, plus removing himself from the value chain, made his business incredibly attractive to buyers.What really struck me was Andrew's journey after the sale. He spent a year traveling to monasteries, ashrams, and learning from monks and yogis, which led to his current mission of helping entrepreneurs find peace alongside profits. His framework around the four productivity chemicals - dopamine, serotonin, endorphins, and oxytocin - is fascinating and practical for anyone dealing with burnout or anxiety.We also dive deep into his School community strategies, where he's getting 12 organic leads per day from the discovery section. His approach to DM conversations using the passion-intimacy-commitment framework is pure gold for anyone doing outreach.Andrew shares his top AI tools including Claude for content, Airtable AI agents for automation, and two voice-to-text tools I'd never heard of before. Plus his simple phone optimization hack that helps you live more proactively instead of reactively.Check out his Peace and Profits community on School and follow him at @kaptainkroeze on Instagram.#AirtableAI #DynamicLeadMagnets #CoachingBusiness #AITools #SchoolCommunity #BusinessExit #PeaceAndProfits #AIAutomation #EntrepreneurMindset #businessstrategy Aleric Heck helps Entrepreneurs & Business Owners use YouTube and Value-Drive Video to generate Leads & Sales through his Company AdOutreach.

How to Create Quantum Virtual Assistants with AI | Want us to scale your business? Apply: https://adoutreach.com/8z5z | Subscribe to the Podcast on Spotify: http://marketingmindspodcast.com/ | Check out more of Michael here: https://mypolaris.io/Hey everyone! This conversation with Michael Yeung from Polaris completely shifted my perspective on virtual assistants and AI integration. If you've ever hired a VA and been disappointed with the results, this episode will explain exactly why that happened and how to fix it going forward.Here's the shocking statistic Michael shared that blew my mind: 70% of VA hires don't make it past their first 90 days. That's not because VAs are bad - it's because most business owners don't understand the gap between hiring someone and actually creating leverage from that hire. Michael has cracked the code on this with his unique approach of combining people, process, and systems.Michael's thesis is brilliant: "While AI will not replace VAs, VAs who use AI will replace VAs who do not." Instead of choosing between AI or human assistance, he's created a framework where VAs are trained to use cutting-edge AI tools to become what he calls "quantum assistants." These aren't your typical VAs - they're trained in six core traits including AI knowledge, SOP creation, critical thinking, and problem-solving.What makes this so powerful is how Michael uses AI tools like Notebook LM, Perplexity, and Delphi to create systems where VAs can actually train themselves. Instead of you having to write SOPs for everything, the VA can use AI to research and create standard operating procedures, then you just review and refine them. It's the 10-80-10 rule from Dan Martell taken to the next level.Michael breaks down two main VA roles: executive/operations assistants for buying back time, and full-stack marketers for creating speed. He shares his entire AI tool stack and explains how tools like Submagic for video editing and Claude for writing are transforming what VAs can accomplish.The selection process is intense - Michael's company has a 0.63% acceptance rate with multiple rounds of testing and interviews. But that's what ensures the VAs who make it through can actually deliver results instead of becoming another micromanagement headache.This isn't just theory - Michael is implementing this with real clients and getting real results.

The Google Ad Grant Program Every Nonprofit Should Know About | Want us to scale your business? Apply: https://adoutreach.com/8z5z | Subscribe to the Podcast on Spotify: http://marketingmindspodcast.com/ | Check out more of Grant here: https://nonprofitmegaphone.com/Hey everyone! This episode is going to be a game-changer for anyone running a nonprofit organization or anyone who knows someone who is. I'm talking with Grant Hensel from Nonprofit Megaphone about Google Ad Grants - and yes, his name is literally Grant and he's the expert on grants, which is pretty amazing.Here's what most people don't know: Google gives qualified 501c3 nonprofits $10,000 per month in FREE advertising on Google Search. That's $120,000 per year, and there's no time limit on this program. If you had signed up 10 years ago, you would have received over $1.2 million in free advertising by now.The crazy part? Virtually 100% of legitimate nonprofits get approved for this program, yet most people have never heard of it. And here's the kicker - the average nonprofit only uses about $800 of their $10,000 monthly allowance because they don't know how to use it effectively. Grant's clients average over $8,500 per month because he's figured out the system.Grant breaks down exactly how Google Ad Grants work, including the two-auction system that ensures nonprofits don't compete directly with paid advertisers. We dive deep into the application process, common mistakes people make, and the specific strategies that actually work for different types of organizations - from animal shelters to museums to advocacy groups.This isn't just about traditional charities either. The program covers a huge range of 501c3 organizations including performing arts venues, environmental groups, religious organizations, educational nonprofits, and community organizations. Grant shares real case studies and results he's seen across his 800+ clients.We also cover the technical aspects like conversion tracking, keyword strategy, and why sending people to your homepage will get your ads rejected. Plus Grant reveals some insider knowledge about potential future expansions of the program.#GoogleAdGrants #Nonprofit #FreeAdvertising #GoogleAds #Charity #NonprofitMarketing #DigitalMarketing #501c3 #GoogleForNonprofits #FreeMarketingAleric Heck helps Entrepreneurs & Business Owners use YouTube and Value-Drive Video to generate Leads & Sales through his Company AdOutreach.

The Shocking Ad Creative Trends That Are Dominating 2025 | Want us to scale your business? Apply: https://adoutreach.com/8z5z | Subscribe to the Podcast on Spotify: http://marketingmindspodcast.com/ | Check out more of Jeff here: https://www.nlc.comHey everyone! In this episode, I'm diving deep with Jeff Minnichbach, the founder and CEO of No Limit Creatives, who has created over 1.5 million ad creatives and built a team of 250 designers. If you've been struggling with ad creative performance or wondering what's actually working in 2025, this conversation is going to blow your mind.Jeff's journey is incredible - I remember when he was just a freelancer in Facebook groups eight years ago, and now he's running a multi-million dollar design agency that literally broke Asana's servers because they had too many projects running through the platform. They had to build their own custom project management software because no existing solution could handle their volume.What's fascinating is how dramatically ad creatives have changed. The polished, professional ads with layers and shadows that worked five years ago are being beaten by wild, abstract, meme-style visuals that look almost unprofessional. Jeff shares some shocking examples of ads that are performing incredibly well for his own business - including monkey comparison ads and abstract pattern backgrounds that he never thought would work.We get tactical about what's working right now: shorter headlines, minimal text, UGC-style content mixed with motion graphics, and videos that are 5-15 seconds instead of the 30-60 second norm from years past. Jeff also reveals his testing methodology - why 3-5 creatives perform better than testing 50 at once, and how to properly iterate on winning ads.The remote team management insights alone are worth the watch. Managing 250 designers across multiple time zones using a pod structure with design leads and directors is no small feat. Jeff breaks down exactly how they maintain quality control and communication using Slack, Zoom, and their custom platform.We also dive into AI's impact on the design industry. While tools like ChatGPT's new image generation are impressive, Jeff explains why you still need a design eye behind the AI and how they're using it for administrative tasks rather than replacing designers entirely.Check out No Limit Creatives at nlc.com if you need any design work done - I've been working with Jeff's team for eight years and highly recommend them.#AdCreatives #GraphicDesign #FacebookAds #RemoteTeam #BusinessGrowth #DigitalMarketing #DesignAgency #Entrepreneurship #AdTesting #marketingstrategy Aleric Heck helps Entrepreneurs & Business Owners use YouTube and Value-Drive Video to generate Leads & Sales through his Company AdOutreach.

How AI is Killing Scale-Based Businesses | Want us to scale your business? Apply: https://adoutreach.com/8z5z | Subscribe to the Podcast on Spotify: http://marketingmindspodcast.com/ | Check out more of Kasim here: https://kasim.me/Hey everyone! This conversation with Kasim Aslam completely shifted my perspective on AI, entrepreneurship, and the future of business. Kasim has built six different multimillion-dollar businesses with two successful exits, and what he shares in this episode is going to challenge everything you think you know about education, implementation, and scaling.The biggest bombshell Kasim drops is that education is no longer the most important thing for entrepreneurs. We've been told to consume, learn, and absorb as much information as possible, but AI has completely flipped this on its head. When trillion-dollar supercomputers have access to all the same information, the real competitive advantage becomes implementation and execution. Kasim's advice? Cut your learning time in half and spend that time actually doing something with what you've learned.We dive deep into his journey from building the number one Google Ads agency in the world to selling it right before AI made his entire business model obsolete. His timing was incredible, but what's even more fascinating is how he pivoted to focus on the one thing AI can't replicate - human connection and talent.Kasim breaks down his systematic approach to global talent acquisition through Pareto Talent, explaining why he believes small businesses will dominate the AI revolution. His insights on incentive alignment are game-changing - he shows how to structure your team so they actually want to implement AI tools instead of fearing them.The conversation gets really tactical when we discuss AI implementation strategies. Instead of focusing on specific tools that change constantly, Kasim teaches a way of thinking about data capture, process design, and system architecture that will serve you regardless of which AI tools emerge. His approach to relational databases and "if this, then that" thinking is brilliant.We also explore the future of marketing and why the generalist agency model is dying. Kasim predicts we'll see billion-dollar businesses with just 2-4 employees, and explains why scale might actually be working against you in the AI age. His perspective on focusing on things that don't scale is counterintuitive but makes perfect sense. #AI #Entrepreneurship #BusinessStrategy #GlobalTalent #Marketing #Automation #BusinessGrowth #Implementation #SmallBusiness #InnovationAleric Heck helps Entrepreneurs & Business Owners use YouTube and Value-Drive Video to generate Leads & Sales through his Company AdOutreach.

Apply: https://adoutreach.com/8z5z | Subscribe to the Podcast on Spotify: http://marketingmindspodcast.com/ | Check out Charles's work here:  https://charlesbyrd.comHey everyone! I'm beyond excited to share this conversation with Charles Byrd, and I had to start with the fact that he literally told me a billionaire is wiring him money today. That's the power of systematic joint ventures, and Charles is about to break down exactly how he makes this happen consistently.Charles comes from a Silicon Valley background and has applied that systems thinking to the world of joint ventures and partnerships. What I love about his approach is that it's not just about one-off deals - he's created a repeatable system that generates 12 to 20 referrals per week to million-dollar-plus businesses. Let me say that again - 12 to 20 referrals every single week.In this episode, we dive deep into Charles's Pure JV system, including his four main types of joint venture partnerships. Whether you're looking at presenting to other people's groups, setting up referral partnerships, doing broader promotions like webinars, or leveraging social JVs like podcast interviews, Charles breaks down exactly when and how to use each strategy.One of my favorite parts of this conversation is when Charles shares his systematic approach to networking at events. He's got this brilliant method he calls the "bird bump" where he uses technology to capture contacts, takes screenshots, sends immediate follow-up texts, and even takes selfies to remember conversations. It sounds simple, but the results speak for themselves.We also get into something called referral parties, which is probably one of the most actionable strategies you'll hear today. This is a way to systematically get connected to your ideal partners and clients by leveraging your existing network. Charles literally gets dozens of high-quality referrals every week using this method.What makes Charles different is that he leads with value first. Instead of asking what people can do for him, he's constantly making connections and introductions for others. This approach has led to incredible opportunities, including working with billion-dollar companies and landing that billionaire client he mentioned.We cover commission structures, how to approach different types of partnerships based on your product and audience size, and even how Charles is leveraging AI to streamline his processes. If you've been struggling with consistent lead generation or want to diversify beyond paid advertising, this episode is going to give you a complete roadmap.#JointVentures #Partnerships #BusinessGrowth #Networking #Referrals #BusinessStrategy #Marketing #Entrepreneurship #BusinessDevelopment #leadgeneration Aleric Heck helps Entrepreneurs & Business Owners use YouTube and Value-Drive Video to generate Leads & Sales through his Company AdOutreach.

Apply: https://adoutreach.com/8z5z | Subscribe to the Podcast on Spotify: http://marketingmindspodcast.com/ | Check out Jordan's free email course here: https://growthcommunity.co/blueprintHey everyone! In this episode, I sat down with Jordan Godbey, the community creation expert behind some of the most profitable online communities for creators like Ali Abdaal, Justin Welsh, and David Gerhardt. If you've been thinking about starting your own paid community but don't know where to begin, this conversation is going to change everything for you.Jordan breaks down the biggest mistake people make with communities - thinking the community itself is the offer. Spoiler alert: it's not! The community is actually the vehicle to deliver your transformation, and there are four distinct types of community models you can choose from. We dive deep into each one, from low-ticket peer communities to high-ticket transformational programs, so you can pick the right model for your audience size and goals.What really blew my mind was Jordan's approach to pricing and billing frequency. Instead of the typical monthly subscription model that leads to constant churn, he explains why annual billing and higher ticket prices can actually make your community more successful and profitable. We also get into the nitty-gritty of onboarding new members, reducing churn, and creating that crucial first moment of value that keeps people engaged.For those of you using or considering Circle as your community platform, Jordan shares some advanced automation strategies and workflows that most people never discover. Plus, we discuss how AI is going to impact the community space and why human connection will become even more valuable as AI handles the information side of things.Whether you're a YouTuber with a large following looking to monetize through community, or you're just starting out and want to build a high-value transformational program, this episode gives you the roadmap. Jordan's insights on moving from one-on-one work to scalable community models are particularly valuable for coaches and consultants.#OnlineCommunities #CommunityBuilding #DigitalMarketing #OnlineBusiness #CreatorEconomy #CommunityPlatforms #PaidCommunities #Circle #Entrepreneurship #businessstrategy Aleric Heck helps Entrepreneurs & Business Owners use YouTube and Value-Drive Video to generate Leads & Sales through his Company AdOutreach.

In this episode of Marketing Minds, I sit down with Derek Tsuboi, managing partner at Rediscover Digital and multi-time Two Comma Club Award winner. Derek shares the exact strategies he used to generate over $1 million in sales from a FREE book funnel - yes, you heard that right, a million dollars from giving away free books!We dive deep into the mechanics of low ticket offers and how they can actually fund your entire ad spend while generating high-quality leads. Derek breaks down his exact funnel structure, including the 35% upsell conversion rate that made this campaign so successful. He reveals why the audiobook upsell at $9.95 was a game-changer and how segmenting buyers into "high quality" and "low quality" buckets based on their purchase behavior led to better backend conversions.One of the biggest insights Derek shares is about ascension - how to move people from low ticket buyers to high ticket clients. His controversial take? Don't wait for people to read your book or complete your course before making your core offer. Most people won't, and if your business model depends on that, you're setting yourself up for failure.We also cover his Facebook Live ad strategy that was getting 3x the reach of regular ads, the specific AI tools he's using for ad copy (spoiler: ChatGPT connected to Google Drive is his winner), and why testing only 10-20% of your budget is the sweet spot for scaling campaigns.Whether you're running paid ads, considering low ticket funnels, or looking to improve your backend conversions, this episode is packed with actionable strategies you can implement immediately.#MarketingMinds #LowTicketFunnels #DigitalMarketing #FacebookAds #SalesFunnels #MarketingStrategy #OnlineMarketing #LeadGeneration #MarketingTips #BusinessGrowthAleric Heck helps Entrepreneurs & Business Owners use YouTube and Value-Drive Video to generate Leads & Sales through his Company AdOutreach.

Gabe drops some serious truth bombs right off the bat - did you know that 90% of all marketing fails? But here's the thing - the best marketers know this and design their systems around it.We dive deep into Gabe's customer-centric marketing framework, starting with his unique approach to market research. He shares exactly how to survey your paying customers (not just any customers - the ones who've actually given you money) to uncover the exact language and psychology that drives conversions. We talk about asking open-ended questions like "What was your most significant accomplishment last year?" to really understand what motivates your audience.Gabe also reveals some unexpected marketing channels that are crushing it right now. We discuss direct mail strategies that are getting 15-25X ROAS because mailboxes are empty these days, and radio advertising techniques including how to negotiate rates and why 5-second spots often outperform 60-second ones. Plus, he breaks down his "Prism Effect" concept for bringing genuine human connection into your marketing.One of my favorite parts is when Gabe shares his million-dollar education story - how he built a construction business to over $1M in revenue but only made $65,000 because he didn't understand profitability. That bankruptcy taught him lessons that transformed his entire approach to business.Whether you're interested in AI applications for marketing, building scalable systems, or just want to understand why kindness and confrontation can coexist in great marketing, this episode is packed with actionable insights from someone who's been in the trenches and come out successful.#MarketingStrategy #BusinessGrowth #MarketingMindsPodcast #DigitalMarketing #DirectMail #RadioAdvertising #MarketResearch #ContentMarketing #MarketingTips #EntrepreneurMindsetAleric Heck helps Entrepreneurs & Business Owners use YouTube and Value-Drive Video to generate Leads & Sales through his Company AdOutreach.

When most coaches are paying $150-$300 per booked call, Jared's results are absolutely game-changing.Jared's story is one of resilience and transformation. After building an indoor digital billboard network for eight years that was about to be sold, COVID hit and everything changed overnight. He lost his business in 60 days through circumstances completely outside his control. But instead of giving up, he pivoted to helping local businesses with Google Business Profile optimization and sales funnels - and that's when everything changed.Within just two weeks of implementing our YouTube ad system, Jared made his investment back. In six weeks, he tripled his revenue. In eight months, he hit a quarter million in sales. Today, he's helped over 1700 local businesses and has built a multi-million dollar company that allowed him to retire his wife from teaching and travel the country with his four kids for two years.What makes this conversation so valuable is Jared's transparency about working with Ad Outreach from the inside. He shares exactly what that experience looks like - from the initial strategy sessions to working with our copywriters, ad strategists, and attending our office events. You'll hear how we helped him break through multiple revenue barriers and solve the problems that come with each new level of success.But the real gold in this episode is Jared's new survey funnel strategy that's delivering those incredible $35-$50 book call costs. He breaks down his micro-commitment psychology approach, mobile-first funnel design, and how he's using AI-powered text follow-up to convert over 60% of his booked calls. He also shares his top strategies for local businesses, including his three-point offer framework that transforms boring "free estimate" offers into compelling value propositions.If you're struggling with high cost per lead, want to see what working with a top-tier marketing agency actually looks like, or need strategies for local business marketing, this episode is packed with actionable insights you can implement immediately.#YouTubeAds #BookCalls #LocalMarketing #SurveyFunnels #GoogleBusinessProfile #MarketingStrategy #AdOutreach #VideoMarketing #LeadGeneration #BusinessGrowthAleric Heck helps Entrepreneurs & Business Owners use YouTube and Value-Drive Video to generate Leads & Sales through his Company AdOutreach.

Joe opens the conversation with two jaw-dropping marketing statistics that immediately caught my attention: 40% of content actually pushes prospects away, and responding to leads within 5 minutes makes them 400% more likely to convert.Joe is currently the founder and CEO of Daily AI, a revolutionary newsletter platform that leverages AI to achieve 40-60% open rates – something that sounds almost impossible in today's crowded inbox environment. What's fascinating is that over 81% of their customers consistently see open rates above 40%. How? By using what Joe calls "iterative intelligence" – a machine learning system that studies individual subscriber behavior to personalize content based on what they actually click on, not just what they say they want.Throughout our conversation, Joe shares his vision for the future of marketing: moving from one-to-many to truly one-to-one personalization. He explains that while most AI marketing tools simply wrap generative AI around existing processes, the real magic happens when you leverage data and individual behavior patterns to deliver exactly what each person wants.We also dive into Joe's business-building methodology from his experience scaling multiple companies to successful exits. He shares invaluable insights on how to build businesses with incredible multiples, the pros and cons of raising investor capital versus bootstrapping, and his framework for choosing the right markets (look for deep pain, deep pockets, high accessibility, and growth).In the second half of the episode, Joe reveals his favorite AI tools that he personally uses every day, including his specific strategies for using them to save time and make better decisions. From Claude for copywriting to Napkin.ai for creating visual frameworks in seconds, these are practical tools any business owner can implement immediately.Whether you're looking to improve your email marketing results, build a more valuable business, or simply understand how AI is transforming marketing, this conversation is packed with actionable insights from someone who's been at the forefront of both technology and marketing for decades.#AIMarketing #EmailMarketing #MarketingAutomation #BusinessGrowth #EntrepreneurMindset #PersonalizedMarketing #AITools #StartupSuccess #TechEntrepreneur #ConversionTipsAleric Heck helps Entrepreneurs & Business Owners use YouTube and Value-Drive Video to generate Leads & Sales through his Company AdOutreach.

Former TV Producer Reveals How She Gets 30-40X ROI on Facebook Ads | Want us to scale your business? Apply: https://adoutreach.com/8z5z | Subscribe to the Podcast on Spotify: http://marketingmindspodcast.com/ | Check out more of Laurel here: https://www.adcoachingfor7.com/In this episode of Marketing Minds, I sit down with advertising strategist Laurel Portie who shares how she generated over $4 million in sales with just $150,000 in ad spend over the past seven years. Her approach is refreshingly different from what most marketing experts teach.Laurel opens up about her "$5 video ads" strategy that targets the 97-98% of people who aren't ready to buy right now but are your ideal clients. While most marketers focus only on the 2-3% who are ready to purchase immediately, Laurel has built what she calls a "conveyor belt" that nurtures potential customers until they're ready to buy.What I love about Laurel's approach is how she prioritizes real human connection. Instead of automating everything, she creates value-driven content that solves specific problems, then uses messenger conversations to build relationships. She's generated as many as 200 triage calls from just $6 in ad spend by using this strategy correctly!Laurel also shares her unique perspective shaped by her background in television, where she worked from 2002 until 2018. She reveals how she accidentally discovered her business when a marketing expert at an event pointed out that her Facebook ad skills (which she'd been using to launch TV shows since 2008) could be monetized as a service.You'll learn exactly how Laurel's "ads ecosystem" works, including:How to create $5 video ads that build your invisible audienceHer "conversion multiplier" strategy that intercepts people at different points in your funnelWhy boosted posts aren't dead (when used correctly)How to structure your messaging to overcome objectionsHer 90-days-to-data approach that helps identify exactly what to fix in your marketingPerhaps most refreshing is Laurel's commitment to her core values. Despite her success, she deliberately keeps her ad spend low and her program capped at around 4,000 members so she can deliver personalized coaching without sacrificing quality or hiring employees.Whether you're just starting with ads or looking to optimize your current strategy, Laurel's proven approach shows that you don't need massive budgets to create massively profitable campaigns.#FacebookAds #LowBudgetMarketing #AdStrategy #VideoMarketing #MessengerMarketing #MarketingTips #ConversionRate #DigitalMarketing #SmallBusinessMarketing #SocialMediaAdsAleric Heck helps Entrepreneurs & Business Owners use YouTube and Value-Drive Video to generate Leads & Sales through his Company AdOutreach.
