The 'holy grail' of recurring revenue (it's not what you think)
This is the real secret to predictable income in your business...
Let's cut the BS for a second.
I'm about to piss off a lot of "gurus" with this email. (Sorry, not sorry.)
If you're new to this game, you might want to sit this one out. But if you're serious about scaling your business and tired of the same old rehashed advice, keep reading.
Here's the deal: Most of you are doing content marketing completely wrong.
Yeah, I said it.
You're on this endless hamster wheel, churning out content, chasing likes, and wondering why your bank account isn't reflecting all that "hustle." We’ve talked about this before.
I'm about to drop some truth bombs in this newsletter that'll make you rethink everything you've been told about making money online.
The 3 deadly sins of content creators
Your offer sucks (Sorry, Someone Had to Say It)
Look, the market's getting smarter. That half-baked offer you threw together after watching a few YouTube videos? It's not cutting it anymore.
You're busy worrying about "engagement" and "algorithms" when the real problem is staring you in the face: Your offer is a dumpster fire.
Those 18-year-old growth gurus (or adults acting like them) have you chasing vanity metrics while your business is built on quicksand.
Your backend is non-existent
Here's a little secret: You could’ve made an extra $5K last month without lifting a finger.
How? Have a backend system that works.
Most of you are so busy trying to land the next client that you're leaving money on the table with the ones you already have.
You need a "world" for your clients, not just a one-night stand of a service.
You don't have a sales ecosystem
One-off purchases are for amateurs. You're playing checkers while the real players are playing chess.
You need an ecosystem where followers seamlessly become customers, and customers effortlessly turn into high-ticket clients.
It's not about working harder; it's about building smarter systems.
The wake-up call you didn't know you needed
Alright, now that I've probably offended half of you, let's talk solutions.
I'm going to give you the blueprint that's helped me land high-ticket clients. For free 👇️
The holy trinity of content domination
Omnipresence: Be everywhere or be nowhere
Posting once a day on Twitter isn't "content marketing." It's barely even trying.
Here's the real deal:
1 long-form piece weekly (blog/video)
5 social media posts extracted from it
1 email newsletter
3 Reels/TikToks/Shorts
1 LinkedIn article
That's 11 pieces from ONE source. Do this for a year, and you're looking at 572 touch points.
Overwhelmed? Good. That's the point. That’s strategic omnipresence.
Value ladders: The art of the perpetual upsell
Your free content is just the gateway drug. Here's how to structure your offers:
Freebie (Lead Magnet)
Tripwire ($7-$27)
Core Offer ($297-$997)
High-Ticket ($2,000+)
Set this up right, and you'll have customers begging to give you more money.
Ascension loops: The money printer
This is where the pros play. Create an ecosystem where customers naturally level up:
Low-cost membership ($29/month)
Quarterly workshops ($497)
Annual mastermind ($10,000)
Do this right, and you'll never worry about cash flow again.
The #1 launch sequence
Want to know how to launch a product that sells out fast? Here's my exact email sequence:
Day 1: Disrupt their reality
Challenge their current thinking or assumptions to grab attention.
Day 2: Paint the dream
Show them a vivid picture of what success looks like.
Day 3: Show them it's possible (case study)
Provide real-world examples that prove the dream is attainable.
Day 4: Give them the roadmap
Give them a clear, easy-to-follow path to get where they want to go.
Day 5: Bridge the gap
Address their doubts and show how they can overcome obstacles.
Day 6: Create a sense of urgency
Let them know why now is the best time to act.
Day 7: Light a fire under their ass
Create FOMO so intense they can't help but take action.
The golden rules:
Each email should deliver a punch to the gut and leave them craving more.
Use storytelling to keep them glued to every word.
Always give value, even if they don't buy.
If they haven't opened by email 3, tag them as a "cold lead" and move them to a re-engagement sequence.
For those engaging but not buying, create a "downsell" offer on Day 8.
The follow-up strategy:
Day 10: Send a "Did you miss out?" email to non-buyers. Offer a time-sensitive "last chance" opportunity.
Day 30: Re-engage cold leads with new content, not sales pitches.
Day 90: If still no engagement, purge them from your list. A clean list is a profitable list (seriously, get rid of them)!
Each email should make them feel like they're part of something bigger than themselves.
The last word
Look, I could go on, but if you haven't gotten the message by now, you're probably not ready for it.
This isn't just theory. This is the real deal, battle-tested stuff that's made me and my clients real money.
If you're ready to stop playing small and start building an empire, here's what I want you to do:
