Jack Bies Notes:
1. Who am I trying to help?
2. Use new features.
3. Teach one lesson per post.
4. Think long game, not get rich quick.
5. Focus and post about one subject.
6. Imagine someone that you’re speaking to and try to help them.
7. Make content other people find helpful.
8. Be consistent in your branding.
9. Make work your audience would share.
10. AIDA. Grab ATTENTION, Build INTEREST, DELIVER the goods, call to ACTION.
11. ROT. Promise a RESULT that people are looking for, identify an OBJECTION they might have, tell how much TIME it will take.
12. Give a good takeaway that isn’t 100% obvious.
13. Learn hashtags.
14. Write a guest post.
15. Consider shout outs.

Damn! Ask me the question "What is the best YT channel on this platform?". My answer: " The Futur". I mean, I'm the guy who is just hustling 24 * 7, no matter the bad times and bad people. So, I value my time so much that I just used to watch like one video per week just because whatever was on that platform wasn't as important as my time. But, I should say this, I found your channel in 2020 and its the only channel that always wins the argument "My Time vs YT". I respect and love your channel Chris. The Futur - A channel more important than my time. Means a lot.

Hey Chris, is the only thing valuable at the moment on IG education and teaching, I have seen a lot of other videos where you say to use social media to share your story as that’s your brand. What if you’re not in a position to teach but want to create a social media presence. Is this still a relevant way to grow?

@dojoquintana 3 жыл бұрын

@aspected 3 жыл бұрын

The first one has been answered in a few previous videos. I searched "futur talk money with clients" to find them, but you can just click the link that I've put below! The term "price-shopping" seems to mean when consumers go around different shops looking for the best price, therefore giving each shop some temporary attention, rather than hanging around long-term. The same thing can be applied to marketing - where consumers will hop from account-to-account looking for the best or most informative content, but they will quickly abandon accounts which don't offer as much information as others. Hope this helped! kzfaq.info?search_query=futur+talk+money+with+clients
