You won't find me on any "Comma Clubs" but I've built a 7 figure membership site, and we have thousands of members.

Here's the best methods I've tested for acquiring FLOODS of new members... Screenshot
1/ FREE TRIAL (duh)

Dan Kennedy said it best "Free trials will TRIPLE your sign up rate." There's a reason why EVERY successful SaaS company starts with a free trial. People want to see inside and give it a test run. Which brings me to my next MAJOR tip...
2/ VIDEO TOUR

Every customers fear is that when they get inside they might not like the product. Make sure on your sales page or somewhere in your marketing material you have a video tour. This is a 10-20 minute video that shows visitors everything they get inside.
3/ FREE WORKSHOP

This is how you create FLOODS of new members. Here's what you do... Post on your social or email that you are doing a free 30-90 minute workshop tonight/tomorrow for "members only" BUT you have a 7 day free trial so anyone can really jump on.
4/ 7 DAY TRIAL

I have EXTENSIVELY tested free trials and there is no conversion rate difference between 7, 14, 21, or 30 day trials. The difference is you get paid quicker with a 7 day trial. Any shorter though and it creates instant cancels from people scared they'll forget.
5/ AD SWAPS

You'll need a couple friends to pull this one off. Basically, you take turns promoting each others free trials to your audience. Often helps if you offer to go first. Who says no to "Hey mate, can I promote your product to my list - no cost for you."
6/ THE FOOTBALL PHONE

Look it up, back in the day Sports Illustrated offered a free "Football Phone" if you subscribed to their magazine. Use the same strategy by offering a free report or class or epic spreadsheet/proposal when someone joins your site.
7/ MAKING PAID TRAFFIC WORK

It's a simple math problem.

CPA > AOV

We have a $20 "bump offer" on our checkout page. It's a little checkbox that adds it to their order. Plus a $98 "One Time Offer" after checkout using 1-click buy technology so they don't have to checkout again.
8/ MORE ON PAID TRAFFIC

3 campaigns you MUST HAVE and it's ok if each is only $5/day to start.

1. Brand Search (Google ads)
2. Retargeting (FB ads + Google ads)
3. Content Distribution (Any social ads)
9/ BRAND SEARCH

These are Google search ads (#PPC) that are triggered whenever anyone searches your name or product names. This helps all of your social media because when people Google you later, there you are at the top. Yes, EVEN if you have good SEO.
10/ RETARGETING

This helps you bring traffic back to your site and squeeze more ROI out of all your other ad campaigns. Basically, whenever anyone visits any page on your site they'll see ads following them around. BONUS if those ads are testimonials!!!
11/ CONTENT DISTRIBUTION

Why wait for SEO? For $5/day you can tell the world about your blog posts. Which then triggers your retargeting ads and when they Google you, they'll see your brand search ads. It's a trinity of profit pulling power 💪
If this thread gets 10 RT's, then my next thread will all about how I get other experts to create whole classes for my membership site (often for free).

P.S. In case you're curious (or don't believe me) my membership site is AdSkills.com

Yesterday I set up an ad.

Today my ad has been seen by almost 100,000 people.

Targeted people.

People I specifically chose for it to be shown too.

All for under $100.

This is why I don’t care a lick about SEO or social media.

But…

Does it convert?

(Cont.)
With this particular skillset I have unlimited targeted traffic at my disposal.

I can turn it off and on like a light switch.

You can do this too.

Anyone can.

The trick is being able to “keep the light switch on” so to say.

Meaning…

Can you afford to keep paying for the clicks?

Aka does it convert?

Where most people go wrong here is they blame the traffic.

It’s like a store owner going outside and yelling at the billboard because his salesman cannot close a deal.

Insanity.

As former CEO of AdSkills, overseeing thousands of ad campaigns…

Traffic is rarely the problem.

So what is it?

The offer?

The landing page?

90% of the time the reason people fail at ads is a gross misunderstanding of math.

Yes copywriting helps.

A good offer really helps.

But if you understand advertising math, you can “put lipstick on a pig” as they say.

You can virtually force your offers to work.

(Cont.)
Here’s a question I asked AI about ad buying…

If my clicks cost me $3 and I buy 1,000 clicks. Then I send them to an advertorial that gets a 20% click through rate to our lead gen page. Then on the lead gen page they convert to leads at 8%. How many leads will I get and what is my cost per lead?

For the last 20yrs I used spreadsheets to figure this math out.

Today I can just ask the 🤖

The answer is 16 leads at $187.50 per lead. is great at this math.

And this is how I can know on paper - before I spend a dime - whether my ads will work or not.

I know with almost perfect certainty whether I will profit or not before running my ads.

And that gives me the confidence to push my chips all in with ads.

They still teach this skill in AdSkills, in lessons I taught myself, under what they call “AdSkills Academy.”

Used to be free. Don’t know where it is. New owner moved everything around. But it’s there.

Still we have a question…

But did it convert?

My ad was seen by 100,000 people in under 24hrs for under $100? Did it work?

Is it profitable?

After 20 years of launching offers and making millions…

Here’s how I go from research to cha-ching! 💰

A thread 🧵
Right now I’m turning a brand I’ve been sitting in “Happily Unemployed” into a paid newsletter.

Figured it might be helpful to explain my process of how I plan to enter (and win) in an already crowded space.

Where do I start?

At the END!
If everything goes as successful as I wish it to go, what does that look like?

My pastor calls this looking out 10yrs and calling it forward in 6 months.

Because with God anything is possible.

So in 10yrs I want 10mil email subscribers with 100k of them paying for the upgraded version at $99/yr.

That’s a $10mil business.

But WHO is on this newsletter?

That’s a MAJOR key…

I moved this idea from “FaithFunnels” to “HappilyUnemployed” so it could reach a broader audience.

We want to reach not just Christian families, but families in general.

What kind of families?

Families wanting to be in business.

Ok so if you are paying attention I am trying to build a paid newsletter for 10 million families wanting to start a business and convince 1% of them (100k) to upgrade to $99/yr.

Let’s get started…

10,000 plus hours of teaching marketing leads me to this simple system…

(It never fails)

🧵
But first, let’s discuss the assets you’ll need…

⁃5 Page Website
⁃Lead gen page
⁃Social profile
⁃Google Tag Manager
⁃Google Analytics
⁃Google Ads accounts
⁃FB or Twitter ad account

Now, let’s put these together into an evergreen campaign that grows as you grow.
I like to start with an analogy of a boat…

You are the captain of a boat (your business) out on the open ocean (your market) trying to attract fish (your customers).

Your website is your boat, the pages of that website are your fishing poles, and the content you create is the bait that attracts the right fish.

That is your #DigitalMarketingStrategy in a nutshell.

Let’s dive deeper into this tho…

I’ve made $1.9mil sending out this exact 5 email sequence on Black Fridays.

Details in thread… 🧵 Image
This is a 5 part email series, delivered over 7 days.

First question I get is…

Why not 7 emails? Why not email on day 3-5?

I don’t have a great answer, but this has made me millions so I just don’t change it up.

Let’s break down each email…
Email #1

This email goes out the first day of your promotion.

It’s a standard announcement email. Here’s what’s happening, here’s what you get, but the deal ends in 7 days.

Don’t over complicate this. Just tell them what the deal is and that they have 7 days to get it for xx% off.

The next email gets clever…

I said I was going to start "giving it all way for free" sooo...

Here's how I would get 4 clients paying $2,500 in the next 90 days 🧵
First thing you need is leads, kind of hard to sell 4 clients to 0 people.

Good news, if you reading this you already have everything you need. NOOO I'm not about to teach you to DM spam people 🤮
Choose a niche, literally just choose, do not over think this.

Any niche that has a magazine is fine. Magazines can only live by advertisers and advertisers live because of buyers.

Therefor... If magazine, then there is enough buyers. JUST PICK!!!! PICK!!!

After 18yrs running paid traffic, this is my "gun to the head" formula to guaranteed profit...
First, make sure you have Google Analytics 4 properly installed on your site.

It's like a condom, you don't running around out in the wild without one.

Once that's done now you're ready to start...
Start with #googleads, specifically Google search ads for your brand keywords.

For me that would be...

"Justin Brooke"
"AdSkills"
"Retargeting Recipes"

My name, my company, my book title. Names, products, and brand names only.

Next step...
