I've spent ~10 years helping digital brands grow. I share what I know and what I'm experimenting with in this newsletter.
Quick one from my in-laws' guest bedroom (we're over visiting family, so HQ this week is a laptop balanced on a chest of drawers). And I’ll be honest it’s not exactly comfortable. Yet even with my awful sitting posture, the pain in my neck, and having to bend my wrists back at an ungodly angle to type… I could easily knock out a month of content before lunch. We’re talking ad variations, a landing page, thirty social posts, or whatever. AI doesn't care whether I’m sat at my usual desk with a...
Just shared something in the GM+ community this morning and I thought I would also share it here as it could be pretty useful for you as well. As mentioned in this, I'm looking at how to automate this at scale for myself in GM+ - if you wanna help with the buid or be in with the initial testers, you can join us here. Now, onto the post... --- Big thanks to MT for turning me onto the guy I’ll be breaking down in this post. Got me really thinking about how to improve my social marketing strats,...
So. I said "tomorrow" two days ago. Getting the last pieces of this working took longer than I thought it would. But anyway, it's live now. On Tuesday I told you the brands winning with AI, and honestly with marketing in general, are the ones with detailed info on their customers. Seriously, knowing who you're selling to makes everything 1000X easier. And, the best form of that info is zero-party data. The stuff customers tell you directly about what they're struggling with and what they...
I've been spending a lot of time inside AI builds lately. Of course, my own ones, but also helping a bunch of other business owners figure out why theirs aren't producing. From what I can see, nearly every bad result traces back to the same misunderstanding. People think AI is the solution to every answer. But really, all it is is an amplifier. Give it crap, it produces a lot of crap. Faster and more confidently than any human could manage. But if you can give it gold, it prints money and...
Yesterday I told you about the sly folk who've kept running ads to the same offer for 8-9 months while everyone else packs up shop. Today, I wanna dig into the process. Essentially, what they're selling is a complete done-for-you job. The kind of stuff that was the bread and butter of consultants and smaller agencies for years. In marketing terms, that could be... We'll write you a high-converting sales page We'll create an email sequence for you We'll craft a full Meta ad campaign These were...
I woke up to a worrying lack of notifications. This was just after the recent promo for the Automated Growth cohort I was planning to run. In the past, when running similar offers, I'd wake up mid-launch to the same three things every morning... ... Stripe notifications (the best thing to wake up to. Don't tell my wife I said that.).. A couple of booked calls from people who wanted a little last-minute reassurance... A handful of emails asking about the final things stopping them from buying...
Doors close Sunday at midnight, so today I wanna do the unsexy thing and walk you through exactly what happens if you join Automated Growth. Nobody should spend $2k on a mystery box. Here's the timeline. You join. $1,997, once with no upsells hiding behind the curtain. You get a welcome email with everything you need and an invite into the community, which is where the cohort lives. Monday the 20th, we start. This is a 30-day build. Not just a couple of course videos where you're left to your...
