Become a support act

Published 20 days ago • 1 min read

Yo!

Ever been to a concert?

I saw this crazy take online the other day about paying out to see a band.

The poster said they hate support acts.

Their argument was that they’ve paid to see the main band and don’t care about the support acts.

They were, rightly, flamed in the comments for this BS take.

You see, concerts aren’t just where the main musicians earn their money.

They’re also the path for newer bands to amass a following and a vital part of the wider music ecosystem.

It’s a simple system. And fi you know how it works, you can build this into your business to grow your own audience.

Here’s what I mean.

I accompanied my wife to a performance of one of her favourite bands recently.

She’d never heard of one of the support acts, but by the time their set had finished, she was following them on Spotify and streaming them the very next morning.

A single piece of exposure to a relevant audience helped this band get at least one (and likely hundreds or thousands) of new listeners and customers.

All without playing the exhausting social media game.

You can do the same thing to grow your audience with your business. People have been doing it for years through things like…

  • Joint venture partnerships
  • Guest blogging
  • Sponsorships

These are all a direct route to your ideal customers you can use to grow your audience without posting seventy-billion times per day.

You just need to know who to be the supporting act for, and how to lock it in.

This is one of the many ways you can grow a better audience without using social media.

Thursday the 25th, Adriana Tica is gonna run us through a couple more simple methods you can use to grow your audience without social.

So, if you want to add qualified buyers to your list in 2024, but you’re not sure on the best ways to be a “supporting act” right now, tune in on Thursday 25th.

All details are here

Speak soon,

Pete “Supporting Act” Boyle

"I'm finding it's not working as well anymore... it's easier, but the results are pretty bad." This is what a FB ad specialist said to me the other day on a consulting call. What were we talking about? Free lead magnets. And this isn't the only person who's said this to me in the last few weeks. A coaching student was running ads to a free ebook. They managed to get a tonne of leads, but couldn't sell them their new product. With each week my belief in offering freebies for lead gen dies off...

Had someone reach out after yesterday's email about the idea of using FE offers to attract leads at cost (or slight profit) and build a list of buyers. They said... "Hey Pete, I'm not sure I get it. The image has you making sales at $30ish, and you said the average value of a customer is $49. How does that work with your $1 offers?" A couple of things to note here. 1, the $1 product pricing is to help validate the idea. Once you've sold some and can prove people will pay, it's about figuring...

What's the fastest way to grow your email list? I've seen growth with everything from creating content to doing partnerships with people. But let's face it. These are not the fastest way to grow. Content takes a while to spin up and to get good results. Partnerships are hit or miss. The best way to grow your list consistently? Buy subscribers. Simple as that. Here's the thing. Buying leads is a big risk. Especially if you're working on a tight budget. A lot of people use ads to drive traffic...
