"GivE AwAY FrEe VAlUe"...


Stop giving your secrets away for free.

You've worked hard to devise those secrets and you're cheating yourself if you're just putting it out there without asking for anything back.

Yeah yeah, I know that some marketing "leader" who works for one of the biggest brands out there has told you this is the way.

And I know you've seen the engagement that post gets so you think it's trustworthy.

Here's the thing.

Most of the time, the common advice is created by people who either...

  1. Have a salary and so don't need to worry about making immediate revenue
  2. Work in a business that has funding or existing large revenue so they can play the "6 months to nurture a lead" game
  3. Haven't done the work and are just repeating what they've seen the big accounts say

I'm greedy and needy.

I need to see daily sales happening in the biz or I start questioning what I'm doing.

And there's only one way to make sure that everything you create is pushing people towards those sales.

Don't tell people how to do the thing, provide proof you can do the thing.

Give people proof you know your shiz, to build excitement. Then tell them how they can do it within the paid offer.

It might seem villainous, but honestly it's the best way to get sales with people who will actually use what you give them.

When you're handing shiz out for free, people won't use it.

There's no perceived value there.

But... talk about what this thing does for them. Show them the results and talk about the transformation it provides and they get excited.

When you get people excited you see 2 things happen.

  1. More people will buy
  2. More of those people will engage with the thing

How do you do this?

One of the reasons I build growth models around the ACCER system is because it helps you break down what should be said at each stage.

Too many people are giving out the full system and secret at the attract stage in a fruitless effort to attract people by showing value.

What the attract stage should be doing is talking about a problem and explaining that something you're doing can remove it.

That gets the click to the capture/convert stage which is where you show proof that the system you use can get the result the person wants.

And so on.

Each stage of ACCER has one job, to get people to the next stage.

Building these models makes it easy to filter down to the right message to deliver and so increase the CTR and excitement of your customers.

I've seen it work.

It's why I'm making $8 for every $5 I spend on ads on the front end alone.

It's why one person I'm helping is making $200 / day on autopilot.

It's why another is doing simple product launches to list segments and clearing $10k+.

And why another is attracting people with low-ticket items and selling them on higher ticket $20k+ packages.

If you're fed up of offering free information and getting nothing back for it, check out the offers below.

They'll help you understand how to actually make money from your list based on the system that's working for hundreds of others.

Yesterday I mentioned "The Thread." That invisible line connecting your first ad or cold outreach to the moment a client signs a contract for the big thing. And when you're getting fewer sales for the "big thing", most founders think the solution is to simply add "more." More leads. More SDRs. More ad spend. But if your "Thread" is broken, "More" is just an expensive way to realise your system is leaking. I mean, if you've got a bucket with no bottom, throwing more water in the top isn't...

I’m starting the outreach for a new business venture today. Most people at this stage do the 'tactical' thing... They buy a list Hire a virtual assistant to spam LinkedIn asking for a call or promoting the offer And hope for a 1% reply rate. A huge waste of capital and time. With the new venture, I've spent the last week building out the architecture behind the offer. I’ve been mapping the 'Thread' that connects the first touchpoint to the final contract. Most businesses, even those doing...

I’m curious... What AI are you actually using? Or are you just "collecting" subscriptions? We’ve been debating this in GM+ lately because, frankly, the shine has worn off OpenAI for me. To give you some context, I’ve been an OpenAI power user since the start. But the 5.2 release? It’s woeful. I spend more time arguing with the "Custom GPTs" than I do getting actual work done. I guess they told it to stop being so sycophantic, now it's like a petulant little kid who doesn't like when you tell...
