Stop doing this...


Yo!

For a long time I thought those “I have a list of X - DM me if you want it” approaches to list growth actually worked.

Then I tried them and realised that it’s a way to feel busy, and get some nice vanity metric engagement stat pumps… but that’s kinda it.

The constant gathering of info, organising it into spreadsheets etc, and then trying to generate social engagement was miserable.

Especially when it doesn't result in a pay day.

And I know I’m not the only one who’s seeing these things fail. I engaged with someone who was doing this recently and I asked how it was working for them.

This is the response I got.

Ouch.

Why doesn’t this work?

2 reasons.

The first is that they’re really only there to pump your social engagement stats so you LOOK LIKE you’re doing well.

Second is they attract freebie seekers who don’t necessarily feel the pain deeply enough to actually pay for a solution.

Now, whenever I see anyone running these, I really feel bad for them cause I know they’re headed for a world of headaches and frustration.

The good news is there’s a better way to grow your list with people who will help sustain your business.

I’ve been digging deep into the world of audience growth and recently been intro’d to the wonderful Adriana Tica.

She has a few fun methods to grow an audience that don’t rely on social media - in fact, you can do them without using it at all.

No more trying to game the algo.
No more begging for engagement.
No more attracting freebie seekers.

Just a systematic way to add leads to your business who are qualified and want to buy from you.

Adriana’s quickly growing following is proof that her tactics do work.

I believe her strategies can help you too.

So, I asked (and she graciously agreed) to do a workshop on her methods for growing an audience of buyers without social for us.

It’s next Friday and will outline key details and approaches to growing without social.

More details are here.

Sign up today and you could be growing your audience in a healthier way by Monday the 28th.

Speak soon,

Pete “No Social” Boyle

P.S - Even if you can’t make the time on the day, sign up and you’ll get access to the recording.

I was chatting with a client the other day about tweaking their front-end offers. They know I’ve been running a lot of AI-based front-end tests, so they asked what’s working and what’s not so we could improve their system. (If you want similar help, hit reply, I’m taking on a few people at the minute.) Here’s what I told him… Yes, AI-based offers sell. If the positioning is right, they sell very well. But if you set them up wrong, you leave a tonne of money on the table. Let me show you. I...

Yo! I've been working on a new low ticket offer myself, and I want to explain the core concept and approach here. Mainly cause this is what you nee dto be doing to get more people into your high ticket stuff. Short version is most high ticket stuff is failing today because they're too big aof a leap for cold traffic who doesn't trust you yet. ... the offer is good... you can deliver the result... and it's affordable ... but people just don't trust you enough to take the risk. And it's because...

Yo! Just stumbled on something that reaffirms the switch I'm making (and advising people to do) towards low ticket offers. Also, if you're looking for help with your growth, hit reply and le tme know as I'm taking on a few more people. There's a chap I bought a course form a couple of years ago. Big name in the content marketing space, someone you'll likely know the name of. Back then, I paid $2k for this course (no regrets, it was good). Today I got an email from him with his Black Friday...
