Stop following this advice...


There's a lot of advice rolling about that distribution is the key to making more money.

All you need is a big following, massive email list, loads of impressions or something similar and you're set.

It's part of the equation. But really, it's the lesser part.

Look, I know and have worked with people who have big ol' followings like...

  • Tens of thousands on their email list
  • Hundreds of thousands of impressions on social
  • Millions of accumulated views on their blogs and YouTube channels

...and it's weirdly surprising how many of these people aren't able to make decent cash off that reach.

On the other hand, I've worked with people who have email lists of less than 500 people people who are clearing multi-5-figure months.

The difference?

Knowing how to sell.

This is way more valuable than being able to get views on X or TikTok.

When you know how to sell, you can take a really small audience and turn it into a full-time income with little effort.

Then when you look at the distribution piece you supercharge those sales results.

In short though, people who can sell will generate sales and cash.

People who can achieve reach but can't sell, will generate likes.

If you have even a modest audience and you've collected their email list, you could be sitting on a potential goldmine.

All you have to do is figure out how to speak to them in a way that will get them to buy from you.

Which isn't all that hard.

If you've got the email liost and you're worried cause you're not generating the sales you should from it, check out the workshop I'm doing next week.

In it, I'm sharing the system I've used to help people make decent cash off email lists as small as a few hundred people.

I love a deal. I'll research a new product I'm gonna buy like mad so I know I'm getting the best version at the best price. It's common in a lot of B2C purchases, right? Hell, even in some things like insurance there are dedicated comparison shopping sites. Here's the weird thing though. I'm seeing more and more comparison shoppers for B2B offers. I've spoken to a few coaches, agencies, and consultants recently who are seeing the same thing. They're getting people on the phone, but those...

Meta ads have been brutal over the last 8 weeks or so. They've been rolling out a new algo and it's made the platform way more volatile than usual. If you spend any time on the FB Ads subreddit, you'll see the panic and fear... "Worst month for ads ever in my 12+ years of advertising" "Meta advertising is dead" "I'm going back to Google ads" Then you've got all the copium that comes with it. People talking about how Meta platforms are dying (they're not), and how they don't want to pay Zuck....

Email subscriber JP emailed me with the below question in response to an email I sent about the old method of turning cold leads into high-ticket clients being broken. Dear Peter,Sam Ovens later admitted his old way was broken.But what do you think of the model of Russ Ruffino?Is that still working today?How does it differ from your model?Thanks and God bless. I responded with this (I try to respond to all emails I receive). I’m not super familiar with Russ’s model. From a quick search it...
