What have you done?

Published 4 months ago • 2 min read

Yo!

So in the free community (you can check it out here) I've implemented a little "kick up the arse" accountability feature.

At the start of the week, you can outline what you want to get done and ask for help from the community.

At the end of the week, you list what you've achieved, what you wanna do next week, and can ask for more help.

It's new, but I'd love for you to join in.

​The thread for it is here, and I've pasted today's entry from yours truly below.

  1. In the last week I managed to add ~1700 email subs which I’m pretty happy about.

Downside is about another 1000 new subscribers were auto bounced from my ESP. Weiord as they were bounced as soon as they were added. Either fake emails or a problem, but we're looking ito a fix to bring them over as well.

2. Also kicked off a new experiment for a biz idea I’ve been sitting on for a while. Trying to get it spun up today to check how valid it all is.

3. Created a simple system to turn long-form video into short-form social posts. It’s working well to start growing the views on my YouTube channel which I wanna do more of.

Plans for next week are…

  • Keep the new video strat going
  • Get those email subs approved
  • Close out a client engagement I’ve almost completed and get that closing payment
  • Work on closing 1-2 more coaching students from the new subs
  • Properly test the new biz idea when I get the system running

If you want to join in and get a little bit more accountability in your life, check out the thread and join the community here.

I've gotta get back to work and finish off the day so I can chill out and spend the entire weekend watching the Euros.

Speak soon,

Pete

In the past week I've had a couple of people mention that they want a little extra help in setting up an SLO - or self-liquiating offer. They're sometimes also called things like a tripwire product, or low-ticket offer. I love 'em and can understand why people want to set one up. Once you've got a decent one established, it results in some cool things like...

I've had a lot of businesses, offers, and ideas fail over the years. Some of 'em I still think are pretty good ideas and, if I'd approached it differently, could have worked. What would I do differently? I'd do it all faster. But in a smart way. For years I was doing things the "right" way. I was...

Is it possible to run profitable ads if you don't have a big ol' marketing budget? Yup. I've got a campaign that's generating profit at only £3 per day. Here's how. Before I get into the deets, I should also say that this is a great method for "higher threat" offers like recurring fee products where there's a longer consideration cycle (I recently did an analysis in GM+ on someone who'd making money hand over fist with this). Look, part of running ads is testing the market. You might lose a...
