From my observations, the world's most successful people are those who focus on the things within their control. Focusing on growing your email list makes sense to me, because it gives you more control than running ads or depending on online content. You may have some control with social media and paid traffic, but when the rules change you will wish you focused more on growing your circle of control. Happy 4th of July Miles
That's what I've begun doing, creating advertorials and then using the PCC to direct traffic to the article, because of all the warnings I've received from others that direct linking is forbidden on Facebook, and I've just discovered they flag bitly links as spam also. I learned the hard way on google. I made a commission on a sale for a loan company, but they shut down my personal account a day later for linking people directly to the affiliate product. I like the storytelling because writing based on experiences helps me to avoid false advertising.
the next step I would say is to grow your own email list. That way you can market to them multiple times instead of just one shot with an advertorial. Sounds like you're making progress… Good job!
Hi Miles, I like how you do your content marketing videos and how you break down all the numbers for us. Would you mind creating a video that highlights how those content marketing numbers have made an impact on your affiliate commissions?
Every dollar I've ever made in affiliate commissions from this brand is derived from the content marketing videos.even the videos that don't directly drive income, indirectly drive the trust factor, which indirectly drives income in the future. So in effect all of my content is the result of all of my income
Correct me if I'm wrong, but building an email list, and creating that asset so to speak, is predicated on having the ability to track sales conversions with pixels? If I can't see who does and doesn't buy from the product provider, then building a list seems superfluous?
another great video from you miles. it adds more detail little by little actually before I implement the soi and barrier to opt in by andre. but im still kinda confused on how i am going to implement this one successfully. this is basically my framework -fb ads -opt in & -Autoresponder madness. I do not know if i will be doing this right. i will run conversion campaign optimize for leads then my landing page is video #1 (30 minutes long) -mindset of successful people -lucrative products esp. ebook and training courses. -stories of 2 millionaire people in our affiliate program tells how they're doing it and then option to continue to video #2 (30 minutes long) - 3 questions you need to answer to become successful in online business that is : WHO - who are the people you want to serve? WHERE- where to find them & WHAT- what solutions can you provide to solve their problem. - another stories of 3 millionaires in our affiliate program on how they're doing it. and now the barrier to opt in right after they opt in, ill send them video #3 in their email which is the sales video how can we help them, story of the company helping aspiring entrepreneurs and small business owners to start a profitable businesa online and finally encourage them to enroll in our training courses. - Am I going to implement this right if Im going to use this framework? - I am aware that my leads will drop but my sales conversion will i dont know probably increase because my leads are hypertargetted because theyve gone through video #1 and video #2 series before opting in to see more in the final video which ill be sending in their email video #3 the sales video. hmm 😕💡
you so welcome miles the value you bring to your subs is 2nd to non and its really helped both me and my partner personal and also in growing our biz so keep up the great work you are making a big difference to people and look forward to see the next video best of luck bro
Because their funnel is tested and has multiple upsells (A++ storytelling). Only products with long cookie duration (365 days). But I see your point, hehe :o)
Why wouldn't they just be paying for the ads then? they are clearly trying to move the risk of paid advertisement onto your shoulders for a reason. What that reason is, I don't know… But it is for a reason.
Ok, question here (if appropriate) I am having a hard time finding affiliates in the spiritual niche (for crystals, smudging, malas, encenses etc...) Any ideas?
Considering you can print anything you want on the coffee mug or T-shirt… There is literally an infinite opportunity to tell stories. Not about the shirt, it's not about the mug.
As always, the best info! Miles, have you ever tried the "John Smith just purchased this product from Milesforpresident, California" popout during checkout?
Email marketing is a strong method, however it's only one of several that works. I've seen conversions from other sources do equal or better conversions. Whatever works for your business and how to reach your audience is the one you should focus on, imo.
3 important things to keep in mind when you're trying to tell a story in your blog post, social post, emails or videos, etc. 1. Start with an impact. Watch any Marvel/DC or any good movies. It starts with an action. BOOM!! 💣💣💣 2. Always keep your audience curious at the end. For example, remember the moment when Game Of Thrones ends at season 5. Jon Snow died. It was the most trending thing in the world. Your audience/your list should be like "What happens next?" 😯😯😯 3. Write a lot of stories. Like Mike said at 13:39. "Give yourself 90 days, write a story for the next 90 days. Every day." ✍✍✍
what can someone do when my emails being sent to Gmail users lands in the "Promotion" tab instead of the "Primary" tab? i'm seeing a huge drop in open rates because of this in my list
I'll be putting a video together on this soon… But just keep sending yourself test emails and keep testing this subject line and the content you're writing in the emails. You should have a "spam score" ranking from your email service provider. Also, are you using aWeber?
Miles Beckler can't wait! I'm using get response with my own email domain. And I do test messages, but the same emails I test out switch back and forth between being sent to the primary or promotions
Miles Beckler um no. It's a weighloss products. But the email is structured and written in a non selling way. With only 1 link attached, and 1 image only. And it's still being sent to the promotions tab. Even value emails in which I include no links , gets sent back and forth between the two tabs
Images are tough, I'd remove the image. Some of the words you are using are triggering Gmail's filters or the domain/email address has been tagged by Google as spam by other peoples' clicking the "report as spam" button upon receipt
5 Ways to get people to click your links 1. Paid advertisement (Not recommended) 2. Social media posts (Not recommended) 3. Pre-sell page/advertorial 4. Bridge page 5. E-mail (Recommended)
I have been doing Story telling since the mid 90's with email marketing for the stores I worked at. Now repurpose my emails as a blog post and gain long term gain from the time and effort to create those emails.
YES! Many of my emails are now hitting my blog, but I've got so many of them I've even started to publish some that aren't perfect for my blog to Medium... #NewExperiment www.medium.com/@milesbeckler That old Jay Abraham idea of getting everything we can out of what we've got! Cheers, buddy... Have a great #Murica day!
I totally agree that the long play with affiliate marketing is way more profitable and sustainable. Content + stories + email + multimedia + offer.
This video is a sixth example of how to present an affiliate link... An excellent example of how to slip into an affiliates sale, well done.
This would be a presell page... or #3.
Always a thumbs up Miles! Love the affiliate marketing content :)
Great to hear! I get 10x the trolls and spam when I do these kinds of videos, but I think it's helpful

I think some of the happiest people int he world have that trait, too... Focus on what we can control and let everything else be.
@@mrmaurice8951 wow, I don't even remember writing this. Would I say the same thing two years later? Yep, I would.
Good on you. Happy you are so successful. You have sown many seeds that you are now reaping.
Cheers
Hey Miles! Here we are on July 4th but on this holiday, you are still cranking it out! #badass!
Content to me = FREEDOM!
Yes! And a great point on your Medium too! I refuse to pay
For their subscription service either
Control your content!
This sounds realistic and possible to yield good results. Great content.
Thanks again Miles! Quote by Plato: “Those who tell the stories rule society."
I effing love that.

Thank you for this Miles! Succinct and valuable. Timeless principles trump techniques du jour...
Sure thing!
Thanks Miles for the great video. A super way of looking at marketing!
Glad you caught this one Dwayne!
Miles.... you. are. the. freaking. man! Thanks for making this video!
my pleasure
Oh dude, you are looking fresh. Thanks for the tutorial.
😀😎👍

Great video! It's helped me get a better understanding more about this subject.
another great video from you miles. it adds more detail little by little actually before I implement the soi and barrier to opt in by andre. but im still kinda confused on how i am going to implement this one successfully.
this is basically my framework
-fb ads
-opt in &
-Autoresponder madness.
I do not know if i will be doing this right.
i will run conversion campaign optimize for leads then my landing page is
video #1 (30 minutes long)
-mindset of successful people
-lucrative products esp. ebook and training courses.
-stories of 2 millionaire people in our affiliate program tells how they're doing it
and then option to continue to
video #2 (30 minutes long)
- 3 questions you need to answer to become successful in online business that is :
WHO - who are the people you want to serve?
WHERE- where to find them &
WHAT- what solutions can you provide to solve their problem.
- another stories of 3 millionaires in our affiliate program on how they're doing it.
and now the barrier to opt in
right after they opt in, ill send them video #3 in their email which is the sales video how can we help them, story of the company helping aspiring entrepreneurs and small business owners to start a profitable businesa online and finally encourage them to enroll in our training courses.
- Am I going to implement this right if Im going to use this framework?
- I am aware that my leads will drop but my sales conversion will i dont know probably increase because my leads are hypertargetted because theyve gone through video #1 and video #2 series before opting in to see more in the final video which ill be sending in their email video #3 the sales video.
hmm 😕💡
with SOI you are essentially just writing a multipage letter instead of a one page opt-in or sales page.
Hi Miles. How can we see the fb Ad you referred to in this video? (the one built on story)
Not going public with that one till I retire it... Too many copycats would plagiarize it unfortunately.
Please do a video on pre-sell videos for affiliate offers
another great video miles
thanks Keith
you so welcome miles the value you bring to your subs is 2nd to non and its really helped both me and my partner personal and also in growing our biz so keep up the great work you are making a big difference to people and look forward to see the next video best of luck bro
What do you think about deeplinking to the affiliate offers opt-in page with paid ads?
Very good video btw!
test it
You'd be paying to build THEIR LIST?!?!?! Why would you do that? Pay to build your list and test offers with your list!!!!
Because their funnel is tested and has multiple upsells (A++ storytelling). Only products with long cookie duration (365 days).
But I see your point, hehe :o)
Why wouldn't they just be paying for the ads then?
they are clearly trying to move the risk of paid advertisement onto your shoulders for a reason. What that reason is, I don't know… But it is for a reason.
Hi, Miles the storytelling coarse that you offer by Andre Chaperon, is it a monthly membership fee or a once-off fee for the course.?
One off... But it is only sold a couple times per year
Ok, question here (if appropriate) I am having a hard time finding affiliates in the spiritual niche (for crystals, smudging, malas, encenses etc...) Any ideas?
Amazon!
I completely agree about the story telling, but how would you go about telling a story about products such as coffee mugs or t-shirts?
Considering you can print anything you want on the coffee mug or T-shirt… There is literally an infinite opportunity to tell stories. Not about the shirt, it's not about the mug.

I have not, but I am guessing it works… Hence everyone using it
Awesome video!
Email marketing is a strong method, however it's only one of several that works. I've seen conversions from other sources do equal or better conversions. Whatever works for your business and how to reach your audience is the one you should focus on, imo.
choose the one of five that works best for you and run with it
This is indeed an out the box idea ;)

Great summary.... And I didn't mention it but, at least read Joseph Campbell's stuff on 'The Hero's Journey'!
Great video
Thanks!
Will pictures having a big impact in the story telling?
Could, but don't have to be

Are you promoting 'make money online' offers?
Miles Beckler um no. It's a weighloss products. But the email is structured and written in a non selling way. With only 1 link attached, and 1 image only. And it's still being sent to the promotions tab. Even value emails in which I include no links , gets sent back and forth between the two tabs
