Getting followers is great..

.. but why are you ACTUALLY here?

—> To make MONEY!

If I’m wrong, I apologize. (not really)

Let’s talk numbers..

BIG Numbers..

HUGE Numbers..

The numbers EVERYONE wants:

[BLUEPRINT TO $5000/MTH ON TWITTER]

~ A GIVER THREAD ~

1.

$5000/mth on Twitter would be enough for almost anybody..

.. And if not, it’s a nice $60,000 salary increase

But how do we get there?

What can YOU do to make this happen?

* Let’s start with the proper “Foundation” needed to reach this goal

2.

First things first..

$5000/mth from Twitter will be IMPOSSIBLE if your followers aren’t ENGAGED.

• Build a Connection with your Followers

• Prioritize Quality Content

• Sell a Great Product

That’s the formula for turning your account into a Money PRINTER!

3.

Remember this when you’re trying to “grow on Twitter”:

~ Engagement > Followers

No one trusts an account with 5,000 followers and 3 likes on their tweets..

(cont..)

4.

Another thing I’d like to add is:

—> You don’t need to wait till you hit “X thousand followers” before you start selling

However..

There ARE a few requirements

5.

Before you start selling, you must:

a.) Know how to teach

b.) Be credible

c.) Be trusted

Read that first one again.

You must KNOW how to teach

(Here’s why)

6.

If you’re an expert copywriter and I barely have a clue as to what copywriting even is..

You’ll have to do a lot more than simply “telling me” what to do..

* Otherwise I’ll never become independent

(Here’s how you can change this)

7.

The best teachers are GREAT at putting themselves in the mind of their students

- What did YOU used to struggle with?
- What did YOU do to get better?
- What practicing methods did YOU use?

Ask yourself these questions and show others how they can do the same.

8.

• People view your sales page because they’re interested in learning ______.

• They purchase because they think your product will solve their problem

When your product ACTUALLY solves their problems..

Your sales will SKYROCKET

(cont..)

9.

• Gather testimonials/results
• Add testimonials to your sales page
• Set up affiliates

(you can even go a step further and provide sales trainings for your affiliates)

10.

Building trust?

That happens through:

- Consistent value
- Sticking to your word
- Getting the “good word” from big accounts

(Here’s what I mean)

11.

We always hear:

“It’s who you know”

And let me tell you..

- Who you are connected with in the Twitter space is MASSIVE

(Let me explain)

12.

Person A is well-connected with 5 accounts that have 20,000+ followers EACH

Person B is not.

The opportunity Person A has to push their product (setting up the 5 accounts as affiliates) is amazing.

It can truly accelerate your success.

(My advice for this)

13.

Becoming well-connected with the big guys is a matter of providing them value upfront

- Make them a few free designs
- Help then build their website
- Give them the info you typically charge others for

(cont..)

14.

Keep in mind however..

You shouldn’t connect with these people ONLY so you can use their audience for your own good.

• Form a good connection
• Interact with them routinely

It’s a process.

(Anyway, lets continue..)

15.

Once you’ve built a solid foundation, it’s time to start putting a product together

The keys to a successful product are:

• Proper Pricing
• Uniqueness
• Digestible

+ It gets the job done and more.

(Let’s talk about these)

16.

—> Pricing

This is dependent on WHAT you are selling.

$30?

That’s great for a guide on twitter growth..

$300?

This is more reasonable for a mentorship or high-ticket sales trainings..

(Here’s what to keep in mind when pricing)

17.

~ Price your product too low and you may devalue it
~ Price it too high and you’ll limit your audience

~ You’ll get more sales at $47 than you will at $50 (perception)

~ Higher price leaves room for bigger discounts

18.

—> Uniqueness

~ How is your product different?

~ Why should they buy YOURS and not someone else’s?

~ What are you providing that NO other product provides?

(Keep this in mind when creating a unique product)

19.

~ Title your product something that:

• Stands out

• Mentions a benefit

• Creates an image in the reader’s mind

I recommend drafting a few titles and sending them to others for their opinion.

(next)

20.

—> Being Digestible

This might be the most important part of your product..

- Is it EASY for your readers to understand?

- Can they apply the information without further research?

- Does it leave out unnecessary words & details?

: MAKE IT EASY TO APPLY!

21.

An Engaged Audience + Proper Pricing & Uniqueness
is where your first boost of sales will come in

After those people consume your product 1 of 2 things will happen

22.

a.) The product lives up to its expectations and your first set of buyers start telling their friends about it

This leads to more affiliates, more sales, and marketing through word of mouth (which is the BEST!)

b.) The product was overhyped and didn’t get the job done..

23.

If your product is a complete MISS, I suggest asking for constructive criticism,

and add NEW content depending on what customers thought it lacked..

• This gives you a chance to redeem your reputation and provide additional value to your followers

24.

So $5000/mth..

How do you get THERE?

Consider these things:

- Price
- Traffic
- Upsells
- Conversion Rate

Each contributing to hitting that $5000

25.

Let’s do an example:

PRICE = $50

TRAFFIC = 1000 views/mth

CONVERSION RATE = 3%

(All very generous numbers)

26.

3% of 1000 is 30 Sales

30 Sales of $50 =$1500

Pretty far from $5000 right?

—> So what do you do?

1.) Increase Price
2.) Increase Traffic
3.) Increase Conversion Rate

(But howwwww?)

27.

Increasing Price?

- You either you up price or you create upsells that add to the value of your product

I recommend a cheap upsell ($9-$20)
and a high-ticket upsell ($50-$500)

(cont..)

28.

• Cheap upsells could be a Checklist, Additional Info, or something to accelerate someone’s progress

• High-Ticket upsells could be 1-1 Mentorships, Coaching Calls, or a “Done-For-You” service..

(cont..)

29.

Do this right and you’ll see most of your customers purchasing the cheap upsell (increases your average purchase value)

And every now and then you’ll have a high-ticket customer.

(What about traffic?)

30.

Increasing traffic is a matter of getting more clicks to your sales page..

So:

• Increase your sales tweets

• Build an email list (and sell there)

• Set up affiliates

Building and email list is a HUGE way to double your sales

(Quick tutorial)

31.

Build a list:

a. Use ConvertKit
b. Create a free product for viewers to download (in exchange for their first name and email)
c. Send out 3 value emails and 1 promotion email per week

(Don’t forget to promote your free product on Twitter to increase subscribers)

32.

Increase Conversion?

• Add testimonials to sales page
• Include better copywriting
• Have a professionally-made cover

Follow @CMillerTalks & @oliviercantin for copywriting advice

And @hustlerbrent for beautiful design work

(cont..)

33.

After you’ve optimized Price, Traffic, and Conversions,

Your sales are guaranteed to increase

Remember, we were currently at $1500/mth with:

• 1000 Monthly Visitors
• 3% Conversion
• $50 Price Tag

(Now look at this)

34.

After improving your sales page:

• Your conversion % went from 3% to 5%

After building a list and tweeting more:

• Your traffic is now 1600 Visitors

After adding upsells:

• Your average purchase is $63

All bringing you to a $5040 month on Twitter

35.

You went from $1500 to $5040 all because you spent some time making everything just a little better
