Has anyone studied high performing entrepreneurs like they study high performing athletes?
MINDSET QUESTIONHow’s someone (like say Alex Hormozi) able to make $100M before 35 vs. other founders in similar markets only net a few mil every year. Both great outcomes, but one is levels above the other. IK this is like asking what sets Kobe/Jordan apart from others but for the business world. Obviously...- ycee

Struggling to get influencers to work with you? Try this unique “give first” method to flip that on its head.
MARKETINGI agree with you. Sometimes we also advise brands to send an affiliate code with the package so they start being compensated if they post. Depends on the brand and the awareness they already have. The goal early on should be only to work with creators who intrinsically want to shout your...- ycee

MARKETINGOnly do that for creators who truly like your product. Use software like refersion or referral pro to make them affiliates. Then keep sending them more bonus packages and keep them in the loop about the inner happenings of the brand etc. to make it more "INSIDERS" Work with them to figure...- ycee

Struggling to get influencers to work with you? Try this unique “give first” method to flip that on its head.
MARKETINGThe first obstacle you would face with influencer marketing is actually getting creators interested in working with your brand.

What do you think about the future of influencer/ambassador marketing with the recession, downfall of ads, etc.?
MARKETINGWhile having a content channel and email list is the best, I've observed that influencer marketing and related channels (affiliate, ambassador marketing) are taking off among both ecommerce and SaaS brands nowadays. I see two trends here: - Ads are not working as well as they used to. - The...- ycee

Why my influencer marketing strategy didn't work and what I did to turn it around
MARKETINGWhen I started doing influencer marketing for brands, I managed to get creators to say yes and onboarded them to our program. But they never generated the $ in sales that we desired.

Here's how to reach a sold-out Madison Square Garden full of customers without expensive celebrity shoutouts
MARKETINGYep, I've scaled a couple brands from 0-50 creators and most of my learnings stem from scaling a consumer-facing brand to 400+ creators in 6 months - generated $300K topline. I'm also building software in the space and speak to 1-2 new brands every week about their influencer strategy.- ycee

MARKETINGThis sounds good in theory but is incorrect based on my experience. You're comparing apples to pineapples. A football fan channel with 5M subs if you're selling football gear?
