#51: Sam Parr - Founder of The Hustle on using Copywriting to Build an Email List with 1.5 Million Subscribers

On this episode, I’m joined by Brendan Hufford, Director of SEO at Directive. Brendan’s SEO agency works with massive brands like Allstate and rapidly growing B2B SaaS Startup companies like Sumo Logic. Brendan is a veritable SEO and Content Marketing expert. He’s grown monthly site visitors from 56,000 to 193,000 in just 3 months, regularly doubles website traffic for SaaS clients, and is an expert at driving MQLS which he increased for an enterprise software client by +2750%. Brendan and I talk in depth about content and SEO strategies and challenges for early stage B2B SaaS Startups selling to SMB, mid market, and enterprise. The first few minutes I learn about Brendans fun background, so if you want to skip that forward to about 5 minutes in.

After working with almost 20 companies, 6 of which where business of my own that failed or ran out of steam I've started to see 3 common mistakes that damned all of them. I cover at a high level what these mistakes are and introduce season 2 of AD4 B2B SaaS Startup Marketing

On this episode of AD4, I'm joined by Roger Dooley, Forbes Brainy Marketing CMO Council, author, marketing pro and international keynote speaker who's used Neuromarketing principles to create content that's built huge website audiences. His personal record is 3 million unique visitors/month.  He's also the author of the 2 books Friction and Brainfluence, the host of the Brainfluence podcast which has featured Ryan Holiday, Guy Kawasaki, and nobel prize winner Al Roth.
