Why Marketing Quit Working (And What To Do Instead)

Over 80,000 (and counting) businesses have paid me for marketing advice. And for most of them, one of the biggest "sticking points" is the copy. But not what you think. The hardest part isn't writing the words. It's finding the Hook. The Big Idea. The Angle. Once you have that, the rest is easy. But finding it usually takes forever. So today, I'm going to show you how to use AI to find a multi-million dollar hook... in less than 3 minutes. And we're going to do it without typing a single prompt. We're going to take a random transcript of an Alex Hormozi interview and write a sales letter that sells it. (We're using Hormozi's video as an example. Naturally we're not actually going to sell my man's stuff.) Anyway, here's how we'll use AI to find the $22MM hook ...and then turn it into a sales letter: Step 1: "Brain Dump" Method. This is where you tell AI what you want it to do ...and you give it a bunch of info about whatever it is you're trying to sell. This part is important so be sure to watch it. Most people over-complicate it.  Step 2: Finding the hook. We use AI to find all the cool selling points for the thing we want to sell ...and then we use it to do a little research and find the actual $22MM hook itself. (It centers around one single word. This part is super cool.) Step 3: Turning the hook into a sales letter. We turn that one hook into a full long-form sales letter in seconds. But that's not the cool part. The cool part is when we use AI to turn the first draft into a hard core "Pro Level" sales letter without even typing a single word. If your AI copy sounds like ...you know ...AI, this video shows you how to fix that.  🔥 TRY THE TOOL: Get the AI that did all the work for me (Free Trial): https://ojoy.ai   👉 Watch Next: How To Build A $50K Marketing Campaign With AI: https://youtu.be/o7DrRh23qrk?si=Gt-zJkp9KEKBnBcR   0:00 - The Hardest Part Of Copywriting 0:48 - The "Brain Dump" Trick (Stop Typing) 1:32 - Step 1: Feeding It The Raw Data 2:40 - Step 2: Finding The "Big Idea" 3:35 - The $22M Alex Hormozi Case Study 4:34 - The "One Word" Hook Discovery 4:58 - Step 3: Generating The Sales Letter Outline 5:22 - Writing A 12-Page Letter In Seconds 5:39 - The "Pro-Level" Rewrite Technique #Copywriting #AI #MarketingStrategy #FrankKern #AlexHormozi #OjoyAI

Everyone says you can sell more stuff with AI. But if you've actually tried to use it, you probably found out that it writes stuff that isn't any good. Or you have to spend all day typing perfect prompts. That's a pain and it takes forever. (And it still totally sounds like AI wrote it.) So, today I'm going to show you how to write an entire marketing campaign that sounds like you (but better)... without even typing. By "campaign", I mean everything. All of the copy for the offer, the emails, the follow up, the social content... the whole thing. This is the stuff an agency would charge you $10,000 to $50,000 for. But we'll do it in about 22 minutes. HERE'S EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE BUILDING IN THIS VIDEO: The Quick-Shot Email & The Followup Campaign: I start small with one email, then show you how to build a full scarcity follow up sequence in seconds. The "Winning Hook": We're building this campaign for a random "Hangover Cure" product I found. (I figured it would be cool to use a real product instead of something hypothetical.) Instead of guessing what the best hook or angle should be, we use AI to do all the research and find the one "Big Idea" that will actually make people buy. The Proof: Then we PROVE it. You'll see how to use AI to find case studies, articles, and other credible research that proves the product can live up to the promise. The "Pre-Sell" Social Content: Then we use AI to read all that stuff, find the coolest parts, and turn what it learned into social content. You'll see how we get it to write us a full week's worth of content that attracts the perfect buyer. The "Pro-Level" Sales Letter: Next, we take the "Big Idea" and all the proof stuff and get a quick outline. Then, we use AI to turn that rough draft into a complete, long-form sales letter. It's just as good as what you'd pay a pro copywriter $10k - $25k for. (This might be the coolest part of the video). The Abandoned Cart Sequence: Finally, we get AI to write us a full "abandoned cart" email sequence for people who started to buy the product... but didn't. It sounds like a lot, but as you'll see... it's pretty easy if you use the right tools. And it saves you around $50K or so because that's what an agency would charge to do ALL of this stuff. 🔥 TRY THE TOOL: Get the AI that did all the work for me (Free Trial): https://oJoy.ai TIMESTAMPS:  0:00 - The New Way To Write (No Typing = Better Quality) 0:35 - The "Quick Shot" Email Method 2:24 - Building Am Automated Email Sequence (In 57 Seconds) 4:31 - The $50k Workflow Explained 6:20 - AI Research: Finding The "Big Idea"(AKA "The Hook") 7:13 - AI Finds The Proof (Proof beats promises every time.) 10:28 - Turning Research into content.

Don't use emotion to fight price objections. When a prospect is stuck on the numbers, emotion won't work. You have to fight logic with logic. I break down two Advanced AI Copywriting frameworks that make your price feel completely irrelevant: The "Apples to Oranges" Close and the "Identity Reframe."   I'm going to give you the specific AI Prompts that mathematically prove their price objections are silly. T hen, we cover the "Identity Challenge." This is the prompt structure that lets you call out the difference between who they say they are and what they're actually doing—without being a jerk about it.

Stories can increase revenue by 376%, but only if you do them right. In one study, scientists proved that adding a fictional story to a cheap spoon on eBay increased its final selling price by 64%. They found the same result with wine, art, and charitable donations (Those used real stories though. They call it the "Rokia" Effect). Stories don't change the product. They change the value of the product in the customer's mind. But it can be hard to come up with them because we think they have to be about us, our amazing accomplishments, or our lives. THEY DON'T. In this video, I break down: The "Value Inflation" Data: Why stories mathematically increase conversion rates by 30%+. The Revenue Spike: Why a specific type of story can lead to 376% more revenue per customer. The Anti-Personal Brand: How to use stories without ever being the "main character." The Danger Of AI: Why purely AI-generated stories usually cause a 62% DROP in trust (and how to fix it).

If you send more follow up emails, you'll sell more stuff. The last report I saw was from Hubspot and it said email is the most profitable marketing channel online. It said email gets a 4,000% ROI. That's amazing. Especially since most people don't send follow up emails at all. Probably because writing email sequences is a PAIN. Until now. In this one, I show you exactly how to use AI to create killer email follow-up sequences that actually convert. You'll discover my 3-step process for creating AI email sequences that sound like YOU (not like AI). Plus I show you real results from my own campaigns. (6.76% conversion from leads I got for free.)

My first 7-figure business sold downloadable audio-books about dog training. I sold it in 2007. Over the past 26 years, I've had over 80,000 (and counting) business owners pay me for marketing advice. I have zero credentials of any kind. Literally none. I've been a pizza delivery guy, a roofer, a ditch digger, a fry-cook, a car salesman, and even did door to door sales. I was bad at all of it. Discovered online marketing in 1999 when I saw an ad for a course about online marketing. 1999-2001, bought the reprint rights to a bunch of direct mail seminars on cassette tapes. Tried using spam to sell them. It was roughly 10000X harder than actually doing things the right way. 2003: Got sued by the government for violating advertising regulations. (If that's not bad enough, what's really embarrassing is I didn't even know that the advertising regulations existed. Turns out that ignorance is not bliss. It's simply ignorance.) 2004: Start selling downloadable "how-to" products to dog owners 2007: That business grew to a 7-figure business, was producing really good semi-passive income with only one product, and had a database of over 300,000 pet owners who opted in (legitimately) to learn about dog training. …And I sold it. That was dumb. 2007 - 2010: Created (and co-created) some of the largest marketing campaigns in the history of the "Internet Marketing" industry. Then wrote several courses that taught people how I did it. During the process, I also got kind of "Internet Famous" even though I didn't use Social Media. The "fame" stuff was sort of cool for a while but got old because I'm an introvert. 2011 - 2023: Focused mainly on consulting, offering marketing services to more established companies.. Made significantly more profit and still ended up growing my personal brand despite being super reclusive and weird. Today: I have one client (giant tech company) …and that's plenty. In addition to helping them, I also do all the marketing for my family's software company, https://oJoy.ai Biggest things I learned in past 26 years (and counting): If you build a brand based on goodwill, the brand will stay strong even if you quit trying to build it. The best way to grow a business or a brand, it so create goodwill by helping people. The easiest way to earn trust is to simply demonstrate you can help them …by actually helping them. The fortune really is in the follow up. Also, all this stuff is harder than it looks. But it's not nearly as hard as being a roofer, a ditch digger, or a fry-cook. I know because I've been all of them. Keep your head up, use common sense, and do people right. You'll get where you want to go much faster by doing that than by trying to take short cuts. IN CASE IT ISN'T OBVIOUS: I make content like this because I want to sell you something eventually. It's fun to make and all …but at the end of the day, I want you to become a customer.

Ever wonder if the stuff we THINK we "know" about marketing is wrong? Me too. And it turns out the answers is ...it IS! Sometimes. We shouldn't take marketing "rules" as ...well ...actual "RULES." For example, I just told a customer NOT to use a sales letter. Which is like "Marketing Heresy!" In this episode, I show you why. You'll also discover an amazing marketing lesson I learned from a COP. (This applies to everyone. You can use it immediately).

It's the question I've been getting a lot of lately, which is like a general question, which is what's the best way to do social media ads? The answer is, it depends. However, there is a Holy Trinity to shoot for, and if you can pull this off, and I...

If you lost everything today (contacts, cash, business, etc), what will you do to rebuild back your income? Well, if I literally had absolutely no money at all, like not even enough to run ads, I would go door-to-door to businesses or just get them on the phone, really. Yeah, I'd get them on the phone. I'm assuming I at least have a phone...

Here's a pretty good question. Samuel asks, is SEO dead? How much should I worry about it for a blog/biz website? Well, I'll give you my answer with a disclaimer.
