Today's episode of the Art of Paid Traffic is the third in our 3-part mini-series about using webinars and paid traffic to grow your business.

In episode #70 I talked all about how to use streaming webinars and paid traffic to automate your business.

In the last episode, #71, John Lee Dumas from EoFire joined me to talk about How to Create a 7-Figure Business Using Webinars & Facebook ads.

And in today's episode, one of my very best friends Amy Porterfield joins me to talk about how to know if webinars will work for your business and we also get into several tips and strategies for creating a high converting webinar.

Amy is one of the BEST people I know when it comes to creating and delivering webinars that convert and I’m psyched to welcome her back to the show today so she can share her secrets with you.

In the past 6 years, she has done 300+ webinars and built a 7-figure business using webinars as the backbone.

In Today's Episode, You'll Learn:

  • How to know if webinars will work for your business
  • Simple strategies for how to increase the quality of leads coming into your webinar
  • 5 tips and strategies for creating a high converting webinar
  • Why giving away your best stuff for free is the smartest strategy
  • What to do BEFORE your webinar which gets people pumped for your training

Free Live Webinar Training THIS WEEK with Amy Porterfield and Me!

If you want to grow and scale your business without relying on a huge email list, webinars are THE way to go.

In addition to having Amy on the podcast, I asked her if she would dive even deeper into her webinar strategy and share everything (copy, images, case studies, do's, dont's -- everything but the kitchen sink) about how to create a high converting webinar.

So, this Thursday, January 28th at 10am PST join us for a free live training:

How to Create Your First 5-Figure Webinar (Even if you don’t have much of a list yet!).

On today's episode of The Art of Paid Traffic, we're talking all about how to use streaming webinars and paid traffic to automate your business.

This is the first episode in a 3-part mini-series this month all about how to use webinars and paid traffic to grow your business.

There was a point in time when not many were using Facebook ads just yet.

Google AdWords was all the rage, and many people online were skeptical about platforms like Facebook for ads.

Fast forward a couple of years, and you’d be hard pressed to not see the more successful entrepreneurs, names, and brands using Facebook ads to grow their businesses and get more sales.

But for me, Facebook ads were just one-half of the equation…

Yes, the ads were powerful and grew my email list and business, but it wasn’t until I combined them with webinars – and a very specific kind of webinar – that things really took off.

I’d do a couple of live webinars, take note of what worked (and what didn’t), and then tweak. 

Do more webinars, rinse and repeat.

After a while, I had a high-converting webinar…

And then the question hit me:

How could I do more of these?

That’s when I found automated webinars, or streaming workshops, as I like to call them.

And, when you do them right (and ethically) things get really fun in your business.

That's what this episode of The Art Of Paid Traffic is is all about.

Here are just a few things you're about to hear in today's epsidoe:

  • The 5 ways to use Facebook ads to promote your products, boost affiliate partnerships, and grow your relationships with your audience
  • How to scale your online business (while adding value and selling more of your product and services)
  • Why automated webinars have been given a bad name (and how to combat this)
  • How to properly leverage streaming workshops to grow your relationships and then sell your products
  • When should you automate a webinar? (most get this wrong and then act out of integrity)
  • The step-by-step funnel flow that preps cold-traffic for upcoming streaming webinars
  • How to double your ad-spend with this handy little method
  • The type of content you need to offer during your streaming webinar (if you want to sell a product at the end)
  • How to handle different kinds of streaming webinar sign ups (like when someone drops off, doesn’t buy, or doesn’t show up)
  • The tools I recommend you use to make this process and system simple
  • How to know exactly how many people watched (and if they heard your offer) so that you can properly market to viewers after the streaming webinar
  • The simple method you can use to drastically improve the stats of your streaming webinar, funnels, offers, and Facebook ads
  • A free resource to help you track, manage, and improve your stats and sales

Selling products on Amazon and using PPC to increase sales is one of the hottest topics right now and Scott's the man when it comes to this stuff.
