(Radio interview) How to quickly get started in business

[Raedrum]

Thank you for your response, I'll try that

About your thoughts:

1) I'll try both. Indeed if they are already doing ads, we could compare the results after
2) That's definitely something I want to try, even elaborate the things further and create a leads generating platform, but it won't work immediately because:

- I want to try it with emergency services (more easy) so people calling will want an intervention immediately
- I'm absolutely broke at the moment ^^

Nonetheless that's definitely something I want to try in the future

Google Ads seems full of opportunities

Episode 1 takeaways:
1. Find what people need and provide that product or service, don’t begin by thinking about what you want. (Have to give to receive.)
2. Be reliable and stick to your word, reputation is important. (Be referable.)
3. Hone in on what provides the best results and focus on that. (Grow what works.)
4. Be specific about services/location in which you provide.
5. Don’t get caught in pricing games that are a race to the Bottom.
6. Don’t worry about numbers, help one at a time, starting with those nearest to you.
7. 2 Ears, 1 mouth, observe and listen more than you talk. (Say thank you... and be kind!)
8. See people as people, not just clicks or numbers.
9. How to pick a business: is it people want and/or are searching for. (Want > Need.)
10. Instead of searching for low hanging fruit, catch the fruit that is already falling. (Instead of trying to generate demand, fulfill an existing one.)

Very valuable stuff. The search for what people want continues.

Thanks for listening, and the write up @Shono.

Curious what you make of part 2:

(Radio Interview) Freedom, Motivation, & Grow What You Know

(Radio Interview II) Freedom, Motivation, & Grow What You Know Here's my second interview on Dublin South FM. We talk about "freedom". I wonder why people need motivation. I give my hack to get out of your own way. I wonder why people can't see the grass under their own feet. I'll...

Epic fail on my part for the thread title btw. It's soooo bad.

When I edit it and post it to iTunes, what title should I put on this episode?

What is common sense to you, may not be common sense to others (competitors... or radio presenters)

Haha. Just re-read this part.

Thanks Andy, this was a good listen - skipped the music though

Thanks. Yeah, I'll edit out the music one day.

What was your biggest takeaway?

What will you do differently going forward?

I like the title you got for it on soundcloud.

"How to Quickly Get Started in Business"

Ha. I forgot that my mod privileges mean I can go back and change titles of old threads.

Title changed, because someone bumped it and I had no idea what the thread was about.

Andy, I really enjoyed and learned from episode 1, thank you! Will listen to second interview tonight. Thanks for helping people. It’s admirable, and an example to follow.

Thanks for listening and the feedback. Curious if you got to listen to the second radio interview and what you're takeaways were.

I’d be very keen to subscribe for myself and my 13-year old son who recently launched an affiliate linked blog. He is trying to get his head around AHrefs and the keyword zoo on YouTube. I think he would really benefit from a structured approach or program. Could you let us know when you launch that? I am personally following a course for FBA by Dan Vas (who was once in this forum) and its excellent, extremely detailed. That’s my night job, and my products hit amazon warehouses in a week or so. The event horizon is near. Excited and a bit nervous.

He’s starting at age 13?!? Good for him.

I have this programme at the moment:

@Andy Black I have the idea of proposing free google ads trial to prospects with ultra simplified funnel and minimum investment in time/money for them:

1) Find niche in my city where there is a lot of research on keyword planner
2) Find big actors of this niche who doesn't do google ads yet
3) Propose to run a free "test" with landing pages on my own domain and using my own google account to begin (let's say 2 weeks)

This way the client have not to modify his website and not even to create a google accountn enter credit card or wathever, they just have to send me a few hundred euros (wich is nothing for someone making 500k profit).

Then I get them results, and then it's time to speak about doing thing more seriously (re-do website, do their own google account, sign contracts and get paid)

Do you find that sensible ?
