The Biggest Secret in all of Business.

Hi, I’m Brian Pombo, welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live.

We get together every day and talk a little bit, go over some real simple concept and then I send you on your way and today is no different.

It’s funny, I don’t know if you heard that ding that just happened. I have my phone set to alert me every time that somebody that I’m specifically following goes live and it’s following me. So I’m going live right now and it’s alerting me.

I’ve got to make sure I turn that off before I do this. Welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live. Coming again from Grants Pass Oregon. Today we’re going to talk about the biggest secret in all of business and what is the biggest secret?

Do you know what it is?

I’ll give you a clue.

I thought about it as I picked up this off of my shelf. This is 108 Proven Split Test Winners.

This was put together by Russell Brunson’s team, over at Click Funnels and they put this out as kind of an advertisement for their business. But it’s a very brilliant way of doing it because what it does is it talks about split testing and split testing throughout your entire funnel on your website.

So regardless of whether or not, let me just look through here, I mean, you know, whether it’s better to have a large video or a small video. Or whether you’re asking them a three word survey or a or a four word survey. I mean, just one thing after another as to things that they ran up against each other.

If you’re not sure what a split test is, it’s when you run two things at the same time and you have enough traffic going through it that you could see which one’s the winner. The winners of 108 different tests that they did over time.

Now, this doesn’t necessarily mean it would be the same winner in your situation with your market. All markets are different, but it’s the concept behind it. In some cases they ran some of these tests over many different markets.

So they have a pretty good idea of certain things that come with human psychology or at least come with the times.

So what is this?

Is this a big book of secrets?

It is in a sense, and as marketers we use the term secret over and over and over and over again.

Russell himself has the book, Dotcom Secrets and also, Expert Secrets.

I think he’s coming out with traffic secrets soon.

I mean he’s driven that word into the ground because it’s a hot word. It makes you think that there’s something that is being kept from you or something that you haven’t been told or something that very few people know.

And once I know it, I’m going to be special.

You know, it comes with the territory when you think about that word and that is one of the biggest secrets in all of business is that there really are no true secrets, no secrets that are worth knowing.

Really, it’s all written down.

The reason why I have all these books, the reason why I get other programs and things of the sort….audio video, anything I can get my hands on when it fits what I’m looking for, is because there’s no secrets.

Is that anybody that’s doing something out there that’s making a big difference, they eventually tell somebody it eventually gets recorded and individually gets disseminated out to the rest of us.

There’s no secrets in business.

The same principles apply today as apply to a hundred years ago as applied 500 years ago as will apply in the future because the principles are always based on things that don’t change.

It’s part of the word itself.

Things just do not change.

When there are principles, they’re solid. They’re very clear cut, that’s the big secret.

The big secret is there is no secret, I think Earl Nightingale said that about The Strangest Secret. He had this famous record called The Strangest Secret and I think he was one of them that said that the secret is not a secret.

It’s out there. And I’ve had many of my mentors say the same thing through the years, that you can find out anything you need to find out. And when it comes to any changes in your business, if you are looking to change your marketing up, if you’re looking to stand out more within with your customers or anybody else, there’s someone out there that can help you.

I know there’s certain areas of business that I’m not the best at, I’m not the greatest at tech and code and all this stuff on websites when it comes to really specific things.

I’d rather find either find someone else who can do it for me or learn the secret from somebody else and find a quick way of doing it.

You’re the same way.

You just got to realize there’s no obstacle you’re going to come across that you’re not going to be able to go over if you have right attitude, you can get through anything.

You just have to get really good at finding who the person is that has the information or has the skill and put them to work for you.

So one of the things I do as a business strategist is I come in and my main focus has always been business growth.

But even going a little bit further than that and being a little bit more specific, I’m all about helping you to stand out in front of your customers, in front of the customers that you want the most.

So if you’d like to work with me or I’d like to find out more about what I do, go to BrianJPombo.com there’s a little plug for me.

Also if you’re in the self-reliance field, meaning that you have products and services help people become more self reliant and whatever that means to go to DreamBizChat.com. There’s a video they’re going watch.

It gives you an idea of what the Dream Business Transformation is and why I give them away.

Even though I charge most people in most industries, $600 and above for their strategy sessions. The Dream Business Transformation is specifically for those in the self-reliance, so go check that out. DreamBizChat.com.

We’ll be back here tomorrow. We’re back here every day and we’ll see you then. In the meantime, get out there and let the magic happen.

When it comes to content marketing, what type of content should you be making?

Hi, I’m Brian Pombo. Welcome back to the Orange Office in Grants Pass, Oregon for today’s Brian J. Pombo Live. And today we’re talking about content marketing again.

What kind of content should I make?

This is a common question that I hear from people. I like to break it up into three different areas of surprise, surprise. I love breaking things into threes. It’s just easier for my mind to wrap itself around.

First area would be text, second area audio, third area video. Pick one of those.

Text what I mean by text is just any type of writing, so a blog, any type of writing whatsoever. If you think better by just typing something out or writing something out, if that’s your easiest way to communicate, then go with the text area.

If audio is going to be easy for you, if it’s just easier to just record audio on your phone or a digital recorder, do it that way. If it’s easier to do video to just pull out your phone and just do a quick video like I’m doing right now, then do it that way.

So it all comes back to what’s easiest for you and it’s not just about what’s easiest for you, but what’s easiest to do on a regular basis.

We were talking before about doing daily videos like I’m doing here, doing a daily video. You may be listening to this over a podcast, so that’s the re-purposing of my daily videos.

These daily videos start out over on Facebook. They get spread out to YouTube, Linkedin, Instagram, Twitter and so on and so forth. A YouTube especially gets populated out there.

Then we take the audio, send it out via podcast that reaches also via my BrianJPombo.com slash media you can view all the previous, they’ll relisten to all the previous episodes.

It doesn’t really matter which one you pick because any one of those that you pick, text, audio or video can be repurposed afterwards.

Whether you have someone else read your text or someone else do it on video or have they have robots that are getting pretty good at reading text and sounding pretty natural. Uh, you know, if you have Siri on your phone or any other type of reader on your phone, if you have an Amazon Kindle, it can read a book for you. And the voices are actually getting pretty good.

You can have that transferred over to video. You can have the words actually show up on the screen.

There’s a whole bunch of options available. Just start, pick something that you can do daily or at least regularly, maybe even weekly, but start doing something so that you get your voice out there.

You get your ideas out there, you put things out there so that you can bring eventually business back.

Or if you’re doing any form of promotion whatsoever. I work with business people, but it doesn’t matter what you’re looking to promote. You’re looking to promote a cause, you’re looking to promote your music. It doesn’t matter if you’re looking to make any money off of it or not.

If you’re looking to get an idea out there, the most important thing is content marketing and doing it online is easy. It’s simple. It’s something you can do, especially nowadays with a Smart Phone. You can do it from anywhere, as long as you have an internet connection.

You just need to get it out there and it’s gotta be regular. And as you do it, you’ll get better and better and better at it.

Great example of this, Russell Brunson, I’m not sure if you’ve heard of Russell Brunson. You can go look him up. The guy’s the CEO of and the founder of Click Funnels, which software allows you to build websites and so forth.

Russell started out years ago with a podcast called marketing in my car. I think you could still go here those. If you go to wherever you listen to podcasts, you can go and see if you could find those.

He changed the name of the podcast to Marketing Secrets eventually, but it started out as Marketing In Your Car and all it was was him driving back and forth from work and recording his thoughts of that moment, talking about marketing because that’s kind of his forte.

It’s a great example of a very simple concept, an easy way for him to be able to put out content. Following that he ended up doing video.

He ended up doing a whole bunch of other things and hired video crews and everything else, but started out with nothing more than audio in his car. Wasn’t great quality.

It was just enough for people to get to know him, for him to get his ideas out there, to start formulating them. All the other reasons why I say you should do content marketing, so watch some of those other videos that I talk about content marketing all this week, we’ve pretty much been covering that.

Let’s see what else.

Transcribing, you can transcribe. So I talked about going from text to audio and video. You’re gonna also, obviously go from audio and video over to text, depending on where you’re watching this.

If you go to BrianJPombo.com from a certain point onward, I’ve started transcribing or having my content transcribed. It’s simple to do. It’s actually getting easier and easier and easier with time.

There’s one called Temi. This is an app and a website. T E M I, Temi. If you go there currently, they’re offering transcribing services for 10 cents a minute of audio, so per minute of audio, it’s only cost 10 cents to transcribe.

It’s a really great deal. It uses a artificial intelligence to do it pretty quickly and give you pretty decent transcription. You can go through and fix all the details.

You can add that text to a video if you’re doing video or if you’re just doing audio, you can have some text to be able to put along with the audio wherever you post it.

Even if you’re putting down in podcast. Having the text out there allows people to find it easier through search engines and other things. These are all different ways that people like to consume media.

Start with something that’s simple for you, something that’s easy for you to do regularly. That’s what you should pick.

Tomorrow we’re going to talk about, let’s see, another end of content marketing, and I completely forgot what it was. Usually write these things down. It’s going to be, oh, you know what? I know exactly what it is. And it’s not directly related with content marketing, but it will tie back into it. And that is what is more important in your business.

Having the right answers to everything or having the right questions. That’s kind of a silly question, isn’t it? It might twist your mind around a little bit. Don’t think too hard. We’re going to talk about that tomorrow.

In the meantime, get out there and let the magic happen.

The three ways that you could dynamically change your business

Acquisition – New people / customers that are coming into your company

Ascension – Increasing transaction size per customer

Monetization – Increasing the number of transactions you get per customer

  • Most companies tend to focus on Acquisition but not enough on Ascension or Monetization.
  • Monetization is likely the least focused on of the three by most companies.

3 Ways To Grow A Business

  • 1. Acquisition – This means increasing numbers, the number of customers or clients you have.
  • 2. Ascension – Increasing the average sale.
  • 3. Monetization – Increasing how much they buy, how often they buy.

The problem is we tend to get caught up in the 1st step, it’s the hardest to get (acquiring new customers) and we tend to focus little or not at all on the other two options.

P.S. – Just in case it wasn’t clear, Brian was joking about the Rolls Royce. 🙂
