Blueprint To Kick The 9-5..

by

I want to share a quick story with you…

I was in my late teens and I’d been working at the supermarket for nearly one year.

One day, I got to work and my boss started yelling at me, and calling me names.

This wasn’t the first time this had happened, and I was growing tired of it.

That day, I decided I’d had enough.

Not just of him, but the whole situation.

I hated the work, I hated the commute, and obviously I hated my boss too.

So, I did what almost anyone would do in that situation…

I told him “I QUIT!”

Actually, I said a few other things to him I won’t repeat, but you get the idea.

So, maybe you’re in the position where you’re done with your job and you feel like quitting.

You’re not alone.

But I don’t advise you to do what I did…

Instead, read this newsletter to discover what I’d do differently if I had my time again.

This will help you make a smooth transition, and you’ll also get an insight into what pitfalls to avoid when you end up working from home.

What To Do Before You Quit Your Day Job

So, if you’re certain you want to quit your day job, you’ll want to start a high income skill side hustle first.

I define a high income skill as a skill that can make you a MINIMUM of $10K per month.

The main two high income skills I teach are closing (sales) and copywriting (selling using the written word).

These two skills are in high demand online.

But they aren’t the only two skills you could develop.

In fact, there are many others to choose from…

And I share them in this blog article where you’ll also discover how to make your first $10K online >>

When choosing a high income skill, it’s important you choose something that resonates with you.

For example, if you’re more of a technical person, you may like computer programming.

If you love talking to people, closing could be a good option for you.

If you’re creative, then you could try graphic design or copywriting.

The opportunities are endless.

Making The Leap From Job To Self-Employed

So, let’s assume you’re at the point where your high income skill consistently makes you money every month.

You want to get to the point where you’re making double your monthly income.

Here’s why I say this.

Imagine making double your monthly income in your spare time.

Imagine how much more you could make when you quit your job and jumped in feet first.

If you quit before having this set up, you’ll panic when reality kicks in and you have to pay your bills, mortgage, and put food on the table, etc.

Now when you get to the point you’ve fully transitioned, and you’re working from home full time, here are some…

Deadly Working From Home Traps To Avoid

There are a number of traps that could affect your focus, productivity, and personal data security…

And quickly turn your work from home dream into a NIGHTMARE.

One of the biggest traps is knowing when to stop work.

This can be a challenge, especially if you’re on a roll or have a tight deadline.

But in my experience, if you don’t make time for work, rest, and play, you’ll wind up burnt out.

This will destroy any so-called “perks” of working from home.

I highly recommend you read this article on how to avoid the 9 other work from home “traps” >>

To recap, don’t be stupid like I was.

Quitting your job in the heat of the moment may seem like a good idea, but we all have financial responsibilities.

I was lucky everything worked out, but it always pays to have a solid plan, plus it gives you something to work toward.

With the extra money you make, you can save to invest for the future, so it’s a WIN/WIN.

Until next time,

Dan Lok

Kickstart Your Copy Career With AI

by

AI is literally taking over the online space…

In recent times we’ve seen AI write sales copy…

Create amazing images…

Create music, and much more.

In fact, I’ve been using AI in my business for a long time in the form of chatbots and other software apps.

But today, we’ll focus on what AI can do for your copy career.

If you’re already a copywriter this email will help you use AI so you can do market research and finish copy projects faster.

If you’re not a copywriter yet, but want to get started, this newsletter will open your eyes to the possibilities of what AI can do…

And I’m also going to help you get the AI to write you simple forms of copy you can give to prospects to kickstart your copy career.

But first…

What Is ChatGPT?

There are many AI softwares online that can help you write copy, but one of the most well known is ChatGPT.

I’m almost certain you’ve heard of it by now, but if you haven’t, it reached 100 million users just two months after launch.

ChatGPT is trained to follow instructions, and this is why you want to pay close attention to this newsletter.

Because if you give it the wrong or bad instructions the information or copy it gives you won’t be any good.

Why ChatGPT is a Trap For Young Players

So can ChatGPT really produce mountains of copy faster than a human can write one email?

Yes, but as I mentioned above, you have to know what you’re doing.

I can see a lot of people wanting to get into copywriting and thinking the AI will do all the work for them…

So they log into it, ask it to write a few emails and give them to their new client, only to find out the emails didn’t perform well.

You must know how to write good copy BEFORE you use ChatGPT, or you’ll never know if your copy is any good.

But that doesn’t mean if you’re brand new to copy, you can’t play around with the AI and see how it works, etc.

How To Use ChatGPT For Market Research

Before you start any copy project you must know your market inside out.

You must know their goals, aspirations, pains, problems, roadblocks, and obstacles, and more.

And while in the past you may have had to search the internet for hours looking at forums, Facebook groups, online reviews, etc, ChatGPT is a very easy way of finding out the important info in mere minutes.

In this video you’ll discover >>

  • How to use ChatGPT to find out where the biggest demand for products is in the digital marketing space…
  • How to identify the ideal customer for the digital marketing space…
  • How to figure out the biggest pains and problems of people in the digital marketing space…
  • What the biggest trends are in the digital marketing space…

Now, there are an endless number of things you can instruct the AI to do for you, but…

You can literally copy the prompts used in the video, and switch out ‘Digital Marketing’ for a niche of your choice.

PRO TIP: A lot of copywriters hate market research, and just want to start writing, but market research is the most important step. Without the right information, you won’t know what to write and your copy won’t convert.

How To Use ChatGPT To Write Social Media Posts

Now you’ve got the right information about your target audience, you can begin asking the AI to write copy for you.

Ensure you’re still in the same window because the AI remembers everything you’ve asked it.

When you’re ready, click here to watch how to create Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter posts >>


Prompt the AI to write the posts for you and you’re welcome to keep what you like and change what you don’t. 

How To use ChatGPT To Write Sales Emails

Whether they be sales or value emails, every online business needs email.

And now you know how to use AI to write social media captions (another form of copy every online business needs)…

In a moment you’ll discover how to write a sales email using the AI.

As with social media and other forms of copy, there are many prompts you can give the AI, but as you’ll see in this video, the prompts don’t need to be complicated.

These videos are mainly to serve as a guide to give you ideas on what to ask the AI.

How To Write High Converting Cold Emails With ChatGPT

If you plan on reaching out to businesses with your free copy work tailored to their business…

You’ll need to know how to write great cold emails that get opened and responded to.

In this video the presenter gives various prompts to produce a good cold email he’d be happy to send out >>

It also shows you how to prompt the AI to keep what you like and change what you don’t and shorten the email so it’s easier to read.

He also covers how to get the AI to write subject lines.

In closing…

There are some writers who should be very scared of AI, and some who will always have a job.

Ultimately the AI is programmed by humans, and although it can learn a lot and very fast, there are some things it likely will NEVER be able to do.

For instance, it will never truly understand the pain your target prospect is going through day to day.

It simply can’t relate to that, and that’s not the only thing it can’t do.

I wish you all the best in your current or future copy career.

To your success,

Dan Lok

P.S. – FAIR WARNING: Your time for getting into copywriting could be running out.
If you don’t act soon and begin developing the copywriting skill, by the time you do, AI will be light years ahead. 

This will make it even more difficult to get into the industry.

Secret Currency Pays You Over And Over?

by

You may have heard the line “attention is the new currency”…

Well, it’s very true.

You can’t expect anyone to pay you if they don’t first pay you attention.

And with so many coaches, consultants, and experts out there, you must have a way of winning attention, and converting that attention into sales.

So in this week’s newsletter, you’ll discover.

How to start and build a thriving community that supports each other and takes action on your offers.

When we ran our High Ticket Closer Certification™ as a business opportunity, we built an amazing community in our private Facebook group.

People loved being there, and although the intention of the group was more for student development than to make sales, the members were engaged and very supportive of each other.

We kicked anyone out who we deemed “bad apples” who didn’t follow our guidelines, but I digress.

Let’s start with…

5 Benefits Of Building A Thriving Community

This list is not exhaustive, but if you can build a thriving community, you’re automatically more in touch with your members.

You’ll gain valuable feedback to help make the community the best it can be.

You can create a safe place for your prospects to share their learnings and takeaways, where they feel understood and can relate to one another.

You can build amazing relationships with your prospects, which in turn creates high levels of loyalty and retention when they finally become clients.

The Difference Between an Audience and A Community

There are pros and cons of each of the above, and here are some of them.

With an audience your pros are your ability to reach more people.

People can share your content… and you can connect with people on platforms that they’re familiar with.

Some cons include, you could fall victim to algorithm changes, you’re competing for your audiences’ attention, and you have no control over the platform.

If you say something the platform doesn’t like, you could be removed forever.

With a community, you have people’s full attention, you can create a private space for your members free from ridicule from non-members, and you have a higher level of control of the platform.

Some cons may include, it’s more difficult to be discovered, your content is only sharable amongst your members, and your members may not spend much time on the platform, which can make things difficult for them.

Overall however, your community should be more about the people than the platform.

The Most Two Important Questions You Must Know The Answer To

Whether your community is free or paid, you must be able to answer these questions.

Why would anyone want to join your community, and why would they stay?

Your goal for your community should be to give immense value no one else in your niche is offering.

You’re creating a community people would pay to be a member of, even if it’s free.

Help them solve problems… level up in their life… share their wins, and many other things.

But don’t give them access to your best stuff.

If you help them level up, eventually they’ll run into more problems, and to solve those problems, they’ll need to invest in themselves at a higher level.

And who do you think they’ll want to help them? You, or someone they’re not familiar with?

The answer is obvious.

What Platforms Are Best For Your Community?

You wouldn’t be running this type of community, but gamers would prefer platforms like Twitch or Discord, because that’s where they spend most of their time.

You want the platform you choose to be as easy to access as possible for your community members.

Some popular choices are Facebook, Discord, Telegram, Slack, plus a host of others.

Initially we used Facebook for our S.M.A.R.T. Challenges, business events, and Dan on Demand etc…

But in recent years we’ve switched to Telegram.

Why?

Because the reach in Facebook groups isn’t what it used to be…

And most people use Telegram on their phone, which means they’re far more likely to see the messages and interact with the group.

So, do some research on the platform you think would be best for your members.

How To Grow Your Community

There are many ways to grow your community.

You can promote on your social platforms or podcasts to your current audience.

To ensure you get the best prospects inside your group, you may want them to hit certain criteria before they’re approved to enter, because you don’t want a community of tyre kickers.

You can set up paid ads to reach a wider audience, and you can also set up chatbots on your IG or FB pages to funnel people into your group.

There are many other ways to promote it, but these are just a few examples.

How to Never Run Out Of Content To Post

As you’re building a community around your products and services, you should already have a solid idea about who your ideal prospect is.

With that in mind, you want to think of as many things as possible that are important to them.

What are their goals and aspirations?

What are the common roadblocks, obstacles, and problems they’d like to avoid?

Then you want to brainstorm how your products and services help them either reach their goals or avoid common roadblocks.

Then you can pick one and create content around it and relate it back to your products and services every now and then so when they’re ready to achieve more, they know where to go.

You want a high value to pitch ratio, so 1 pitch for every 4 value posts is a good place to start.

That’s not to say your pitch posts won’t contain any value at all, you can mix the two together.

In closing…

Building a community is a great way of setting yourself aside from your competition and building trust, which translates into greater impact and of course more sales.

Until next time, go high ticket,

Want To Survive The Next Recession? (Do This)

by

Back in 2020 when the pandemic threw the world economy into a tailspin…

Everyone thought we were in for a world recession…

And while there we did experience some economic turmoil…

Experts are saying that was nothing compared to what’s around the corner.

They say a depression is a very high possibility.

Because recessions tend to happen every 7 years, we’re long overdue for one…

As the last one was the Global Financial Crisis of 2008.

So in this week’s newsletter, I’ll share ways you can prepare and survive the next recession…

And if you’re savvy, make money and expand your business while others contract theirs.

Why Your Mindset is KEY In a Recession

To kick this off, click here to watch this YouTube shorts video to get into the right mindset going into a recession >>

You see, preparing for a recession is all about how you view it.

Most people see a recession as the end of the world, but there’s a small percentage of people who thrive and make more money in a recession.

How To Recession Proof Your Income and Business

In my career, I’ve been through many economic downturns.

And if you look throughout history, recessions actually get shorter and we bounce back faster.

There’s no telling how long the next recession will last, so here are 3 things you can do to prepare for it >>

I truly believe everyone can survive a recession if they’re well prepared.

But you must start as soon as possible.

Recessions affect everyone in different ways, and most people don’t think a recession will affect them, but they’re wrong.

It’s those people who panic when the recession hits, because they weren’t prepared.

They try to fix their situation, but it’s too late.

So let’s assume, you’ve done the things I mention in the video above.

You’ve got one or more skills you can use to make money…

You continue to stack cash and keep it on hand…

And you have a recession proof business.

Another thing you’ll want to do is pay off any outstanding debt.

As interest rates around the world continue to climb, any debt costs you more to service.

Doing these 4 things puts you in a great position to make money during a recession.

As Warren Buffett says “Bad news is an investor’s best friend”…

So, let’s dive into some ways you can take advantage of the upcoming recession and set yourself up for financial success.

How To Make Millions In The Next Recession

The more skills you have, the better chance your business has of surviving.

With the success of your business, ensure you stack as much cash as possible

They say “cash is trash” and normally I’d agree, but in a recession, cash is KING.

You always need cash in case of emergencies.

But when the time comes, you’ll need cash to invest in investments of your choice.

Most people make money from stocks and real estate in a recession.

Why those investments?

Because as people sell to get out of the market to salvage their net worth or pay back debt…

This is the best time to get a bargain.

DISCLAIMER: In no way is this financial advice. You must always do your due diligence before making any type of investment decision and never invest in anything you don’t understand.

Mark Tilbury is someone who’s lived through a few recessions and been very successful at profiting from them.

You may like to check out this video where he discusses his strategies for recession profits >> 

There are so many great YouTube videos out there on how to prepare and profit from the coming recession.

Feel free to do your own research if you want to dive deeper into this topic.

Recessions come and go, and although they can be challenging, you’re more than capable of weathering this storm and emerging financially stronger.

Until next time, go high ticket,

Don’t Believe 6 Figures Can Happen For You?

by

Quick question…

Do you want to make 6 figures?

If so, then read this email very carefully, because I’m going to break down how to make it not just possible, but probable.

First things first, there’s a lot that goes into hitting your first $10K month…

No matter whether you’re working a job or you have a skill-based business like copywriting or closing.

Why You Must Believe 6 Figures Is Possible

You must first BELIEVE it is possible to make 6 figures in one year.

You must also believe it is possible for YOU.

Seeing others make 6 figures is one thing but if you don’t believe you can, then you never will.

You may have heard me say this before, “You’ll never make $100K with $50K per year habits”...

And it’s very true.

Because if you want to make 6 figures, you’re going to have to cut out all the things that don’t serve you.

TV, video games, partying, and anything else that eats your time but offers little return.

It’s possible you can do those things again after you see some success, but the question is ‘will you still want to?’

You should start viewing yourself as the CEO of your own business, and your business is your life.

Everything in your life should be worked on to be optimized, including your health and relationships, but today, we’ll talk optimizing your wealth.

How To Simplify Your Income Goals

I know $100K+ can seem like a lot of money.

Another part of making 6 figures is believing that it’s easy.

I like to break it down into a daily income goal, which I explain in under 2 minutes here >

If you’re working a job and there’s just no way you could ever get to $10K in that position, then the best option for you is to start a side hustle with a high income skill.

That way you can make money in your free time.

If you want to know what side hustles you could start to make up to $200 per hour, then click here >>

If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ll know I believe a high income skill is the best way to make your first 6 figures.

Different Ways You Can Use Your Skills To Make 6 Figures

Depending on your skillset, you’ll need to structure your deals and pricing in a certain way.

If you’re a closer, you’ll likely make 10% per sale, so you’ll want to partner with clients who have high ticket products or services.

If your client’s package is $5K, and you make $500 per sale, you’ll need to close 5 sales per week to make $10K per month.

In this video, I break down some other ways you can use your skill to make 6 figures >>

If your skill is Copywriting, then there are 3 key things you must do to increase your earning potential and hit 6 figures.

The first two are obvious, but you’d be surprised at how many copywriters either overlook them, or ignore them completely.

The third one is less obvious and VERY counter-intuitive.

If you want to know the 3 things you must do to increase your copywriting income, then click here >>

What To Do If You Feel Like You’re Running Out Of Time

Now, you may feel as though you’re getting older faster, and time is of the essence.

If so, how do you master a skill fast?

If that sounds like you, then click here for the fastest way to master a skill >>

The good thing is you don’t need to master a skill to make 6 figures.

In fact, if you mastered any skill, you’d be making far more than 6 figures with it.

All you need to do is get good enough to make 6 figures.

But What If You’re Younger And Feel Lost In Life, What Do You Do Then?

In my opinion, narrow down a number of things you’d like to try and try each one until you find something you love.

If you’d like to know what one of my successful mentees Stephen did when he was in his early twenties and lost, then click here >>

A Final Piece Of Advice Most Never Think of When Striving For 6 Figures

When I was younger people would ask me all the time to do odd jobs for them.

I told them “I’ll pay for someone to come and help you, but I won’t do it.”

My goals were too important, I had to be working, and the same goes for you.

Let’s say you’re mowing the lawn to save money, and it costs you $25 per hour to hire someone, but your hourly rate is $50. 

You’re not saving $25 per hour, you’re losing $25 per hour.

Because in the time you spent saving $25 you could have made $50.

Just some food for thought.

Now, you’re armed with the right strategies to make 6 figures a reality, I wish you all the best and hope you achieve your goals.

To your success

High Ticket Conversion: What is Conversion Rate Optimization?

by

Imagine this situation for a moment; you’re seeing a record number of visitors to your website. You’re thrilled until you go to check your conversions.

To your dismay, you see that you’re not receiving any more conversions than you did before the huge influx of traffic. What gives? How can you improve your high ticket conversion rate?

This situation highlights the need for conversion rate optimization. Conversion rate optimization is the practice of testing different components on your website to improve your conversion rate.

Your conversion rate is a calculation. It’s the number of people who visit your website divided by the number of people who perform the desired action.

In the article below, you’ll find a helpful guide that will help you understand more about conversion rate optimization. Continue reading to learn more about how to improve your conversion rate and get more people into your marketing funnel.

Conversion Rate Optimization Starts with a Great CTA

Improving your conversion rate means convincing more people to click on certain links or fill out certain forms on your website. When you’re engaging in team building for your business, be sure to hire someone who can write a great call to action (CTA).

Great CTAs work across many different business models. They work whether you’re trying to bring prospects into your marketing funnel or convince website visitors to make a purchase right away.

Be sure to experiment with different types of CTAs. Also, consider showing one CTA to your organic traffic visitors and a different CTA to your paid traffic visitors.

Experiment with Different Landing Page Layouts

Sometimes, the best page for conversion rate optimization may not be your homepage. See if your conversion rate improves if you send website visitors to a dedicated landing page. This is important to keep in mind when you’re running paid ad campaigns.

Strategic thinking related to landing page optimization will help you find the page that drives the most conversions. Try to send website visitors to a landing page that is related to the ad they clicked on, and see if that helps improve your conversion rate.

Use Social Proof to Improve Your Conversion Rate

Social proof includes things like reviews, ratings, and testimonials. You can use these social impact tools to convince website visitors that your product or service is worth looking into. You can pull reviews from review sites and post them on your page or display any awards or badges that your business has earned.

How to Increase Your High Ticket Conversion Rate

The information in the article above should help you figure out how to think about conversion rate optimization and high ticket conversion.

The key is to test different copy, imagery, and button placement until you find the combination that leads to more conversions. If you’re interested in learning how about conversion rate optimization, be sure to reach out to the team at Dan Lok.
