Why Buttons Get More Clicks Than Links

✅ More Visually Striking – Buttons stand out in an email, while links blend into the text.
✅ Mobile-Friendly – Buttons are easier to tap on a phone than a small text link.
✅ Clear Call-to-Action (CTA) – A well-designed button with action-driven text ("Get Your Free Guide") grabs attention better than a basic hyperlink.
✅ Psychological Effect – People associate buttons with taking action, like clicking "Buy Now" or "Sign Up."

When Links Might Work Better

🔹 In plain-text emails, where buttons may look out of place.
🔹 If your audience prefers a conversational, non-salesy approach (e.g., personal outreach emails).
🔹 If you have multiple CTAs in the email, too many buttons can feel cluttered.

Best Strategy? Use Both!

Place a clear button CTA in the middle or near the end of your email.

Also include a hyperlinked CTA in the text for people who prefer clicking links.

What Makes People OPEN Your Email?

✅ A Compelling Subject Line – Short, curiosity-driven, or benefit-focused (e.g., "You’re losing money doing this—here’s how to fix it.")
✅ Personalization – Using the recipient’s name or relevant details (e.g., "John, here’s a quick way to grow your business.")
✅ FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) – Limited-time offers or exclusivity (e.g., "Only 24 hours left—don’t miss out!")
✅ Clear Value Proposition – Promise of a solution (e.g., "Triple your sales with this simple tweak.")
✅ A Recognizable & Trusted Sender Name – If they know you or your brand, they’re more likely to open.
✅ A Well-Timed Send – Emails sent at optimal times (e.g., Tuesday-Thursday mornings) have higher open rates.

What Makes People IGNORE or DELETE Your Email?

❌ Generic or Spammy Subject Lines – (e.g., "FREE MONEY NOW!!!") triggers spam filters.
❌ No Clear Benefit – If the subject line doesn’t show why they should care, they won’t open.
❌ Too Salesy Too Soon – If the email screams “Buy now!” without building interest, it gets ignored.
❌ A Sender They Don’t Recognize – Unknown senders often end up in spam or are deleted.
❌ Too Many Emails – If you email too frequently without value, people stop opening.
❌ Bad Timing – Sending emails at odd hours or weekends when people are less likely to check inboxes.

How to Get More Opens?

📩 Test different subject lines to see what works best.
📩 Keep it short and clear—most people skim their inbox.
📩 Write like a real person, not a robot.
📩 Avoid spam trigger words like “free,” “urgent,” or excessive exclamation marks.
📩 Optimize preview text (the snippet they see before opening).

Introduction

“Ever wonder why people open your emails… but never click your 
You worked hard on your email campaign. People are opening your emails—but no one’s clicking your links. Why?

The truth is, if your links aren’t getting clicks, your email is failing—no matter how many opens you get. 

But don’t worry. In the next few minutes, I’m going to break down exactly why this happens and, more importantly, how to fix it so your emails start driving real results.

1. Weak or Unclear Call-to-Action (CTA)

❌ If your email doesn’t clearly tell people what to do next, they won’t click.
✅ Use a strong CTA:

• "Claim your free guide now →" (instead of "Click here")
• "Book your free consultation" (instead of "Learn more")

 Too Many Choices

❌ If your email has too many links or CTAs, people get overwhelmed and don’t click anything.
✅ Keep it focused on one clear action per email.

Lack of Trust

❌ If the link looks suspicious or leads to an unknown site, people won't risk clicking.
✅ Use trustworthy links (no shortened URLs from unknown services) and mention where the link goes.

No Real Urgency

❌ If people feel they can check it later, they often never do.
✅ Use urgency triggers:

• "Offer expires in 24 hours!"
• "Only 5 spots left!"

 The Email Doesn’t Deliver on Its Promise

❌ If the email subject promises one thing but the content doesn’t match, people won’t bother clicking.
✅ Make sure your email builds up interest and curiosity that leads naturally to the link.

Poor Email Formatting

❌ If the email is too long, too cluttered, or hard to skim, people won’t bother clicking.
✅ Use:

• Short paragraphs
• Bullet points
• Bold text for key takeaways

Not Mobile-Friendly

❌ If your email looks bad on a phone (where most emails are opened), links won’t get clicked.
✅ Make sure buttons are big enough and links are easy to tap.

No Personalization or Relevance

❌ If the email doesn’t feel relevant to the reader, they won’t engage.
✅ Use personalization like their name or location, and segment your audience so emails feel tailored.

Introduction

How many times should you follow up with a lead before closing the sale? Three times? Five times? Maybe more? Well, studies show that most sales reps stop following up too soon—and that’s costing them BIG! Today, I’ll reveal the magic number for follow-ups that actually convert and how you can use this to boost your sales!

If you’ve ever wondered why leads go cold or why prospects don’t buy after the first contact, it’s not because they aren’t interested—it’s because you haven’t followed up enough! Stick around, because by the end of this video, you’ll know exactly how many times you need to follow up and the best strategies to do it effectively.

Follow Up With Sales

n sales, starting back in the 1930s, it was suggested that in order to build enough trust with someone to buy, you needed to reconnect with them 3-5 times. In other words, follow up with them. However, with market saturation over the years, it took longer to build trust.

From the 1930s till the 2000s, studies showed you needed to follow up 3-5 times. Around 2010, that number was 5-8 times. By 2020, that number rose again to 7 to 11 times. It is 2025, so by 2030, you may need to follow up 12-17 times.

Follow Up In Marketing

Because of the overabundance of messages coming at us, it is even more difficult to stand out.

Pew Research found that once someone responded to an ad, it took 22 days and 32 touchpoints, or reconnecting with them 32 times before they would buy.

That means email, SMS, text message, direct mail, phone calls, and social media.

So, if you collect a lead from an interested prospect and send them four emails a day, you will follow up with them 32 times in just eight days.

So, in the coming years, do you think this is going to get better, or is it going to get worse?

Yes, we have more tools that make this easier; however, making sales is going to require more work.

Introduction

What if I told you a struggling beauty salon turned things around and made an extra $500,000—without spending a dime on advertising? Sounds too good to be true, right?

Well, today, I’m going to break down exactly how they did it by partnering with luxury car dealerships—and more importantly, how YOU can use this strategy to grow your own business, no matter what industry you’re in.

If you're looking for free advertising and high-spending clients, keep reading!

Half A Million Dollars From

Most businesses waste money on ads that don’t bring in real customers. But what if I told you that instead of chasing new customers, you could go where your ideal clients already are—and get them to come to you?

That’s exactly what this beauty salon did, and it changed everything for their business. Let’s dive into the details.

There was a high-end beauty salon that was struggling to bring in new clients. Instead of slashing prices or spending money on ads, they decided to study their existing customers.

And guess what they found?

👉 80% of their clients drove luxury cars—BMWs, Audis, and Mercedes.

This gave them an idea.

They reached out to local BMW, Audi, and Mercedes dealerships and made a simple offer:

🚗 For every customer who spent $120,000+ on a new car, the dealership would give them a premium beauty gift basket—courtesy of the salon.

The result? 80 new high-spending clients, and each one spent an average of $6,300 at the salon.

💰 That’s over $500,000 in extra revenue, all from a simple partnership—no ad spend required!

Conclusion

People love the idea of using someone else's customer base, but going from idea to putting this into action is too much for many of you because you already have so many issues you have to handle and to help you get started with this idea, I'd like to promote your offer/product/business to my 150,000+ LA-based customers for FREE to help you gain more business.

Introduction:

Not all traffic sources are equal. For every dollar you invest in advertising, how much do you want to make? A lot of research has been put into this.

If you spent a dollar, would you be happy making $2.50?

You made money. You did not lose money. But how about $15? How about $25?

we’re breaking down the most profitable advertising methods, backed by research. You’ll discover which ad strategies deliver the highest return on investment (ROI)—so you can stop wasting money on ads that don’t work and start maximizing your profits.

Let’s dive in! 

The One Thing:

Not all advertising is created equal. You could put all your money or effort into one traffic method and discover if you've would have put the same resources into another traffic you would have made more money.

Most people do not understand the economics or numbers of their business. This is why you have people promoting trendy marketing tactics like social media—because it’s popular. But have you done the research to determine if it’s the wisest use of your money?

Gary Keller of Keller Real Estate in his book "The One Thing" he asks what it the one thing that will make everything else you do irrelevant?' In other words, what traffic source that will produce so much results that would make all the other traffic sources unnecessary?

We have laid out the research from different research firms that shows the average return for businesses on every dollar invested into advertising depending on the traffic source:

Some of you understand strategy that will get you far greater results than what these number show however, we are only going to look at averages.

Not only will we look at the average profits for every dollar invested, but we will also look at the advantages of certain traffic sources over others, For examples, some traffic sources may be more profitable however, some of these traffic sources may require of you to put more money upfront.

There are some traffic sources that may not be as profitable however, they require less money upfront but often times these traffic source are more popular.

I suggest that you look at traffic sources that are less popular but are just are profitable and at times even more profitable than traffic sources that require more money invested upfront.

Elon Musk's Idiot Index

Love him or hate him, one of Elon Musk super powers is his ability to cut expenses. He has the ability to look at anywhere within his companies and cut expenses which why his companies are so profitable.

For example, Elon Musk has a concept that he calls the idiot index, where in building a rocket, he takes the component cost and the cost of the materials.

So, instead of buying the component from a suppler his engineers figure out how to build it in house.

(i.e, $1,000 component, but the cost of the raw material is $100 that = idiot index of 10 to 1)

SpaceX’s Raptor rockets cost $2,000,000, with the goal of using the idiot index to bring it down to $200,000. However, according to some leaked resources, Elon’s engineers were able to get it down to $250,000.

This To Consider Before Advertising:

The marketplace is filled with opportunities for you to advertising your products or services however, it is unlikely you will experience the results you are looking for first of all because of the high cost of advertising. 

A recent report also indicates that 62% of businesses are not happy with the results they are getting from their Facebook ads because the costs of their ads are to expensive for them to be profitable.

An article from Business Insider shows that over the past couple of years, advertising costs are going up year over year. As of July 2021, five major social media platforms are showing a dramatic increase in advertising costs year-over-year. 

• Google and YouTube’s CPM is up by 108%
• Facebook ad cost had an 89% increase, while the average CPM was $11 
• TikTok’s CPM went up by 92% increase
• and Snapchat had “the lowest” 64% increase in CPM.

Online advertising has gotten really competitive because online advertising is based on a bidding process, so who ever is willing to pay the most gets the traffic, driving the prices up for everyone else.

So you really have to know what you are doing to run profitable ads. This has priced many smaller companies out of being able to advertise because they are spending more then they are making. 

This has force many companies to look for alternative forms of traffic.

Avoid Lazy Marketing

Elon Musk's companies have put in the work to find in efficiencies within the company to cut expenses.

When your competitors are spending $1 to make $2, you can use this knowledge to make $10, $15, or even $40.

I want to invite you to put in the work to cut advertising costs. however, with this research we have done most of the work for you.

Most companies, especially smaller companies use lazy marketing. They need customers, so they run some internet ads. You on the other hand, have the resources to find in efficiencies in your marketing.

For example, For example, Kyle Handy is a real estate agent who spent $22,000 on Google ads, which brought in $41,324 and a profit of $19,324. So, he brought in a return of almost 87%. However, Tony Kelso invested $50,626 in direct mail that brought in $543,390, just shy of 1,120%.

Don't Discount Cold Marketing

The reason advertising is so expensive is because big media channels have built up an audience on their platforms and charge you a hefty fee to broadcast your message to their audience and depending on what is going on in the economy like you saw from the article from "Business Insider" these marketing companies end up raising prices and charging you more.

I don't want you to discount cold marketing.

When you were new in business, you probably had little or no money. So, you did you own marketing networking, making phone calls, sending direct messages on social media and once you started making money you looked for ways to advertise.

You may have grown beyond cold marketing but you can still hire people or build a team of independent sales people who will do cold marketing in your behalf because in most cases, cold marketing is way more profitable than buying traffic.

Understanding Marketing

How well do you understand marketing? Most people understand what they do but they do not understand some of the other important areas of their business this is why strategy is so important.

If you do not have a large marketing budget it is not suggested that you sell an high priced product because the more expensive your product cost the more trust you have to develop before people will buy.

So, you have to advertise to a larger group of people over a longer period of time before anyone will buy with higher priced products.

Instead, it is suggested that you start off with a lower priced product because with a lower priced product you get immediate feedback if your marketing is working.

With higher priced products you may have to spend 10's of 1,000's of dollars before you will know if your marketing is working with lower priced products you have to put in more work but you get almost immediate feedback.

Speed Over Profitability

The beauty of the internet is that it is fast.

Some business value speed over profitability. For business that use what is known as a "loss leader" you may need to take the revenue from your "loss leaders" and re-invest it into advertising to make more money faster because of the speed you make money this may be more valuable to you than pyrotiablity.

Research

The feedback we have provided is from the latest research from multiple resources and research firm. The purpose of this research is to provide you with the information you need to make the most intelligent choices for your business marketing.

Search Marketing

Search: The advantage of search-based advertising is that traffic from search engines consists of an audience actively looking to buy, unlike most advertising, which is what is called interruption advertising, such as what happens on social media and TV.

Paid Social Media Ads:

There is a lot of hype regarding social media advertising because these channels have massive audiences. However, due to the sheer volume of messages bombarding us, many ads go unnoticed. Chet Holmes International posted a report in 2023 stating that in 2008, it took someone seeing our ads 5-8 times before remembering us. However, today, with the overwhelming amount of messages on social media, it takes someone seeing our ads 500 times before they remember us.

But on social media, that's why we are often only charged per click. However, when the economy is good, due to the popularity of social media, the top social media companies raise their prices. According to an article from Business Insider in July 2021, five major social media platforms are showing a dramatic increase in advertising costs year-over-year.

However, this is why skill is important because I personally know people who earn a return of $4.80 for every dollar they spend on social media advertising.
