Hustle & Flowchart: Mastering Business & Enjoying the Journey

The Hustle & Flowchart Podcast with Joe Fier is all about how to build a business so it gives you the freedom and fuel for your life. We discuss systems, mindset tweaks, reframes, and strategies for entrepreneurs (and really anyone) to enjoy the process of being in business and having fun. This isn't for the entrepreneur looking to build a billion dollar business, rather someone who is looking to build systems that work for you, so you can make more money than you need just by working part-time. I was a chronic hustle-mode kinda guy and I want to share my experiences and mentors I've met along the way to help you reframe things so you can be the most effective as an entrepreneur. Join in conversations with Joe Fier and various mentors sharing principles and strategies to put this into action for yourself. Please enjoy and share with your friends! Listen Notes

Aaron Biblow & Triston Goodwin have discovered a unique way to use YouTube for promotion, called the Video Flywheel. As the name suggests, it’s a circular funnel pattern that keeps the viewers within a loop where they are shown great information, while staying on the YouTube platform, until the very end for the offer. 

This process works for most everything and they have even helped a guy selling over half a million dollars of bricks on YouTube as well as helped another get a job offer within just a few weeks.  

Triston is the tech guy, building it all behind the scenes, while Aaron has a knack for the dynamic ideas with the process. Together they make a great team and have created a system which is now taking advantage of a platform, that has tons of traffic but is also ripe for to draw viewers into your content as the cost per acquisition is still low and the competition is not saturated.  Check out this episode to see what the video flywheel is all about as well as learning tactics to set your own videos apart and be on YouTube’s good side in order to get a better, organic reach.  

Our record for the client who has the most expensive offer is, we are using the flywheel to promote a $10,000 offer straight from Youtube. No upsell, no tripwire, no get on my list...just book a call, pay $10,000.” - Triston Goodwin

YouTube is very competitive, but it’s one of the least saturated places right now, especially for online marketing” - Aaron Biblow

Some Topics We Discussed Include:
