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

This is round two talking with Bob Serling on our podcast. Bob has worked with fun product ideas like skateboards and toys over the years and alongside guys like Tony Hawk. He’ll explain why it’s easier than you think to reach out to companies, big and small with your ideas and the best way to approach them, as well as why inventing is such a great side hustle for entrepreneurs.
On the low end, Bob has made $30-$40 thousand a year and on the high end and as much as $1.5 million. He’s got a proprietary process that has 37 questions which will stimulate ideas and discusses how he uses this method to come up with ideas for existing products that will make them better, easier to use or simply more fun the end user.
If you have any ounce of interest in inventing at all, you’ll want to listen to Bob’s take on his process and how he has succeeded without spending a lot of money upfront, hiring expensive patent attorneys or sourcing out costly prototypes.

We’re back with another round of our therapy sessions. In this episode, we dive deep into two main things: how we turn our companion into a physical newsletter and how we get the names you see on this show and create a conversation to do advisories and rep deals, among other things.
As always, we’ve been testing out a lot of new strategies and there are some great tidbits on the latest podcasting news and discoveries as well as how to drive traffic to your existing podcast. And if you don’t have a podcast yet? We’ve got that covered for you as well.
In addition, we talk about leveraging your existing network as well as reaching out to people in, what we refer to as a “Dream 100” list, to expand your outreach for a win-win connection. We also talk about sites we use, books we’ve read over and over again, and the multiple connections we’ve made over the years and how we leverage our media properties in a very unique way.
“The way we do podcasting is so unique from what everybody else is doing out there, we’re not making all our money off sponsors, we’re making most of our money off affiliate marketing.” - Matt Wolfe
“The monetization part is where we are really putting a lot of our time and energy...so that we can go and help other companies who have a podcast monetize to a much greater degree.” - Joe Fier

Who would ever guess that a former church pastor is now a leading authority on Facebook advertising? Twenty years ago, Nicholas Kusmich was doing just that and was looking for ways to supplement his income. So he started an online business which leads to internet marketing, creation of an ebook, and then a course.
Present day, Nicholas runs intensive classes as well as runs an agency that helps businesses with Facebook consulting. He focuses on how to get someone off Facebook, what lead magnets should be used to get them on a list, and how to retarget them later. He also explains how Facebook is still the most underpriced, direct response place to advertise among all the other channels.
Nicholas has great insights about Facebook advertising where he goes beyond content marketing and dives into how to create a great “godfather” offer, i.e. something so good you can’t refuse. His enthusiasm for advertising is contagious and it’s no wonder he is one of today’s leading Facebook ads strategists.
