See, happy Monday.
0:04
Let me know if you can hear my voice and see my screen.
0:12
Checking the chat so I can see.
0:16
Okay, yes.
0:17
Hey, Brent.
0:17
Hey, Michelle.
0:19
Awesome.
0:20
All right.
0:21
So we—hey, Steve.
0:24
We should have some new members with us today.
0:29
Our buddies Chris Munch and Jay Cruz came to us and wanted to share the Small Batch system opportunity with their community, and since we are ride or die with them—we've worked with Chris and Jay for a decade and a half through Press Cable, Amplifier, Drop Serv—we couldn't say no.
0:58
So we put together a cool package with them that the entire Small Batch team is going to benefit from, and we'll talk about that today.
1:10
Hey everybody, Darren, Sheldon, Walt, and I hope you saw I've sent out an email posted in the Facebook group that Brian Anderson will be joining us today for some very cool, almost like magic, AI training. If you were on that call with Chris and Jay, it’s about the easy creation of digital assets using AI for monetization purposes. So he's teaching us. And I love these sessions because they make me better.
1:49
I learn something from Brian every time he starts showing me what he's doing with AI. It's incredible.
1:56
So he's going to be joining us in a few minutes to go through, live, with Q&A, interactive building of these digital assets. So I'm going to give it a couple of minutes to let everybody log in.
2:14
And then I'll go over some quick housekeeping stuff, answer some questions, and then I'll turn it over to Brian once we get to that point.
2:21
Everybody good?
2:29
Okay.
2:29
So what we're going to cover today is we have created what we're calling the Enhanced B2B and B2C Solar Campaigns, okay?
2:37
So what we've done is we've taken a standard boilerplate marketing message and shown what we can do when we use AI to do a little bit of research into the topic.
2:57
To make it more topical and more impactful.
3:01
And we used solar as an example, and we have released those campaigns into the membership area.
3:10
And then of course, Brian is going to be presenting “Building a Profitable Website with AI.”
3:18
All right, so for the Enhanced Solar Campaigns, you're going to find those under Resources: the 10 Email B2C Solar Campaign for Homeowners, and the Enhanced 10 Email Campaign B2B Solar Campaign for you, as a business marketing to a solar business, to get their business, to get them to work with you to help them generate leads.
3:48
And those are in the members area already, and we're rolling them out.
3:52
If you have your Small Batch CRM created, we'll get that.
3:58
Let me see.
4:05
I've got—yep, so it's a 10-day email sequence that targets homeowners considering solar installation, leveraging the “One Big Beautiful Bill” Act, eliminating—that is, elimination of—the 30 percent solar tax credit on December 31, 2025.
4:20
So what that's an example of is instead of just reaching out to homeowners and saying, hey, you need solar, right?
4:27
Hey, let's go green.
4:28
Let's save you some money, right?
4:29
We use AI to do some research on marketing solar, like what's going on in the solar industry.
4:40
And what we learned, thank you Manus and ChatGBT, is that the “One Big Beautiful Bill” that got passed cut the government subsidies that were giving homeowners this huge tax credit for installing solar.
4:59
Basically, a lot of times it enabled homeowners to get solar installed for net free, right?
5:08
Because the government incentivized them to use solar by giving them a tax credit.
5:14
So they would pay for their solar, get it installed, prove that it was installed, and then get a tax credit for it, netting out to zero. The “Big Beautiful Bill” is doing away with that, and you know that's frustrating.
5:27
But what it gives us is urgency and FOMO, right?
5:34
So targeting both homeowners to get this done before the end of the year is beneficial to solar companies, but also the communication that we are bringing to the solar businesses is that we're going to help you capitalize on this bad news, turn negative into a positive, right?
5:57
We're coming to you with a business plan.
5:59
We have an angle, and we are educated and informed on your business.
6:04
We can help you, right?
6:06
So the email content to the businesses focuses on: this is how we're going to get you more business.
6:15
Right?
6:15
So it creates that same FOMO urgency in the solar agencies to hire you so that they don't miss out on this business.
6:26
Does it make sense?
6:31
Right?
6:32
And so, the way our multi-touch email campaigns work is in Small Batch, one email campaign can be set up per day, per list, right?
6:41
As a Small Batch.
6:42
Now you can scale that up and you can do as many as you want, as many as you have sender addresses. You could do as many campaigns as you want, right?
6:50
But one email address is sending these emails.
6:52
Because it's a 10-email campaign, that’s Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday—that's two full weeks.
7:01
So you can be one and done.
7:05
You request a list of solar agencies, right?
7:07
And then request a done-for-you email campaign to those solar agencies, right?
7:14
This is gonna take you five minutes.
7:17
You've got two weeks of email set up for just filling out that five-minute list.
7:22
Any questions about that?
7:23
Oh, Brian's here.
7:25
Let me jump in, give him a little unmute action.
7:37
All right.
7:37
All right, Brett says yes, cool.
7:38
Makes sense with that email campaign, awesome.
7:40
So does everybody think that you can spend five minutes setting up a list and requesting a done-for-you email campaign to start generating business for solar?
7:50
Does that sound like something that is within the realm?
7:56
Any hurdles or obstacles?
8:00
Britt says, great, awesome.
8:03
Brian, I think I got you promoted, but it just says that you're self-muted.
8:08
So I'm not talking over you, I promise.
8:10
I just can't hear you.
8:11
Oh, there he goes.
8:12
I was just listening.
8:15
All right, well, I was just telling everybody about how I used AI to learn about the solar industry so that I could create super specific, hyper-targeted messaging to land the business and to help them land clients of their own.
8:33
So that was my intro into how AI helps far beyond just writing emails.
8:38
They help make you write short.
8:41
That's exactly what we're going to do.
8:44
Alright, well, will you make me a presenter?
8:48
I have a fancy welcome screen for you.
8:58
Okay.
8:58
I didn't want to waste that.
9:01
Hang on.
9:02
Oh my.
9:04
Awesome, guys. Hey, morning.
9:06
Alright.
9:07
Well, morning for some people.
9:10
Some of you jokers, it's dinnertime or later.
9:16
So, all right, what screen am I showing?
9:19
Okay, hang on, Vanessa, how about screen?
9:27
What do you see now, Vanessa, hello?
9:36
Sorry, I was muted.
9:37
Your Small Batch System, Brian Anderson slide.
9:39
Okay, great, okay.
9:41
So yeah, you guys, so what we're gonna do, we're just really brief.
9:44
I mean, because this is really easy.
9:46
So I got a couple slides I just made.
9:49
Let's see, so we're going to talk about monetizing all this AI. Like Vanessa said, the content is definitely a great gateway into AI, right? Helping you improve your emails, or write your emails, or your swipes, or your subject lines, or any kind of copy you want. It's a great starting point, but what about beyond that, right? And so if you remember a week or two ago, at most, we started talking about the whole concept of using AI to build a website and to sell it over and over again.
10:26
If you remember that, just give me a one right now. I want to make sure everybody's on the same page. Hey, Steve Brantz, good to see you.
10:34
So we talked about this on a sales call, we talked about this in our Forge group, which is a separate group, but we've talked about it in Small Batch before.
10:43
But I wanted to do it to finish. Okay, I've seen some ones come in. I'm making sure you guys are getting it.
10:50
Yeah, it also helps me. And if you don't remember this, totally cool.
10:54
Just, yeah, like Connie just said—hey, Connie, good to see you—she said, missed it.
10:59
This is it in a nutshell.
11:00
So we said, let's figure out how we can use Small Batch, sell a service or a product, and use AI to fulfill. And that was kind of the premise.
11:13
We can even use AI to write the emails, but I'll let Vanessa do that another time.
11:17
That's super simple.
11:19
We'll just do them for you.
11:20
You don't even have to think about it.
11:22
So we're going to build this website.
11:25
And we talked about the trade niches.
11:27
We talked about it just because they're easy to make a fast decision, you guys.
11:32
And that's why I typically like them.
11:35
Hey, Starnanda.
11:35
Good to see you as well.
11:37
I remember you were on the call.
11:38
So what we're going to do is build this site with a prompt and then we're going to sell it.
11:45
My younger brother used to have an HVAC business that he sold this past fall of ‘24.
11:51
And so I always pick on HVAC because I at least have a lot of firsthand knowledge as an agency owner, right?
11:58
So I know a lot about it. So let's look at that.
12:03
All right. Yeah, so I used Grok to help me. I wrote a prompt and I had Grok help me refine it.
12:14
Then I used Manus. So Grok is the AI from xAI from Elon Musk inside of Twitter, or X now.
12:23
Manus is not really an LLM. It's more of like a super agent, right?
12:27
Think of it as an agent, and I love it. I think it's out of Singapore.
12:32
I've been using that for quite a while now.
12:36
I got in at the very beginning.
12:38
Somebody was nice enough to invite me right when they launched.
12:40
And I've had a lot of fun with that.
12:43
And in Small Batch to do all the marketing.
12:47
So Connie, honestly, my brother has to stay on.
12:50
He sold it.
12:51
He got a few million bucks and he got half upfront.
12:56
She was asking, what does he do now?
12:58
And yeah, he founded it in 2008.
13:01
And he was doing all right making a quarter million or so a year, but it's a lot of work, right?
13:06
It's physical work and he's early 50s.
13:09
He’s having some back problems and, you know, the usual things that happen to us. And he took half upfront and then he gets two or three years of a pretty nice chunk each year to pay him out the balance. And he agreed to stay a year, which actually is up in November, I believe, first part of November. And at that point, I don't know what he's going to do.
13:33
I know he's going to Europe for a few weeks on a holiday, but other than that, I don't know much.
13:38
His plan is to put the money in the bank, invest it, and live off the proceeds with his military retirement and stuff. But I don't 100% know how the math works for him yet.
13:48
But yeah, so okay, on building our site, you guys, we're going to use Grok.
13:51
I wrote the prompt, real conversational. I let Grok give me some extra stuff, then I built the site this morning with Manus, and then we'll use Small Batch to send. We're going to use Small Batch to send.
14:08
So first, pick a niche, right? So basic.
14:12
You've heard it on a bazillion webinars from good marketers, bad marketers, and everybody in between.
14:18
The riches are in the niches, all that kind of stuff. Well, the reason we're going to pick a niche here is, one, we're going to build a website, and we're going to market that website to different companies around the country, right?
14:32
Different companies around the country in the same niche.
14:36
The goal would be to sell it 5, 10, 15 times, right?
14:41
We want to build it once, which is pretty easy, and then we want to sell it repeatedly.
14:48
All right, easy.
14:49
I think we all get that.
14:52
So we need to design the prompt.
14:55
And this can be as basic as you want, or you can dial it in.
14:59
And I'll show you what I did.
15:00
I did a mix.
15:02
I said, can you build a professional, polished—I even spelled it wrong—website for my HVAC company?
15:08
My current website is located in Peachtree City, Georgia, at that link.
15:12
And I just happen to know a guy that works at that company.
15:15
I know the owner.
15:17
Some competitors include, and I named three local competitors.
15:21
You don't have to do that by any means.
15:23
I'm so sorry. Are you showing slides?
15:27
Yeah.
15:28
They're not changing. I'm sorry.
15:29
None of my slides have moved. Thank you.
15:31
Please interrupt in the future way faster.
15:34
I just figured out that you were.
15:36
Really fast, monetizing AI, we talked about that.
15:39
We're going to build a website, and we're going to—tell me if they're showing, Vanessa.
15:45
We're going to build a website and then we're going to sell it repeatedly?
15:48
Yeah, they are. They're gorgeous.
15:51
All right. Good deal. Thanks, you guys.
15:53
All right. So that's what we're going to do.
15:54
We're going to build a website.
15:55
We're going to sell it repeatedly.
15:57
I told you I used some AI.
16:01
The ones I used, I have them on the screen.
16:03
I don't want you to have to remember, and I'm just going to give you the presentation.
16:06
Don't write anything down.
16:07
Don't spend any time on any of that.
16:10
So Grok, I'll give you the prompt.
16:12
I used Manus to build it, and in Small Batch we're going to use it to send.
16:19
We're going to pick a niche like we talked about, like Connie and I were talking about my brother's HVAC company, so I picked HVAC. And we're going to design the prompt, right? Let's look at the prompt. You should see, “Can you build a professional polish?”
16:36
The word polish is spelled wrong. Website, I listed some competitors.
16:41
I wanted a professional site that will rank high for local searches, with a strong call to action and lead capture above the fold.
16:48
I put some key points to focus on.
16:52
And I just—I have about two pages of that, right?
16:55
And you can see the rest on the structure of what I wanted.
16:59
You can change any of this, right?
17:01
This is just the prompt that I used, but we gotta figure out how much we’re gonna charge.
17:06
This is probably the most fun part of it, other than the actual design and coding.
17:11
So if you think about it, what would you charge for a website?
17:16
If I said, Connie, I want you to build—or Connie, you're going to propose to me for my company—a website, let's say it's HVAC or roofing or whatever, and it's going to be custom-built for me.
17:32
It's going to be refined, polished, custom-coded.
17:35
We could do it in WordPress, we could do it in—it doesn't matter, right?
17:39
What would you want to charge? And I know over the years so many people have struggled on this exact question. There is no wrong answer. So I want everybody on the call—go ahead and let me know what you would want to charge to build this. Let's say you were a skilled designer, coder, right? Or websites were your game. What are you going to charge?
18:01
Brent said 1K. Brent, you can go way more, man.
18:06
I used to say 1K too, so I am not picking on you, because I would have done the same thing. 2,500, Darren said.
18:16
A couple of years ago, it would be 2 to 4K, but now 3K, Grace.
18:19
All right, let me show you. I actually wanted to take Brian's bias out, or any of your biases out. So I put this into Grok this morning, and I gave it a query on pricing. I described what we were going to do, and I said, include the first-year hosting, maintenance, custom-coded. It can be WordPress, or it can be custom HTML and JavaScript, right?
18:46
This is what it came up with.
18:49
This isn't me. This is one AI.
18:53
I would challenge you to—I'll give you the questions—and you could ask the other AIs the same thing.
19:00
Pretty reasonable, because I know I've spent 5 to 10,000 on a lot of websites.
19:04
Now, you could absolutely spend a thousand on a lot of websites.
19:08
All depends on what you give and how you position things.
19:12
I kind of agree with Gary.
19:13
Gary Bratz just said at least 5K.
19:16
Think about it.
19:17
If you're gonna do this work, this isn't a cookie-cutter where you install a theme, change the name of a theme, and insert an image, right?
19:24
If you're going to do all this work with integrated lead capture, chat, testimonials—all these kinds of stuff—you’re going to want to get paid.
19:34
$5,900 to $9,400 is what Grok says.
19:37
I wouldn't say—I mean, we could probably turn this into a $9,400 to $15,000 website by tweaking the deliverable and the code, but I was trying to stay in the mid-range, right?
19:51
I was looking to be—it’s going to vary by market. It’s going to vary by niche.
19:57
Good comment from Edwin on it. Vary by region, yes. But all of us, especially you guys, tend to undercharge.
20:06
You’ve probably heard that before. They’re right. We’re all guilty of this, myself included.
20:13
When I go to a local company that isn’t coming out of the internet marketing world, they're, if not triple, what I would have charged myself.
20:25
Fascinating.
20:26
Brent said, Brian, but AI is going to do all the building, right?
20:28
Yes.
20:29
Yes, exactly.
20:31
And when I don't like something on AI, I tell it I don't like it, and we just redo it.
20:36
All right, so let's go to the next slide.
20:46
So for a highly customized HVAC website, content creation, first-year hosting, first-year maintenance—you could argue $7,700 on an invoice all day long for all the stuff you see here, right?
21:05
Now, we're not going to charge $7,700, right? We're trying to set a bar.
21:09
We're trying to create in the prospect's mind what they would pay for the site, okay?
21:16
That's the goal right now. We're trying to get it. What would they pay? Okay.
21:28
All right, so the offer. We're going to come up with that. What do you guys think?
21:32
Let's take into account there is AI now.
21:34
There are all these things.
21:36
Remember, 98% of the country—the small business owners—they may know there's AI, but you know what they think with AI?
21:42
They think copy.
21:44
Or they think, let me ask you a question like it's Google part two, Google version two, right?
21:50
What do you think the thing is realistically worth, right?
21:54
If this site we're gonna build is worth seventy-something, a hundred bucks, what would you charge?
22:01
Now, obviously, we're going to come in under. The goal is to come in under this number.
22:04
What would you guys charge?
22:06
There's no wrong answer.
22:08
No wrong answer.
22:10
The only wrong answer is one you didn’t give me.
22:12
What would you charge for this?
22:14
You're going to do all this work.
22:15
What would you charge?
22:16
You have to do it for a guy.
22:17
You're meeting him at lunch.
22:18
You're going to a burger place.
22:20
You guys are meeting.
22:21
They’ll talk about it today.
22:23
And he or she is going to buy, provided the price is right.
22:28
What are you going to charge?
22:29
What is your number?
22:35
Aaron just said, Brian, I had a great value, $3,500.
22:38
Brent said, now I get it.
22:40
I get it, Brian. I know more, 5,000.
22:42
All right, Connie, I would love to get 3,500, okay?
22:46
I agree with you guys, spot on in that range—that 3,500 to 5K—spot on.
22:52
However, at what price does it become ludicrous?
22:58
Like, holy cow—what's the holy cow price?
23:02
Is it $2,500? Is it $2,000? Obviously, the lower the better, right? But if you go too low, you risk getting lumped in with the cookie-cutter crap template stuff.
23:18
Connie said $1,000 is like the no-brainer price for her. I would say $1,000 to $2,500 is the answer to that question.
23:26
There's no one right answer, okay? There is no one right answer. A thousand to twenty-five hundred, okay. All right, so we would then articulate in the emails the offer. We would highlight the value, articulate the offer, and use scarcity and all those kinds of things. And I'm gonna challenge Vanessa to create an email campaign that does just that. And Vanessa, it's gonna be your call what you charge, okay? You're gonna charge a thousand—maybe work on it while we're talking right now—you can charge a thousand, you can charge 2,500, but I want like a five to seven-part email campaign that sells that HVAC website to other HVAC owners. Does that make sense? See if she's there.
24:19
She might have run off, you guys, to go get a coffee or something. Vanessa, are you there?
24:22
I was double muted. Yes, I got it.
24:24
I'm working on the pricing of the email campaign and building it right now.
24:28
All right. Awesome. And you can show that when you're done, but I'm going to do this because I want to walk through. You guys, she's really good at this. She's great at it, actually. Let me give her credit.
24:37
Okay, so we're going to do the offer. You're going to request a campaign, and voila, we're going to send it out.
24:45
Now, I would mail two to three markets at a time.
24:49
So imagine you're sending out, I don't know, 75 emails in three markets at a time to, I don't know, three mid-markets. It's Macon, Georgia; Atlanta, Georgia; Augusta, Georgia. Or Macon, Savannah, and Augusta, more mid-market, right?
25:05
And you're going to hit these guys.
25:07
The goal is to sell at least one in that market.
25:13
Our goal, Connie, because you weren't on the original kind of discussion, is to sell this website. We're going to build it once and sell it multiple times.
25:23
So if it's $1,000, I want to sell at least five a day, maybe seven.
25:29
If it's $2,500, I want to sell at least three a day.
25:33
That's the goal.
25:34
I want five to ten thousand dollars a day off the campaign.
25:38
That's my goal in my head, right?
25:43
Everybody can change these numbers to be theirs, right?
25:46
All right.
25:47
So we're going to do what we're talking about.
25:50
So, I created a site. It's sitting at that link, but let me just pull it up. Hang on a sec.
25:59
I did this around, I don't know, 11:30. I did it right before the call so it’d be fresh.
26:06
Let's see. Let's see. Okay. I'm going to share my screen. Hang on.
26:32
Sometimes I get confused on here, on where I'm sharing.
26:40
Here it is.
26:41
All right.
26:42
Stop.
26:44
I'm going to show—no, main screen.
26:50
All right, let's try this again.
26:58
Nope, not that screen.
26:59
You'd be surprised, when you have too many screens, it gets a little out of hand.
27:02
Okay, here we go.
27:04
I didn't like its image, so I told it to go back and make me some other images.
27:07
That's what I was doing right there.
27:16
Let me show you. So this is what it originally came up with.
27:22
This is the coded site.
27:25
I didn't like that image—that lead image, obviously.
27:28
It's probably fine if you take off that shading.
27:31
I think it would be fine without the shading.
27:34
Our services, about the company, sub-markets and services, get in touch, right?
27:47
All right. So, I challenged it to build me a new image for the splash screen right now.
27:59
So, let's see where we are. All right. It's thinking, yeah, it's making it live.
28:08
You can see it right now on the right, doing the coding.
28:13
So this is the actual coding happening in real time.
28:23
Let's give it a second.
28:31
Come on.
28:32
It's deploying.
28:33
It's going to redeploy it, and then we can look at it.
28:35
Now, we can play with this over and over again by having a conversation with the AI, right?
28:41
And we can tweak it repeatedly.
28:44
George, while we're waiting on this—looks like it's done.
28:47
George just said, “By different markets, do you mean, for example, AC and roofing?”
28:51
No, I was thinking geographically.
28:53
I like the—okay, let me hit—those morons, they did the same thing.
29:02
I'll publish it. Hang on.
29:04
This is why it's not perfect, right?
29:05
You actually have to—you can see the current image.
29:12
Let's see this. You can see the current image is like a family, “Your most trusted firm.”
29:23
I just don't like this overlay shading on it.
29:26
And it didn't understand what I meant. Because now if I hit refresh, let's see, you can see the new image there.
29:56
All right, let me try to be clear. Okay.
29:59
I like the image.
30:01
However, I do not like the—what should I call this, Venice? What do you think this is called? It's doing something to the image.
30:09
What's the word I'm looking for?
30:11
Optimizing.
30:13
I do not like the way the image is fading.
30:17
In your example, you showed me it's a crisp image.
30:25
This one on the live site is subdued and almost muted in color.
30:36
Let me see if it can understand what I'm saying.
30:41
So we continue to have a discussion.
30:43
You're absolutely right.
30:44
The issue is I'm applying a CSS overlay gradient.
30:48
That's the word—a gradient—on top of the image, which is making it look faded and muted.
30:53
So now it's going to fix it, right?
31:01
Oh, I see it. Thank you, guys.
31:03
The gradient. Yeah, Sheldon, thank you.
31:05
And Gerald with filtering. I see it.
31:07
Okay, overlay.
31:09
Yeah, and then we're going to change it again because somebody brought up a really good point.
31:13
I don't know how many of you guys have ever seen ACs sitting out by the road, right?
31:33
Let's revert back to the photo, to the original photo with the house and the family. Remove the—I just canceled it in the middle.
31:56
Because I think this original picture—see where it's at—this original picture is better.
32:07
I'll give it a second. It'll show me again.
32:13
Yeah. The picture is good, just without the gradient.
32:16
That's it. Yeah, the picture was actually good the first time.
32:25
We'll give it a few seconds.
32:27
It's going to swap it out.
32:29
You can see it playing around on the sandbox, if you will.
32:34
It's going to redeploy it.
32:43
So this process is fairly quick, less than an hour, even with us querying and changing things.
32:59
Okay, I've reverted the hero image to the original family.
33:02
I removed the CSS overlay. It's transparent.
33:05
All right, you can see it telling me all this.
33:08
You should—what did it just say?
33:11
Oh, so much better, geez.
33:14
I'm not a rocket scientist, but let me tell you, that is much better. And there's other little changes, right? Like the way the words are on their faces and stuff. I would change some of that, right? You get the gist, you get the gist, right? When you go into the live version, in the bottom right, in that tweak, in the bottom right little pop-up—does that take you right back into editing?
33:56
Oh my gosh.
34:03
Oh wow.
34:04
What's the word I want to use instead of trusted?
34:06
Your most… how about heating?
34:11
Like that.
34:12
Oh, because it's easy to give instruction, but that makes it even easier.
34:17
Sometimes it's a lot. It's okay.
34:20
24 by—you know, we can edit any of these, right?
34:22
We can tweak these, you know—boom.
34:37
That's cool.
34:38
Yeah, super cool, you guys, right?
34:40
We can do this in less than an hour.
34:42
We can build this custom.
34:44
We can change things around, change pictures.
34:47
All right, now let's go back.
34:55
This is much closer now.
34:58
I need interior pages for services.
35:08
And how about “about”? Please use filler text for now on the About page. For services, please SEO optimize the content to highlight the actual HVAC work we do,
35:34
layering in the geographic terms that will help the site be found.
35:45
For instance, we are based in Peachtree City, Georgia.
35:51
Neighboring towns include—
35:55
Really easy, not much to this.
36:09
Give it a little more work to do.
36:11
We're just talking, we're just having conversation. None of this is hard. Now it's going to code the pages.
36:22
We're not doing any of this. Now, for instance, Grok won't do this.
36:27
Grok won't build the site.
36:29
And I've found, out of all the tools that build stuff, that I just like this one the best. As a non-developer, this is just easy to do. Less than an hour.
36:40
I'm talking less than an hour writing little partial phrases and then fixing stupid things, right?
36:48
And by doing that, you're going to end up with a finished product.
36:52
And when the product's finished, right?
36:59
When the product's finished, we then run the campaign.
37:03
And the goal—let's say it's a thousand-dollar website, to Connie's point—we want to sell five, six, seven.
37:11
I don't know, my daughter is fascinated.
37:12
There's some TikTok thing with the number six and seven, and she tries to get me to say six and seven all day, you guys. I don't know.
37:20
It's like a Gen Alpha thing, I think.
37:22
Maybe Gen Z, I'm not sure.
37:24
But we're going to get between 5 and 7K a day, right?
37:28
That's what we want to do.
37:30
We want to build value on a 7K site, highlight all the value, and then we're going to—boom—it's a thousand dollars, half upfront, half when we're done deploying it. Done.
37:40
And the goal is to do that over and over again.
37:42
And then the question we had a minute ago about, could we do this in other markets?
37:48
Absolutely.
37:49
You should do it for a fencing company, a pool cleaning company.
37:52
You should do it for any of those companies.
37:56
All right, so you get a great question from Maurice who said, “Sorry, I just got here.”
38:06
I'm in the United Kingdom.
38:08
Maurice, where in the UK are you?
38:09
But can I do this for UK businesses, or maybe across Europe? You can absolutely do it across Europe. No reason you couldn't.
38:19
This is a product, an AI called Manus.
38:24
And this is one I've been using now—it feels like forever—but it's probably only four or five months. I don't remember how long it's been.
38:32
I'll have to look and see when I first got involved with it.
38:38
So Vanessa, what I want to do is put a link in the members area for people. Like when you highlight this section, people can grab Manus. There's a free and a paid version, you guys.
38:49
I think even the paid version I only pay $20 for, so not very much. And really, really good to do these kinds of tasks.
39:00
It's also, for me—Vanessa and I have done—I had it write an 85-page book in less than 10 minutes based on a paragraph idea.
39:10
And the book was actually really, really good.
39:14
I'm a reasonably good writer, and it's as good or better than I could have done.
39:18
And it did a whole book in less than 10 minutes.
39:22
Now, that's not what we're here to talk about.
39:24
However, we will a different day, because imagine another thing where you're giving them a lead magnet to give to clients, and it's free if they do X, Y, and Z, right?
39:36
The whole goal is to have an irresistible offer, letting AI do the work that you sell multiple times a day, a week.
39:43
That's it.
39:45
That's all we're doing.
39:46
That is it.
39:48
And then with Small Batch, we're gonna do the lifting, mailing out.
39:52
You're gonna tell us, “Oh, Brian, I want to hit Savannah, and I want to hit Augusta, Georgia, and Macon, Georgia.”
39:59
And maybe you're gonna mail to a couple hundred AC companies, and maybe you sell six.
40:04
Maybe you sell seven. Very, very easy to do. Seven, there you go, right? Oh, Vanessa, you're a comedian.
40:12
All right, but that is the root of what we're doing.
40:17
It's so easy, you guys. It's so easy. I don't know how to tell you. You're probably thinking, no, it's not, and I'm like, yes, it is. We'll do this till we're blue in the face, till every one of you can do it.
40:31
It will help you. It's just very, very simple, and the quality that you can produce.
40:38
Now, I build SaaS applications.
40:42
I build a flyer.
40:43
Let me see if I have this flyer.
40:45
No, that's not the good one.
40:51
Here's this book.
40:53
This is a 19-pager I did.
40:57
It's actually a fascinating little short story.
41:00
But anyway, back to this. We can do this all day long, and the goal is to monetize it.
41:11
Let's see.
41:13
All right, Vanessa, so you're going to put the links to the AIs, you're going to put the presentation in there.
41:17
What I want you to do is I want to give you control, and I want to look at now—I want to look at the alternative, which is Vanessa, and we'll do this for all of you.
41:32
We will. If you want to do your own, you can, or we'll do it for you and we'll just send out the emails.
41:40
All right, so look at this. Vanessa, I sandbagged her, what, 15 minutes ago, and check it out.
41:47
She's getting closer to having—I see her site now. I see her emails. Vanessa, what was your prompt?
41:58
Absolutely three sentences: I need a five-email campaign, just exactly what Brian says.
42:06
So the custom website that I've built for an HVAC company—that I built it for.
42:11
So I want the emails to be personalized, that I've built this site for you.
42:15
I need to know how to price the website, including customization.
42:19
Like, if they don't like some aspects, I'm going to go in and make it a little better for them, but also hosting for a year.
42:24
And then I gave them the site that Brian built on Manus.
42:28
I just plopped in the URL, and I let it go to town.
42:33
Would you say it was challenging and difficult for you?
42:36
It might be the easiest thing I've done all day.
42:40
And that included waking up, y'all.
42:42
So think about it.
42:42
I'm making a copy.
42:44
Think about it.
42:46
So for all of you that say, I'm not making money—stop. Let's fix that. I don't care about any other course or product or anything you're in.
42:56
Let's just get you to making money.
42:58
If you're coming with Jay and Chris, who we recently did some work with on Amplifier, and you have amps, let's sell a campaign to sell amps at a cheap price, and let's make money. That's the goal. Let's get clients paying you money.
43:13
Once that happens, let's get more than one client paying you money, and then let's have it happen multiple times a week, and then multiple times a day. That's the plan. All right, Vanessa, I'm going to turn it over to you to kind of recap some of this.
43:27
I'm going to give you my presentation, and you can put this in the members area. But guys, every one of you can do this right now. Like, there's no reason you can't do this. We're going to help you, we're going to hold your hand, and we're even going to do some of the work for you. Vanessa is a great emailer.
43:47
Matter of fact, Vanessa, what's another thing they could do right now?
43:51
What about the stuff we're doing with Onic?
43:53
Can they participate on an affiliate side as another income stream?
43:58
Yes. Onic is giving away—
44:02
Is everybody familiar with Onic?
44:04
He is an internet marketing maestro.
44:08
So he's written a book about AI and has built a tool, and currently he's running an affiliate promotion where basically he's paying $2 for every lead you generate to just download this free book.
44:26
So it's an incredible opportunity for cold emailing.
44:29
Now, he does have a process where he's approving every single person who's applying to promote, right?
44:36
He's very strict with who he allows to work with him.
44:40
So I've reached out to him personally and said, I want to endorse your offer to Brian's audience—our Small Batch members, right?
44:49
So right now I'm waiting for him to come back and say, yes, we're going to green-light all of these folks.
44:55
And then I'll be able to, you know, bridge that so that you guys are white-gloved into being able to promote for it. But it's very, very cool. But I would like for you all, if you haven't already—again, this is free, zero commitment—if I drop a link into the chat, I would like for you to experience this funnel by signing up, like, again, for free. It's name and email, and then you get your book. Is that cool with everybody?
45:24
Yep, Maurice knows Onic—super guy. Yeah, he is fantastic.
45:27
Let me go into the chat here and type this out. And you've probably seen some emails from Brian this weekend. Let me grab the right link, hold on one second. Yeah, and if anybody has any questions as we're working, let me know. Of course, I want to get you the right link. Sorry, everybody.
46:29
Here we go.
46:31
Okay, so this is the link for you to claim the free resource and experience the funnel so you'll know what you'll be mailing.
46:40
And as soon as I get that confirmation from Onic and team that we are ready to white-glove y'all in, because I don't want you to have to wait for the approval process, etc., etc. Okay, Cheryl says she's already downloaded it. Gerald got in yesterday. Awesome. If we need help setting up, what's the best way to go about that? Hey, Cindy, I'm going to come back to you on that one. Just want to wrap up, make sure everybody has the link.
47:09
All right, starting onto high.
47:12
You know, and I know a lot of folks have been asking about, you know, what's a good affiliate program I can get in.
47:18
If I don't want to sell local services, this is an excellent segue in.
47:24
The book applies to everybody: IMers, Opportunity Seekers, BizOps, Ecom, even local businesses.
47:34
Literally any list could benefit from this.
47:36
You are giving content, giving value.
47:40
So it's an excellent way to warm up a cold list, right?
47:44
So if you can mail out 10,000 of these and just get clicks because the content is very much “free gift, resource download,” you know, you're not asking for anything, you're only giving.
47:57
And then you can take that list of 10,000 and see the two or three or 4,000 clicks, right?
48:03
And then boom, you've got a hot list, right?
48:06
Are we going to also get this recording after the webinar?
48:09
I was a little late.
48:10
Grace, yes, absolutely.
48:11
Every Small Batch training, we record and then we publish for you in the Small Batch System members area on the members-only tab.
48:20
So within the next 24 hours, this time tomorrow, this entire training will be published.
48:25
We do the recording, right?
48:27
We include any quick links if we've shared any resources. We add those to the page.
48:31
We also provide a transcript of the entire call so you can search, find a timestamp, and skip anything that maybe you're not interested in watching.
48:45
We try to be efficient and respectful of your time.
48:48
So yes, that will all be up tomorrow.
48:51
I don't have a list.
48:52
I believe this is something your team can assist with.
48:54
Yes, Darren, absolutely.
48:55
When you log into Small Batch System in your members area, under the Done For You tab, we have the daily list generation.
49:03
So we will give you an unlimited amount of leads. It just means that every day you can request a niche, an area.
49:11
So say you want HVAC in Peachtree City, etc. The unlimited part is that we won't cap the results. Every single result that comes out on that list, we're going to give it to you. And you can request a new list, new niche, or a new location—or a new niche in a new location—every single day, and we will give them to you. So what to email?
49:35
We've got it. Who to email? We'll give it to you. Yes. All right. Okay.
49:42
So Cindy asked, if I need help setting up, what's the best way to go about it?
49:49
So let me ask you a follow-up question. What are you needing help setting up?
49:54
Because I can send you in the different directions so that you get to the right people.
49:59
Do we have to list a location, Anthony asks?
50:01
Yes, the way the list generation works is we have to give it a geographical parameter or it's gonna break the system, right?
50:12
It can't find every HVAC company in the world.
50:15
We have to limit it.
50:17
And this also helps you stabilize and control your list, right?
50:25
You can personalize your messages, for example, and say, I'm working in the Peachtree City area.
50:32
I can only work.
50:33
I limit my services to one HVAC business per location so that my customers don't compete with each other.
50:42
I am focusing on the Peachtree City area.
50:44
For example, that's a way that you can use that targeted geolocation to amplify the effectiveness of your offer.
50:52
My website URL for email. Cindy, are you asking about buying a domain so that you can have an email address that you send emails from?
51:10
Anthony is asking, can we do region, comma, state?
51:12
So you can do—we have to have at least one city in a single state, but we can search up to five cities in that state. So you get to find businesses based on their physical address, 123 Main Street.
51:30
The way we find businesses is if that business—this is, I love this, chef's kiss—if that business markets themselves as servicing an area. So 123 Main Street in a little podunk tiny city might say, “We service Peachtree City and Atlanta and Macon,” for example.
51:55
So when we search, if you search Atlanta, there's a little bitty business that's in a tiny suburb that you would never think to search, but you want to work with people who work in Atlanta—you’re going to get that contact, right?
52:11
Again, much broader net, much bigger list, and it's still applicable, right?
52:18
Very cool, thank you, Anthony.
52:20
I'm glad you think so. I do too.
52:22
I have a domain that I cannot connect.
52:25
Cindy, have you created an email address on that domain and set it up so that you have an inbox, webmail, hooked it up to Gmail?
52:38
Have you created an email on that domain yet?
52:42
Edwin asks, also works in Germany?
52:45
Yes, we can generate leads for businesses anywhere in the world.
52:50
We can search globally, not just America.
52:53
So if you want to target Germany, UK, Australia, Japan, Mexico, Canada—yes.
53:00
Yes, yes, yes.
53:01
We can do all of that for you, right?
53:09
Okay, so that's what you need help with.
53:11
Okay, so, okay, this is a great question.
53:12
Cindy has a domain, but she needs an email.
53:15
Okay, Small Batch system can help you once you have an email.
53:18
But because setting up your email is outside of our scope, that is something that you do directly with your registrar.
53:29
Your registrar is the person you bought your domain from.
53:33
Cindy, it's a really simple answer to a complicated question.
53:38
If you bought your domain from GoDaddy, Namecheap—tell me who you bought your domain from.
53:49
They—that company, GoDaddy, for example, or Namecheap, for example, Cloudflare, okay?
53:56
So Cloudflare will have resources for email.
54:00
They want you to pay them for email, right?
54:04
They want that.
54:04
So this is a service they provide.
54:08
So either there'll be a link for email, or you could click support, or you could call support, or you could open a ticket.
54:16
And just say to them, “I bought a domain, I wanna set up email,” and they'll help you, and they'll do it.
54:23
And then once it's done, then you can connect the email that is established with Small Batch, right?
54:29
But everything we do—you have to already have an email set up on your domain.
54:35
And our team isn't—for your protection, we don't enter into your hosting, your email domain, etc., etc., etc. But those GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare systems will provide that support. Start to finish, they'll help you get that email set up, because they want you to have it, because you're paying them for it. Right before you go, or in the call, is there a way to escalate a support ticket? I ask because I'm not getting anywhere with this system. I sent in a ticket and got answered by someone else. The links don't work, etc.
55:17
James, yes.
55:18
If that ever happens, if you ever get frustrated or in an unfortunate loop, or maybe you don't feel like things are being communicated back and forth effectively, reply back in that ticket. Vanessa said to please give this ticket to her.
55:36
And I give everyone on this call permission.
55:39
If you get in a situation where you're not being supported, taken care of, or helped—and I don't mean you're not getting an answer that you don't like, like that's different.
55:52
Like, you wish it were already Friday and somebody says, “I'm sorry, it's Monday, there's nothing I can do.” Vanessa also can't do anything about that, right?
55:58
But if you feel like there's a miscommunication or somebody's not getting what you're asking, please, please always say, “Vanessa said to give her this ticket,” and I personally go in. I don't live in the support desk—I do a lot of things—but once every 24 hours I do go in, and I check, and I'll look for escalated tickets. My entire team—I trained them all personally, and I've worked with most of them for over five years. Some of them I've worked with for ten years, and they know my standards.
56:33
And that is—you help.
56:37
That's what we're here for.
56:39
We help.
56:40
Like the name of the domain is getsupport.biz.
56:44
That's what we're here for, right?

The courses that Brian teaches, these classes that we have throughout the month, our number one goal is to help folks skip the hard part—the 20 years that Brian and I, or he's got 30—that we've got in this business learning things the hard way. My goal every day is to make it so you don't have to spend those 20 or 30 years learning it. Like, if I've got the knowledge, I want to give it to you. I don't want you to have to fight for it, I want to hand it to you. So nobody's going to get their feelings hurt or be offended if you say, “Vanessa said give her this ticket.” They know it's my mission, it's their mission, to help you. What is a support email?
57:33
Grace, we don't work it through email.
57:36
As you know, via the Small Batch system, too many times emails go to spam, right?
57:42
So we have a domain—it is a ticketing system called getsupport.biz.
57:47
We ask that if you are initiating a request for support to make a ticket.
57:52
And that's because even if it's just 5% of the emails, if you were to mail in—even if only 5% got lost to spam, and that's what we find, that sometimes does happen—we don't want to miss you. Five percent is too much.
58:06
So we ask you anytime you are creating a new issue to create a ticket at getsupport.biz. When we answer that ticket, it's going to come to you from the help@getsupport.biz
email, same as your welcome email for Small Batch. And you can reply back and forth, because once you've created that ticket in our system, our system knows that ticket call and response as we email back and forth solving it with you, that it's not spam. But the inbound filter—if you just wrote “Dear Vanessa” at getsupport.biz or help@getsupport.biz
—that's when things get flagged for spam.
58:46
So it's a long answer to a short question.
58:49
Please, if you're asking a question, not responding to something, if it's a first-time inquiry, just visit getsupport.biz.com and open a ticket.
58:59
And that will guarantee that myself and my team will help you.
59:11
And James, if you already have a ticket that you feel wasn't satisfactorily resolved, reply to that ticket so that when you say, “Vanessa asked that you give her this ticket,” I have the history of the conversation.
59:25
I know what you have asked and what was answered so that I don't make you go through that same process of describing what's going on, da da da da da.
59:35
I will review the complete history of your conversation and I will hopefully jump right to the solution part, right?
59:44
You're very welcome.
59:46
Are these websites only going to be sold via email?
59:48
Grace, you can sell these however you want.
59:51
The example that Brian gave was building a website that he could sell to someone, right?
59:57
And then I've created the emails—you should still see them on my screen.
1:00:02
Let me know if you don't.
1:00:04
These are the emails that you could use to reach out to that business owner, right?
1:00:14
And show them, “This is the website I built for you, and I'd like to sell it to you,” right?
1:00:18
The valuation that Manus—remember, I didn't build the website, Brian did, but I said I want to sell this website, okay?
1:00:28
So what Manus did is it went in and analyzed the website's features, confirmed it's professional, etc., etc.
1:00:36
Pricing research shows HVAC websites cost between $2,500–$60,000 depending on complexity. Basic web design is a typical charge of—next I will compile.
1:00:48
All right, so that's it. It's doing the research and it's giving me information.
1:00:52
So here I have—on this side that's scrolling—I have a five-touch email. And down here in the deliverables, this is the email campaign. I clicked here and I see the email campaign.
1:01:06
Okay, but I've also got a pricing strategy. It also produced for me a pricing strategy, telling me that it recommends I sell the website that Brian built in less than an hour—
1:01:18
We'll call it 30 minutes—for $4,500 to $6,500. So while, in the time it took you to be on this call, from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m.
1:01:31
Today, Brian built a website, I built an email campaign, and we have a valid pricing valuation for an asset that we should be able to sell for $6,500.
1:01:45
Shoot, call it five grand, because you remember what Brian said—five or ten a month, right?
1:01:52
You've already done the work.
1:01:53
If you're targeting HVAC companies in different cities, right, they're not competing, you can have that same website with slight customizations.
1:02:04
Remember the tweak button down at the bottom right?
1:02:07
Tweak it.
1:02:08
You can go back in and tell Manus, “Okay, make me duplicate this website for this customer and put in the business name and address,” and you'll get a new URL for that new business. And then, boom, send them this email campaign.
1:02:25
So $5,000 in less than an hour—you've built your asset, you've got an email campaign, and you start mailing this strategy—I'm sorry, this email campaign—and you sold five websites for $5,000.
1:02:43
That's $25,000 a month.
1:02:46
So that is the email approach. But you could also do Facebook ads.
1:02:51
On those unlimited lists that we give you every single day, we don't just give you the email address, right?
1:02:56
We give you the physical address of the business. We give you the phone number.
1:03:00
We give you the email address, okay, but also you get the Facebook page of the business, so you could send them a Facebook message. We give you the LinkedIn page, so you could give them a LinkedIn message. I believe there's also X—if they have a Twitter/X account. There are many, many, many ways to reach out to these businesses. Obviously email is the most efficient, most effective—this is what Small Batch is all about. But no, in no way are you limited to only selling these via email.
1:03:39
Are we able to help these businesses with marketing the website we sell to them using any of the tools in Small Batch?
1:03:44
Stephanie, fantastic question—absolutely yes.
1:03:47
If they buy this website from you, right, and now they have a new website—
1:03:52
What's the next step?
1:03:54
We want people to see their website.
1:03:55
We want customers to go to their website so that they become HVAC customers to this business, right?
1:04:02
So the next step is to offer them marketing services.
1:04:07
We can help you with—and you can use Small Batch to mail, email the HVAC's internal list.
1:04:15
We call this reactivation campaigns, right?
1:04:18
Where you take—maybe they have 5,000 people that they have collected the emails from, right?
1:04:24
Either past customers, or inquiries on their website, or quote requests, whatever.
1:04:29
They have a list of 5,000 people.
1:04:31
You take their list, right?
1:04:34
And you email their list information from them, from the HVAC company. “Hey, winter's coming.
1:04:44
Have you changed your filters?” Right?
1:04:47
Or even straight up, “Hey, we just got a new website.
1:04:51
Check us out.” But yes—the fulfillment aspect of serving local businesses is definitely step one. Send a reactivation campaign through the Small Batch system. If we have the email addresses, is that compliant with GDPR?
1:05:07
Yes. Yes, if they are opted in for that business and you are working to service that business, you can email consumers.
1:05:14
Yes. Ideas if they don't have the list already?
1:05:18
Connie, you can generate a list of consumers, right, from any source.
1:05:24
With the Small Batch system, you do not have to use lists we gave you, right?
1:05:30
You can source, obtain, generate—however you want to—lists and send those emails out to generate business, absolutely.
1:05:43
One thing I do like to say also though is that people who own businesses are still people, right?
1:05:50
So if you generate a business list and you are emailing businesses, especially if you're emailing businesses that are usually owner-operator, right?
1:06:03
Where you're likely to get a person, you can offer them consumer services, right?
1:06:08
And if your customer, say HVAC, has a commercial department, you can also email businesses because your customer can service businesses, right?
1:06:26
Let's just open the boxes up.
1:06:28
You don't have to keep everything so segmented with those rigorous walls.
1:06:35
All right, everybody.
1:06:36
We have rolled over.
1:06:37
We're at the 1:06.
1:06:38
Thank you so much for spending all your time with us today.
1:06:41
Brian's training was fantastic.
1:06:43
We're going to get this recording out.
1:06:47
The free Manus.
1:06:49
Let me see if I can log out.
1:07:03
See, let me try this.
1:07:11
I'm trying to find the free Manus sign-up page.
1:07:18
All right, so I just googled Manus, right?
1:07:23
And just go there.
1:07:26
You start off for free, that's it.
1:07:29
You don't even have to create an account.
1:07:31
Just go to manis.im, let me grab this link.
1:07:36
Manis.im and start for free.
1:07:40
And then if you want to sign up, you can.
1:07:44
That's it.
1:07:45
Please also send the paid Manus.
1:07:47
This is the same.
1:07:48
So you go to manis.im and then once you create an account, you can get pricing.
1:07:55
So simple, so simple.
1:07:57
And I used the free Manus for a really long time.
1:08:01
You can do a whole lot with the free, but the paid is, oh my gosh, compared to every other tool on the internet, it is incredibly inexpensive, but it is the most powerful thing I've ever used.
1:08:16
Shocking what it can do.
1:08:19
Maurice, I'm so glad you feel that way, thank you.
1:08:24
Grace asked, if I just created my email brand new, what is the step-by-step process to get it warmed up and ready to start emailing from the new email? Fantastic question, Grace.
1:08:34
My recommendation is log in to smallbatchsystem.com.
1:08:46
I'm gonna do it live with you so you can see. Complete done-for-you system walkthrough.
1:08:55
Watch this training because I walk through from a brand-new email getting it set up in our system, as long as you already have the email. Right, Connie, I know you need to work with your registrar to get that email set up, but once you have an email that has an inbox you can access, you can send and receive mail on a one-to-one basis. You have an email, come here, and what it's gonna do is walk you through. See this “Done For You” tab right here? It's going to start with account warm-up, campaign setup, lead generation (that's the daily lists), and then optional, if you want to, we will check any content you provide for CanSpam, and we will check your sender domain, the domain you bought, to make sure that you're not on any spam lists.
1:09:44
If you haven't already, I highly, highly recommend you go to the Small Batch CRM. Get it.
1:09:49
It's free. Let us do that work for you.
1:09:54
Cheryl says, does it matter if I sign up to Manus with my personal email or my business email?
1:09:58
No, it doesn't matter at all.
1:10:00
It's a completely separate account.
1:10:02
It's just another tool, unrelated third party, completely siloed off, another account for you, so you can use whatever email you'd like.
1:10:13
How do we get involved in the website business with you guys?
1:10:16
Anthony, just do what we did today.
1:10:18
Go to Manus, follow Brian's instructions and prompts.
1:10:21
You've made a website, use my emails, I'm gonna put up the prompt, I'm gonna put up the content, and start mailing people about a website.
1:10:31
It's that simple, it's that simple.
1:10:33
And again, this training that Brian went through, an hour all in, start to finish, build the website, I go over making the emails. All you do is personalize it to the niche and industry that you want to sell to.
1:10:49
It's that simple.
1:10:50
Because this isn't something where you partner with us and we take some of the money.
1:10:55
No, we are teaching you how to create a digital asset that you completely own 100% by yourself, and that you sell to another person and keep 100% of the money.
1:11:07
It's not even a partnership.
1:11:09
We are just teaching you, empowering you, enabling you to build something from essentially nothing and sell it.
1:11:17
Well, this one sold, they said, between $3,500 and $6,500.
1:11:23
Once I have an email warmed up and a list of contacts, how do you help with the campaign? What should I request next?
1:11:29
Jorge—George, I'm sorry if I mispronounced it wrong either one of those times.
1:11:34
You decide what you sell, right?
1:11:37
So under resources, we have a bunch of campaigns that are primarily focused on providing local services, right?
1:11:47
If you want to sell an affiliate product, usually that affiliate person you're selling the affiliate product for provides email content, etc.
1:12:00
It's completely up to you. You can write your own content, right?
1:12:04
But all you do is once you have your email warmed up and you have a list, come to the Done For You and go to Done For You Campaign Setup. I'll do it live. It's a simple form.
1:12:16
You give us the portion of your list that you want the small batch to go to, because remember those lists are huge. You could get a thousand people in a list—that's not a small batch, right? You have to segment it out to the portion of the list that you want it to go to. Log into your account, confirm that your email's been warmed up.
1:12:44
You tell us what platform your email is set up with.
1:12:47
Are you going to run this email through Small Batch CRM?
1:12:51
Or our Done For You team does support Street, Mailjet, Brevo, Yesware, GMass, and Instantly.
1:12:56
So you don't have to use Small Batch CRM, but we recommend it.
1:12:59
You tell us your name, email address, and password so that we can log in as you.
1:13:06
You give us your file of emails.
1:13:11
That's the portion of the list that we gave you, or a list you generated yourself, or a list you already had.
1:13:17
However, you give us the 75 contacts you want in your small batch, and then you formulate your email message, the email address that you'll send from, the earliest date you want to start delivering the emails, your campaign type, who you are emailing, or “I have my own email campaign.”
1:13:40
And with that, you just upload a Word file, okay?
1:13:44
We've got some customization so that we can do merge fields on your email.
1:13:48
So every one of those emails we send for you feels more personal, right?
1:13:52
Less mass mailing, more one-on-one.
1:13:54
That's the point of small batch.
1:13:57
And then you confirm you're not a robot and then click here to request your campaign setup.
1:14:02
So we'll take your campaign to your list with your customization.
1:14:06
And on the date you select, we will send those emails for you out of your account so you get all of the reporting, all of the results, all of the replies. It's completely yours. This isn't, again, a partnership where we take half the money. We are just doing it for you so that you can sell your product, your services, the affiliate product, use your link, etc. How many campaigns can we do, or do we need to upgrade the default CRM to Pro?
1:14:37
Gary, fantastic question.
1:14:39
With the Small Batch CRM, the free version supports one campaign at a time, right?
1:14:44
So that could be a 30-email campaign, depending on how long you make the campaign, but it is one at a time.
1:14:52
For all of the interfaces that we support, you can add multiple “from” sender addresses, right?
1:15:02
So if you're Gary@mycompany.com
, you can also build Vanessa@mycompany.com
, Julie@mycompany.com
.
1:15:12
We recommend no more than three per domain, but then you have three sender addresses.
1:15:17
Each sender can send one campaign, right?
1:15:23
Small Batch CRM supports one campaign at a time.
1:15:26
So if you want to scale up and do three at a time or more, yes, that would require Pro. But, for example, Gmask is an account that's tied to a specific Gmail account, right?
1:15:42
So if you have set up 15 senders and you're using Gmask on all 15 of those separate email accounts, then you could run 15 per day because that's how Gmask works. But for Small Batch CRM, yes, if you want to add additional senders so that you can run multiple campaigns in parallel, that does require Pro.
1:16:03
But we do not recommend you jump into that until you're ready to scale up and start sending more emails, all right?
1:16:16
Do you make emails in different languages too?
1:16:18
Cheryl, at this time, no, we do not because I don't speak any other languages.
1:16:23
I took French in high school.
1:16:24
Believe me, you don't want me to write French email marketing.
1:16:28
We are looking into using AI to translate marketing emails.
1:16:35
But because we don't have anyone to proof it, I don't want to endorse content to you.
1:16:42
I can't validate that it's good, right?
1:16:46
So if you do speak other languages, and you want to market in other languages, you can take any of the content we've got. If you are able to convert it and endorse it, and you are ready to put your name on it and give it back to me, we will run those campaigns for you.
1:17:03
Remember that I have my own email campaign option right here.
1:17:06
You just upload the file.
1:17:09
Good thing AI does.
1:17:11
You know, we trust AI, really.
1:17:13
We trust it a lot.
1:17:14
We should be, I always triple-check AI's production.
1:17:19
So we can do multiple campaigns, but sequentially.
1:17:22
But we are limited to three different campaigns sequentially, based on the three-email limit. No, sorry Gary, you are not limited in any way to how many emails you send in parallel, as long as you understand you have to create senders for each campaign. Each sender address can send one campaign at a time. So if you have 50 senders—
1:17:47
You can send 50 campaigns in a day.
1:17:51
For that three-per-domain limit, that is just staying under Google's radar for the sender accounts to keep the domain healthy.
1:18:00
So you could have Gary@mycompany.com
, Vanessa@mycompany.com
, and Julie@mycompany.com
.
1:18:05
But then you could also have Gary@thiscompany.com
, Vanessa@thiscompany.com
, Julie@thiscompany.com
.
1:18:11
It just means you need more domains.
1:18:13
Make sense?
1:18:15
So six emails, six campaigns sending from a specific email would require two domains. So six—yes, Gary, that is absolutely correct.
1:18:28
Alright everybody, again, thank you so much for the day.
1:18:31
If there are any questions that you've got, please hit us up in the Facebook group for best practices and implementation.
1:18:36
If you've got technical account questions, see me at getsupport.biz. And if you need to escalate a ticket, never hesitate to invoke my name and ask them to give it to Vanessa. I will step in and make sure that you are very well taken care of. Thank you for an excellent session, and I will see you all in the Facebook group. Alright, thanks everybody.
