Alright, TikTok marketing one-on-one with boost your traffic, grow your brand, and get more business if you don't know where to start.

And I helped generate over 2.5 million in profit in five-years through digital markets. So that in a nutshell is a little bit about me.

And then you've got Johnny Marks over here with over 110,000 followers, where it's kinda just some random content trying to go viral, testing out new things here. But in total, that equals 2/115000 followers. Here's a bit more on the personal side of things. And the French Canadian family man, that is my wife. For Kids, Zoe Isabel Frederick. I'm an avid learner, stock market real estate crypto, alternative investing in online business. I breathe that stuff day in, day out. That a big fan of sports, I was supposed to be a pro hockey player back in the day, but it didn't pan out. I digress. I did play against the likes of Jonathan Taves, the captain of the Chicago Blackhawks back in the teenage years. That is my claim to fame, digital innovator and entrepreneur. They continuously test and learn new marketing tactics and strategies and hacks and all that jazz. And I loved going to town on my drugs whenever I have the option to do so when the house is empty. Alright, but enough about me, let's talk TikTok because that is why you are here. So let's dive right it. Alright, so what to expect from this class? You're gonna get complete clarity on what TikTok is and how it is used by brands, creators in businesses all over the world. You're going to discover how a well-crafted TikTok strategy, explanation, business growth. I'm going to show you how to script, shoot and upload a TikTok.

I'm going to share with you some advice and I'm going to give you some guidance on the entire TikTok sales funnel from awareness stage all the way to the buyer. I'm going to give you some advice and guidance. Tiktok sales funnel from awareness to follower. So buyer and last but not least, you're gonna get some valuable information that you can apply it in your TikTok marketing strategy today. Alright? So this course is for you. If you haven't uploaded your first TikTok yet or you're spinning your wheels with their content. You're not getting any views, or you're looking for professional guidance on how to properly set up TikTok accounts, right? Or you're not sure how to create a viral video. You want to build a brand that will positively impact people's lives in perpetuity in the future. You're unhappy with the current results are getting right now with your first few TikToks. And last but not least, you'd like to know more tips, tactics, strategies to grow your TikTok. 2. #2 - What is TikTok & How Does It Work?: So what is TikTok and how does it work? Right? That's why you're there. You want the answer. So that's all. Let's dive right in. What is TikTok? Tiktok is a training video focus social networking platform. That's a mouthful that allows creators to publish 15 s to ten minute videos. They did start with 15 s to 60 s. But as TikToks popularity increased, their competing for the 10-minute video market, which would be with YouTube and Netflix. The content varies from trends, jokes, cranes, dancing, modeling, how to educational and entertainment. It is owned by a Chinese company called ByteDance, which have their own Chinese version of TikTok cold. Do when. Hope. I'm pronouncing that right, so how does it work? Alright, creators on TikTok, well, they publish content that is either pre-recorded or it's recorded within the app itself. There's a plethora of features that you can utilize to optimize your TikTok content before publishing. So careers can add their favorite sounds music, you can add captions, they can add visual effects, inserting hashtags, type other creators and businesses. And they can change the voice and much more, right? They don't have to manually do it like I just did. Just press a button and it changes the tone of their voice. Pretty cool stuff. Once the video is published, it has the potential to reach an unlimited number of people on the app itself. The impressions, which is another word for the reach. The amount of times are showing up in front of someone's scrolling on TikTok. Depends on a few factors. You can see her there. They include but are not limited to watch time, shares, comments, likes. There's also the number of followers that you have to take into account. There's, I guess what I'm saying is that there's a lot more than just these four variables that you've got to take into account here. So creators can also communicate with their followers and insert a link in their vital in most cases. And they can go live once they hit 1,000 followers. 3. #3 - For You & Following: For you and following page and as you can see, the image here, you can see at the very top that they give you two options that you can click on. Alright, so what's the difference here? As a user, you have two options. When you're scrolling through your content on the app. It's either for you or it's the following section. Now, in the 40th session, TikTok shows the type of content that you'd like to see and interact with it. Now you might be asking yourself, well, how will they know what type of contents I like? It's good question. Well, through previous data engagements and watch time on the app itself, the filter, a perfect type of content that is strictly dedicated for you. So what happens when you're new on the platform and they don't have that previous data. Another great question, so they'll show you some of the most popular trending content on the platform when you first register, you first open the app. Well, so there's some very viral videos if you want to call them that. And then based on your activity, your watch time, and your engagement, they'll build a database that will filter the type of content to show you in the future. That is on the four-year section, which is currently on every year on the image to the right. So in the following section, you're strictly going to see content from the creators and brands that you are falling on TikTok. And how do you follow people on TikTok? On this image right here, on the profile image, there's gonna be a little red circle with a plus sign on it. If you're not following this person, it will have the plus sign. Alright, so I'm already falling this gentleman right here. Again, TikTok will build a database of your previous activity and they will determine what type of content from your following that you liked the most. And they'll keep you on the app for longer. The longer you stay on the app, the higher their Pruitt is, the average revenue per user. Now, when they want the Arp2 higher, because they can make more money off businesses that want to invest with. The longer I can retain false on the app Memoria construct for my advertising. Essentially, that's what it boils down to. The business. 4. #4 - Going LIVE: On top of the for you and the following page. You can also go live. And as you can see on the image here, I pointed to the arrow and there's this little icon that you can click. Once you click that, you will see an image like this one right here to the right. So as a content creator, you gain access to the live feature. Only once you've gained 1,000 followers. As a user, you can scroll through the live section. So as I previously showed you, you just simply click on this button right here where it TikTok will only show you creators that are alive at that exact time. When you're watching creators live, you can interact with them through comments. And he also had the ability to send them gifts. Essentially, it's money. As you can see on the second image here, you'll notice the arrows and a gift, both. But the roses, the default setting in the gift oxygen, you'll see options with different monetary values that you can send to the creator, that's life. And that is one form of monetization. And if you're a creator, at the top of the second picture, you can see how many viewers are currently lives. So on this image, e.g. there are 2,600 followers watching this slab or 2,600. You can also share the live with your friends by clicking the little arrow at the bottom-right corner, as you can see on the second image here, right here. 5. #5 - Content Strategy: Content strategy and others is a tough one. So let's dive right in. You want to aim for your content to be entertaining, emotional, and educational. Alright, so here are five different types of content that you can produce for your account right now to date. First one would be how to, how to fix it by, ought to do videos on YouTube, how to build a tree house, et cetera, et cetera. And it's very educational type. Them are step-by-step videos. That is one form of video content. The next one would be storytelling. As humans, we love storytelling. As a content creator, you can do a life in the day of whatever your niches, and you can also share your past experiences. I mean, people love. So avoid mistakes. If you could share your mistakes or even your successes. That makes for great concept. Number three would be entertainment. I mean, users go on TikTok mostly to become entertaining. Now, we can divide them into five buckets. But if you can entertain while doing all of the other pieces of content that you're going to win because it's an important necessity to retain viewers on your contents are examples of entertainment. Videos would be rehashing videos or funny videos or sad videos. Or you can even showcase their skills, whether it's, whether it's golfing, whether it's painting, you name it, you've got a skill. You can display it on TikTok. Number four would be to do the top five rollerblades to buy during spring season, or the top five mistakes to avoid when starting your website. Those make for great headlines when you're doing tiktok contact. Number five, last but not least, would be to do review videos, right? You just reviewing entire tool that you use. You review your software, or maybe it's your review as a sports championship or a sports game or a film or a live event that happened or anything, essentially review it and make a video about it. Alright, so that covers content strategy and the types of videos that you can create. Any nutshell. 6. #6 - How To Record Your TikTok: How to record and your TikTok. Alright, so when you open up the app, first, you'll see this screen here. Alright? And what you'll wanna do is press this little plus button at the bottom. And then this is a, this is the screen that you're going to see once it's been this push, alright? And we're gonna go through all the features on the next page here. But I just want to show you how it looks at your end as a user that's ready to record first and then publish it TikTok. Alright, so I've got a whole bunch of numbers on the side, whole bunch of numbers on here. We're just going to match them up and go through them. So without further ado, let's go with number one. Alright, here you can select the maximum length of your TikTok video. And when I say the maximum length, say If you chose second option, your TikTok doesn't need to be 15 s. This does by clicking the 15-second option is that you're going to run out of recording time once it hits the 15-second mark. So if there's any doubt at urine whether the video is going to be maybe it might be 20 s or 25 s. Then you would go with the 62nd option and just sort of your video. But if you plan on recording a seven second video, then you would go with the 15-second video. Now you don't see the tendon or the five-minutes. A second feature on mine. Rest assured that within time your phone will instill that feature and you'll be able to record longer-form videos. Alright, so number two, here's where you add your effects. Now there's way too many to list here. And it seems like TikTok every week that comes out with a new effect. But this is where you would find them. There's also a way that you can see what kind of effects creators are using. And it'll be in a yellow bar right above this number one here of the actual TikTok video. And you can just click on it if you want to use that effect in later videos, you can save that effect. Alright, number three, your options are at the very bottom, the camera option, quick templates and live. Now, I'm gonna be honest, I don't use the quick and templates features very much. That's simply the camera and the life. You can feel free to use templates. Those are great if you have a lot of pictures and you want to make it feel out of it. This is a great options and quick. I mean, I don't I really don't know why anyone would use quick. I mean, if you're wanting to do stories which TikTok has implemented recently, than this might be an option for you. But if not, most of the time you would be using the camera oxygen. Alright, number four, right at the top, you can add sound, as it says right here, and you can add a sound or music to your video. Now you don't need to do it right away. You can record your video previously uploaded and then add the song. But if you want to dance at the same time, easier to add the song before that way you can time. Your dance moves along with the music that's playing in the background. Number five right here, we've got a whole bunch of buttons right here. So starting from the top, we've got the flip the camera angle. And essentially right now it's like it's filling outwards. If I were to press the flip, it would start filming nice selfie mode. Number two is the speed of recording. So when you're recording, you can either slow down the speed or speed it up. And here are the options listed right here, 0.3, 0.51, 2.3 XB number c. Number c, letter c is enhanced the lighting, you would almost always want to click this and make sure it's enhanced just because it gives a better visual experience to the users and scrollers on the app. D is for filters. I rarely use this, but feel free. There's everything from black and whites, 50 Shades of Grey, two days to sunset, you name it, it's there. Then we've got timer if ever, that you need to set up the fallen down and back up and set yourself up and be ready to record. There's a three or 10 s timer right there. You can create a video by replying to a comment to a previously recorded TikTok. Let me explain. I record TikTok number one. There's a few comments on that TikTok. I decided to reply to a comment, but I bring it on my next video. So I essentially make a video of that comp, so forth. I make video one person goes, I want to see in part two, I could go post that comment. I want to see part two and then answer part two and record my TikTok. That does two things, alright? Naturally when people see Park Zoo and if they're mildly intrigued by that, TikTok, want to see ticks off number one, but we'll want to go see part one. So that brings more traffic to other videos on your app. And TikTok loves that because they want people to stay on the app for longer. So in return, it will boost your profile. Little booster video impressions get more traffic to more people. And the second thing it does is it allows your audience to engage with you. And they'll expect, they might expect for you to answer them at some point through video. So it kind of leaves them with a dangling carrot if you want to give it that analogy. Though, we'll come back and wanting more hoping that maybe you'll give them or fly through a video, through another TikTok video as well. Not least, we got the Flash oxygen that is self-explanatory. If you are filming in the dark, you could use the flash, but I just recommend you use some proper lighting for here. Alright, so number six, pretty August the big red button, that button you press through start and to stop recording. Last but not least number seven, that is where you can upload previously recorded videos or photos off of your camera. 7. #7 - TikTok Trends: Trends, what to expect content, hashtags and sounds. What's that all about? Well, let's dive right in. Alright, so trends, they play a big role. Alright, TikTok is built a culture off of trends in the form of contents, in the form of hashtags, in sounds. But they each play their respective role in the trending video. A well-crafted trending video will include all three factors. Let's take a look at content. You might notice while scrolling that you see multiple years publishing very similar context. It could be the same script, the same movement, the same action story jo, dance moves. Essentially, it's the same type of video or photo used in that TikTok. Now the idea behind the TikTok videos stays the same from content creator to content creator. Alright, for hash size, as you'll see in the picture to your right, TikTok will create a list of trending hashtags. Once you click on the Discover button at the very bottom of the screen, there is the picture for reference. If your video goes viral and you included the trending hashtag, there's a good chance they're going to get more visibility off of the Discover page here, because you're going to have whatever videos that shows up right underneath the hashtag. Last but not least, we got sounds. Trends usually use the same sound or they'll use a slightly altered version of the original sound on the trending TikTok. 8. #8 - Personal vs Business Account: Now let's dive into the difference between a personal versus a business account and which one you should go with. Alright, so essentially if you want to make the switch, this is how you would do it. You would open up your profile. You click this little three line icon at the very top right. You would click Manage account, which is the first option. Read the new window, and then you would click to switch business account. That is the process to switch from personal to business. Well, let's dive into the pros and cons of both personal and business. Alright, so the pros of a personal account, you get the access to the full library of music and sounds, and you get access to create or tools. You get the ability to do it and stitch other TikTok content. Essentially a duet is when you take screen. So if I'm looking at my phone and I take half the screen, either horizontally or vertically, doesn't matter. And I recorded alongside someone else's contexts. So I take a TikTok and I record alongside with it. Stitch is when you take a part of someone's content and you integrate it into your very own. You can do it and stitch any piece of content as long as the creator has enabled it on their respective video. But everyone has the option to disable stitches and duets on their video, just full disclosure. You also get access to the creator programs. So TikToks Creator Fund and create our next. They also include opportunities for brands elaborations on the marketplace. Now, this varies from country to country because I know for a fact that Canada does not have access to the Courier font just yet at the time of recording. But I think that's going to change real soon. And last, but not least, you get access to features like promote, which is essentially a form of advertisement on TikTok. But let's look at the cons of a personal account, okay, So messaging to promote business, no, Bueno, you can only be on your TikTok friends. So not friends are not able to send you messages. Kind of a damper on business strategy here. You also require 1,000 followers to have access to insert a link into your bio, which it could take quite awhile to accumulate 1,000 followers, write your first thousands, probably going to be the toughest one to acquire. In order to wait to be able to put your website. Lincoln, that bio is kind of a downer, but I digress. Let's move to a business account, the pros and cons. So the pros of a business account, you can, you're able to insert a link in your bio right away if you register the business with TikTok, there's a little asterix there. You got to register your business with TikTok or you have 1,000 followers. But the Pruitt, like the big pro here is a superior messaging capabilities. Alright, so you can pre-populate a message when someone communicates with you. So someone reaches out to me, I can have essentially a bot on behalf of me, communicates, send the first message to the person that reached out. I do not need to be TikTok, friends and quotations to directly message someone. Do have access to the promo feature, access to sales features, which essentially is setting up a TikTok shop with a link Shopify site, super powerful stuff. And I'm also able to have a product page on a profile. Now let's look at the cons. A business account. This is supposed to be business and not personal. My mistake. Alright, but we're not perfect. All good. Carry on. Can't access for music library, which, which is a big donor because a big part of TikToks and vibes is trends. And trends are used with very, very trending music, music that has just been released. And unfortunately you might use, and unfortunately you most likely won't have access to the trending sounds. You have access to only commercial sounds created by TikTok. Very limited. It is what it is. You have limited ability to do that and stitch content, but if that's not part of your strategy, There's no access to the creator monetization tools in creator. Next, if you're Canadian like me, you don't get access to the creator funds. So this might not be a big deal, right? If you're a Canadian business or business in another country that does not have access to those kind of tools. 9. #9 - Tik Tok Tester & Analytics: Alright, so do you wanna be a TikTok tester? What does that mean? Right. Okay, well, let's just dive right in. You can reap the benefits of early access to features that TikTok on to adapt to their major abusers by joining the TikTok testers because they're going to release those features to the testers before they release to everyone on the yellow to be a TikTok tests are all you gotta do here. Follow the steps. You would click the three-line icon right at the top. And this is one page here. So you would scroll down this page and at the very bottom, you'll find joined TikTok testers follow the rest of the procedure and you are into tasks. Next is analytics. As an entrepreneur and as a business person, you want to know what's working, what's not room. I take classes, one in front of which countries, Watson, me, et cetera, et cetera. So how do we dive into those analytics and how do they look? This is it right here. How would you do it? Again, same three line icon. Click that sprawl to create or tool. So when you open this, there's gonna be two options, settings and Creator Tools. You click Creator Tools, click Analytics. And this is it. Yeah, the oxygen, an overview content followers in life. Here's the data that it will give you and it's pretty interesting. You can get some pretty good feedback off of there. So you'll get some data on your engagement. You can go last seven days, last 30 days, etc. Follower content is right here. Your followers data can be found right here. You can actually see the training content, which videos are trending. And that'll give you some really valuable feedback as to what type of content you should record next and what type of content that your audience really likes to see from you. And over here we've got this cool little graph that shows you how many followers you have or have accumulated throughout the days, throughout the time period that you selected. And then you have some gender stats on territory, some territorial stats. If you're a business person and you want to grow as fast as possible, you need to look at your analytics. You need to nitpick what's working for you right now and just jump on that and do more of that. 10. #10 - TikTok Marketing Funnel & Content Marketing: Tiktok marketing funnel. What does that mean and what does it do? Let's check it out. To the left, you'll see an image. It says lead generation, essentially. Think of degeneration as a funnel. At the very top of the funnel, you gotta a viewer. You got a visitor who stumbles upon your ticks off for the very first time, does not know you. A complete stranger. This person could be from another country for all you know, what that essentially is the person at the very top of your lead generation funnel. What does the middle of like? Well, it's either a person that has clicked the link in your bio, your web site, or maybe it's someone that engages with their content, likes it, comments on it, shares that with her friend, a fan, and it's a follower who actually decided to falling extremely valuable because the bottom of the funnel look like, well, you've probably guessed that it's someone that's a prospect. You either got their email, their phone number through a trip wire or some sort. You offer something for free or you charge something for very, very low fee. In return, you got their contact information and you can re-target them, re advertise to them further down the line. Now what is a dream client look like? Well, it's a repeat customer, right? Do you want to treat those ago? Or a brand ambassador, someone that shouts at the top of their lungs, Hey, Johnny, marketing is the best and you should go see him. He said were good at designing marketing is even though this guy, oh man, oh, wow, awesome content Johnny, those are the pupil that you want to treat with gold. I mean, those are, those are your dream clients in a nutshell. Alright, content marketing. What is it? In a nutshell? When you're TikTok is done right, you'll be knocking two birds with 1 st. Okay? Number one is you'll create content with purpose and mine. You're going to build trust. You're going to get people to subscribe. There's a call to action at the end of the video by my stuff, check on my PDF. I've gotta how-to, five-step list, check it out, et cetera, et cetera. Think content that can fruits. So that gets people to do an action. Alright? Here are the types of content that you can create. Educational pieces of content, entertaining, emotional, engaging. In an ideal world. Alright, very ideal because it's tough to include all three. But in an ideal world, you can mix all four. In every piece of content, you're going to see exponential growth in no time. Number two, you're gonna get more organic traffic. Organic traffic is non paid traffic, right? So if I create a piece of content and a stranger season, that is organic traffic. You'll get more organic traffic. You'll get eyeballs on your content. At the end of the day, every platform just wants to users to come back on that platform and stay as long as they can so they can monetize you, the user through the platform, right? Businesses debating between advertising on Facebook or TikTok? Well, first I'm going to ask, who's on that who's on that platform, and how long are they on their right leg? How valuable how far is my ad going to go on this platform versus this versus this platform? Am I going to pay an arm and a leg to show this to ten people here. Whereas I could pay pennies on the dollar to show this to thousands of people here. Those are all things to take into consideration here. But just remember that every platforms main focus here is ARPU, average revenue per user. You as a creator, you want to provide great content on TikTok to please both the viewers and the platform right? At the end of the day, it's gotta be viewers first because she takes her the viewers, the rest will take care of itself. But you gotta, you gotta remind yourself also that you're dealing with a platform. You can't really hide the platform too much because it might come and bite you back in the butt. But you also don't want to neglect it is what I'm saying. Now, Friendly reminder that quality is subjective to me. It's everyone else. What you might think is terrible content could be extremely valuable to someone else and vice versa. Just remember that. 11. #11 - Studying, Replicating & Repurposing Content: So studying and replicating TikTok. So how do you do it? What do you do it and what's the point, right? So there are a couple of ways you can study TikTok content and replicate what's been successful already while adding your own spicy their content look, we're getting onto TikTok as a creator because we either want to build the brand, we want to get more cells. We want to grow our business or grow, or an aim or company, right? And so by studying what's already successful, you're just going to expedite your business growth. So number one, by scrolling on the app, just take notice of already successful videos. If you look at the different nuances of a successful TikTok and how do you know if it's successful or not? Well, you can take a look at the amount of likes, the amount of comments. And as you scroll TikTok, you'll notice which one has a lot more likes and comments than others, right? Are a lot more shares as well. And then so when you see one with a hot, with a lot of engagement, comments, likes, and shares. That's what probably tell you that it's a somewhat successful TikTok. You want to take a look at everything from camera angles, transitions, captions, length of video, sound, music, use the effects and et cetera. You're going to create similar videos without copying the content, but you're going to emulate the video in your very own creative way. The number two, the second way of studying and kind of replicating TikTok content is to search up assays in the discovery session. Because they're, the first video is that a pure training and viral videos that were published with that specific hashtags included in the caption, e.g. if your hashtag is something to do with fishing, right? We might put hashtag fishing. Then you're going to see the top ranked videos that included fishing in their videos. Now, you want to be careful because someone might have a viral video not even remotely close about fishing, but put the hashtag fishing in there. And that will give you a good barometer if you're actually into the fishing, nice, if you know what I mean, do awesome video and it's actually about fishing, and it's actually successful, then that tells you that type of video will most likely be successful for you. And I'm not saying every video is going to be successful, but you're going to have a better chance of going viral and having a lot more early success with those kinda videos. If you emulate what's already been done, tried and true. Alright, And number three is you're gonna go check out your favorite TikTok accounts and profiles in your specific needs. And you're going to scroll the library of videos to see what type of content outperform. So let's go back to the fishing example. I will just select maybe top five to ten phishing accounts on TikTok. Who has the numbers, the highest number of engagement, highest number of followers. And just take note of what has worked with them. Videos where they sing those videos. Are they even talking? What kind of music in there? Well, what's the scene and the background? Are they actually casting your fish? Are they showing the fish? How often? Those kind of questions you'll need to ask yourself in order to create the best TikTok that you can. Absolutely. Number four here is used trending sounds, hashtags, and more importantly, trending content ideas that have had recent success on the app. And you just need to spin the contents will make it unique in your very own style. Friendly reminder that trends they do come and go quite quickly. So when you don't want to do is take note of all these trends and only act on it two weeks later if you're gonna do trends or as they call it. And that is essentially doing videos and leveraging the trends, sounds, hashtags or content ideas. Then you want to do it. The earlier the better. Essentially is the model ICIC. Alright, so here's a great marketing hack that I've used in my years of Marketing here for over seven years. And it's, it's actually a big time-saver and you'd be kind of silly not to take advantage of it. You want to repurpose your content. What do I mean by that is, I mean, you're recording one piece of content on TikTok. You're going to take that same video and you're going to blast it everywhere else that you can, you know, in terms of your back with your funds or resources and et cetera, what this does is your only one piece of content, but you're placing it in five or six different locations. Essentially you're being omnipresent because remember at the end of the day, not everyone hangs out on TikTok and some people only thing on Pinterest, some people only hang out on Facebook. Some people will hang on on both Instagram and TikTok. You kinda wanna be everywhere, right? So every platform has a unique types of content that you published in posts and I totally get that. But there are some very close similarities. And the type of content that you're posting on TikTok that you can pause it elsewhere. So short form and vertically recorded videos right there, training. It's short form, It's bite-size and our attention span is diminishing hereby year. What training? That is, what's working right now. And the recommended ratio is 916 or 1080 by 1920 pixels. An example of re-purposing your content would be to post it as reels on Instagram. You can also post it on YouTube as a short, a short video. They call them shorts. Pinterest now allows you to post the vertical and short-form videos that you have recorded on TikTok. So boom repurpose their LinkedIn allows you to post videos horizontal and vertical. So why would you not repurpose there as well? Well, that's the growth hacking tip is to create one piece of content. And honestly you can start on any of the platforms here. But since this is a TikTok course, to start on TikTok and you repurpose on the other platforms here. Oh, an example I've already showed you. But if you create 115 to 30 s vertically record a video and you blast it on YouTube. Ige TikTok, LinkedIn, Pinterest. And you can also share that same piece of content on stories. So that is essentially a great way to save a lot of time and energy because you wouldn't want to record a separate piece of content for every platform. And that's what all the big marketers do feel. Absolutely leveraged loan piece of content. And they might go even further with them. This, they might create a podcast or their video, and they might create a blog once they transcribe their video. But that is for another course here. 12. #12 Ad + Offer (2): Alright, so add and offer an example of a TikTok advertisement funnel. Let's just go through it real quick. So you're left here. You either gotten your TikTok profile or your website right there. And you could put an arrow here that goes in-between here because frankly, they could go from your profile to your website, back to your profile. But I digress. Once they see the profile, once they've interacted with you, you can retarget these individuals. Now. You can also target cold traffic that could very well be done, but you could target individuals that have already interacted with your page or your website. Alright, so people that down to your website and you can retarget them. So essentially this is a webinar funnel. I've worked a lot with webinars. They're a great lead magnet. They're great form of exchanging valuable information in return for contact information. Now why would I wanna do that? Well, because it's on the line. The contact information is extremely valuable to me as a business person. I think communicate and give them more value. I can email them with new and latest offers, some AI products or services, et cetera, et cetera. So I'm gonna build a big list of either e-mails or phone numbers. And how do I do that? Well known one is just going to give me their information, getting something in return. E.g. this, I could run this exact masterclass presentation. Too. Cold traffic or warm traffic on a webinar registration. Boom, you get their email, thank you very much. They get a text message and then you drift that. So a couple of things happen once the registered to the webinar here, they'll get a confirmation and they'll get it. They'll be landed to a thank you page. And you can actually insert another lane, upsell them, or you can just have the Thank You page and we'll see you at the webinar. We'll send them a confirmation e-mail with an automated e-mail marketing software. There's a welcome email and then we're going to trip him 3 h before the webinar. 3 h before. Don't forget to join us at our live were pre-recorded webinar. We'll throw in 1 h before and we will send them, right as we're starting. Here is the live webinar. There's a couple of options here. If you did at the time, right and the left early. You're getting left early e-mail and they restarted the whole chain, or if you did watch it, you know, we consider that a success. And depending on their action, whether they click the call to action at the end, whether it's a product or service or consultation than Awesome, We'll throw them in one bucket. And if not, then we'll retarget these individuals right here to be on Facebook, could be on YouTube, Google, mostly on every platform. You retarget them with the same offer or maybe different offers related to your initial offering, right? But at the end of the day, we want to get them in this green box over here. And that is either they bought your product or the invested in your services, or they subscribed are following you on your page. 13. #13 - Why TikTok Matters & Recap: So why does TikTok matter? Right? So number one, TikTok was the most downloaded app and the overtook Google as the most visited a website in 2021. Now that's an extremely big deal because Fick's law is still in growth phase number two there. So one of the best platforms to reach organic traffic, essentially visitors who have never heard of you before. So if I put one video on two platforms, platform eight, Let's just say it's Facebook. Platform be, let's say it's TikTok. And the results on platform is that ten of my friends saw this video. And on the TikTok it would be ten strangers saw my video. Well, which one is more valuable to your business? Ray, is a friends that already know your services that are probably never going to buy from you if you want to show them that video or do you want to show potential viewers that TikTok has determined want to most likely see your type of content, right? Which one do you think is more volatile? I would always go with the stranger senior content because essentially that's how you grow, right? And I'm not saying that your friends will not see your content. All I'm saying is that the possibility of reaching more people, more strangers, more possible fans are buyers for me is on TikTok. It's not Instagram, Twitter. So the potential virality, it's better on this platform than any others. Right now in 2022, on TikTok, it's mostly video content and that's the low hanging fruit opportunity for creators and business owners when it comes to content creation, because blogs, podcasts, an image sharing platforms like Instagram and Facebook.
