Would you like to increase your revenue 10-20% in one week (or do you hate money)? On today’s episode, co-hosts Ralph Burns and Kasim Aslam sit down with John Ainsworth, CEO of Data Driven Marketing. John’s team works with online course creators who’ve already got a great course and a traffic source and help them optimize that traffic and increase their revenue in an ethical way. They’ve got a list of 8 proven strategies that work for everyone—because they take you back to the basics, the fundamentals. John says it’s shocking how many multi-million dollar companies don’t have these fundamentals in place. Yes, you have to put in the hard work and create something of value—an offer the world wants. “You can’t optimize until you implement,” John says. Then John and his team can help you take it from there.Listen in for some simple, but brilliant, ways to increase your average order value and your long-term value—and ultimately win with your customer.IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:One easy way to increase your

What if we told you that Tier 11 designed an ad campaign for an ecommerce store that resulted in a 608% revenue increase and 401% ROAS increase in less than 6 months?On today’s episode, we’re flipping the script a bit. Host Kasim Aslam interviews his usually-co-host Ralph Burns about an ad campaign at Tier 11 that took a struggling business from $29k/month to $176k/month in revenue in less than half a year. (Download the case study here.) Ralph talks about customer acquisition amplification and walks us through the structure of each of the five levels of traffic. But the bottom line, he says, is the creative. “The creative makes the audience. If you match incredible audience and interspace targeting with incredible front end creative and messaging, game over. You own the internet as a marketer. Mix the two together, and it’s online marketing nirvana.”Listen in to find out how to achieve this online marketing nirvana in your own campaigns.IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:How (and why) to set up tracking before you

So, how did Facebook end up taking all the heat for this privacy stuff, while Google sat back quietly and dodged the bullets? On today’s episode, co-hosts Ralph Burns and Kasim Aslam talk about the absolute brilliance of Google. For one thing, they don’t have a “face of the company,” so while everyone is out here hating Mark Zuckerberg and turning him into a meme, Google (whoever “Google” is) is more than happy to let him be the villain. Google watched Facebook take the heat for all the iOS 14 privacy updates madness. Then, when everyone was so fatigued that they didn’t even care anymore, Google rolled out Performance Max, the craziest, most invasive, most heavily-targeted tool in the history of the world. It’s literally going to change everything.Listen in for tips on staying on top of what’s new with Google Performance Max and what it means for your business.  IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:Why the 30-day attribution window/click to purchase paradigm is obsoleteWhat multi-touchpoint engagement

If you’re getting sick of the Google Performance Max discussion, get over it. Performance Max is the future of all things traffic. On today’s episode, co-hosts Ralph Burns and Kasim Aslam walk us through the three big things they’ve learned from Google Performance Max in the past few months. At this early point in history, most people are not yet running PM. If you are, you’re in a great spot as a pioneer and influencer. It’s tempting to hold all this knowledge close to the vest, the guys say, so they can enjoy the fruits of their labor before the whole world catches on, but they can’t help but share. They (and their clients) are already spending thousands (even millions) of dollars on this platform. It truly changes everything we’ve ever known about traffic. The Golden Rule of Performance Max, Kasim says, is that there are no Golden Rules. Every client, every implementation is so different—and so customizable in the ways that matter. They’re literally learning something new every day.Listen in to find o

When it comes to using bid cap and cost cap in your ad campaigns, how do you balance getting the right customers but also increasing your volume and scaling? On today’s episode, co-hosts Ralph Burns and Kasim Aslam sit down with Kobi Topaz of Tier 11 for a quick look at What’s Working Now: Big Cap/Cost Cap Edition. When do you use bid cap and cost cap strategies in your campaigns? Kobi says they really help with minimizing costs and saving the accounts on horrible days. Their main purpose is to balance things out. He walks us through structuring a campaign and when/how to use cost cap and bid cap to meet your goals. The important thing to remember, he says, is that the algorithm changes every day, so you’ve got to test. “Don’t fall back on what worked millions of years ago in Facebook time.”Listen in for some helpful tips for optimizing your campaigns while minimizing your costs.IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:The key differences between cost cap and bid capTwo important things you have to have in place bef

Are you getting similar results with every ad campaign even when you try to switch things up? On today’s episode, co-hosts Ralph Burns and Kasim Aslam sit down with Kobi Topaz of Tier 11 to pick his wicked-ninja brain about ad campaign optimization. The guys don’t go easy on him. They demand that he share knowledge bombs—at least one hack/tip/trick in particular that he really doesn’t want to give away—to earn listeners’ trust. They also ask him very easy questions like: Where is the real source of truth? Apparently, he really is a ninja because he gives some great answers. He also shares his insight and expertise on story-based ads, deep dive avatar research, optimization schedules, and how to get good leads for cheap.Listen in for some knowledge bombs you can apply to your ad campaigns today.IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:Why transformational story video ads work better than anything else on Facebook Where the most helpful avatar data comes from (and how to get it) What you should know about ch

This hack won a “Wicked Smart” award at a recent War Room Mastermind, so you know it’s got to be good. On today’s “What’s Working Now” episode, host Kasim Aslam shares a brilliant tip for free that a bunch of other entrepreneurs had to pay $35k to hear. Well, that’s a little bit of an exaggeration. Thirty-five grand is the annual fee for a War Room Mastermind membership (and totally worth the investment, Kasim says). He shared his totally legal hack in a five-minute powerpoint presentation at a recent meeting, and his fellow members were duly impressed. It all started in November 2020 when Youtube came out and said they were going to show ads on all videos. In January 2022, Kasim came up with a wicked smart idea to use that to his decisive advantage.Listen in to hear how you too can pull off an ethical heist of your competitors’ most valuable organic traffic.IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:The biggest thing Kasim has gotten from War Room this year How Kasim’s ad got a 31% view rate and a massive 8-minu

What are the biggest challenges facing marketers today, and how can you navigate through/innovate around those challenges? Today’s episode is a replay of Ralph Burns’s guest appearance on the Meta Business, Innovation, and Technology podcast with host Jordan Rogers-Smith. Being on the show was definitely a big honor for Ralph, but—let’s be honest—Meta was lucky to have him. Jordan asked a lot of insightful questions, and Ralph’s answers were brilliant. They talked about everything from attribution and iOS updates to humans vs. technology to the biggest fundamental changes in the Meta platform over the years. Ralph explained why he wouldn’t start a marketing agency in 2022, and reminisced about his first-ever Facebook ad that cost $3000 and got him zero leads or sales.Listen in for an insightful conversation between two really smart guys about the past, present, and future of marketing. IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:Why IG ads didn’t work for Ralph’s agency at first (and why they do now) How tech

Historically, Google advertisers haven’t liked funnels—for a lot of reasons. But is that about to drastically change? On today’s bite-sized episode, host Kasim Aslam is talking about his favorite topic (cue the sarcasm): funnels. Funnels haven’t functioned well traditionally in the Google ecosystem, so he hasn’t had much use for them. Until Google Performance Max. Now, not only is Kasim rethinking his opinion of funnels, he’s re-evaluating the very definition. “Marketers didn’t invent the funnel,” he says. “A funnel is a natural sequence through which a purchasing decision is made. It exists for your product or service in your industry completely independent of you.” The funnel is with your customer. The more you work to understand your customer, your avatar, the more you understand the funnel. Funnels aren’t dead, he says. They’re more important than ever.Listen in to find out more.IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:How the full funnel marketing approach is built into the fabric of Google’s advertising W

Finding the right people to work for you and with you is one of the most important—and intimidating—parts of running a business. On today’s episode, co-hosts Ralph Burns and Kasim Aslam sit down with Shaina Weisinger, CEO and founder of Repurpose House, to talk about how to hire the right people to grow and scale your business. Shaina started her company because there was a huge market for repurposed content and no one was doing it. But she had been a bottleneck in the past and knew she couldn’t be the one doing all the work this time around. She’d create the processes, the SOPs, make them efficient, document them, and pass the baton. She designed a recurring, replicable model and built her business up from the ground like that. Not only does she have incredible processes for the work her company does, she has well-oiled processes for hiring people to do that work—both domestic and overseas.Listen in for some practical advice on building systems that work and hiring the right people for each and every jo

Imagine if someone just handed you a list of every single tool you need to effectively measure the performance of your marketing. On today’s episode, co-hosts Ralph Burns and Kasim Aslam sit down once again with Chris Mercer, founder of MeasurementMarketing.io. This time he’s got a whole tech stack he’s going to share with us from start to finish, the whole kit and caboodle. Seriously, he’s giving away the farm here. It’s easy to over-complicate things, Mercer says. The skill is to make things simple. How do we keep it simple? Every measurement system has to do 3 things: 1.) Collect information to get answers to questions. 2.) Store that information to access later. And 3.) Build reports on that data. If you don’t know how to measure, all the tools in the world won’t help you. “Measurement is how we listen,” he says. “Marketing is how we respond.”Listen in as he walks us through the powerful skill of measurement—simple step by simple step.IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:How to figure out the true traffic so

The only thing worse than not knowing how you failed is not knowing how you succeeded. On today’s episode, co-hosts Ralph Burns and Kasim Aslam sit down with Chris Mercer, founder of MeasurementMarketing.io, to talk about getting leads and sales for your business through measurement. Kasim calls Mercer “one of the only non-posers in the attribution/measurement game online, the most important voice in digital marketing right now, and the smartest guy in the space.” The scary thing for marketers, Mercer says, is that every day it’s getting harder to measure. Tech is changing, laws are making it harder, and users don’t want to be measured. But there are still plenty of ways to get around all of that, and MeasurementMarketing.io can help you do it.Listen in for some helpful tips on figuring out how you got your results, so you know what action to take next.IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:What you need to know about modeling attribution on Facebook and GoogleHow to work with measurement in a company culture

You can do it too—in just FIVE minutes for just ONE dollar a day with tools that are affordable and easy to use. If you’re trying to drive sales or leads and have no authority, you no longer have any excuse. In Kasim’s words, “Every high end salesperson just got a triple PhD in getting in front of the exact right decision maker.” Dennis’s strategy is a simple, but brilliant, way to build a relationship with integrity—and leverage it to get leads and sales.Listen in for step-by-step instructions on creating a cross-platform ad with unbelievable reach—in no time.IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:How to create implied endorsement from respected names in your industryWhich platforms Dennis posts his video on (and where it does best)How social sig

Dennis gives away content like “grannies handing out Costco samples.” When Kasim was an infant in the digital marketing world, Dennis spent an hour on the phone with him and showered him with free, life-changing advice. And he shares something with PT listeners that he’s never shared before—his secret to creating high-authority, meaningful, well-produced, prolific content with important people, without taking up a ton of time.Listen in for some powerful strategies that could literally change the way you do marketing. IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:Tips for creating 15-second and 1-minute video clips you can use forever Cheap/free tools that make content creation/editing a piece of cake

What if you could combine great messaging with great audiences in a virtual nirvana of social ads with stunning results? On today’s episode, Ralph Burns walks co-host Kasim Aslam through the Creative Lab deep dive research the Tier 11 team uses to acquire ideal customers at top of funnel. This deep dive includes looking at 16 sources of data to create messaging and avatars, which becomes the foundation for how they create ad copy, images, videos, and scripts. They’re not just on a quest to uncover an avatar’s demographics and interests. They want to know them intimately. What are they thinking? What are their deepest fears? Their greatest desires? What transformation do they crave? “I don’t think you deserve to market to anybody if you don’t truly love them,” Kasim says. “And the way to fall in love with somebody is to get to know them.”Listen in for a masterclass on knowing your ideal customer on a deep level—and convincing them that the transformation they want is attainable.IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEAR
