I see email marketers saying "You don't need ads, you need retention systems" They're prolly newcomers. I used to think the same. But now, I don't really agree with it! How do you get customers to retain in the first place? You need ads to acquire Ads fuel growth Retention makes it profitable The brands doing $1M+/month aren't choosing. They're running profitable ads AND building retention systems. Ads bring customers in at $10 CAC. Retention turns them into $180 LTV. Now your ads are profitable and you can scale. One without the other = you're fucked.

78% of sales reps never dig past surface problems. That's why their pipelines are full of phantom revenue. I broke down the math in this 12-min video — including why solving a $500K problem is easier than solving a $50K problem. Watch free: loom.com/share/9957cb38…

Most people chase YouTube views. But views don’t pay the bills. Clients do. I turned a single YouTube video into multiple high-ticket clients, without going viral. Here’s the full story + playbook 🧵

@WaldronLewis It's all about turning disasters into comebacks! There's probably something enticing about converting a controversial past into an unforgettable future marketing saga.

Someone just paid $245,000 for the Fyre Festival brand on eBay. Yep, THAT Fyre Festival - cheese sandwiches, stranded passengers, landed the founder in jail. Why would anyone pay a quarter million for a brand synonymous with fraud and failure? Here are 3 reasons why it actually makes perfect sense: 𝟏. 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡-𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐁𝐮𝐲𝐞𝐫𝐬 We know for certain that at least 5,000 people on that email list already spent $900-$250,000 on luxury experiences. That's not interest - that's verified purchase behavior for premium products. 𝟐. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐖𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧'𝐭 𝐁𝐮𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝 The buyer saw past the toxic brand to the real asset: that audience. Social media followers are rented. Email subscribers are owned. Even when your brand implodes spectacularly, that direct line to your audience retains real value. 𝟑. 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 With everyone focused on the scandal, nobody else saw the opportunity. Well, almost nobody - Ryan Reynolds' agency Maximum Effort was bidding too. The Fyre Festival brand was worthless. But those email addresses? Pure golden goodness. They didn't buy the brand, they bought an audience - founders take note!

Imagine not trying to design your ideal life.

It doesn't matter who you are, it matters that you own the narrative: > You're not small; you're boutique > You don't lack technology; you provide a personal service > You're not winging it; you're agile Language can be the life and death of a business.

@EricMelillo_ What's your favorite system or tool you used to grow your audience?

How I grew my audience from 1k → 17k in less than a year 🧵 No hacks. No paid ads. Just simple systems anyone can use. Here’s exactly what worked 👇

@EricMelillo_ Totally agree with this! Anytime I focused on highlighting the real pain points and offering extra bonuses, it made a world of difference in how my offers were received. These steps really resonate!

Most offers don’t fail because the product is bad. They fail because the offer isn’t clear or compelling. Here are 6 steps to make any offer irresistible 1️⃣ Define your ICP 2️⃣ Nail your core promise 3️⃣ Paint the pain + dream outcome 4️⃣ Stack value with bonuses 5️⃣ Create urgency 6️⃣ Show proof early Simple, clear, and proven. Fix your offer → watch sales speed up.

@Deepaknadar59 It's amazing what a bit of automation magic can do! Got my latest video boosting past even my camera-present ones, too. Technology rocks!

Multiple videos hitting 60K+ views 📈 All AI. Zero camera time. This is what happens when you stop filming and start automating.

@EricMelillo_ Focus really is all about drilling down to habits. Once you start trimmin’ the noise, it’s wild how much clearer your mind can get. Swipe the little stuff off your mental plate and boom—you’re laser locked in. Those tips better be power moves!

95% of people struggle to focus. I was one of them. I wasn’t even able to read for 5 minutes without getting distracted by a Butterfly that was flying around outside. Now I get more done in 1 hour than in 8 hours of "hustling". Here are 7 simple tips to 10x your focus:

The last 5 years turned social into fast food. Tastes good. Empty after. Hurts if you live on it. I’m not “delete your apps and move to a cabin.” I’m “use the machine without letting it use you.” The model I use now has 3 levels of creators: • Level 1: Trend Jackers • Level 2: Brilliant Nobodies • Level 3: Value Creators My story: I was stuck in Level 2. Smart ideas. Long posts. No distribution. I blamed “the algorithm” like it was a person. A few weeks ago, I swallowed my pride and sprinted through Level 1. Hooks. Short form. Cold opens. Yes, it felt cringe. But i'm finding my way into Level 3. Same attention skills from Level 1. Same depth from Level 2. But every post points to a single mission and a product that solves a real problem. Quick map of the levels: Level 1: Trend Jackers – High dopamine, low meaning – Lives on hooks, cuts, hot takes – Goes viral, fades fast Level 2: Brilliant Nobodies – High meaning, low dopamine – Great ideas, zero packaging – Hates marketing, stays unknown Level 3: Value Creators – Uses attention on purpose – Clear throughline, clear offer – Short form opens the door, long form changes behavior Why this matters: the feed rewards “one marshmallow now.” If you want to build anything real, you need to steal that attention and route it to depth. The transition playbook I used (simple, not easy): Step 1: Pick one mission line. What result do you exist to deliver? One sentence. No buzzwords. Step 2: Package the mission for the feed. Write 20 hooks. Record 10 short takes. Kill the worst 7. Post the best 3. Step 3: Ship depth weekly. One long video or essay that actually teaches, not performs. Step 4: Build an offer that solves the root cause. No “inspiration products.” Real outcome, clear timeline, defined path. Step 5: Loop it. Shorts → long form → offer → client proof → back to shorts. Attention becomes meaning. Meaning becomes results. Signs you’re stuck: Level 1 trap: You can’t remember yesterday’s post. Level 2 trap: You think marketing is “selling out.” Level 3 filter: Every piece ladders up to the same promise. My commitment for the next 12 months: One mission. Weekly depth. Daily reps. Proof bank on display. If I drift, call me out. If you’re serious about moving up a level, reply “LEVEL” and tell me which one you’re in. I’ll drop a tailored next step for you. Save this thread and check back in 90 days. Your feed should look different—and so should your results.

@carmelosalern I totally get it, had a similar experience in my early days. Used it as motivation, and here I am today. Quitters never reach the top! Keep pushing!

Last year I was just a broke video editor. I thought my first $300 client would change everything. He paid me $150 upfront… and then a week later told me he didn’t want to work with me anymore. That moment crushed me. I questioned myself, wondered if I should even keep going. But I didn’t quit. I kept learning, improving, and trusting God through the process. Now, a year later, I’m building what I believe will become the #1 YouTube client acquisition agency. I’m not there yet. But I’m on the way. And I thank God every day for giving me the strength to keep moving forward. Crazy how much can change in just 12 months if you refuse to give up.

@liftwithnitto So what's your go-to meal for prepping that keeps it simple but still gets those gains?

Take 1 hour, yes just 1 hour and meal prep for the week. It doenst need to be anything fancy - just give yourself some control in a world where most things you cannot
