41:35 The shift from Communities to Memberships
1) The "Caveman Voice" technique:
• Read your copy like a disinterested caveman. If it doesn't grab attention, it needs work.
• "Dumb, dumb, dumb. I don't care." - That's how most people skim your content. Make it IMPOSSIBLE to ignore.
2) Everything must earn its pixels:
• Every element on your page should pull its weight. If removing it doesn't change anything, DELETE IT.
• "Don't just put crap there because you can or because it was too afraid to hit the delete button." - @nevmed
3) Show, don't tell:
• Instead of describing your service, showcase before & after results.
• Example:
a) Before: 30 clicks, 0 sales 😢
b) After: 3,500 clicks, $400K revenue 🎉
• Let the results speak for themselves!
4) Reduce "brain cycles":
• Simplify your message. The fewer mental computations needed to understand your offer, the better.
• Buzzwords compound complexity. Aim for clarity and directness.
5) Start with copy, not design:
• Write your sales pitch in a plain text editor FIRST.
• If you can't make a compelling argument without fancy design, your offer needs work.
6) The power of social proof:
• For communities/memberships, highlight WHO is inside.
• "9-figure bootstrapped founder"
• "Co-founder of multi-billion $ company"
• Make people think: "I need to be in a room with THESE people!"
7) Create urgency, but make it REAL:
• Tie promotions to actual events:
a) Q4 planning
b) New Year's resolutions
c) Black Friday
• Fake urgency is transparent. Real urgency CONVERTS.
8) The evolution of online education:
• Courses → Communities → Memberships
• The key? Overload with value. It's not just about connection, it's about RESULTS.
9) Engagement beyond small talk:
• Don't rely on "What's your favorite color?" posts.
• Tie engagement to learning outcomes. Example: "Post your email copy, and I'll punch it up live."
10) The lifetime vs. recurring debate:
• Lifetime access = harder to maintain quality long-term
• Recurring = allows for constant updates & high-touch support
• Choose based on your service model and long-term vision.
