Local YouTube For Cash Confidential – The Complete Guide To 6 Figures With YouTube Commercials
Introduction
YouTube says that there's 300 hours of new videos uploaded to this site every
minute, three times more than one year earlier, and that around three quarters
of the material comes from outside the USA. So, 800 million unique users a
month. I've heard that that's a billion now and so you just need to understand
that there's a massive opportunity to market yourself on YouTube.
YouTube is still the wild, wild west. Facebook is now not such a great place to
advertise for local businesses. With YouTube someone watches your video and
then they go watch a whole bunch more videos, which is super powerful.
The social media giant has over a 1 billion users and people are watching 50%
more video on the platform year over year. For marketers and small business
owners, this represents a huge opportunity to get in front of a target audience.
Because the YouTube ad format relies solely on video, the platform can seem a
little daunting at first. When you can give a great ROI (return on investment)
for your client you will have a client for life. Instead of learning anything about
marketing to generate new clients, customers or patients for their business,
they just concentrate on the business and not the marketing.
The only type of clients we will deal with are those that are willing to work
with us and see the need. You can achieve your financial target with a
small number of clients. We just need to get the first client and our
objective is then get the next client, then the next.

I will show you how the platform works, including pre-roll ad ideas and the
process you need to go through in order to get a return on investment for video
content.
Non-skippable ads are ads that force people to watch. They can only be 15-20
seconds long. These are pre-roll ad campaigns, meaning to view the desired
video content, the ad will appear.
These kinds of ads get better engagement, but they also have a higher video
view abandonment rate.
These ads also tend to get a bad rap because they seem forceful. But, if your ads
are good and targeted effectively, they don’t need to represent trouble. In fact,
good ads will be shared on social media for entertainment purposes in their
own right.
4
Local YouTube For Cash Confidential – The Complete Guide To 6 Figures With YouTube Commercials
Skippable ads are also known as TrueView ads. These are ads that don’t force
people to watch. These can be shown in two ways: ‘In-stream’ and ‘In-display.’
YouTube doesn’t really say that there is a maximum length for TrueView video
content ads.
What they do provide, however, are some suggestions — especially for the In-
stream ads.
51% of In-stream ads are an ad format that run for 15-30 seconds.
If you want to make your ads longer than this, you may want to keep your video
length at around 3 minutes (as YouTube has suggested).
In-display ads don’t exactly have a suggested maximum run time. These ads can
be used to take people directly to a YouTube video, so you can get away with
them being long. 25% of videos watched on Tablets are 60 minutes or more.
5
Local YouTube For Cash Confidential – The Complete Guide To 6 Figures With YouTube Commercials
So, if the video you want to advertise is long and of value — In-display may
work best for you.
In any case, if you’re creating a YouTube ad from scratch, you might want to
keep it short so that it’s easy to create.
You don’t have to stick to the suggestions provided, but doing so will reduce the
chances of your ad being rejected.
In-stream are a pre-roll ad shown at the start of video content. These are one of
the more common ad types that people use when advertising on YouTube.
People don’t necessarily mind watching ‘In-stream ads.’ A study once found
that 72% of ‘In-stream video ads’ are watched to the end.
If you’re new to YouTube Ads, In-stream ads can be a great way to get in on the
video view game. In-stream can be used to achieve a variety of goals.
6
Local YouTube For Cash Confidential – The Complete Guide To 6 Figures With YouTube Commercials
You can also create a form of YouTube Ads called In-Display Ads. These are ads
that are shown in the search listings, related videos section or as video overlays.
You’ll notice there that there is a box on the far right that mentions ‘On partner
websites.’
Because we’re only advertising on the YouTube site, this option is not open to
us. In-display ads aren’t as invasive as the other types of ads that we’ve
discussed so far. That doesn’t mean that they’re not any good, though, as they
can still generate results for your campaigns.
YouTube is the 2nd biggest search engine in the world. If it costs too much for
you to advertise in the Google search listings, there is a different ad format. You
can advertise in the YouTube search listings instead.

You only need 2 clients from each of the six counties…just two! That would
bring the total number of clients to 12. If the lowest fee you charge per month
is $750 for leads, the figures are computed below.
Now think about doubling your efforts! That is life changing money.
When you get 1 or 2 clients, they will definitely refer their friends and your
new venture will be booming! Forget right now about the 12 clients. After you
get that first…what would 3 clients mean to you? 5 clients? An extra $3,000
per month means a lot to a lot of people.

Case Study
Once I secured my first client, I wanted to do a quick case study. I had an $800
a month client so I made my targeted ad spend $225 for the first month. I
ended up spending $190 which wasn’t bad at all.
For the roofing client I am working with, in the first month I generated 27
phone calls for him. We used 5 different cities around Fort Myers, so there were
5 different tracking numbers used. That is over a call per day. My client closed
six new roofing customers for over $70,000 in new revenue.
The majority of the phone calls came in the third and fourth week. As I tweaked
the process and targeting I got better at getting the phone to ring. I show you
how to do that in the course. Once you get that process down you will have no
problem generating leads for your clients.

Goal Setting
By setting up a proper goal statement, you get a great picture of what you want
to achieve and things that are simply a waste of time can be done away with.
Learning how to set goals is the first step towards getting the life that you want.
If, for example, you love working with commercial clients but find individual
clients frustrating, consider setting a goal to increase the work that you would
prefer to do. At this point, do not censor the goals. According to Jim Rohn, we
should set as many as 50 goals. This may initially be a little daunting so start
out by setting 5-10 goals. Make sure that these are goals that you actually want
to achieve for yourself.
11
Local YouTube For Cash Confidential – The Complete Guide To 6 Figures With YouTube Commercials
Create a vision board of your goals, using pictures that represent each one. Put
your board somewhere where you see it every day. This will be a constant
reminder.
Believe in Them
If you ever read the "Secret" by Rhonda Byrne, you would know that for goals to
really work, you must believe in them wholeheartedly. It is pointless setting a
goal to earn a hundred thousand dollars a month if you do not believe it is
possible. Now is the time to review your goals and make sure that they are
achievable in your mind.
12
Local YouTube For Cash Confidential – The Complete Guide To 6 Figures With YouTube Commercials
Overall, you are the one who determines whether you achieve your own goals,
whether they are business or personal goals. The scary thing to acknowledge is
that your future really is up to you and goal setting helps you to map out this
future.
“The ultimate reason for setting goals is to entice you to become the person it
takes to achieve them.” - Jim Rohn
So, get on with becoming the person you want to be, and your business success
will shine through too.

The expectations from your new clients is that you will be able to accomplish
the main goal of bringing them new customers. The other objective is to
enhance their online platforms or SEO, but the main goal here is acquiring
new customers. They want to grow financially. Once we have the trust and
have brought new customers, we can then work on social media, websites,
SEO, etc.
Offline consultants will always have a major issue. If you decide to create a
website, the intention is to increase traffic and the number of customers. You
hope to use social media to get the customers. But the main problem here is
whether you be able to convince customers to look for your client’s business
and bring the leads after upgrading the SEO. There is some doubt here.
All the parties involved will benefit because even if you decide to charge
clients a monthly fee or per lead basis, your clients will gain by getting leads
on a constant basis each month. This means more money to both parties.
What you will do is use YouTube ads with a call tracking number in the
title description for the clients. The call tracking number will show the
leads that are coming in and this is our proof to get paid.

You can’t argue that even though a local business owner understands that
commercials sell, they've been conditioned to see commercials in the local
space, for many, many decades, and going back to the point of radio-only
commercials and back to the '40s. You know, pre-TV. These local business
owners understand commercials.
They understand what the internet is, but they might not understand the
specifics of YouTube advertising and stream ads, so keep it simple and straight
to the point. You'll do wonders and that's my tips for how to sell on the local
level. How to sell these commercials. Of course, you can take your phone and
maybe show them a little sample, but again, it's just too much. You know, just
keep it straight to the point. Five second hit.
Video works for lead generation only if someone watches it. If your
prospect list is small, the video is unlikely to magically end up in people’s
hands. If the video has amazing shock value that entertains, it may spread like
wildfire. More often than not, however, it’s your known methods of distribution
that support the video’s effectiveness for generating leads.
For instance, if you are targeting new prospects, you can offer them an
explainer video containing a call-to-action that takes them to a product tour,
followed by a link where they can download a whitepaper or another video that
talks about setting up a trial.
By planning your video marketing campaign carefully, you can achieve your
goals easily!
So, now you know how to utilize videos to generate high quality leads and
ensure better conversion rates. But you still might have one question in mind:
Here are the five types of videos that can aid lead generation:
These are simple and straightforward videos that offer the visitors with enough
information about products or services. Though explainer videos are considered
to be top-of-the-funnel marketing videos; if the videos are engaging enough,
you can successfully drive your audience further down the funnel.
16

3. Testimonials
Testimonial videos are specifically very effective since they address how your
brand is helping people solve their problems. This helps you position yourself
as a reliable solution provider and win viewer trust.
These videos act similar to testimonial videos since they dig deeper into the
specifics of a particular case. Case study videos work best for visitors who are
closer to the bottom of the sales funnel and help in converting them to
customers. Case study videos validate your success stories and thus help you
win visitors’ trust.
5. Promotional Videos
17
Local YouTube For Cash Confidential – The Complete Guide To 6 Figures With YouTube Commercials
1. You will prospect for your client. You can either do this by running
YouTube ads which is covered in this course. You can look for prospects
that have a video on the first page of the YouTube search, but the video
isn’t ranked on Google. Do a “fake audit” email or use other prospecting
outlined in the course.
2. Make the presentation to the prospect via “winning the bet” and closing
the initial test. The bet is for gaining exposure (YouTube ad) and getting
phone calls coming into the business (call tracking number).
3. Set up the YouTube ad and begin the process. You will be using a call
tracking number to prove that you generated phone calls.
4. After 14 days, you will go back to the business owner and show him the
call tracking detail and close him for a monthly fee for running his
“online commercials”

Let’s talk about how you’d actually set up your YouTube ads.
As mentioned, there are ‘skippable ads’ and ‘non-skippable ads.’ The
process of setting each one up requires a different approach.
Let’s take a look at how you’d set up a ‘non-skippable ad.’ First, go to
your AdWords account. You can do this by
visiting https://adwords.google.com.
You should then see this page.
You’ll need to click on the ‘Campaign’ button, so that you can create a
new ‘non-skippable’ ads campaign.
19
Local YouTube For Cash Confidential – The Complete Guide To 6 Figures With YouTube Commercials
When you click on the ‘Campaign’ button, you’ll need to select the
‘Display Network only,’ option.
You then need to pick a location for your campaign. You don’t need to
focus just on the US, as 80% of traffic for YouTube comes from outside
of the US. You’re not going to be stuck with the options you choose
here, so don’t worry if you want to later change the location.
20
Local YouTube For Cash Confidential – The Complete Guide To 6 Figures With YouTube Commercials
Even if you do mess things up, you can just create a fresh, more
advanced campaign, after you’ve learned how to set up the basics of a
‘non-skippable’ campaign.
When you scroll down the page, you’ll see some more options. I would
leave the ‘bid strategy’ as it is for now, as well as the ‘ad extensions’
option. You do, however, need to focus on the Budget field. This is the
amount that you can afford to spend, per day, on your ads. You can
change this later.
For now, just put in a modest figure that you can afford. Remember to
change it later, though, if you need to.
21
Local YouTube For Cash Confidential – The Complete Guide To 6 Figures With YouTube Commercials
For the moment, you do not need to adjust the Advanced settings.
Nevertheless, if you’re good at AdWords, you may want to dabble a bit
here. For newbies, though, I wouldn’t worry about it.
Once you’ve filled in the relevant options, click on the ‘Save and
Continue’ button.
22
Local YouTube For Cash Confidential – The Complete Guide To 6 Figures With YouTube Commercials
You’ll then need to pick how you’re going to target your Ad Group. This
is essentially how you’re going to decide who sees your video.
Important: In the targeting section you need to pick the placement of
Youtube.com.
By picking the placement option of YouTube, you ensure that your ads
are only going to be shown on the YouTube website.
23
Local YouTube For Cash Confidential – The Complete Guide To 6 Figures With YouTube Commercials
Type in YouTube and select the option that has 2.5B-3B impressions
per week by clicking on the double arrows.
Now, let’s focus on how we’re going to target our ad, so that it is shown
to the right people.
If you’re new to YouTube advertising, the easiest way to target your ads
is by selecting the ‘Topics’ option.
24
Local YouTube For Cash Confidential – The Complete Guide To 6 Figures With YouTube Commercials
Let’s say that I wanted to target people interested in SEO. I would just
enter the topic ‘SEO’ and then select the relevant options that show up.
You’ll notice that there is a graphic on the right-hand side of the page
that lets you know how many impressions your ads might get.
What you see in this graphic correlates with how your ad is being
targeted.
25
Local YouTube For Cash Confidential – The Complete Guide To 6 Figures With YouTube Commercials
This graphic gives you a sense of potential. When the number is high,
there is greater ability to show your ad without it becoming saturated.
Once you’ve chosen your topics, click on ‘Save and Continue.’
On the next page, you’ll be offered the chance to create an ad. However,
you can’t create the ‘non-skippable’ ad format on this page.
So just click on ‘Skip ad creation.’
You should then see this page. Click on the Ads tab.
26
Local YouTube For Cash Confidential – The Complete Guide To 6 Figures With YouTube Commercials
27
Local YouTube For Cash Confidential – The Complete Guide To 6 Figures With YouTube Commercials
They're going to get a ton of traffic, a ton of click-throughs, and whether it's
making a reservation at the restaurant, or making appointment for an oil
change, or maybe a consultation for a lawyer and so forth, we're talking
about a major amount of traffic here that you can't get through TV
anymore.
It's just not there. This is going to be the majority of your ads. You're going
to be doing in-stream ads. This is the page where you get the chance to
upload your video. As discussed before, a ‘non-skippable’ video can only be
15-20 seconds long.
Either provide the YouTube video link or upload the video now. Be sure to
check the video on your mobile device to ensure it is clear even on a tiny
screen.
28
Local YouTube For Cash Confidential – The Complete Guide To 6 Figures With YouTube Commercials
Once you’ve provided the video, enter a ‘Display URL’ and a ‘Landing
Page URL.’
The Landing Page URL is the webpage that people will be taken to
when they click on your video.
The Display URL is just that — the URL that is displayed, but not
necessarily the one that the viewer is taken to when they click on the
ad.
Now, you’ll have to wait for AdWords to approve your ad. Which
doesn’t take long.
29
Local YouTube For Cash Confidential – The Complete Guide To 6 Figures With YouTube Commercials
Let’s take a look at how you can create ‘skippable ads.’ As you know,
you can create In-stream ads and In-display ads.
This time select ‘Video’ from the ‘+ Campaign’ drop down menu.
30
Local YouTube For Cash Confidential – The Complete Guide To 6 Figures With YouTube Commercials
Enter a ‘Campaign name’ and then set a budget for the campaign.
Important: Deselect ‘Videos on Google partner sites, apps and the
Display Network.’ Pick a location for your ad campaign, in terms of
where you want it to be targeting. You’ll also need to pick a language
for your campaign.
You have the option here to pick the mobile device type you want to
target. This, of course, will depend on what kind of campaign you’re
looking to create.
31
Local YouTube For Cash Confidential – The Complete Guide To 6 Figures With YouTube Commercials
Name your ad group and paste in the link to the YouTube video that
you want to advertise.
As you can see, you have the option here to select ‘In-stream ad’ or ‘In-
display ad.
If you pick ‘In-stream ad,’ you’ll see the following options.
32
Local YouTube For Cash Confidential – The Complete Guide To 6 Figures With YouTube Commercials
It’s not that complicated to fill in the fields. Supply a display URL and
a Final URL (the page that viewers are taken to when they click on the
video).
In terms of the companion banner, you can upload some of your own
images or let YouTube select the images for you. Images are normally
created using your video content.
Here you need to enter a headline and a description. Creating headlines and
a description is an art in itself and can help get that video view.
If you want to create a great headline, make sure it calls out to people who
are relevant to your video.
For example, if I were targeting people who need SEO services I could say
— ‘Need help with SEO?’
If you target your ads by keyword, then ensure that this ad has the keyword
in the headline. An example might be ‘Learn how to write blog posts for
SEO.’
33
Local YouTube For Cash Confidential – The Complete Guide To 6 Figures With YouTube Commercials
If you can incorporate how-to into your titles, you’re increasing the chances
of this ad format succeeding.
Area, of course, is really important for local, so use zip codes. Zip codes are
not all created equal. Some zip codes, there's more money. If you're doing
home improvement, some zip codes might be really wealthy, all
homeowners, while another zip code might be all renters.
Obviously, renters are not going to be looking for home improvements, but
homeowners would. So, you could actually target your local audience and
segment them by demographics. So, either case you're going to do really
well with YouTube ads here, and then bumper ads are basically just the
ones that you can't skip.
If you’re used to using Facebook Ads, you’ll find that there is a lot of
transfer between the two platforms. In essence, though this a different kind
of ad, the same principles apply.
You could even argue that YouTube is the intersection between AdWords
and Facebook Ads.
When you select the In-display option, you can decide if you want your ad
to take people to the video you’re advertising, or to your channel page.
34
Local YouTube For Cash Confidential – The Complete Guide To 6 Figures With YouTube Commercials
The option you choose will depend on how well populated your channel
page is and, more importantly, your goals for the campaign.
If you just want people to watch your video, you may want to take them
straight to the video page.
You’ll also need to set your bid. But, before you do that, it might be
better to set your targeting options first.
For this kind of ad, you don’t need to set the placement as YouTube.
In terms of the targeting the video view, you can just follow the steps I
laid out earlier in the course.
35
Local YouTube For Cash Confidential – The Complete Guide To 6 Figures With YouTube Commercials
It’s important to set your bidding after this, as your bidding suggestions
will change as a result of setting your targeting.
You can see that that my ‘Cost Per View’ suggestions have now gone up
as a result of targeting my videos differently.
36
Local YouTube For Cash Confidential – The Complete Guide To 6 Figures With YouTube Commercials
When it comes to setting a bid, start at the top, so that you can quickly
get a sense of how well your ads are working. When you enter a bid
amount, you’ll find that you get some suggestions on what the results
will be.
You can see that there is an estimate of 0-700 views per week, at the
budget level I have set. Even though I’ve set a top-end bid, the
suggestions still sit at around 19 cents per view.
A lot of students ask me about budget and how much they should spend,
what is a good budget per day, how much should be spent for a total
campaign, and I just want to say the whole goal is to test, test, and test. It
really depends on your budget per day but then it's also about your bid.
Depending on what your ad is, and what your target is, will really determine
what your budget is.
If you know your bid amount, if you're trying to do maybe four cents per
view or one cent per view, and you want to spend maybe $30 a day, let's say
37
Local YouTube For Cash Confidential – The Complete Guide To 6 Figures With YouTube Commercials
that you want to get four cents per view; let's divide that by .04 and that'll
give us 750 views at a rate of four cents per view a day.
If you're going be spending say $100 per day and you want to bid only one
cent per view then you just divide by one cent and then out of $100 you're
going to get 10,000 views per day.
You can then link your AdWords account to your YouTube channel. This is
a good idea, because it will let you gather a lot of useful data that you can
later use to improve your campaigns.
Once you’ve linked your channel, go back and click the ‘Finish’ button.
Now, you just have to wait for your ads to be approved by AdWords.
38

If too many people are skipping your videos, you might also want to
experiment with just changing the first five seconds of your video.
It could be that your social media videos are not hooking people in as well
as they should be. When it comes to ‘non-skippable’ ads, the metrics you
want to watch out for are different.
40
Local YouTube For Cash Confidential – The Complete Guide To 6 Figures With YouTube Commercials
Of course, if your CTR is low, then it might just be the case that your
video is not good enough. It may, for instance, be that your video is not
delivering your message clearly.
As a result, viewers will not know what the video is about and so they
will not feel compelled to click on it to visit the website on the other
side.
You should not always blame your videos and your ads for poor
performance, when running a paid YouTube campaign.
That’s because your ads might be designed to encourage people to visit
a website or social media conversion.
But, if your website is not optimized for conversions, then it’s not going
to turn website visitors into leads or customers.
41
Local YouTube For Cash Confidential – The Complete Guide To 6 Figures With YouTube Commercials
You can access the analytics, by going to the ‘Creator Studio’ and
clicking on analytics.
Using the data provided, you can reduce your ad spend and improve
your conversions. You’ll be able to show more of your ads to people
that care about your offering because you’ll continue to refine your
campaigns.
Ads is just so amazing. I love the fact that we can choose the location,
whether it's country, city, or state, where we want to show your ad.

It doesn't matter what business you're in. If you're in a dental business, and
you're trying to promote cleanings, that you're doing a sale on cleanings or
Invisalign, and your shop is in Nashville, well, then, maybe you don't want
all of the United States and Canada. You want to specify.
Well, you can click on here, and you can enter, "Nashville," and you can
type your city right in there, and then you can just click, "Nashville," so that
your ad only shows in Nashville. How awesome is that?
Maybe you've got multiple stores all across the state of Tennessee, and not
just in Nashville. Maybe you've got multiple locations. Well, then, you can
just type, "Tennessee" in. You know? And there's the state of Tennessee.
You know, you could do Texas, or you could do multiple ones. You can add,
depending on where your reach is, and what your business is in.
The great thing about YouTube ads are that you can use them for your
prospecting or you can use them for your clients lead generation. Both work
well together. In the course I have laid out the formula for setting the
YouTube ads up in your AdWords account. If you are working with your
client simply use the demographics they are looking for with their ideal
client.
On the other hand, you can look for businesses that need advertising help,
SEO, website development…the list is endless.

And the answer is that you find them at a common meeting place,
which is an assembly point for people who have common interests or

Audits. Website audits, SEO audits, and Social Media Audits all add
value to any prospective customer’s condition. And my suggestion is to
offer them for free, even though you could also sell them if they are
thorough enough. A local business as a business owner is always trying
to evaluate their own business, but they don’t have the experience or
know how to truly evaluate their own digital marketing efforts. This
method is great combined with the LinkedIn method.
I can tell you from talking with a lot of local businesses, usually this is
something that they always want to get fixed. They want their
information to be correct out there on the internet. If their business
hours were wrong, or a phone number was wrong, address is wrong, or
even their business name has some sort of inconsistency to it, then this
is something usually a lot of business owners want to look at.
Below in the LinkedIn method I talk about giving a free audit as a “foot
in the door”. This is a great way to contact someone and be of service
and offer value that your competition will not do.

The people that are more likely at first to connect when we request are
auto sales and advertising sales. That will build your connections
number up so that you can begin to target contractors, HVAC,
Plumbers, Pest Control, etc.
46
Local YouTube For Cash Confidential – The Complete Guide To 6 Figures With YouTube Commercials
Start reaching out to auto sales people, advertising sales, and realtors.
These are professions that I found that are happy to connect on
LinkedIn. We are doing this only for number of connections.
Once we have around 100 connections you can start this approach as
well. You should send no more than 15-20 invite to connects a day. You
can do a search for Local businesses all over the country.
You can view unlimited profiles per day. The following day see who
viewed your profile. Those contractors who viewed your profile are free
to connect with. Send them an invite using the email template we
discussed.
When the Local business is your connection, you are going to send a
friendly, non-invasive email to them. You are going to thank them for
the connection and let them know that you can be of service.

The letter that I send out is in the attachments included in the course.
The first step is to create a hot 100 list. Now, this list is not a list of
prospects. If you've done your job, and you've gone through the other
LinkedIn lesson, you've learned in this course how to optimize your
profile. If you don't have a couple of articles or blog posts published on
that on your LinkedIn profile by now, you're not doing the action steps
that are being taught in this course.
That means every day, spending 10 or 15 minutes, and just add 10, or
20, or 30 people to your network. Every day. If you do this every day,
you'll have over 600 by the end of the month. New connections. So,
who do you add as connections, besides your prospects? You add
people who do business with your Local businesses prospects.

Grab the top five for ten, go into LinkedIn and do a 50-mile radius. And
then, type in employer keywords, like payroll services, or type in the
employer of the ones that you found the top companies. And then, type
in keyword sales, or type in keyword account management.
Because that's a very rich source of getting referrals. But, this is a cool
underground way to get referrals that most people aren't doing, which
is why it's effective.

Now, if I've met Jim, but I haven't done business with him, but I've
heard good things about Jim. Then, I can go ahead and recommend
Jim. But, I usually only recommend people that I know, who I've met.
And I can, at least if I've met them. I can say, I've met Jim, I've spent
time with him, he's a real personable guy. I highly recommend him
anyone looking for payroll services.
If you can't recommend, then at the very least, endorse them. That's
just when you give them a little plus click next to one of their skill sets.
And your face shows up on their profile, and they also get notified that
you're one of the people who recently endorsed them and/or
recommended them, which keeps you top of mind.
They, then, are more likely to go to your profile and see, who is it that's
recommending me? Who's endorsing me? Be like, oh man, there's Jim.
There's Joe. There's Matt. There's Mary.

That gives you step three, which is, give them a referral. I don't care
who you are. Every single one of you reading this knows of another
business owner, even somebody who might have told you no. This
works great with people you think should have bought from you, who
you thought were going to, who told you no.
And you do that introduction through LinkedIn. And you just copy, CC
both the people. Right there, inside of LinkedIn. And you can put in the
subject line, an introduction, or you can put, a referral for you.
Now, remember. They don't have to get business from this person. I
know a lot of small business owners. Most of them are already happy
with their payroll services. But, do I think everybody should have a
backup resource to turn to if their payroll service company fails them or
goes sour?
There's nothing wrong with saying, hey Jim, I know you probably
haven't switched payroll in 10 years, but if you ever have something go
haywire, this would be the person I recommend to you to have in your
back pocket. I want you guys to meet each other and say hi.

This is just common business practice, and people really appreciate it.
Now, both sides appreciate it, to be quite honest with you. But, the
person who's in your top 100, who you're trying to stay top of mind to,
that they might refer you now to somebody that they are connected to,
is powerful.
You're just going ask for an introduction. Say, hey Jim, I see you're
connected to Oakville Chiropractic and Sports Injury, and I know they
have two facilities and they're located right there in Atlanta. And I
service the Atlanta area. And, I would love an introduction, if you
happen to know that person even a little bit. Would you be willing to do
that for me?
Wrap your head around this before we finish this video. People who sell
payroll services, merchant services, POS systems, insurance, get what?
They get paid commission every month that those clients stay a client.
So, they don't want them to struggle and go out of business.

So, if they can find somebody reliable like you to refer for them, then
it's genuinely helping their business. It's helping them make more
money, too.
So, it serves them to ask them to refer you to someone that you can
help. Just tell them the truth. Say, look, there might be somebody that
you as one of your clients that you don't want to lose because they go
out of business. Is there anybody you know who's struggling who
happens to also be a local business?

You will want to look for businesses that have a poor reputation, no
website or a poor website. Those are the Local businesses that really do
not understand marketing.
I hear all the time from my private coaching students that getting
through the gatekeeper is one of the toughest things to do. Hogwash, I
have the way to their heart. The “donut method” is the easiest way to
get through the gatekeeper and meet with the office manager or local
business.
This is how you can get your first client. It is a 3-step process. It works
well. It involves the Law Of Reciprocity. If you do something nice for
someone, chances are…they will do something nice for you.

4) Come back at the end of the day and ask for the appointment.
Prospecting with cold email still works. However, it is the least effective
of the methods. It is never a bad thing to mix up all the prospecting
methods. Never rely on only one.
This process is straight forward. We are going to look for auto repair
shops that are advertising because they are looking for new customers.
They are spending money to acquire new business. So, they will gladly
open the check book to a consultant they know, like and trust. And it
just so happens if you are using the Ringless Voice Mail method you
will have a lot of email addresses to send to. Below are other ways to
find businesses to email. There are a bunch of ways to skin the cat.

Fake Audits
A great way to get started and only spend time talking to interested
people and creating video audits for people who want to do business
with you is to go out and created fake audits. You aren’t creating
anything. You are sending an email to people that have issues on their
sites.
What I like to do is go out and make the audits. And what I would is I
would end up following up with that phone call, and I would say, "Hey,
I just wanted to follow up on that email I sent to you guys."
And of course, they have no idea what I'm talking about. Come to find
out, they never even looked at the email, or in a lot of cases, they would
go and open the email and then they wouldn't watch the video. They
would admit, yeah, I got that email and maybe I thought it was spam or
whatever, and they just ignored it.
What you do is take a screen shot of their video and put it in your
prospecting email. What you do is send an email first that has a
screenshot of their website, and in that screenshot, you can overlay
kind of like a video player or a video button. You can do this by using
Snagit and taking a screen shot.
You send them an email and tell them that there is an issue on their
video you found on YouTube. Don’t put the YouTube link in the email.
The emails I use are in the latter part of the course. The idea is that you
are telling them they have an issue you can help them with. The real
issue is that the video is doing nothing for their business.
56
Local YouTube For Cash Confidential – The Complete Guide To 6 Figures With YouTube Commercials
They will respond with a question usually about the video doesn’t work
when they click on the screen. So, they are interested, and it is much
easier working with interested people. I’m sure you will agree.
This is a just a concept that I really want you to think about because it
is going to save you a lot of time. Ultimately, you're not going to be
spending all this time doing these video audits and then come to find
out later that people haven't watched them.
When selling your service, you just want the next step. The first step is the
initial contact. The next step is the getting the appointment. The next step
is the sales presentation. The next step is closing the sale. We covered that
earlier in the course.
When you are going through the presentation and talking to your prospect,
keep it simple and to the point. You are not selling YouTube ads. This can
mean a risk and is a dirty word to business owners. They have been burned
too many times before and they get countless calls every week with people
pitching SEO and Facebook ads. You are selling an online commercial.
Think about what is in it for them. Matt Bacak taught me when writing
sales copy always think “WIIFM” “what’s in it for me”. Always think about
what’s in it for your client.
57
Local YouTube For Cash Confidential – The Complete Guide To 6 Figures With YouTube Commercials
They are in business to make money. To make money, they need people or
customers to give them money. Therefore, they need customers, clients,
patients, etc. The perception of SEO, PPC, Facebook Ads is that it is risky. It
will cost them money they are not 100% sure they will ever see back.
Therefore, you want to position yourself as a problem solver. You are going
to get them more customers.
Going through the presentation is an easy process. Use the Power Point
included in the course. When you get to the last slide, that is where the
money is made.
Say to your prospect “Let’s make a bet. What you want is more customers.
Lots of people promise the moon and deliver nothing. I see huge potential
in your business. If I can get you more exposure in 10 days, you pay me
$100. That covers my cost for the short period. Since you are helping me
out I’ll do all my usual work for free. And when I show you more exposure,
and I win the bet, we can talk about what I can really do for you for -
what I normally charge $600 to $1000 per month to do. AND we offer a
100% money back guarantee. Fair enough? Then SHUT UP! He who
speaks first loses.
The first hundred will cover your ad costs and you will make a few bucks.
After that and you roll out the monthly service, in 14 days you might have
the business’s phone ringing.
Do not worry about the money back guarantee. With what I am showing
you, it will not be a problem if 1 out of 10 asks for their money back. You
will be earning 6 figures. It’s the cost of doing business.
58
Local YouTube For Cash Confidential – The Complete Guide To 6 Figures With YouTube Commercials
You will be offering a service from $500 to over $1000 per month for each
client. When you go back to collect your $100, you will want to have with
you the following items:
1. The call report (You will get this from your call tracking dashboard)
2. Your phone or tablet to show them the ranking on Google
3. A contract
Sit down with your client and explain what you did and that the
commercials and the phone calls will keep going as long as the monthly fee
is paid. The great thing is that you can add commercials, test new ones;
there are all different kinds of things to do once you have the client on
board.
Know your market and your client. If there is not a lot of competition, you
can easily keep them ranked and happy for $600 per month. In a higher
competition keyword such as air-conditioning repair and plumbing you
would want to get $900 to $1000 per month. Do not be afraid to ask for the
money. You now have their trust and you have proof.
If you have any of my courses you know that I teach this method and it
works. I see it over and over again with my done for you 3-pack clients and
my coaching students.

When making the commercial here is a PRO TIP: Just keep it simple.
What I like to do is the least amount of work as possible and bring home the
most amount of profits. The way to do this is to not make the commercial.
Have someone make it for you or use an existing video. Your clients should
be able to provide you the video and they should give it to you on YouTube
unlisted.
PRO TIP: You want to use an unlisted video on YouTube. Or if they give
you a video, make sure it is unlisted.
When you're creating the video, I'm going to go ahead and ... Say I'm going
to upload a video, click on upload video, and I upload this video, it's going
to ask me if I want to keep it unlisted. You just click on that button.
That's if you're actually creating the video for them or they give you the
video to upload on a channel. Set it public but keep it unlisted, that way the
ad is not available publicly. In most cases, you're not going to want them to
see the ad publicly on YouTube.
The big thing is keep it simple. You don't have to create the video. You don't
need to use software. That's my recommendation. Now, of course, you can
absolutely go ahead and do that if you want to make more money. But for
the amount of money that you can get for creating the video and the
amount of time and effort, it's not really worth it in my opinion.

What you can do is you can hire out locally to a video professional, let them
do that for you, and then you can just take a commission, maybe 25%. Or
here's another option. Hire somebody locally through Craigslist. Or maybe
you're not in that local area. You're going to have to hire out. Another way is
to get several pictures and send it over to the outsourcers in the course I
have recommended.
You don't have to be a video expert by any means to run this kind of
business. You don't even have to ever touch a video or ever do any editing.
This is why I suggest targeting business owners that have YouTube videos
up that are ranking on YouTube and not Google.
These business owners already have a video ready to go and you just have
to plug and play that video. Make sure they have it up on YouTube. All they
need is a YouTube link to run these ads. That's it. Of course, there are other
options. If you want to create the video yourself using software, you can.
Let's talk about pricing for local businesses. The good thing about YouTube
ads is that you could spend next to nothing and get a ton of results for a
client. Since you are the only one out there who’s selling commercials for
the internet for these clients, you're going to have little competition and
you're also going to have a high margin for profit.
So, for next to nothing you can do this and become an expert, or guru in
your own area, and be that person who local businesses refer to other local
businesses. Your client can get on the internet with a commercial and pay
next to nothing.
61
Local YouTube For Cash Confidential – The Complete Guide To 6 Figures With YouTube Commercials
Just in general, we're going to be spending about one third of what you
charge. So, if they want to spend $500 a month doing commercials online
then you're going to spend about $150 in YouTube ads and profit the rest.
And it just goes up from there.
The more they spend, the better discount they're going to get. It's not an
exact formula by any means, but it just gives you an idea of what has been
working. When they start to see returns, then you are going to be able to
increase their monthly spend which is going to put more money in your
back pocket.
The more they spend with you, try to go ahead and offer them a bonus.
Perhaps extra traffic and just better support. One of these clients could
obviously pay all of our bills. So, for one of these larger clients, you can
provide better retargeting, more detailed ads or throw in some more videos.
One of my students has an attorney client that pays him $3500 a month.
Not bad for one client.
It's not an exact formula, but that's somewhere where you should be,
depending on what kind of clients you're working with. If you're working
for a little, tiny company that doesn't have a whole lot to spend, then you're
probably not going to spend more than three hundred bucks a month on
ads, so about 10 bucks a day.
62
Local YouTube For Cash Confidential – The Complete Guide To 6 Figures With YouTube Commercials
Your goal should be to get the first client and then move on the next. When
that first client starts seeing results you bump his ad spend up. This is
where the big bucks are made.
I don't see a whole lot of local businesses spending much on YouTube ads.
That is why right now it is a great time to start working with local
businesses and running the commercials for them.
It's really a win, win for your new business client and for yourself in
providing a lot of value for them. So, go ahead and establish yourself, brand
yourself as the guy, or the gal, who has this amazing service that nobody
else is offering in your local area. You're going to do really well and so, I'm
excited to see your results
63

Client Getting
We are going to talk about how to bring on new clients. How to sell
commercials for a local. There's definitely a proven way to do this and
here's the first way. Create a spreadsheet. The first thing I like to do is make
a list of every single business in your area that's currently running TV ads.
Then do a Google search and see if any of those videos are showing up on
the first page or second page of Google. Chances are, they aren't. These are
perfect clients. The reason is that business owner know the importance of
video. But they are not using their video to their best advantage. This is
where you come in.
64
Local YouTube For Cash Confidential – The Complete Guide To 6 Figures With YouTube Commercials
You want to approach them with a way to get them more exposure and
more phone calls. You were going to do something similar to winning the
bet in my other courses and I have laid it out in this course. You are offering
more exposure and phone calls and by running the ads you're going to be
able to do that and win your $100 bet that you can make this happen. After
that, you will have a client that will be with you for the long haul.
I like to use the fake audit method when doing this. The fake audit method
is great because it has the picture in the email of their video but there is no
link that works. This will get the business owner to pick up the phone and
call you as opposed to a cold email.
Once you have an interested prospect you want to start with some questions
to build rapport and also gain information. This is going to tell you
everything you need to know to gear your presentation.
Ask how much is being spent right now with on advertising. Have you ever
run TV ads? Were they effective for you? Find out some information first.
Get the conversation going. A lot of businesses think TV ads are too
expensive. And they are! Bottom line here is that we want to get results.
You could be using YouTube ads in particular to get prospects as well. Make
sure the attention is on them. Don't become a salesperson. Become
someone who’s really just interested in their business, curious to see what
kind of ads they're running.
65
Local YouTube For Cash Confidential – The Complete Guide To 6 Figures With YouTube Commercials
Keep it simple and straight to the point. Hey, you're running commercials.
Hey, you're running TV ads. I hear you're running ... have any billboards
right now? What do think? Are you getting results?
Tell them you help local businesses create commercials for the internet. Do
not say, YouTube. Don't say YouTube ads. SEO etc. These are terms that
should not be in your vocabulary when talking to a business. You do
commercials on the internet and you make phones ring. Period. End of
story.
