My Scratch Notes

Sven – Nike has Just Do It! I can’t do that. I can’t think about it like Nike. I have to be more direct.
More specific.

Jeff – Grossly underutilized what I’ve learned over the year. Headline idea:
You’re a Musician
No One Knows You
Let’s Change That
<Start Now>

Bri – Birthday Parties – big following in Alameda. FB ads to 5 miles radius

80/20

ColinEntertains.com – list the options on there

Post your copy on our group

Cliff – Facebook Ads for parents in 10 mile radius of these cities – and use the name of the city right in your ad!

Jeff’s business – big picture

Create Facebook File where we can add our websites – DONE

What can you do with one thing

Robert is going to change his pricing to reflect

Jeff – Value add with meet/greet, hospital appearance, big donors, sponsor events

Sven – functional website this week!!!

Bonus Live Q&A with Brian Keith Voiles

Here is the video replay of the make up Live Q&A. And what a gift to have Brian spend 3 hours with us. Is that guy alive with passion and love, or what?

You can see the list of people he reviewed below. I suggest listening to it all as the immersion will have a positive effect on your mindset about copy and selling.

Chat from this Session

09:01:30 From Jeff Celentano : www.goodvibrationsbeachboys.com
09:01:47 From Jeff Celentano : Not sure ow to best aproach this from a copywriting perspective.
09:01:53 From Alan Rich : www.BeMagicalShow.com
09:02:01 From Alan Rich : would love to get feedback
09:04:05 From Sventastic : Hey All, sorry to say I have to multi-task a bit, so I will be listening in the background and have to leave early for another meeting, but I am listening attentively.
09:04:30 From Jeff Celentano : Hey Sven. Good to have you here in any capacity.
09:04:43 From Barry Friedman : http://thegreatgregoire.com/
09:05:21 From Jeff Celentano : That’s a great looking site although it did take a moment to lead.
09:05:29 From Jeff Celentano : “load” I meant..
09:05:42 From Bri Crabtree to Barry Friedman(Privately) : Can I request to be evaluated in the next 30 min? I have to leave for a gig in 1 hour. I updated all the copy last night.
09:06:12 From meg : Hi All, I see my name, but not in screen – I’m here~
09:06:12 From Barry Friedman to Bri Crabtree(Privately) : Yes! I’ll get it next
09:06:29 From Bri Crabtree to Barry Friedman(Privately) : awesome thanks!
09:11:32 From Jeff Celentano : He’s got all the makings of a good site. Testimonials, videos, corporate logos, etc.
09:12:03 From Jeff Celentano : It’s challenging for entertainer sites because we’re not selling a physical or digital info product.
09:12:08 From ashleyturner : I would book him for sure. Excellent site.
09:13:14 From Jeff Celentano : So, it should be more personalized specifically to him, then?
09:13:54 From Jeff Celentano : Exactly.
09:14:11 From Jeff Celentano : Diggin’ the testimonials though..
09:15:22 From Jeff Celentano : Aside from a few very small tweaks, this looks to be a pretty effective site to my eyes. We’d have to check how his conversions are to get a more acccurate idea.
09:17:58 From David Garrity : organic search?
09:20:24 From Jeff Celentano : Great opening questions, Bri.
09:24:16 From ashleyturner : Bri – this site is a million times better then any uk kids show entertainers. The images are so strong and it really shows personality.
09:24:20 From Alan Rich : I’m not sure I would say a large group. I’m sure you do parties with 10-15 kids.
09:24:56 From meg : Could the copy be a little larger?
09:25:10 From Alan Rich to Barry Friedman(Privately) : wanted to make sure you saw my site: www.BeMagicalShow.com
09:27:16 From Barry Friedman : REalizing there is no “5 minutes” with Brian… I’m here for as long as we have him. Sorry – and HAPPY!
09:27:26 From David Garrity : Yes!
09:27:51 From Alan Rich to Barry Friedman(Privately) : I find more boys want magic shows.
09:39:32 From Alan Rich to Barry Friedman(Privately) : I think it’s harder to read white fonts
09:42:47 From meg : I love that “look into your future” Brian
09:47:24 From David Garrity : Thanks Brian and everyone!
09:53:47 From Jeff Celentano to Barry Friedman(Privately) : This is all great stuff. I’m getting a lot of ideas and direction from this. No need to review the old site I posted here at the top of the chat. I have a much clearer idea of what needs to be changed on the new site re-design.
09:55:18 From ashleyturner : Great site David!
09:55:53 From David Garrity : Thanks Ashley.
09:57:11 From meg : THANK YOU!
09:57:40 From Alan Rich to Barry Friedman(Privately) : especially with gray type. I have a hard time reading it.
09:58:07 From Bri Crabtree : Thanks everyone I have to leave for a gig! Bye.
09:58:21 From meg : Amazing sites – all of them!
09:58:51 From David Garrity : Bye Bri
10:12:31 From Alan Rich : I think it is a great photo, and it could be for a real estate agent.
10:12:57 From meg : I love that!
10:13:57 From Robert Ace : You could put company logos up there as well. So they know straight away you’re a corporate entertainer.
10:14:38 From meg : Yes, because I like this photo – it looks very top drawer
10:16:12 From Jeff Celentano : Brilliant!
10:18:24 From meg : My father had a great expression you could use: “Beware the high cost of low price”
10:18:49 From Alan Rich : nice quote
10:21:28 From meg : Is there a way to market ads to private jet companies?
10:22:19 From David Garrity : Meg!! Great!!
10:22:20 From meg : That’s the client you want!!
10:22:36 From meg : Oh darn!
10:26:35 From meg : Also, I really like that you have the photo on the opening page, that really speaks to who you are, then on the last frame for contact, you have a very friendly warm shot. Approachable and “contactable”
10:29:00 From Alan Rich to Barry Friedman(Privately) : Am I on your list?
10:30:08 From David Garrity : Is Jason Bourne on the call?
10:35:18 From meg : You know, every time the shot of the logo for Great Clips, it looks as if Anthem is a hair dresser – I’m I being picky?
10:39:55 From Jeff Celentano : So, the trick is to make these sites as mobile responsive as possible while focusing much of the value (copywriting-wise), on the top half of the site. “Above the fold” for those viewing on a desktop.
10:48:25 From David Garrity : That video could be used for private events also with different voiceover or text.
10:50:44 From meg : Gotta hop off here all and go into rehearsal. Thank you So much for all the info! Have a great weekend.
10:50:52 From David Garrity : Bye Meg
10:50:54 From Alan Rich : have fun
10:51:05 From Rene Chevalier : bye
10:51:13 From Alan Rich : bye
10:51:23 From Robert Ace : bye
10:52:14 From Alan Rich : Barry, Are you going to have time for my website? www.BeMagicalShow.com
10:52:38 From Barry Friedman to Alan Rich(Privately) : coming now
10:52:59 From Alan Rich to Barry Friedman(Privately) : thanks
10:55:58 From micklunzer1 : gotta go! Thank you! This was enlightening!
10:56:08 From Rene Chevalier : bye
10:56:26 From Jeff Celentano : Will Gigmasters even let you link to your own site? Most of those sites don’t want you booking outside of their established ecosystem.
10:56:50 From ashleyturner : Thanks for your comments guys
10:56:52 From David Garrity : They all do if you pay for their membership.
10:57:05 From David Garrity : But, if you book off the site some won’t let you get a review
10:57:34 From David Garrity : And it won’t go towards your “ranking” on their sites
10:57:45 From Jeff Celentano : Hhm..Gig Salad mever lets me even mention my site. Everything has to be done through their platform.
10:57:56 From David Garrity : Are you a member?
10:58:10 From David Garrity : Paid?
10:58:38 From Jeff Celentano : Yeah but on the lowest tier..Not the best source of high quality leads unfortunately,
10:59:21 From David Garrity : Ah, I’m there for free so I thought that’s why they don’t allow outside links. That might be a change. The others don’t care but some won’t allow the gig to count.
11:02:11 From Jeff Celentano : Gotcha. Oh, David, really diggin’ your opening video.
11:02:55 From David Garrity : Oh, thank you! I think it’s too long and needs to show some of the smaller one-man stuff so it doesn’t scare away smaller event planners. Thoughts?
11:02:58 From Jeff Celentano : Great web copy too. Getting some great ideas. This is what I’ve been wanting to see.
11:03:51 From Jeff Celentano to Barry Friedman(Privately) : No need to hit mine. i’m getting way more out of checking out everyone else’s.
11:07:19 From David Garrity : Maybe it needs a funny caption?
11:08:28 From Robert Ace : “The only thing missing is your audience”
11:09:45 From Rene Chevalier : i also think it should be less about you,but more about audience. don´t tell but show!
11:09:59 From Rene Chevalier : show how they react! i loved your trailer!
11:10:11 From Rene Chevalier : should maybe right in the beginning
11:10:19 From David Garrity : Rene, who is this for?
