that i'm happy with yet that i'm happy with yet but there are several tools that help but there are several tools that help but there are several tools that help you do this really well several no code you do this really well several no code you do this really well several no code tools outgrow interact even write tools outgrow interact even write tools outgrow interact even write message can be used as a tool software message can be used as a tool software message can be used as a tool software if i was going to make a choice i would if i was going to make a choice i would if i was going to make a choice i would probably start with interact probably start with interact probably start with interact right now right now right now that's what uh people like tori tori that's what uh people like tori tori that's what uh people like tori tori dunlap use she built her her content dunlap use she built her her content dunlap use she built her her content business her first 100 sorry her first business her first 100 sorry her first business her first 100 sorry her first 100k just this past you know few years 100k just this past you know few years 100k just this past you know few years and i had her on creative elements it and i had her on creative elements it and i had her on creative elements it hasn't aired yet but she was telling me hasn't aired yet but she was telling me hasn't aired yet but she was telling me that her quiz that her quiz that her quiz literally drives like literally drives like literally drives like a huge percentage of her business a huge percentage of her business a huge percentage of her business because when she has some sort of media because when she has some sort of media because when she has some sort of media opportunity or she has some sort of opportunity or she has some sort of opportunity or she has some sort of piece of content go viral the clear call piece of content go viral the clear call piece of content go viral the clear call to action is hey go take this quiz and a to action is hey go take this quiz and a to action is hey go take this quiz and a large number of people do that because large number of people do that because large number of people do that because it tells them something about themselves it tells them something about themselves it tells them something about themselves if they want to if they want to if they want to self-diagnose self-diagnose self-diagnose hey here is the pathway that you should hey here is the pathway that you should hey here is the pathway that you should take forward here's what you should do take forward here's what you should do take forward here's what you should do next a quiz is a really great way to next a quiz is a really great way to next a quiz is a really great way to assist that we've seen it with buzzfeed assist that we've seen it with buzzfeed assist that we've seen it with buzzfeed for a really long time people love to for a really long time people love to for a really long time people love to take a quiz get results know something take a quiz get results know something take a quiz get results know something about themselves and not only that but about themselves and not only that but about themselves and not only that but then share those results as well and then share those results as well and then share those results as well and that can create a really great that can create a really great that can create a really great social social social viral component to your content so viral component to your content so viral component to your content so quizzes are something that i really quizzes are something that i really quizzes are something that i really really recommend looking into really recommend looking into really recommend looking into and these tools once again outgrow and these tools once again outgrow and these tools once again outgrow interact and write message help you do interact and write message help you do interact and write message help you do that really easily right out of the box

and then community community can even be and then community community can even be used as a top of funnel or opt-in sort used as a top of funnel or opt-in sort used as a top of funnel or opt-in sort of lead magnet exercise i have that with of lead magnet exercise i have that with of lead magnet exercise i have that with circle i use circle but you can use circle i use circle but you can use circle i use circle but you can use discord you can use mighty networks discord you can use mighty networks discord you can use mighty networks getting access to a community of people getting access to a community of people getting access to a community of people where i can build relationships where i where i can build relationships where i where i can build relationships where i can get support ask questions to offer can get support ask questions to offer can get support ask questions to offer that for free is also very high value that for free is also very high value that for free is also very high value i've been doing that with freelancing i've been doing that with freelancing i've been doing that with freelancing school for a few years now school for a few years now school for a few years now and it's been and it's been and it's been really really really effective really really really effective really really really effective because freelancers come in they have because freelancers come in they have because freelancers come in they have questions they want support they want to questions they want support they want to questions they want support they want to learn from other freelancers learn from other freelancers learn from other freelancers but but but they also don't have a ton of disposable they also don't have a ton of disposable they also don't have a ton of disposable income so making the community free income so making the community free income so making the community free builds a relationship gets them on my builds a relationship gets them on my builds a relationship gets them on my email list i can offer them even a promo email list i can offer them even a promo email list i can offer them even a promo code for being a community member to go code for being a community member to go code for being a community member to go into one of the paid courses but you into one of the paid courses but you into one of the paid courses but you know it's high value and they can get know it's high value and they can get know it's high value and they can get that for free so the question that i think you should so the question that i think you should be asking yourself be asking yourself be asking yourself if you're trying to build your audience if you're trying to build your audience if you're trying to build your audience or get more people to discover your or get more people to discover your or get more people to discover your product or give you the opportunity to product or give you the opportunity to product or give you the opportunity to talk about your product talk about your product talk about your product what experience or outcome can you make what experience or outcome can you make what experience or outcome can you make that is worth paying for that is worth paying for that is worth paying for but then you make it available for free but then you make it available for free but then you make it available for free if you can do that that's going to if you can do that that's going to if you can do that that's going to outperform outperform outperform any of the old lead magnet or opt-in any of the old lead magnet or opt-in any of the old lead magnet or opt-in pieces of advice pieces of advice pieces of advice being able to create something that's being able to create something that's being able to create something that's worth paying for but then offering it worth paying for but then offering it worth paying for but then offering it for free is a huge opportunity people for free is a huge opportunity people for free is a huge opportunity people love that people share that they opt in love that people share that they opt in love that people share that they opt in for that

so in conclusion here when discovery for so in conclusion here when discovery for your product is hard consider using your product is hard consider using your product is hard consider using yourself as the top of the funnel use yourself as the top of the funnel use yourself as the top of the funnel use your voice use your social media your voice use your social media your voice use your social media platforms use your ideas get them into platforms use your ideas get them into platforms use your ideas get them into your sphere and then try to move them your sphere and then try to move them your sphere and then try to move them through the funnel down to your product i would recommend selecting a social i would recommend selecting a social media platform that you really like and media platform that you really like and media platform that you really like and dedicate a disproportionate amount of dedicate a disproportionate amount of dedicate a disproportionate amount of your social energy to that one platform your social energy to that one platform your social energy to that one platform it's really hard to do a bunch at once it's really hard to do a bunch at once it's really hard to do a bunch at once so pick one get really good at it so pick one get really good at it so pick one get really good at it use that as your you know tippy top of use that as your you know tippy top of use that as your you know tippy top of funnel and then you can focus on funnel and then you can focus on funnel and then you can focus on converting those followers into converting those followers into converting those followers into subscribers or customers leverage stronger lead magnets for that leverage stronger lead magnets for that conversion stronger than the typical conversion stronger than the typical conversion stronger than the typical advice would tell you advice would tell you advice would tell you courses challenges quizzes communities courses challenges quizzes communities courses challenges quizzes communities that is what i would recommend that is what i would recommend that is what i would recommend and strive to create a product and strive to create a product and strive to create a product experience or outcome that you can experience or outcome that you can experience or outcome that you can provide for free even though you think provide for free even though you think provide for free even though you think it might be worth paying for that's it happy to do some q a here to that's it happy to do some q a here to answer some of your questions about this answer some of your questions about this answer some of your questions about this or dive deeper into any of these areas or dive deeper into any of these areas or dive deeper into any of these areas that you're interested in if you are on that you're interested in if you are on that you're interested in if you are on twitter and you want to get better or twitter and you want to get better or twitter and you want to get better or spend more time there you can join tweet spend more time there you can join tweet spend more time there you can join tweet 100 for free 100 for free 100 for free but otherwise connect with me there and but otherwise connect with me there and but otherwise connect with me there and i'm happy to chat about this further i'm happy to chat about this further i'm happy to chat about this further awesome thanks so much jay awesome thanks so much jay awesome thanks so much jay we do have a couple questions that uh we do have a couple questions that uh we do have a couple questions that uh have started coming in if you're have started coming in if you're have started coming in if you're watching this and you have more watching this and you have more watching this and you have more questions for jay please please weigh in questions for jay please please weigh in questions for jay please please weigh in so the first question so the first question so the first question actually the both of them are about
-
actually the both of them are about actually the both of them are about integromat and i'm actually curious integromat and i'm actually curious integromat and i'm actually curious about this too because i about this too because i about this too because i before last week i had never even before last week i had never even before last week i had never even heard of it you know and i've been using heard of it you know and i've been using heard of it you know and i've been using zapier since i don't know 2013 or zapier since i don't know 2013 or zapier since i don't know 2013 or something so um something so um something so um the first question what was the the first question what was the the first question what was the approximate price difference between approximate price difference between approximate price difference between integromat and zapier it was pretty huge integromat and zapier it was pretty huge integromat and zapier it was pretty huge um um um within a couple of weeks of launching within a couple of weeks of launching within a couple of weeks of launching the tweet 100 challenge and having it the tweet 100 challenge and having it the tweet 100 challenge and having it being completely zapier based being completely zapier based being completely zapier based my zapier bill was up to 300 per month my zapier bill was up to 300 per month my zapier bill was up to 300 per month uh trending towards 400 per month in uh trending towards 400 per month in uh trending towards 400 per month in previous to that it was like previous to that it was like previous to that it was like you know you know you know 40 or something like it was it was sub 40 or something like it was it was sub 40 or something like it was it was sub 50. so it was a drastic increase 50. so it was a drastic increase 50. so it was a drastic increase in tegramatt uh you pay for operations in tegramatt uh you pay for operations in tegramatt uh you pay for operations in bulk so i was basically moved to a 49 in bulk so i was basically moved to a 49 in bulk so i was basically moved to a 49 per month plan and taking care of the per month plan and taking care of the per month plan and taking care of the same volume same volume same volume um they have a 99 plan um they have a 99 plan um they have a 99 plan that's still more than i need right now that's still more than i need right now that's still more than i need right now what's great about integromat is what's great about integromat is what's great about integromat is if you if you if you are above the 49 plan but you don't need are above the 49 plan but you don't need are above the 49 plan but you don't need the 99 plan you can buy extra operations the 99 plan you can buy extra operations the 99 plan you can buy extra operations for eight dollars like all a cart so i'm for eight dollars like all a cart so i'm for eight dollars like all a cart so i'm paying about sixty dollars a month right paying about sixty dollars a month right paying about sixty dollars a month right now now now um um um on a tiger mat on a tiger mat on a tiger mat got it and i mean aside from price got it and i mean aside from price got it and i mean aside from price are there other reasons to use in ticker are there other reasons to use in ticker are there other reasons to use in ticker mad or is it kind of a lower cost zapier mad or is it kind of a lower cost zapier mad or is it kind of a lower cost zapier um it's a good question i haven't run um it's a good question i haven't run um it's a good question i haven't run into any issues of like into any issues of like into any issues of like not having a no code tool supported by not having a no code tool supported by not having a no code tool supported by integromat in total like if i'm a sas

integromat in total like if i'm a sas integromat in total like if i'm a sas company i'm probably going to support company i'm probably going to support company i'm probably going to support zapier first zapier first zapier first but but but the issues that i run into with the issues that i run into with the issues that i run into with integromat are sometimes they don't have integromat are sometimes they don't have integromat are sometimes they don't have a trigger a trigger a trigger so a lot of their their automations are so a lot of their their automations are so a lot of their their automations are based on based on based on i don't know if it's a polling but you i don't know if it's a polling but you i don't know if it's a polling but you basically say like run this automation basically say like run this automation basically say like run this automation every six minutes or however many every six minutes or however many every six minutes or however many minutes you want to set minutes you want to set minutes you want to set and there's some levers because then you and there's some levers because then you and there's some levers because then you have to set like a limit of how many have to set like a limit of how many have to set like a limit of how many records to comb through when i run this records to comb through when i run this records to comb through when i run this automation so we had a period of time in automation so we had a period of time in automation so we had a period of time in the beginning of the the migration from the beginning of the the migration from the beginning of the the migration from zapier to zapier to zapier to integromat where we had to pull these integromat where we had to pull these integromat where we had to pull these levers to see like what is the frequency levers to see like what is the frequency levers to see like what is the frequency we need to run this to make sure we're we need to run this to make sure we're we need to run this to make sure we're capturing everything but we're not capturing everything but we're not capturing everything but we're not you know paying for you know paying for you know paying for the same record to be operationalized the same record to be operationalized the same record to be operationalized multiple times over and over again got multiple times over and over again got multiple times over and over again got it now that's interesting yeah seems it now that's interesting yeah seems it now that's interesting yeah seems like a tool worth worth checking out at like a tool worth worth checking out at like a tool worth worth checking out at a minimum um there's a comment thank you a minimum um there's a comment thank you a minimum um there's a comment thank you for the presentation jay great for the presentation jay great for the presentation jay great background by the way your studio looks background by the way your studio looks background by the way your studio looks awesome it's like you're a professor awesome it's like you're a professor awesome it's like you're a professor like you're a professional yeah like you're a professional yeah like you're a professional yeah um there we have a question about the um there we have a question about the um there we have a question about the circle conversion circle conversion circle conversion would you say the circle conversion from would you say the circle conversion from would you say the circle conversion from free to paid is worth your time for the free to paid is worth your time for the free to paid is worth your time for the free offering free offering free offering does that make sense well does that make sense well does that make sense well so so so yeah the thing i love about circle is yeah the thing i love about circle is yeah the thing i love about circle is it's really modular so you can really it's really modular so you can really it's really modular so you can really set permissions to have free areas of set permissions to have free areas of set permissions to have free areas of circle and then have circle and then have circle and then have locked gated paid areas of circle locked gated paid areas of circle locked gated paid areas of circle i haven't done that configuration as i haven't done that configuration as i haven't done that configuration as purely a community product you know to

purely a community product you know to purely a community product you know to say like hey come experience the product say like hey come experience the product say like hey come experience the product for free the community for free for free the community for free for free the community for free but if you want to get access to the but if you want to get access to the but if you want to get access to the paid areas of circle here's the pa how paid areas of circle here's the pa how paid areas of circle here's the pa how to pay for that i've only done to pay for that i've only done to pay for that i've only done completely free circle instances or paid completely free circle instances or paid completely free circle instances or paid circle instances circle instances circle instances i i would say however that it's probably i i would say however that it's probably i i would say however that it's probably worth your time to go from free to paid worth your time to go from free to paid worth your time to go from free to paid if you're willing to do the work that is if you're willing to do the work that is if you're willing to do the work that is necessary to do community well which is necessary to do community well which is necessary to do community well which is like a huge amount of work it's it's like a huge amount of work it's it's like a huge amount of work it's it's very difficult to do community well and very difficult to do community well and very difficult to do community well and to build a community that's worth paying to build a community that's worth paying to build a community that's worth paying for over the long term and is i mean for over the long term and is i mean for over the long term and is i mean i've heard of circle and i heard you i've heard of circle and i heard you i've heard of circle and i heard you know i know know i know know i know the basics but the basics but the basics but um um um maybe i don't even know the basics i maybe i don't even know the basics i maybe i don't even know the basics i know it's a community platform is it know it's a community platform is it know it's a community platform is it like is it forums is it live chat like i like is it forums is it live chat like i like is it forums is it live chat like i think of slack and discord is one thing think of slack and discord is one thing think of slack and discord is one thing and then you know the old and then you know the old and then you know the old well not the old but like discourse i well not the old but like discourse i well not the old but like discourse i believe is the is the forums i mean believe is the is the forums i mean believe is the is the forums i mean where is it on that container yeah in my where is it on that container yeah in my where is it on that container yeah in my mind the continuum is chat based versus mind the continuum is chat based versus mind the continuum is chat based versus forum based and circle is definitely in forum based and circle is definitely in forum based and circle is definitely in the forum based camp the forum based camp the forum based camp it feels like a more modern discourse it feels like a more modern discourse it feels like a more modern discourse it has almost in the original version of it has almost in the original version of it has almost in the original version of it it felt kind of like a facebook group it it felt kind of like a facebook group it it felt kind of like a facebook group feed feel but you can have multiple feed feel but you can have multiple feed feel but you can have multiple spaces within it i'm really really spaces within it i'm really really spaces within it i'm really really bullish on that product in that team bullish on that product in that team bullish on that product in that team they need to continue to make strides to they need to continue to make strides to they need to continue to make strides to have more synchronous style have more synchronous style have more synchronous style communication feel natural and native to communication feel natural and native to communication feel natural and native to the platform but they have the use case the platform but they have the use case the platform but they have the use case of content creators of people like you of content creators of people like you of content creators of people like you and i rob in mind and it's the first and i rob in mind and it's the first and i rob in mind and it's the first platform that i felt like really platform that i felt like really platform that i felt like really confident is going to solve this issue

confident is going to solve this issue confident is going to solve this issue of online community spaces that support of online community spaces that support of online community spaces that support both chat based communication and forum both chat based communication and forum both chat based communication and forum based communication based communication based communication got it very good another question came got it very good another question came got it very good another question came in does twitter work for b2b marketing i in does twitter work for b2b marketing i in does twitter work for b2b marketing i think twitter works for anything um i think twitter works for anything um i think twitter works for anything um i mean you know your people better than i mean you know your people better than i mean you know your people better than i would of course dear asker but if the would of course dear asker but if the would of course dear asker but if the people who are operating in the b2b people who are operating in the b2b people who are operating in the b2b marketing space are on twitter then marketing space are on twitter then marketing space are on twitter then absolutely because twitter i think is absolutely because twitter i think is absolutely because twitter i think is unparalleled in terms of forming unparalleled in terms of forming unparalleled in terms of forming relationships if those people are on relationships if those people are on relationships if those people are on twitter twitter twitter access is just so easy access is just so easy access is just so easy there is more organic growth and like there is more organic growth and like there is more organic growth and like discovery and impressions of your discovery and impressions of your discovery and impressions of your profile than any other platform right profile than any other platform right profile than any other platform right now i will say like linkedin probably now i will say like linkedin probably now i will say like linkedin probably has more opportunity than people give it has more opportunity than people give it has more opportunity than people give it credit for especially in the b2b space credit for especially in the b2b space credit for especially in the b2b space um um um so i i wouldn't rule that out for your so i i wouldn't rule that out for your so i i wouldn't rule that out for your use case but if your people in that use case but if your people in that use case but if your people in that industry are on twitter then absolutely industry are on twitter then absolutely industry are on twitter then absolutely it wouldn't be worth your time it wouldn't be worth your time it wouldn't be worth your time yeah and it seems to me like obviously yeah and it seems to me like obviously yeah and it seems to me like obviously tech tech tech both like silicon valley tech and then both like silicon valley tech and then both like silicon valley tech and then outside of silicon valley tech like the outside of silicon valley tech like the outside of silicon valley tech like the bootstrapper spaces on twitter the press bootstrapper spaces on twitter the press bootstrapper spaces on twitter the press especially tech press but even not tech especially tech press but even not tech especially tech press but even not tech press is on there and it seems like press is on there and it seems like press is on there and it seems like there's a lot of makers and creators you there's a lot of makers and creators you there's a lot of makers and creators you know the indie indie makers like know the indie indie makers like know the indie indie makers like yourself yourself yourself do you do you do you that's my impression of like okay those that's my impression of like okay those that's my impression of like okay those people are on there my parents my people are on there my parents my people are on there my parents my brothers my family's not on there even brothers my family's not on there even brothers my family's not on there even like you know my wife sherry who's tech like you know my wife sherry who's tech like you know my wife sherry who's tech adjacent right she's a coach and adjacent right she's a coach and adjacent right she's a coach and consultant she's like kind of only on consultant she's like kind of only on consultant she's like kind of only on there because she thinks she needs to be there because she thinks she needs to be there because she thinks she needs to be but it's not sure she doesn't like
