<h4><span style="font-weight: 400">VIDEO TRANSCRIPTION:</span></h4>
<p><em>&#8220;Welcome, Freedom Hero!</em></p>
<p><em>The internet is flooded with many different marketing software. Most of them are claiming they can solve your problems, grow your business&#8230;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8230;and help you to save time and make more money.</em></p>
<p><em>It’s not a surprise that sometimes it can be confusing to find the best tool SPECIFICALLY for your business that will REALLY help you instead of wasting your time and money.</em></p>
<p><em>And that’s why I’m going to share with you the framework I’ve been using in the past decade to pick the best marketing tools specifically for my business.</em></p>
<p><em>I hope it will help you as much as it&#8217;s been helping us.</em></p>
<p><em>My name is Istvan Bujdoso and this is The 47 Marketing Show.</em></p>
<p><em>Let’s get started with the first and most important tip. Tip #1: Get Super Clear.</em></p>
<p><em>Either you’re looking for software to solve one of your problems or to achieve a specific goal.</em></p>
<p><em>It is absolutely fundamental to become super clear about your problem and goals before you start looking for any tool as the solution.</em></p>
<p><em>Otherwise, there’s a good chance you’ll end up wasting time and money on marketing software that are not good for you.</em></p>
<p><em>Tip #2: First Impression.</em></p>
<p><em>Head over to the website of the tool. Scroll through the site, see the general look and feel. Get your first impression WITHOUT making any final decisions.</em></p>
<p><em>Tip #3: The Big Promise.</em></p>
<p><em>Check if the software PROMISES to solve your specific problem, or to help you to achieve your goals.</em></p>
<p><em>Obviously, even if the promise is there, it’s not a guarantee it will really work, but it is a good sign and shows the potential of the marketing tool.</em></p>
<p><em>Tip#4: Other Claims.</em></p>
<p><em>After you see it can potentially help you, have a look around to see what OTHER benefits does the tool claim to give you?</em></p>
<p><em>Because you may see something that can be the solution to other problems you have. Or it can replace one or more of your current tools.</em></p>
<p><em>Or it can save you more time and money you expected at first glance. The extra benefits or the lack of them can help you to make the decision later.</em></p>
<p><em>Tip #5: Can It Work For You?</em></p>
<p><em>At this stage, we’re still looking out for the potentials of the marketing tool.</em></p>
<p><em>Unless it’s a RARE case, and a super-niched software that CLEARLY states it only works for a specific industry, it’s not yet time to make the final decision.</em></p>
<p><em>Research the site for signs that show it can potentially work for you. Things like Your industry, or similar ones. Keywords that refer to similar business like yours.</em></p>
<p><em>And check the reviews if you can see similar people like you who achieved success with the tool. And then carry on to check the following things to get the full picture.</em></p>
<p><em>Tip #6: Social Proof.</em></p>
<p><em>Besides that, the reviews can show you if it may work for you, they can also give you a picture of the overall experience with the marketing tool and company.</em></p>
<p><em>If you see a lot of bad reviews, 10s, 100s of bad reviews, then run. Most of the time you’ll see good and bad reviews as well.</em></p>
<p><em>When you read a bad review, pay attention if it feels like coming from a hater who wants to tear down the company&#8230;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8230;or if it feels like an authentic feedback listing the good and bad things as well. And take the good reviews with a pinch of salt.</em></p>
<p><em>They show you the potential, obviously, they are not guarantees, but good signs. Check how many people are using the tool. If a lot of people, that’s one good point, still not a deal maker.</em></p>
<p><em>Tip #7: The Age.</em></p>
<p><em>Check out how old the tool is? If it’s relatively new, the social proofs may come from the early hype of the tool, and may not reflect the reality.</em></p>
<p><em>On the other hand, if the marketing software has been around for a while, and shows long-term, steady success, that’s a better sign.</em></p>
<p><em>Tip #8: The Tricky Price.</em></p>
<p><em>The price is a tricky element. Taking a quick look at the number and making a decision based on that is overlooking a lot of important things.</em></p>
<p><em>The 3 BIG questions are First, what is included in the price?</em></p>
<p><em>In my experience, it is common that you can’t see all the values you get until you actually try the software, research the areas that only members can access&#8230;</em></p>
<p><em>and research the community of the tool. And only after that you get the full picture on what is included in the price.</em></p>
<p><em>Second, are there any hidden charges? The obvious one, check if the price is one-off or recurring.</em></p>
<p><em>And the other one really pisses me off when the company uses an unclear pricing structure that is hard to understand you can’t see the total fees upfront&#8230;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8230;and you end up being charged more than you expected. I experienced this with quite a few big names in the hosting industry.</em></p>
<p><em>They advertise low prices for hosting, and when an inexperienced user goes for it they face the unpleasant surprise of needing to add email services, security&#8230;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8230;and other things separately and then from the second year everything is on higher prices and they end up being charged more than they expected.</em></p>
<p><em>So make sure the marketing tool you’re researching has a clear, simple, and transparent pricing. </em><br />
<em>And the third big question is, Are updates and future features included?</em></p>
<p><em>It’s definitely a plus point when the company is constantly improving the tool and the related materials. And you’re getting more and more value for the same money over time.</em></p>
<p><em>Tip #9: Trial.</em></p>
<p><em>As I mentioned earlier, you can’t really get a full picture of a marketing software until you try it. So, check out if there’s a trial. And see how it works exactly. 7, 14, or 30-day trial?</em></p>
<p><em>Is it a free trial or low price one? Do they give you full access or only limited access? Do they ask for your credit card upfront and you need to cancel it if you don’t want to be charged?</em></p>
<p><em>Or can you try it without a credit card? Before you put in your credit card details make sure the site is using HTTPS so the connection is secure.</em></p>
<p><em>If you can pay via PayPal, use it as an extra level of security.</em></p>
<p><em>Tip #10: Money Back Guarantee.</em></p>
<p><em>Either there’s a trial or not, check if there’s a money back guarantee and what the terms are. You can even double check their refund policy in their terms and conditions.</em></p>
<p><em>If there’s no trial, but there’s a money-back guarantee, this is the way of trying the marketing software out at low risk.</em></p>
<p><em>If the company and tool have been around for a while, mainly you can see positive reviews on social media&#8230;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8230;in Google, and in their community, no complaints about refunds then give a try to the tool and if you don’t like it, cancel it and you’ll get your money back.</em></p>
<p><em>This is my way of thinking, obviously calculate your own risks before you pay. These are the things I check BEFORE trying out a new marketing tool.</em></p>
<p><em>And 10 other things DURING the trial. When you’re trying out a software, be ready to invest a good amount of time into the research and the trial to get the full picture&#8230;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8230;before making the decision. There’s no point only spending 15-20 minutes clicking around in a software, throwing it away. And trying another tool and then another one, and another one.</em></p>
<p><em>Not only you will waste your time but also you can miss out on the right tools that way.</em></p>
<p><em>I’m conscious about the time so these were the first 10 of the 20 tips to find the best marketing automation tools. In the next episode, we’ll continue and complete the rest of the tips.</em></p>
<p><em>10 important things to check DURING the trials. Thank you for being here today. Stay for another minute or two because I have one more tip for you</em></p>
<p><em>It was another long Friday evening in the office in 2016.</em></p>
<p><em>As I tiredly closed the lid of my laptop a long sigh slipped through my mouth.</em></p>
<p><em>I hoped it would relax my tensed muscles a bit and ease the stress and frustration. But it didn&#8217;t.</em></p>
<p><em>The events of the week kept spinning in my head&#8230; Cold calling: failed. LinkedIn: got only bad leads. Networking: zero leads. Website: a few bad leads.</em></p>
<p><em>Another week feeling stuck without quality leads passed.</em></p>
<p><em>Let me ask you&#8230; Do you feel like the only obstacle standing in the way of your success is not getting enough of the right leads?</em></p>
<p><em>That&#8217;s how I used to feel too.</em></p>
<p><em>I knew there must be a better method to get quality leads and I got obsessed to find it.</em></p>
<p><em>In the past years, I found and proved a way to generate hundreds of leads a month, to create a stable flow of the RIGHT leads.</em></p>
<p><em>How?</em></p>
<p><em>With a smart and unique high-converting lead generation framework.</em></p>
<p><em>It is the same framework that 20X-ed my lead generation in 3 months&#8230;</em></p>
<p><em>And it seems to be creating a stream of new, targeted and qualified leads on autopilot for almost all entrepreneurs who&#8217;re using it.</em></p>
<p><em>Let me ask you… Is your goal to stably find more of the RIGHT qualified leads, in the RIGHT way, and at the RIGHT time?</em></p>
<p><em>If so&#8230;</em></p>
<p><em>Get access to the unique framework me and hundreds of entrepreneurs use.</em></p>

<h4><span style="font-weight: 400">VIDEO TRANSCRIPTION:</span></h4>
<p>Welcome, Freedom Hero!<br />
Do you feel like there is never enough time in a day to complete everything? A lot of entrepreneurs who are alone in their business feel that way.<br />
They have a lot of work to be done, and usually run out of time before they can get to the end of their to-do list.<br />
If you’re looking for a quick and easy solution to that problem stay till the end of this episode and find out how you can win more time for yourself and get all the work done as well.<br />
My name is Istvan Bujdoso and this is The 47 Marketing Show.<br />
I’m going to jump right into the solution, which is building an A-team in your business. Yes, I know it’s a kind of a cliché that you might have already heard many times.<br />
BUT if you’re still an entrepreneur who is flying solo, this is the perfect time to start putting your own pro team together.<br />
If you’ve never hired anybody I know it may feel uncomfortable at first, so let me share with you a quick and easy way to assemble your team.<br />
These are tips and tricks I learnt over the past decade of building and managing various smaller and bigger teams.<br />
The primary goal of starting to build a team is to get new people into your business who do some of your current work instead of you&#8230;<br />
&#8230;so you can focus more on the business activities that produce more money than you pay to your team. This way you can get more time, the work gets done, and your business can grow. It makes sense, right?<br />
The first question is who to hire first? If you don’t have an accountant, hire one, that’s just essential for every business. Apart from that, your first hire should be a Virtual Assistant. Why?<br />
Because it’s easy to start working with one, doesn’t cost much to start with, and can take a lot of small, energy-draining, time-consuming tasks off your shoulder. So it can be a quick and easy win for you.<br />
It’s also better to start with a part-time freelancer. There’s no point hiring and paying somebody full-time when they don’t have that amount of work to do yet.<br />
You can even start with one virtual assistant for one hour a week, and step-by-step increase the amount of work they do for you. And over time, you can hire more people as well.<br />
Also, working with freelancers has another huge benefit, you can scale up and down your team and the work hours as your business requires it.<br />
Now, let’s go through 6 tips on how to hire freelancers successfully and avoid common mistakes and headaches.<br />
Tip #1: Be Really Clear About Your Expectations.<br />
What results you expect from them, how and when what you expect them to do, how, and when why you want to hire them and so on.<br />
The more clearly you know your expectations about the job and the freelancer, the more likely you can avoid unexpected situations and disappointments.<br />
Tip #2: Communicate Your Expectations Clearly To Them.<br />
Knowing your expectations is one thing, communicating that to them clearly is another. Explain things as simple as possible, it helps to avoid misunderstandings.<br />
Use simple videos and screenshots to illustrate the visual elements of the job to make sure things are clear. Have every important thing in written format or in videos.<br />
It helps to make sure nothing is forgotten.<br />
Tip #3: Only Hire Through Reliable Sources.<br />
For example, on Upwork, which is one of the well-known and reliable freelance portals. It’s kind of like a middle man that provides you safety, information&#8230;<br />
&#8230;and easy access to great freelancers you can work with.<br />
Tip #4: Pre-Qualify Freelancers Before You Even Talk To Them.<br />
Freelance portals usually show you the essential info of the freelancers so you can check out things like the tracked hours they worked via that portal.<br />
It is positive when the freelancer already has a lot of work hours because that shows they are serious about freelancing. Check the reviews of what their previous clients say about them. Were they happy?<br />
Make sure their profile shows similar work to what you’re planning to give them. It increases the chance that they’ll work faster and better.<br />
Look at the quality of their profile. If it’s messy, there’s a good chance their work would be messy too. Look through their portfolio. Is that the level of quality you expect from them?<br />
See if your budget and their fees are matching. And also, do a research on what other similar freelancers are charging.<br />
It is important because freelancers who charge BELOW average, their work tends to be BELOW average as well.<br />
Tip #5: Talk To The Best Candidates. The purpose of this call is to find out about important things like: How well do they communicate? How the two of you are resonating with each other?<br />
How well do they understand the job and expectations? Ask them to tell you back with their own words what they understood. How good questions do they ask?<br />
If they don’t ask any questions that’s NOT a good sign. Either they are not interested, or they assume things, or they are afraid to ask.<br />
All those cases tend to negatively hit back, and you won’t get the results you want. So on this call you won’t be able to figure out how well they actually work. That’s why the next tip is&#8230;<br />
Okay, tip #6, Hire Your Choice Of Freelancer For A SMALL Job FIRST.<br />
This way, you can truly test them. Give them a small relevant job, see how they work, how quickly, how they communicate, and the results you get from them.<br />
If they are not a good fit, test another freelancer. If you can’t decide yet, keep in mind there&#8217;s a learning curve for them. Test them again with another small job.<br />
And if you’re happy with their work, congratulations! You are building your team.<br />
Once you have your first virtual assistant and have given him or her the first task look around in your business for all the simple, repetitive tasks create written and/or video guides&#8230;<br />
&#8230;and hand them over to your VA so they can check it as many times they need it without taking up your time. Expect some learning curve for every task.<br />
Check on the work they do and adjust on the guides to clear things up if needed. When you’re happy with how they work on a task, step-by-step, give them more work.<br />
This way you can easily free up more and more time for yourself that you can focus on profit-generating activities to grow your business.<br />
Okay, thank you for being here today. Stay for another minute or two because I have another tip for you.<br />
It was another long Friday evening in the office in 2016.</p>
<p>As I tiredly closed the lid of my laptop a long sigh slipped through my mouth.</p>
<p>I hoped it would relax my tensed muscles a bit and ease the stress and frustration. But it didn&#8217;t.</p>
<p>The events of the week kept spinning in my head&#8230; Cold calling: failed. LinkedIn: got only bad leads. Networking: zero leads. Website: a few bad leads.</p>
<p>Another week feeling stuck without quality leads passed.</p>
<p>Let me ask you&#8230; Do you feel like the only obstacle standing in the way of your success is not getting enough of the right leads?</p>
<p>That&#8217;s how I used to feel too.</p>
<p>I knew there must be a better method to get quality leads and I got obsessed to find it.</p>
<p>In the past years, I found and proved a way to generate hundreds of leads a month, to create a stable flow of the RIGHT leads.</p>
<p>How?</p>
<p>With a smart and unique high-converting lead generation framework.</p>
<p>It is the same framework that 20X-ed my lead generation in 3 months&#8230;</p>
<p>And it seems to be creating a stream of new, targeted and qualified leads on autopilot for almost all entrepreneurs who&#8217;re using it.</p>
<p>Let me ask you… Is your goal to stably find more of the RIGHT qualified leads, in the RIGHT way, and at the RIGHT time?</p>
<p>If so&#8230;</p>
<p>Get access to the unique framework me and hundreds of entrepreneurs use.</p>

<p><em>&#8220;Welcome, Freedom Hero! </em><br />
<em>One of the most challenging things for entrepreneurs is to find balance between business and personal life&#8230; </em><br />
<em>In this episode, you’ll find out about a 10-Step Marketing Automation Secret Weapon that will help you to grow your business AND have your personal life at the same time&#8230; </em><br />
<em>My name is Istvan Bujdoso and this is The 47 Marketing Show&#8230; </em><br />
<em>Let me share with you a story that recently happened to me. I had a really fun day recording a new training on lead generation&#8230; </em><br />
<em>I set up the camera in front of me at the desk, the lighting, the presentation on the laptop. After recording, I took a couple of selfies with all the gears&#8230; </em><br />
<em>…and I planned to share it on social media with my community. But I didn’t do it right away because I still needed to upload the training, make it live and do a few other important things&#8230; </em><br />
<em>By the time I finished with all those things, it was time for me to leave the office and meet my family and have fun with them at a local milkshake place&#8230; </em><br />
<em>Even though posting to social media consistently is a really important part of lead generation, when it comes to sharing random, behind the scenes of business-type of content consistently&#8230; </em><br />
<em>…I’m struggling because it’s not that exciting to do. I leave it to the last minute and usually don’t have time left to do it. And then, it bugs me because I know it’s important&#8230; </em><br />
<em>There are a lot of other entrepreneurs who are in a similar situation&#8230; </em><br />
<em>In a couple of minutes, I’ll tell you about the 10-Step Marketing Automation framework I’m using to solve these types of issues&#8230; </em><br />
<em>So, the reason why it’s so important to share random, behind the scenes of your business type of content on your social media because from that content, your audience is getting some value&#8230; </em><br />
<em>…at the same time, they are getting to know you, like you and trust you more. I guess you know what that means, right? It has a HUGE positive impact on your lead generation&#8230; </em><br />
<em>It’s a lot easier to turn that warm audience into leads and clients later than if it’d be with a cold audience. It makes sense, right? </em><br />
<em>The only thing, consistently posting to social media can eat up a lot of time. For example, when I want to share a business-related photo with my community. Of course, I want to reach the most people&#8230; </em><br />
<em>Then, I’m going to share it on multiple platforms, in multiple ways. On my Facebook page, on my Facebook profile, in my Facebook group&#8230; </em><br />
<em>…as a Facebook story, on my Instagram profile, as an Instagram story, on LinkedIn, on Twitter. Even just listing them takes a lot of time&#8230; </em><br />
<em>And to add to all of that, you can imagine uploading the photo to all of those platforms 1-by-1, adding the description, adding relevant hashtags, tagging other people, tagging location&#8230; </em><br />
<em>All that can eat up a lot of time especially when you do it regularly&#8230; </em><br />
<em>Let’s say you have eight to nine social media places to share business-related photos with your community, like me. Just to do all that ONCE takes about 5 minutes&#8230; </em><br />
<em>And if you want to do it consistently, once a DAY, then it takes about 30 hours in a year. That’s almost 4 FULL working days every year just sharing business-related photos on social media with your audience&#8230; </em><br />
<em>So they warm up, they can know you, like you and trust you more. Doing that activity for 4 FULL working days every year is crazy, right? </em><br />
<em>Even though it’s important for lead generation, it’s not that exciting to do. It takes a lot of time to do it consistently. And because of that, a lot of entrepreneurs tend to skip it&#8230; </em><br />
<em>Unfortunately, I’m guilty of this too currently which I’m going to show how I’m going to solve it and how you can do that too&#8230; </em><br />
<em>The number 1 reason why I want to solve this issue is because while I was with my family at the milkshake place to have fun&#8230; </em><br />
<em>…I was distracted by that I should post the photos of the recording of the lead generation training. And I even took out my phone to do it but then I realized&#8230; </em><br />
<em>…I was there with my family and I wanted to enjoy the time with them and focus on them and have fun and quality time with them&#8230; </em><br />
<em>At the same time, while I want that, I also want to grow the business consistently&#8230; </em><br />
<em>A few days later, on a business day, I sat down to go through the 10-Step Marketing Automation framework&#8230; </em><br />
<em>If you&#8217;re in any similar situation like I was that you want to grow your business and have your personal life as well, then you can do these steps too, automate a lot of different things&#8230; </em><br />
<em>Step #1, ask yourself, “What do you want to achieve exactly? And why?” Just to give you an example, currently, I want to be able to share daily business-related photos with my community&#8230; </em><br />
<em>…WITHOUT that activity eating up a lot of my time so I can enjoy more quality time with my family while the business is growing&#8230; </em><br />
<em>Step #2, ask yourself, “Is it really valuable? Or can you eliminate it?” Sometimes, you will realise, that the activity you want to do is not that valuable and eliminating it will serve you better&#8230; </em><br />
<em>In case you think it’s valuable, then here’s the next step&#8230; </em><br />
<em>Step #3, ask yourself, “What tools can help you to automate as much as possible?” The right tools can save you an incredible amount of time and money while helping you to stay consistent and do more&#8230; </em><br />
<em>For example, for automated social media posting, tools like Buffer, Tailwind are really great. For managing your team, Trello, Google Drive. For connecting tools together, Zapier is brilliant&#8230; </em><br />
<em>And there are many other really amazing automation tools out there that can save you a lot of time and money&#8230; </em><br />
<em>Okay, Step #4, ask yourself, “Who can use those tools for you and do the things that are not possible to automate?” </em><br />
<em>Automation tools are great, but when it comes to consistent activities, some of those will require some management. And sometimes, there are some manual activities as well&#8230; </em><br />
<em>And if you’re like me, you don’t want to do any of the ongoing, time-consuming activities yourself. So that’s why, having a team is really powerful&#8230; </em><br />
<em>For example, you can teach a freelance VA to use the tools and do the ongoing posting to social media. Are you following this so far? </em><br />
<em>Step #5, ask yourself, “What is the process that will make it all work?” The goal is to make it work for you as quickly as possible with as little ongoing work for you as possible&#8230; </em><br />
<em>… and to make it easily scalable while bringing you the most results. The process is the most important element of all&#8230; </em><br />
<em>What will you do? How? When? In what order? How will your team use the tools? What exactly will they do? When? Why? In what order? And so on. Does this make sense? </em><br />
<em>To use the story I told you about, the only few things I’m going to do are to take photos while I’m doing the business and write a description and put those into an email&#8230; </em><br />
<em>… and my work is done in 30 &#8211; 40 SECONDS. That email will go to a Zapier email address, the Zapier tool will create a card in Trello for my VA with the photo and description&#8230; </em><br />
<em>… and my VA will spend 5 MINUTES to use Buffer, Tailwind, and the social media platforms and share the posts with my community in eight to nine different places&#8230; </em><br />
<em>So, basically, the tools and my VA will do almost all the work. Can you see why this is powerful? You can put your personal touch into your social media with barely any of your own time and effort&#8230; </em><br />
<em>It’s easily scalable and gives you all the benefits of posting to social media consistently. It helps you to build a warm audience, who knows you, like you and trust you more which is awesome, isn’t it? Okay&#8230; </em><br />
<em>Step #6: Setting up tools. Depending on what tools you use, this can be different in each case&#8230; </em><br />
<em>Step #7: Creating the written and recorded guides. It’s one thing to plan the processes, the other thing is to write it down and record videos that are simple and easy to understand&#8230; </em><br />
<em>Step #8: Teaching the team. If you don’t have a team yet, you need to build a team first And if you did a great job with your written and recorded guides&#8230; </em><br />
<em>…then teaching your team will be easy, pretty much sending them the documents and videos AND making sure they do understand what they need to do&#8230; </em><br />
<em>Step #9: Testing and tweaking. Any new things you and your team do will require some learning curve, might be some mistakes here and there&#8230; </em><br />
<em>Tweak your processes and guides to avoid those mistakes in the future&#8230; </em><br />
<em>Step #10: Optimising. In an ideal world, everything would work perfectly, efficiently for the first time&#8230; </em><br />
<em>The truth is that, after the learning curve, EVERY process can be optimised to get you more results, or quicker, or for less investment&#8230; </em><br />
<em>Okay, this is the 10-Step Marketing Automation Framework that will help you as well to grow your business AND have your personal life at the same time&#8230; </em><br />
<em>Usually, it has an upfront time investment to set it up but with ongoing things, it comes back in the long term&#8230; </em><br />
<em>For example, social media posting, lead generation, and similar activities are things that you’ll do as long as you have your business&#8230; </em><br />
<em>…so it’s worth investing into setting up automations around them so you can minimise the ongoing efforts and maximise the results. Which is exciting, isn’t it? </em><br />
<em>The more you do this marketing automation game, the easier it becomes. You’ll see more and more patterns in your business and lead generation, more things that you can automate&#8230; </em><br />
<em>It’s like developing a Marketing Automation muscle&#8230; </em><br />
<em>Okay, I hope you enjoyed this episode&#8230; </em><br />
