We´re Live. Chuck starts the conversation about some emails that he had with some producers and involves John in the process, there was some type of complaint of how John is writing his emails, looks like he´s not giving much information away, chuck wanted feedback from the guys on this.
Chuck asks some advice to Josh about a problem that he´s been having with deliverability to his subscribers there was a serious issue that he should have at least send an email to tech support (Wich he didn’t) because almost half of his subscribers were not receiving anything, had to reorganize everything and in the process lost quite a pack of subscribers.
This is a really important topic for the guys, most of the business they conduct rely a lot on this email lists, all of the content and interaction goes through here , if this not taken care of, could be a game changer for the bad on any of the entrepreneurship they are doing, these are big numbers, so there´s lots of software that helps the guys with this.

“IT doesn’t matter if your business is small or big, deliverability to your audience must impeccable”
We´re Live. Mani wants some feedback on a video that changes his traffic with little details changed on it like changing the title and thumbnail, there was a huge difference in traffic and the guys are analyzing it. They´re not sure what actually happened, the various hypothesis is on but is a mystery still. They Go through all the changes you can make to a youtube video just to make sure what makes the dramatic uprise.
The main concern is the tags, which actually it only leads the search engine to find the video, the guys agree that tags have no effect whatsoever, but Mani insists that the tags must do something, if not, why keep them? Youtube algorithm has changed a lot across the years, so it is essential to get up to date with this changes, your strategy can just plummet in a day if you don’t know what´s happening.
John claims that Youtube is a neural network, they have enough data to take the decisions of which videos will be recommended in your feed and what not, the algorithm do changes every now then but the concept remains the same.

“Youtube is a temporary business, it's not eternal so you have to learn how to move in the network”
We´re Live. Mani Talks to the guys about an email campaign about some new courses that he´s developing and looking for feedback on this especially from Josh who´s done this lots of times for Simple Programmer.
The main topic in this conversation is that when your doing a campaign there are two ways to do it, build the products for a brand you´re already working on and be correlated to the brand or the product itself alone, this depends on how are you running things and what are the end results you are looking for.
Mani talks about his entrepreneurship on book summaries and explain to the guys how this has become a great way to get a profit, but not only that, the knowledge and content that people are aware with this is tremendous and that´s what´s makes the difference between selling the book itself and the summary.
Josh gives an example of a brand transition, this happened with Simple Programmer. John Message didn’t get through completely people got really confused with it at some point. Charles recommends that they should circle back to their basic idea and build it from there because there´s already an audience, they will lose some people but actually gain newcomers.
Thoughts of the week
Mani: “If don’t focus your push on the brand, that´s a recipe for disaster”
We´re live. Mani talks with John about how he´s preparing to come back to his cycle of work, always a difficult thing to do especially when you have a long vacation. Mani is thinking about some launch that he wants to do, and his rambling on ideas. John Advice him to focus on the main plan, getting back to the cycle is crucial and focus is what he needs.
The next item in hand for mani was to set the price point, critical issue because it is based on a lot of factors and can be the decisive point between getting amazing success and just blowing it all away. The most important factor in this is the value of the product.
This can get really deep and dense especially when the product is expensive, setting the price point is based on the trust that the client has in it, there can be a lot of people that can pay high prices but not all of them are willing to do it because of that fact, there is no trust that the product will work for the client.
Thoughts of the Week
MANI – “ The Price Point is a crucial decision, if you don’t know what to put, you´re stuck, You´re f*cked”
We´re Live. Mani is back from his vacation, he reiterates how cheap it is to travel to Thailand and Bali. Although he had an amazing time and lots of fun, he was looking to work every day at least 4 hours but it becomes really difficult because he couldn’t find a proper place to work. He explains how difficult is to work and especially focus when the only space you have to work is a crappy desk, tried going to coffee shops but didn’t work either. Changing Hotels did the trick found some accommodations that a proper desk in the room and he could do at least 6 hours of work a day and still have lots of fun.
Mani explains how important it is to really take a look at the expense and cost of time when you do something. Talks about a theory that says, if people would pay for the use of social media, how much will they pay? HE clearly says that people are already paying for social because the goal of social media is to catch your attention, they don’t sell content, they are consuming your time and attention which is the most expensive pay you could ever do.

MANI- “Everything has a cost, especially when the toll is time”
We´re Live. Chuck tells how ti went with the podcast booth. I manage to get a lot a business and a lot of sponsors, lots of contacts were made, which was the main goal for the booth, so incredibly great for Charles. The best thing about booth is that is movable, Charles is looking to get to the booth on many conferences as possible.
Josh Gives some ideas and programs that Charles can have shows with. Python is on right now, its really really popular between programmers and is the actual niche, Charles agrees, he´s a bit surprised but its something that has been growing rapidly.
John Charles about his running schedule. Charles tells him that he´s doing really good, that the main problem that he had was that, not that it hurt (Wich it didn’t ), it was that he felt completely bored doing it, its completely mind game to pass this barrier, cause the distances get longer.
Thoughts of the week
CHARLES – “All it matters is that you have the mental fortitude to keep going, whether you like it or not”
We´re Live. No Mani today, he´s on vacation in Thailand and Charles we are not sure where he is. So this is a Simple Programmer guys show. Guys talk about possible negotiations for the future of SP and a lot of people that are turning down because they don’t have a clue what they want or how to do anything even.
There´s a pretty nice option in the table that can bring a lot of profit, but the guys need to talk to the person, there are funnels that work and are completely functional and proven to bring great profit, so they just need to get in sync.
Python is making a lot of money these days, you can make six figures being a python freelancer, the guys are aiming this way.
Guys talk about ads that were added to Facebook, and how they were not being really efficient.
Thoughts of the week
John – “Python Freelancers are making six figures, that´s amazing”
We´re Live. Mani starts telling the guys that he´s going on a trip to Thailand and wants to spend as many time as possible there. Charles wants to take this trip, also would like to travel the world, as an experience that´s definitely going to take a lot of time.
Josh Asks the guys for some creative ideas to track facebook campaigns, he finds very limited the data that Facebook provides in order to check everything is in running smoothly or in the other case, find out where he went wrong and fix the problem.
The guys recommend various ways to this, and they all agreed on one thing, they do not trust facebook in this cases, Josh has shown that in a lot of opportunities Facebook has taken credit for the sale on many occasions, this can create flaws and it makes it really difficult to track.
Thoughts of the week
“It is always best to take sales tracking in your own hand, you can't trust any software on this”
We´re Live. Guys start joking about John possibly having Mono, and Mani tells him that he´s pretty sure that he doesn’t have mono because mono is one most horrible experiences he´s had in his life. Apparently, he´s just tired.
Mani is experimenting to find new stuff for his business to grow. He tells its really difficult to sell to other people audiences, but I can be seen as leverage when working as a team, this is happening with Josh and john.
There are new promos that mani is trying but he´s not getting great results, compares numbers with Charles and gives some advice to boost the numbers. They talk about some software that is actually not helping get the goal. Sometimes experimenting with new stuff its not the best way to get to the finish line. Just need to make sure that the mistake it´s not a 200.000 $ one.
Guys make the statement that show notes on podcast are not the best tool to promo a sale, but nevertheless, it should be done correctly in order to get more people to buy, it doesn’t matter if its 2 or 3 sales, they always sum up.
Thoughts of the week
Mani- “Selling to other people audiences it’s the most hard thing to do, but there´s always leverage”

Charles Talks about adding video to his format, but not entirely sure because his strong suit is audio.
Josh Talks about paying taxes, an issue he has about a huge debt that he was due to a change of state, its basically a mess that he needs to sort out because this can catch him down and make a real problem of it.
Thoughts of the week:

Little details can make a sale go great to go incredibly bad, Mani and Josh share stories of various sales that went ridiculously high and some that went horrible and getting to the realization that small detail could make everything change with the knowledge that they already have.
Thoughts of the week
MANI – “TRAFFIC THAT FINDS YOU IS WAY MORE RESPONSIVE THAT TRAFFIC THAT YOU HAVE TO GO FIND”

Mani talks about the social media marketing world, he´s evaluating if it's going to go or not pros and cons etc. The Best pro is the amount of the great connections that he makes during these conferences, the content of the conference is not that important at all, the connections make it worth it.
The group talks about wich conferences are they going to go this year. They all agreed that is a necessary evil, to thrive on any business you need to make contacts and conferences are the best places to find them.
There are a few conferences that have a value as the conference itself not only for the money (If you´re speaking on it) but the actual content, but this not a common occurrence for the guys. Most of the people go to the cconference to get a higher audience but they´re not getting the point of it.
Thoughts of the week
MANI – “CONNECTIONS WITH PEOPLE ARE EXTREMELY VALUABLE”
JOSH- “I THINK IM GOING TO BUY… IS THE EXACT REACTION YOU WANT FROM A COSTUMER”

Charles and Mani debate about the best ways to produce content for podcast shows and how to expose it. Not just random conversation but it has to have meaning and directed to something specific. Blog posts it’s a great way to publish your content.
Thoughts of the week
MANI – “ A LOT OF TIME WE PRODUCE CONTENT WITHOUT LOOKING AT THE BIGGER PICTURE”

Josh and John get into a long discussion on when to know and how to handle small response offers, it is completely worth it and it keeps appearing a lot, especially sponsors who just want to make money a do not completely understand the whole process. Definitely, lots of time lost when you deal with stuff like this.
Thoughts of the week
JOHN –“SMALL RESPONSE BUSINESS IS NOT WORTH IT”
We´re Live, Charles starts off saying that he is in California too for a conference and tells John that he pissed off about what John said last week about him being bored. Tells him that John is completely right and because of this, he has become more productive than before. Also tells Mani that he was right too, really good advice for Charles last week has paid off.
John Talks about that he´s been doing a lot of videos based on current stuff that is happening right now, and that youtube is working that way now, kinda like a “Trending Topic” situation. Mani adds to the conversation that this could problematic due to the types of subscribers you will get doing this, it can easily get off track of the original content of the channel. Its something to keep an eye on.
Mani gets to a point that says your business model cannot be based on a social network, at any given moment that social network can totally change or even completely fail, just like Myspace. This is happening to a lot of YouTubers because youtube keeps changing every day.
On this note to get the audience you want, you have to think like the costumer, how would you like to be treated and even get that feeling of belonging to something that can be more fulfilling than any product out there.
Josh adds to this that positioning and time are crucial in this game, gives an example of a business that is not refined right now but its working because the product is hot.
Thoughts of the week
MANI- “AS A COSTUMER THE JOURNEY MUST NEVER END, IT SHOULD BE A CONSTANT”
JOSH- “IN ORDER TO GROW, YOU HAVE TO BE IN THE RIGHT PLACE AND THE RIGHT TIME”
We´re live. Charles starts talking to Mani about a podcast he has with him and wishes some guest would jump in. Asks Josh and John for advise on an ebook launch that he´s planning to do, regarding editors, proofreading and that kind of stuff.
Charles is looking to use the sales of the book as a lead magnet, John tells him that he needs to be clear on what the goal of the lead magnet is, makes a huge difference on how to use this lead, it has lots of marketing variations that can be used not just to make money.
Mani makes it clear that the main money machine when you do this type of actions is the email listing. The most important thing in all these marketing techniques (which are a lot), is the proper building of it, people want to market everything right away without the proper build for it. The main reason why so many entrepreneurs fail.
John gives a bit of solid advice to Charles on how he needs to focus on what he is good at and what he can scale up, to stop trying to look for an adventure that probably won't make him any money and worst of all could destroy everything that he has build up for years.
He needs to get to the point where scale up sufficiently enough for him to leave the main work to someone else and get that free time to create.
THOUGHTS OF THE WEEK
MANI –“ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES OF AN ENTREPRENEUR IS BUILDING RATHER THAN MARKETING”
JOSH –“ IF A PRODUCT IS REALLY GOOD IT WILL PROBABLY SEEL ITSELF”
JOHN-“IT MAKES SENSE BUT IS BULLSHIT. JUST FOCUS AND SCALE-UP”

Josh talks about how he is sick and has a virus and tells a funny anecdote about a new dryer that he bought. Also, tells the guys about some click funnels through Facebook that is not working very well.
Thought of the week
“You have to be really selective of the product that you want to sale, and be clear of the sheer amount of work that will be needed to take the gains”
We´re live. Josh starts joking how cold it is! Mani asks the guys how the sale went, Josh explains that is has been difficult. Using ads for interviews needs a time-sensitive aiming, it needs to be exact.
Josh Talks about the transition that Simple Programmer has gone through, it has evolved very well it's looking pretty optimistic for the next years.
The group talks about organic growth in the business. Al tough is a thing of the past that actually is something that makes no money at all, all business must start with organic growth because it’s the best way to know your audience and gather all the info needed to take the next step.

JOSH – “MORE MONEY, MORE PROBLEMS”
CHARLES -- "MANI YOU CAPITALIST, ALL YOU CARE ABOUT IS THE MONEY"
We´re Live, Google hangouts is going away and the guys are talking about what is the next solution for the reunions going to be, apparently lots of apps are getting erased due to the massive competition. Youtube Hangouts maybe?
John and Josh talk about an attribution problem they had with simple programmer, they started a sale on 199$ and then suddenly one person buys it really quickly but it's not appearing on the de data. The guys say that there´s a high probability that Facebook took the credit for the sale (WTF).
John explains to mani how a profitable funnel work when you invest money and makes more money than you spend on, but it has to work repeatedly, a money-making machine that works once is not a money-making machine.
The group talks about how ads can be very expensive and if you´re not careful it can be a lot of wasted money, especially when you hire an agency that runs these ads, various examples are given , one of them is a person that spends thousands of dollars on google ads and 80% is wasted. That is not the way to make money.
In all business, the best way to go with this is to learn yourself and go with it and you can make sure that everything is running smoothly, but there´s a point that you are going to need to hire someone for the financial end of things because you are running the business. Knowledge of all this can be the difference between being the one that fires the person or agency your hire or that person just leaves because on anyways no one is making any money.
THOUGHTS OF THE WEEK
JOHN –“ALL I CARE ABOUT IS MAKING MONEY”
MANI- ”THIS IS LIKE PROGRAMMING YOU DON’T PUT SOMEONE ELSE TO WRITE THE CODE FOR YOU”
We´re live. It all starts joking around on the Response that John had on his channel about the Gillette “Toxic Masculinity” Ad. Everyone thinks is the dumbest thing there is, it's completely misguided to masculinity, Charles says “It should be called DON´T BE AN A**HOLE You know? Or toxic Humanity” Masculinity and A*sshole behavior are completely different things.
Josh and Mani talk about how marketing almost never changes, what really changes over the years is the products or the quality of the products per se. Its all like a gold rush, it comes and goes like a wave and everybody needs to take the wave in order to stay in the market.
The conversation goes to how difficult it gets throughout the years to become an entrepreneur because communications have grown at an exaggerated rate that costumers are overflown with information and are basically saturated and the main thing to do is to focus that info for the customer.
On this same note John points out, yeah funnels work, but it doesn’t mean that all the people that are coming in are the same people that are going to buy, that this the real issue that needs to be handled and the only way to make it work is testing it. The need to be convinced for consumption, that is the key message. Communication that respects the medium.
Thoughts of the day
JOSH – “THE FUNDAMENTALS OF REALLY GOOD MARKETING DON´T CHANGE”
MANI – “IM GLAD THE TIME FOR SELLING TRASH IS OVER”

The Group talks about the different strategies that they can use to pick up sales and which ones have worked best for each of them, they even talk about using messenger.
Charles talks about how he screwed up this week, had some issues with his editor, which he says “it's my own fault”, not having a great communication can mislead to bad outcomes or even not publishing at all, this happened to Charles and he is trying to catch up. This happened with another editor before, so it's an issue that needs to be taken care of.
The group talks about brand advertising, how It will always work but it can be risky because it can take up a lot of money and if you don’t lead perfectly where it needs to be, lots of money can be down the drain.

Josh and Mani talk about launches and promotions, lead magnets and testing them to see which one is best. Josh talks about this process that has been present on Simple Programmer and trying lead magnets to get the best possible outcome.
Josh asks John for insights on the LLC for Simple Programmer and the legal part is asking for 300$ for a consultation, is this how they roll? actually, that is not cheap, but if you´re looking for the business to grow it is something that you need to do and cut no expenses.
Josh, John, and Mani talk about the differences, pros, and cons of personal and group coaching.
