How To Increase Your Edge Rank And Sell More Stuff On Facebook!

Over the past year I’ve learned more about how to market on Facebook than ever before, and I’m not talking Facebook ads.

In this video I’m showing you a couple of ways (10 in total) on how to increase your edge rank and sell more stuff on Facebook. It’s not gonna be some secret software or anything either, it’s just gonna be some simple tweaks you can use pretty much immediately and they’ll help you make more sales than just dropping a link to your blog posts or affiliate link.

So without further ado about nothing…(we’ll roll with that), here’s my little list below, watch the video above to get some seriously good tips on how to get more people to see whatever offers you have so you can make more sales.

10 Tips on increasing your edge rank

1. Make people your “close friend”
2. Do NOT put external links in your original post. You can put them in the first comment instead (let people know this!)
3. Separate the DOT and the COM when you leave any link in your original post. This way people can see the entire link, but it won’t actually be a clickable link. EXAMPLE: www.nichesbecrazy .com <---- (See what I did here? Let people know that there's a space there too!)
4. Use software that lets you put a link on your video (personally I’m using Wirecast, but you can use OBS as well if it works for you). Alternatively, you can add a picture.
5. Add pictures to or GIFS to your posts (unless that post is an external link, experiment with this though)
6. If you’re doing a text post, break it up. I don’t know how many times I see people drop a gigantic UGLY block of text that I wouldn’t read EVEN with Mark Twain’s eyes.
7. Create your own Facebook group and invite prospects and colleagues (yes other marketers will buy from you too, I think it’s ok to say “hey I’ll pick this up through your link” and return the favor when you see something that can help you), OH and pretty much everyone can see your external links in your ORIGINAL POST in a Facebook group.
8. Instead of sending people to a YouTube video, download the video (or just upload the MP4) and add it as a Facebook video directly. You?ll get way more views or you can do the link in the first comment thingy if you use a YouTube video (like in #2)
9. Use a Facebook syndication software to get more views. My favorite ones right now are Live Leap and Live Stream Machine.
10. Pick up my Lethal Affiliate Weapon if you want more guidance, some of what I?ve taught you here is just a snippet of what I teach in my course.

How To Overcome Shiny Object Syndrome

Ahh…the dreaded “Shiny Object Syndrome“.

What a beeatch eh?

Everyone has had it in the past (I’m about 99.999999…% sure of this) or they still have it (I know I do from time to time who am I kitten?).

But what drives it?

You don?t WANT to buy over and over and over again.

But you do.

It’s like these guys know what they’re doing with their sexy sales pages, pain points, etc. lol.

Here’s what I think/KNOW is going on (from personal experience & observation):

You lack a clear plan or a purpose young Skywalker.

AND your body/mind need one in order to operate most successfully.

So when you don?t have one, and your body/mind need one…

Then it looks for the first thing you can do that makes you feel productive.

That may come in the form of checking your email often, spending copious amounts of time on Facebook being unproductive, OR of course…buying up a new shiny object.

A few examples that will hit close to home

Think about it.

This is kinda like when a retired person wakes up with nothing to do.

Maybe he watches a couple o’ hours of news, heads over to to his local diner/pub/whatever and gives his “views on the news” with the locals for the next few hours. It makes him feel like he’s important and like he’s been productive in some way.

One more example is perhaps when you know someone who doesn’t have a job (or you may have been/currently are this person, I’ll admit that I have in the past) and then spends…Oh I don’t know, maybe 30-45 minutes per day “hunting” for a job so they can say that they really tried hard and that hey…“Nobody’s hiring!”.

This reminds me of a saying in Spanish that goes:

“Estan buscando jale pidiendole a Dios no encontrar.”

Translation: “They’re looking for work begging God to NOT find any.”

Sound familiar?

This is pretty much a self-preservation kinda thing.

You see it’s hard for people to admit that they currently suck (put that one on a quilt hee hee), and maybe they’re really looking to coast for a bit and don’t wanna admit that.

I could ramble on and on about this, but you’re a smart cookie…methinks you gets the point.

Your 3-step plan to destroy Shiny Object syndrome

So let’s get back to you, les entrepreneur extraordinaire.

You NEED to feel validated in your work holmes, but if you lack a plan/purpose…then you’ll fall back into checking your email, or Facebook, and buying up every digital product up under the Tuscan sun.

Or something like that.

So without further adios, here are the steps I think you can take to murder the shit out of your Shiny Object Syndrome:

1. Create a kick-ass, rock-solid/redundant plan of the shit you want to get done in the next month or better yet YEAR.
2. Get out a paper & pen and physically write out your kick-ass, rock-solid plan so you can achieve dat shit.
3. ESTO ES MUY IMPORTANTE BATMAN: Make sure to absolutely, positively, oh my god I can’t believe it’s not butter (sorry I got lost there for a second) NOT work on ANYTHING else before your daily work is DONE SON! That means you do NOT open email, get on Facebook, or buy a damned thing until that shit is done.

I’m sorry for virtually yelling, but I had to get my point across and I just drank a Diet Coke so things are getting a lil’ crazy here in the Lopez household.

This…makes sense right?

In fact, you’re probably thinking to yourself something like: “Man, this SEEMS like common sense, and boy is that Phil smart/handsome!”

Right-e-o on both accounts my dear Watson.

You see, you’ll start feeling validated once you get this shit done for the day and you won’t even feel the NEED to open up your email, Facebook, and maybe…the urge to buy new shiny objects will lessen (I’ll admit that I still get my urges, I wanted to buy something last night because of scarcity and the fact that I can probably make some quick moolah with it).

Next, you’re gonna only be using email (get this…) when you ACTUALLY need to use it. The same goes for Facebook, you only get on there when you ACTUALLY need to connect with people, and you ONLY buy something new when you ACTUALLY need to or the software/training will exponentially help automate a part of your business so you can have more time, save Mary Jane, take the gun leave the cannoli, and save 15% on your car insurance!!

Damn, got lost again but I think you catch my drift 🙂

DON’T buy shit that says something like “You NEED to buy this OR you will fail.”

That’s utter and complete horse poop, STOP being scared into buying stuff!

Now the plan of attack is to just simply execute your rock-solid plan every stinkin’ day, and all the other crap won’t seem as important as it was before because you’ll be too damn busy being super freakin’ productive.

Self-discipline? Nah try this instead.

Think about it.

It’s kinda like when you watch a TV show at a certain time, let’s say 5:30pm (I used to watch Jeopardy with my pops & siblings and we’d battle at who could get the most answers right…NERDS!).

These people (I mean WE) are addicted.

So what’s easier?

Learning the art of self-discipline OR just filling that schedule up with something else?

You know the answer Daniel-San.

Same thing goes for your business playa.

Bet ya just went from “Aha…” to “Oh sheeeeeat! Phil’s droppin’ some knowledge bombs!”

Breakfast Embed Review

Today I?m giving you my honest opinion “Breakfast Embed” by Lee Murray.

I?ll be giving you the pros & cons on it and here?s a shocker: a BONUS because I like this product wanna give you an incentive to get it through me of course lol.

Forget all that 9.9 out of 10 stars crap, let me just tell you what this product is about, where it falls a little short, and why you should get it anyways.

Overview of Breakfast Embed

So here’s one sentence on what this product is about without giving away the farm:

Breakfast Embed is all about building a niche site, embedding related YouTube videos, and monetizing them (in more than one way).

Now this is an info product, so I don’t really want to give away the farm because I don’t think that’s fair to Lee.

Let’s get to some of the pros and the cons of Breakfast Embed.

Pros

You DON’T have to create your own content

You can literally just go to YouTube, grab the embeddable iframe code and make money with it by putting it on your blog. Now there is more that goes into that (it’s explained in the product of course), and I can tell you that a lot of people have a hard time creating content. Call it writer’s block, content creator’s block, or whatever you wanna call it (I get it too!). I know I shot the video on this page about 20 times because you can get caught in a perfectionist mindset.

You’ll be monetizing your blog in a NON-spammy way

Like I said before…this whole 9.9 out of 10 stars just looks spammy to me, I just think it looks spammy. I think that when you do this it can have kind of a “banner blindness” kind of thing. It’ll be easy for people to just see you as another one of those guys.

 Video marketing is VERY powerful

Now I don’t think I have to go too much into this, but video marketing is super dynamic compared to other content. Not everyone wants to read a 1,000 word blog post anymore. You can really increase your branding by using video and the cool thing about the method taught in Breakfast Embed is that you don’t even have to have your face on camera (SIDE NOTE: You can always make your own YouTube videos for increase brandability).

Sound SEO strategies

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m no SEO whiz. But I will tell you that if you create good quality content regularly…then you’re stuff will rank on Google faster (FREE TRAFFIC). 

You can get started quickly

Now there is some legwork here (like any real NON-BS “get rich quick” strategy, that doesn’t work mind you lol), but you can get started TODAY. You WON’T be a millionaire overnight, but I want you to think about what it would be like to have a niche site with TONS of content that’s getting subscribers DAILY…and you’re monetizing your blog in a few different ways. 

I just don’t see how you can fail with this strategy IF you put in the legwork guys.

With that being said, let’s get on to the cons of Breakfast Embed.

Cons

No product is perfect and I want to tell you about my biggest issue with this product. 

There?s a part in Breakfast Embed where Lee talks about using Spintax (this is something that I have VERY little experience with tbh) that would be better explained with a video. Lee does mention some really cool ways to do this without your text coming out wonky, but I still think a quick video would have been much better.

Also, Lee does mention a tool that will help you immensely with this part. 

I know this is on purpose.

There’s a free and a paid way to do things, and of course the paid way is easier. I have no problem with that, but I still think Lee could’ve made a quick video showing you this. That may be asking too much from a low-ticket product like  this, but I’m just giving you my personal opinion on a part I struggled with a little bit. 

Lee’s a bit of a sailor (like me)

Another thing is that Se?or Murray is a bit of a cusser (so am I), so if you’re uncomfortable with that in ANY way…then I don’t think this is for you because there’s some of that (not a ton, but enough if you don’t like that).

Conclusion

To wrap things up, I think Breakfast Embed is one of the coolest and most sound strategies of making money online I’ve come across because you don’t have to create your own content (mostly) to get started. You could easily buy a niche-related domain name, find free YouTube videos to embed, and monetize them EXACTLY how Lee mentions step-by-step.

How To Never Run Out Of Content!

So if you’re trying to make money online, you needs content son. 

Content is king…blah, blah, blah.

GOOD content is king and it’s good to have more than just one damn post or one damn video. 

However…the thing is that you run out of crap to say, write or whatever.

SO I’m gonna show you how to NEVER run out of content (cheap SEO BS here hee hee).

10X10 Matrix

So I find myself trying to make a blog post and I get to my Google Doc, the backend of my WordPress or something else and I get writer’s block (or whatever the equivalent is for making videos lol).

It sometimes turns into just whatever pops into the ol’ noggin, but it can be unorganized.

So why not create a plethora of ideas and then just pick and choose?

That’s what I did below, feel free to steal any ideas if you can read my serial killer handwriting lol: 

Not sure why I didn’t type this lol.

**UPDATE: I Actually did, click here to download my 10×10 matrix!

Conclusion

So I think this will truly help you never run out of content and keep you creating like a mofo. 

Now in the video I mention re-purposing content.

I did just that with this Facebook live video, I made it into a YouTube video by downloading it with the Facebook HD Video Downloader Google Chrome extension.

Shit, say that 10 times real fast lol. 

It’s awesome and…YOU SHOULD BE USING IT IF YOU’RE DOING FACEBOOK LIVE VIDEOS!

Well, that’s it for this post pretty much, please feel free to post a pic or a screenshot of your 10X10 matrix in the comments below IF you’re brave lol. 

Oh one more thing, if YOU (I’m pointing right now) are struggling to come up with a 10X10 matrix and want to have ideas galore and make more money online, I suggest you pick up the digital version of my 10X10 Matrix by click here.

That’s it, thank you for your time playa 😉
