To grow online, the highest-leverage decision isnβt to make more content. Itβs engineering content that multiplies across platforms, people, pipelines.Distribution canβt be an afterthought, by any stretch. It is the strategy.

This is a portion of my interview with Nicole Bremner on her show, The Prosperity Podcast.

I had a massive download crystallize a few weeks ago. For me, personally, in my simulation, the tide has turned: It's no longer about quantity of reps, volume of outreach, or numbers. I had believed it was for a long time, even after awakening. As you ascend in consciousness, material results become a byproduct of presence, alignment, and concentrated focus brought to a point in a single moment. You'll have more success with two high-impact, attuned outreaches than 10,000 where you go through the motions. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
I always think about this: How would you live if you knew you'd be asked upon exiting from the matrix, "So, what did you accomplish down there?" I've read enough Michael Newton and Dolores Cannon, and listened to enough (tens of thousands of) NDE accounts, to know this does occur. When you come out of the Earth construct, your council of elders are going to sit you down and say, "So, let's discuss what you achieved." In advanced, cases, they'll ask you to show and break down evidence that you 'got it.' "What proof do you have to suggest that you did the best with the gifts we gave you," they'll posit. I want to be able to share a stack of undeniable evidence of my mastery. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
I've been plunging religiously for 2.5 years. It's changed my recovery. I heal faster, I feel stronger, and my flight-or-fight response has become refined tenfold. I' m now addicted.

I want to share three ways to enable monthly recurring revenue and three ways to grow customer lifetime value, regardless of your business model.There are essentially three ways to enable MRR: a full-fledged subscription or membership business; what I call a βperpetual performance-basedβ pseudo subscription option; or optional add-on recurring products that customers can buy after a one-time initiation.And there are three primary methods to grow CLTV once you do that. You can raise prices incrementally (the quickest but most risky), launch new products (enabling alternative purchase options), and speed up your retention point (the moment customers associate your business with an impulse/need/desire and continually come to you without even thinking).β π‘ππ«π§ π¦π§ππ£π¦ β===============π CONTENT CAPITALIST: https://t.ly/9_9JG===============π eLearning Academy: https://t.ly/u0Dk5===============π Articles: https://michaelbecker.org/articles/=============== Hosted on Acast.

The Content Continuum is not only the most accurate but also the most mutually-beneficial model for both company and customer.In this episode, I chat with Hernan on The Business Bros Podcast to share my new model for modern marketers. Whereas a quick sale was the goal before, the new strategy is built to house and help as large an audience as possible while patiently escorting a portion forward at each threshold much like a dam operator might, to use an analogy. Brands running a Continuum put media at the core of their entire commercial structure, using it as a tool to guide, enrich, and progressively up-skill their community across every touch point. They recognize their audience moves unpredictably among the blurred stages in their curated ecosystem, and happily promote that flow.Β The stages in the new continuum include: Discovery, Nurturing, Investment, Enrollment, Ascension, and Advocacy.Β I share more in my book, linked below.β π‘ππ«π§ π¦π§ππ£π¦ β===============π CONTENT CAPITALIST: https://t.ly/9_9JG===============π eLearning Academy: https://t.ly/u0Dk5===============π Articles: https://michaelbecker.org/articles/=============== Hosted on Acast.

It's time to move to a distributed brand newsroom. An emergent opportunity for entrepreneurs building companies is to decentralize the content function by moving to what I call a participatory publishing model.Β Here, your entire team is responsible for content (not one or two marketing people).In a creator-centric model, the system constraint is the capacity (and limited knowledge base) of the team responsible for creating content. But letβs be honest: most content managers are trained to write for SEO and top-funnel traffic, not for the customer.With a company-centric newsroom, there is no constraint. Content is guaranteed to be more diverse, more relevant and more value-additive for an audience whoβs looking for real, tangible, unbiased stuff that they know they wonβt glean from a surface-level blog written by a junior marketing person.β π‘ππ«π§ π¦π§ππ£π¦ β===============π CONTENT CAPITALIST: https://t.ly/9_9JG===============π eLearning Academy: https://t.ly/u0Dk5===============π Articles: https://michaelbecker.org/articles/=============== Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, I explain how humans are poised to evolve with, and, ultimately, through technology. I share how my view on technological mergence has shifted 180-degrees from where I was three or four years ago. The transhumanist dystopia many are fearful about is only one (and a very unlikely) scenario. The truth is that ascensionβa divine and spiritual process whereby consciousness progresses toward reintegration with the Oneness, with Sourceβmust happen with technology as a sort of accelerant. We are in the process of catalyzing a quantum shift in Humanity's evolution and technology is a tool with which we will supercharge our ascension as a human race. I share thoughts on what this all means and why it matters.β π‘ππ«π§ π¦π§ππ£π¦ β===============π CONTENT CAPITALIST: https://t.ly/9_9JG===============π eLearning Academy: https://t.ly/u0Dk5===============π Articles: https://michaelbecker.org/articles/=============== Hosted on Acast.

I was selected to participate in Antler's Spring '24 MENAP cohort, their first in Dubai. Getting invited into Antler is statistically more difficult to do than gaining acceptance into Harvard. For context, Antler accepts about 3% of applicants across their 12 global locations, and the acceptance rate for their MENAP arm is even less than that (0.2%). I lived in Dubai for a two-month residency for the startup prior to splitting up with my team.In this episode, I share five learnings from the journey.β π‘ππ«π§ π¦π§ππ£π¦ β===============π CONTENT CAPITALIST: https://t.ly/9_9JG===============π eLearning Academy: https://t.ly/u0Dk5===============π Articles: https://michaelbecker.org/articles/=============== Hosted on Acast.
