Today we’re celebrating a huge milestone on The Art of Paid Traffic…

Our 100th episode!

I’m super pumped about this and I want to start by thanking you for listening.

Regardless of whether you’ve been a loyal listener since Episode #1, or if you started tuning in recently, we wouldn’t be recording Episode #100 without your support. So, thank you!

When I was trying to decide exactly how to take things up a notch in celebration of Episode #100, I kept coming back to a topic I’ve been speaking a lot about recently at live events and with my students…

What’s the easiest (& fastest) way to create a high-converting sales funnel?

This is one of my favorite topics — I love talking about it because I get to share a really cool exercise that when people do it the light bulb totally goes off and I hear — “ohhh, that was so easy!”

And I’m going to walk you through this same exercise here in episode 100.

You’ll discover, step-by-step, everything that goes into building a high-converting funnel that will generate leads and sales for your business every single day.

I can’t wait to share this with you, so let’s dive into our 100th episode.

On today’s show you’ll learn:

• Why starting with a game plan is essential for tracking the success of your funnel
• How to identify every step of your high-converting sales funnel by working backwards from your goal
• Which parts of your funnel might be optional, depending on the type of traffic you’re targeting
• The exact numbers you should be tracking within each step of your sales funnel
• Which metrics to focus on so you can maximize your ROI on FB Ads
• A checklist of tools, assets and details you need to fully finish your high-converting funnel
• My favorite quick tips to help you work through the most common roadblocks people experience when optimizing their funnels
• And a whole lot more…

How to Enter The 100th Episode Contest:

For your chance to win a free,100-minute strategy call with me, make a short video (3 minutes or less) telling me…

• What you do (what’s your niche and business?)
• Why you’re a good fit for this coaching/strategy session with me
• What you hope to get out of the session

Once your video is finished, be sure to complete these two steps:

1. Post the video on YouTube with a description that includes: rickmulready.com The Art of Paid Traffic Podcast Contest
2. Post the link to your video in the comments below, here on this page, rickmulready.com/100

Those are the ground rules…  

Here are a few hints to help you make your entry exceptionally compelling:

• In your video, I want you to do more than just tell me about yourself. Really show me what you’re about. Get as creative and expressive as you feel comfortable.
• This isn’t a “technology” contest, though – I’m not going to pick somebody just because they used a lot of fancy video effects.  But if video production is your jam, then go for it! Do whatever helps you express yourself the most.
• My team and I will select one winner based on your initiative, your willingness to put yourself out there, your enthusiasm, and your ability to communicate clearly what you do and what you want to get out of this time together.
• You have until Sunday September 11th, to post your video.
• All video entries must be posted in the comments of these show notes by Sunday, September 11, at 11:59 p.m. PST.
• We will announce the winner on Wednesday, September 21st, by putting the winners name into the show notes here and, of course, contacting the winner. Aaaand I will probably be talking about it all around social media, because I’ll be super pumped about it.
