Ben Higgins | The Bachelor, New Perspectives on Love, Inner Work & Ethical Business | Ep. 84
I'm joined by Ben Higgins for a candid conversation. We chat on life, love and learnings he's taken away from the spotlight now several years removed from staring as ABC's The Bachelor for S20 of the popular series back in 2016.
Ben is married, living in Colorado, and working full time on his charitable company Generous Coffee which donates all of their profits to in-need communities. He discusses how he plans to leverage his platform of 1M+ followers, what he discovered about love that he didn't know before the show, and some of the harsh truths of being a reality star. Enjoy!

103. How to Monetize Your Audience & Build a Sellable Content-Led Business
13:48Over the last decade, Content Marketing Institute has become the leading informational resource in the world for marketers looking to leverage content to spur and support business growth. CMI was founded in 2007 by Joe Pulizzi, now widely recognized as the Godfather of Content Marketing. In this mini masterclass, Joe shares the genesis of Content Marketing Institute and explains how he built the business to first serve his core audience, but also with the intention of selling for "Forever Money." This episode is ideal for content marketing professionals and content entrepreneurs who want to learn how to build a business from the ground up to one day sell for millions... but who are committed to investing in audience and serving that audience with value over the long haul.========================๐ Resources========================๐ ๐ฃ๐ฅ๐-๐ฅ๐๐๐๐ฆ๐ง๐๐ฅ - ๐๐ข๐ข๐ (๐ ๐๐ฅ๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฐ)๐ http://michaelbecker.org/contentcapitalistbook/๐ ๐๐ข๐จ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ & ๐ฆ๐๐ฅ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ฆ๐ http://michaelbecker.org/services/๐ ๐ฆ๐จ๐๐ฆ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ - ๐๐๐ข๐๐ http://www.michaelbecker.org๐ ๐๐ข๐ก๐ก๐๐๐ง - ๐ฆ๐ข๐๐๐๐๐ https://www.instagram.com/officialmbecker๐ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvbfJXLaqhJxQSPSYdfH-zQโ Thanks for listening!

07:51For most businesses, marketing is an expense.ย But what if it could be a revenue-producing machine for your business?In this episode, I offer a framework for how to create a profitable marketing organization. We've entered an era where content ought to 'house' marketing as a sub-function - not the other way around. Your whole business can and should be built on content!I also explain the four ways marketing can add value to the bottom line. Most people assume there's only one way - to drive new client acquisition. But with an expanded view of the strategic role content can play, and a commitment to it, you can literally add multiple new streams of cashflow, changing your business altogether.========================๐ Resources========================๐ ๐ฃ๐ฅ๐-๐ฅ๐๐๐๐ฆ๐ง๐๐ฅ - ๐๐ข๐ข๐ (๐ ๐๐ฅ๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฐ)๐ http://michaelbecker.org/contentcapitalistbook/๐ ๐๐ข๐จ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ & ๐ฆ๐๐ฅ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ฆ๐ http://michaelbecker.org/services/๐ ๐ฆ๐จ๐๐ฆ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ - ๐๐๐ข๐๐ http://www.michaelbecker.org๐ ๐๐ข๐ก๐ก๐๐๐ง - ๐ฆ๐ข๐๐๐๐๐ https://www.instagram.com/officialmbecker๐ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvbfJXLaqhJxQSPSYdfH-zQโ Thanks for listening!

05:36In this episode, I'm dropping thoughts on five paths toward status and respect which you can incorporate into your disposition and decision-making as we speak:โบ Articulate thoughts for maximum potency and impactโบ Become more unreachable; when your energy is unreciprocated, walk awayโบ Take a stance and have make a claim confidentlyโบ Seek and create leverage; always optimize for choicesโบ Be willing to "die" (to people and old versions)========================๐ Resources========================๐ ๐ฃ๐ฅ๐-๐ฅ๐๐๐๐ฆ๐ง๐๐ฅ - ๐๐ข๐ข๐ (๐ ๐๐ฅ๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฐ)๐ http://michaelbecker.org/contentcapitalistbook/๐ ๐๐ข๐จ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ & ๐ฆ๐๐ฅ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ฆ๐ http://michaelbecker.org/services/๐ ๐ฆ๐จ๐๐ฆ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ - ๐๐๐ข๐๐ http://www.michaelbecker.org๐ ๐๐ข๐ก๐ก๐๐๐ง - ๐ฆ๐ข๐๐๐๐๐ https://www.instagram.com/officialmbecker๐ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvbfJXLaqhJxQSPSYdfH-zQโ Thanks for listening!

12:20In this video, I'm breaking down the 4-part framework that all humans undergo before we make a decision to act.The purpose of marketing is to facilitate the flow of an audience from indifference to enrollment to devotion... which leads to a stark recognition of a dire need which can't be ignored, thus requiring immediate action.Your job is to break through the periphery, go beyond a preference, become a priority, and position your product as the only solution to an imminent, pressing need.You do this by telling your story, educating your audience about the issue or opportunity at hand, working with them one-on-one to help unlock a vision for change, and then, once that need is established, you hand over the keys to make it all possible.Watch full video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/5aGCERcrCFs========================๐ Resources========================๐ ๐ฃ๐ฅ๐-๐ฅ๐๐๐๐ฆ๐ง๐๐ฅ - ๐๐ข๐ข๐ (๐ ๐๐ฅ๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฐ)๐ http://michaelbecker.org/contentcapitalistbook/๐ ๐๐ข๐จ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ & ๐ฆ๐๐ฅ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ฆ๐ http://michaelbecker.org/services/๐ ๐ฆ๐จ๐๐ฆ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ - ๐๐๐ข๐๐ http://www.michaelbecker.org๐ ๐๐ข๐ก๐ก๐๐๐ง - ๐ฆ๐ข๐๐๐๐๐ https://www.instagram.com/officialmbecker๐ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvbfJXLaqhJxQSPSYdfH-zQโ Thanks for listening!

06:57In this episode, I'm sharing an exclusive snippet from my new mastercourse. I break down a mock 3-step outreach cadence that you can insert into your prospecting work right away.With DMs and inMails today, you've got to get to the value for the recipient up-front (first line) - no fluff, no BS, no wasted space. Abbreviations, brevity and even slang are your friend. As I share in the episode, one trending strategy being used lately is short messages designed to sort of "erk" the prospect in order to trigger a response and open dialogue (e.g., "Michael? Are you there??"). There are a few others we walk through.The thing with DM techniques is that they're changing on a quarterly basis; new attention arbitrage hacks are being surfaced monthly as the market becomes desensitized to hooks that were working just a few months ago. So you've got to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to prospecting and selling-via-chat. #leadgen #prospecting #sellviachat #dm #dmbeasts========================๐ Resources========================๐ ๐ฃ๐ฅ๐-๐ฅ๐๐๐๐ฆ๐ง๐๐ฅ - ๐๐ข๐ข๐ (๐ ๐๐ฅ๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฐ)๐ http://michaelbecker.org/contentcapitalistbook/๐ ๐๐ข๐จ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ & ๐ฆ๐๐ฅ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ฆ๐ http://michaelbecker.org/services/๐ฅ ๐๐ข๐๐ก - ๐๐ ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐จ๐ฃ ๐๐ข๐ฅ ๐๐ข๐ก๐ง๐๐ก๐ง ๐๐ก๐ง๐ฅ๐๐ฃ๐ฅ๐๐ก๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ https://www.facebook.com/groups/contententrepreneurs๐ ๐ฆ๐จ๐๐ฆ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ - ๐๐๐ข๐๐ http://www.michaelbecker.org๐ ๐๐ข๐ก๐ก๐๐๐ง - ๐ฆ๐ข๐๐๐๐๐ https://www.instagram.com/officialmbecker๐ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvbfJXLaqhJxQSPSYdfH-zQโ Thanks for listening!

08:12In this episode, I explain why members-only content communities are the future of marketing... and how you can take advantage of this shift.The โnew" era of marketing isnโt aimed at convincing anyone of anything, but rather creating content communitiesโand companiesโthat speak for themselves and sell on your behalf. With content communities, in the subtle energy balance, the company or creator takes the power position.Gated VIP groups are so powerful because theyโre owned, reliable, economical mass nurturing ecosystems. Groups are an emerging and effective strategy to drive demand from people who will inevitably turn into more trusting prospects (compared to cold outreach) in due time. While you might be able to attain far more impressions, open up more conversations, and even set up discovery calls using setters or ads on social, the thing youโre solving for with a group is not necessarily how many meetings get set but rather the level of trust and degree of willingness that people who apply will bring to the table simply by virtue of being nurtured more intently. #contentcommunities #communitymarketing #creatoreconomy========================๐ Resources========================๐ ๐ฃ๐ฅ๐-๐ฅ๐๐๐๐ฆ๐ง๐๐ฅ - ๐๐ข๐ข๐ (๐ ๐๐ฅ๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฐ)๐ http://michaelbecker.org/contentcapitalistbook/๐ฅ ๐๐ข๐๐ก - ๐๐ ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐จ๐ฃ ๐๐ข๐ฅ ๐๐ข๐ก๐ง๐๐ก๐ง ๐๐ก๐ง๐ฅ๐๐ฃ๐ฅ๐๐ก๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ https://www.facebook.com/groups/contententrepreneurs๐ ๐ฆ๐จ๐๐ฆ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ - ๐๐๐ข๐๐ http://www.michaelbecker.org๐ ๐๐ข๐ก๐ก๐๐๐ง - ๐ฆ๐ข๐๐๐๐๐ https://www.instagram.com/officialmbecker๐ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvbfJXLaqhJxQSPSYdfH-zQโ Thanks for listening!
