<![CDATA[

With the eruption of SMS marketing over the past few years, the powers that be have started to crack down hard on people who are abusing the system.

Think A2P 10 DLC, which still sends shudders down marketers’ spines.

But, as with all these regulations, the dust settles, and it actually benefits those who are serious about marketing.

In my community, there is a lot of confusion around SMS compliance and what are the do’s and don’ts they need to look out for.

So I thought I’d put down how I go about things to try and help people settle their nerves. 

Full disclosure, I am not a legal expert and you should be consulting with one if you are unsure what you are meant to be doing. 

This is just what I do in my Agency.

 

A2P 10 DLC SMS Compliance

Up first is of course the dreaded A2P compliance.

This is a non-negotiable if you are SMS’ing US numbers. US carriers will block your messages if you haven’t verified your number. So do this ASAP after signing a client. 

A few myths to Dispell…

  • You CAN verify your US number using a registered Business address outside of the US.
  • It is NOT difficult to get verified, just make sure you follow this tutorial to letter and you should be good (reach out and ask for my template if you are confused here)
  • It DOES NOT cost a lot of money to get verified.
  • It ONLY Affects you texting US numbers. 
  • One Business CAN have multiple phone numbers verified to them.
  • You need to verify a number for EACH client.

What is the regulation around SMS marketing?

Ok so firstly, this is based on EU legislation, which at the time of writing is the most stringent, so it’s a good starting point.

Firstly it depends on the consent collected from the lead. 

If you have collected their consent to SMS them then you are pretty much good to go, and opt-out messaging isn’t necessarily needed but obviously still good practice.

If they haven’t given their explicit consent, you can still SMS them using the “loop-hole” called a “soft opt-in”.

A soft opt-in is where you have a customer’s details, but don’t necessarily have their consent to SMS them.

The soft opt-in allows you to send marketing SMSs based on the assumption that they can reasonably expect to receive them, after their interactions with your company.

Whether that’s a purchase or an enquiry.

However, you will need to add an opt-out message on each marketing text to allow them to unsubscribe. 

NOW the million dollar question in our community…

If you are using Our Sleeping Beauty Android, or an AI Chatbot in general…

AND, you have a list of “Soft Opt-Ins”…

Do you need to add the opt-out message on EVERY message from the bot.

My answer is… NO.

You only need to ad the opt-out message on the first message.

This is because the first message is classed as a Marketing Text. 

But if the lead responds, they have now entered into a 1-on-1 conversation (even if it is with AI) and the opt-out message is not longer needed.

Hopefully that helps clear that up.

The must haves  SMS messaging

So there are a few must-haves in your SMS messaging…

  • You must state your name in the first message and also the company you are messaging from. This helps be transparent upfront and ensures companies can’t send shady texts that can confuse people as to who you are.
  • In the first message, you should be adding an opt-out on the end. I.e. Reply “STOP” to Unsubscribe. This is only if you are messaging soft opt-ins.

The Ultimate Guide to Email Marketing: Navigating Email Deliverability and Compliance

In the digital age, email marketing remains a cornerstone of effective communication strategies for businesses worldwide.

However, the landscape of email marketing is continuously evolving. Providers like Gmail and Yahoo tightening security measures to protect users from spam and unauthorized emails.

Here, we highlight the critical importance of adhering to these changes to ensure your email efforts are both successful and compliant.

This blog post delves into the essential steps and strategies for enhancing your email marketing campaigns. Focusing on email deliverability and email compliance.

Understanding Email Marketing Challenges

Three years ago, many businesses, including marketing and lead generation agencies, experienced a significant drop in email open rates — plummeting from an impressive 30-50% to a mere 3-4%.

This decline was a clear indicator of issues within email databases. This prompted a need for a healthier approach to email marketing.

Dan’s journey through improving email health and compliance sheds light on the importance of staying ahead in email marketing practices.

 

The Pillars of  Email Deliverability and Compliance

To combat the challenges of declining open rates and ensure your emails reach your audience, it’s essential to focus on key areas:

  1. Branded Sending Domains: Using a domain that reflects your brand enhances reputation and deliverability. Implementing a subdomain for email purposes, as demonstrated with Flexx Digital’s approach, is a best practice for maintaining brand consistency and avoiding spam filters.
  2. Email Security Measures (DMARC and SPF): Setting up DMARC and SPF records on your domain is crucial for authentication, signaling to email providers that your emails are legitimate and improving overall security.
  3. Maintaining a Low Spam Rate: High spam rates can damage your sender reputation. Engaging with your audience in a meaningful way and ensuring your emails are wanted will help maintain a healthy relationship with email service providers.
  4. One-Click Unsubscribe Links: Providing an easy way for recipients to opt-out of your emails is not just a best practice; it’s a compliance requirement. This transparency builds trust and reduces spam complaints.
  5. Avoid Using Personal Email Addresses for Bulk Sending: Utilize your branded domain for sending bulk emails. This practice reinforces your brand’s professionalism and aligns with email providers’ expectations for serious marketers.

Implementing Best Practices for Email Success

Graham, a team member at Flexxable, outlines a step-by-step guide for setting up branded sending domains, configuring DNS settings for DMARC and SPF, and ensuring emails are fully compliant.

This detailed walkthrough emphasizes the importance of technical setup in achieving high deliverability rates.

For those looking to dive deeper into the technical aspects of setting up email deliverability and compliance measures, platforms like HighLevel offer user-friendly interfaces for managing these settings.

Additionally, Cloudflare and GoDaddy are mentioned as reliable domain providers that can facilitate these configurations.

The Future of Email Marketing

As email service providers continue to evolve their security and compliance standards, it’s imperative for businesses to stay informed and adapt.

By implementing the strategies outlined by experts like Dan and Graham, businesses can safeguard their email marketing efforts against being flagged as spam or, worse, being shut down entirely.

Take Action Now

The journey to improving email marketing is ongoing.

Start by auditing your current practices, implementing the recommended strategies, and continuously monitoring your campaign’s performance.

Expert Insights on Facebook Ads Structure in 2024

In the rapidly evolving world of Facebook advertising, understanding the intricacies of ad account structure is paramount for achieving campaign success. Dan and Graham from Flexxable provide valuable insights into the most effective strategies for Facebook ads structure in 2024. This blog explores their methodologies, emphasizing the importance of campaign structure to maximize ad performance.

The Evolution of Facebook Ads Structure

Facebook’s algorithm has undergone significant transformations, necessitating a shift from granular media buying to a more streamlined approach. The focus now lies in simplifying Facebook campaign structures without sacrificing performance. The key lies in balancing creative content, offers, and campaign setup.

 

Simplified Yet Effective Facebook Ads Structures

Basic Structure for Limited Budgets

For advertisers with limited budgets and minimal creative resources, a simplified structure is ideal. This involves setting up a few ad sets, each targeting a different audience but sharing the same set of ads. This strategy enables Facebook’s algorithm to optimize ad delivery effectively.

Advanced Structure for Broader Reach

With a larger budget, advertisers can opt for a more advanced Facebook Ads Structure. This involves creating separate ad sets for different placements like feeds and reels, allowing for tailored content that resonates better with the audience in each placement.

Key Takeaways for Facebook Ads Structure in 2024

  1. Avoid Single Ad Ad Sets: Facebook’s algorithm prefers having multiple ads to optimize within an ad set. A minimum of two ads per ad set is recommended for better performance.

  2. Budget Allocation: Ensure that each ad within an ad set receives sufficient budget to gather meaningful data and performance insights.

  3. Optimal Ad Placement: Utilize both feeds and reels placements to diversify reach and engage with audiences effectively.

  4. Ad Set Variations: Create ad sets targeting different audiences while maintaining a consistent set of ads across these sets for better comparison and optimization.

  5. Data-Driven Approach: Transition to broader audiences and lookalike audiences only after accumulating sufficient data (e.g., a thousand clicks or 500 conversions) for more efficient targeting.

The Importance of Creative and Offer

A compelling offer combined with engaging creative content is crucial. These elements can significantly overshadow the intricacies of your Facebook Ads structure, especially when dealing with broad offers. The right combination of offer and creative can lead to substantial success regardless of the campaign’s structural complexities.

Conclusion

Facebook ads structure in 2024 revolves around simplicity, data-driven decisions, and a balanced approach to creative content and offer. By following these expert insights from Dan and Graham at Flexxable, advertisers can navigate the complexities of Facebook’s evolving algorithm and craft campaigns that resonate with their target audiences.

In the rapidly evolving world of digital marketing, staying ahead of the curve is essential. This is where Midjourney comes into play, revolutionizing the way we approach Facebook ad creatives. Dan from Flexxable shares his experience on leveraging Midjourney for creating visually captivating and cost-effective ad images, transforming their marketing strategy.

This cost efficiency is a crucial factor for businesses aiming to maximize their marketing budget.

Dan’s journey with Facebook ad creatives highlights a notable evolution. Initially, they relied on basic ‘fugly’ ads, which were effective in both B2B and B2C sectors. However, the need for innovation led them to explore video creatives, reaping the benefits of cheap reels and stories on Facebook and Instagram. Eventually, integrating Midjourney’s AI-generated images resulted in further cost reductions and enhanced ad performance.

Midjourney in Action

  • Use detailed prompts to guide the AI in creating specific and relevant images.
  • Experiment with various styles, such as Wes Anderson’s vibrant and futuristic aesthetics, to make your ads stand out.
  • Opt for paid Midjourney accounts for uninterrupted access and higher image creation limits.
  • For prompts and detailed instructions on how to create these images, go to the 6:00 minute mark of the video at the top of the page. 

Legal Considerations

While exploring the creative possibilities with Midjourney, it’s important to stay mindful of the legal aspects, especially when using AI-generated images of celebrities.

Conclusion

Midjourney has proven to be a valuable asset in the realm of Facebook ad creatives, offering innovative solutions to traditional advertising challenges. By leveraging this AI-powered tool, businesses can create more impactful, cost-effective ads that resonate with their target audience.

Lead Distribution With Zapier & Go HighLevel

In today’s competitive digital landscape, mastering the art of lead distribution is crucial for businesses looking to optimize their sales funnel. With tools like HighLevel and Zapier, the process of distributing leads to multiple clients becomes not only manageable but highly efficient. This blog post, inspired by an informative video by Flexxable, delves into the nuances of utilizing HighLevel and Zapier for effective lead distribution.

The Need for Efficient Lead Distribution

Businesses generating a plethora of leads require a robust system to ensure these leads are efficiently distributed to different clients. While bespoke solutions like LeadByte are often recommended, they may not be feasible for every business, especially startups. This is where HighLevel and Zapier come into play, offering a cost-effective yet powerful solution for lead distribution.

 

Go HighLevel and Zapier: A Dynamic Duo

HighLevel is a marketing platform designed to streamline various aspects of a digital marketing campaign, including lead management. When coupled with Zapier, an automation tool that connects your apps and services, it creates a powerful system for distributing leads. This combination is particularly useful for businesses starting their lead generation journey or those operating with lower volumes.

Implementing Lead Distribution with HighLevel and Zapier

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Setting Up Triggers: Start by setting up triggers using a Facebook lead form, Typeform, or any quiz software that sends an API trigger. This initiates the distribution process once a lead is generated.

  2. Python Code for Random Allocation: Use Python code in Zapier to randomly distribute leads among clients. This code ensures an even distribution, avoiding biases towards any particular client (From the 3-minute mark in the video above).

  3. Customizing Client Distribution: Tailor the distribution by changing the client names in the code. This flexibility allows you to distribute leads based on specific client needs or quotas.

  4. Creating Paths in Zapier: Utilize paths in Zapier to direct leads to specific clients based on the outcome of the Python script. This step ensures that each client receives the appropriate leads.

  5. Connecting to HighLevel: Link each client to a unique HighLevel account, ensuring that leads are sent to the correct destination. This connection is pivotal for maintaining organization and efficiency.

  6. Monitoring and Adjusting Quotas: Regularly monitor the distribution and adjust the Python code as needed to adhere to client quotas or preferences.

  7. Troubleshooting and Optimization: Always test and troubleshoot the setup to ensure seamless lead distribution. Continuous optimization is key to maintaining an effective distribution system.

The Benefits of This Approach

  • Cost-Effective: Ideal for businesses with budget constraints or those not ready to invest in more expensive distribution software.
  • Flexibility: Easily adjustable to cater to changing client needs and quotas.
  • Scalability: Suitable for businesses with a growing client base, allowing for easy addition or removal of clients from the distribution list.

Conclusion

Efficient lead distribution is pivotal for maximizing the potential of your lead generation efforts. By harnessing the power of HighLevel and Zapier, businesses can implement a cost-effective, flexible, and scalable system for distributing leads among various clients.

UTM Parameters With Google Analytics

In the digital marketing world, understanding where your traffic, leads, and sales originate from is crucial. This is where UTM parameters integrated with Google Analytics 4 (GA4) become indispensable, especially when tracking the performance of Facebook ads. In this blog, we delve deep into setting up UTM parameters within GA4, offering a step-by-step guide to fine-tuning your analytics for better insights and decision-making.

What are UTM Parameters?

UTM (Urchin Tracking Module) parameters are simple code snippets added to a URL to track the performance of online campaigns. When a user clicks a link with UTM parameters, those tags are sent back to your Google Analytics for tracking. It’s a powerful way to understand the effectiveness of your campaigns across different platforms, including Facebook ads.

 

Setting Up GA4 for UTM Tracking

Firstly, you need a GA4 account. GA4, the latest iteration of Google Analytics, offers more flexibility and deeper insights compared to its predecessor. Once you have your account, you’ll create a property and set up data streams to begin tracking.

Step 1: Configuring GA4

After logging into GA4, navigate to the ‘Setup Assistant’ and select ‘Data Streams’. Here, you can either manually add the GA4 tracking code to your website or use Google Tag Manager for a more streamlined approach. Google Tag Manager simplifies the process of managing tags without constantly editing code.

Step 2: Setting Up Tags in Google Tag Manager

For tracking conversions, create a ‘Generate Lead’ event in Google Tag Manager. This tag should fire when a potential customer reaches a conversion point, like a ‘Thank You’ page after signing up. Configure the tag with the ‘Generate Lead’ event name and set the necessary parameters. Remember to use GA4’s configuration tag as a reference.

Step 3: Verifying Tag Installation

Use tools like Google Tag Assistant to confirm that your tags are firing correctly on your website. This verification ensures that your setup is correct and data is being sent to GA4.

Creating UTM Parameters for Facebook Ads

When setting up a Facebook ad, you’ll have the option to build URL parameters. These parameters should include UTM source, medium, campaign, and content. You can use dynamic parameters to automatically fill in these fields based on your campaign’s details. This setup ensures that each click on your ad carries the specific UTMs with GA4 tracking them.

Example of UTM Parameters Structure:

  • UTM Source: [Campaign Name]
  • UTM Medium: [Ad Set Name]
  • UTM Campaign: [Traffic Source]
  • UTM Content: [Ad Name]

Analyzing Data in GA4

With UTM parameters set, you can dive into GA4’s ‘User Acquisition’ and ‘Traffic Acquisition’ reports to analyze your data. These reports will show you the performance of your campaigns based on the UTM parameters you’ve set. You can see which campaigns, ad sets, or individual ads are driving traffic, conversions, and sales.

The Importance of Accuratly Tagging UTM Parameters

Accurate UTMs with GA4 tagging is crucial for understanding the ROI of your advertising efforts. Incorrect or inconsistent tagging can lead to misleading data, making it challenging to ascertain the effectiveness of your campaigns.

Conclusion

Setting up UTMs with GA4 for tracking Facebook ads is a powerful way to gain insights into your marketing campaigns. By following the steps outlined above, you can ensure accurate tracking and make data-driven decisions to optimize your advertising efforts.

Introduction To AI Automation Agency

In an era where artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing industries, the opportunity to build an AI Automation Agency with zero initial investment in 2024, is not just a possibility but a lucrative venture. Whether you’re an existing agency owner, a 9-to-5 employee looking for a side hustle, or someone aiming to dive into the AI industry, this guide will help you through the essential steps to establish your own AI Automation Agency.

Understanding the Market Potential

AI is not just a trend; it’s a transformative force set to disrupt numerous industries by automating complex tasks and offering significant cost savings to clients. Recognizing the potential of AI is the first step in capitalizing on this opportunity. The key is to simplify the approach, unlike other business models like drop shipping or SEO agencies that involve numerous complexities.

 

Leveraging Existing Assets For AI Automation Agency

The core strategy in starting your AI Automation Agency involves leveraging other businesses’ assets, particularly their customer databases. Consider a local roofing company as an example. They may have thousands of leads accumulated over years but lack the marketing expertise to effectively utilize this database. Here lies your opportunity: propose a partnership where you use AI to re-engage their old leads, and in return, share the profits from any successful transactions.

The Approach: Reactivating Dormant Leads

A method pioneered by Dean Jackson involved re-engaging old leads with simple yet effective emails. With the advent of AI, this process can be significantly optimized. AI can automate the engagement with these leads, qualifying them and scheduling appointments, all while reducing the manpower and time previously required.

The Role of AI Automation

AI can transform dormant databases into active leads. By utilizing tools like HighLevel CRM software that integrates with OpenAI and ChatGPT, you can automate the process of sending messages and managing responses. This not only streamlines the process but also does so at a fraction of the traditional cost.

Starting an AI Automation Agency with Minimal Costs

Starting this agency doesn’t require heavy upfront investment. You don’t need a website initially, and there’s no need for extensive setup costs or ad spending. The primary task is to identify businesses with a substantial database and propose a mutually beneficial collaboration.

Using the Right Tools

For the AI element, software like HighLevel is essential. Though it has a monthly cost, there are often trial periods (like a 30-day free trial) that allow you to test the waters before fully committing financially. Additionally, free resources and challenges, like the “1K per week using ChatGPT with client databases” challenge, provide valuable insights and step-by-step guides to set up your AI agency.

Selecting Niches and Landing Clients For Your AI Automation Agency

When selecting niches, it’s crucial to identify industries that benefit most from this model. The training also covers client acquisition strategies, including cold outreach and referrals, without relying on paid ads.

Conclusion

The AI revolution presents a golden opportunity to start an AI Automation Agency with zero initial investment in 2024. By leveraging AI to reactivate dormant leads in existing business databases, you can create a profitable agency that benefits both you and your clients. Remember, in the world of AI, understanding the technology and its application is key to success.

Re-Engage Leads (e.g Life Insurance) & Reactivate Databases with ChatGPT & The Power Of AI

In today’s digitized world, businesses constantly seek innovative strategies to re-engage their existing leads. Especially in the life insurance industry, maintaining a connection with leads that might’ve lost interest or been distracted is crucial. Dan from Flexxable is employing AI-driven strategies to reactivate life insurance leads (such as database reactivation), and the results might just revolutionize the way leads are nurtured.

Why Database Reactivation is Essential To Re-Engage Leads

To begin with, it’s important to understand the goldmine that is a pre-existing database. A company that has accumulated leads over time has a trove of potential clients and has huge potential to re-engage leads. This particular life insurance client Dan mentions, for instance, has a vast database of 13,000 leads specifically for their product, and a whopping 280,000 leads for related products. The challenge? To convert those life insurance leads into health insurance prospects.

 

The Power of Testing… to Re-Engage Leads

Before diving deep, it’s wise to test the waters. Dan suggests beginning with a small test segment for database reactivation, before rolling out full-fledged campaigns. This helps in setting realistic expectations for the client and avoids over-promising. By starting with a test, businesses can gauge the potential success of a larger campaign and make adjustments as necessary.

AI as a Game-Changer

Enter Artificial Intelligence. Database reactivation has been around for a long time, but the real game-changer is the inclusion of AI & ChatGPT. Gone are the days when manpower constraints limited campaign frequency. With AI, businesses can run numerous campaigns concurrently, increasing efficiency, and maximizing potential engagement.

Crafting the Perfect Hook To Re-Engage Leads

While the tech intricacies play a pivotal role, the success of re-engaging leads heavily relies on the initial message. Dan, using the “end word email” approach, introduces the transition from life insurance to health insurance. By using binary questions, the leads are nurtured, ensuring approximately 20% of engagement. So, if you’re targeting 15,000 leads, you can anticipate an impressive 3,000 conversations. 

Lead Qualification and Closure

Following the initial hook, AI bots are employed to further qualify these leads. By asking relevant questions tailored to the life insurance sector, businesses can ensure that by the time the lead reaches the sales team, they’re well-informed and are more likely to convert. Unlike the cold leads generated from platforms like Facebook or Google, these re-engaged leads have already expressed interest, making the sales process more streamlined and effective.

Anticipated Results

With this strategic approach, the returns can be substantial. For instance, if 3,000 responses are garnered, even a conservative 5% conversion can result in 150 sales. For many companies, the revenue from these sales could be substantial, potentially covering a significant portion of operational costs or salaries.

Continuous Iteration and Feedback

Before automating the entire process, Dan emphasizes the significance of manual checks. By sending a few SMS messages manually, businesses can assess the responsiveness of their messages, adjust their strategies accordingly, and maximize their chances of success.

In conclusion, the fusion of AI with traditional re-engagement methods is paving the way for transformative results in nurturing life insurance leads. With targeted strategies, businesses can not only reactivate dormant leads but can also significantly boost their conversion rates.

The Ultimate Guide to A2P Verification: Getting Verified Quickly Inside High-Level

The world of A2P (Application to Person) messaging is rapidly changing with new A2P 10DLC regulations. As businesses and marketers, understanding these changes is crucial, especially when it involves client communication.

What is A2P 10DLC?

A2P stands for “Application to Person”. It’s a system where applications (like HighLevel, Twilio, Text Magic, and others) send messages to real persons. Think about the text notifications you get from businesses or promotional campaigns. That’s A2P in action.

But why is this important? Because it directly affects how businesses in the US (and Canada) communicate with their clients. If you don’t comply with A2P regulation, and neither does your client, sending SMS on their behalf can become a significant challenge. This becomes especially problematic for campaigns involving database reactivation or speed-to-lead services.

 

Understanding A2P Regulation

The A2P regulation has two main components:

  1. Brand Regulation: This involves putting in all your company details to verify that you’re a legitimate business sending out messages.
  2. Campaign Registration: This part requires businesses to register the type of messages they’ll be sending out. This system aims to improve the overall quality of SMS marketing by ensuring transparency and preventing spam.

This detailed guide on A2P messaging provides further insights into the intricacies of the system. 

Steps to Achieve A2P Verification in High-Level:

  1. Business Profile Completion: Ensure your business profile is filled correctly, including the physical address, legal business name (as it appears in official registries like the UK’s Companies House), business email, phone, and website.
  2. Business Information: Identify the nature of your business, industry, and the business registration ID type (e.g., EIN from the US, Great Britain company number, etc.).
  3. Phone Numbers: If you don’t already have a US number in High-Level, you’ll need to add one.
  4. Trust Center: This section opens up the A2P messaging part where you can start the brand and campaign registration process.

Tips for a Smooth A2P Verification Process:

  • Ensure your legal business name matches the official registries for your country.
  • You don’t necessarily need a US address. For instance, a UK business can use their UK address and business registration number.
  • When registering, ensure you choose the right volume for your messaging, be it low, medium, or high. Also, ensure you give accurate descriptions and sample messages for the campaign.
  • If you want to see the types of messages we got approved in our A2P campaign, then please check out the 6:00 minute mark in the above video.

Conclusion

A2P 10DLC is no longer a choice but a necessity for businesses wishing to engage in SMS marketing within the US and Canada. With platforms like High-Level making the verification process streamlined, there’s no reason not to get onboarded quickly.

For those looking to deep dive into the world of A2P and its regulations, subscribing to dedicated channels and tutorials can be a great start. As always, the key is to remain informed, adaptive, and proactive in embracing these industry shifts.
