    ❌5 deadly startup mistakes you're making right now...

    Every day your product isn't live, you're burning cash you'll never get back. Here are the five deadly mistakes that nearly killed my startup – and could be killing yours right now. Mistake #1: Ignoring video as an option Technical founders love to write code. But your customers love to watch videos. Every visitor hitting your text-heavy landing page is a missed opportunity. Think about your own behavior – when was the last time you read a wall of text instead of watching a quick product demo? Your beautifully designed landing page will never convert as well as a clear video showing your solution in action. Mistake #2: Not knowing what you actually sell This one is gonna hurt. You've built an AI-powered platform that does a thousand amazing things. But when someone asks you what problem it solves, you freeze. You've got visitors, maybe even hundreds per day, but no one's pulling out their credit card. Why? Because unclear problems lead to unclear messaging. And unclear messaging sends potential customers running for the exit. Mistake #3: Feature Overload We all want to offer massive value. But here's the brutal truth: every feature you add is another chance for doubt to creep in. "Do I need this? Will I ever use that?" The more features you list, the more questions arise. And questions kill conversions. Remember this: If you confuse, you lose. And by lose, I mean your customer's credit card stays firmly in their pocket. Mistake #4: The Super Bowl Commercial Trap Big companies like Apple and McDonald's can end their ads with just a logo. Why? Because they've spent billions on brand recognition. You haven't. Your fancy product video might look amazing, but ending it with just your startup's logo is a conversion killer. You're not Apple – you need to hold your customer's hand all the way to checkout. Every step, every click, every decision point needs to be crystal clear. Mistake #5: The Founder's Ego (or something much worse) This is the hardest pill to swallow. All the previous mistakes? They usually trace back to one source: the founder. It shows up as "I know what's best for customers" or perfectionism that delays shipping. It's the voice that says your first version needs ten more features before launch. It's the instinct to make things flashier instead of clearer. The $100,000 Lesson There's no magic formula for fixing the founder's ego. It requires honest self-reflection and a willingness to challenge your assumptions. But recognizing these five mistakes? That's your first step toward avoiding my $100,000 education. Your startup's success isn't about your coding skills, your feature list, or your slick marketing. It's about solving real problems for real people. Everything else is just expensive noise. This is a public episode.

  2. 22 Minutes of VSL Training That Made Us $1M in 10 Days

    22 Minutes of VSL Training That Made Us $1M in 10 Days

    Let me guess – you're running a startup, stretched thin, and your product videos aren't converting like they should. Don't worry, I've got your back. After creating over 200 product videos (including one that generated seven figures in a single month), I'm breaking down exactly what works and what doesn't. Why Most Product Videos Fail (And How to Fix It) Look, I'll be direct: most startup founders are doing it all wrong. They're starting with "Hey, what's up guys!" (nobody cares), waiting two minutes to reveal what they're actually selling (you've already lost 80% of your audience), and drowning their message in corporate buzzwords (stop it). The truth? You've got about 30 seconds to hook your viewer. That's it. If you're lucky, 50% of people will make it past that mark. So you need to come out swinging with a bold, specific claim that speaks directly to their pain points and hints at your solution. The Million-Dollar Framework That Actually Works Here's the deal: great product videos follow a specific structure. Not because we're trying to be formulaic, but because this shit actually works: * Hook them with a specific problem they're facing * Agitate that problem (yeah, twist the knife a bit) * Present your solution as the inevitable answer * Back it up with proof (real numbers, not fluff) * Make the offer irresistible But here's what most people miss: you need to build tension before you present your solution. Take them down into the valley of pain before you show them the mountaintop. If you rush straight to your product demo, you've lost them. The Demo Sweet Spot (Stop Boring People to Death) Let's talk about demos because this is where most founders completely blow it. They think they need to show every single feature because "people need to understand the full value." They don't. Here's what actually works: * Keep demos under 90 seconds * Focus on 3-4 key features (put your best one first) * Show the end result, not the process * Use specific numbers and metrics * Tie every feature back to a core problem Remember this: a feature without a core problem is a useless feature. If you can't connect it directly to the pain points you discussed earlier, cut it. Production Quality: The Truth About What Matters I used to tell people equipment doesn't matter. I was wrong. If you're running serious ads or putting this on your homepage, invest in quality gear. But here's the hierarchy of what actually matters: * Audio is non-negotiable (spend at least $50 on a mic) * Lighting needs to be professional (basic setup is fine, but no window light) * Camera quality matters (rent if you have to) * Background should be simple but professional (no virtual backgrounds, please) And for God's sake, use a teleprompter. You need every word to be intentional, and winging it isn't going to cut it. The Launch Sequence That Drives Sales Here's something most people miss: your video launch should not be a surprise. You're not Apple – you can't just drop something and expect the world to care. Build tension and anticipation: * Tease the release 2 weeks out * Share snippets and behind-the-scenes content * Have your support team ready * Optimize your landing page * Monitor feedback and be ready to adjust Real Talk: Final Tips That Move the Needle Let's wrap this up with some quick advice that actually matters: * Test your first 30 seconds with cold traffic * Don't ask non-customers for feedback (sorry, but your girlfriend's opinion doesn't matter unless she's your target market) * High-ticket sales need longer storytelling, low-ticket needs faster pacing * Give viewers a new reason to keep watching every 90 seconds * Your demo should kill objections before they even form Remember: if they don't watch the video, they don't understand the product. If they don't understand the product, they won't buy. Everything else is just noise. This is a public episode.

  3. I Analyzed 200 Product Videos (Found This $100K Mistake)

    I Analyzed 200 Product Videos (Found This $100K Mistake)

    After analyzing over 200 product videos and consistently hitting 4-6% conversion rates, here's the brutal truth: You're probably killing sales in the first 8 seconds of your video. You have 8 seconds to reel them in Your potential customers have already decided whether they'll buy your product within the first 8 seconds. Not after your feature list. Not after your UI demo. The first 8 seconds. And here's what most companies get wrong: They start with their company story, their technical features, or worse – a lengthy explanation of how their product works. Too many features = too many lost sales Every feature you show actually decreases the likelihood of a sale. Why? Because each new feature creates doubt: * "Will I actually use this?" * "Do I need this?" * "Is this worth the money?" Instead of showcasing every feature, focus on your top 3-4 "wow" moments. The ones that make customers say, "I need this now." The Transformation Framework Elite product videos follow a simple but powerful structure: * The Mess – Show their current pain vividly * The Disruption – Make the status quo feel impossible * The New Reality – Show who they become, not what they get Simple UI vs. Actual “True-to-Life” UI? Here's a counterintuitive truth: Simplified UIs convert better than realistic ones. While designers might cringe, clean, simplified interfaces drive more sales than pixel-perfect reproductions. Why? Because cognitive load kills conversions. When screens are flying by, simplicity maintains focus on value, not mechanics. You are not making a help tutorial video Stop teaching. Start selling. Instead of: "Click here to analyze your data" Show: "Get instant insights that drive revenue" What actually works * Start with emotion – Hook them in 8 seconds * Show the mess – Make their current situation painful * Lead with impact – Best features first * Simplify everything – UI, explanations, features * End with transformation – Who they become, not what they get Tap into your customer’s brain People buy on emotion and justify with logic. Your video needs to: * Trigger emotion (usually pain or desire) * Show transformation * Provide logical justification * Remove purchase friction This is a public episode.

    The EASY Way to Fix Cart Abandonment (for SaaS Startups)

    Hey my friend, It's Jordan P. Anderson. Watch on YouTube👉 ​LINK​ The Most Expensive Button On Your Website... Let’s talk about that little back arrow at the top left of your checkout page. It’s not your pricing page that’s costing you money. It’s not your contact sales button. It’s that innocent-looking back button. Why Cart Abandonment Isn’t What You Think When someone starts your signup flow, they’ve already made several positive decisions: They found your solution. They read your features. They checked your pricing. They clicked “sign up.” They started entering information. That’s a series of “yes” decisions before they hit that back button. The Four Types of Cart Abandonment Here’s what’s actually happening when people leave your checkout: Type 1: The Interruption They got pulled into a meeting. Their kid needed attention. Their phone rang. They fully intended to come back, but they forgot. Type 2: The Hesitation They hit a form field they weren’t prepared for. Maybe you asked for company size. Maybe you asked for budget information they need to check. Type 3: The Internal Approval They need to run this by their team or their boss. They’re actually your champion, but they need help selling it internally. Type 4: The Comparison Shopper They’re seriously considering you, but they want to check one or two other options first. Why Most Recovery Attempts Fail Most founders handle cart abandonment wrong. They either: 1. Give up completely 2. Start discounting immediately Both approaches miss the point entirely. A Different Approach to Recovery These people have already convinced themselves they need your solution. Your job isn’t to resell them. It’s to help them finish what they started. I’ve put together a complete video breaking down the exact system that brings these customers back: Watch on YouTube👉 ​LINK​ What You’ll Learn In this video, I break down: * The exact timing window for recovery * Why the first 60 minutes matter most * How to handle each type of abandonment * The email sequence that brings them back * How to track what’s working The Core Principle Here’s what makes this whole system work: People who abandon cart haven’t changed their mind. They just got interrupted. Understanding this changes everything about how you handle recovery. Watch the video. Implement the system. And start helping your customers finish what they started.

    The REAL reason you have no sales...

    Hey friends - it’s Jordan P. Anderson, There is ONE part of the customer equation that you haven’t figured out. Your customers love you. They love your site. You have traffic. But no buyers…? Two words: Your checkout Your checkout page is killing your sales: What You'll Learn: * The only 4 form fields proven to convert cold traffic * Every payment method your first customers’ demand * Specific trust triggers that open wallets * Post-purchase steps that eliminate buyer fear * Psychology that turns visitors into customers 🔧 STRIP IT DOWN Most startup checkout pages ask for 15+ fields of information. You need four: email, email confirmation, name, and phone. That’s it. Every extra field costs you money. Every dropdown menu kills conversions. Every optional section makes people bounce. I learned this the hard way after hundreds of failed checkouts. 💳 STACK YOUR PAYMENTS Your early customers each have their preferred way to pay. Some need PayPal. Others demand buy-now-pay-later options. Missing even one payment method means losing potential customers. Enable every payment options (Stripe, PayPal, Apple Pay, etc.) 🛡️ BUILD INSTANT TRUST Cold traffic needs immediate trust signals. Put your "Secured by Stripe" badge above the fold. Make your guarantee specific and prominent. Show them exactly when support responds. Hell- put your phone number on the site - like me. ⚡ KILL THE FRICTION Your checkout page should be a dead-end. Your customers should have only two options: pay or leave. Remove your header. Delete your footer. Strip every link that leads away from checkout. When someone's ready to buy, give them one path forward. 🎯 SHOW THE FUTURE Your potential customers fear what happens after purchase. Show them the exact steps: * Complete purchase * Instant dashboard access * Welcome email with login * Optional onboarding call Put these into action… Copy what works. Don’t “innovate”. Get your first sales. Reply and tell me which element you're implementing first. I read every email. Cheers, Jordan P. Anderson P.S.
