SYS 121: The Quick and Easy Guide to Ethically Recreating Top Influencers' Marketing Funnels Using AI Tools (and a few cool tricks!)
🎙 Steve describes a process that anyone can use, including your Virtual Assistant, to allow you to emulate any marketing funnel, including any webpage, email and copywriting, without needing any technical or marketing expertise. It combines some cheeky tricks to simulate your favourite influencer’s methods, utilising groundbreaking, clever AI tools.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
💡 Capture an entire landing page as a PDF using a browser plug-in called GoFullPage, allowing you to zoom in and out effectively and copy and paste the text.
💡 Use a diagramming tool like Lucidchart to map your entire marketing funnel.
💡 Differentiate the email in the funnel from your standard email. This allows you to set up a filter to separate those emails so you can capture all the details on your diagramming tool.
💡 Once you have a detailed map of the marketing funnel you chose to emulate, you can place the content of the web pages via 10Web into a WordPress document. You need to edit the links manually, but most happen automatically.
💡 Rewrite all written structures and frameworks using an app like Wordtune and use AI to restructure all the material. Make sure to update images and copyrighted materials and add your own.

SYS 119: Streamlining Video Editing: Our Experience Using an AI Video Editing App for Short Clips
🎙 Steve shares his experience using an AI video editing app to repurpose his long-form podcast videos on Instagram, TikTok, Reels and other social media. Find out how Vidyo.ai fared when maximising the use of recorded media to create short clips.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
💡 It has traditionally taken quite a lot of manual editing time to chop up a long video into usable short clips.
💡 Short clips are required for apps like TikTok and Reels as the run time permitted is curtailed to short 1 to 2-minute videos.
💡 Currently, Steve uses Descript, an all-in-one video and podcast editing app that allows video editing via transcribed and edited text.
💡 Using Vidyo.ai, Steve and his team learned that it cuts out individual talking points from a long-form video which can't be used as stand-alone short clips.
💡 With a large amount of uploading and downloading required, plus the time to quality control the clips, Vidyo.ai did not provide a time or quality benefit over Descript.
💡 The key lesson learned is that as a business owner, do not waste time testing new apps and processes yourself. Instead, delegate the testing to the staff member responsible for that task.
BEST MOMENTS
1:43 - 💬 ‘We looked at Vidyo.ai as an alternative to hopefully speed up the whole process of editing and creating short clips and use artificial intelligence to do all the hard work for us.’
05:59 - 💬 ‘Vidyo.ai produced stuff that was possibly useable, but it wasn't really at the standard we want it to be.’
09:58 - 💬 ‘If you're going to test new apps, don't waste your time. If this is to improve an existing process, get the person currently doing it to do the testing for you and get them to come back to you and provide feedback with a report. In that way, you're not wasting your time trying out an app you may never use.’
11:37 - 💬 ‘Don't get sucked in by all the hype about all the AI stuff. I'm not saying there's no place for AI apps doing amazing things, and we're using it now to help us to craft blog posts based on our episodes. So we're using it cleverly to save huge amounts of time and reduce our costs.’
12:03 - 💬 ‘Don't think that every AI app will solve every problem; be sure you test things before spending time and money into rolling them out.’
