The secret formula behind a $750,000-a-year online business that runs on autopilot – Brett McFall
Today he's known more for his internet marketing businesses and his ability to
teach internet marketing in an easy-to-understand way. Brett has many simple
internet businesses that generate over $750,000 a year from home.
And it came to a point where they would just say “You seem to be so good at what
you’re doing, can you just write the advertising for us?” and that’s when I started my
income on the side.
These clients were putting $5,000 to $10,000 a week into my account because I was
producing fairly amazing results for them. I was the first copywriter in Australia to
have a money back guarantee on the advertising I wrote, and that was ground
breaking at the time.
So it wasn’t a hard transition to move from working for a company to working on my
own in the copywriting field. I’d always had the idea, but it took at least 5 years to get
up the courage to do it.
I was learning the internet while doing my stuff writing for clients, I got my own
website up and people started to subscribe to my newsletter, I was getting top 10
rankings on Google. It was easy to get rankings back then. In Yahoo, I was number
one with everything and then shortly after on Google I went to number one.
As I started to get good results people started to ask me, “Well how are you doing it,
and can you show us?” and that’s how I developed my teaching skills.
I then met a man who was running internet marketing seminars in the USA and I said
to him, “We should bring that concept to Australia.” He agreed, and we did. The first
event was completely sold out. Together with my business partner here in Australia,
Tom Hua, I was the first to bring internet marketing training to Australia.
It was a revolution that happened early 2003 that changed the seminar industry
forever – including how they were run and how the business model worked.
By this time I was selling a lot of my own copywriting manuals and DVDs online, and
so my experience was becoming quite strong.
It is one thing to tell your customer how to do something or give them more than
everybody else. But another to tell them how to apply it and actively make it easy for
them to want to know all the other things that you know as well. It’s really creating
that relationship. Give till it hurts.
No matter what field you’re in, give your answers away to help your customers from
the very first experience with you.
And the reason is this - your customer suddenly feels, “Wow this is someone I
actually like dealing with because there’s no pressure here.”
There’s no pressure to buy in order to get what they really need, now they want to do
business with you even more because they can relax.
Instead of you having to sell yourself to them, they now want to become your
customer. It’s a completely different way of doing things.
I call it, “Reverse Marketing” – where the customer chooses to go with you, rather
than you having to convince them to come on board.
The marketing of any business can be so much easier if people follow that one
simple rule.
yourself, or you can buy the rights to somebody else’s digital products and sell those
from your site.
Either way, you have options. And people often say, “How can I possibly sell
products online if I don’t have any product ideas?”
That’s okay, you can find other products which have licenses that allow you to sell
their product at your site – and YOU keep all the money. It’s a great way to start. Just
look up “resale rights” on your favourite search engine and you’ll a lot of websites
allowing you to buy the rights to ready-made digital products.
The third way to get yourself online is to sell your services.
Solicitors, dentists, hair dressers, all wonder, “How can I do it online? Do I really need
a website?” 48% businesses in Australia still don’t have a website. It’s crazy, they
need a website.
How do you do that? Simply educate your market. Give away your best secrets.
Create a website that allows you to contact people if they join your database by
giving you their name and email for instance, or by “liking” your Facebook page.
You can contact them with special offers or about coming in to your store. If you don’t
want to sell things from yourself, you can sell other people’s stuff. You can
recommend other people’s stuff and receive a commission.
So selling your services is totally doable online and very effective.
You create your business by recommending other people’s products. Just the same
way as “Flight Centre” recommends which flights to travel on, which hotels to stay at
and which tours to take, you can recommend other people’s products and services
too.
For instance, you can recommend my salesletter software. If the person you
recommend buys that software, you get 50 cents for every dollar I make (which is
$97 per sale).
There’s no reason you can’t set up a deal where you send people along to someone
else’s site and if they turn to a customer they give you between 10-75% of the sale
price. It’s called Affiliate Marketing.
If I can use this technique then it means that a brand new site is self-sufficient from
the first moment. I’ll explain the technique first and then I'll tell you where you can
take it after that.
The technique is called, Expired Domain Names.
You can buy expired domain names which previously were a website but for
whatever reason, that website has been removed, the person doesn’t run the website
anymore so the domain name which used to be the address for that website is now
available for sale.
So expired domain names often have what are called “back links” to them.
Sometimes hundreds of back links from other websites.
Not only does this help the domain name to rank on a search engine, but it usually
means those other sites are sending traffic to that domain name. Even if there’s
nothing on the website.
Which means that as soon as you put a webpage back underneath these expired
domain names, the web pages are instantly getting ranked on Google and Yahoo,
plus receiving automatic traffic from other sites which link to them.
So in a matter of days, you can start getting traffic. That’s one method I use for
getting instant free traffic.
And here’s one little tip: you need to be offering fresh content on the site - that is the
biggest principles on the Internet: you have to have fresh content.
Buy the domain name, put up a page, start adding fresh content. That is how you
respect Google and Yahoo because that’s exactly what they’re looking for.
The second question I ask is, “How can I get people to stay?”
I know hundreds of really good Internet marketers but I don’t find many who actually
pay close attention to getting people to stay on their site.
They get so excited about how much traffic they can run and bring to the website. But
how can you get people to stay? If they don’t stay, you basically have a lame duck,
and it’s not going to work long term.
I have techniques where I can keep people on the website for 5 minutes, 10 minutes,
15 minutes and more.
Now if you can’t answer those two questions, then there’s little point in launching your
business online.
You got to be able to get them to stay, and when they stay, have them take an action
of some sort: either they give you their name or email, or buy. Otherwise, you’re not
going to have a business long term or you won’t be able to get it off to the ground.
I often demonstrate this on stage where I call somebody up on stage and I’ll have a
tennis ball in my hand. I ask them, “Can you catch a tennis ball?”, and they will say,
“Absolutely, I can!”
Then I will tossed them the tennis ball on stage and they catch it.
But then I’ll say, “Now let me try this - I have 12 tennis balls here in a jar,” and now I
toss those all at once at the person who agreed to catch the tennis ball, and they do
their best to catch the 12 tennis balls.
The most that anybody has caught is 4 out of the 12, because it’s an extremely hard
thing to do.
What it really shows is the limitation of your brain. It’s virtually impossible to catch the
12 balls without an aid of some sort. Our brain just can’t deal with too many things at
once.
The point I’m making is to do things step by step, one at a time.
If you’re going to buy a course then buy one course, hold on to it, implement it then
don’t bother moving on to the next course until you’ve actually exhausted the first
course.
Many people have at 2-3 courses at home on various subjects, maybe more.
Chances are, they are all good. But if that course contains webinars, seminars,
DVDs, CDs, teleconferences, personal coaching, more live seminars, then that’s like
12 tennis balls being thrown at you.
There’s not a chance you’ll be able to implement them thoroughly. You have to
dedicate yourself to mastery. Implementing is really where it’s at.
If you’re not making money and you’re implementing all these strategies, there’s one
of two things wrong, either the strategy simply doesn’t work or you haven’t
implemented it properly- and that’s where I find a lot of people messing up.
Let me point out something here which you may not realize…
It’s hard to get the average person go to a website, download some software and
install that software on their computer.
That’s a three step process, yet it’s extremely hard to have an average person to
complete all these steps. They don’t read all the instructions, they think they know
what they are doing (most don’t) and it complicates the process.
So if the average person struggles with downloading some software to their
computer, how can we possibly think they are going to be able to go and implement a

You only have 2-4 weeks to actually take an action from a program before you lose
your momentum. In the first week, if something doesn’t work, you need to work out
whether it’s you or the strategy.
You have to be honest with yourself. If it’s you, get someone else to make it happen.
If it’s not you, then you take it up with that person who teaches you and get them to
do whatever they can to make sure that they show you or you get your money back.
So don’t sweat things, just get your money back or make it work.
Like any business, an online business has to be a priority in your life. And if it doesn’t
have priority in your life, then it is just a hobby to you.
And that’s okay if that’s what you want. Just don’t expect that business to produce
extraordinary results.
Ask them: How did you get to where you are? What did you do then? How did you do
this and that etc?
Just interview them and create an information product which you can sell to people
who have an interest in being successful on Facebook.
Suddenly you’ll have a product which follows a trend. There are literally hundres of
thousands of people who would love to own a product like that.
So for your average person, that’s what I would do if I had to start all over again. It’s
one way, but it’s not the only way.
There are hundreds of ways to make money on the internet. So no matter who you
are, if you want to start a business or be good at business on the Internet, you’ve got
to be able to take a gamble.
You have to be able to gamble at some stage, but you need to calculate your
gambles. That’s the difference between an entrepreneur and someone with an
ordinary job.
An entrepreneur is prepared to gamble on their ideas. So prepare to risk money and
prepare yourself that even then… it just might not work.
If you can handle the “worst case scenario” then you’re good to go.
Here’s the last thing I want to say - the internet is the cheapest place to fail. You
cannot lose your house by starting an internet business.
You can start a business for a few hundred bucks and that’s a worthwhile investment.
If you can devote 100% of your time to your business, it works.
You're the 'marketer' one day, 'product creator' the next; 'database manager' here,
and then 'technical problem solver' there.
It can be a real challenge to take on that responsibility. And what I realized was the
true cost of running your business like that.
You can certainly save money by doing all those tasks yourself. But it's unlikely that
you're great at all of them, and so then you need to ask yourself what it's costing to
be doing all of those tasks.
There's always a cost. You may think that the only real cost is worked out financially.
But there will be physical, mental and emotional costs too.
The secret formula behind a $750,000-a-year online business that runs on autopilot – Brett McFall
What good is all the money, if you don't have the balance in your life to enjoy
it?
So learning to delegate was the answer. In my view, money simply buys you time.
By realizing that time is the important commodity of all, then you can buy more of it,
by delegating. The better the delegation, the more time you get in return.
Now you might use that time to do extra work. Or you might just revel in the freedom
of having a choice to do whatever you want with the time.
But ultimately, if you're doing 'everything,' then you're going to be very time-poor. And
that can't be good for you, or the business.
It means you can design your business around giving great customer service, without
being loaded down.
I still have no employees working for me. What I do is optimize my use of technology
to a degree where the menial tasks of sending a welcome letter to a new customer,
or the processing of their credit card is all taken care of by technology.
The question I'm constantly asking myself is: Which of the tasks I'm doing today,
could be automated?
And if there's no software available to do it, then often I'll invest my money in
programmers to create that software. Everything from creating the marketing for my
company, placing the marketing, analysing the results and more.
But there's something else too. I said that I have no employees. What I do instead is
outsource roles to a handful of people. It's on a per-project basis, which keeps my
costs down too.
I designed my business to be one that I could turn on and turn off at the flick of a
switch. To generate income, all I have to do is flick the switch on some marketing and
the leads come in.
My websites convert those leads into sales. Software allows my customers to access
the product or service. And then my outsourced team can follow up on my customers
to see how they're going.
The secret formula behind a $750,000-a-year online business that runs on autopilot – Brett McFall
There are so many solutions out there it can be hard to know which option is the right
one to go with.
But what I found is that making a decision in some direction – any direction - is better
than not making a decision at all. You can always fix mistakes or fine tune processes
along the way.
When it comes to finding great people to outsource work to, I now look for those
people who are already ‘proactive.’
I found my best helper in my own forum – she was helping people out of the
goodness of her heart with answers to their questions.
So I contacted her and said “Hey do you think you could do that for me full time?”
Luckily, she did. And that person has been working for me for 7 years now.
When it comes to software, I know this: if you don’t enjoy using it, you won’t use it for
long. It has to be easy and enjoyable to use, or it doesn’t matter how good it is – you
simply will avoid using it.
So decide fast which software you’re going to use. No more than 30 days of testing,
then decide whether it’s in or out.
BRETT: I always aim to make things very simple. I don’t have employees but I do
outsource tasks. So it’s a matter of knowing what roles are required, and then finding
someone to fit that role, not the other way around.
The nature of business is that if you hire someone to do A, B and C, it’s only a matter
of time before D, E and F are also required.
The secret formula behind a $750,000-a-year online business that runs on autopilot – Brett McFall
So look for people who understand that although there is a clear role for them, it’s
highly like that the role will change and require more.
Many people thrive on this situation. Many don’t. So weed them out early – just like
bamboo, people who work for you need to be strong on task but flexible in their role.
BRETT: Because of the way I run my business, I delegate tasks. I don’t have
employees there beside me in the office every day.
I simply outsource a task. Which means the results are clearly spelled out before that
person does the task. If they complete that task well, then they get another one.
There’s no confusion.
I also monitor who provides the most solutions, over who brings the most drama. Two
different people can complete a task very differently. One does it without fuss.
Another brings the drama and negativity.
I prefer to work with “solution providers” because that’s what a business is there to do
– solve a problem.
We can all look at what’s not going right, who didn’t do what, and what someone said
that they shouldn’t have. It’s easy to focus on that stuff.
And I could certainly ramp that up. But it would mean I’d lose my current lifestyle.
BRETT: The thing is that people make things so complicated these days - with
sophisticated sales funnels... 20 different ways to share content on social media... the
"latest craze" marketing idea, and more.
The end result is that most business owners feel lost and very much left behind.
The internet is designed to make things easier for us. Faster for us.
What I see instead is business owners just doing more things in faster time - just
jamming more things in to their day. And never actually getting any extra freedom or
time. They're missing the point of what the internet has always promised - efficiency.
The question then is, what are you doing with your efficiency?
Or do you allow the internet to give you what most people want, but with very few
have - time and freedom to do as you please?
To me, if your business isn't allowing you to enjoy everyday life, then what's the
point?
Are you going to wait till the end of your career to "be happy?"
Or find a way to be happy everyday as the internet works for you, not you for it.
I used to work 6 days a week. Which mean, very little time for other things.
The bank account had more numbers in it. But I couldn't use those numbers on
anything special because I didn't have the time to enjoy it.
Today I plan my life the way that I want it. And the opportunities have to fit in with my
plan, not the other way around. I have days every week where I have nothing
planned.
But that's the plan - to have time and freedom. It's not to fill it up with more things
again.
It can be hard to say "no" when you don't have what most people would consider a
"decent excuse."
The secret formula behind a $750,000-a-year online business that runs on autopilot – Brett McFall
For me however, having time to spend how I want it, is the biggest and best reason
for being in business.
So saying "No, I won't take that opportunity on because I like my Thursdays and
Friday's to be free," is totally okay once you've agreed inside to be in charge of your
life.
And so to answer your question, I find that this sort of thinking is considered “crazy
and unorthodox.”
I have various brands of software that I use for this process, from
[Link] to [Link] - all are effective, and each has their
own strengths.
But ultimately they let me market to those people on auto-pilot, or broadcast to them
whenever I choose. It's the equivalent of having a marketing team working for you,
when in fact, it's software that you've created some content for, and then automated.
