PLEASE GIVE YOUR FEEDBACK BASED ON THE BELOW TEXT BEING A
LONG FORM STORY OFFER FB POST
Instead of being bombarded by non-stop promotional messages, people want to form real, human connection.
Just like you, your facebook friends are tired of being sold to. What they actually want, and what you need to give them first, especially if you dont want to be paying for facebook ads, is that kind of social "get to know you better" connection that forms the Know, Like and Trust bond.
You know, the kind of conversations people used to have in person back in the day when we had a genuine interest in getting to know someone first!
But most of us will never get that authentic connection we actually crave, because we've become obsessed with putting on a 'show' when we're on facebook.
Maybe we're just too scared to talk about anything other than what makes us look good in our professional lives - afraid we'll miss an opportunity to turn one of our viewers into a potential customer.
In the meantime, that basic human level connection we all need IN ORDER TO KNOW, LIKE AND TRUST SOMEONE isn't happening.
Since we're not making that social connection, our Non-Stop promotional agendas are actually pushing away the sales.

Since we're not making that social connection, our Non-Stop promotional agendas are actually pushing away the sales.
And what's worse is when people are not being straight up about what their agendas are when they hit us up in our inboxes, right? Everyones got an agenda so either be straight up about it or don't say anything at all...
Look, if you've got an idea of some sort that you're not entirely clear about, and you could authentically use community support around that idea, the best place to start is your facebook friends...
BUT the messaging has to be done a certain way so that your messages feel more SOCIAL, and DONT sound or feel even the slight bit salesy and could be perceived as spam.
THIS IS WHERE WE NEED TO FIND WORDS That people who dont know Landmark Education would understand.
In landmark's Self Expression Leadership Program, every week of that 12 week course, participants are allowed to make community requests.
Its been so many years that I dont remember what the rules and structure is for making the request, other than I know the community requests were never about "give me money" or "who do you know that could give me money".
It was an awesome space and clearing for people to feel safe and empowered to making requests publically to the group.
We would have to literally stand up and make the request.
Below is an example of what im talking about by letting you see the first broadcast message Scott ever created with an automation software went out to less than 500 of my Facebook friends, and which resulted in 70 people scheduling zoom appointments with me in a 2 month period with 55 of those appointments being scheduled for the month of May 2021 alone.
HERE IS A VERSION OF THAT MESSAGE
"Hi Stephen , Sameena has experienced many losses during covid but none so devastating as the one I am witnessing her go through this week, which is the drastic deterioration of her grandmother’s health and who could die any time now.
Knowing Sameena well over the years, she is thinking and feeling like this kind of pain will never really end – How will life ever go back to normal for her without the presence of her grandmother physically in her life, who she would enjoy to go visit every week at the nursing home?
She just cannot imagine that. Sameena’s situation has prompted me to reach out to you - and other people she does and does not know all that well - with a request that you be open to the possibility of spending 30 minutes of face to face time over zoom with Sameena should she wish to do so?
I am asking you this because I know how much sameena would benefit right now from daily human connection with a different person each day because of how I saw a similar structure help her back in 2017 when all those strangers came in to our studio, to have a conversation with Sameena while that conversation was multi-camera streamed live on her guests facebook timeline.
Now to be clear, if you say yes to my request, the conversation won’t be streamed. I just know that when sameena got severely depressed after losing her ability to ever practice again as a social worker back in 2017, she was brought back to life because of having face to face conversations with a different person every single day (and back then all those people who came in to see sameena had never met her before).
If I don’t hear back from you, please know that I completely understand AND if you would like me to send you a link to sameena’s zoom calendar please simply type back the word YES and I will get it over to you within 24 hours.
And just so you are aware, Sameena does not know that I have sent you this message but she has given me permission to monitor her fb account right now while she focuses on supporting her mother who is even more devastated than she is."

So why did I just share that completely self-centred and personal message of mine about my grandmother which has nothing to do with you?
Because it has everything to do with what this offer is about and what it's not.
When 1111 got it's message out through our multicamera Facebook Live in person streaming with me as your host, the number 1 benefit reported was that,
"deeper connections and more opportunities seemingly falling into people's laps" compared to anything else they'd ever done on facebook"
And Why's That??
Because of what I already said that's obvious, just like you, your facebook friends feel there are already too many unwelcomed messages coming into our inboxes from strangers!
Just like you, they dont want to be part of the problem.
They dont want sales messages coming in from their facebook friends any more than you do.
As long as you dont ask them for money or it feels or smells in anyway to them, like your goal is to somehow get money from them, and you are sensitve to how much you hate strangers asking you questions in your inbox, you're in the vicinity.
Please bear with me now as I tell you a story about how we do messaging differently for these kinds of people.
But first, just to be clear, Scott and I are not in the automation business, we use an automation tool as a vehicle, particularly in this offer as we had to adapt and find another way to help people when there was no more live streaming, which you will read about below.
The best way to describe what we do, is coaching, consulting and implementation where Scott is the consultant, that strategist who comes up with all the great ideas that is custom to the individual, and I help to implement either with or for the person, take Scott's ideas and plan and execute it, put it into motion. I am more of the doer and the worker, and Scott is the 'thinker' in our partnership.
The very first multi-camera Facebook live streaming studio in Canada was created by Scott Gallagher for me on April 4th 2017, in response to me confessing to him, during one of my weekly probono intervention sessions with him, that I wanted to end my life.
Scott's also the guy who came up with the idea for a very unusual facebook live "show" called 1111 TV (www.ElevenEleven.TV).
1111 platform had a very unusal format, and it was unusual because it was custom created around me based on Scott listening to me. My first episode "coincidentally" took place on the 111th day of the calendar (April 21st) which also happens to be my moms birthday.
Scott created all the ghost writen manual messages for me, which personally invited my fb friends whom I had no idea who they were to be a guest with me on my show.
This was a couple years before the technology existed for organic automated facebook messenger marketing, which is really kind of the same as an email broadcast or campaign, but its done through messenger instead of gmail.
Think about this. Scott is given the idea for doing multi camera fb lives minutes after I tell him I want to end my life, April 4th 2017.
Within one year of that date, April 4th 2018, Scott's manual messenger marketing to my fb friends all of which I had never met, caused 300 people to come in person to have a conversation with me that wold be broadcasted live from the studio Scott built for me and Scott anonymously in the background handling all the technical stuff including switching the 3 camera's while I was live with a guest.
Even though Scott did create a facebook page for 1111, instead of being broadcasted on my personal timeline, page or group, to promote me, the 1111 conversations I had with my guest were always streamed on the personal timeline of my guests to give the most value possible for the guest even though 1111 was not only free, we would not accept gifts or donations in exchange for being on 1111.
And because it was free, Scott created a number of radical non-negotiable rules each guest had to agree to before they showed up.
Let's start with the format for the 1111 show, which, by the way is the exact same format Scott taught me to incorporate when doing automated messages for myself or my clients.
There was one major controversial format for the show. Neither myself or my guests were allowed to talk about, either directly or indirectly, what we did to make money, what we were an expert in, and no promotion of any kind.
Even though I was the original host, I had to follow the same rules as my guest, which meant I could not talk about Scott Gallagher, because doing so would be indirectly promoting Scott and would therefore be a violation of the format.
That, by the way is the unselfishness of this man. When my guests which Scott Gallagher got for me by ghost writing personal invitations and manually sending them my fb friends while I was so depressed.
Scott makes sure my guests never meet him because Scott wanted me to get all the attention at the time.
And to this day (unless they are reading these words right now) never knew that all those messages going back and forth between myself and them which ultimately had them come and meet me in person, never knew all the messages were ghost written by Scott.
Before automation software tools existed for PERSONAL facebook accounts, Scott taught me how to manually invite strangers to be studio guests of mine using facebook messenger.. These strangers never knew Me, nor did I know them. I had never met, never spoken to, would never know their name or recognize their face even if i was sitting accross the table from them, yet they were my facebook "friends".
Look, it doesnt matter what automation tool you use to broadcast messages into your facebook "friends" inboxes, especially when, for those of us smaller guys trying to use facebook to build our businesses, if we're honest with ourselves, most of our connections are more accurately FAKE FACEBOOK FRIENDS, meaning these people aren't even close to being real friends of ours, let alone real connections.
Bottom line is this, while everyone else is advising their clients that they need properly written landing pages, funnels, ads, perfect offers, I know there are exceptions to this rule because I'm one of those exceptions.
When Scott knew how much I resisted sales, marketing and asking for money, instead of telling me, I need to invest time and money in getting knowledgeable in these areas, and then maybe one day down the road, like years away, I might get good, he took me in a different direction, the path of least resistance, that required least effort and was more enjoyable.
That's why Scott made certain the entire design of 1111 as well as the shows format could not have conversations related to the things I disliked most about being a business ower, asking for money, promotion or selling.
I really believe I am living proof that anybody can succeed as an entrepreneur if they really want to, and if they get the right guidance and support to find the right way for us that doesnt have us loosing our freedom from the get go by the very fact that we find any aspect of operating our businesses to be hard, like suffering and not enjoying every aspect of our work.
- You have taken the courses, gone through the trainings, read all the right books, even tried putting some of what you learned in action,
- BUT whatever you tried, nothing worked, AND this style of marketing is just not YOU, and your spirit knows it. It is not that it's wrong, IT JUST IS NOT THE NATURAL YOU.
- Don't have a specific passion project? That's okay, we can help you with that as well - find one that's already there inside you, and just couldn't see it.
- You just can't see it, but we'll help bring it to life, and get attention and possibly even community support on it the same day you meet with us and I work for you.
And its all for free for a limited time for the first 15 people just like the original passion projects debut in April of 2017 where we got 15 guests to show up in our studio that very same month!
You want fresh and new eyes on your passion project?
You want to find a different way of getting Attention And Visibility
The real magic of this new broadcast messaging style is that by avoiding the agendas you always thought you had to push, you will actually bring your Facebook Followers closer to you.
you see the fundamentals have not changed.

Liz's Story
"Before I met Scott and Sameena, I felt like I was treading water, barely able to keep my head above the surface. I was unhappy and scattered, torn between what I wanted and what I felt I should be doing - what I desired and deserved.
I was being pulled in different directions by family, work, and even myself.
I was an emotional wreck, pretending to be happy but privately crying every day. I was like a robot, floating through life on auto-pilot because there was no time to do anything that gave me joy. What I wanted wasn’t responsible, I told myself, it was frivolous, and I felt guilty just thinking about it.
Then a friend of mine posted something on social media that intrigued me. It sounded like a great opportunity to showcase my business, and to share my enjoyment of art - the enjoyment I wanted to have; the joy I once felt before it became necessary for the art to support itself, which I had failed at.
I conducted my very first intuitive painting workshop with a guided meditation for entrepreneurs to connect with their vision and business at its core. It was magical."

Richard's Story
"Before I met Scott, I was going nowhere. My life was scattered, and so were my thoughts. I had no direction and didn’t know how to begin to find one.
Things seemed very hopeless for me. I was destitute and motivated but didn’t know how to leverage and execute my passion - helping people and families going through the battles of addiction. But I just didn’t seem to have the mindset required to both do the work I love and make it financially profitable.
I had reached out to Scott after finding out he was allowing fifteen people to try Passion Projects for free for one month as part of the program’s launch. I was very honored to be the first of those fifteen guests!
Before coming on Passion Projects, I put together a list of questions as long as the Great Wall of China, a list that was as long as I was desperate. I knew I had to try something different. (There really is “nowhere to go but up” when you’re in the gutter.) I needed to know how I could make the most of my business, but I was mentally scattered and confused. I had some vague ideas I wanted to put into action, but had no idea how to go about it.
Scott helped me see the truth of what was blocking me from living a prosperous and abundant life. His consultation clarified the direction my Passion Projects episode would take. I was hopeful and excited, but that old me still set my sights too low. I thought maybe I’d be able to pay my rent without panic for a change, or go out to dinner once or twice a month.
The results were off the charts – over 3000 views - and I had less than 800 Facebook friends! People were offering to give donations, and requests were coming in by the dozens to buy my books - the books I had always given away for free!
I have endless opportunities coming my way. The inspiration I feel is still as strong as it was the first time I met with Scott."
