Jos Aguiar
I’m live today with Vince Reno. Vince is an Internet Marketing Pro. He has worked with the likes of Jay Abraham worked with a heap of amazing people both in talking to them work with them and being behind the scenes driving a tonne of traffic. Scott, I’m super excited. So we’ll bring Vince run the show. Vince, a man, how are you, brother?

Vince Reed
I’m excited, man, thank you very much for having me. And anytime anyone allows, you know me to be shared with our audience. I don’t take that lightly. I know, it’s not easy to build an audience. So I truly appreciate you having me on. Thank you.

Jos Aguiar
For those who don’t know yet, can you tell us a little bit more about your background? And guess how you got to where you are today?

Vince Reed
A lot of sweat equity. Inside, I know, no problem. Yeah, I am, you know, I was an athlete growing up, I quickly realised I wasn’t going to be playing on Sundays. And, you know, fell into the real estate industry after college and did well and didn’t do the things that I do today. Bing, did invest in mentorship, didn’t have really any guidance in terms of buying information or products or trying to get better. I was just doing what everyone else was doing. And you know, a lot of people blame the market when things collapse. But we all saw it coming. I just wasn’t prepared because I know a lot of people that did really well when the market collapse. And I stumbled on the internet. And I was just kind of hooked when I realised that during the real estate data days, I was paying 50 or $100 a lead. And then some person told me how I could generate my own leads on the internet for pennies. I was hooked. So it was just too late. There was no no loans and no homes being sold. When I was learning real estate when I first got started, but I was just I fell in love with with the whole thing, the whole idea of being able to really capture what’s going on inside of your prospects mind when they’re searching, being able to give them a solution to their problem. So yeah, that’s kind of what I’ve been doing ever since since 2008. I’ve been full time internet marketer.

Jos Aguiar
That’s cool, man. So we you generating leads for yourself in real estate before you got into doing other people had, you

Vince Reed
know not at all? Like, okay, no, I was I was buying a man I was spending, like I said, 50 or 100 bucks a lead back then. Okay. And they were like the, you know, the great leads, quote, unquote, they were saying goodbye. And, you know, if you close one out of you know, whatever, and you get one deal. And that’s kind of what we did, because that’s what I was taught. And I had no idea that you you know, even generate your own leads back then.

Jos Aguiar
That’s cool. And when you just didn’t stumble into it. What do you mean by stumbled upon the internet? Do you start doing courses? Do you?

Vince Reed
So? Yeah, so when I when I lost pretty much everything, and the girlfriend and was paying the bills, and the foreclosure stickers were on the door. I basically went on the internet, and I typed what a lot of people search and how to make money on the internet. And I actually, actually I went to Craigslist and try to find a sales job. And there was an ad that said make money on Google. And that’s where it sparked my interest did some research. And that led me to different, you know, opportunities online and, you know, to different mental or physical, I just started following and learning how the Internet was was done. And that’s kind of where I got my start.

Jos Aguiar
Let’s go and your business is generating leads for other people or how did you start going down that path?

Vince Reed
Right? Right now, or, when I was when I got started,

Jos Aguiar
we got started and had come to a on top.

Vince Reed
When I when I got started I asked when I got started, I was actually in a business opportunity. And I didn’t want to harass friends and family. So you know, it was like either figure out a way to generate your own leads or you’re going to be flipping burgers. So I said generate my own leads it is and that’s where I started.

Jos Aguiar
Okay, you mean like in an MLM type thing?

Vince Reed
Yeah, I was at a I was in a like a top tier direct sales company at first didn’t do really well there then I joined a network marketing company and quickly scaled back company became one of the top distributors never pitting a friend or family member just leveraging the internet generating leads completely automated the entire process. You know, ended up being the number one distributor in the company and doing the webinars for the for the company really kind of quickly. Until they told me that they only wanted me to teach the company those strategies and then I said that’s not why I did this. I didn’t really get here to be in it. employee. So I said, Okay, well take all my money back, and I’m gonna go create a company and I created a company where I started teaching marketing lead generation. Now there’s, so we don’t do any other strategies for businesses, like we’re not an agency, we pretty much teach you how to fish. So, you know, I’m kind of the anti agency type of person, I think that they can work. If it’s something that you’re doing on top of, what is it you control, meaning, like, for example, I wouldn’t have a problem hiring an agency right now to get me extra traffic, but I just wouldn’t want to control my life and my business by someone else. And I think people could spend their own money learning, even if they failed, how to do it themselves, or paying someone else to do it. So we kind of teach those individuals how to control their own marketing on their own.

Jos Aguiar
I’ll see you more on education company now.

Vince Reed
Absolutely. And we do a lot of coaching. And we work with a lot of entrepreneurs. And we go in and we’ll do like VIP days for weekends for businesses and entrepreneurs.

Jos Aguiar
Simple and what what has been the biggest learnings for you on your on your own journey? And what are the mistakes that other people making? You see, that just should be fixed easily?

Vince Reed
Um, so what was the first part, you kind of broke up?

Jos Aguiar
What are the what are the biggest learnings you’ve had along your own journey? What’s the biggest things you’ve learned that have made the biggest impact to you?

Vince Reed
Okay, so what are the biggest things that I’ve learned on my journey? Okay, um, you know, I think that you have to have what I call controlled chaos. Meaning, like, for example, I don’t know if you into sports. But if you ever watched a boxing match, right, and there’s people that, you know, come out there, and they just swing and crazy from the beginning, and obviously, they tire out pretty quick, and they end up losing, you want to have control chaos, meaning you want to be able to strategically have enough patience to position yourself and your business and put yourself in the right position. And that’s when you’re extremely aggressive. So you have to know when to do that. So an example of that from advertising would just simply be you, basically trying to use brute force and say, Okay, I’ve got all this money, I want to advertise, let’s just spend a tonne of money and just get ourselves out there, and everyone’s gonna know us, and we’re gonna make our money back. That’s where I see most businesses fail versus learning how to do it the right way. And really not rely, I think that it’s actually a science behind running ads, anyone can place an ad, it’s really the strategy behind it. So figuring out how to really identify who that audience is how to craft the right message. And once you have that, then it’s time to be aggressive. And that would be an example in boxing, you got your opponent in the corner. And now you can pretty much unleash all of your theory. So that’s kind of how I, how I take with marketing.

Jos Aguiar
It’s cool, man. And when you started, do you initially always go to education route? Or do you start to generate leads for other people and for your, for yourself?

Vince Reed
Yeah, I never generated leads. For other people. I’ve always done education and created information products, teaching people how to do it themselves. And a lot of that stems from me, you know, going all the way back to real estate haven’t been the market tank. And pretty much realising that if the banks weren’t lending, I couldn’t make money. So I don’t ever want to put a business owner in that same situation. Question. I actually, when I get companies trying to get me to do their marketing, and I really out priced them on purpose, because I don’t want them to do that. I don’t want them dependent on me. I think, you know, they’re better off spending time with me on a weekend letting me show their company what to do, they save more money, they’d be way more effective, because no one’s gonna care about your business more than you.

Jos Aguiar
I’ve seen you be doing some interesting strategies with your own, like, video TV shows method hasn’t been for your business, and what was the reasoning for that?

Vince Reed
Yeah, you know, it’s more just giving back to show and what we do each and every day. And you know, it’s a lot of fun to do that, and kind of documenting the process. And I think our audience likes it. But I think that it’s more to do with more the whole attraction marketing aspect of how the internet works, just, you know, letting people know that we’re out there, we’re doing things, we’re learning things and kind of giving them that behind the scenes look at our business. But more than anything, we just want to, you know, for people looking in from the outside, we want to be back company that, you know, people see us consistently providing value and training and tools and information. And, you know, if they’re a person that wants to get better, and they need more marketing or traffic, then obviously we’re there to assist them man as well.

Jos Aguiar
It’s cool. It’s cool, man. And what’s been exciting, exciting transformations. You’ve seen other people

Vince Reed
well, so Are they able to help a lot of people make multiple six figures we’ve had, I’ve had, you know, three different individuals earn over seven figures in terms of students, we’ve got some students now that are doing some things that I think are gonna hit seven figure mark. So for me, it’s not really about the revenue that we generate, it’s really seeing our students and people that buy our products and services and go to our events and, you know, buy courses get results. And just trying to keep it simple. I think people make it like it. Again, it’s not the ads that make it work, it’s the strategy behind it, you can go into any social media site, and go into their help section and don’t tell you how to put up the ad. But there’s a reason not every ad is successful. It’s the strategy. And I think that once you learn the strategy, and the mechanics behind the marketing, and what you’re trying to do and realise it, specifically, today, 99% of advertising is on social media. Nobody went on social media ever in the history of social media to buy anything. You know, you didn’t wake up today, and at a Cold Sleep, they gotta run the Facebook and buy something, right. So you have to really know how to actually get that person from, I’m wanting to see what my friend is doing on Facebook, too. I’m interested in learning more about what you have to say. And I think that’s the strategy behind it that that people struggle with the most

Jos Aguiar
brilliant, probably this has been great. Where can people learn more about you or connect with you further?

Vince Reed
Yeah, man, I mean, I think the best place to do it, you can go to vintry.com. Or you can find me on Facebook adventury Live. And actually, this wasn’t set up. It’s exciting. I just got the final proof of my book. So eventually, you can check out internet traffic and leads a man that’s gonna be out here, hopefully in the next couple of weeks. That’s the final proof. I just went through it. Everything’s good. So we’re excited about launching that here in the next few weeks.

Jos Aguiar
