Quotes:

“If there’s anything you’ve learned from this initial episode, it’s that we just get into it and we perfect it as we go.” - Joey Xoto

“Anybody that started out in business, I think we all did the same; like I did it as well. When I started, I thought I needed business cards so I bought, like, a thousand business cards. But I literally, like, I probably gave out, like, three. People spend their money on things, they do it on things that you probably don’t need to do.” - Joey Xoto

“When you start out you’ve just got to figure out what is it that you want to get across to your prospect, what is it that they need..” - Joey Xoto

“Everybody has this thought that, I can’t build a business with a launch. I need to get away from launches. I need to build a business that builds itself. And 100% yes, but launches can have a significant impact and should be utilized throughout the entire lifecycle (in a lot of ways).” - Jamie Garside

“We put the money in and all of our time, essentially, to get a marketing event ready.” - Joey

“We were making hundreds to thousands of dollars but on the inside, I was just so concerned that the app wasn’t working the way it should, that the developer’s not there. [...]. There were so many variables that could go wrong--that did go wrong, to be fair.” - Joey

“Anyone who’s had a job that they didn’t enjoy doing… You might have been good at it but when you can choose not to do it and you’re forced to, it’s the worst thing ever.” - David

“I feel like I’ve made a better choice. Even if I make less [money], I’m happier being my own boss and being in charge of my own destiny.” - David

Quotes:

“I think if you are brand new and you’re in the, you know, money-making marketing industry, I think JV is a really nice place to start.” - Joey Xoto

“It’s funny you mention the YouTubers cause I think YouTube influencers probably underestimate how much money they could really make if they could actually leverage, like, what they’ve got there. Like the amount of affiliate pull they would have. The amount of, like, content they could get out, like, they could make so much more money relying on their actual information.” - Joey Xoto

“It’s all on scarcity, isn’t it? That’s what it’s all about. It’s about building something, an event, where it’s happening once. It’s gonna be available this once.” - Jamie Garside

“There are certain things you can do as well. We never did it where we just decided we were confident on the launches. [...] If you’re doing one of these, you’re going to be able to see the kind of hype built around your own product and how much interest from affiliates you’ve got. So you know how confident you can be with this type of thing.” - Jamie Garside, on affiliate events

“Finding affiliate partners isn’t that hard. You just gotta, you definitely have to put yourself out there. You know, you’re not going to find, you’re not going to find a thousand affiliate partners that’ll blow up a launch for you by just sittin’ and doin’ nothing and maybe listing your product on JVZoo or an affiliate network like Clickbank. You need to be out there, almost like a salesperson.” - Jamie Garside
