How it works, in eight minutes

Why a show, not another ad

Your customers already watch reality TV. Most have never seen you work.

An ad

  • Tells people what you sell.
  • Gets scrolled past in a second.
  • Stops working the day you stop paying.

A show

  • Lets people watch who you are.
  • Brings them back for the next episode.
  • Keeps getting watched after it posts.

People buy from people they understand. Watching you is how they get to know you.

Reality · your story

Sells and teaches

You in your own words: a personal site, your story written down, and the reason a stranger keeps watching.

Affinity · a way to get paid

Delivers

Your offer, your class or your shop, with a checkout that works at two in the morning.

The engine

Short clips find strangers. The show makes them trust you.

The yapping studio

A studio at home and in your car

Lights, a mic and your phone, set up for one or two people. You talk, we cut. It is where the daily clips come from, without a crew.

Every view lands somewhere. This is the order people move in:

  1. 1ClipsShort videos every day, on every app.
  2. 2Your showThe full episodes, on your own TV site.
  3. 3Your storyYour personal site, where they learn who you are.
  4. 4What you sellYour offer, with a checkout that is always open.

Plus one short format viewers take part in. Mathew's is Scam Check: someone shows him a message, he gives his opinion, and viewers vote.

Where the money comes from

How a show turns into customers

A show does not sell on its own. It moves people through five steps, and each step has a number you can watch.

  1. 1AttentionClips go out every day. People who never heard of you see your face and your work.You watch: views
  2. 2TrustThey watch you handle real customers. After a few episodes they know how you work before they ever call.You watch: follows, replies
  3. 3StoryThey want to see what happens next, so they come back and send an episode to a friend.You watch: return viewers, shares
  4. 4OfferEvery episode points to one clear next step: book, buy, or join the list.You watch: taps to your page
  5. 5CustomersSome buy the first week. Most buy after they have watched you for a while.You watch: bookings, sales

Seven ways a show pays a business

More customers

People who found you through a clip, not through an ad you paid for.

Better prices

Someone who has watched you work for weeks argues less about what you charge.

Repeat buyers

Viewers come back for the next episode, and for the next order.

Referrals

An episode is easy to send. "Watch this, it's the place I told you about."

Sponsors and brand deals

Once people watch you, other brands will pay to be in front of them.

Your own products

A class, a kit or merch, sold to people who already like you.

Ads you already own

The clips you shot become your ads, so you stop paying to make new ones.

Run the numbers

Example numbers, not a prediction. The starting values below are made up for a local business so you can see how the math works. Put in your own.

200visits to your page a month
20people leave their name
5new customers a month
$600first sales a month
$2,400what one month of new customers spends over a year

Example numbers, not a prediction. Your results depend on your offer, your price, how often you post and what people think of the show.

What it costs you, honestly

Your time

The shoot days with our crew, plus about ten minutes a day talking to your phone.

An investment

The program has a price. We go over it on the call, along with payment plans.

A few months

Plan on a few months of steady posting before you judge it. A first-week sale is a bonus, not the plan.

A real offer

A show cannot sell something nobody wants. That is why the first 14 days work on your offer before anything is filmed.

We do not promise sales or income.

The season

Five episodes. Each one leaves viewers with one feeling.

Together the five add up to trust. This is the structure we build every season on.

Episode 1

The underdog

Where you started and what was against you.

Episode 2

The special gift

The thing you do that other people can't.

Episode 3

The struggle

A real problem in your business, on camera.

Episode 4

The method

How you do it, step by step, so viewers learn from you.

Episode 5

The payoff

A customer you helped, and what changed for them.

Your first shoot

One shoot, five things to sell with

01

The sizzle

A two-minute trailer of your show, from your real day.

02

The yapping studio

Your home and car set up for daily clips.

03

The infomercial

An eight-minute pitch for your free offer.

04

Ten ads

One for each reason a customer reaches for you.

05

The webinar

A 45-minute talk with 30 slides that teaches, then asks.

The order on the day: we start in a lit studio we book, with the webinar, then the ads, then the infomercial. Then we come to you to set up your studio and film the show.

Questions

What owners ask us first

Do I need followers to start?

No. The show is how you get them. We start from wherever you are today.

I'm not good on camera. Does that matter?

No. We plan every scene with you, and short lessons before the shoot teach you how to talk to the camera.

Is it scripted?

It is your real work and your real life. We plan the scenes and the questions. What you say is yours.

How much of my time does it take?

Plan on full shoot days when we film, then short sessions in your own studio a few times a week. We edit and post.

What kind of business is this for?

Owners who are the face of the business: shops, studios, salons, services, teachers, coaches, estate sale companies. If customers buy from you because of you, it fits.

What does it cost?

The call is free. On the call we show you your show idea and the price for your business.
