[00:00:00] CORY: Welcome to the impactors podcast. I'm Cory Carter
[00:00:04] RON: and I'm Ron. Cool.
[00:00:05] CORY: And we are the owners and founders of hindsight hacking media agency, podcast, funnels, graphics, and more head on over to get hhm.com
[00:00:15] RON: guys, we created this podcast to help you go create an impact today. Not tomorrow, not yesterday. Today. We're taking all the fluff, all the BS out so you can go create.
[00:00:25] CORY: And Today's topic is
[00:00:34] RON: traffic and the traffic kind we're talking about today is the one that you own.
[00:00:38] CORY: That's right. Ron traffic that you own, it's the most important traffic out there. And so I'm going to pose a couple of questions and if you can give me the yes or no, do you own all your friends and folks and connections on Facebook
[00:00:54] no,
[00:00:55] no you don't. How about Instagram?
[00:00:57] RON: No,
[00:00:58] CORY: that's right. Yeah. [00:01:00] Zuckerberg can take those away from us anytime he wants. And yes, we have been there, unfortunately. So that's why that's the first topic of, uh, traffic is traffic that you own the, so, so how do you get, how do you own traffic?
[00:01:18] RON: You get an email. That's the easiest way, right? Um, If, very contact on your phone, you kind of own them that, right. It's yours, it's in your possession and email list, best way to own the traffic. So then if you get disconnected or we have a client that she's getting banned on Instagram for some of her posts, because it's a weight loss situation. Right. But she has a huge email list. So her community is still in communion with her group because she owns her own list and owns her own traffic
[00:01:54] CORY: that's right. So a couple of ways, obviously get an email and, you know, we do this with our Facebook group, [00:02:00] uh, where we ask for an email. Another way is anytime you have a website, anytime somebody goes to the website. If, if you collect their contact information for whatever reason, right? Whether it's you're giving them, they bought a spot, something. Now you own their phone number, their email, or they they're giving you some contact information. Some kind of free training or training.
[00:02:22] RON: Right. Right.
[00:02:23] CORY: So it's not just the email, a phone could be another way then that's a little, that's something we haven't ventured into, but there's that whole texting community stuff that people
[00:02:35] RON: yeah. I'm in it for other people. And I've actually looked into it for us. Uh, we just don't have the phone numbers to put it into,
[00:02:41] CORY: not yet. Not yet. We haven't gotten that, gotten that way yet, but it's a unique thing. So traffic that you own, you know, you and I have been there with the losing it from Facebook and just, I got to tell the story for me, and then I'll let you tell your story, but I, you and I had [00:03:00] a black Friday deal going in 2020, and I had messenger conversations going for a long time. And I had probably 4,000 friends quotation mark on Facebook. Yes. Some were friends, some were acquaintances, some were family, whatever, but tons of conversations going on. And then Thanksgiving day, someone hacked my account.
[00:03:24] RON: Yeah.
[00:03:25] CORY: Thanksgiving day, we then lost the ability to go into these conversations that were supposed to happen on the day after Thanksgiving. And we had still had a banner that black Friday deal and sales, but the debt, it probably costs us 20 grand
[00:03:44] RON: oh, easy, easy, easy. And it was so frustrating because it took you months to get back into it. Right?
[00:03:49] CORY: Correct. And so much so that, that I have a new account that I use. I don't even use that. because of What happened? And, you know, mine is, [00:04:00] you know, on top of all the credit card stuff and all that, that happened, but it was such a bummer. So very passionate about find a way to own your traffic. Find a way to have the ability to reach out. The moment that somebody takes away your current avenue. Right. So, uh, but yeah, definitely tell your story. Cause that's, that's not as bad, but it's still as stressful.
[00:04:23] RON: mine. Just all of a sudden, uh, I got locked out of my account. Don't have a clue why I wasn't messaging. I wasn't doing nothing wrong and it wouldn't text me the verification code. And so it went three months trying to get back on to Facebook, you know, luckily. We weren't, you know, in high spin of doing things like it was black Friday, but it was still stressful and it's more stressful just because like all the family photos were all of a sudden gone. Right. Those memories are, were just gone.
[00:04:55] CORY: Yeah. You had, I mean, yours wasn't costing the business. But it was still the [00:05:00] stress that none of us, like we have enough stress.
[00:05:02] We don't need the added stress like that. Um, but you use your account. You use Facebook way differently than me. Like I went years on Facebook without posting stuff about the family and that you basically like that was your spot to have your family photos. Right. That was your spot with all your fun stuff. And so you had that added stress for, for months.
[00:05:24] RON: I didn't own my own pictures is what that taught me that
[00:05:26] CORY: yes. A hundred percent. Didn't own your own pictures. Hopefully you do. Now.
[00:05:32] RON: I do know I do know
[00:05:33] CORY: all right. So, so to everyone out there, moral of this story, you must own your traffic. What's the action
[00:05:41] RON: get an email list started to figure out a landing page where you're capturing emails, asking for emails, start making your list today. So then you don't lose track of your people. Period. End of story. No fluff, no BS. Just impact. Go make some
