May 15, 06:26 PM
It's a matter of all ships rise, let's go. But, but I'm telling you, like, I can get on that stage and I guarantee you I can come up with four or five and put together rev share equity deals.
May 15, 06:26 PM
Speaker 1: And we're only going to do guys who are fucking serious about this and I'm only going to take so many of you on, but if you want no-risk marketing and it's a matter of all ships rise, let's go.

But if you want no-risk marketing and it's...
May 15, 06:25 PM
...do like the results that we're having. Like I said, we do a good job, but at the same point, I know that they're freaking unicorns in the market. Like, you know, people who like, they are the best of the best, like guys like you. I'm like, dude, if I have somebody like that on the team, and it's a matter of like, we're only...
May 15, 06:25 PM
five pool builders already, so they're actually talking about having me come out to their conference this year just because of like the results that we're having.

May 15, 06:25 PM
Speaker 1: He runs a Facebook group that has like 1500 pool builders in it.
Speaker 2: Wow.

Yeah. So, so listen, I, I got a dude who owns, he basically, he runs a Facebook group, has like 1500 pool builders in it. Um, and I've got right now, one, two, maybe...
May 15, 06:25 PM
Speaker 1: ...telling me about how easy they were able to obtain it, especially like because you know I live in Sarasota, Florida. So not only is it a niche I want to get into, like I want to get into it, like even locally, because it's beaucoup money.
Speaker 2: I got a dude who owns basically...
May 15, 06:25 PM
So, right? So they got into luxury pool building. They're fucking crushing it now. So he saw me coding on the plane, right? You know, I'm coding on the plane and shit. He's like, "I see you with your little AI there." So we started chopping it up and the numbers he was talking...
May 15, 06:24 PM
Dude, those tools are like average 120 grand.
May 15, 06:24 PM
Right, 'cause his brother wanted to or some shit, or his cousin that's like a little techie. They... and down here in Florida about an hour away from me, they were losing money month after month with the pool cleaning. So the dude, like, a little bit of business savvy, right? He was like, "Well, we need to up..."
May 15, 06:24 PM
Speaker 1: And good way too because like dude those tools are like average 120 grand.
Speaker 2: Yo, that's a niche I actually want to get in. On the way to spring training, you know, I met a guy and you know I fly first class, right? So the dude sit— Bro, the dude bought a fucking pool cleaning business, right?
May 15, 06:24 PM
insanely, but the other thing is too, like, all you and I got to figure out is like where else could we go do that shit. Like, because attorneys is one angle, but there's—if you—if you came up with three or four niches, like, I do think this pool builder thing is a—is a good way too because like...
May 15, 06:23 PM
Speaker 1: That's, that's I'm telling you like insanely... but the other thing is too like all you and I gotta figure out is like where else could we go do that shit? Like cause attorneys is one angle.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: But there is, if you, if you came up with three or four niches like I do think this pool builder thing is a... is a...
May 15, 06:23 PM
work and I'm sitting here watching these guys, I'm sitting in his office one day and he made 600 grand and I wasn't even in there an hour. So, I'm like, yeah, this is... I'm tired of watching his car fleet improve faster than everybody else around here. So, that being said, we can figure that out, like...
May 15, 06:23 PM
That type of shit. Uh, because I'm really tired of seeing, you know, I'm like, "Hey, listen, that recurring ad spend and margins is nice, but at the same point, it's like, you only got so much. You're gonna have to scale the shit out of that thing to make it work." And I'm sitting here watching these guys. I'm sitting in his office one...
May 15, 06:23 PM
I'm telling you like, I'm, let's fucking go. Because like if I can show that, it's like he's had to hire three new attorneys since I started working with them. I want to make him hire ten. Uh, but, a hundred percent. But it's like, how do we do that?
May 15, 06:23 PM
Speaker 1: Oh, my mind's already on... exactly right, bro.
Speaker 2: Let's fucking go.
Speaker 1: Because like, if I can show that, it's like, he's had to hire three new attorneys since I started working with him. I want to make him hire ten.
Speaker 2: Yeah, fuck yeah. And get a cut. Hell yeah.
May 15, 06:23 PM
Speaker 1: ...another city where he can literally hang a shingle and get a GVP, and he's gonna come back in and go, "Listen, I won't put any money into that market. Every lead you generate for me, I'll rev share with you on it. That way I got no—"
Speaker 2: Dude, that's what my mind—I've already—my mind...
May 15, 06:22 PM
He would go open an office in another city where he could literally hang a shingle and get a GBP and he's going to come back in and go, "Listen, I won't put any money into that market. Every lead you generate for me, I'll rev share with you on it. And that way I got nothing." Dude, I'm talking...
May 15, 06:22 PM
475 by the time we were done last year and we hadn't changed the budget. So, and we aren't even like to a point yet... like the other thing that these guys are willing to do that you and I could think about is like this type of attorney would go open an office in another...
May 15, 06:22 PM
He had 120 cases when we took him, he had 475 by the time we were done last year and we hadn't changed the budget. So, and we aren't even like to a point yet, like the other thing that these guys are willing to do that you and I could think about is like this type of attorney...
May 15, 06:22 PM
...to be... we have to have somebody who can come back in and do... and the other thing is, we need an attorney that's a hustler too. Like, he has to be somebody who can come back in and... and this dude, like, we took him three years ago was the first time I started doing business with him. He had 120 cases when we took him. He had...
May 15, 06:22 PM

Gregory Ortiz: Yo! Those videos look good but it's omegaindexer.com not .io before Elias says it @Michael Merlino. I think they'd make great ads. I can write some copy too.
Michael Merlino: hey bro. I have CREDITS running out today so if you can send even one or two or whatever I can do them fo sho.

[Omega Indexer Pitch Content]
Step two: Google finds it and indexes it. Most people obsess over step one. Nobody talks about step two. And that's exactly where the money gets wasted. Because if Google doesn't index your link, it doesn't count. No authority passes. No rankings move. Nothing. You could have the best link building strategy in the world and lose half its power just because your links are sitting there unindexed. That's what Omega Indexer fixes. AI indexing technology that submits your links, gets them found by Google, and monitors the result. And the part that nobody else in this industry offers: If a link doesn't get indexed within 9 days, you get your credits back automatically. You literally only pay for what works. If you're serious about link building, this is the missing piece. Omegalndexer.com
