Introduce four types of products: a gift (free content), product for prospects, core offer, and a "product for clients" (24:40) (extensions or subscriptions for existing clients). Structure the year into a "three-part year" (25:36): the perfect repeatable week, 3-4 spotlight campaigns (25:51) (special offers or events), and an "annual big message" (26:36) to drive content and reinforce brand identity.

The system consists of three main parts:

Landing Page (0:46): This is the initial point of contact where potential leads arrive. It should include: 
    A hook (1:05), which can be a frustration hook (1:08) (e.g., "Feeling frustrated that you're not getting fitness results?") or a results hook (1:37) (e.g., "Are you ready to run your first marathon?").
    A subheading (2:01) that directs users to take the assessment to find out why they're experiencing frustration or if they're ready for a result.
    A value proposition (2:18) explaining what three key areas the assessment will measure and improve.
    A credibility section (3:02) detailing who created the assessment, their background, and any research done.
    A strong call to action (CTA) (3:44) that clearly states what to do next, how long it takes, that it's free, and what immediate recommendations they will receive.
Questionnaire (4:17): This section gathers information about the leads. It has three parts: 
    Contact Information (4:54): Automatically captures name, email, and location, with an optional phone number.
    Best Practices Questions (4:58): 10 questions that assess if users are following recommended practices in a given area.
    "Big Five" Sales Questions (5:45):  5 strategic questions designed to qualify leads and help make sales,  covering current situation, desired outcome, perceived obstacles,  preferred solution, and any additional information.
Dynamic Results (8:19): The results page changes based on how the user answered the questions. It includes: 
    A big reveal (8:57) of the overall score or performance.
    Three insights (9:07) derived from their answers.
    Next steps (9:15)  tailored to their qualification level, which could be a one-to-one  meeting, a group presentation, or simply content recommendations (e.g., a  video or book).
    Contact information (9:46) and social media links.

from the video give me best practice questions and big five questions

The video details two types of questions for the online assessment's questionnaire: Best Practice Questions (5:00-5:35)

These are 10 questions designed to find out if users are doing things they "should be doing." The answers to these questions contribute to their overall score. The specific questions will vary depending on the assessment's topic.

Examples provided include:

For a sleep assessment: 
    Do they get to bed at the same time every night?
    Are they using too many screens before bed?
For a health and fitness/weight loss assessment: 
    Do they track their calories?
    Do they work out three or four times a week?

The idea is to ask about 10 "best practices" that, if followed, would indicate the person is doing all the right things (5:37-5:44). Big Five Questions (5:51-7:42)

These are 5 powerful questions aimed at qualifying leads and facilitating sales:

Which best describes your current situation? (5:58) 
    Purpose: To understand the user's current status (e.g., student, manager, seasoned marathon runner).
Which describes your desired outcome that you would like to achieve in the next 90 days? (6:23) 
    Purpose: To identify their most important short-term goal (e.g., lose weight, achieve 7 hours of deep sleep).
What is the obstacle that you think is stopping you? Or what have you tried that hasn't worked in the past? (6:52) 
    Purpose: To uncover perceived barriers or past failed attempts.
Which solution do you think would suit you best? (7:06) 
    Purpose: To gauge their preferred type of solution, which  can also indicate their potential budget (e.g., education/training,  one-to-one coaching, software, done-for-me service).
Is there anything else that you think we need to know about? (7:40) 
    Purpose: An open-ended question for users to provide any additional, often useful, information that drives their decision-making.

This video outlines a 2026 Social Media Blueprint for businesses to generate leads and sales using a scientific, data-driven approach (0:05). The system is designed to reduce the cost of winning business (1:15).

The blueprint consists of three key ingredients:

Short-Form Content (1:29):
    You need 11 pieces of short-form content every 90 days to get noticed (1:35-1:52). This means posting frequently, ideally daily (1:59).
    Content should fall into the "three S's and two F's" categories to capture attention (2:32-2:35): 
        Scary: Discuss potential negative trends, things that go wrong, or horror stories in your industry (2:37-3:11).
        Strange: Create content that invokes curiosity, is novel, or offers a twisted take on things (3:13-3:46).
        Sexy: Focus on desirable outcomes and the big, appealing results your business provides (3:49-4:29).
        Free Value: Offer valuable information that people would normally pay for (4:45-5:05).
        Familiar: Leverage things or influencers your audience already knows and trusts (5:11-5:35).
    Short-form content includes short posts, images, graphs, or short videos (5:36-5:50).

Long-Form Content (6:02):
    After being noticed, people need 2 to 7 hours of long-form content to get to know you and build trust (6:04-6:24).
    Effective long-form formats include books, podcasts, and workshops (6:31-6:33), which can be delivered as long videos, reports, or online sessions (6:38-6:53).
    Long-form content should follow the "Capstone" framework (7:01-7:32): 
        Clarity
        Authority
        Problem
        Solution
        The Why
        Opportunity
        Next Steps
        Essence
    Incorporate High-Value Contextual References (HVCR) (7:48-8:31)  – associating yourself with big brands, awards, followers, or symbols  of high performance. Avoid low-value contextual references that could  make you seem cheap or inefficient (8:33-9:01).

High-Converting Landing Page (9:26):
    This is where attention and trust are converted into action and leads (12:38-12:40).
    A high-converting landing page needs: 
        A Hook: A clear statement that grabs attention,  such as a readiness hook ("Are you ready to...?") or a frustration hook  ("Feeling frustrated by...?") (9:44-10:23).
        A Value Proposition: Clearly states what people will get in exchange for taking action (10:30-10:51).
        Credibility: Reaffirm your background, qualifications, or powerful statistics to build trust (10:55-11:14).
        A Call to Action (CTA): A button telling people what to do next, with an online assessment being a highly recommended option (11:16-11:38). ScoreApp.com is suggested for creating these pages (11:41-11:59).
