19 Jan 2024 | The Untold Story Behind Alex Hormozi’s Skool Investment | 00:17:00 | |
Alex Hormozi recently invested in Sam Ovens’ skool.com. And the news has spread like wildfire in the marketing space. But there’s something no one is talking about. Before Hormozi invested in Skool, he started ALAN (Artificial Lead Automation & Nurture) just a few years ago. ALAN is a software company that used to help brick-and-mortar businesses work on their leads without the need for human interaction. Then COVID-19 happened. With gyms and other non-essential businesses closed, Hormozi’s ALAN team shifted their focus and went after agencies, which is HighLevel’s playing field. Fast forward to today, Hormozi joins Skool–an all-in-one community and course platform–which is doing what HighLevel has been doing for years. Now, what does this mean to HighLevel? With Hormozi jumping into Skool, will it pose a threat to HighLevel’s established community? Tune in to this week’s podcast episode to learn more about this sizzling SaaS “rivalry”.

09 May 2024 | Why You Should Switch Now to HighLevel Affiliate Manager | 00:10:29 | |
Are you tired of managing your affiliate program without seeing significant results? HighLevel Affiliate Manager's features might just convince you to switch now. A little backstory here… HighLevel started its affiliate program with FirstPromoter as it was the most affordable option at the time. However, FirstPromoter’s pricing structure was designed to charge you more if you make more in your affiliate program.

After FirstPromoter declined their offer, they took matters into their own hands. Enter the HighLevel Affiliate Manager–a system within the CRM made to keep track of affiliates more easily. Today, we’ll discuss the differences between FirstPromoter and HighLevel affiliate systems.
