What’s Inside Ian Stanley’s Beat The Control Workshop?
This workshop is broken down into three core sessions, covering everything you need to know about beating controls, optimizing funnels, refining email sequences, and structuring profitable deals with clients. Here’s what each session offers and how it can help you elevate your game.
1. Mastering the Art of Beating Controls: Boosting Sales Pages and Funnels with Minimal Effort
The main idea behind beating the control is simple: take what’s already working and make it better. This isn’t about rewriting entire pages or overhauling funnels from scratch. Instead, Ian’s workshop teaches you how to find small adjustments that can lead to massive improvements in performance.
- Learn How to “Beat” Sales Page Controls: You’ll discover methods to outperform existing sales pages, often without writing new copy. This can mean something as small as tweaking a headline, adding a call-to-action, or moving a section on the page.
- The “Perfect” Test vs. the “Right Now” Test: Ian explains the difference between running a “perfect” split test (which may take time) versus a quick “right now” test that gets results fast. Knowing when to use each approach is crucial to getting paid faster and showing clients instant value.
- The Power of Small Changes: Learn why you don’t always need a long-form page or complex copy to see major paydays. Some of the most effective tweaks involve fewer than 500 words, making this ideal for those who want to work efficiently.
If you’ve ever wondered how some copywriters make thousands from just a few words, this session explains exactly how to do that by understanding the psychology behind winning split tests.
2. Optimizing Email Sequences with High-Converting Adjustments
Email sequences are a goldmine for copywriters who know how to optimize them. In this workshop, Ian shares his techniques for transforming email sequences with subtle adjustments that can lead to big results.
- Small Tweaks, Big Paydays: Learn how minor tweaks in an email’s subject line, opening sentence, or call-to-action can result in significant revenue boosts. Ian shows you exactly where to focus for maximum impact.
- Winning with Less Copy: Unlike some methods that require long, drawn-out emails, Ian explains why writing less can often lead to better results. With his guidance, you’ll know exactly how to structure an email that hits hard without overcomplicating the message.
- Client Identification for Email Optimization: If you’re looking to offer these services to clients, Ian provides strategies for identifying clients who will benefit most from your work and are willing to pay well for it.
By the end of this session, you’ll have the skills to turn an average email sequence into a high-converting powerhouse, whether for your own business or your clients.
3. Structuring Deals and Getting Paid to Split Test: How to Maximize Revenue from Minimal Work
Knowing how to beat controls is only part of the equation. This session is all about setting up profitable deal structures with clients so you get paid well for your expertise—often with very little actual work.
- Profitable Deal Structures: Ian shares his insights on structuring deals that reward you for results, allowing you to make thousands for just a few hours of work. This includes tips on pricing, setting terms, and ensuring clients see the value in what you offer.
- Avoiding Costly Mistakes: Ian opens up about his own $59,000 mistake, offering advice on how to avoid similar pitfalls. Learning from these experiences can save you time and money, making your approach to client work more efficient.
- Proven Tactics for Attracting High-Paying Clients: When you know how to beat controls, clients will seek you out for your expertise. Ian explains how to market yourself effectively, so you attract the right kind of clients and build profitable relationships.
This session isn’t just about the technical side of testing—it’s about learning how to negotiate, price, and secure deals that pay you handsomely for your skills.
