Summary
There’s a structure for what works on Twitter, and today’s guest is sharing the secrets to his wild success in 2021 on this often overlooked platform.
In today’s episode, co-hosts Ralph Burn and Kasim Aslam sit down with Nick “The Shack” Shackelford, founder and CEO of Structured Agency. In February 2021, Nick’s competitive nature led him to bet a buddy he could get to 10k Twitter followers first. Ten months later, he’s almost doubled that. So, how did he become King of the Twitterverse? Great content, humor, being bold (and sometimes contrarian), and taking the time to engage with others in an intentional way. And he says anyone can do what he did.
Listen in for a peek at Nick’s roadmap to Twitter greatness.

| 0:00.0 | Hey folks, Ralph here with something that could seriously upgrade your top of funnel ad game. |
| 0:06.8 | If you've been a PT listener for any period of time, you know that we talk about top of funnel |
| 0:10.5 | all the time and how challenging it is for you to get quality top of funnel clients or leads |
| 0:17.9 | or customers and then convert them typically at bottom of funnel. |
| 0:22.9 | Well, TV advertising is one of those areas that we haven't discussed here on PT all that much. |
| 0:29.4 | But our friends over at AdCritter have figured this stuff out. |
| 0:33.2 | They do connect to TV ads so you can be everywhere without spending millions on Super Bowl ads, |
| 0:39.9 | but they pair it with display retargeting. So you're hitting the audiences with a complete approach. |
| 0:46.4 | You reach them, then you remind them, and then you collect the revenue. It's a strategy |
| 0:52.1 | designed to deliver, and let me tell you, it really |
| 0:55.6 | works. We're testing this at Tier 11, and so far, the results have been very impressive. Now, |
| 1:01.6 | with AdCritter, creating custom audiences are so easy. You don't need to reformat files. You don't |

| 1:15.1 | They make it easy to connect with the right people, |
| 1:17.4 | the actual people that have interacted with your ads in the past, |
| 1:20.7 | and then allow them to naturally flow through your funnel |
| 1:23.7 | so you can convert them at bottom of funnel. |
| 1:26.9 | Now, the folks at AdCriter, we twisted |
| 1:28.8 | their arm to get us a great deal for you, the PT listener. They are offering a special deal for y'all, |
| 1:35.1 | and that is you can get a $500 campaign credit, meaning $500 in free money to test out the platform |
| 1:41.9 | or dollar for dollar matching on any TV campaign up to five grand. |
