- In 2019, Josh first launched chatbot Instagram, a software developer using keywords and hashtags in 2016, and moved into digital marketing in 2019.
- Originally from a small town called Menifee, he moved to Irvine to expand content creation and social media opportunities to sell products and services online.
In 2017, Josh King Madrid dropped out of college after four months at the University of California, Irvine. He was earning $27,000 a month. Just 6 months ago, he was lying on his parent's couch wondering if ads for making money online were really "real" and if so, was it possible for him?
"I remember joining a digital marketing Facebook group and within 5 minutes I got a notification on Facebook Messenger. Some guy named Jeff said, 'What's up, man?' I didn't answer, but he was watching. But I read this five minutes later: "Welcome to the group. come on I also joined. Let me know if you have any questions about digital marketing.
Josh, then 18, had many questions about the idea of starting an online business using social media. And 30 minutes later, Josh decided to invest in his first online marketing tool. It was Online Sales Pro, a lead generation tool with a sales funnel and a mobile app. "If the company wasn't on the App Store, I wouldn't believe it was legit," says Josh.
It costs $297, up from $305 when it launched. To succeed, he used this social media app and started searching for blogs, videos, and stories from other successful entrepreneurs. In his first month, he worked 14 hour days and was paid $80, posing as a college student using the name "Jetset" online. Six months later he won his first $8,000 and by December 2016 he had won over $27,000. Then decided to drop out of school.
At 18, he moved into a $4,000-a-month four-bedroom apartment near his college campus and rented out his old room to one of his Sigma Pi fraternities for $800, building his personal brand on Instagram by tens of thousands. Thousands of followers per month.
It was December 2018 and Josh had organized a 750 person business conference in Las Vegas in less than 100 days. It engages 40 leading industry experts as speakers and conducts its daily sales pitches. Josh said: "I thought I would sell out quickly when I started my funnel, but no one bought, even announcing very well-known speakers in the industry, only 50 people bought tickets, and my conference didn't buy. was only 45 days away." A week later, Josh called. It was Jeff, an old Facebook friend, who had started digital marketing in 2016 and wanted to strike a deal. This time, Josh wasn't interested in listening to a sales pitch. New to digital marketing, Jeff already knew that wasn't the case: he was receiving over 1,000 emails a day from his fans and followers.
Jeff didn't know it at the time, but the jet set was struggling, six figures for the convention and he had 700 more tickets to sell - so far he's managed to sell 50.
Jeff offered Jetset a contract to be the world's first beta tester of his soon-to-be-released chatbot software for $2,000 to help cover development costs.
Josh loved the idea, but was worried it would hurt his Instagram. Nobody in the world has ever marketed DM Chabot on Instagram, and Jeff tried it on his own, posting 50-70 posts a day on his personal account with two thousand followers. JetSet had over 320,000 subscribers but was willing to try something out this time around since it was so close to the event.
Jetset therefore accepted Jeff's offer, paid the development costs and, in return, was able to use the software to create an AI (automated interactive) messaging chatbot. This will be the first use of a chatbot funnel and social CRM for Instagram. The campaign was a huge success, making the power of Instagram DM automation a hugely positive use case.
Josh generated over 11,000 leads per day and responded to 50,000 DMs (that's about 50,000 per day if you know how much an account can send/reply). In addition to being the first marketer in the world to use chatbots, Instagram DM also implemented a chat platform, selling 750 tickets in 23 days of beta testing. . The AI chatbot Jetset has made over $5 million.
Josh has established himself in the digital marketing industry as an early adopter of prototype software using Instagram chatbots, keywords and hashtags to build a list and promote leads. Little did he know it at the start of 2019, but the marketing campaign transformed the way brands and businesses sell on Instagram. A few months after Josh used the chatbot for his speech, Instagram rolled out direct message ads. Within a year, Jeff had convinced the Nail Boys, Tony Robbins, Grant Cardone and other internet celebrities to come to his platform and use Instagram DM automation in their digital marketing efforts.
Josh said, "I am grateful and honored that my talk served as a case study for conversational chatbot marketers. I have since decided to become certified in NLP and Neuromarketing to improve my conversational marketing skills. Surprise It's still but not anymore.
"I knew it was dangerous, but I was 20 and had a dream I was committed to and a friend I could trust," Josh recalled.
Josh admits automation tech startup Instagram DM is gone, replaced by software giants MobileMonkey and ManyChat.
Now 24, Josh claims to have generated over $20 million in online sales using AI chatbots and is a power user in his marketing campaigns. Generate 200,000 leads from Q4 2021 to Q3 2022 to sell 5 NFT projects to clients. "My goal is to improve and expand the boundaries of what's possible in the world of digital marketing with conversational chatbots," he says. He explains that his strength is knowing what it takes to build relationships via DM and having all the campaign flowcharts in mind and understanding the art of automating DM conversations in his psych copy. And get organized.
