AYMI · Expanded Marketing Proposal · July 2026

Vodyssey.*

The webinar earns the click. The site should earn the trust.

An outside-in pressure test: what we would pitch you today if we were re-earning the account. The paid engine is at scale. The infrastructure it lands on is not.

Prepared for · Shawn Moore Prepared by · The AYMI Editors July 2026 Version 1
§ 02 · CEO Summary

If you read one page, read this.

  1. The paid engine is at scale. Roughly 240 active ads targeting $1M+ earners, sustained since April 2026. The question is not whether paid works — it's whether the post-click infrastructure compounds it.
  2. The homepage undoes what the ad earned. Four unattributed testimonials, stock filenames (client2.jpg, client7.jpg), revenue claims with zero verification. A prospect who Googles the brand between the ad and the strategy call sees this first.
  3. The fix already exists on the site. /success-stories/ runs real dated Instagram DMs, text-message screenshots, and 60+ Signature Properties by city. The lift is porting that evidence standard up, not inventing a new one.
  4. The offer stack lives across five tools — WordPress, ClickFunnels, GoHighLevel, Skool, vodyssey.life — with no canonical Empire Club or White Glove sales URL. A prospect can't share, save, or verify the $25K offer as a discrete artifact.
  5. The recommended shape is Growth System. Trust-layer rebuild plus offer consolidation plus a paid engine that runs in the same house. This is the same play that compounded Quicken, BCG Digital Ventures, and A24. The math is on the next page.
§ 03 · Cliff Notes

The whole proposal, ten lines.

  • The paid door is a Ferrari. The garage door is stock photography.
  • 240+ active ads, $1M+ targeting, sustained April through June 2026.
  • Homepage: 4 unattributed quotes + client#.jpg stock photos. P0 FTC risk.
  • /success-stories/ already runs real dated screenshots. Port the standard up.
  • /pricing/ and /book-a-demo/ are unedited WordPress theme demos. Indexed. Embarrassing.
  • Empire Club ($9,800) and White Glove ($25,000) have no canonical sales URL.
  • The offer stack lives across WordPress + ClickFunnels + GoHighLevel + Skool + vodyssey.life.
  • Four green-lit case studies (Destin $750K→$1.3M, $2.29M→$7M scaler, +2) are ready to publish.
  • SEO: 185+ WordPress URLs, mostly programmatic content-farm articles. Audit for cannibalization.
  • Anchor recommendation: Growth System. First 90 days rebuild the trust layer. Everything compounds from there.
§ 05 · Where You Are · Where This Takes You

Seven axes. Two states. One direction.

The gap between what the ad promises and what the site delivers is the entire opportunity. Everything below is fixable in ninety days.

AxisWhere you are todayWhere this takes you
Trust layer Four unattributed testimonials on the homepage, filenames client2.jpgclient17.jpg. Zero verification path. Four named flagship case studies with dated real screenshots. Homepage carries the same evidence standard the Success Stories page already uses.
Offer sales pages Empire Club and White Glove have no canonical URL. Offer stack fragmented across ClickFunnels, GoHighLevel, Skool, vodyssey.life. Canonical /empire-club/ and /white-glove/ pages on vodyssey.com. Discrete artifacts a prospect can share, save, and return to.
Broken pages /pricing/ and /book-a-demo/ live as unedited WordPress theme demos ($19 / $89 / $299 SaaS boilerplate). Publicly indexed. Both deindexed, 301 redirected to real destinations. Zero embarrassment vectors between the ad and the close.
Case studies Four green-lit case studies (Destin $750K→$1.3M, $2.29M→$7M scaler + two more) not yet published in a flagship format. Four bylined case studies with photos, named members, exact before-and-after numbers, and how-they-did-it long-form. Ad-linkable.
Attribution Ad → advertorial → strategy call. Post-close visibility lives in a mix of GoHighLevel, ClickFunnels, and Skool. No single source of truth. Full funnel visibility with unified UTM taxonomy and CRM handoff. Cost-per-Empire-Club-close and cost-per-White-Glove-close, not cost-per-lead.
SEO surface 185+ WordPress URLs, mostly programmatic 2025 STR content. Likely cannibalization. Programmatic content-farm pattern. Auditied and culled. Three high-intent pillar pages carrying the authority. Hub-and-spoke supporting the pillars.
Founder authority Twenty-two years of real STR experience buried under stock-photo social proof. Book, podcast, and 1,023-property member-collective claim underutilized as a compounding brand. The book, the podcast, the member-collective, the four flagship cases, and Shawn's real face load-bearing across every surface. Authority as an asset, not a mention.
§ 06 · The Most Important Expansion

Match the house to the door.

The paid engine already works. The single highest-leverage move is not more spend, more channels, or more advertorials. It is rebuilding the post-click infrastructure so it compounds what paid is already earning.

Anchor thesis

Port the /success-stories/ evidence standard up. Consolidate the offer stack into canonical URLs. Everything else compounds from there.

A trust-layer rebuild is not a rebrand. It is a photograph of what the business already is — twenty-two years of real STR experience, 1,023 acquired properties, four named case studies waiting to be published — put on the surfaces where the paid door lands.

  1. Homepage v2. Replace the four client#.jpg stock testimonials with four flagship case studies (Destin, $2.29M→$7M scaler, +2) rendered as real photos with named members and exact numbers. Below the fold, port the /success-stories/ dated-screenshot proof up to the homepage as secondary evidence.
  2. Canonical Empire Club sales page. /empire-club/ on vodyssey.com. One URL that renders the $9,800 offer as a discrete artifact — inclusion list, member outcomes, and the strategy call as the single CTA.
  3. Canonical White Glove sales page. /white-glove/ on vodyssey.com. Same shape, higher tier, discrete artifact. Ends the current confusion where the $25K offer only exists in a strategy call transcript.
  4. Deindex and redirect the theme demos. /pricing/ and /book-a-demo/ disappear from Google in under fifteen days. Old inbound links redirect to real destinations.
  5. Rebuild /success-stories/ as flagship long-form. Four named case studies as their own scrollable pages, cross-linked from homepage and Empire Club sales page. Signature Properties grid remains as the deep-shelf secondary layer.
  6. Cross-link the advertorial funnel and the trust surface. vodyssey.life advertorials link to a case study and back to the strategy-call scheduler on vodyssey.com. Ends the disconnect between the ad's promise and the site's ability to prove it.
  7. Attribution wire-up. UTM taxonomy shared across vodyssey.life, ClickFunnels, GoHighLevel. CRM handoff so cost-per-Empire-Club-close is a real number, not a modeled one.
§ 07 · The Buyer

Three people. Three doors.

The winning paid doors already read the buyer correctly. What happens after the click is the gap.

Persona I · The $1M+ Tax-Pain Owner

The 500k door.

Founder, professional, or executive earning $1M+ per year. Getting crushed on marginal tax rate. Has heard "real estate" as the answer their whole life but wants nothing to do with tenants, plumbers, or long-term rental hell.
What they Google between the ad and the callReviews of Vodyssey. Reviews of Shawn Moore. "Vodyssey Empire Club worth it." "Vodyssey vs BiggerPockets." "Airbnb tax strategy $1M income."
What they need to see to bookNamed case studies with real photos and specific numbers. A canonical Empire Club page they can send to their spouse or accountant. Zero stock testimonials.
Persona II · The Macro-Anxious Executive

The Quietly door.

Late-career executive or business owner watching the macro environment and asking where the wealth actually goes. Skeptical of the market, skeptical of crypto, done with real estate advice they can't act on without leaving their day job.
What they Google between the ad and the call"Passive real estate income 2026." "STR vs long-term rental." "How much do luxury vacation rentals actually make." Their own city plus "short-term rental market."
What they need to see to bookThe 1,023-property member collective as a photograph, not a stat. The Signature Properties grid — real cities, real homes. An assurance that the Vodyssey team does the work they don't want to do.
Persona III · The Empire Club Member Ready to Level Up

The White Glove upgrade.

Existing Empire Club member. Has bought one or two properties through the system. Wants to scale from a portfolio to a business without becoming an operator themselves.
What they Google before the upgrade call"Vodyssey White Glove reviews." "Vodyssey done-for-you." Their own portfolio's return math against the White Glove fee.
What they need to see to upgradeA canonical White Glove page with inclusion clarity. A case study anchored on a member who did exactly what they're contemplating (the $2.29M→$7M scaler is the exact right anchor). ROI math that is honest.
§ 08 · The Method

Applied to Vodyssey.

The Method is a five-step operating system, not a slide. Here is what each step actually does for Vodyssey in the first ninety days.

  1. DiscoveryAudit the full stack — homepage, /success-stories/, vodyssey.life, ClickFunnels, GoHighLevel, Skool, WordPress SEO. Pull ad-library, publish a baseline funnel dashboard, interview three Empire Club members and one White Glove client for real language and real proof.
  2. StrategyLock the anchor recommendation. Define cost-per-Empire-Club-close as the primary KPI. Define the trust-layer rebuild and offer consolidation as the P0 deliverables. Everything else compounds off these two.
  3. CreativeBuild four flagship case studies as bylined long-form. Rebuild homepage with real member evidence. Draft canonical Empire Club and White Glove sales pages. Deliver ad-refresh creative anchored on real case-study proof, not stock hooks.
  4. LaunchShip the homepage rebuild first (day 30), then canonical sales pages (day 45), then advertorial round two (day 60). Attribution wire-up runs in parallel. Every launch has a rollback path and a measurement plan.
  5. OptimizeWeekly cost-per-close review. Monthly creative iteration on winning advertorial angles. Quarterly authority expansion — book two, podcast pipeline, guest content — once the trust layer is compounding.
§ 16 · Engagement Shapes

Three shapes. One direction.

Three engagement shapes matched to how much of the operating system you want AYMI holding. The recommended shape is the middle one.

Shape I
Foundation
  • TeamOne strategist
  • AI dashboardNot included
  • IncludesCore build + content cadence
Best fit if we want to validate the trust-layer rebuild in isolation before layering full paid + lifecycle.
★ Recommended
Shape II
Growth System
  • TeamOne strategist + paid acquisition lead
  • AI dashboardIncluded
  • IncludesTrust-layer rebuild, offer consolidation, paid engine compounding, lifecycle, attribution
Best fit for Vodyssey today. The paid engine is already at scale; this is the shape that lets it compound instead of leak.
Shape III
Full Authority OS
  • TeamTwo strategists + paid acquisition lead
  • AI dashboardIncluded
  • IncludesEverything in Growth System + executive authority engine, podcast pipeline, book two positioning, guest content
Best fit once the trust layer compounds and Shawn is ready to convert his real authority into a compounding brand asset.
The investment for each is held for the scoping call — we would rather decide together what is in scope first, then price it once the answer is real.
§ 17 · 90-Day Sprint

§ 18 · Proof

Adjacent proof. Named work.

Three AYMI case studies with the closest mechanical match to Vodyssey — high-ticket subscription, authority-brand, and consultative funnel. Plus the four green-lit internal Vodyssey wins ready to publish as your own trust layer.

High-ticket subscription authority
Quicken
  • Premium subs+350%
  • CAC−48%
  • LTV4.1×
Closest mechanical match — a founder-authority brand converting free-to-paid on subscription economics. Same shape.
High-ticket consultative B2B
BCG Digital Ventures
  • Qualified leads+320%
  • Conversion rate+45%
  • ROAS4.5×
The consultative-funnel analogue — high-ticket, sales-conversation-driven, trust-layer-critical.
Audience-brand + retention
A24
  • Social engagement+320%
  • Retention87%
  • Digital ROI4.2×
The audience-brand analogue — proof that treating a business as a brand instead of a funnel compounds.

The Vodyssey four. Four green-lit case studies ready to publish as the rebuilt homepage trust layer. Numbers on the two known — the other two need MK to confirm exact figures before publication.

  • Case I · Destin, FL
    $750K → $1.3M
    Empire Club member — the tax-pain-to-lifestyle-asset arc, the exact persona the 500k door pulls.
  • Case II · Scaler engagement
    $2.29M → $7M+
    The Empire-Club-to-White-Glove upgrade path made visible. Anchor for the $25K tier.
  • Case III · TBC with MK
    Numbers pending
    Third of MK's four green-lit case studies. Names and figures locked in the scoping call.
  • Case IV · TBC with MK
    Numbers pending
    Fourth of MK's four green-lit case studies. Names and figures locked in the scoping call.
§ 19 · Recommendation

Growth System. Now.

The paid engine is already running. The internal case studies are already green-lit. The evidence standard already exists on /success-stories/. Everything Vodyssey needs to compound its earned trust is on the shelf; it just is not on the surfaces the paid door lands on.

Growth System is the shape that ports the shelf up to the front door. The trust-layer rebuild, the offer consolidation, the four flagship case studies, the attribution wire-up, the lifecycle sequences, and the compounding paid engine all run inside a single operating system with a shared source of truth.

The commitment

The webinar closes. The site should too. Ninety days from a locked scope, cost-per-Empire-Club-close is a real number and the front door reflects the twenty-two years of work behind it.

§ 20 · Open Items

Ready when you are.

Everything below is a scoping-call conversation. None of it blocks a start; all of it sharpens the first ninety days.

  • Real Shawn Moore photo access — is the STR Wealth Conference speaker photo the highest-resolution we have, or is there a proper brand-approved press kit / editorial headshot we should use across the rebuild?
  • The other two green-lit case study numbers — the third and fourth of MK's four cleared cases. Names, cities, exact before-and-after revenue, ideal so the flagship pages ship named, not anonymized.
  • Empire Club vs White Glove positioning — should White Glove be positioned as a discrete high-touch upgrade path from Empire Club, or as a parallel offering for pre-qualified $25K prospects?
  • GoHighLevel CRM access — for the full attribution wire-up and lifecycle sequence build.
  • WordPress, ClickFunnels, and Skool developer access — for the trust-layer rebuild and canonical sales-page ship.
  • Podcast pipeline — is Shawn actively guest-podcasting today, or is that a Full Authority OS expansion opportunity for month four onward?
  • vodyssey.life advertorial ownership — does Vodyssey control the domain and the pages directly, or does that ownership live with a paid-media partner? Cross-linking depth depends on the answer.

The webinar closes. The site should too.

Let's rebuild the house to match the door.
