You would have seen many of these.
Mostly on YouTube, but also on Socials etc.
They claim things like, “I made $20k in two days with this AI prompt/tool”.
Sure they did.
Realistically, they might have, but what they don’t reveal is that they have built a massive audience first.
That might have been built over multiple years, so now, when they release something, the sales flood in.
It has very little to do with their product.
It has a lot to do with their existing audience.
Then, once people are hooked, they sell another $10k+ worth of ‘here’s exactly how I did it.’
Please don’t misunderstand me here.
This is not a grizzle.
I know people who do talk about their income and they’re upfront about how they do it.
The people I don’t like are those who are less than honest about the reality of the big windfall.
Those who want to pretend that it’s their amazing prompt or tool that made the money when anyone without a big audience would find that it didn’t do the same for them.
Unfortunately, it seems that there are many people online who are far more interested in their bank account than yours even as they tell you otherwise.
However, the information you need to build your audience, so you can have those nice paydays, is scattered across the Internet.

Unfortunately, I need to write one because I messed up.
The link in the last two emails, https://link.ckv.to/disappear, didn’t work because I made a mistake.
The link is to a Google doc and I hadn’t set the link to public.
So, if you clicked it and couldn’t get to the page, that’s why.
100% my fault.
Feel free to click the link now and go to the page as you should have the first time.
The reason I detest emails with a subject line like “I fixed the link” or similar is that I think most of the time it’s a lie.
It’s just a stunt to get you to click the link.
With those emails, the link usually worked the whole time, that’s the giveaway.
In my case, if you clicked it when I first sent it, it actually failed.
The URL was always right, the doc’s permissions weren’t, and that’s fixed now.
Regardless, that’s why I detest those type of emails.
Regards, Brent.

Boy, don’t we see this everywhere.
I don’t know the real answer, but I suspect somewhere north of 80% of all content on the Internet is opinion, not fact, and definitely not knowledge.
I watched a video recently which stated that a particular mix of liquids would preserve wood.
It would also bring old wood back to new condition.
I have a deck that needs resurfacing or rebuilding.
I made this mix up and tried it out.
No, it does not work as promised.
I’m not sure why I was surprised.
I use YouTube for all sorts of things and find that I’ll often need to watch several videos on the same subject before I find one that works.
But, I’m happy to test things.
I rarely take something at face value.
Perhaps I’m just naturally sceptical.
Perhaps it’s because I have found many instances where a promised outcome didn’t eventuate.
The information I dug up about dementia is based on real medical studies, so I suspect it’s accurate.
The studies behind it aren’t from the popular press.
They’re from Framingham, the NIH, and the University of Queensland.
In any case, this is the regime I’m now following, even though my wife doesn’t like the smell of sardines.
