No, it wasn’t on the dark web, so I suppose it wasn’t really the darkest corner, but it was well concealed.
Amazon S3 is a very inexpensive place to store files.
All files are hidden and protected by default which means that if you want people to be able to download them or watch the videos, you have to make them at least partially public.
Making them public means that Google will find them and list them if you know how to search for them.
When you find one public file, there is usually more that you can discover by URL hacking.
Yesterday I found 49Gb of PLR files in the public space on over 300 topics, mostly to do with Internet Marketing.
At the moment, I haven’t decided what I’ll do with them, but I have downloaded all of them to my overloaded and groaning external drive.
They’ll sit for a while so I can complete the other project I’m working on.
Only two more modules to go, and it’ll be made available.
I underestimated the amount of work I would need to do for this project by about two months, but I will complete it.
Regards, Brent.
P.S. You have probably noticed that I’m a persistent person.
I like to keep the promises I make to myself and for myself.
I cannot promise anything for others because I don’t know what their central motivations are.
I can promise that you and I have mental blocks that prevent peak performance.
I’m clearing mine as I discover them, and some of them I clear without knowing what they are or were.
Your brain does its best to protect you from failure, but it sometimes protects you from success instead.
If you don’t know what they are advertising, the ad hasn’t worked.
And I see a lot of those ads.
Some entertain, some bemuse, but all cost a lot of money to create and even more to put on the television or billboard.
I’ve talked before about companies running Amazon, Facebook, Ebay, etc., ads on Google for their brand name when they would naturally list in the search results pages at #1 for that term.
I’ve seen ads that work and ads that don’t.
Founder of WarriorPlus, Brian Tracy, said, “success leaves clues“.
In this report, some successful advertisements based on client feedback have been analysed based on advertising fundamentals.
I sincerely believe that it will be an eye-opener for you, and I hope you can benefit from it.
Yes, it’s free, but please DO NOT skim through it. If your ads are not converting, most likely, you are NOT doing what is taught in this report.
P.S. I mentioned in yesterday’s email that there was a way to automate the creation and distribution of short videos to YouTube.
You may have found that the training was a little expensive even with the 65% discount.
This is not one of those push-button, Shiny Objects the fake gurus keep flogging to you.
However, I understand that you may struggle to justify the investment, especially when you need to invest in software and other tools to take advantage of the method.
But there is another free traffic method in the OTO that can be used to leverage your initial seed money so you can scale your business.
This method was developed by reverse engineering successful, fast-growing Facebook pages and groups.
Many of these people don’t know what they did right, but the proof the method works is in the PDF.
All the steps are revealed, and there is nothing more to buy once you have the PDF.
So, what’s it worth to you to bypass Facebook’s algorithm and grab fistfuls of free traffic to any niche you want?
I’ve seen products offering free traffic from F.B. that do not work as well as this and cost nearly $1k.
I don’t know how thick, but it was strong enough as I didn’t fall through.
Obvious, really, or I wouldn’t be writing this. Doh.
Today, my wife, our youngest son, and I did the Skywalk in Melbourne.
It’s an interesting experience, as some of you may know, as there are other skywalk experiences in other cities.
Considering that this building in Melbourne is not the tallest in the world and that there are others up to four times taller, the potential for a more extreme experience is out there when we can travel again.
All buildings and cities look very different from overhead than they do on the ground.
The perspectives change significantly.
The same can be said of your personal experiences.
Things like having projects stall, fail or succeed are not crucial in the overall scheme of life.
They should not determine your happiness.
Your happiness should be set by your sense that you have done your best with your current knowledge and information.
The outcome can be changed as your experience grows.
But, you have to take some action to get a result that you can build on.
Regards, Brent.
P.S. With any campaign, some moving parts must be managed by you or outsourced.
I do not suggest you outsource anything until you know how to get the desired result yourself.
Failure to do that will usually mean that you cannot assess the outsourcer’s work or direct it correctly.
You can begin learning how to make this work using only free tools that you possibly already have.
With the rapid rise in A.I. content creation and the speed with which it’s improving, is it cheating to use it?
Or will you be left behind by those who do?
Google has said they won’t rank any A.I. created content, but that’s incorrect because I know that A.I. content is already ranking.
Of course, Google uses A.I. to evaluate and rank your pages now, which means the Google search results page is A.I. generated.
If humans cannot pick the difference, then how does Google think they’ll be able to find it?
I’ve read a few 1500-word articles written with Article Forge, https://www.clkmg.com/Burtm10/aftrial, that are good enough to be added to Amazon short reads or as the main content on a blog.
You can get a free 5-day trial with the link above and check out some articles written with Article Forge.
In 5 days, with a concerted effort, you could have a year’s worth of content written and downloaded to your computer.
You could also do a similar thing with Frase, https://go.wm-tips.com/frase, the other excellent A.I. writing assistant.
As I said earlier, your competitors will be using these tools.
I read on a Kindle White because I can finish one book and start the next one immediately.
It also always opens where I left off last time.
This makes it ideal for reading all those times you’re waiting.
The doctors, the dentists, restaurants, cafes, airports, while travelling, etc.
Stop-start reading with a dead-tree mode book is a pain, but the Kindle removes that pain.
Think of the pain points your product or the affiliate product relieves.
These pain points are what you need to highlight on your sales pages.
Present the pain and twist the knife to make the pain more intense.
Then you can present the product as pain relief.
You’ll get more sales with this than by presenting the product’s benefits alone.
Regards, Brent.
P.S. My main email service, Sendy, has upgraded again, which means that I have to plump down some more money and go through the pain of a manual upgrade.
While I have the technical ability to do these upgrades, I didn’t do the last one because I find them cumbersome.
When I pay for a tool, I expect to be able to upgrade it if it needs one by clicking a button.
I like using Amazon SES as the email sending service, which Sendy uses because it’s very inexpensive.
Another email service uses Amazon SES, but it only has broadcast capabilities and no autoresponder capabilities yet.
The only low-cost email service I have been able to find that has a reasonable send or subscriber limit is systeme.io.
Even their free service has decent limits, which allows you to build a subscriber list and grow a campaign to profitable before you need to pay anything.
They don’t have Amazon SES as an option yet, but they have SendGrid and ActiveCampaign integration capabilities if you already have accounts there.
I’ll be migrating more and more to Systeme.io because they’re delivering some of my emails now with no issues, and it’s an easy platform to use.
