Work is for suckers.

This is not a ‘do what you love’ email.

I’m not talking about the 9- 5, well, a little bit.

Until you have the income you want from your ‘not really working’ online business, your kids still need to eat, and your partner still wants some dry, warm place to sleep.

But I am talking about your online activities.

Some misguided gurus tell you that you have to grind all your spare hours to ‘make it’.

I say B.S.

When I’m riding my bicycle up a hill, I can try to ride up in a high gear, which means I have to put a lot of effort into the crank and grind up the hill, or I can select a lower gear and pedal faster, with less effort to climb.

I’ve noticed that often I go faster in the lower gear than I do when grinding.

Lance Armstrong also said you have to ‘spin it to win it‘.

All of which points to not working as hard to get the same or a better result.

Revising the subject line a little, I’ll say that working hard is for suckers.

You know that I prefer to say that you need to be persistent and consistent.

That’s what makes the difference.

Regards,
Brent.

P.S. Grab one of these free lead magnets, set up a funnel and start finding places to get traffic.

I’ve shown you many ways to get traffic for free in previous emails, and there is a free traffic lead magnet on this page.

Does untargeted traffic work?

Does untargeted traffic work?

All traffic works on some level.

You know the mantra.

You must have targeted traffic to your squeeze and sales pages.

Which is true…

…sort of.

All your visitors have multiple interests.

The person interested in those great shoes is also likely interested in fashion clothing, losing weight, getting fit, finding or keeping a partner, keeping a pet, cooking or eating well, etc.

This means even random people hitting your website may be interested in what you have to offer.

When you think about it, the targeted visitors to your landing or sales page have self-selected by clicking on an ad or a link in a post.

Does this free you up for writing about things that interest you on your blog rather than attempting to tightly focus on a single niche?

I think it does.

I recently analysed a blog and calculated that they were averaging around $0.2 per visitor to their site, but they had roughly 20,000 visitors per day. You can do the maths yourself.

What was their source of visitors?

Pinterest.

I think they need more traffic sources, but that one is working for them.

Do they care about ranking high in the Google search results?

Not likely. Nor do they care about any algorithm changes that Google may make.

SEO? Pfhhh.

Is blogging dead? Doesn’t seem like it to me.

You could do exactly the same with a free blog.

All you need to do is write content and post images or short videos to your blog and Pinterest or whichever high traffic platform you choose.

Regards,
Brent.

P.S. Want a free blog to test this out?

You’ll need around 100 posts to see real traction, but you should be getting some much faster than that.

You could have real money in the bank in time for Christmas if you start today. https://go.wm-tips.com/systeme.

When you build your blog there, you’ll also be able to make landing pages, a funnel, and an email list.

You will need a lead magnet to entice the sign-up on your landing pages.

It happens that I completed the big project, and you get the first look at it.

There are 27 lead magnets that you can download and use for free.

You can also buy the PLR for any one or all of those lead magnets at the best price for now.

Susurrus means what it sounds like.

Susurrus means what it sounds like.

It’s a great word for Scrabble.

Brent Milne

Jun 3

According to one dictionary, susurrus means whispering or rustling.

It’s not a word that many people know and fewer use, but it accurately describes the Tinnitus that I have.

For those who don’t have Tinnitus, it’s a noise heard in one or both ears and can range from a loud squealing or ringing tone to a much softer rushing noise.

For some, it comes and goes, for others, it’s always there.

Mine is the rushing sound, a bit like the sound you get from a radio that’s not on any station or the sound of your computer fan.

It used to come and go, but now it’s a constant companion and has been with me for several years also causing some hearing loss.

Currently, there is no cure despite the claims of some marketers.

Why would I bother you with this?

Simply because I have been accepted into a pilot study at one of the local Universities to trial what may be a cure.

I’m hopeful and looking forward to the experience.

I would love to be able to use the word susurrus in a game of Scrabble rather than to describe what I’m hearing now.

Regards,
Brent.

P.S. I made good progress on the project today even though I went for a ride this morning and the kids came for tea tonight.

Tomorrow I’m expecting to complete the tasks so that you may get access next week.

In the meantime, you’ll need somewhere to build your funnel and email list so you can take advantage of what’s coming.

The best I have found is Systeme.io, https://go.wm-tips.com/systeme.

The free account gives you everything you need to test the system thoroughly, and the paid versions are very affordable.

I feel like the one-armed paper hanger.

Which must look very odd.

There is so much going on that I’m feeling a little rushed.

I’m building a new funnel with some cool stuff in it for you.

You’ll understand why it’s taking longer than I wanted it to when you see it.

I tried to write a shopping cart for this funnel, but that proved extremely difficult, so I abandoned that approach.

The alternative has meant that I have to build over 80 pages in the funnel.

Don’t panic, you definitely will not have to visit every page.

In the meantime, I’ve had a website crash heavily and had to rebuild that, which took around 5 hours.

Then we’ve had the grandies with us for two days, tradespeople working around the house, a problem with my bicycle that needed sorting before tomorrow’s ride, an issue with the bike computer that I still haven’t resolved, plus a host of other minor things.

When you feel overwhelmed, it helps to remember that none of this is a life or death situation, it’s just life as it happens.

The secret is to deal with the urgent things, then the important things, and then whatever else you have time for.

Shuffle those priorities around to suit your circumstances, and it’ll always work out.

Regards,
Brent.

P.S. This is the last time I’ll give you the link to the free short video training page.

I’m only doing it this time because I know that not everyone opens every email.

You should, of course, otherwise you’ll miss out on some really good links because I don’t always run them multiple times.

Anyway, this is the last time you get a direct link to this page.

It’s true. It is a slightly embarrassing situation.

I’ve sent you a link that allowed you to sign up for some free training, which you did – thank you.

But then the Internet gremlins got into the system, and you couldn’t get to the free training.

Please accept my apologies and click this link to take you directly to the page you should have seen.

https://nomad-productions.convertri.com/training-delivery.

As I said, some people might be embarrassed by this turn of events but not I.

There are many working parts to make the Internet work, and sometimes they just don’t.

In this case, though, the Internet gremlin was me.

I put a link in that email you saw to a page I hadn’t built yet, oops.

Go on, I can hear you laughing.

Enjoy my stuff up.

I’ve made worse.

So have Microsoft and Apple, so I’m in good company.

Bottom line?

Test.

Regards,
Brent.
