When bad things happen to writers…

Bad things happen to everyone.

When bad things happen to writers…

…they write about them and create great things.

Poets, novelists, scriptwriters, etc., all turn bad stuff into great poems, books and movies.

You can do the same with your emails.

Not only can you turn the crap into gold, but you can ramp it up to make it even crappier before you turn it into gold.

This is story-telling at its finest.

Humans are genetically wired to pay attention to stories.

Stories have been central to human development since we began painting on cave walls.

Paintings superseded speech.

When we developed speech, we combined paintings with stories about the images.

As civilisation developed, the stories became the central part, and the images enhanced the stories.

Now people can visualise the story without pictures, but sometimes we still use actual images rather than visualised ones.

This is why we enhance the story with stronger verbs and ramp up the emotion.

It helps the reader visualise what you are trying to share.

It’s not lying.

It’s embellishment to make the story live.

Regards,
Brent.

P.S. I said in the last email that I would have the offer of White Label for my products available for you today, but (you knew I was going to say that) it’s not ready.

It was my wife’s birthday today, and we have been doing birthday things all day.

What you will need for this to work is a Convertri account.

Is your computer overloaded like mine?

It’s not smoking…yet.

I just counted.

I have four web browsers open.

Each has between two and four windows open and somewhere between two and thirty tabs in each window.

On top of that, I have nine different programs running, including the one I’m using to write this email.

That one happens to be Grammarly.

Grammarly has 96 pages in it which I think load each time it opens, that may not be true, it may only load an image of the page.

Unsurprisingly, only 1/4 of the memory is available for anything to run in.

The poor thing is struggling.

And yet it still keeps going.

It allows me to open more programs as I require them and even build videos and render them.

But I think it’s collapsing on me because the screen colours change randomly, and the fan runs regularly.

Hopefully, it doesn’t die before I have a replacement in hand.

What’s your computer like?

Will you be able to buy a replacement?

Regards,
Brent.

P.S. Do you have a Convertri account?

If you don’t, you can get a free trial here https://go.wm-tips.com/Convertri.

It’s not ready yet, but I’ll have an offer for you to grab several of my best-selling products as white label rights tomorrow.

With Convertri, I can give you the code, and you can import the entire funnel instantly.

All you need to do after that is add your autoresponder details and your payment processor details and make any edits you like to the funnel.

There is no need to build out the funnel yourself because it’s all done.

If you have other websites that you want to import to Convertri, it’s as easy as pasting in the URL and waiting for the import to complete.

Some pages need a bit of editing after that, but most come in clean.

More details tomorrow.

This happens when you don’t have a scheduled time to write and queue your emails.

I’ve been watching the Tour de France, and I write some of my emails after the telecast ends, which happens to be 1 am for me.

Since I queue the emails for 9 am (my time) the following day, I have to be extra vigilant that I’m setting them up for the correct day.

Clearly, that hasn’t happened. DOH!

I can do better, OK?

From your perspective, it should give you the confidence to write emails yourself.

You’ve watched me make mistake after mistake.

I suspect that I have made nearly all of them now, so you don’t have to make them all yourself.

Regards,
Brent.

P.S. In my last email, I let you know about a report I wrote about getting your web pages indexed fast.

When you want to get search engine traffic, the first step is getting your pages indexed.

The methods explained in the report will get your pages indexed very quickly.

Some of the platforms shared will also help you get ranking points, and some will not.

Ranking is best done with other methods, but indexing is the first step toward ranking.

You can use these methods to get the web spiders to check out your blog comment, which has a link to your website.

They work with videos, podcasts, document sharing sites, articles in directories, etc.

Anywhere you link to your main site is fodder for these methods.

Check it out https://nomad-productions.convertri.com/spidertickling.

How fast can you get a web page indexed?

Does it take hours or days?

Why do you care?

You probably don’t give a rats if you’re driving traffic to your web pages via Solo ads or another paid traffic source.

But, if you want to get some of the free traffic that search engines can deliver, you might want to get your pages indexed as quickly as possible.

I was in a discussion in a Facebook group regarding getting some web pages indexed.

The discussion was initiated because the person asking the question had 100 links to their main site on web pages that hadn’t been indexed.

That meant that those links were not doing anything for them.

Indexing doesn’t mean ranking.

It means that the Google or Bing bots have found the page and also the pages the links go to.

If the bots don’t find you, then you cannot get indexed or ranked, and with no links to your pages, they cannot find you.

So indexing is an essential first step.

My experience with the Google Webmaster Tools suggests that indexing is not guaranteed when you use them, but the methods I shared work and work very fast.

Pages get indexed in seconds sometimes, minutes often and rarely take more than an hour or two.

After that discussion, I decided that there must be others who need the same information.

I spent the afternoon putting a small report together, which you can access here https://nomad-productions.convertri.com/spidertickling.

It’s a quick read, no-fluff pdf for you.

You could have a page indexed in less than an hour.

Regards,
Brent.

Do you have a task management tool?

Do you have a task management tool?

They can make life much easier.

By that, I mean a tool that tells you what you need to do today to keep progressing towards your goals.

I’ve written and used several of these over the years for personal and corporate purposes, and they can be superb.

The catch for most of them is that you have to open them daily to get the help.

I built one for work once which was brilliant.

It followed the work sequence we had to follow and simplified the action and reporting steps.

My boss asked me for a report on where my work progress was when I went on leave.

I printed the report out in minutes for him.

Despite proving how much more efficient the tool made me, I could not convince management to implement it for the rest of the group.

I no longer have that tool, but I’m writing another one specifically for Internet Marketing.

It won’t be a project management tool.

It’ll be a tasks management tool.

How long will it take me?

I don’t know yet, but I’m expecting to have a basic beta version running in a week or so.

You’ll be the first to hear.

Regards,
Brent.

P.S. There’s a massive and growing demand from people who want to learn how to make money online.

You have an advantage over most of them because you’ve been getting training through my emails and other sources for some time now.

However, you may not feel confident about teaching others how to do this.

Today is your lucky day.

Here, https://nomad-productions.convertri.com/1k-landing is a free training funnel that will teach people how to make their first $1,000 online.

It’s a series of videos laying out the steps required.

Fine, you say, but how does that help me?

You can get the PLR to this funnel to give it away and change the links to your affiliate links.

If you have a Convertri account, I can give you the import code, so you don’t even have to build the funnel, not that doing that is hard.

It’s all in the bundle anyway, making it simple to set up.

You get to build your email list with people interested in making money, and you can earn affiliate commissions in the process.

Too easy.

For example, I’m having a messenger conversation in German with a native speaker, but I don’t speak German.

Not entirely true, I can order beer in German, but not much else.

Anyway, the tool I’m using must do a reasonably good job of the translation because there haven’t been any misunderstandings yet.

I had a conversation with an Indonesian that also seemed to progress appropriately.

So why do I have misunderstandings with other native English speakers?

I suspect that it’s due to the different ways we use grammar and the different meanings we have for some words.

The old saying that we are divided by a common language comes to mind.

Even within English-speaking countries, there are misunderstandings brought about by these same issues.

Undoubtedly, other countries have similar issues with the ever-changing and evolving languages as our world rolls on.

Despite that complexity, our ability to communicate across borders is increasing rapidly with the growth and improvement in translation software.

Have you thought about using these translation tools to create different versions of your sales pages, lead magnets and products?

I know that most people target English-speaking countries for sales, but that means the others have less competition.

You never know.

You might hit a nerve and generate more sales in those countries than you do with your usual targeting.

Regards,
Brent.

P.S. You can use the translation tools to create videos as well.

There are text-to-speech tools that will read your translated text in the language of that text.

Sure, A.I.-generated voices are not as good as natural voices, but they are better than no voice.

If you want better quality voices, you could find someone on Fiverr or Fourerr to read them out for you and then add the voice track to the video.

Get started with simple videos here.
