Reportedly, the last words of Ned Kelly before he was hanged in 1880 at the age of 26.
He had been convicted of the murder of three police officers.
Ned Kelly is perhaps the most famous of Australia’s bushrangers.
His first arrest was at age 14, but the charges were dropped due to lack of evidence.
Some people see him as a hero who stood up against the injustices by the authorities against his family, while others see him as a criminal and murderer.
The situation he is most famous for was his last stand against the police at Glenrowan, Victoria.
Famous because he wore homemade armour as he walked into a hail of gunfire.
It was a good idea but not implemented well because Ned was wounded and captured.
It was a fair fight.
There were 30 police to the 4 in the Kelly gang.
It’s not sure how the others died.
The police set fire to the Inn where they had taken cover.
The plan was to smoke them out, but they died instead.
Perhaps by suicide, perhaps due to the fire, perhaps from the police gunfire.
None of the police were killed, but some were injured.
An old military adage is that if you find yourself in a fair fight, you didn’t plan your mission properly.
We visited Glenrowan today, where the celebration of Ned Kelly is about the only thing the town has going for it.
I don’t doubt that Ned wasn’t an upstanding citizen, but there is a possibility that he might have only been a minor criminal and, therefore, could have been a politician if the police hadn’t hammered his family quite so much.
Life was tough enough in Australia in the 1800s but especially hard for the Kelly family.
Ned’s father was a transported convict and died after a 5-month prison term with hard labour for the minor infraction of being in possession of a hide believed to be stolen.
Ned was 12 then, which is a tough thing for a kid to accept.
When you believe yourself to be a victim, and you behave as a victim, you can never escape that world.
For every person like Ned Kelly, there is another who went through similar hardships but didn’t end up on the wrong side of the law.
99% of the time, that’s because they refused to be a victim.
What has happened in the past does not have to determine the future.
The future belongs to those who shape it by their daily actions.
To shape your future to one of financial security, you’ll need to take some action daily.
A virtual private network (VPN) is an often-overlooked tool that can significantly improve the efficiency and security of your affiliate marketing business. While not mandatory for running affiliate campaigns, a VPN offers a plethora of benefits that can streamline operations, especially if you manage websites across different countries.
A virtual private network (VPN) is an often-overlooked tool that can significantly improve the efficiency and security of your affiliate marketing business.
While not mandatory for running affiliate campaigns, a VPN offers a plethora of benefits that can streamline operations, especially if you manage websites across different countries.
It allows you to browse the web using an IP address from virtually anywhere in the world, creating a private network over a public one.
This capability is invaluable for bypassing geographic restrictions, conducting accurate competitive analysis, tailoring offers to the right audience, and ensuring improved security.
Why Every Affiliate Marker Needs a VPN:
1. Eliminates Geographic Restrictions: A VPN allows access and running campaigns without being hindered by location-based restrictions. This is crucial for affiliates working with offers in multiple countries.
2. Accurate Competitive Analysis: A VPN enables a more accurate view of search results and PPC traffic competition by masking your actual location.
It also simplifies the process of analysing how advertisers execute their retargeting strategies.
3. Tailored Offers for Different Audiences: Compliance with various countries’ regulations and advertising guidelines becomes manageable with a VPN. It aids in customising your websites and offers to meet the specific needs of diverse audiences, avoiding potentially costly errors.
4. Improved Security: For those who often connect to the internet via public WiFi, a VPN ensures privacy and protection against potential cyber threats, safeguarding sensitive information and accounts.
Some top-recommended VPN services for affiliate marketers include PureVPN, Surfshark, NordVPN, ExpressVPN, IPVanish, and OverPlay.
With the increasing demand for VPN services, affiliates have the opportunity to join VPN affiliate programs, opening up a new avenue for generating recurring revenue.
Incorporating a VPN into your toolkit enhances your operational capabilities and contributes to the overall security and efficiency of your affiliate marketing business.
Whether you aim to optimise your campaigns or explore new revenue streams through VPN services, embracing this emerging trend could be a game-changer for your business.
P.S. As an affiliate marketer, safeguarding your online activity is crucial.
Using a VPN ensures your browsing data remains private and secure, protecting you from potential cyber threats and maintaining the confidentiality of your marketing strategies.
A VPN also allows you to access geo-restricted content, enabling you to research global market trends and competitor strategies without limitations.
Boost your affiliate success by investing in a reliable VPN and enjoy peace of mind while navigating the digital landscape.
The most secure VPN is ProtonVPN, but there are many others to choose from.
Have you ever considered what could happen if bribing officials became more competitive? Some departments might offer special deals. The police might offer 1/2 price fines plus one ‘get out of jail free’ card for minor crimes. These are some of the dumb things that wander through my head when driving long distances.
The stats vary a bit from year to year, but overall, the statement is true, and it usually takes between 5 and 7 years. The question is, why? The answer is that most of them had no previous experience managing any money, let alone a windfall like a lottery win.
Yes, it is possible to make a million in a relatively short time online, but it is unlikely.
Not because you’re stupid but because you don’t have the experience yet.
You get experience by doing.
Make landing pages and send traffic.
You don’t really need any product initially.
You can offer something and find out if people will subscribe to it.
The next page can say, “This is a marketing test. When we have sufficient interest, we will send you a link to download it. If you choose to unsubscribe immediately, an email with an unsubscribe link has been sent to you.”
Alternatively, you can use AI to create a helpful lead magnet.
If no one subscribes, you have lost nothing but the time spent creating the landing page and whatever the traffic cost.
This is no different from those web pages that say, “Under Construction.”
Some of those domains never get any content.
You have to do something, though, or nothing will happen.
Something I’m really good at when I’m reading, but not so much at any other time. Being easily distracted is good and bad. On the one hand, being easily distracted means you are far more likely to notice odd things going on around you. This is actually a survival skill.
TrafficWave, one of the autoresponders I use every day, is closing down. I’ll have to migrate all my subscribers to another autoresponder and perhaps some or all of my funnels. That’s a right PITA because my wife and I are off on holiday again starting Friday.
Knock, knock, knock. My heart did a double flip. I don’t get visitors here, so who could that be? At the door were two police officers and a young man I knew. We’ll call him Shags because that was his nickname. What the hell do they want? Then came the request.

Then came the request.
Not from the police, but from Shags.
“Can you lend me $75?”
“I’ll pay you back, but I need it to pay my fine, or I’ll be taken to jail right now.”
It didn’t occur to me that if he hadn’t been able to put the money together to pay his fine to avoid going to jail, the chances of me getting my money back were slim to none when the pressure of a negative outcome had been reduced.
Have you ever been put in one of these situations?
It doesn’t matter what you do, you lose.
If I don’t pay his fine for him, he goes to jail, and his family will blame me.
Perhaps even take some retribution for my ‘failing to help him out’.
He may have a grudge after he is released and seek retribution.
If I do pay his fine, I’ll lose the $75.
Being a soft touch then, I paid his fine and kept him out of jail.
No, I was never paid back.
His family didn’t shower me with love and affection.
Did I do him a favour?
I’m not sure, but I doubt it.
I haven’t had anything to do with him or his family in a very long time, but I doubt he has developed into a fine, upstanding human being.
What did I get from that?
This email.
The thing about money is that you can always get more of it.
The thing about relationships with others is that you can always develop new ones.
One thing you can never do is change what you did in the past, but you can change your future by what you do today.
Small decisions today are the stepping stones to your brighter future.
Every decision has a consequence.
You get to choose some of those consequences every time.
P.S. The first step towards your brighter, more financially secure future is figuring out how to encourage people to buy through your link or your product.
To do that, you’ll need to find one pain point for which you can provide one solution.
Do that, and people will not need to be sold with a snazzy sales page.
They’ll pay whatever it takes to make the pain go away.
Drug dealers know that and use it.
Shiny Object sellers know that and use it.
Medical professionals know that and use it.
Politicians know that and use it.
There are more, but you get the point.
The difference between them and you is that you know that your solution stops the pain.
Most of the others don’t want the pain to stop because that stops their income.
But when you stop the pain in one area, you can always find more pain points for which to find solutions.
I was initially suspicious because when there is a political leak, it’s never an accident. It’s always a deliberate leak in an attempt to gain some political advantage. It’s also often taken completely out of context. As I said, I was suspicious, but apparently,
Here’s a little story to prove that statement. Let’s take the “How many kW to run a house” keyword in the solar energy market. According to the Keywords Everywhere tool, this phrase has 0 searches per month, but it came up in the People Also Ask list.
P.S. By the way, Google is still reporting that over 30% of the millions of keywords that are searched every day have never been searched before.
When you write articles and make videos based on those supposedly zero-volume keywords, you’ll automatically include keywords that haven’t been searched yet.
That’s free traffic in spades.
There’s no point in calling Saul; you’ll have to do it yourself.
One of the biggest challenges for any membership site owner is how long the membership period should be. Many of them, mine included, have a monthly subscription sometimes with a reduced price for a 12-month subscription. There are two problems with that structure.
One of the biggest challenges for any membership site owner is how long the membership period should be.
Many of them, mine included, have a monthly subscription sometimes with a reduced price for a 12-month subscription.
There are two problems with that structure.
The first one is that many people will sign up for a month and then unsubscribe after they have stripped any freebies, without really diving into the regular content.
While some people are happy to go with a 12-month subscription, that also locks the owner into delivering for 12 months, which grows as more people subscribe.
Every new subscriber locks in the next 12 months for them and the owner.
While that’s nice, it’s also restrictive.
You can’t just walk away until the last subscriber has seen out their 12 months.
It’s good because long-term subscribers have a full opportunity to understand the content as it is delivered.
There is a better subscription period.
It gives the subscribers time to fully immerse themselves in the content without feeling rushed.
It prevents the slam bam, thank you, mam, typical of the single-month subscriber.
That period is 90 days.
You wouldn’t offer a monthly or yearly subscription for that period.
Depending on your pricing, this will not seem like the financial hit that a 12-month subscription would be, and yet it would be possible to charge a higher monthly fee than you might otherwise.
Instead of the $27 x 3 = $81 that a monthly subscription might cost over three months, you could charge $90 – $100 quarterly, which is less than a coffee a day.
Of course, you still need to supply decent content that justifies that subscription level, but that’s not as hard as it might seem.
