We all know what we should do every day, but mostly we don’t. Even the simple stuff, like doing the work that moves the needle before you hit Facebook or read your emails. I do that some days, but mostly not. Even this almost daily email gets written at various times throughout the day.

Beginners know nothing or very little, so you’ll be able to help them more easily, but they’ll frustrate the crap out of you because they are always looking for the “easy button”, and there isn’t one.
Anything related to marketing, health, fishing, basketball, or any business, sport, or hobby has steps that you must complete and gain some proficiency in before you can do it smoothly.
Beginners always want a shortcut.
Beginners always want free or low-cost options and tools.
Once people get beyond the beginner stage, they realise that progress will require investment in knowledge.
That might come from a mentor, coach, better training courses, masterminds, etc.
None of those will be cheap or push-button simple.
All of them will pay off and help those people gain much bigger benefits than the cost.
The costs increase as those people progress from the intermediate stage to the expert stage, as do their returns.
One highly experienced marketer I know paid $1,000 to a mentor for a one-hour phone consultation.
There was a nugget of information dropped in the first 15 minutes that paid that $1k back in the first month and has increased the earnings every month since.
That’s what you get when you pay for information from someone who is making more money than you.
What you get for free or at a low cost is usually generalist information.
You can use that to get started.
What you get when you pay for information are specifics that push your business forward.
Warrior Plus, JVZoo, YouTube, and ClickBank are not the places to get that expert knowledge.
Most of what you’ll get there is generalist information, that might be out of date, regardless of the cost.
It’s not a very good one, I’m blaming being in too much of a rush. Some of you will have noticed that there wasn’t an email yesterday. I was thinking that it would have been due to free camping, but it wasn’t. It was really due to me forgetting to bring my mobile internet modem with me.
Let’s assume that you have a great title and bullets for your squeeze page. You get a 55% subscriber rate, but your promise is greater than your delivery. Your subscribers are underwhelmed. They’ll take one of three possible actions at this stage. They unsubscribe.
Let’s assume that you have a great title and bullets for your squeeze page.
You get a 55% subscriber rate, but your promise is greater than your delivery.
Your subscribers are underwhelmed.
They’ll take one of three possible actions at this stage.
They unsubscribe.
They don’t unsubscribe, but they don’t open your emails.
They flag your emails as spam.
None of those steps helps you.
Some of them will actively impede your progress.
All because you couldn’t be arsed to make sure you delivered more value than you promised.
We both know that value is in the eye of the beholder so even when you deliver great value, there will be some who don’t hold it in the same high esteem that you do.
However, if what you’ve produced is not the best you can deliver an even greater percentage of your subscribers will think it’s sub-standard.
I’ve also been guilty of this, so don’t think I’m picking on you.
There is nothing worse for a potential subscriber than clicking a link that fails. It’s just happened to me and it annoys me. Now I have to delete an app and unsubscribe all because the link loaded a page with nothing on it. I don’t know why it didn’t work, but this is for an Australia-wide promotion, so how do you think it will go?

I suspect that this whole promotion costs thousands of dollars when you include the printed cards with the QR code on them and the app in the app store.
You might have come across this before as well.
You sign up for something, you download the PDF, and the links in the PDF don’t work.
Either the website no longer exists, you get a 404 page, the videos don’t load, etc.
Always check your links.
Always check your funnel.
When you have an email sequence, sign up for it with a unique email address and make sure the autoresponder is working.
Once you have tested everything you can, you’ll have an excellent chance of building an email list that will respond to your emails.
Disappointed people unsubscribe or, worse, mark your emails as spam.
A simple step that is neglected by even experienced marketers, if you believe the emails that say, “link fixed”, which I don’t.
Pro tip: You can always go back to their previous email where the link didn’t work and test it.
I usually don’t bother though.
If I didn’t open the email before, there is no compelling reason to open their subsequent email.
Check your links, funnels, and autoresponder work.
The knowledge you’ll gain can be used over and over to build tiny little businesses that run on autopilot to generate small passive profits every month.
You’ll even discover a brick-simple way to generate free traffic that keeps flowing.
Do you play games? Not just video games but any sort of game. The thing about games is most of them have a beginning and a defined end. It might be time-based, score-based, or some other criteria, but they are nearly all finite in scope. So how would you turn traffic generation into a game?
So how would you turn traffic generation into a game?
You create challenges for yourself.
For 30 days you challenge yourself to create two videos a day and upload them to YouTube.
Or, for 30 days, you challenge yourself to post one 1,000-word article to your blog every day.
Or, for 30 days you challenge yourself to create and launch a product every day.
You get the idea.
Your challenge is personal.
You set the challenge, the rules, and the time frame.
If you miss a day you have to catch up.
You might have a schedule like this.
1 hour research.
1 hour creation.
1 hour launch/post/upload.
Done beats perfect.
Doing the work will teach you how to get better.
Consistency will always beat any competition.
After 30 days you’ll have an audience.
You’ll probably have made some money.
You’ll be set to make a lot more, and you’ll know exactly how to do that.
I’m prepared to bet that fewer than one in ten of those who read this email will do this.
Prove me wrong.
Regards, Brent.
P.S. When you follow the instructions and method in this, https://go.wm-tips.com/diamond, you’ll short-cut the research and product creation from hours to minutes.
…it’s been hammered to death, in the wrong way. Almost every traffic training product out there talks about this super simple method of getting instant free traffic, but with the wrong approach and it doesn’t work like that anymore. We all know that the best free traffic source is the Google search results page when you’re in the first 10 results.
Almost every traffic training product out there talks about this super simple method of getting instant free traffic, but with the wrong approach and it doesn’t work like that anymore.
We all know that the best free traffic source is the Google search results page when you’re in the first 10 results.
There are two ways to get there for free.
One takes a lot of work, the other doesn’t.
The first way is to create a lot of content, the second doesn’t need much content.
The first way requires you to get a lot of high-quality backlinks, the second doesn’t.
Both ways require a bit of research, but not as much for the second way.
OK, here are the steps for the second way.
Choose your niche – one problem, one solution.
Find places where people are talking about or asking questions about the problem.
Find questions related to the solution you’re going to offer.
Answer those questions and link out to either a more extensive answer plus a link to a sales page, or link directly to a sales page.
You don’t need a website for this, but if you have one, you can collect email addresses before sending them a summary of the solution and link to the sales page.
All you are looking for are the Q&A-type platforms that rank for the keywords you’re after.
Places like forums, Quora, Reddit, etc.
Use AI to help you with answers to the questions and make sure your answer is the best one there.
They already rank so your answer will grab a slice of the available free traffic.
You could be making sales within hours of setting this up.

In my last email, I talked about the logistics of getting 1,000 raving fans. To do that you need 30 new people coming into your orbit every day for 10 years. That’s 30 new subscribers to your email list, YouTube channel, or Facebook group every day for 10 years.
There is a theory that states “whatever you do, if you have 1,000 raving fans, you will make an above average income”. What is a “raving fan”? Well, it is someone who totally “gets” what you do. It’s easy to imagine a musician who has 1,000 people who buy
There is a theory that states “whatever you do, if you have 1,000 raving fans, you will make an above average income”.
What is a “raving fan”?
Well, it is someone who totally “gets” what you do.
It’s easy to imagine a musician who has 1,000 people who buy everything they put out – music and merch - and buys a ticket to every gig.
That is a core audience who will tell others and help get other fans (some of whom will become raving too).
Like a snowball.
It’s the same with authors, they also have fans who buy everything they write and salivate at the thought of another new book.
So let’s get back to that one thing that separates those people.
Yup.
An audience.
And within that audience, some raving fans.
When you see a load of impressive screenshots on sales pages and the like, it is not the product that is being sold that is responsible for those figures.
It is because the marketer has an audience.
Sure, the product being sold may well work.
The training may be solid.
If it’s a DFY product, it may be proven to convert well.
But until you have an audience built, don’t think it will bring you the money you see on the screenshots.
Yet.
While you will be earning a fantastic income way before you get 1,000 raving fans, what would it take to reach that number?
Well, I reckon on average you would need to kiss around 100,000 frogs.
Not all at once, but over time.
To reach that in 10 years’ time, you need around 30 new people coming into your orbit each day.
Bloody hell…that sounds a lot!
It is…but…
…as I said, you don’t need 1,000 raving fans to make a good living.
For every raving fan you find, you will have 10,15 or more who’ll buy occasionally.
So you will make plenty on the way.
The takeaway here is the one thing everyone should be focused on is growth.
Most of your time should be spent on that one thing….
We’ve all been sucked into the idea that we can get a result with very little work. The sales pages are brilliantly crafted. They’re crafted better than the products they sell, that’s for sure. When you get sucked into buying one of these, it’s not your fault
