I think I’m now immune to FOMO. So many of the emails in my inbox include some variation on “Only one hour before it closes” or “Last chance to get …” I don’t open them anymore. Mostly because I’ve already checked out the product and decided against buying it.

I don’t open them anymore.
Mostly because I’ve already checked out the product and decided against buying it.
If I open the email, it’s because I want to buy it but decided to wait, but usually, if I wanted to buy it, I would have already done so.
The funny thing is that if you go to some of those “last chance” sales pages after the end date, you can still buy them at the original price even though the countdown timer is now at zero.
Not all of them, to be sure, but enough of them that the FOMO thing no longer works.
I will not use fake scarcity on you.
Nor will I remove a product from sale unless it doesn’t sell, in which case there is no point leaving it online.
I refunded the buyer, which surprised them, and removed the product from sale.
AI has made that product redundant, so it will probably never return.
There is one marketer who uses FOMO brilliantly.
He offers one of his products for sale for a few days and then takes it off the market.
In six months to a year, he’ll offer the same product again for a few days and then remove it again.
People on his email list are now trained to buy when the product is available, if they want it, because they know that they might have to wait a long time to get another chance to buy.
He is the only marketer who works this way as far as I know.
His name is Tony Shepherd, and you can get an insider’s view into his business and how he runs it here: https://go.wm-tips.com/asal.
When you join his insiders club, he will show you everything, but he also explains each step in each product he creates because each product reveals a little more about how he does things.
No other marketer will let you inside their business like Tony does.
You know that you need to be working on something if you want to make more money, so here’s a little checklist you can use when you’re not sure what you should be working on to further your goals. It’s really simple. If you want to make more money:
You know that you need to be working on something if you want to make more money, so here’s a little checklist you can use when you’re not sure what you should be working on to further your goals.
It’s really simple.
If you want to make more money:
1. Make more offers… 2. To more people… 3. More often…
That’s it.
If you only have one product, you can create multiple offers for it to change it up.
Different bonuses, etc.
Feature different primary benefits, etc. Or expand your service and product catalogue if you want.
Grow your list of prospects, audiences, and followings.
Use content and incentivise them into subscribing or agreeing to further contact.
Always be putting stuff out there that is designed to draw more people in. Message existing prospects frequently.
This is who you make those offers to.
If you feel like you’ve maxed out one channel – if it grows automatically and makes new offers daily, for example – then pursue a new niche and start again.
Perhaps I’m getting too far ahead…
If you focus on doing one or more of those three things every day, you can only grow.
Look for ways to automate those tasks, and you’ve got some of that there “passive income” people wish for.

P.S. Here is one way to quickly create more offers to the same subscribers.
The timeframe is different, but that’s about all. When you write an app, you’re looking to solve a problem. It might be to automate something, or it might be to create a tool. It’s the same with an online business. Most of the products you create or market as an affiliate are trying to solve a problem for the client.
P.S. Gene is still running his special for the domain name email.
The last one I got had 245 domain names for immediate registration.
The list included gems such as an arthritis one, a golf one, a weight loss one, some for local businesses, etc.
Of course, I can’t show you the domain names, as that wouldn’t be fair to the subscribers, but I can say that those I mentioned were still available at normal domain name prices when I wrote this email.
Yeah, weird name, right? There are several ways to get a great domain name. You can brainstorm them and then find out if they’re available. You can search the expired domain name lists on multiple platforms. Or you can get a list of high-quality domain names
I get regular notifications that I have “signed in from a different location” or some similar message. The odd thing is that when I am in a different location, I don’t get those notifications any more often. Anyone with an Internet connection via a wireless, mobile ‘phone network, or satellite but doesn’t have a fixed IP address will get these.

You can get them even if you’re on a fibre or copper network, but less often.
Most of these messages complain about a different IP address showing up at a different location.
Tonight I got one that told me I was in the Northern Territory.
I’m not.
I’m in Adelaide, South Australia, which is over 3,000 km from the border with the NT.
Because every ISP has multiple IP numbers, and if they are big enough to have them all over the country, you can be allocated any one of those for your link to the external Internet network.
The IT people working in the Internet should know and understand this.
They should never assume that the IP address your connection shows up on is your physical location; that’s not how the Internet works.
As I used to say at my last place of work, the I in IT does not stand for intelligent.
I read recently that a high IQ is not an indication of a high level of common sense.
Yep, I’m back from Melbourne. I’m really happy with the way the Prius performed. I budgeted for up to three tanks of fuel but only used 2.5 (roughly). On the drive over, I added some fuel just out of Melbourne; I topped up the tank as we were leaving and got home on that tankful.

We only needed three stops on the return journey for us and the dog.
My wife eased the boredom of the long stretches by listening to her audiobook.
Unfortunately, she didn’t remember her headphones, so I had to listen to it as well.
Now I have a middle snippet of her book, and I’ll have to listen to the rest of it to complete the story.
Last week, I came across a website that connects you with authors who will pay you to turn their books into audiobooks.
Grab a few and listen to them to discover how easy that is.
If you want to make as much money as possible from reading books aloud, you can create an audiobook from a public domain book, your book, or a PLR book.
An alternative is to read other people’s books for a fee.
If you struggle with coming up with something to write your email about, but you know you should write one, what do you do? I read my emails or Facebook posts to get some inspiration. Sometimes that works, but not always. I also grab quotes or ideas from the books I’m reading, and occasionally, I’ll get an idea from a conversation I’ve had.
And you can access it almost for free. Can you guess? Some of you will, others will understand when I reveal it. . . . It’s your email list. You can build a profitable email list for free here and here. You’ll need to create a landing page with a valuable lead magnet to encourage people to sign up, but hundreds of YouTube videos will show you how.
A terrorist built and mailed a letter bomb. Unfortunately, he didn’t put sufficient postage on it, so it came back marked “Return to Sender”. It worked just fine when he excitedly opened his mail. OK, several kinds of dumb are on display here. The biggest one might have been putting a
You may not have heard of him or seen his emails, and I’ve already written more than he does. If you really want to make money online, this works. And so does this, check it out. Regards, Brent. P.S. Josh has a daily email newsletter that has 35,000+ daily readers.
