Just like these other quotes that were never said by the people they were attributed to.
Einstein never said, “God does not play dice;” Twain isn’t the author of, “There are three kinds of lies: lies, damn lies, and statistics;” Hemingway never claimed he could write a short story with just six words.
There are many, many more, but you don’t want me going through them.
It’s sufficient to say that there are nearly more misquotes than accurate ones.
One in particular that troubles people who are trying to improve their finances is Money is the root of all evil.
That is a misquote, the actual line from the Bible is The love of money is the root of all evil.
Now that makes a lot more sense, and, when you examine the people you know, a lot more accurate.
Those who earn well by providing a valuable service to others are not money grasping, but others seem to delight in doing their best to get paid for doing the least amount possible.
That’s what the shiny object vendors are doing.
They prey on people’s desire for quick riches rather than being paid for quality service.
It is Careware, which means free, but read the documentation about that.
For any type of website you want to build, this works great.
If you want to ask AI to create an HTML website for you it will do a great job.
Copy paste the output from your AI tool into Arachnophilia to make any tweaks you like then use the built-in FTP tool to upload your pages to your website.
Well-formed HTML is the fastest loading web page you can make.
Everything you could possibly need is built in, but if you have some coding skills, you can adjust any part of this tool to customise it for yourself.
In the current online environment affiliate marketing is almost as hard as being a vendor.
As an affiliate what you won’t have to do is product support, …
… Actually, if you add a decent bonus to sweeten the deal for the buyer you might have to do product support for that.
Everything else the vendor does to put a product online you’ll have to do to sell that product with your bonus.
Create the bonus, create a landing page and short funnel, write a sales/bridge page, write an email sequence, drive or buy traffic to your landing page.
The big difference is that you’re finding and handing buyers to them and for less money that they get paid, mostly.
Sure, some vendors will give you 100% of the first product, but that just means you’ve been paid to give them a buyer.
If you’ve been collecting the emails then you also have an asset to sell to, and, if you’ve got the funnels working well, possible getting either a small loss or small profit from that.
Since it’s so easy to make a product with the help of AI it really doesn’t make a lot of sense to be an affiliate anymore.
Share your thoughts.

P.S. Whether you’re an affiliate or a vendor you need to get visitors to your landing pages.
Keeping the cost down improves your ROI, free is the best.
It takes 5 minutes using this tool to grow an audience.
If you don’t want to create images with AI, that’s fine. You can upload any image you like from your desktop as long as it fits Pinterest’s specifications.
Square images are 1000x1000px and portrait images are 1000x1500px.
The app creates square images at the moment.
Why would you want to post pins to Pinterest?
They have 450 million visitors each month who are looking for things to click on and buy.
I’m a Master of Procrastination. If they had a PHd for that I’d get one via Recognition of Prior Learning.
Honestly, I could procrastinate for Australia in the Procrastination Olympics and I recon I’d get a Gold medal. I probably wouldn’t be there for the medal ceremony though, coffee is calling.
I have a copy, but I haven’t opened it yet because I’m working on the free traffic tool.
What I’ve done instead is grabbed a snippet from one of John’s emails about the book.
*****************
Speaking of, one of the people I asked for feedback on the book before I published it was Rob Marsh, founder of the Copywriter Club and co-host of the world’s #1 copywriting podcast. As Rob was reading through my new 10 Commandments book, he wrote me to say: === Hey John… I haven’t finished yet, but so far I like what I’m reading. Your teaching style is subtle, yet effective. And what you share is spot on. It will help a lot of readers be more persuasive. Any way… hoping to finish this week. I will definitely share with my audience. Also happy to give you a “blurb” if you think it would help. ==== I was happy with what Rob had already written and I didn’t ask for more. But Rob’s a generous guy, and when he finished the book, he sent me the following Cialdini-scented blurb: === In addition to Cialdini’s well known 6 principles of influence (urgency, scarcity, consistency and so on), it’s time to add Bejakovic’s 10 commandments of persuasion. This book will make you a better writer and a better sales person. But more than that, you can use John’s commandments to be more persuasive, more engaging and more interesting in everything you do. ==== Would you like to be more persuasive, engaging, and interesting? Or to sell more? Or to write better?
This book is in the running for the longest title.
It’s called ’10 Commandments of Con Men, Pickup Artists, Magicians, Door-to-Door Salesmen, Hypnotists, Copywriters, Negotiators, Political Propagandists, Stand Up Comedians, and Oscar-Winning Screenwriters.’
It’s written by John Bejakovic, a marketer who’s email list I’ve been on for several years now.
He has a quirky outlook on what he does and he’s reasonably successful as well.
When I tried to buy this 2 minutes ago I was unable to do so.

The metric that I thought was reliable was the clicks, but it seems that’s not reliable either.
Recently one of my emails appeared to have a low count of clicks, but when I checked the stats in the tracking software the click count was almost ten times what the autoresponders reported.
The tracking software is correct, or at least more correct.
The issue is that the autoresponder companies will rate your subscriber engagement by the number of clicks you get.
If they can’t count them accurately you risk your account being relegated to a lower quality server.
This will impact your deliverability.
So you need to make sure that your email list is a clean as possible and there are no other impediments to getting your emails into your subscribers inbox.
