I want to start a new, paid newsletter. It won’t be expensive, somewhere between $7 & $20 monthly initially. Probably only run for 12 months, or less. I have three possible subjects. The Lazy Man’s Way to Riches. Raise Yourself from Failure to Success.

I have three possible subjects.
The Lazy Man’s Way to Riches.
Raise Yourself from Failure to Success.
How to Sell Informational Products.
The newsletter content will be different even though they seem, at fist glance, to be similar.
The first will be about automation, shortcuts and low-cost ways to make things happen to create an income.
The second will be about the mental and skill steps you’d need to take to make a difference in your life.
The third one will be about how to put them together, where to get ideas from, how to drive traffic to your products, and how to build up your audience.
There will be overlaps of course, but they will be different.
Yet another ‘click-bait’ subject line, but is it? No, it’s not. There is a real reason for that subject line and I will explain it to you now. Both you and the acorn have the potential to grow into something magnificent. You can hear the but, can’t you.
There is a real reason for that subject line and I will explain it to you now.
Both you and the acorn have the potential to grow into something magnificent.
You can hear the but, can’t you.
It’s a big but too.
The acorn needs to be in the right environment to grow into an oak tree.
It needs its own patch of light, water, nutrients in the soil, etc.
When it has all of the essential things in place, it grows, over the years, into a magnificent oak.
What about you?
You also need to be in the right environment before you can grow into the magnificent person you can be, but those environmental factors are not always available.
There is one glaring difference.
The acorn never doubts its ability to become an oak; it never second-guesses what it’ll become.
The other oak trees and acorns never tell it that it can never become an oak because it’s too small, or doesn’t have the guts, etc.
That’s the skill you need to develop to become that magnificent person.
You must ignore the naysayers; after all, they’ve never grown into anything useful, so how would they know that you can’t?
Only listen to people who are either already on the path to magnificence or are already there.
No one else has the right to advise you on how to get there.
No one has the right to stomp on your growth and potential.
Not my plan of course. I knew we were going out to lunch with family. There was at least an hour of driving for the luncheon date. That’s total driving time, not one way. Lunch went longer than expected, and then we had some unexpected babysitting to do, which went longer than I thought it might.
If you’re financial enough you can use tools such as Ahrefs to spy on what your competition are doing. You can grab all their keywords and effectively clone their business. But, if you’re on a budget that doesn’t include a $99 monthly subscription, it often seems that
Getting potential customers is the biggest requirement of any marketer. It doesn’t matter which industry you’re in or even if you are online or off. If you don’t have potential customers to show your products or services to, you cannot make sales and you will
Unfortunately, most marketers try to use them to generate sales. That rarely works. Sure, if you have millions of followers or members in your group, you can make sales and maybe even a living from them, but they work best for driving traffic to other pages.
Unfortunately, most marketers try to use them to generate sales.
That rarely works.
Sure, if you have millions of followers or members in your group, you can make sales and maybe even a living from them, but they work best for driving traffic to other pages.
The reason for this is that none of the sites want you to leave.
So they suppress your ability to drive traffic to a sales page.
But, they will allow you to drive traffic to videos, blog posts, information pages, etc.
This means that you can build bridge pages for whatever you’re promoting and post a link to that in your timeline or group.
There’s a little tweak that you can tell your followers to do that makes sure most of them get notified of a new post.
In every group you aren’t the admin for, on the right-hand side, there’s a little button with three periods.
Clicking that will bring up a menu.
One item there is “Manage Notifications“.
When you open that you’ll see what options there are.
Tell your friends and followers.
Which social media platforms work best for driving traffic?
In my experience, there are three.
Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest.
I could never get much action from X (previously known as Twitter), or YouTube.
I suspect that I haven’t posted enough videos to YT yet so that might change in the future.
Volume and consistency seem to be significant markers to get the boosting love from any of these sites.
The same applies to TikTok from what I’ve read, but I haven’t got an account there… yet.
The posts that seem to get the best traction currently are short videos, and this is the easiest place to create short videos.
This is the one that holds you back. But it can be developed into one of the strongest. This is how. Start with understanding that other people don’t care about you. Sure, you might have a few people close to you who do, but the rest don’t care. Other people
But it can be developed into one of the strongest.
This is how.
Start with understanding that other people don’t care about you.
Sure, you might have a few people close to you who do, but the rest don’t care.
Other people care about themselves, their finances, their health, their love life, their entertainment and sometimes they care about people close to them.
As a marketer, it’s your job to show them how your product or service helps them with their finances, their health, their love life, and their entertainment.
If you can’t do that then you won’t make a sale, and your finances are limited.
Now, people will tell you that you just need more traffic; perhaps you do.
They’ll tell you that you need a better offer, perhaps you do.
They’ll tell you that you need to write better sales pages, perhaps you do.
But they’ll never tell you that you need more patience.
That’s the weak muscle that you need to build up.
How do you build it up?
By making more offers, writing more sales pages, driving more traffic, and testing everything until you find that sweet spot.
It is there.
I promise, but you’ll need patience.
Scammers sell you one or no-hit wonders that promise instant success.
They know your patience muscle is weak and they hit it repeatedly.
It won’t get any better when you pay attention to them and their lies.
P.S. When you’re struggling with information overload and don’t know what to do next, getting access to something that’s step-by-step and simple makes all the difference.
This process simplifies and enhances content you already own and magically turns it into something brilliant.
For manars I had excuses, lots of them. You might be familiar with some of these. I don’t have time. I don’t have any money. I don’t have the skills. My wife/husband doesn’t support me. I’m always too tired. My computer is too old. etc. I eventually worked out that I was
So many offers currently have lots of bonuses. There’s some AI software that I was offered today for $37 one time. It comes with over $5k of bonuses. WTF? That looks like an incredible deal, but if you don’t need and can’t use the software immediately it’s
Sometimes, loss-leader pricing is used to get you into the funnel where you discover that the sales page tells you what you get if you buy everything, which then pushes the price over $1k, and without everything, nothing works or is extremely limited.
That’d be like a car salesman showing you the brochure for your dream sports car for $2k then telling you that you’ll need wheels, engine, seats, doors, etc.
Perhaps it’s the real estate guy who shows you photographs of your dream home for $5k.
He then explains that that is the land, and then you’ll need foundations, walls, roof, bathroom, bedrooms, kitchen, etc., before you can use it like the photographs show.
I understand that some people, when they decide to buy a product, go bonus shopping to see if they can get a better deal.
Again, I think that’s dumb.
90% of the bonus bundles are not worth a cracker, and the people who do that won’t download or use them anyway.
Some of the bonuses aren’t bonuses either; they’re another affiliate offer that you have to sign up for.
Currently, when I see a product with a lot of bonuses I walk away as quickly as I can because experience has told me that the product is crap.
Can you relate?
Have you got any horror stories for me?

P.S. One marketer I buy from regularly, because his products always provide some useful insight or different way to do something, is Anthony Shepherd.
At the very least his daily emails are entertaining and informative.
I recommend you join his email list and check him out for yourself.
He almost never offers bonuses to his products and he doesn’t have affiliates sell for him.
Through this link, you can get a free report that shows how he makes a six-figure income working three hours a day with email alone.
