I was called a racist…it’s not true.

Brent Milne

It seems that calling someone you don’t agree with a racist is a standard technique for lazy people.

The thing I was being called out on didn’t have anything that even vaguely mentioned a person’s race.

I was commenting on their behaviour, not their claimed race and I have no idea how that can be called racist.

People should be judged on their behaviour because that’s their statement of what they see as their worth in relation to others.

Some of you may be old enough to remember a TV series called Miami Vice.

My then wife came into the room when I was watching an episode and asked me which actor was Don Johnson.

I said, “He’s the scruffy one.”

Then I laughed because there was another significant difference between the two detectives that was less important to me.

You’ll have to do some research to find out what that is.

Brent.

P.S. Changing the subject, I’ve been playing around with an interesting AI tool.

With this one, if you can draw a box, you can make a plugin that you can sell or give away.

Talk about unique lead magnets.

How about making a plugin to give away?

This has to be the no-codest no-code software I have seen so far.

Simple landing page + lead magnet.

Brent Milne

READ IN APP

A question was asked about what you can use for a lead magnet.

The answer is anything the visitor would be happy to exchange their email address for.

Do you have to own it yourself?

No, you don’t.

Does it have to be valuable?

To the potential subscriber, definitely.

I though about this a lot.

I know that almost anything you want to know is freely available online, if you know how to search and are prepared to sift through a lot of cruft.

Mostly people will pay you to save them time.

When you can collect, collate, and distill the free information in a way that makes it easily digestible you can make a lot of money.

As a demonstration I put this together.

https://nomad-productions.convertri.com/yt.

When you see this page the first thing you see is a YouTube video, then you get an overlay.

The overlay can be anything you want, but I would normally put a form on it that must be filled in before the visitor can watch the video.

It’s not the case here, just click the button as if you’d subscribed.

This was easy to do in Convertri, and it wouldn’t be much harder on a WordPress site.

I don’t know about other platforms, but it shouldn’t be too difficult for most as it’s really only a timed pop-up.

Click the link to test this, then reply to this email and let me know what you think.

Brent.

Well, perhaps some people could use 0.01% of it, but no one can possibly use more.

The bundle that has just been offered to me via email is 15 million PLR products.

I didn’t even bother to check the price because the price is irrelevant if you can’t use the product.

That’s a message you should take to heart.

If you cannot use the product or training immediately, don’t waste your money on it because you’ll never get back to it.

Remember, the Internet is a dynamic and constantly evolving beast.

What is cutting edge today is definitely old hat tomorrow.

I try to stay away from the bleeding edge because there are some things that have been true and working since the beginning of the Internet and are still working today even better than they did then.

Not only that but, with the use of AI tools, creating the content you need is faster, easier, and cheaper than it has ever been.

Unfortunately, that also means the competition is also greater than it has ever been, but most of the competition is too low in quality to be concerned about.

The information overload that most people online experience daily is your friend.

The visitors you get on your pages will only see it once, so you need to do everything you can to get them onto your email list or click on something that makes you money.

They came to your site because a link somewhere caught their eye.

You’ll need a congruent lead magnet that entices them to trade their email address for it.

Now you have a chance to keep them in your funnel and lead them gently to a purchase or two.

This is how you do it: https://go.wm-tips.com/sr-list.

The #4 is Password.

Is it any wonder that people get hacked?

When the News of The World journalists were prosecuted for phone hacking, most of the public thought they were super hackers.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

Most people never change the default login details for their phones.

All the NotW Journos did was use two phones to call the number of the target celebrity.

If they got a dial tone they hung up.

If they didn’t they used the default access details to login to the messages of the target phone.

As far as I’m concerned, anyone who doesn’t change their default login details deserves to be hacked.

It’s the same with WordPress sites.

Most people don’t change the default login details, or, if they do, they only change the password.

I always change the login details, but, to piss off the hackers, I set the nickname and display name to Admin.

When hackers arrive, as they will, they’ll assume that I didn’t change the username and waste time trying to hack the password.

Most of my sites also have 2FA backup security as well.

The only websites I have had hacked in the last 20 years were ones that I hadn’t completed armouring.

You don’t need expensive security plugins, you just need to play a little smarter.

Playing smarter is what you do when you use AI to assist you in discovering angles to market products.

You don’t need expensive tools to help you with this, all you need is some guidance on how to ask the AI tools the right questions.

This shows you how easy it can be to transform your affiliate sales from a trickle to a flood.

How to create a secure password.

One that you can remember.

Most of what you’ve been led to believe about passwords is wrong.

This page explains why https://www.grc.com/haystack.htm.

OK, if you’re back now this is how you can create a password that is unique for every site, is very difficult to hack, and that you can remember easily.

Set a standard pattern for your passwords.

Such as a symbol or two and a number set or a set with a number.

Somewhere in your password you need to have a symbol, and number, a capital and a lowercase letter.

For example:- .D0g.

Then add the main URL of the website you’re logging into.

For example:- .GMailD0g. or .D0g.GMail or .D0gGmail.

Obviously you get to choose the symbol you want and the standard pattern for the remainder.

It’s also better to have a longer password than a shorter one.

One 14 character passwords I use is rated, on that page, as taking over 15 thousand centuries to crack using the biggest offline cracking array available.

I like this system so much that I’ve been using it for everything for several years now, but I haven’t converted all my passwords to this system, which I need to do.

One other thing, when the URL is two or more words, I use Camel Case for the password.

Camel Case is a pattern that’s used in programming where you capitalise the first letter of each word.

For example:- livecode = LiveCode, hatchwrite = HatchWrite.

All of those little variations make it much harder to crack.

Remember, you can’t guess part of a password, you have to guess all of it for it to work.

Regards,
Brent.

P.S. Causing pain for hackers is something I enjoy because they’ve caused me plenty of pain over the last 25+ years I’ve been online.

But avoiding, resolving, or eliminating pain is a massive motivating factor for most people.

That’s why you should be pushing the pain button with every sales page you write and resolving or eliminating pain is what all your products should do.

But you have to identify the pain points with every niche you want to work in.

AI can find these for you and guide you in how best to market to those with the pain that you’re resolving.

“I’ve been driving for 60 years and never had an accident.”

Brent Milne

Nov 11

READ IN APP

“I’ve only had one fine for speeding in all that time.”

No, not me personally.

I haven’t been driving that long and I’ve had accidents, been fined hundreds of dollars for speeding, and lost my licence multiple times.

So not an unblemished record.

But this 97-year old lady was appealing for her license to be restored after it had been cancelled.

It was cancelled after taking two driving tests and failing both.

In South Australia you fail your driving test if you accumulate more than 20 points for errors during the test.

In her first test the instructor cancelled the test after she accumulated 182 points.

In her second test, after taking a series of driving lessons she did improve.

She only scored 123 points.

What did she do wrong?

She breached the road rules multiple times including by continuously driving in a bike lane, failing to give way, braking to a near stop in a 70km/h zone and obstructing other vehicles, and driving at 38km/h in a 60 km/h zone.

She also failed to check mirrors and blind spots, and had to be stopped when she attempted to turn in front of approaching vehicles without enough room.

Her doctor said she was medically fit enough to drive, but the tribunal refused to return her drivers license.

Since she was driving around where I drive I’m happy that she won’t be out there.

Now it’s time to get the rest of the idiots off the road.

Regards,
Brent.

P.S. When people aren’t watching dog or cat videos they’re searching for things to solve their problems.

There are several stages to their searching.

They start with a general question, start to identify what they want, and then search for a solution.

There are far more keywords and a much higher volume of traffic for the general searches than the latter keywords.

When you can move them from the general search to the buying mode without leaving your site you can make a motza with el cheapo traffic.

Use the generic keywords to get the SEO traffic, and use in post links to get them to the buying keyword pages.

To help identify why they might be searching for a particular product and how the product solves their problem you can use AI to guide your research.

A simple test for online integrity.

Brent Milne

Nov 10

READ IN APP

When you get a promotional email from any marketer you need to be able to identify if they have integrity before you purchase.

If you’ve already been dealing with them and are happy with your results then this test isn’t required, but if not this will sort them fast.

TBH it’s not 100% accurate, but it could help you save your money.

The simple test?

Reply to the email and ask a valid question such as “How deep is the funnel?”

If you get no reply or the return email address is “noreply@…” you have your answer.

If they’re not prepared to answer an email query or won’t even accept queries before you buy then you’ll never get any help from them afterwards.

Mark their email as spam and put them on your shit list.

You should give them 24 hours to respond, not everyone is in the same time zone.

There is another simple test, scroll to the bottom of the email, if there is no unsubscribe link then instantly mark it as spam.

It’ll also help keep your inbox tidy.

Win Win for you.

Regards,
Brent.

Automation is the key to success.

It used to be that all the gurus were talking about outsourcing.

The problem with that was that most of their subscribers weren’t making enough money to pay outsourcers.

Some subscribers were making enough to pay for an outsourcing experiment, but struggled to find good people to do the work.

All in all, for most people, outsourcing was more of a nightmare than a profitable activity.

Today, with AI tools, outsourcing is pretty much redundant for getting content.

What you need now is to reduce your workload by automating as much of your business as you can.

You can’t just leap into automating everything because you need to know exactly which bits can be automated and which cannot.

Mostly, automating the administration work is a good thing.

Automating product creation not so much.

You’ll still need to stay on top of the quality of anything you produce because that’s a reflection on you.

Automating the distribution of your content is helpful as that can be time-consuming and boring.

Automating keyword research is great for getting a big list of keywords, but you’ll still have to filter through them to find the ones you want to target.

This tool helps with the keyword research.

It helps with the distribution of content.

It helps with content creation.

All the final decisions are yours as is any editing you wish to do.

But it can really change the way you work and transform your effectiveness.
