    Just finished "Advanced Interviewing Techniques" Fourth Edition by Jack Schafer and Joe Navarro. Navarro also wrote the book "What Every Body is Saying." Both books cover body language, but the former also covers police interview (interrogation) techniques including how they plan out...

    INTRO 
    Anyone can learn to write. For some reason, few people learn to be valuable to others. Maybe it's culture, parental upbringing, education, I don't know. What I do know is a whole lot of people believe they are worth $X amount of dollars, but can't understand why they aren't paid $X amount of...

    Success will remain impossible until you create value for other people. And you won't create anymore value via copywriting in one year than you would have with FB ads in the same amount of time. The only difference is, one gives you an excuse to start from scratch and waste more time, while...

    Sales I'm currently about $300 away from the $1,600 mark. Sales sometimes make little sense to me. I can go 5 days with no sales, then have 5-10 sales the next day from different people. I really need to review my funnels and improve them soon. Etsy I logged into my Etsy account to see if there...

    I know someone in their 20's who claims to want to start a business. He has no money and doesn't want to work a full-time job. Also, when work comes his way, he says things like, "I turned them down because they only pay $X/hr. I know my worth!" He follows that with, "Dang, I really need...

    No, I spent most of the week getting products listed. I've recovered a bit over half of my investment in last week's pallet purchase through jewelry sales. I expect to be profitable on the lot by the end of the month.

    I'm done bothering with FB Marketplace. It's mostly useful for items of need rather than items of want. I've listed around 50 rings over the last week and had about 10 messages in total. Of those messages, every single one either said "Is this available?" or "What's the size?" Those who asked...

    Mid-Month The first half of the month was predictably slow, but the last few days have picked up. I had about $75 in sales until a couple days ago when I started posting new products. Over the past three days I've posted 5 new products per day and each day saw sales. My mid-month total is...

    If we go back to the original question... To answer it at face value, we have to define what "that kind" of storytelling is. In this case, that kind of storytelling is the kind I've learned to tell over the past two decades via: - Launching a children's book business, a romance writing...

    EXECUTION 
    My best tip for anyone who wants to learn to write stories to sell products is...don't. Sell something people need so the product tells the story for you. Get it live. Get it in front of people. See what happens. If people buy your product, then worry about things like copywriting.

    The auction site says a lot of their products come from shipments that never reached the customer, so they are not necessarily defective or returns (but some are). Last month I sold $932.55 in jewelry with $782.58 coming from 14 rings purchased from Temu.com for between $1.00 and $2.00. I'm...

    Just got back from the auction warehouse. Huge building. Not great instructions about where you're supposed to enter. I think that little door on the far left next to the open one is where you go in, but I went up the ramp on the far right. Once inside, you cross the entire warehouse to reach...

    @MJ DeMarco I gained a piece of valuable info about the pallet auctions just now. Apparently, you cannot simply snipe bids at the last minute. If you place a bid with under 2 minutes remaining, the countdown timer resets for 2 additional minutes. I won the auction, but spent more than...

    Haven't reported much lately. Very few flips in April due to extra college classes, being on-call for body removals, and focusing on my ecom site. The latest pallet auction ends in a couple hours. I bid $50 on one of the lots, but someone outbid me up to $300 on Tuesday. Yesterday, I watched...
