    How to Build and Grow a Newsletter as a Business Model

    GOLD! HOT! PUBLISHING 
    Ben Settle recently released an email marketing platform. Probably not cheap, given that Ben is behind it, but he'd certainly know what marketers need out of an email software. I believe there may be some entry-level rates you can grandfather in though if you support them now. Not sure though.

    Lex DeVille's 2019-22 Step-By-Step Upwork Tutorial for Brokeass Bootstrap Beginners Who Need Cash Now!

    NOTABLE! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Do you pay for the "availability badge" or the "boost your profile" feature to bring in the invites? Or are neither necessary? I used to be really active on Upwork, but I'm so out of the loop now I can't keep track of all these new features and which is for what.

    SMMA: The Fool's Gold

    RANT 
    Man, that was a great post. Really hit home what hard work really looks like in what so many consider to be an easy industry. On the bright side, the willingness to pour that type of effort and time into the learning/ implementation is rare. Considerably raising the barrier to (actual) entry.

    Hypnotising yourself to create the character and belief you want! (POWERFUL)

    MINDSET PEOPLE 
    I didn't say there was anything supernatural about it. I'm just saying the power of the mind is very well documented. You don't think the ability of your mind to control your nervous system has implications for the other areas of your life? You don't think confidence and other personality...

    Hypnotising yourself to create the character and belief you want! (POWERFUL)

    MINDSET PEOPLE 
    To anyone who says the mind isn't powerful enough to do these things, how else do you explain the placebo effect? People can literally heal themselves through the power of their mind, sometimes of debilitating diseases. It's such a common occurrence that no scientific experiment can afford to...

    ChatGPT AI is a huge breakthrough, a Google killer

    HOT! CHAT 
    Below are the original 75 Hard rules, from Fox's own thread on the challenge, as I didn't want to go dig around the internet to find the original. Pretty sure Fox's was the barebones version of exactly what Andy prescribed. ChatGPT's version missed the alcohol part, says only water with "no...

    ChatGPT AI is a huge breakthrough, a Google killer

    HOT! CHAT 
    One thing I've noticed at least in its current state is that you can get good results with it but have to be somewhat skilled and creative to do so (figuring out the right prompts, digging deeper with further questioning, etc). Anything that requires new skills to be used will probably be...

    ChatGPT AI is a huge breakthrough, a Google killer

    HOT! CHAT 
    Also, just want to reiterate what TinyTim said in case all this talk of content creation misleads anyone -- ChatGPT itself should not be used as writing software. Among other limitations, it often gives back canned answers word for word, and I think others have pointed out that sometimes...

    ChatGPT AI is a huge breakthrough, a Google killer

    HOT! CHAT 
    Indeed. Also... If you consider it largely feeds off whatever's on the internet, even a version capable of scouring current data would potentially suffer from another issue that should be interesting for writers. Basically, it would still need input sources to work... So if everyone stopped...

    ChatGPT AI is a huge breakthrough, a Google killer

    HOT! CHAT 
    This thing definitely reveals some interesting biases in its answers (see attached). It's really bizarre that it would include that last sentence at all -- why would any user assume that describing an individual's ideas equated to supporting them?? Very strong virtue signaling built into the...

    3. Fallen down - Got Back Up

    MINDSET 
    Without commenting much further on the strategy, I'd suggest turning that email around. Let me explain what I mean. Just like with any other piece of copy, your very first line in the email part is the most important line (after the subject line). The purpose of that first line is to convince...

    Trying to get started freelancing - Google Ads / Web Design

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Fair points. I'm a copywriter, so most of my clients know the value of a good testimonial as a sales tool and are happy to provide. If they're impressed with the work, they're always more than happy to oblige. That said, I've gone the LI route too. What I do when it's on a platform like that...

    Has Moving to a Warm and Sunny Climate Made You Happier?

    Happier, yes. Not necessarily more productive. Haha

    Why only certain people "enjoy" the process? (Or is it something else?)

    My Experience Eating Keto/Carnivore

    NOTABLE! 
    Have had a lot of success with both carnivore and keto in the past but fell off it a while back. Just got back on dirty keto with a pretty tight fasting window a week and a half ago and already ratcheting the belt down again. The carnivore diet is pretty self-explanatory, but keto leaves a lot...

    Even if he did the hands-on work himself, it was essentially a free consulting call (which is certainly part of the work you'll be doing in this space). Once you are established, you can even charge for advice like that. You gave him information, outlined what he needed to do, and he got...

    Alex Hormozi. What is your opinion? Mine is (mostly) negative.

    GURUS 
    I never understood why anyone would take it so literal as to think it's unethical to say if he ever intends to sell anything online, anywhere, ever. Seems like a silly premise to me. They are branding videos, essentially -- not direct response videos. I always just assumed "I have nothing to...

    For starters, ask that guy you helped for a testimonial! He can, of course, refuse, but it's the least he can do after you gave him your time for free and "literally drew up a landing page" for him. Odds are he'll have no problem doing that if he really ran with all your advice. Stack a few...
