    Weekly Progress: What will you get done this week?

    GOLD! HOT! CHAT 
    I'm begining testing ads to send more traffic to my website with the aim of increasing the number of daily subscribers for my newsletter. The advertising platforms I want to test with are Instagram, Facebook and Google. Once I've decided on the best source of traffic for what I'm trying to do, I...

    Why is everything so hard?

    RANT 
    I feel your pain. I had a similar experience with Facebook and spent a week watching videos about what might be going wrong. I eventually discovered that my card details loaded against my advertising account hadn't been validated. What confused the hell out of me was that they showed as valid...

    GOLD! HOT! CHAT 
    I signed the deal to distribute one of my courses with a third party at the end of last week and launched a new course. This week, the goal is to secure approval for a new piece of video product work and complete it.

    How to Build and Grow a Newsletter as a Business Model

    GOLD! HOT! PUBLISHING 
    It sounds like you had a lot of fake bot subscriptions. Try implementing a Captcha solution on the signup page, but there are other solutions as well. Your newsletter software supplier probably has a few. Many are invisible so they don't interfere with the signup process. There are also a few...

    GOLD! HOT! CHAT 
    I will agree a deal (if I can) with a third party to sell one of my courses. We've been chatting about it, but I want to get the contract signed this week.

    Anatomy of a Launch Success

    MARKETING EXECUTION 
    It's time for an update on the product launch. This launch ended up generating 514% more income than my previous best-selling course generated over its life. After the launch, the course sales dried up as expected because I did nothing to promote it. But I did still make a few sales each week...

    Weekly Progress: What will you get done this week?

    GOLD! HOT! CHAT 
    After reading this thread on Tuesday, I intended to add my own goal of launching a new course this week. Then, events overtook me, and I forgot. Fortunately, I managed to launch the course, and it's live for a select group of people. I'm now preparing the full launch for a week's time.

    YouTube channel about Google Sheets / Apps - Script - Progress thread

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    They look quite exciting. I think I might experiment with another channel created using the AI features. I tried using the AI scripting, but I couldn't get it to use my phrases and voice, so a separate channel makes sense. I haven't tried Descript yet, but I will take a look when I can find some...

    YouTube channel about Google Sheets / Apps - Script - Progress thread

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    I decided not to use Shorts after testing, so I don't know much about them. Is there any scope to include French subtitles if you decide to make them in English? I've been watching TechSmith's videos about their plans for Camtasia and Audiate (which I use). They are working on creating animated...

    Read the book Bog Standard Business by Charlie Mullins and then tell me again that Plumbers can't get rich.

    Landing Page for eBook on Dynamic Instruction

    IDEA 
    What are you trying to achieve by offering the book? If it's a free book to gather subscribers, you don't need most of the information on the page. You need a powerful headlines about what the book will help someone achieve, 3 to 5 bullet points (benefits) and an email form. Keep it short and...

    Experiences with payment providers that act as a Merchant of record

    TAXES | REGS 
    My guess is that they want to grow this service. Stripe Tax, their existing offering in this space, seems very poor in comparison. I can't imagine why I would want to pay for it and do all the Tax filing myself or pay their Tax Partner more money to do it for me. Buying Lemon Squeezy gives them...

    YouTube channel about Google Sheets / Apps - Script - Progress thread

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Your audience doesn't know or care how much effort you put into a video. All they care about is what they get out of the video. Over the past few months, I released several videos I had spent a lot of time working on. After two weeks, I was lucky if a video hit 1k views, which happened to every...

    How to stop being a "Success Zombie"

    MINDSET 
    I only read or consume content if I clearly understand what I hope to gain from it. If I can't do that, then what's the point? It's just wasting time that could be spent working on something or testing an idea. Execution is addictive and exciting. Perhaps I have a different problem of not...

    Lex's Digital/Physical Product Group Accountability Thread

    GOLD! HOT! EXECUTION 
    Thanks for mentioning this. I wasn't aware of Microsoft Clarity. I remember when it was possible to see heatmaps with Google Analytics (how old am I). I've just installed it to my site.

    How to Build and Grow a Newsletter as a Business Model

    GOLD! HOT! PUBLISHING 
    I've tried a couple of services. Like you, I found Hemmingway a pain. I now use Grammarly. The free version is pretty good, but the Pro version is much better. I have it integrated into MS Word, Affinity Publisher and my web browsers, and I use it daily. You do need to invest some time setting...
