How to Take Advantage of Social Media Stalkers for Fun and Profit!

Every time you make a public comment on social media, you open up the doors of a huge opportunity for your business.

There are millions of your potential customers wandering around on social media every day – and if you interact with them in the right way, they WILL go check out your profile. 

What will they find when they get there? 

Will they find an easy path towards your business that attracts them into your world so you can help them with your product or service?

Or will they look around a bit and say, “Oh… well, good for him” and move on to the next cat video? 

Getting into the mind of your potential stalker (or… customer)

People love posting on social media because it gives them that little dopamine boost… that voice inside says, “Hey! I’m not alone! People like me!” 

and then they scroll and scroll and scroll… 

It’s all highly addictive. And, like a drug pusher, we’re here to take advantage of that. 

Uh… well… but you’re a good kind of drug pusher! Haha… maybe that sounds bad. 

Face it, people are using social media whether you like it or not – they’re addicted. I’m addicted, you’re probably addicted (but we can quit any time, right? haha). They’re either going to look at someone else’s stuff or they can look at yours.

Besides, if you truly have a product / service that benefits people and solves their problems, you’re really doing them a disservice by keeping quiet about it.

So, actually you’re a real humanitarian – just look at you – helping people with the stuff you sell them.

All silliness aside, if you’re not selling people stuff you believe in and know is helpful and you’re just out to make a buck… just stop altogether. 

So, you’ve got to set up your profile in such a way that draws them in. You want to help them, right? You know your product / service is good for them, right? 

Help that wandering social media addicted soul out with some nice chicken soup in the form of your wonderful service.  

My new e-book goes through how to set up your profile to do just that.

I think I’ve been wiping wrong my whole life…

Have you seen this ad for Charmin toilet paper?

I think I’ve been wiping wrong all these years! 

Really, I’ve been making fun of this ad campaign for a few months now ever since it popped up on my free Hulu account. 

I already pay for plenty of streaming services… but maybe it’s time to pony up for Hulu. I don’t know…

I made a video on TikTok making fun of it, but then I started thinking… 

It IS the most interesting TP ad I’ve seen…

Usually my brain just shuts off for those.

It’s a weirdly funny image and phrase…

I poke fun at it with my family whenever it pops on the screen.

I’ve talked about it with friends…

Made videos about it…

And now Charmin is the brand on my mind. 

When you think about it… It would be pretty tough to come up with an ad for toilet paper that actually gets people to pay attention.

Somehow these guys did it. 

Huh… mixing bathroom humor with a toilet paper ad… 

Who would’ve thought of that?

Actually, PooPourri did. Not TP but most likely the funniest bathroom humor commercials ever (there are LOTS of them on YouTube).

Enjoy the go…

Are You Playing YouTube Roulette With Your Business?

A lot of people try to figure out their business problems by playing YouTube roulette. 

They hear someone say, “This is the way to do XYZ” and they just go for it. 

That MIGHT be the answer…

And some times you get lucky.

But many times you don’t see the other 5 things that need to be taken care of before doing that thing.

You can totally get an awesome education in pretty much anything you want on YT but…

How long is it going to take?

How many U-turns are you going to have to make?

It’s trial and error city doing that. 

And that’s IF you can keep your inner game strong enough…

to keep you from giving up and following the next shiny object. 

Or giving up altogether. 

Because you’re thinking…

“Is this really the right strategy? Is it really going to work?” 

Some people can do it – but not everyone. 

It’s easier to jump ahead in line and just TALK to someone who’s already been there…

Let them hear all about your unique situation and help you come up with a strategy that works. 

That’s what I’ve been doing for quite a while now on Fiverr.  

I’ve talked to physical trainers, authors, massage therapists, dog groomers, e-com store owners, course creators, coaches…

People who want to take their brick-and-mortar biz online and don’t have a clue how to do it…

I’ve talked with tons of people who want to start an online business and need some guidance.

In fact, many of them come to me after they’ve played YouTube roulette for quite a while…

And they just want someone to bust through all the options out there and help them figure out what to do.

I always try to help them find the fastest path to cash for their unique situation.

Once we figure that out… and how they can actually get there… it does a lot for their motivation. 

And talking to a real live human being who “gets” you is pretty awesome. 

These calls are the highlight of my week. 

Go here to read the 60+ 5 star reviews and reach out if it sounds like we’re a good fit!

*h/t to Charl Coetzee for the cool phrase, “YouTube Roulette”

Are You Trusting the Process in Your Business? Or Are You Bouncing All Over the Place?

I live next to a big ol’ field. 

They grow soy beans there, but…

In the off season I use it as my private walking / brainstorming paradise. 

I can think out loud all I want and no one will think I’m a weirdo. 

Don’t know what I’ll do when they start planting the field again and I can’t walk there. 

Watching the farmers do their thing over the course of a year makes you think about how things work. 

The main one being: Trusting the Process

Think about it…

For thousands of years, farmers have been repeating the same thing over and over and over. 

Prepare the soil…

Plant the seeds…

Let the sun, water and air do their thing… 

Harvest when the crop is ready.

Sure, there’s special skill and knowledge that farmers have that I don’t… but that’s basically it. 

Years ago, someone figured out if you do these things…

you end up with food. 

And if you do it right, you get A LOT of food. 

You can feed your family and also make a living from it. 

It’s pretty much the same thing I talk about in the Traffic Machine Blueprint

You follow the process given…

You stay faithful to it…

Not getting distracted by other processes…

What is Tsu? My Review of the new “Social App That Pays” (2021)

Back in 2014 a social site came out called Tsu (short for “tsunami”). Their goal was to let content creators share in the revenue that they helped bring to the site. 

Even if you’re just sharing memes all day… you’re helping Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. keep users on the site. The more time you’re on that site, the more money THEY make. 

The site, that is – not you.

But Tsu paid YOU for posting and commenting and hanging out on their site. Like Facebook, but you get paid to post on there? What’s not to like? 

Well, the original Tsu was fun… while it lasted. 

It shut down in 2016… BUT… it’s back now. 

I’ll get to more info on what the site is like today, but I think it’s important to know a bit of the history before we move forward. 

A little history on the original Tsu social network…

The original Tsu had $7 million in funding and a few celebrities like 50 Cent joined in to help it get started. I made a video about it here, if you want to learn more.

My YouTube Stats

I got distracted looking at my YouTube stats today.

I haven’t posted a video for two years but people are STILL watching my stuff every single day.

It’s crazy how doing something once can still benefit you for years to come.

Even the videos with outdated material that I’ve been too lazy to update are still being watched.

Yes, I’ve been super lazy about this… there is a decent amount of traffic flowing in from these vids… I’m slowly tweaking stuff on the channel, though. Fixing dead links, deleting some old stuff, etc.

The reason I was in there to begin with is because I’ve got some videos I’ll be putting out real soon.

Got to take advantage of that traffic.

Let this be a lesson to you…

Don’t be lazy with YouTube.

Imagine if I had kept posting a video per week…

Even just one per month!

What would I have had to show for it?

Dosh is a really cool app that gives you cash back when shopping at participating stores.

Update (8/13/19): The $15 promotion is back on! It lasts until 8/26/19 at 11:59pm PT. After that you’ll receive $5 per referral.

How to be a paid English tutor with the NiceTalk app

LOADS of Chinese students are looking for conversational English partners. 

Would you like to get PAID to help them?

The NiceTalk app is doing just that. English speakers around the world are logging in and getting paid ten dollars an hour to help Chinese students practice conversational English.

Get paid to know English

You can chat as much or as little as you like. One of the top tutors told me he was chatting about 6 hours per day and making as much as $350 per week. So, it can become a pretty decent source of extra income.

I’ve been testing it out and I’m having a lot of fun with it. It feels like I’m getting paid to make new friends and hang out. Already I’ve met one guy who I have a TON in common with and we’ve had 3 long chats! Continue Reading →
