  • Netflix Weirdest K-drama

    Netflix Weirdest K-drama

    If you don’t know k-drama is Korean language television…

    Shows that are made in South Korea.

    (I didn’t know till I Googled what K-drama was.)

    Netflix is due to release possibly the strangest small-screen shows to date.

    Due to be aired on Netflix on 14th March…

    And the title?

    Chicken Nugget…

    Yeah really!

    Chicken Nugget is based on a webtoon…

    and it’s about a father who turned his daughter into a chick nugget and is desperately trying to transform her back into a human.

    When I read this, I thought really… well actually more like what the fcuk.

    CRAZY eh?

    There’s a short preview of the film on Twitter or X as it’s now known.

    And it’s got 755.2K views and reposted 1,675 times with over 6K likes…

    I guess Bill Glazier would class this as OUTRAGEOUS advertising.

    I bet this as a loyal following with a lot of eager followers who just can’t wait for this to be aired.

    Dan Kennedy would call this building your herd, and as Dan says:

    “It’s one thing to have a client list, it’s a whole different thing to have a responsive and loyal list.”

    Hope you’re having a good day.

    Zaf.

    P.S. Something NOT so outrageous…

    Would you like to learn to build a holistic system that incorporates list-building, product creation, affiliate marketing and other core income streams

    depending on what your strengths are, but the difference is we’ll be creating a microcosm – a nano-business that is madly effective in terms of income creation but doesn’t end up being a huge, clumsy monstrosity of a business that saps all your time and energy.

    That’s what you learn and more in Tony Shepherd’s 8 Module course which I’ve secured co-branding to…

    Flipping The Switch

    This is some of what you learn:

    You’ll know exactly what you should be doing every day on your business and you’ll be able to watch it grow and profit without worrying about the latest trends and fads (unless you want to be the person who profits from them -I’ll show you how!)

    You’ll actually have a proven system to work from that you can see working because I’ll give you examples from my own business and other marketers, clients and contacts I know too

    You’ll finally have a direction in your business and when your profits start to arrive you’ll finally understand what scaling and repeating means in terms of income.

    And more!!

  • The night I was RAVING like a bloody…

    The night I was RAVING like a bloody…

    On a Friday night and quite a few years ago…

    I met up with a mate, then before I went out, I used to down a good volume of vodka.

    That night we met up and went into a local nightclub in Notts think it was called the Palais.

    That night I was more drunk than usual when my mate offered me some Acid.

    I was going to take the whole lot being how tiny it was, I thought I could handle it no problem…

    …but he persuaded me otherwise.

    (I tell you I was bloody glad I did only take half.)

    Later in the night in the nightclub, I must have looked like a Raving Rabid lol…

    If you don’t know what a Rabid is It’s a cartoon and Rabids are Rabbit-like creatures that are well crazy.

    Running does all sorts of crazy things.

    I remember after I came out of the club I must have been shouting and not realized it…

    as this lad with the girl across the road gave some weird looks.

    On the walk home, things started to get weirder, it was raining, and the rain would suddenly slow down then speed up then slow down it was crazy.

    I got home (then I lived at my mum’s) and got in bed, and I could hear the dripping of the tap.

    The noise it made started to speed up and slow down…

    It was like this all night and so loud I couldn’t get to sleep.

    I didn’t touch another one of those things again.

    Looking back now, I think…

    “You must have been bloody crazy!”

    Have a great Wednesday.

    Zaf.

    P.S. What’s also CRAZY is if you don’t pick up a copy of  Tony Shepherd’s…

    Retired Super Affiliate

    That I bought a Co-branding license for…

    I’ve had a couple of subscribers with questions about this so today I thought I’d do a few Q and A’s from the sales page.

    If you have any questions, then hopefully these will help to answer them for you.

    Here are the questions and answers below:

    Q. Do you need a list?

    A. A list is always a good thing, and you will get better results if you have one, no matter how small it is.

    But much of Tony’s affiliate work was anonymous so he couldn’t and didn’t want to use his list.

    So don’t worry – Tony will show you a couple of strategies that show you how to get around not having a list.

    Q. Do you need to buy everything you promote?

    A. You can do if you want to write reviews or do case studies,

    But it’s simply not necessary.

    When your reputation grows a little, you’ll be able to get review copies of pretty much any product you want…

    … But Tony will also show you a highly ETHICAL way of promoting products you’ve never bought, used or even read!

    Q. Do you need your own products?

    A. Absolutely not. That’s the beauty of affiliate marketing.

    You can get started just with your computer, internet access and a PayPal account. You don’t even need a website if you don’t want to.

    Q. Do you need a reputation or a following?

    A. Nope. Tony will show you how to use leverage to get everything you need. Vendors unwittingly provide you with everything they need if you know where to look 😉

    Tony will be sharing all this with you.

    Q. Can I do this as a newbie?

    A. Yes of course. The whole point is to make this accessible to everyone.

    However be aware that Tony doesn’t teach the basics in this publication such as linking, using affiliate platforms and so on – you can find those things on YouTube or by Googling.

    What Tony teaches are strategies you won’t find anywhere else that you can use in your own affiliate business.

    Here’s just some of what Tony shares:

    • The niches Tony’s personally promoted in (Page 9)
    • The ‘Elephant in the Room’ about Tony’s affiliate business (Page 10)
    • The TWO key types of affiliate marketer (and how to be both) (Page 11)
    • The killer leverage strategy that barely anyone uses (Page 13)
    • A lazy but deadly effective affiliate marketing shortcut (Page 14)
    • The ‘Reveal’ strategy for recurring monthly affiliate commissions (Page 17)
    • And a lot more!

    You get a no-fluff 53-page PDF publication that shares nine of the simplest, most effective strategies Tony’s developed for affiliate marketing income over the past ten years…

    … and how they’ve constantly brought Tony thousands of dollars every month.

    Grab your copy here and you can start using these strategies immediately, whether you are already an affiliate marketer or not.

  • The Most Bizarre Event in Olympic History

    The Most Bizarre Event in Olympic History

    Called the most bizarre event in Olympic history…

    The 1904 men’s summer marathon in St Louis and part of America’s first Olympics, was held in conjunction with World’s Fair…

    Celebrating the Louisiana Purchase centennial and showcasing America’s imperialism.

    Proving to be a bizarre event due to a chaotic and ridiculous series of incidents.

    Consisting of a mix of seasoned marathoners and of unusual participants…

    …ten inexperienced Greek runners, two barefoot South African tribesmen and a Cuban mailman.

    Named Felix Carbajal who arrived at the starting line in street clothes that was later modified by a fellow Olympian.      

    The race was run during the hottest part of the day on dusty roads with only minimal amounts of water.

    A 24.85 mile course, over rough terrain, and hills…

    The chief organizer, James Sullivan wanted to test the effects of dehydration.

    (Think I would have told him where to shove is test!)

    And these conditions led to countless incidents…

    One man, William Garcia nearly died from internal injuries caused by the dust.

    Another suffered vomiting, one man was chased off course by dogs…

    (Bet he ran like the clappers with those dogs at his heels.)

    and Caribajal took a nap mid-race after eating rotten apples.

    Fredrick Lorz hitched a ride for 11 miles after suffering cramps.

    A guy was even given the first reported incidence of performance-enhancing drug use in modern Olympics by his support team.

    Fredrick was initially declared the winner but later disqualified once it was discovered he’d cheated and hitched a ride.

    The actual winner was Thomas Hicks.

    Pretty dangerous marathon if you ask me…

    Zaf.

    P.S. Something not so dangerous…

    Chances are your affiliate marketing results are not as good as you want?

    The sad truth is most affiliates earn barely enough in commissions to make it worth the effort, let alone make a full-time living from it.

    Simply because they’re using the same tried and worn-out strategies as everyone else, whether they realise it or not.

    So, what is your current affiliate strategy?

    Do you apply for the latest launch and often get turned down?

    A few small changes to the way you work as an affiliate marketer (even if you haven’t started yet) and you can see BIG results.

    And that’s exactly what you’ll learn in the Retired Super Affiliate publication by Tony Shepherd…

    About the publication, Tony says:

    “If I had to start from scratch TODAY with no list, no products, no reputation and no contacts…

    … I could build up a full-time affiliate marketing income in a very short time indeed using these strategies I share in this publication.”


    Inside the publication, you’ll discover…

    • Reciprocity – How to benefit even if don’t have your own products (Page 29)
    • Strategy Five – How to create affiliate income streams (Page 34)
    • How to maximise your chances of profit from ANY paid traffic (Page 37)
    • Strategy 6 – A simple approach for LAZY affiliate marketers (Page 38)
    • And a hell of a lot more!

    Now just ask yourself this one question…

    Is it finally time to start changing things for yourself?

    Affiliate marketing is the fastest and easiest way for anyone to start a full-time online business…

    But you’re not going to go from ZERO to ten thousand dollars overnight but this is something where in my opinion you can see results faster than other things such as blogging or product creation.

    Now there’s no guarantee you’ll succeed with these strategies – after all I can’t make you do the work required but one thing can be said by the end of the publication you WILL have something concreate to act on.

    You also get a 5-page PDF cheat sheet as a bonus of the 9 strategies…

     just print off as a reminder and you’ll get access to this in the member’s area.

    (Note you won’t see the bonus on the sales page but on the checkout page.)And if you wish I can give you that right now by clicking here.

  • Why do people sniff themselves?

    Why do people sniff themselves?

    A new study was published in the scientific journal Physiology & Behavior…

    on self-sniffing (Olfactory self-inspection).

    They were using an online questionnaire about self-sniffing. 209 volunteers took part in the study.

    They answered questions about self-sniffing, hygiene, and disgust.

    From this, they learned that:

    1) The number one sniffed part of the body was the hands. Closely followed by the armpits, then hair, feet and breadth.

    (I don’t know about you, but I’ve got a fat chance of getting one of my feet anywhere near my nose.)

    2) The number one piece of clothing sniffed is…

    Worn T-shirts followed by worn trousers, socks and underwear.

    (hmm I don’t know about the underwear bit.)

    They say one way to sniff one’s body odour is to smell worn clothing items.

    3) There are three main types of self-sniffing

    • Social acceptability self-sniffing: sniffing worn clothes, and body parts to make sure they don’t smell.
    • Intimate self-sniffing: parts of the body you wouldn’t sniff in public, like the navel. (Now that would be a bloody impressive feat!)
    • Cosmetic self-sniffing: Checking if the perfume or shampoo still smells on parts of the body, they applied it to.

    4) Men & women sniff themselves differently

    They found that men had a higher frequency of intimate self-sniffing whilst women had a higher frequency of cosmetic self-sniffing.

    5) People with health problems sniffed themselves more

    Scientists found people with more frequent health issues showed more social acceptability self-sniffing than healthy people.

    Something else for you to take a good sniff at can be found in the P.S. below 😊

    Have a great Monday.

    Zaf.

    P.S. Something not to be sniffed at is affiliate marketing it’s the easiest way to get started with making money online.

    You don’t need a product to sell.
    You don’t need to worry about how to create a product.

    All You Need To Do Is Make A Few Small Changes To The Way You Work As An Affiliate Marketer (Even If You Haven’t Started Yet) To See BIG Results

  • Have you read Sort Your Brain Out?

    Have you read Sort Your Brain Out?

    A few months ago, I attended a seminar where I saw a big UK motivational speaker…

    In London at the Royal Society of Physicians.

    A guy called Adrian Webster…

    And I tell you he was bouncing all over the place, think he mentioned he has ADHD either that or he was on speed, hahaha.

    Though I have to say he was a great speaker and well sought after.

    He mentioned he had written a book, co-authored with Dr Jack Lewis called Sort Your Brain Out. 

    Intrigued I bought the book.

    And it’s a good read that describes what our brains do and how we can get the most out of them.

    One section on pages 91- 92 caught my attention…

    It describes how our expectations can influence our experiences both positively and negatively.

    And how restaurants, pubs, hotels, shops, and other places…

    manipulate your expectations to the pricier options they have.

    With lighting, music, scents and so on…

    all aimed to influence that part of your brain…

    influencing your sensory impressions in the most profitable direction.

    (Fascinating stuff but a bit bloody scary too.)

    I recall reading something like this in a copywriting book. Called something like creating a selling environment…

    It described how a top art gallery that sold very expensive paintings…

    gave anyone who walked in the red carpet treatment…

    they’d have soft low lighting as they walked down a very long corridor with a red carpet.

    Soft music was playing in the background before they entered a room with the painting.

    All to put the unsuspecting visitor in the right buying frame of mind…

    Something to be mindful of when visiting these places.

    Hope you have a great weekend.

    Zaf.

    P.S. Expectations can also influence success…

    And having a good coach could help with this. 

    I didn’t start to see success in my business till I invested in Rob’s coaching program Elevate

    Now if like me, you’ve no doubt gone from one shiny object to the next…

    To begin with I think this is something everyone goes through…

    before they find something that they have success with.

    But then there’s a BIG problem with this… you could get stuck in the shiny object syndrome for years.

    (And I know about this!)

    Or worse NEVER actually move beyond this.

    So, if you want to cut the time down by more than half to see some sort of success online?

    And learn:

    1) How to set up reoccurring income so you can sell once and get paid each month.

    2) How to create Nano Products that are lucrative, fun, rapid and refreshingly simple. (This is great if you’ve no experience whatsoever and no idea where to even begin.)

    3) How to properly build an email list starting from ZERO subscribers.

    (Exact step-by-step instructions showing you how to create a highly desirable lead magnet. And help you create your own bonuses for affiliate products and more!)

  • What do you hate?

    What do you hate?

    I was talking to my wife this morning and she looked out the kitchen window and said…

    “It’s blooming raining again!”

    Now I must agree I’m not too fond of the rain, especially that fine rain that completely soaks you…

    and I had to take my lad to school in that rain this morning.

    If I were to say what I hate the most…

    The first thing that springs to mind is “pickled beetroot”, I remember the first time I tried it.

    (And the last ever.)

    When I was about 15 my mum got me to try pickled beetroot from a jar.

    I still can recall the vinegary smell and texture as I bit into it, God it was damn awful.

    The gut-wrenching feeling I felt as I started to gag on the taste…

    and how the piece in my mouth shot out.

    I thought that it was the most disgusting thing I’ve ever tasted next to Marmite.

    If you haven’t heard of Marmite, it’s a UK spread with the well-known slogan…

    “Love it or hate it!”

    It was always advertised on UK TV; can’t say I’ve seen the ad in a while though.

    And I don’t love it for sure, lol… 

    Sometimes, the fear of not doing something we dislike can be stronger than continuing to do it.

    (So, we keep right on doing it, stuck in a perpetual loop.)

    Like working a 9 to 5 job… no job = no money.

    Best regards,

    Zaf.

    P.S. If you’ve been doing the online thing for a while and feel stuck in a job you dislike…

    or desire more freedom to live your preferred life.

    Then you may want to think about joining a coaching program; it’s one of the BEST decisions I’ve ever made.

    And a great one is Rob Cornish’s Elevate Coaching Program.

    Below is a picture of some of the recordings you’ll get…

    Picture of Elevate coaching program videos

    Inside you’ll get access to:

    1) Evergreen Affiliate Marketing Intensive – Go behind the scenes to see every detail how Rob brings in thousands in monthly affiliate commissions and how to set up the system yourself.

    2) Lead Generation – Your email list is the life blood of your business, so this section is dedicated to building your audience and your list.

    You get a lot in Rob’s coaching program…

    if it wasn’t for Rob’s coaching, I wouldn’t have achieved what I have.

  • My Simple First Bump Offer Bought In…

    My Simple First Bump Offer Bought In…

    I’ll first quickly explain what a bump offer is…

    A bump offer (sometimes known as an order bump) is a simple sales technique for advertising another offer to the customer during checkout.

    Screen shot of my bump offer

    Now you might be wondering…

    What’s the difference between a bump offer and an upsell?

    A bump offer is a promotional offer that’s displayed on the actual checkout page with a small checkbox option for either a related product or service.

    An upsell is usually an offer that compliments the original purchase and that is offered after you’ve made the first purchase.

    Taking you to another sales page.

    Look at this picture below.

    Image of how much i bought in with my first bump offer $851.50

    You can see that this bump offer brought in $851.00 so far, not too bad for a first-time bump offer.

    I haven’t been promoting this product for a little while as I’ve been working on another larger product…

    once this is ready to be launched, I’ll probably increase the price from $37.

    It covers 17 of the best ways to get buyer traffic to your website or offer.

    This a simple 153-page pdf that took quite a lot of research, adding some of my own experience and time to put together.

    But…

    I can now use this to sell separately to package with other products and even as a bonus…

    for affiliate products, etc.

    It’s always good to keep in mind what other ways you can use the products you create.

    Zaf.

  • Poisoned by my local chippy

    Poisoned by my local chippy

    A couple of years ago I think now…

    Our usual weekend thing was to order a takeaway from the local chippy.

    I ordered my usual which at that time was a chicken shish kabab.

    And it was delicious.

    The next morning, however, I woke and felt bad, I got bad stomach pains, feeling sick and diarrhoea.

    I called the docs and got a callback.

    (at that time, it was easy to get a same-day callback, not so now though)

    After describing my symptoms and telling the doc which chippy I ordered from, she advised I had food poisoning…

    apparently, that chippy we ordered from was under investigation for other cases of food poisoning…

    (Just my bloody luck!)

    I have to admit my memory is a bit sketchy on the exact details like I said it was a few years ago.

    And from what I can remember that chippy got taken over by new owners.

    Anyways…

    A few months past and I all but forgotten about the incident that is until I got a letter through the post.

    I was invited to participate in a survey, it seemed I’d got some rare or unusual type of food poisoning and they wanted to learn more about my experience.

    I couldn’t believe it…

    I showed the letter to my wife, and she thought it was bloody hilarious.

    Needless to say, I didn’t order from that chippy again.

    Have a great day.

    Zaf.

    P.S. If you’re sick of the results of your affiliate marketing.

  • Have you received any duplicate emails?

    Have you received any duplicate emails?

    I noticed that in a few Facebook groups I’m in people are still talking about the changes going on with email.

    I’ve seen I’ve had a few duplicated emails come through to my inbox from a couple of marketers recently.

    (if you happen to have received any from me, would you please let me know?)

    Reminds me of when the GPDR changed for emailing and the panic that was around that…

    I updated my DMARC, DKIM and SPF records on my hosting account in December just gone in preparation for the coming changes with Google.

    I don’t know about you, but I thought Google’s instructions were a bit confusing…

     I have seen a lot of people ask if they needed to put this in place as they send less than 5,000 emails a day.

    Using ActiveCampaign instructions made this easy to do…

    Though interestingly on the 1st Feb, I got a message on my ActiveCampagin account saying I needed to authenticate my domain.

    Hopefully, you should be receiving my emails ok?

    Anyways…

    Speaking of emails

  • Have you ever watched the 100?

    Have you ever watched the 100?

    It’s about a group of children (100) that were born on a space station orbiting the earth. 97 years ago…

    the Earth was devastated by a nuclear apocalypse.

    With the only survivors being the inhabitants of the orbiting space station at the time.

    Three generations later 100 kids get sent to Earth.

    By season two I started to get into it but then on episode 10, it said “Pay for episode 10”.

    What! You’ve got to be kidding me?

    Talk about being annoyed…

    Wouldn’t been so bad if there weren’t another 5 seasons at about $1878 for each season.

    Am I going to pay to the rest of the seasons? HECK NO

    I’ll find something else to watch.

    Now that’s great marketing in Amazon Prime right there!

    (I’m sure some people would buy some if not all the episodes, especially after getting hooked on the series.)

    If you can create content like one of these episodes that suck people in and leave them wanting more.

    You’ll not have any problems selling affiliate products or your own products.

    Zaf.

    P.S. Yesterday I mentioned that I bought Matt Bacak’s new book…

    Secret Email System

    I’ve took quite a few notes when I read it.

    As I was reading, I came across this quote from Matt that says…

    “Six seconds, that’s all you have got to make a sale.

    Six seconds.

    You will know that you have an irresistible offer when people say something along the lines –

    I must buy that right now”.

    That’s not long at all when writing an email is it?

    And did you know that there are four types of emails that you should be writing?

    Heck, I know I didn’t…

    If you want to know how to write emails that get opened, read, and actually make sales…

    Then you need to grab yourself a copy of Matt’s book.

    Inside you’ll discover:

    1) The easiest way for you to start and set yourself up for success.

    2) The number one thing you need to do before even attempting to build your email list.

    3) What you need to do to shortcut your way to money.

    4) The real secret to picking affiliate programs that will make you the most money.

    And a lot more.

    If you haven’t yet got Matt’s new book, then I highly recommend picking up a copy today before he ends up increasing the price…
