  • 5 Most Unusual Phobias

    5 Most Unusual Phobias

    Everyone has something that makes them feel uncomfortable…

    Such as spiders or elevators but normally we tend to cope with them.

    It’s said that the greatest fear is public speaking, but most people can do it if they’re forced to.

    However, for some being in a certain situation or around a certain thing can cause so much fear that they go to so many lengths to avoid it all together.

    Then it becomes a phobia…

    Below are 5 of the most unusual phobias.

    1. Eisoptrophobia: Fear of mirrors, thought to come from superstitions or scenes from horror movies.

    2. Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia: Fear of long words, also known as sesquipedalophobia. (Damn talk about a mouthful, eh?)

    3. Lachanophobia: Fear of vegetables. People with this phobia can experience extreme anxiety when seeing or even thinking about vegetables.

    4.  Globophobia: Fear of balloons. Related to past experiences to the balloons popping or loud popping noises. (Interestingly this one my wife has, from a childhood experience of a dog biting her when the noise of the balloon popped and now, she can’t stand to be near balloons.)

    5. Nomophobia: Fear of being without a phone. Now this is one most people can relate to. Though we wouldn’t experience intense and persistent anxiety. (Saying that when I’ve not been able to find my damn phone, I certainly have, lol.)

    Did you spot what words that number 5 is made up of?

    Me neither!

    No Mo phobia – No Mobile Phobia…

    (Something that can stress a lot of newbie marketers out – making affiliate commissions see P.S. below.)

    I hope you have a great Tuesday.

    Zaf.

  • Highest Ever Speeding Fine

    Highest Ever Speeding Fine

    Speeding is the most common traffic offense with around 42 million speeding tickets issued in the US each year.

    In Finland, things work a little differently the amount you pay for a speeding ticket depends on how much you earn a year.

    In 2023 a 76-year-old Finnish millionaire got slapped $130,000 fine for going over the speed limit of more than 18.6mph.

    (Don’t that just make your mind boggle? That’s more than the average person earns in a whole year and more.)

    In a zone that was roughly 32mph.

    And had his license suspended for 10 days.

    Said to be the world’s highest-ever fine…

    The Nya Aaland newspaper reported:

    “I really regret the matter,” Wiklöf was quoted as saying. “I had just started slowing down, but I guess that didn’t happen fast enough. It’s how it goes.”

    That money was probably peanuts for that guy, lol.

    (Check the P.S. below for something that won’t cost you an arm and a leg.)

  • The BIG 4 Questions

    The BIG 4 Questions

    Whenever someone is thinking of buying something they have a very specific inner conversation with themselves…

    and this is the same regardless of what they’re buying.

    Whether affiliate products, your products, or services…

    And to understand this inner dialogue that a person buying has you need to ask these four BIG questions that they’re asking themselves.

    The first two are:

    1) What are you trying to sell me?

    2) How much?

    Looking at these two questions then we can see that the buyer really is asking – what is your offer?

    And your message must reassure them that what you have to offer is of reasonable price and quality.

    And if it isn’t you may have got them to buy your offer once, but they won’t buy from you again.

    One who knows how to make a quality offer will have a happy repeat buyer.

    After the offer has been made these leave two more questions that should always be addressed.

    3) Why should I believe you?

    And indeed, why should they?

    If the offer you’re making seems too good to be true, then this will raise doubt.

    People have to believe that you’re not going to rip them off.

    An offer only works if it’s got credibility behind it.

    And the last question…

    4) What’s in it for me?

     WIIFM is the acronym for this one.

    You might be thinking… hang on didn’t we answer this in the first question “What are you trying to sell me?”

    Nope… you see people buy products but what they really want are the benefits that product gives them.

    Or how it makes them feel emotionally, such as buying a diet program to lose weight.

    The person wants to look good in their swimwear when they go on holiday.

    Understanding these four questions will help you communicate more clearly in your marketing message.

    I hope you found this useful.

    Zaf.

    P.S. If you want to communicate more clearly in your emails or even start and build a responsive email list that actually makes money…

    then you need first to find an irresistible offer and that’s what Matt teaches you in his new book Secret Email System

  • Biggest unfair mess-up in UK history

    Biggest unfair mess-up in UK history

    In January of this year, there was a series on the BBC (UK TV)…

    MR Bates vs The Post Office.

    If you live in the UK, you know you may have watched it or seen it on the news.

    It was a four-part drama that ran over four consecutive nights.

    A semi-fictionalize (according to the BBC) account of the Post Office Horizon Scandal…

    And a proper mess that bosses at post offices all over the UK were wrongly accused of stealing and tampering with the book accounts…

    For nearly 20 years starting in 1999 over 700 postmasters got into serious trouble, some even facing prosecution.

    But get this: it wasn’t anything to do with the managers… nope it was a computer program glitch in the Horizon system screwing things up.

    The software made it look like money was disappearing from the post offices when it wasn’t.

    And when the accused postmaster tried to explain that the fault was down to their software and not them, they got fired.

    With some even having to pay the post office back out of their life’s savings or ending up in prison…

    One lady was pregnant when she got thrown behind bars…

    And according to the BBC the “most widespread miscarriage of justice in UK history”.

    The devastating effects were felt by thousands of innocent people involved and their families, going bankrupt, losing their homes, marriage split-ups mental health and even suicide.

    And for the past 25 years, a group of workers have fought to clear their names led by Alan Bates (formerly a postmaster) and by 2020 a few slowly began to get their charges dropped with an inquiry launched in 2021.

    Within days of the last series, more than a million people signed a petition demanding that the CEO at the time Paula Venells give back her CBE given to her by Queen Elizabeth II in 2009.

    On January 9th she did, and UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said he would bring in a new law to “Swiftly exonerate and compensate the victims”.

    If you haven’t watched this yet and like true-life dramas, you probably enjoy it.

    P.S. Something not so dramatic but can have a profound influence on the money you make …

  • First record of witches

    First record of witches

    Witches are described as someone who can communicate with supernatural beings and cast spells.

    The first recorded mention of witches is in the first book of Samuel in the Bible, dating between 931 and 721 BC.

    Various cultures perceived witches differently…

    in ancient Egypt witches were well respected in society, it was believed their powers came from God.

    They were regularly consulted by citizens for amulets and protection spells.

    Also having other valuable skills such as alchemy, reading the stars and creating herbal mixtures.

    Some cultures though feared witches such as in medieval Europe…

    Witches had a bad reputation and were seen as the work of the Devil.

    Witches and their black pointy hat are standard throughout history…

    There are many theories to try and explain this but the most common one about witches and brooms is from the Middle Ages.

    At that time, it was common for people to use hallucinogens like nightshade, and mandrake in ointments and infusions.

    (Bloody hell everyone must have been high as a kite back then, lol.)

    It was discovered later that just rubbing themselves on sweaty parts of their body like the armpits and the crotch was enough to get them high.  

    (Hahaha, can you imagine!)

    Writings started to appear around this time of witches using brooms to consume psychoactive compounds…

    and it is thought that witches flying their brooms came about from people who had vivid dreams caused by these compounds.

    And the iconic pointy hat?

    Again, various theories one being that the style of the hat can be traced to the Ouakers…

    a persecuted Christian denomination that rose in 17th-century England.

    Interesting and crazy stuff…

    (Check the P.S. below for something that isn’t at all witchy… )

    I hope you’ve had a good day.

    Zaf.

    P.S. You don’t need to be popping magic mushrooms to know that doing evergreen affiliate marketing is the best way to keep bringing in the money …

    feeling frustrated by conflicting advice, confusing often contradictory advice given by dozens of supposed experts.

    Then you may be interested in Rob Cornish’s Free book:

    Evergreen Passive Income With Affiliate Marketing.

  • crazy to think…

    crazy to think…

    Nowadays you wouldn’t think twice about hopping in an elevator instead of taking the stairs…

    You’d most likely think twice though if you thought that it could be the last ride of your life.

    Almost two centuries ago that was a real possibility…

    If the cables had snapped or frayed to the point of breaking, then anyone in the lift would have plummeted to their death.

    And most likely did.

    That is until Elisha Otis came along…

    In 1854 the Otis Elevator company invented and began marketing a device that could stop an elevator from falling to the ground if its rope snapped.

    But rather than just telling people about his invention Elisha took it one step further.

    By going to the World’s Fair at the Crystal Palace in New York City and rode an elevator from high up in the air.

    Ordering the rope to be cut that was holding the elevator. He didn’t fall to his death…

    (The guy had some balls pulling that stunt.)

    And the crowd loved it, amazed by how the elevator had managed to stay safe high up in the sky without plummeting.

    That day marked the change in elevator safety and trust in the technology skyrocketed forever after.

    And it wasn’t long before Otis’s design was in nearly every building in New York City and beyond.

    Crazy to think that before this people used to risk their lives riding in an elevator.

    P.S. Something a little bit more down to earth…

  • Uncovering a market desire

    Uncovering a market desire

    As you probably already know there’s one thing you need to do if you want to make any sort of money online…

    And that’s simply building an email list.

    To do that you must first have a highly desirable lead magnet.

    And the criteria for creating a high-converting lead magnet?

    Are these factors:

    1. Creating Instant Desire – when someone lands on your opt-in page you want them to think something like

      “hmm I like the looks of that I think I’ll get it!”

      and for that to happen you must appeal to your target market’s core desires.

    2. Adding Value -You know the old saying “Don’t judge a book by its cover’.

      We all know that most people do…

      Your lead magnet must be as helpful as possible and create a positive experience for new subscribers.

      This will help boost engagement and allow you to make more money.

    3. Easily Digestible Quick Win – Giving a 200-page PDF or 2-hour video…

      will put a lot of people off as you’re asking for them to invest a significant amount of time to consume your content when they’re brand new to your business.

      It’s much better to give either a 2-page PDF or a 5-minute video which is more likely to be seen as a “quick win” that can easily be consumed in a short amount of time.

    The most important of these?

    Appealing to the desires of people in your niche that they already have.

    30 Second trick to dial in desire:

    The best place to look to uncover a markets desire is to look where people are already spending their time and money.

    Why’s this so valuable?

    If you want to figure out what people really want in a money-making online market, just check out where they’re hanging out and spending their cash.

    The deal here is, folks don’t casually throw around their time and money unless they’re expecting something they genuinely desire in return.

    The best place to look to see where people are spending their time is YouTube:

    Step 1: Is to go to YouTube.com.

    Step 2: Search for your niche such as “dog training”

    Step 3: Click the “Filters” button at the top and select “Channel.”

    (That’s just a small bit of what you’ll discover, check the P.S. below.)

    Give it a try and let me know what you think.

    Zaf.

  • Creating identities to achieve goals

    Creating identities to achieve goals

    I hope you’re having a good Sunday…

    Today I’ve been flipping back through a book by Todd Herman:

    The Alter Ego Effect.

    If you’ve never heard of Todd Herman…

    He’s a specialist in getting the best out of people and when sports people or businessmen need specific results

    They call Todd.

    He’s worked with some of the biggest names in sports and business.

    At the start of the book is an interesting section on Bo Jackson.

    Bo is the only athlete in the big four of major North American sports to be an all-star in two of them…

    Major League Baseball and the National Football League and who transcended sports in the 80s.

    As a kid, Bo had challenges containing his emotions and would get into a lot of trouble because of his anger.

    Caught up in the competition and retaliating against the smallest perceived slights, resulting in unnecessary penalties.

    Now here is where it gets interesting…

    One day whilst watching a Friday the 13th movie, Bo became fascinated by the unemotional, cold, and relentless nature of Jason.

    During the movie Bo resolved to stop being Bo Jackson and start being Jason on the football field, leaving the uncontrollable rage on the sidelines.

    Bo says the Jason only lived on the football field and when he walked out of the locker room and reached the football field, Jason would enter his body and take over.

    Transforming Bo from the hotheaded, penalty prone, easy-to-provoke person into a relentless, cold, and disciplined destroyer on the football field.

    By imagining himself as Jason…

    this helped him focus every ounce of his talent and skill, allowing him to show up on the field, without any emotional issues interfering with his performance.

    Sounds a bit out there, eh?

    To fully grasp the idea, you have to read the book.

    (Essentially, you’re creating identities to achieve goals in life.)

    And as one subscriber said to me…

    “I feel like I’m always getting in the way of my own success.”

    But what if you could imagine being successful whilst doing what you needed to do?

    And not get In the way of your success!

    As Einstein said:

    Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution.”

    If you haven’t read the book, I recommend you take a look, it’s a great read…

    Zaf.

  • Love him or hate him?

    Love him or hate him?

    Most people have heard of Conor McGregor whether they follow MMA (mixed martial arts) or not…

    Taking the UFC by storm with only having 5 UFC fights before getting a title shot.

    And way ahead of much more deserving fighters…

    Dan White, UFC president was reported to say about Conor.

    He’s a bigger draw for the company than two of its all-time highest pay-per-view sellers:e

    Former champs Brock Lesnar and Georges St-Pierr.

    McGregor is hated by many of his fighting comrades – everyone wanted to see him get knocked on his ass.

    Master of self-promotion, pissing off people wherever he went…

    He was insulting everyone in his path.

    Love him or hate him; you most certainly can’t ignore him…

    Reminds me of the two biggest UK wrestlers of the late ’70s & ’80s – Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks.

    Both gained quite a following: Big Daddy as the good guy and Giant Haystacks as the villain…

    …who pissed everyone off and that everyone loved to hate.

    And as Dan Kennedy says:

    “If you’re not pissing someone off before lunchtime, you’re not doing much of anything”

    If you want to stand out online in an overcrowded marketplace you need to stand for something…

    And as Gary Bencivenga says:

    “You’ll find that when you clearly stand for something, you’ll never stand alone.

    Indeed, standing for something special in your overcrowded marketplace sets you apart from armies of me-too competitors who try to be everything to everybody,

    and wind up meaning nothing special to everyone.”
