  • I’ve been using ChatGPT to create some AI prompts.

    It’s been another warm 21 degrees here in Notts today.

    And according to the weather app, it’s going to stay warm for the next couple of weeks.

    (We’ll see how long that lasts, lol.)

    Today’s email is just a quick one…

    For the past couple of days I’ve been working on creating some new bonuses for my current upsell I have.

    All with the help of ChatGPT to outline them.

    Here’s one of the prompts that ChatGPT created:

    “Write a short-form tip for beginners who want to grow their email list. Make it practical and easy to apply. Add a hook at the top and a soft CTA at the bottom linking to a free guide.”

    And here’s a screenshot below of both the prompt and output.

    That prompt is a value post or quick tip prompt.

    It took me a couple of hours to get what I was looking for but so far it hasn’t done too bad.

    What do you think?

    I found that the more information you can provide in your prompts the better the results.

    Zaf.

  • I used AI to create a simple eCourse

    Quite a few months back now I decided to create an eCourse.
    For beginners in email marketing.

    I used two free tools.

    One is for the opt-in page, and the other is to create the Course.

    Below is a screenshot of the opt-in page created using Systeme.io.

    I created the eCourse using the free version of ChatGPT.

    Uploaded the email to Systeme in an email campaign, and also created what’s known as a subdomain.

    Now the subdomain part is NOT necessary it was something I was testing out.

    (If you don’t know what this is then do a quick Google search.)

    And I did YouTube videos linking to the opt-in page.

    And then left it and checked a few months later to find that I had a few subscribers.

    I created the eCourse by entering this prompt into ChatGPT :

    “Please create me a 7-Day Email Marketing Course for beginners in email marketing which Is to be delivered by email for new subscribers.”

    After a couple of iterations, I got a good eCourse.

    I’ve gone through this procedure today and it’s remarkable the improvement in the output since the last time I did this.

    As you see there’s NO reason why you can’t start building an email list for free.

    Zaf.

  • 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.

    P.S. If you’ve ever struggled with earning commission with affiliate marketing, then I HIGHLY recommend you take a look and secure your copy of Ben Fletcher’s…

  • Creating a great hook for your product or copy

    The weather here in the UK today is extremely warm it’s 10:57 am and already it’s 17 degrees outside and it’s forecast to reach 21 degrees and in other parts of the UK may be even higher.

    With the easing of lockdown on Monday just gone and the warm weather gives us plenty to look forward to.

    Creating A Hook

    A good habit to get into before even attempting to create a new product is first to think about the HOOK or title for your product. 

    Hook

    A great hook can mean the difference between fantastic sales or mediocre sales to no sales at all.

    You can use sites such as Amazon and Magazines.com and look at the non-fiction titles

    Doing a search on Amazon for the word lose weight brings up titles:



    • Lose Weight For Good: Full-flavour Cooking For a Low-calorie Diet
    • Bike Your Butt Off!: A Breakthrough Plan to Lose Weight and Start Cycling (No Experience Necessary!)
    • The Water Fasting Guide: How To Restore Your Body, Heal Yourself, Feel Better and Lose Weight With Water Fasting

    And searching self-help:

    • I’m Worth More:  Realize Your Value. Unleash Your Potential
    • Good Vibes, Good Life: How Self-Love Is The Key To Unlocking Your Greatness
    • Coffee Self Talk: 5 Minutes a Day To Start Living Your Magical Life

    If you live in the UK then you’ll find you won’t be able to access Magazines.com at least not without using a VPN.

    But if do a search on google for Magazine and select images this will bring up tons of images of different magazine covers with some great headlines.

    That you can use in both your sales copy, optin pages and hooks

    And looking at just below the google search you can see a ton of different magazines you can click on from fashion to food 🙂

    A great tip for this that will also help with productivity is a variation of the Pomodoro Technique.

    Simple make notes of possible HOOKS using the above resources, while setting a google timer for 20-40 minutes then stop when done.

    Doing one or two sessions like this will get some good ideas for hooks for your product or headline.

    Best Regards

    Google reverse image search, lets you search on an image and find related images, your search may include:

    You can do this on most browsers such as:

    • Chrome
    • Firefox
    • Safari

    Now, this gets interesting when you doing research, for example, suppose you want to do some research on someone in your niche to see what sites, social profiles etc they have.

    How to do the google images search

    To do the search first open a tab in chrome or Firefox and click the icon for google images.

    Goolge

    This will then display the below, you can then select what option you wish to do. We will use the option to drag and drop an image.

    Google image search

    And then open another tab and head over to Amazon and do a search say on email marketing. Here the top search is for The 1-Page Marketing Plan.

    Searching on Amazon to find an expert in your niche

    From here we can then click on the title of the book to check the author

    searching for author's name on Amazon

    Click the author’s name, which we can see is Allan Dib, this brings up the author’s profile and his picture.

    drag and drop image of author into google images

    Next, we need to left-click on the image and keeping the mouse pressed drag it over to the google images tab.

    Google Image search results

    This can be quite valuable for research purposes…

    Looking for images for your blog posts

    Another use for google images is if we see an image on a blog post we like we can see where this image came from. The below image is from my own post. If I right-click the image and choose the option to open the image in another tab (using chrome for this example, I’ve used an image from my website).

    Another example looking for images for your blog posts

    After right-clicking and choosing the option to open the image in a new tab it will then bring the image up in a new tab.

    open the image in a new tab

    The image will then open in another tab, as below. You then need to left-click the image again and drag (but don’t let go of the left click) to the google images tab at the top, then drag down onto the google images search option and let go, give it about a minute and it will do a search as I have below.

    Scrolling down you can see the searches for “pages that include matching images.”

    From the list, you can see the image I used for this blog post appears on quite a few sites and is one that I got from Pexels a free photograph.

  • A great little free tool I use

    A great little free tool I use

    I’m sure you’ve heard this saying countless times “Give the customer what they want”.

    Here is a great guide to help you in your business.

    This is a great little trick I learned from another marketer Rob Cornish over at https://www.gainhigherground.com/blog that will help you in finding content to help build various products from creating a lead magnet to help build your email list, small product

    This process involves you going to YouTube and then searching on your niche plus the words “how-to”, so for this example say our niche is Golf.

    YouTube search golf

    Going to YouTube and searching for “Golf how” and scroll through and select popular channels.

    then click on the channel name, not the video, then from there select the video tab and click sort by most popular.

    YouTube golf channel

    Doing this then gives us an overview of what people in this market are the most interested in. From the first video, you can see the most popular is “How I got my golf swing” then “How to hit your irons pure”, and “How I shape my irons”.

    From this you can see what topics people are interested in, this takes the need out of going to keyword tools as you can see by the views what people are interested in.

    Here’s another market we can try

    Searching on “Law of Attraction how to” we find the below channels.

    Law of Attraction how to

    So, again we select the video tab and select sort by the most popular.

    Law of Attraction Channel

    Here we see the most popular video here is “Sleep technique for attracting”, “Affirmations Meditation to attract love instantly”, and “Powerful morning routine for the law of attraction” are just a few here.

    Another market we can look at is Yoga.

    Yoga how to

    Picking one of the most popular Yoga channels.

    Yoga channel

    From this, we can see the most popular video for this channel is Yoga for complete beginners: 20-minute Home Yoga.

    Looking at this we can see that it’s got 25 Million views, from this we can see it’s for people who have an interest in learning Yoga but haven’t got a lot of time spare. From this, we could create a free report base around this, use as a blog post or even on a sales or opt-in page.

    Finding out what people want

    From this you’re becoming more precise on what people want, not having to guess.

    And here’s more for you “martial arts how to”

    Martial arts channel

    Most popular on this channel is Punch Defence Tips – How to defend punches more effectively, how to hit a heavy bag for beginners, how to take a punch in a fight and even how to defend against a knife attack.

    All you must do is check 2-3 hot channels in your market and you can get some really good content for your lead magnet.

    Looking at a big niche Copywriting you can really narrow down what people are looking for.

    Copy writing chanel

    The most popular video here is “How to become a copywriter (with no experience)” as you can see some of these videos can give some great headline ideas.

    Now I hope you can see it doesn’t need to take days to find the info theirs is any perfect way of doing this but with more knowledge and little tools like this it can really make things easier for you.

    Hope this has helped you…

  • The Baffling Unsolved Case of the disappearance of Boris Weisfeiler

    The Baffling Unsolved Case of the disappearance of Boris Weisfeiler

    The year was 1984 and Boris Weisfeiler decided to book a trip to Chile to escape the cold wintery weather he booked his trip to hiking several trails in the Andes mountains. It’s thought that Boris tried to cross during his hiking trip.

    And that was the last seen of him, the only sign he’d been nearby the river was his backpack that was found on the riverbank along with his footprints going northward toward a bridge near Colonia. Boris never returned home or was ever seen again.

    Chile

    The local authorities in chile assumed that he had drowned while trying to cross over the river, his body was never recovered. The strangest thing is that 16 years later after his disappearance declassified US documents revealed that Boris who was in fact a State University professor may have been murdered in Chile.

    These documents allege that a witness saw Boris being interrogated at an agricultural commune before being shot.

    On August the 21 2012, a Chile Judge ordered the arrest of eight retired police and military officers in connection with the alleged kidnapping and disappearance of Boris Weisfeiler. According to the court findings the suspects were to have been prosecuted for “aggravated kidnapping” and “complicity” in the disappearance of a US citizen.

    The case was close in 2016 after the judge ruled to be a common crime…
