This community is a lot of work. And I plan to add more work in the near future. So, I'm turning it into a paid community... NOT a recurring payment, just a one-time fee to weed out grifters. Everyone who's in this group right now will continue to stay in this group, no payments necessary ever. Consider this my heartfelt thanks for your support early on :) Got any questions for me?

Here's something I tried recently that didn't work: I get bored easily, so I keep trying new things to entertain myself. Recently, I tried it with the Write Without AI workshop. I sold it in two phases back-to-back: Early bird (cheaper) > then regular price. I thought most people would get it at the cheaper early bird price. I had zero buyers 🙃 All of the sales came AFTER the price increase. I tried a similar scheme last year, when I launched my Email List-Building OS, and the exact same thing happened then, too. I thought it was a fluke then. But now it's become a pattern. So this experiment ends here, I guess. No more early bird pricing. Anyway, in case you followed the promo... word of advice... don't do what I did.

Not all of you are on social media, but many of you are at least on some sort of platform, I'm assuming. For traffic, lead gen, etc. OK so, for example, I'm on Pinterest. It's a visual search engine, so I get decent traffic from Pinterest to my blog, and a decent chunk of said traffic converts to subscribers, too. I mean, Google (thanks to SEO) is still my biggest traffic source, but adding just one other platform definitely helps. So, here's a poll for you: What's your primary platform of choice? Vote below and then let me know in the comments whether you're currently using it with some level of success, or if you want to start using it because you've heard good things. And if you vote "somethin' else" then let me know that in the comments, too.

I was following the Kit Course & stumbled upon something that confused/upset me. Few years ago, when I first started trying to learn Convertkit, if I remember correctly, the Sequences feature was available, in a limited way, in the Free Plan. Now, it's under a paywall along with the visual automations. Their website says I can create 1 sequence & 1 visual automation: https://help.kit.com/en/articles/9053602-the-kit-newsletter-plan, but nope. It immediately prompts me to subscribe when I try 🥲 So... has it been always like this or since a couple of years ago or is it new? am I right for feeling like this or should I chill? I think I should chill... 😗

I'm an impatient person. ADHD maybe... but it goes beyond that. Sometimes I get a product idea, and I jump the gun because it feels almost physically painful to wait to validate an idea... I'd rather make a thing and have that flop than validate. Speaking of impatience... I dated a guy who, for whatever freaky reason, would call me while in the middle of playing video games, and sometimes I'd ask a question and he'd literally answer after minutes (I counted)... after slaying some monsters and collecting loot, I presume... it came to a point where my first question after answering his calls was always... "err... are you in the middle of a game?" That reeeeally tested me. Anyway, I digress.... All that said... I *have* validated product ideas in the past. It's a very short list of 5 different ways. So, let's play a game. Guess one validation method in my list, followed by whether it's a yay method or a blah method. Yay → as in this method tells you whether someone is actually interested in the product or not Blah → the opposite of yay If you get the right combo, I'll tell you the name of the book I just ordered and the one I just finished reading. Go pikachoooo PS: the dude called me tonight (we stay in touch) to say "what's up, haven't talked in a month!" then went quiet... 🤣
