See... novelty sells. So I'm here to collect novelty today. Share your novel → unhinged business ideas in the comments. I'll go first 👇

There's a format of email I learned from this Halbert Ad that, whenever I apply it, I make sales. Every single time. Inevitably. One email doesn't fix a leaky sales pipeline, but still, this one has been a trusted and tested template for some time now. Notice that it has two separate bullet sections that serve two distinct purposes. And that's key. The first set is for your audience to self-identify or filter for a good fit. And the second is for creating fascination for the offer itself. Study this ad, use it in your emails, and let us know if it works for you, too. ✌️😎

If you could wake up late around 10 AM, and by dinnertime have $26,000 plunk into your bank account... From one sale... Would that be worth getting out of bed for, or is that a "meh?" 🤔 Last week, I watched an auction go from $1 to $26,000 in 8 hours. John ran an auction last December that capped out at $31,000. Auctions are hot, they're only getting hotter, and people aren't getting sick of them anytime soon because they are FUN! Auctions are also "forgiving" in a sense that you can do everything wrong and still wind up with cash in hand. (I ran a PENNY auction earlier this year...yes, a PENNY auction, with bids starting at one cent...screwed up every step of the way...and still walked away with a "not too shabby" $1,000 collected PLUS my community was going absolutely nuts with engagement.) What's your gut saying right now about auctions? Drop a vote below... 👇👇🏻👇🏼👇🏽👇🏾👇🏿

I'm curious, what's your status as of today?

I'm pretty sure I let in a couple of bot accounts lately. One recent account made some very human-like comments. Only when it made an intro post did something feel off... so I went snooping, and yep! It made the exact same post in some other communities, too. A bot to promote Floment AI or something... So not only are bots opening Stripe accounts, getting their own email inboxes, reading our websites, and collecting bounties.... but they're interacting with human users. And making comments that are eerily human-like. Even knows how to customize replies to match the group and discussions. This bot account made this same intro post in this group, and a few other groups, including a beading group 🫠 Just changed a few words to match the group. The screenshot shows the intro post in a beading group. The one it posted here just had daily emails... UGHHH!!!!! And people are actually communicating like it's a person!!!!! At least something felt off this time... slightly... But who knows... in a few days, we may not even know the difference between a real person and a bot... Anyway... scary stuff...
