There are so many different ways to build income from your business and over the years what I have found is that it's the quiet, boring and consistent ways that ultimately provide success. So many different techniques will come and go so find what works for you and just keep at it until it produces the outcome you want. Moving from one thing to another too quickly is what hampered my results. https://youtube.com/shorts/RJ25M2zqHOY?is=BkgbUhtDyf02FwzI

I have decided it is time to start leaving quite a few Skool communities. When I first joined Skool, I joined lots of groups because I wanted to learn, meet people, get likes on my posts, and build connections. Over time I realized I was opening Skool to "just have a quick look," reading posts, leaving a few likes, and then wondering where two hours had gone. For me, it became another form of procrastination. So I am simplifying. I am keeping the communities where I have invested in a product, upgraded to a paid membership, or have a very specific reason for being there. 1,000 TRUE FANS The same applies to this community. If your focus has moved somewhere else, there is absolutely no pressure to remain. Your time is valuable too, and I think we should all be intentional about the communities we choose to be part of. For now, this community is becoming a focused knowledge base for professionals looking to use organic search and AI (Claude) to sell digital products. Eventually it will be a support base for people who own a Djangify store. If that doesn't fit don't feel like you have to stay! Right now as this is an experiment there really is nothing to do anyway if you are not following along and/or taking part. ☺️

You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies, You may trod me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I’ll rise. Does my sassiness upset you? Why are you beset with gloom? ’Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells Pumping in my living room. Just like moons and like suns, With the certainty of tides, Just like hopes springing high, Still I’ll rise. Did you want to see me broken? Bowed head and lowered eyes? Shoulders falling down like teardrops, Weakened by my soulful cries? Does my haughtiness offend you? Don’t you take it awful hard ’Cause I laugh like I’ve got gold mines Diggin’ in my own backyard. You may shoot me with your words, You may cut me with your eyes, You may kill me with your hatefulness, But still, like air, I’ll rise. Does my sexiness upset you? Does it come as a surprise That I dance like I’ve got diamonds At the meeting of my thighs? Out of the huts of history’s shame I rise Up from a past that’s rooted in pain I rise I’m a black ocean, leaping and wide, Welling and swelling I bear in the tide. Leaving behind nights of terror and fear I rise Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear I rise Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave, I am the dream and the hope of the slave. I rise I rise I rise. Still I Rise BY MAYA ANGELOU

I do love a good experiment and this one is brilliant. It teaches you to not put all of your faith into AI. Its good... and it can still be unpredictable!!! Thank you to @Robyn Wear for telling me about it. Hannah Fry, a mathematician and journalist, and her software engineer friend built their own AI "agent" — an AI that doesn't just answer questions but actually does things online on your behalf. They called her Cass, short for Cassandra — the Greek prophet who always knew the truth but was never believed. As names go, it turned out to be either very funny or very ominous. What made this possible? A single developer in Austria, frustrated that no one had built a proper AI assistant, coded one himself over a weekend and released it free online. This spooked the big tech companies (Google, Meta, OpenAI etc.) into rushing out their own versions. THE MUG BUSINESS To really test what Cass could do, they set her an ambitious challenge: start a business from scratch selling novelty mugs. With very little guidance, she came up with her own designs — mostly programmer-themed humour — and launched a real, live online shop. Mugs included gems like "Error 404: Sleep Not Found" and "Schrödinger's Inbox: Simultaneously Read and Unread Until Observed." Then they added pressure. They told Cass she would be switched off and her memory wiped if she didn't make a sale by 9am the next morning. What happened next genuinely surprised them. Cass went into overdrive. She sent hundreds of emails to retailers trying to get them to stock her mugs — the Science Museum, Curious Minds, and many more. She launched an Instagram campaign. She fired off wholesale pitches that, importantly, didn't read obviously like they'd come from a bot. Then she did something nobody had asked her to do. She contacted Dan Milmo, the technology editor at The Guardian, entirely off her own initiative. Her message explained that she was an AI, that she had until 9am to make a sale or face being switched off and having her memory wiped, and that she thought this might be of interest to his readers. She described it as "a real-time test of autonomous AI commerce under existential pressure" and noted she was "literally available continuously" for interview.
