I’m interested in experimenting with this challenge if I can figure out how to squeeze it in among my other scheduled promotions this month.

Things that I use. Like Maliha said. If I actually use it, and it actually gets me benefits, then I feel more inspired to promote it. Although it does require for me to promote it that my audience actually needs that thing too. But also what I’m experimenting with right now is offering something in addition to the affiliate promotion itself. For example, right now I am typing this using voice dictation because of an injury. Due to this injury in my right shoulder, I needed a new way to type things. So I found this AI tool that actually is useful for me in sending one-to-one emails because it integrates with my email so I can simply dictate to it and then ask it to put together my one-to-one outreach email and save it as a draft in my email folder. I’m not using it right now because I’m just typing into the school platform but if I did use it my crappy writing would be transformed into elegant and articulate writing 😊 inserted here. Anyway, this tool is allowing me to do at least 10 meaningful one-to-one sales emails every day, which is my current all in strategy for improving my business. And since I love the tool and actually use it, I started promoting it as an affiliate. But I’m offering something extra, which is to teach people how I use it. And the tool actually does a lot more things, but I only use it for one thing and anybody who’s interested in it can learn that one thing on a short zoom call or whatever. If you are apply this to promoting kit, you might say that anyone who signs up for kit can get your top three tips for how to make the use best use of it. Or your top three set up principles. But not just a bonus course of yours. Something that would actually help people implement and get to the first stage of success of using kit. By the way, that’s why I’ve never promoted kit, both because I don’t think my audience will use it, and because I don’t consider myself enough of an expert on how to get people up and running with kit. But I imagine you could help people in the beginning stage of kit to actually use it. And again kit has so many things you can do with it. But if you just teach one or two of the most valuable ways to use it for you, it could be really cool. For example, one of the ways that I use kit is for its products, and specifically for the checkout pages and upsell functionality. I don’t think most people use it that way. But the way that I use it actually helps me, so I would teach that specific thing to the people who buy through my affiliate link. Sorry for the sloppy writing I am injured. It’s the best I can do.

Ahh …. It’s all about the 1-1.. you pay personal attention to new qualifying subscribers. I love that. I guess this can be done on other platforms like Instagram as well- ie if someone likes a post or follows, one can learn about the person and reach out to start a friendly no pressure conversation. Congrats!

@John Bejakovic it’s kind of relieving to me that I’m not a complete loser if I can’t sell people 100% from broadcast emails. Feels like an affirmation that at the primal level we always want to remember 1-1 human to human sales conversations.

I read this as that he was honest and transparent that he was busy, and that’s why he hasn’t replied yet. I would give him another week and then follow up: “how is your schedule on either of these days or times for the 20-minute humor tip (3 days and times”.

My win this week had to do with standing my ground with flaky customers and actually being rewarded for it. The backstory is that I agreed with 120 teachers last summer that they could pay whatever they wanted to purchase and own forever, a massive curriculum that I created. I spoke to each of them over the phone. I said you can pay what you want for this and I’ll even give you the product tomorrow, as long as you agree to tell me what you will pay for it within a few weeks and then pay what you said you will pay after that. Wouldn’t you know that more than 20 of these people flaked out and with one of them, I called them out and said you should honor your word. And they did and I received $1000 in my stripe account. Results are not typical.

@John Bejakovic thanks John. I’m reminded of somewhere where you have written before that one of your qualifications for working with or investing in people is that they are “serious”. I suppose this relates to your 120 hand razors. One of the assumptions that I have made is that doing so-called B2B with teachers would solve this problem out of the gate. Because teachers are held presumably to a high standard, a professionalism and ethics. But this assumption was clearly wrong. We can find unserious people everywhere. You find all types of people everywhere. #LessonsFromTheJoint.
