Hello friends, as some of you may be aware, ThriveCart has had a couple major outages this year. Personally, I haven't been able to process a single transaction since March 5. Curious if anyone uses a different cart that works better than this thing that looks like a late 1990s website? Unfortunately I also use ThriveCart for course delivery so migration would mean moving all my courses too. Thank you for your time and hopefully your words of encouragement.

Work in Progress Wednesdays... What are you working on? Doesn't have to be complete... Doesn't have to be majestic... Just real. What's your current project? Or what's on your todo list for today?

For me it’ll be to have made at least 2 or 3 new online products. (That’s 2 or 3 things, but whatever. 🤷🏻‍♂️)

I know at least a few people here (and a lot in total) write sales pages in Google Docs and send traffic to that doc instead building it inside their website. For those people, I have a question. Do you care that it's Google docs? Meaning, if you could write your page in Google docs and then snap your finger and have it published on your website too, designed and sleek, would you do it? Or does it not make a difference for you? And to people who publish their sales pages on their website: Would it make things faster/easier if you just wrote it in a Google doc and it was immediately transferred to your website?

Welcome WELCOME The pool party is ON. You can find the margaritas and soft drinks over in the corner... ... the DJ has set up and is playing already... ... and after you've had a chance to dip yourself in the pool, and as the party heats up... ... perhaps you'd like to also take a look at this little offer I am making? The offer in a peanut shell: I am offering to take the winning bidder — let's imagine it's you — and... 1. To give you a NAME and credibility on the Internet, along with MY FULL ENDORSEMENT, and... 2. To DRIVE MY RESPONSIVE READERS to the optin for your list, and... 3. To work with you and co-create a SEXY ACQUISITION FUNNEL (free giveaway + paid thank-you page offer), which you can use to build up your email list AND make money on day zero by turning new subscribers into buyers right away, plus... 4. I'm guaranteeing, with my two hands, that if you win this auction you will MAKE BACK 100% OF YOUR MONEY before I'm done endorsing and promoting you. Again, I will send out a dedicated email to endorse you and your offer, and to drive my audience to you. If you don't recoup all your investment with that first email I send, I will keep sending more dedicated emails, for as long as it takes, to promote and endorse you until you do recoup your winning bid. (If needed, we will also keep working together to tweak your funnel to make sure the right people sign up AND turn into buyers.) That's the little auction offer I'm making, for you to consider while you baste in my pool. I'm also offering a few POOL PARTY FAVORS if you happen to win the auction: 1. Wine and tapas on me whenever you get to Barcelona. (I know a good place around the corner from my new apartment, in the Gothic quarter. Once you finish with the pool and dry off, we can head over there.) 2. A list of newsletters you can run ads in, so they drive their own readers to you, and so you can keep growing your list at breakeven or at a profit, regularly, month after month. (And yes, you can approach these newsletter owners and tell them, "John Bejakovic already endorsed this offer... and his audience loved it.")
