Just got an email from Karon Theakston about this, & a lot of the free courses look great. Sharing so you can take advantage of the generosity. The providers do ask for your email of course, but there's a few things here I'm signing up for: Every year, the Feast of Education rounds up 20+ online entrepreneurs (including me!) to give away one of their best courses or tools. If you had to pay for all of it, the total for the whole lot would be over $7,000. Why? Because we want to show gratitude for all we have and pay it forward for others. Today is the Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S., so it’s the perfect time to remind you to get your access to the Feast of Education. Here are just a few of the 20+ courses and tools : - Buying Emotion Color Wheel - Storytelling Webinar Blueprint - Email Edge: Growing a High-Converting Subscriber List - Getting Started with A.I. to Grow Your Business - And so much more No affiliate link here: https://lookaheadmarketing.com/feast-of-education2023 But if you want to support Karon, and she provides a lot of value, this is her link: See the entire list of training andscoop up the ones you want for $0.00 while you still can. It's only going on until midnight Dec. 3, so make time today to claim your courses.

when will I ever bloody learn!! I bought that AI Video Tales, and not only is it horrible, they screwed up my purchase and now I can't get in. So yesterday I deceded to use part of that money that is stuck in WPlus, becasue I can't withdraw anymore according to their stupid rules, so I used the wallet. Then I tried to purchase the OTO1, and since it was more than what was left in the wallet, I had to pay it wilh PP. I waited all day for the upgrade to show up, and finally wrote a support ticket, which has still not been answered. BUT! This morning I receieved the "info" for the upgrade, in an alternative email, with pw etc... and it is a totally different login than the first. So I try logging in, instead it redirects me back to the sign up page with my original info. The original account, still has no upgrade. To make it worse, a total of 47 dollars and the app is worthless. It forever logs you out when you finally hit the create button, or gives you a blank page saying "page not available, too much traffic or some such thing, and I created something FOUR TIMES and lost each and every one. It is a crap app. It can not do much, with or without the upgrade (which I still don't have access to). The GPT type generator they built is crap, and the caption tool is even more crap. The captions put in words like "terrorists" in a childs story, when there is no word there even close. The voices in the video, are slurred, and talks like the captions, completely useless. Capcut does ore and is better for FREE! What the heck was I thinking, I am so upset!! DO NOT BUY THIS APP!

Alessandro, Do you have a little course on how to use MidJourney? How to open an account - how to navigate the site, a few tips on some basic art photos - something to use in a book? Or do you recommend someone with a course?

You can now generate character and art style consistency. This is going to be a game changer for those that publish children's picture books. Check out this short tutorial. https://youtu.be/9mZtrKQTV5c

It works well, tried it over the weekend. https://www.pocket-lint.com/chatgpt-voice-how-it-works-what-it-can-do-and-more/

Really sick, but will be checking in and reading all posts tomorrow, specifically for questions I've asked, and you all have responded but I haven't acknowledged it. I'm sorry, but me and the "restroom" have been married. Going to bed................thanks for understanding that I am in no way ignoring you or what you have replied to my questions. Peace Out

Is there a step-by-step guide on how to start an Etsy shop? What are some tips for creating a shop that looks attractive? What is the best way to promote the products you have in your shop?

. . . . being self-employed and working for myself in the Internet Marketing niche. I have several reasons, but this particular one is to do with coming up with an idea for a product and being able to put it into practice, actually being able to sit down and create something from a spark of inspiration. I recently received an email which contained a link to 'The Top 50 Napolean Hill Quotes'. So, I visited the site and copied and pasted the quotes into a notepad file. The quotes were in 5 sections and each quote came with a short summary/explanation. The idea that I got was to create 50 quote images and sell them as a bundle. A couple of days later while sat working on my PC, I went to Bing and used the image creation/Dalle-3 software to create the images to use for the quotes. (have posted some examples) I was pretty impressed with the results, (it got me buzzing 🐝) considering I only used a very basic prompt, and generally, my prompts need working on. My idea was to offer 50 image quotes, plus the blank images as a package. but then, other ideas popped into my head, such as using a talking heads software I have, combined with a portrait photo of Naploean Hill, to produce a number of videos of him speaking (is that legal?) quotes or other inspirational pieces. I'm trying to think of some other items I can add to the package, (please post if you can think of any) and maybe even putting it on WarriorPlus. Any thoughts, comments etc are appreciated. Thanks.

@Glen Merrick GLEN, GLEN, GLEEEEEN!!!! I am so excited, I just "wrote" my first e-book!!! I don't know what to do now but it's going to be published when I figure out the rest.......(I may have questions) but I'm pumped up!! Can/will you read it? ✍️🥰🤩😹

I'm still working out some kinks, but I keep hitting the GPT4 cap at the moment. I wouldn't mind some feedback while I wait to be able to access it again. My idea is to generate video ideas about a specific topic, Choose one and have it generate a script, Create the dialogue for that script in a format that's fairly easy to copy into text to speech systems and finally generate all the images you'd need to create a video. https://chat.openai.com/g/g-GhLzfwL7j-video-muse It works pretty well at the moment. It sometimes gets the orientation of the images wrong if you ask for portrait images.

Hi one and all, I am an old web programmer, with a regular day job. I have always been interested in I.M. and I've done that in the past (ClickBank affiliate, PLR selling, and also I made good money with AdSense). I love reading incredible sales letters about fool-proof systems that guarantee me to earn money, trying to guess what stands behind the hype. Obviously I buy none. But today I've read the sales letter of "Passive Mastery" that surpassed any shame limit. I guess it's a scam. But how can buyers think that a one-time 13 USD system could make them making money ? I think that only the sellers make money, selling lies. I'd like to hear your opinion about that. Thanks.

I rarely buy something, but this year I bought a yearly license to use Repper.pro, the software to create patterns for coloring books, art, or clothes. I love it, and seeing it for 50% off is something rare. And you? What did you buy, or will you buy?

Today I was surfing the web while I found a new trend called "AI Perfume" which is part of "Sensory AI". In short, on https://www.everyhuman.com you can create your own perfume simply by asking many questions and by simply driving a bar on yes or no. It's something curious; I got three perfumes. The cost is $45 plus shipping. Not a lot compared to big names. They should be great for you. Just to let you think about whether what you sell can be adapted to AI to allow customers to customize the final product. Think about an AI website that suggests T-shirts based on customer's answers, or that suggests art, food, or anything. This is the future.

Not much to report from a day struggling mainly over 1 video - which then got0 views so far. I've recorded myself 5 times doing slightly different gestures to camera without speaking. I'll add text to these and can use them multiple times on different videos then share on Pinterest, Insta, & YouTube to get the most 'Bangs For My Bucks,' so to speak. I've created and posted the 1st in a 3 video 'Income Ideas' series, and hoping that attracts repeat visitors.

This recession is coming from what I see in journals, on TV, and especially from colleagues. The problem is that everyone will know about the recession only when we are in it for a few months. Now, if you think about it, it's incredible that 2,000,000 UK families decided to remove the fridge and freezer from their houses because of the increased electric bills. If you add in the US, we saw for the first time a decrease in workers getting new jobs, gold flying, and prices of food and gasoline; that's why we are entering a recession from the front door. Every recession is risky but presents good ways to make money or start new businesses. Following the lipstick effect, expected in bad economic times, people will spend less but will always spend. Instead of going around the world, people will go to cinemas or local markets. Entire areas will suffer, while others will fly. The most fundamental thing is to find which ones will fly and leave the boat if you are in a collapsing one. Online courses will always sell because people are tempted to find different ways to supplement their income. In COVID-19, we all had an incredible year while restaurants and other local businesses struggled. Suppose you learn how to create courses and do affiliate marketing. Those two things will save you, allowing you to stay on track. Think about who is starting and has absolutely zero knowledge of the subject you teach. Gold will see price increases, and people in the moment of a recession, at least those with the money to do so, will search for different ways to allocate them before they go down in value. Then, a blog about gold, silver, and other investments could be a great idea, especially a newsletter about it. Find two or three high-paying affiliate offers, and you can find a good cash cow. It's the same for crypto. As you can see, Bitcoin has gone over the $37,000 price tag after stagnating for months. Crypto will never die, as it is one of the best ways for the rich to make easy and fast money.

Hi, all! I see we have grown since I took a little bit of a break to prioritize and work through some "stuff." And some general life busyness popped up. I just purchased one of my annual purchases, Alessandro's Public Domain for 2023. I am looking forward to being back on here. Probably not as active as I was when launched, but I hope to be active. I have honestly missed it, especially some of you I interacted with early on, on a regular basis. And... I look forward to meeting some of the new folks, too! I am betting this is as great as a community as it was when I took my pause.

The Rundown: AI startup Anthropic just released Claude 2.1, featuring new upgrades, including a doubled context size, 2x fewer hallucinations, and new tool integrations. The details: - The 200K token context window enables users to provide docs up to ~150K words for analysis. - New improvements reduced incorrect answers by 30%, with a 3-4x lower rate of mistakenly concluding a document supports a claim. - The new ‘tool use’ beta feature allows Claude to directly leverage developer APIs, knowledge bases, and datasets. The relevance: Just a day after the OpenAI board reportedly contacted Anthropic for a merger, CEO Dario Amodei woke up and chose violence with new upgrades that continue to position Claude 2 as the most capable ChatGPT alternative.

Some more good news to report, but it's late now so this is another copy & paste. Well worth it for you though I hope: Damn, why are things always hiding in plain site? Talk about ‘Can’t The Wood For The Trees.’ I said yesterday I’d found an easier way to make videos, but today something else leapt out and smacked me in the face. I saw a Canva template with text being typed on screen, so looked at how to do that. ‘Easy Peasy’ One of the animate options I’d not seen for looking. DOH! It works perfectly for what I want, but the video I created isn’t getting many views. It takes my content creation to a whole new level, even if it’s to be done manually. The Avatar videos are more popular on Pinterest than TikTok, so I’ll use them there. Breakthroughs Are Like Buses. Seemed to be 3 in a row today, which is obviously a good thing, and it goes to show what happens when you stick at doing something when the going gets tough. The programme I’m in has a TikTok ‘Follow Train’ and thousands of members, so getting past the magig 1K might not be a problem. Except, none are likely to click on my link. It’s also a good thing that I found it after I start making progress as having lots of followers would’ve masked the problems. I saw one account who seems to have done a bit of a trick to get a link in their bio so I’ll try that tomorrow, and a lot of popular accounts are using stock videos or not speaking on screen, but getting views and follows, so I’ll emulate them. Pity I’m off the booze because I could have some cause for celebration soon I’m hoping.

That's a relief! Most of the people I've researched aren't speaking on screen, just doing minimal hand movements across the text, & even using stock videos in some cases. I'll have to look closer at the descriptions & #s, and what's so popular about their messages. I finally figured out an easier way to make the Canva videos I want after struggling for months, so I'm more hopeful of getting more views and followers. Things might hopefully pick up from here
