Stone Junkie - Curtis Mayfield

My name is Neil and I;m a junkie. Well, if there was a 12 step program for software junkies I would have been sentenced to be in it.

I sometimes impulsively buy cheap programs that I see in an email message. In the past I have spent up to $25,000 for a software program. Actually that USA 3 of us who chipped in $25K each to have a programmer write a special version of an existing program just for us. That was not an impulse buy. Fortunately it turned out to be worth the money.

Recently I have bought Video Commissions for under $20. Seems to be worth it but I don't know how I am going to make use of it. Easier to download a video, add my own link and re upload it.

I bought Doodly. $67. Good program except: There is s little box to put your text in. Writing the text even for a 5 to 10 minute video in that little box is near impossible, Especially since Grammarly doesn't work with Doodly for some reason I want to be able to paste the text I have written elsewhere in the box but it won' t paste.

Tech support said I could. Then tech support said I couldn't. If I can't paste the text ZZI don't think I can use it at all.

I bought Animatiox. $18. Lets you make animated banners that are clickable. Despite the fact that the tutorial is a bit off from the actual interface I see I have made several decent looking banners. The templates are made for the formats to put on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube. I don't see a bunch of people rushing to sign up to my list or buy something because of the banners. But it was only $18.

There is another one I will buy if it can be used on a PC and not just a phone. It is by the makers of Animatiox. It's called VideoTik. Lets you make, edit, size to the format of either TicToc, Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts. $57/

Got some ideas about how to brand a Tic Toc persona. The guy in the webinar said there was a guy on Tiv Toc making a lot of money. All he does is show pieces of paper that he has written something on while he narrates. That gave me the idea of wearing a paper bag over my head with different things written on them for each video while I talk. Sort of like the Unknown Comic



Or Saints fans when they were terrible



How about some more Curtis Mayfield Diamond in the Back

Some of the ways people are making money seem crazy, but hey, if they work....😂

But yes, I think many of us here are software junkies!

Have a great day, Neil!

Another one I forgot to mention is VOGenesis. Tells you how to become a voiceover artist for big money. I thing the earnings may be a bit exaggerated but is is a bunch of short video telling you a lot of things like where to put the emphasis on words and breathing and stuff. I don;t need that because I can do a professional radio voice but there was some good info on where to find work and also how to edit out extraneous background noises with Audacity which I didn't know.

I mentioned it in an earlier blog and a few commenters advised me to concentrate on my website and forget about it, It's my money and my decision to choose my own path, I first saw it for $39 buy I searched and found it for $19.

Another one I have been seeing ads for is something that will let you create an ebook on any subject with an attractive book like cover in minutes. $27. Not going to buy that one, If it can write a book in minutes it must be using some kind of article generator and the quality is probably terrible.

I did buy VideoTik $57 a couple of days ago, You can put together short videos in any niche in gifs, quotes in any niche from their library or you own files. You cab put then in Tic Toc or Instagram format and schedule uploads to your accounts, I have made a few just practicing but I don;t think it will take li=ong to get pretty good at it and I have a few ideas on what kind of approach I want to take.

I know Roope does pretty well with Tic Toc. I'm not exactly sure how to monetize it but my immediate goal is to be able to drive people to request more info on one of my capture pages where they will automatically be added to whichever campaign I want on my autoresponder.

My roots are in email marketing and it;s time to get back to that. I don't want to be one of those people who work their butts of trying to match wits with Google and then come on here in a year gushing about how they are making $100 a month. I'm too old for that.

I am in a list building program that is working pretty well.. List Levverage in conjunction with Traffic Authrority.. You buy clicks from Traffic Authority and there are a bunch of capture pages on List LeverageT to choose from. The system pays you in a number of ways and they even buy the clicks that you get from people who don;t buy anything.

It is working pretty good and I have gotten a few referrals even though I don;t have a big list so far. It's a numbers game and the bigger my list the more of the percentage that open my ads will joining. It's my list so I can use it to promote anything Iwant,

The traffic I buy is pretty pricy but it's quality traffic, I could set the daily dollar amount at the max but I have it set to use $35 a day so as to run through the month.

That's why I am trying to find cheaper or free ways pf adding names to augment what I am paying for and to speed the list building along.

Sorry to be so long winded but I'm on my 3rd cup of coffee, Normally I am just trying to wake up and get out of bed at this time of day.

And now I have many more ideas-- thank you! I might have to take a bit of time and pour through these.
What are you using for build your list?

On the list building, I didn't mean "what" so much as how is it working. Typing faster than I'm thinking!

Working pretty good. If I could spend more money I could make it happen faster. The way it works is that if the people I referred start getting leads they have to pass every 5th lead up to me. Just as I have to pass every 5th lead I generate up to the person who referred me.

Yesterday I got 9 leads. A pretty good day considering that I set it to only use $35 a day. Maybe it would have been a better strategy to use it all up as fast as it will go but Ii wanted to be able to run it through the end of the month.

It sounds like an interesting approach. Is there an affiliate link to use for it if I want to check it out?

I will pm it to you
