Everyone wants a deal so a coupon site such as Groupon could be the best thing ever. There are some hidden things that you may not know, that I wanted to share. Reason 1 - The service is VERY expensive. When you look at the website it seems there is NO upfront cost and its pay-as-you-go, it seems great right? The truth is they take 50% of your revenue as fees, to begin with, and that doesn't even include the discount you are giving to the consumer. Some more bad news is Groupon requires that a business discount its services by at least 50% and sometimes more. With a $100 product, you would get "at most" $25 and at worst $5. Reason 2 -There is a risk that new users would get a discount and the loyal customers that have been supporting you pay a higher price. It just seems wrong, and maybe a small discount wouldn't be bad, but a large one is al

Especially when it comes to earning money, I just want to get paid and not work very hard. There is a business model I recently discovered, that might just be one of the easiest ways to earn money.  I'll give you an example to help you wrap your head around this. Have you heard of the Drudge Report? It's not too fancy and it looks like it came from the 1950's, but it works and the website got over 25 million visits in the last 24 hours (amazing stuff).  All it does is post articles, in black and white. What is even crazier is they did NO work to create the articles. Yea, they just took the articles from other places and legally put them on their website and it's called content aggregation.  You might be wondering why do people go to this website? The Drudge Report was started in 1997 when Drudge created it to supplement a $10 pe

For one they can be Very expensive.    My second issue is I'm very skeptical of the results of the traffic and the competition results that the tool tells you.   Even if the tool is right when it comes to the search volume, it also doesn't take into account similar keywords that "also" rank for the idea you have.  The total traffic that you can get for a term is probably going to be different.   The only person who truly knows how much traffic a search term will get is Google. There are different indicators that can give you an idea if you're on the right track.   I idea is to run the search term through Google Trends and if any info comes up then that is a good sign. If you start to write the search term and Google automaticall

For example someone who has been a truck driver for 20 years and owns his own truck will probably earn more money than someone who is completely brand new right?  It's the same for affiliate marketing and there are many ways someone can go deep into it and not shallow.    An example of going shallow would be using Facebook to post an affiliate link a few times a week. It's better than nothing, but you probably can do better, if you plan ahead.  One way you can go deep is with a presell page or bridge page.   Instead of sending someone to an affiliate offer you could send the person to an presell page. This then could warm someone up to the product and could increase your income.    There is a good book I read a few years go called Presuasion.

You could take an article change a few words and spam backlinks and thus game Google.   It did work for a small amount of time, but not in the long run.   As you can imagine the articles sounded not that good.   There are some similarities between ChatGPT and this method if you just use ChatGPT to do all the work for you.    I'm not nervous about this technology completely taking over work for bloggers,  copywriters, and content creation and I'll give you 4 reasons.  For one 1 some people will get so scared they will quit and that means less competition for the rest of us.    Number 2 – ChatGPT and AI doesn't have the personal experience that a real person has. Don't get me wrong ChatGPT has a place and can be helpful, but it's just different. &

I discovered some interesting things I wanted to share.  Stories are great because they can include a link in the story, With Reels, you can't put a link in there.  What you could do with a Reel is put a link in your bio and then in your Reel tell people to check out your profile for more, and this is what I do a lot.   Reels are great because people who don't follow you can see them.  With Stories, ONLY your followers will see them.   Reels can stay up for “in theory” forever, while stories will disappear in 24 hours.   Reels can be 90 seconds long and Stories are 15 seconds a clip, but you can combine 4 of them to make it

Maybe you are big on Tiktok you may have forgotten or even written off email marketing thinking it's not worth the energy..    Today I wanted to share a few things with an email that you may not know or thought about.   For one if you own a blog, Youtube channel or you are on some other platform like Tiktok you can actually sell it.   If you have built an email list as you have grown your blog or channel that email list will increase the price of your channel. You will get more money.   If you build an email list and You send 0 emails it can still be very valuable. You may not have thought about that.  A second reason to grow an email list is to make more sales. Say someone visits your blog or Youtube channel the truth is they may NEVER come back.

Knowing when to pump it can be confusing. If you don't pump the septic tank when it is needed it can lead to all kinds of problems such as clogging the drain field, leading to a smelly backyard, or even a backup in your home, which can be a shitty experience.  Worst case scenario is replacing things and parts, which is very expensive. Instead of pumping the septic tank based on time, which some people do, and some people recommend It's better to have a tool that tells you how much sludge is in your septic tank.  When the sludge reaches a certain amount then and ONLY then do you pump it. This tool can save you a lot of money because you're not paying to get it pumped when it doesn't need to be.   What causes the sludge is mostly toilet paper and solid

With Chainlink, you can only earn rewards by being an Oracle and fetching information.   With Graph you can hold tokens allowing you to vote on things.  With LINK

I have a friend who is really into these model trains and I've been curious why, so I asked him and did some digging and found out some things that I wanted to share.    According to my friend, the largest reason to start a model railroad for him was its therapeutic value. It's really just to escape from the world and all the craziness and focus on something you can control.    There is a stress-reducing element to them.   There are also some health benefits. According to Nancy Bowers a therapeutic specialist, if someone has dementia the railroad can have a profound impact.   There is is also physical and cognitive benefits. Plus, what's cool about them is you can do it with someone like a friend or family member or solo.    Then you have the educational benefits of problem-solving, creativity, developing patience, engineering, an

Being very skeptical I decided to look into it and discovered some interesting things I wanted to share. The coolest thing about this job or career is the schooling is very affordable and very short courses. You don't have to go into debt spending Years in college, before you get paid. I really think some colleges are just gangsters. One course costs $500 dollars and takes 4 weeks to complete. Even better you can do it online and you get this certificate that is recognized. You can actually get a job EVEN without the certificate. Some hospitals can hire you while you're studying to get it and this "might" be the best approach because you're almost guaranteed a job. You just want a return on your investment right? According to ZipRecruiter, the

I used to have a manager who was crazy about retiring in Belize the small country near the southern tip of Mexico. So I was curious why and how it compares to Mexico. What makes Belize special is it's the Only latin american country where the official language in English. Plus the country has a large percentage of foreigners. Some people really don't want to learn Spanish and they want a cheap place with nice weather. When it comes to the retirement Visa in Belize you need to be 45 years old and earn over $2,000 a month from a source outside Belize. You have to have a clean criminal history and pass the background check. Lastly, they want a medical report. The tourist Visa only lasts 30 days and you can't do a border run to reset the 30 days. There is a fee to exit the country of $40 dollars. You can extend the 30-day Visa, but the fee is $100 dollars. When it comes to Mexico depending on what count

When it comes to the overall macro of a website or any business it comes down to patience, which is not easy for anyone. Patience really helps. It's probably a good idea to learn how to crawl, before walking and running. This means if your blog or website isn't getting any visitors or isn't making money it's probably not a good idea to install a chatbot on it just yet. If your website is getting visitors and it's profitable you could use your profits to experiment with a shiny new tool like a chatbot and see if it helps you earn more money. It really is a case-by-case scenario of how helpful it can be. The main problem with chatbots is they cost money every month. You just want to make sure it's profitable and it's not going to bleed cash. You really have to track the numbers. A very larg

I have a family currently studying to be a pilot, so I wanted to share a few things about the process and how to get there faster and cheaper that I discovered.  The first step is the discovery flight.  Get some real-world flying to see how it is and most importantly if you like it. Plus, you can brag to everywhere you've actually flown a plane right?  If you want to be a commercial pilot and actually earn money from it.  The truth is 80% of students don't make it.   There are many reasons but the finances is a big hurdle. It costs around $100 thousand dollars if you add everything up to become a commercial pilot unless you join the military and go that path.  According to ZipRecruiter the average income of a starting commercial pilot now is around $50,000 a year. Is it worth it? That is up to you to decide.    There are schola

You can see why they can be worth SO much money.  Figuring out these ca

Being curious I wondered what it was was all about.   You could think of Pathrise as a network that can help someone find, apply, interview, and land a job in tech. A good job!    The good news is the network is free until you land the job that you want. The bad news is like the show Shark Tank they take a percentage of the money you earn on the job.  The million-dollar question (or thousand-dollar question) is if it's worth it.  The percentage is anywhere between 5 to 7% of your salary in your first year (this could change). Some more bad news is this is money before taxes.  So it's VERY expensive.   On the other side of the pancake, giving Pathrise a percentage and getting your foot in the door might be better than NOT getting a job at all.  Still, 5-7% of your first-year salar

If it gets too low then it doesn't generate electricity and no drinking water.    What the western U.S. is experiencing is a mega-drought and it's different than a normal drought. A normal drought is a dry spell, but then it gets wet again. With a megadrought it just stays dry without the wetness and this region has been experiencing this since the year 2000.    A drought is caused by 3 things. Lack of snowpack  Lack of soil moisture  High temperatures   What happens is snow falls on mountains in the winter. If not a lot of snowpack is form

All that legal stuff depends on where you live, but it's something to consider.    The next negative is there really are a lot of options when it comes to candles. This is good, but it's also bad I'm thinking of the term paralysis analysis where there are too many options and you end up doing nothing.   This is why it helps to have a written business plan.   For example, with my blog, every step is written out, so it's almost like paint by numbers. I dummy-proof it for myself.  The th

Starting in 1960 it might just be the oldest and largest musical festival in Latin America.   What makes the music festival unique is just how brutal the crowd can get. The audience is named  "The Monster." Booing someone off the stage isn't uncommon.    Getting accepted by the crowd can improve an artist's popularity with the rest of Latin America. There are 3 awards that are given out at the festival. There is a Silver Torch, Golden Torch, and Silver Seagull.  If an artist gains all 3 awards it's called they "tamed the monster" the monster being the crowd and
