1 Mil USD Per Month War Report #2
— This of course will not be easy
The public introduction and overall plan, Report #1, is here.
This is a very different sort of online marketing business plan, where we actually plan it out, execute, gather test data, make changes, etc., etc., etc.
We make it work in real time, showing all the troubles, difficulties, successes, profit & loss along the way.
A very small percentage of people who purchase business-opportunity books and online courses ever do anything with them. They’re buying the hope and dream, and “successful purchase” satisfies that. It’s just fantasy entertainment—and they ought to categorize it as such in their Quicken app.
So here is the first week’s numbers changes, thoughts, plans, and intentions. There’s also a 10-minute video I just now uploaded that covers some of the more esoteric aspects of making this work.

* Many bounces are the result of some of the very long emails, like Scribbles, which per the video is no more. From here out, all emails will be short or very short, so I just set all the bounced back to subscribed, and I’ll see over the course of the week.
Next week will primarily be about:
- Getting 1 or 2 more paid downloads up
- Learning curve for using Facebook for ideation
I have a new way in which I’m using ChatGPT-4, Metaphor plugin which is reportedly very good with current language sizzle.
First, I give GPT an outline or a post and have it come up with 10 headlines for it. Then I ask for Metaphor to pick the best 3, then I run a Twitter poll on those three. Just beginning stages, will develop further.
