Suno AI Music Generator

13443625692?profile=RESIZE_710x

Hi Everyone!  I am George Pierce, this post is about Suno AI, which is awesome online software for creating songs.  It is insanely easy to create a song.  Simply type in what you want and hit create.  Suno is free (technically).  You get ample free credits.  Suno will amaze you, even if you have no experience, and it does all the work.  Suno will generate two versions of your song, and if it is not exactly what you want, it is easy to edit.

I believe that most advocates and users of Suno are focused on using it for children's video creation.  This is an excellent tool to make the job easier.

Thinking a bit outside of the box, I believe it can also help with creating videos that are 'different'.  HUH? 

The following is based on my opinion.  For your videos to get views, they have to stand out.  One of the best ways for your videos to stand out is to be different.  A humorous musical video salute to our hero, the HOT DOG, is different (above).  Irreverent music videos are also getting views.  

If you try Suno, I believe you will be pleasingly surprised, and it may help you with your videos.

Thank you for reading.

Much success,

George Pierce

Quick Animoto Review

13443312876?profile=RESIZE_710x

Hi All!  I am George Pierce.  Animoto is an online video editor/creator and this post is a brief review.  There is a free version, above is an example of one of many templates that are available for free.  The software is easy to use and easy to customize.  You can also upload additional clips, they will show up on the right of your dashboard, and then you can drag and drop them onto where you want to put them on your timeline.  

When you are finished with your video, it is time to download your creation!

The free version does NOT include the ability to download.  Free Animoto provides 

a shareable link and embed code.  Unfortunately, the link and code do not work on SE but do work on my website, so should work on yours.

13443315454?profile=RESIZE_710x13443315090?profile=RESIZE_710x

The free version does have a watermark, which is normal.  It is also limited, also normal, but since you can upload, it is easy to overcome. The software is marvelous, and, as mentioned, user-friendly.

But, I do not recommend Animoato's free version. 

Nowadays, part of your online venture should include YouTube (a YT channel to send viewers to your site), so not being able to download

means that I give Animoto, a thumbs down.  There are competition sites such as InVideo and Vidnoz, with free versions that will do much more, and after your video masterpiece is finished, you can download it.  

Thanks for reading,

Much success,

RSS For Your Email List

13440299275?profile=RESIZE_710x

Hi ALL!  I am George Pierce, this post is about using RSS for your email list.  RSS stands for really simple syndication which is a web feed that allows users to receive updates when new content is created.  Most of my websites have a "news' section, which is primarily numerous RSS readers that are 'hooked up' to various RSS feeds, which equals a steady flow of 'fresh' content in addition to my own content.  I have not used RSS in emails, which is a bit tricky and you need an email service that handles RSS, but my main reason was 'lack of control' and over-emailing.  Most of what I share is about something that I have tried, tested, and proven, this is NOT.

It is a new RSS feature that I believe I am going to love,  and you will too.  The feature allows us to use RSS in our emails, and we can control it!  

13440669678?profile=RESIZE_710x

What you see above is a snapshot of the RSS option.  It is called Check Feed.  The email service is AWeber, which has a free option that stays free for up to 500 subscribers.  Why I am sharing this new feature is that it so easy to set up and to control.

Begin by clicking on the Check Feed option, which will be on the left in your campaign.  

13440733881?profile=RESIZE_710x

When you do, Check Feed (as you see above will show up in your campaign).  Setting up a welcome week is another training post, but AWeber has excellent 'WELCOME' training...your first week of emails can set the tone for your long-lasting email relationship, so, I suggest that you put your Check Feed below your Welcome Week.  Each email, including Check Feed, can be moved up or down in your campaign. changing when it will be sent out. 

Click on Check Feed that is now in your list, and your Check Feed controls will show up on the right (as you see below).
13440835858?profile=RESIZE_584x

You can select the RSS feed you want and paste it into the feed URL box.  Keep it related to your niche.  You can also set the frequency, day, and time.  Even if you fail to create an email (Hurricane Helene temporarily stopped my email creation, for example), your Check Feed option will still send emails.  You can set it for weekly and be assured that at least one email will be sent weekly, and only one, not one hundred and one.  

13440839058?profile=RESIZE_710x

When it comes to finding a feed, it is easy.  You can use your search box or a site such as FeedSpot (above).  What you are looking for is a site with relative content.  The RSS URL will end in slash feed ( /feed).  Above is an example using weight loss, however, this works in virtually any niche.

Thank you for reading.

Much success,

George Pierce

Creating Children's Videos

13427393269?profile=RESIZE_710x

Hi ALL!  I am George Pierce, this post is about **The Wild Ride of Creating Children’s Videos**.   Do you want to make kids’ videos? Get ready for a whirlwind of crayons, jingles, and “What did I just step in?” moments. Creating children’s content is colorful and rewarding, but it comes with its share of challenges. Let’s dive into the highs, lows, and tips to survive this wild ride.


Let's talk about The Positives.

  1. You can Unleash Your Creativity.
    You get to dream up quirky characters and catchy tunes. It’s like a free pass to act like a kid again—and call it work.

  2. You’re a Hero.
    Teaching ABCs or life lessons? You’re shaping young minds and giving parents a much-needed coffee break.

  3. There is always Constant Demand.
    Kids are always being born—and their parents are always looking for distractions. Hit the right note, and your content could go viral.


Next are The Negatives.

  1. Rules and Red Tape.
    COPPA guidelines are like a toddler’s bedtime routine: hard to follow and non-negotiable. Ad revenue? Not great.

  2. Short Attention Spans
    You’ve got three seconds to grab kids’ attention before they click away. Good luck.

  3. Budget Blues.
    Animations and jingles are expensive—and editing that same tune 500 times might break your soul.

  4. Fierce Competition.
    The sandbox is crowded. Established creators have castles while you’re stuck with a plastic shovel.


Allow me to share some Tips for Success.

  1. Know Your Audience.
    Kids love silly jokes. Parents want life lessons. Find the sweet spot.

  2. Make It Pop.
    Bright colors and catchy tunes work wonders—but don’t overdo it, or you’ll scare everyone off.

  3. Be Unique.
    Stand out with a signature style or character that screams, “You’ll never forget me!”

  4. Stay Legal.
    Follow the rules, or you’ll face fines bigger than your animation budget.


**In Conclusion, **
Making kids’ videos is equal parts chaos and magic. You’ll laugh, cry, and maybe learn something about yourself. Ready to create? Grab snacks, patience, persistence, and a sense of humor, you’ll need them.

Thank you for reading.

Much success,

George Pierce

PS.  There are lots of free tools to help you to get started, some that I like are VEED, InVideo, and VidNoz.  The video (a re-use of content) was created for free with VizNoz.

No Time? Funny Story!

13426953296?profile=RESIZE_710x

Hi Everyone!  I am George Pierce, this post is a funny story about time, our most valuable asset!  Or not???

In a tiny town called TikTok, there lived a young man named Timmy. Timmy was always running late—so much so that people swore he was born tardy. Timmy had a peculiar problem: he seemed to have a different relationship with time than everyone else.

One day, Timmy set out to bake a pie for the town's annual Pie Fest. His grandma's secret recipe required precisely 45 minutes of baking time. “Piece of cake!” Timmy thought, setting his timer.

13426956899?profile=RESIZE_710x

But instead of 45 minutes, Timmy got distracted by a squirrel doing yoga, a cloud shaped like a dragon, and a leaf that looked suspiciously like Elvis. When he finally checked the oven, it had been a full two hours.

“Well, maybe it's more...caramelized,” he mused, surveying the charred remains.

Determined not to be the only one without a pie at the festival, Timmy rushed to his neighbor Mrs. Puckleberry, who was renowned for her time-management skills. She handed him an already-made pie with a knowing smile.

At the festival, everyone loved Timmy’s pie. “What’s your secret?” they asked.

“Time,” Timmy replied with a wink. “Just, so you know...someone else's time!”

And so, Timmy won the prize for the best pie and a shiny new alarm clock. From then on, he carried it everywhere, though it was mostly for show. After all, time wasn't something you could just borrow—unless you were Timmy, of course. 

Who knew that missing the beat could lead to a sweet victory?

Thank you for reading.

Much success,

George Pierce

PS.  Online ventures take time.  Our advantage is that our online efforts have a cumulative effect regarding content and learning.  The first third or so, of the following video was made months ago, then it was put on hold due to Hurricane Helene (late Sept.)  The rest of the video was completed recently, and you will see the improvement.  My point is to keep investing your time, you will reap the benefits.

Four Making Money Online Truths

13417763680?profile=RESIZE_584xHi All!  I am George Pierce, this post is for aspiring Internet Marketers.  I will be sharing four truths about making money online! 

#1 Can you really get started for free? 

#2 Is making money online possible?

#3 What is best way to get started?

#4 What is the best advice for success?

FREE!

If you want to make money online as an IM, YTer, infuencer, affiliate marketer, etc. and you do not want to spend money, free is possible.  The above logo is an example of "FREE".  It was created at a site called Canva.  The bakground image, however, was from Pixabay.  Most free options are a free trial.  After the trial, free is no longer available.  If free is an issue, not a problem, but stay away from free trials.  Your other free option is a limited version.  The free version of Canva is awesome, it totally over-delivers, but it is limited.  What you will find on Canva is that, on occcasion, to get what you want, will require upgrading (opting for the paid version).  In the case of the logo above, all the "good' background images were NOT free.  There are free sites such as Pixabay and Pexels with Millions of free photos and videos and more.  I found the background image that I wanted, downloaded it, then uploaded it to Canva and added it to the logo.  You can find a free version of everything you need to start an online venture, and I will share a little more (advice) later.

The above video is an example of what most make money online pursuits are GUILTY of!???

#2. Is Making Money Online Really Possible?

For most people, the answer is NO!  I know that is not what you were expecting, but I said that I would be sharing TRUTHS.  One of the truths about making money online is that only about 10% succeed.  Yes, it is possible...however, about 90 out of 100 will fail.  Most online businesses fail because they quit too soon (most fail in the first 120 days). 

Most individuals fail at making money online because of mindset.  Indivduals are often told to follow their passion, which is great advice.  The above vdieo is based following a passion.  You get to do what you love, WOW!   In most cases, however, our passion turns into a hobby rather than a business.  This problem is fixable, but most do not know it is the problem, and it never gets fixed.  

#3:  What is the best way to get started? 

 For most individuals, creating a profitable online business is a side hustle.  This is admirable, but it means that your time is limited, and there is a lot to learn and a lot to do.  Limited time, knowledge, and experience is often resolved by unscrupulous online marketers and YouTubers...BEWARE...in almost every case, they are simply selling you something that will benefit them, not necessarily you.  I spend money on tools and resources for my online ventures, I am going to strongly recommend that the best way to start is FREE!   Your initial online adventure is probably not going to generate the desired or expected results, mine were pitiful.  There is a free way to speed things up, and we will get to that in the next truth, in the meantime, free is where you want to be.  

13419463096?profile=RESIZE_584x

#4 What is the best advice for success?

A fellow YouTuber took almost 6 months to prepare, before starting his channel.  Of course, I cannot make any guarantess, but taking the time to do some research will help your chances.  Making money online is not for everyone, and it may or may not be right for you.  On the other hand, MMO is still a six or seven figure opportunity that anyone can learn, and can begin with zero investment.  What you do need is commitment and a never quit mindest.  The way to help insure your success and to speed your success is to learn as much as you can, as fast as you can, and do your best to learn for free.  My experience with paid online options is that 11% work, that means that I had to discover that 89% (8 out of 9) do not work.  While you are new, it is nearly impossible to tell what works and what does not work, until AFTER you purchase it.  

The idea and the name is 'make money online'.  Guess what often happens?  You try this and that and this and that (at a cost), most of which do not work.  Your make money online dream can soon turn into a spend money online dream.  Then the worst four letter word can happen, you QUIT!

By starting free and staying free until your new online biz can afford it, even if your profits are small, you are much more likely to keep going. When you are spending money, your initial meager profits will be wiped out.  You new venture is losing money!   So that four letter option, that should never be an option, is a way to cut your losses.  

Your best advice is to keep going!    Focusing on free will help you to keep going, next add learing all you can, and be patient, give yourself and your new venture time.  In my case, and I believe in most cases, your initial results are not a good indicator of what is happening.  HUH?   What you are learning needs time to manifest.  

BONUS Truth

There is no free lunch!  There are many gifted Internet marketers and YouTube 'Gurus' that sadly misrepresent online opportunities, espeially making it seem that it takes little to no time or effort to succeed online.  Yes, you can make an unimaginable income online, but you are going to have to 'earn' it.  As you gain experience, it will get easier and easier.

The Internet offers financial levers such as duplication and residual income.  Once you figure out what works, you can easily 'duplicate' it.  What you create today can earn you money today and tomorrow, and for a long time to come.  Put in the effort and take the time to learn what works and you will be rewarded. 

Thank you for reading.

Much success,

George Pierce

9 Affiliate Linking Tips

13330880058?profile=RESIZE_400x

Hi All!  I am George Pierce.  In this post I will be sharing 9 affiliate linking tips to help you get more click-throughs, more sales, and more income.  

1. Align your affiliates with your audience.  The first step in content creation is to research your target audience.  You will discover what they 'need' or 'desire'.  Build your content and your affiliates around your research.

2. Focus on quality content.  When your visitors find great content, helpful information, and value, you build trust.  

3. Make it natural.  Do your best to make visiting your affiliates a perfectly natural next step.

4. Be Transparent.  Label Ads with the word advertisement, and let your visitors know your post contains affiliate links. If they purchase through these links, you may earn a small commission at no extra cost to them.  

5. Optimize Placement.  Links are more likely to get clicks nearer the top of your content.  An old newspaper term is 'above the fold'.  Place ads where they will be seen.  

6. Use more than one method for links.13412055259?profile=RESIZE_710xAbove is an example of a 'button' which you can find for free at sites such as Pixabay and then use Paint to ad your text.  When you make things natural, a button with the word 'continue' is most effective.  Embed your affiliate link in buttons, also any affliate images or related images, and text.  Give your visitor more than one way to click your affiliate link.  For example, I use an affiliate called 'Java Burn', so almost every ad that I create has a coffee cup image and that iimage is embedded with a link to Jave Burn.  

7. Test, Tweak, Track.  Make changes and compare results.  For link tracking, you can use UTM codes or different dentifiers. 

Tracking was of little importance or value to me when I first started out..."I will worry about that later!" was my attitude, just let me focus on making sales.  Of course, I was wrong.  When I finally began making sales, I had no clue as to what was working...becuase I failed to track my links.  Be it Amazon affiliate links, Clickbank links, CJ links, etc...Track your links.   

8. Do not overdo it.  Too many links and affiliates will hurt your results.

9. Benefit!  Keep in mind that your visitors are more likely to click for a benefit.  When presenting affiliates, think of 'features and benefits' and pt your focus on benefits.  

Thank you for rading.  

Much success,

George Pierce

Pointer Sites!??

13410343486?profile=RESIZE_400x

Hello Everyone!  I am George Pierce, this post is about what I call "Pointer Sites".  The following is a trick that I use for creating backlinks and free traffic.  I do not know that it is a common practice, but it works for me, so it should work for you.  

The process is easy, straight forward, and free.  It is based on content marketing, and keywords, primarily 'long-tail keywords'.

13410354474?profile=RESIZE_400x

Here is how I do it.

I use free web hosting sites such as Webador as you see above..  Webador is superb, and so are many other free hosts such as Altervista, Weebly, Wix, etc.  I create a small site of about a half dozen pages that are relative to the main site. that the free site will be pointing to (linked to).   Set up standard pages such as Home, About Us, Products, Contact, and Blog.  Initially I will add a News or What's New Page, and at least one or two pages that are built around 'long-tail keywords'.   

13410380883?profile=RESIZE_710x

The long-tail keyword phrase above has excellent search and about a 77% chance of generating organic traffic (free traffic),,,so build a page around this phrase.  In fact, it is so good, I suggest build a page on your main site around the phrase, and then create a newsy overview around the same phase on your pointer site, with a link to the main article on your main site.  

Long-tail search phrases provide benefits such as fewer competitors, drawing in targeted website traffic of possible buyers who are more likely to purchase. Utilizing long-tail keyword phrases are less pricey, Pay Per Click (PPC) marketing, and allow much more exact web page targeting. 

Of course each page has one of more links to the main website (backlinks).  

Occassionally add more content, such as news and updates and topic overviews of content that has been added to your main site.  All of which POINTS to your main site.  

For more traffic, more backlinks, and more target market focus (long-tail keywords), consider adding pointer sites.  Webador is an excellent place to start.

Thank you for reading.

Much success,

George Pierce

How Good I$ Making Money Online?

13405212687?profile=RESIZE_710x

Hi All!  I am George Pierce, this post is about making money online. I will be revealing some of the MMO truths and pitfalls you may not know about, along with a proven secret for your success.  The focus of this post is the health niche, which I have been in for about 20 years, but the information can be applied to any niche.  I got into the health niche to help people lose weight.  The health niche was HOT 20 years ago, today, it is even HOTTER!   The health niche is here to stay, and its future looks very promising.   In addition, virtually every sub-niche of the health niche offers life-changing income potential.  Health and wellness have hundreds of sub-niches, some of the most popular are:

Physical Fitness and Nutrition
Taking Care Of Chronic Problems
Workout and Physical Wellness
Holistic Practices
Charm and Grooming
Oral Health and Wellness
Hair and Scalp Issues
Persistent Pain Management
Affection and Relationships
Emotional Health and wellbeing
Rest and Relaxation
Nourishment and Meal Planning
Conscious Living
Spiritual Development
All-natural Treatments

So I jumped into my niche, and here is what I discovered.

13405310670?profile=RESIZE_710x

Build it and they will come! 

Unfortunately, this is no longer true; it is one of many online lessons I learned.  So I advertised.  Wow!  Immediate quality traffic!  Sadly, most of the traffic left almost as soon as they arrived, however, a few stayed, but my CTR was nearly zero and my sales were ZERO!  I was new, and my website sucked.  I was not aware that two things were separating me from the money...Knowledge and Experience.  I was aware that I was NOT making money I was spending money.  I believe that most newbies have a similar experience, and quit.  That is why I want you to be aware of the financial potential, and to be aware of your need to gain knowledge and experience.    The more we know about our niche, the better, but I soon discovered that the area that needed my attention was Marketing (Internet Marketing).   

Another thing they don't tell us: If you are not willing to learn, making money online is probably not for you; if you are inclined to learn, perhaps; if you love to learn, it should be a great fit.  

One of the secrets I discovered was that some of our target audience are 'Curious", some are 'Avid', and some are 'Desperate', while most are 'sincerely interested'...based on legit SEO and/or advertising.  Almost ALL of our visitors are potential subscribers and customers, as well as repeat customers. 

Visitors and viewers are potentially gold.  This means that we want to Attract and Engage these potential customers.  We want to make money, and we will get to that soon, but let's keep our initial focus on providing our visitors with what they want.  

I am in the weight loss niche, so here is a real example.  Liily released Zepbound, their 'newest weight loss drug' on 12-20-2024.  We are not going to sell Zepbound, but some people that are interested in losing weight will want to know more about this 'newest weight loss drug'.  We can research Zepbound and write an article and create a video about it.    I usually use short-version videos to send visitors to my websites for the whole story.  

But WAIT!  

I have done this before, perhaps you have too, and it did not work!  Creating an article and video is a great idea and it probably will not work without what is called niche research.  Niche research allows us to focus on a keyword or phrase with good search, but LESS competition.  Keywords and keyword phrases are what our prospective visitors, viewers, and customers are typing into their search boxes or telling Siri or Alexa to find when they are looking for our content.  

 13405448476?profile=RESIZE_710x

 

Above is a snapshot of a free research tool called Ubersuggest.  It shows that the search is spectacular, however, the competition is high, especially for beginners.  PD is paid search difficulty, SD is organic search difficulty.  The lower the number, the less competition, and I recommend an SD in the 30s or less for beginners.  For example, an SD of 30, relates to about a 70% chance of success, and an SD of 20 would mean about an 80% chance.  

13405458466?profile=RESIZE_710x

Notice that "Newest Weight Loss Drug" has an SD of 34 with an excellent search volume. 

If people are searching for "Newest Weight Loss Drug" and are taken to our web page or video about Zepbound, are they likely to watch our video or read our article?  YES!

If we can build our content around a phrase with an SD in the 30s or less with good search, we suddenly have a real shot at organic traffic... and there is MORE.  

It is called a HOOK!  

13405537662?profile=RESIZE_710x

Above is a snapshot of a portion of Lilly Investors site, manufacturer of Zepbound.  As you can see, Zepbound is new.  So far,  we have managed to get traffic, free quality traffic, by building our content around a well-chosen keyword phrase, next we want to HOOK them into staying.  Based on my research, Zepbound has outperformed ALL of the competition!  Be sure to give your audience a reason to stay!  So find that reason and put it at the beginning of your content.

Once they stay, they will appreciate the value of our content.  Our goal is to get our audience to know, like, and trust us.  As we build rapport (with quality content), our prospects are more and more likely to not only stay but also to return, as well as click on our offers and ads, and subscribe to our list.

The Money!

Finally, we are getting to the money, in your list, your ads, links, buttons, etc.  

Your List:

Your best source of steady and reliable online income is in your list.  You can start building your list for free, Aweber has a free version up to 500 subs, and Systeme is free, up to 2K subs.  I use AIOP, but it is not free. AIOP is a complete marketing system, the cost is $12.50 per month, and AIOP provides your website and all your tools including a virtually unlimited autoresponder.  I have been with them for years, I had one issue, someone tried to hack my account and steal my commissions.  AIOP came to my rescue almost instantly.

13405549079?profile=RESIZE_710x

Your Affiliates:

I recommend that you choose affiliates that are relative to your niche, there is a better chance of a click-through and a sale.  And I strongly recommend that you research your affiliates before joining them.  This happens less often, but some affiliates do not provide whatever they represent and do not pay.  If you go through an affiliate network such as Clickbank, Rakuten, Share A Sale, CJ, or Avangate, your chances of this happening are probably zero.   As you grow, consider networks such as Impact and Flex Offers.  Avangate is mostly tech, but the other networks have quality affiliates in almost every niche.  

I am primarily a content marketer, the above is a content marketing method that has been working for me for about 15 years, so it has proven itself over and over again.
13406069253?profile=RESIZE_584x

13406035853?profile=RESIZE_584x

The traffic above is all free! It is for the last 24 hours and I use this method.  

One more tip is to include your keyword phrase in your meta section.  A free tool, free meta tag generator will help you with that.  

Thank you for reading.

Much success,

Need An Image But Cannot Find It?

13403358493?profile=RESIZE_584x

Hi All!  I am George Pierce, this post is about a method that you can use to find images.  In my case, I could not find images of ancient class rooms.  Whatever I seemed to type into the search box for image sites such as Pexels and Pixabay, the images that came up were not even close to what I wanted.  Above is an example image of what I wanted. The right images will enhance our story, the wrong images do not work.  My source for these hard to find images were "CoPilot" and "ChatGPT".  I am making this quick post to share this info, since you may not be aware that this is an option to find the image that you want, and these images will have no copyright issues.  

Thanks for reading,

Much success,

George Pierce

PS.  The images were for the following video.

PPS.  I also could not find a 'camels walking sound effect' and 'harp music' on YT Audio Library, Pixabay has an excellent section for sound effects and music, to help us find what we want.

PPPS.  The image for the thumbnail for the video is thanks to ChatGPT.

How To Be Sure Viewers And Visitors Find You

13402462668?profile=RESIZE_710x

Hello Everyone!  I am George Pierce, this post is about insuring that your viewers and visitors will find you.  Let's say that someone watches one of your videos or reads one of your posts and they love it!  Eventually, this sommeone might return to binge watch your videos or to devour an endless amount of your websiite content!  There is often a problem, however, when they are ready to return.  They cannot get back to your channel or website, because:  

They Cannot Find You!

Above is a snapshot of the search results for one of my sites.  Its job is to attract visitors, and provide them with a good experience.  The goal is to get them to subscribe to an email list, and/or send them to the QG YT channel.  The above site is new, yet it is on page one of search, in the second spot.  

13402470460?profile=RESIZE_710x

This next snapshot is the search results for the YT channel.  It is also on page one, and in the number one spot.

What you see above is what is supposed to happen when someone wants to visit your channel or website.  As mentioned, they enjoyed their last visit and are ready to return, or they may have seen something you posted on social media, or have been referred, etc.  

What often happens, however, is that you do not show up in search. 

Do yourself a favor.  Search for your channel, site, blog, and so on.  If you are not on page one, preferably at or near the top. here is how you can fix it.  

It is easy and it is free!

On YT, include the name of your channel in your tags and in your description.  Both.   On your website, include the name of your site in your settings (on WP ~ Setting ~ General) and in your keywords.  Both.

If you are not showing up on page one, preferably in one of the top spots, use the above, as you can see, it works. 

The search engines WILL send people to you, that are searching for your channel or site, all you need to do is to make the search engines aware.  

Thank you for reading.

Much Success,

George Pierce

A YouTube YES!

13402258068?profile=RESIZE_710x

Hello!  I am George Pierce and this post is about the most valuable strategy that will help you on YouTube or any other online venture.  I am primarily a content marketer and my number one strategy for creating online content is to build the content around a keyword(s) or keyword phrease(s) that has/have good search and less competition.  There is one trick that beats that strategy.  What is it?

Pay attention to what your viewers or visitors are interested in.  If one of more of your vidos or websiites or blog posts, etc. are getting better than usual traffic and your viewers and visitors are staying, this is a strong signal that they like the content. 

...click here for the answer to the riddle...

Obviously, do more of it.   When your audence shows more interest than usual, in your content, give them more of it.  

Bonus:

Make your content unique or different or both. 

With more and more content being created with AI, viewers and readers welcome fresh content, different content, new content, origihal content...you get the point.  Even if you use AI, take the tiime to put it in your own words.  

Above is a STRANGE EXAMPLE of how AI helped make a totally original video!??  The riddle in the video is based on a riddle about two trains heading toward each other.  I changed the scenario (instead of trains, Hermione and Ron are on a collision course) and changed the parameters (speeds and distance), instead of a bird flying back and forth between the trains, it is Harry Potter, then handed it over to Chat GPT to do the math.  

The end result is new and original content for a hungry market!

Thank you for reading.

Much success,

George Pierce

Free SEO Training Course ~ 7 Week Action Plan

13401161864?profile=RESIZE_710x

Hi All!  I am George Pierce, this post is about a free 7-week SEO training course from Neil Patel.   Neil is one of the best in the business; his training can help you more than you can imagine.  

Neil Pateel's "7-week activity plan" is a structured electronic advertising and marketing approach concentrating on building a solid structure in SEO (Search Engine Optimization) by tackling vital areas like keyword study, on-page optimization, technological search engine optimization, content development, and web link building over a seven-week duration, with every week committed to a particular set of skills.

13401158475?profile=RESIZE_710x

Ubersuggest (above) is a free set of tools from Neil Patel.  Above is a sample of my new site audit.  


Key elements of the 7-week activity plan:

Week 1: Keyword Phrase Research Study and Evaluation:
Identify appropriate keywords for your target market.
Examine search volume and competitors for each keyword phrase.
Develop a checklist of main and secondary key phrases to target.

Week 2: On-Page SEO Optimization:
Optimize website title tags and meta summaries for target search phrases.
Improve header tags (H1, H2, H3) for better web content structure.
Improve material relevance by integrating search phrases normally.

Week 3: Technical Search Engine Optimization Audit:
Check for busted web links and redirect concerns.
Evaluate site loading speed and optimize for faster performance.
Guarantee appropriate website framework and XML sitemap submission.

Week 4: Content Production Approach:
Develop a web content calendar based on keyword research and audience passions.
Produce top-quality, helpful web content that addresses customer requirements.
Maximize content for on-page search engine optimization with relevant keyword phrases.

13401174890?profile=RESIZE_710x

SEO is easier than you think (see the above snapshot), anyone can understand it, and then use it to leverage their online results.

Week 5: Link Building:
Determine high-grade websites relevant to your specific niche for outreach.
Construct partnerships with site proprietors via guest publishing or web content co-operations.
Display and handle incoming backlinks to your site.

Week 6: Regional SEO (if suitable):
Develop and enhance Google My Company listing.
Collect local citations from relevant organization directories.
Take care of online testimonials and reputation monitoring.

13401210462?profile=RESIZE_710x

The above is proof that SEO does work.  My new channel video is in the #3 spot in YT search for the keyword phrase "Valentine Quiz" with only 10 views.  


Week 7: Tracking and Analysis:.
Screen site traffic and essential performance signs (KPIs) like natural search positions.
Analyze information to recognize locations for renovation and make adjustments to your approach.

Shhh!  Before I started online, I discovered three words that scared me:  Search Engine Optimization!  I eventually found that SEO is one of the best ways to get the best quality traffic for free and with little effort.  Consider putting the power of SEO to work for you at no cost.

Thank you for reading.

Much success,

The Best Way To Build Backlinks For Free

13395236260?profile=RESIZE_710x

Hi All!  I am George Pierce.  In  this post, I will be sharing what I believe is the best way to build backlinks and it happens to be free and easy. The method is so simple.  The image above is from link tracker on Ubersuggest, a free tool which shows that I practce what I preach.  I include this info because I am presently on about a 45 day streak of finding no useful content on YT for making money online, building a website, or growing a YT channel.  On the other hand, over a quarter of a million backlinks is a bit hard to comprehend when you are starting out, so allow me to share a backlink image of a new site.

13395255891?profile=RESIZE_710x

The backlinks that are showing up in the image above are from SHARING!  They are not from a backlink builder, which I do not recommend. they are from sharing.  How this works is that each time that you add content to your website, YT channel, blog, etc., share it.  

For example, when you add content to your website, share it on sites such as YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, Reddit, Pinterest, Tumbler, Twitter, LinkedIn, StumbleUpon, Digg, Delicious, Bebo, and so on.  These sites are social sites (social media), so sharing your content is a great idea because it can also help you to generate free traffic as well as high ranking backlinks.  

Join several social media sites, each time you add content, share it on those sites, and interact. When you do not interact, your content will usually get little to no attention, when you interact, you become a 'member', so your shared content will not be thought of as SPAM, which means it will generate free traffic in additon to quality backlinks.  

Using this method of creating backlinks takes time, and a little effort, but the links you will be creating are solid gold, and there is a cumulative effect.  Give sharing a try, it not only works, it will turn out to be fun.

Thank you for reading.

Much success,

George Pierce

A Guilt Free Valentine Candy

13389996469?profile=RESIZE_400x

Hi All!  I am George Pierce, this post is about a delicious chocolate the has ZERO added sugar!  Weight loss is my primary niche, so allow me to share some good news about what may be a better choice as a Valentine's Day gift.  The prooduct is Red Delight, it is dark chocolate with no added sugar.  6 pieces of chocolate (one serving) is 100 calories, and the amount of sugar is less than 1g, there is absolutely no added sugar.

Giving someone candy on Valentine's Day is a tradition, but candy is not a healthy choice. Six pieces of regular chocolate which is about 76 grams of Milk Chocolate contains about 398 calories and 22g of fat and 39g of sugar!  

13390015280?profile=RESIZE_584x

According to the American Heart Association, the recommended amount of sugar per day for women is 25g and for men is 36g.   A six peice serving has 39g of sugar which is 156%  for women and 108% for men of the total recommended daily amount.  As mentioned, Red Delight has less than 1g of sugar in a 6 piece serving.

Choclate is a high sugar food, as is most candy, therefore it is not a healthy gift.  May I recommend a no added sugar option such as Red Delight.  Red Delight is available on Amazon, if you do not find it in your local store.  

Thank you for readng.

Much success,

Happy New Year! Quick AI Tip

13382105475?profile=RESIZE_710x

Happy New Year!  I am George Pierce, this post is to wish you and yours a very happy and prosperous New year, along with a brief AI tip. 

The tip is the following which you can use on your website, YT channel, or both. 

Let's begin with a Happy New Year video which is free from Pixabay. 

Notice the Quiz Geeks logo (I share what I do).

Let's follow this up with some text.  And this is where the AI Tip comes in.  

I am NOT a gifted writer, but there are two free AI options that I use and recommend.

Chat GPT and Copilot. 

They are awesome!  If you are not using AI to help your efforts, check out these free options.

GPT stands for Generative pre-trained transformer, a robot that we can communicate with and uderstand. 

The benefit of ChatGPT is that it automatically saves everything, Copilot does not.

So I asked ChatGPT for a Happy New Year post for a quiz channel.

The following is what I received in a split second. 

13382123454?profile=RESIZE_710x

Here what was posted:

13382127057?profile=RESIZE_710x

 AI can help you and your efforts.  You will be able to save time and do a better job at ZERO cost. Give it a try.

Thank you for reading, and have a wonderful New Year!

Much success,

George Pierce

Do You Hate YouTube Analytics?

13380681499?profile=RESIZE_710x

Hi ALL!  I am George Pierce, and at the start of my online adventue, I hated analytics of any kind.  I was new and, honestly, I was terrible at Internet Marketing.  So, for me, analytics were not only boring, but also they confirmed the fact that I was doing poorly.  I felt that I did not need to be reminded of my inadequate results, so I made one of my many IM mistakes...I avoided analytics.  I believe that many new and aspiring IMs are also guilty of the same mistake.  In my case, I compounded the mistake of avoiding analytics.  How?  I continued to avoid them for months. 

My intent for this post is to help you to change your attitude toward analytics, to help you to stop avoiding your analytics.  Why should you?  I discovered that analytics are your friend, not your enemy.  Analytics will show you almost instantly what you are doing right!  Yes, analytics also will show you what you are doing wrong, and although I initially took this remnder as a negative, it is a positive.  In fact, our wrongs are our best teachers, and they are often hidden levers that will boost our results more effectively than what we are doing right.

In this post I will share an overview of the analytics of a recent video.  It so happens that YT analytics are the best and they are free.  The better the analytics, the more boring they may seem, so please stay with me, because analytics can be exciting!  

13380701091?profile=RESIZE_710x

Exciting!??

YouTube analytics show us the good and the bad.  Why that is exciting, is that we can DO MORE of what is working, and we can take steps to FIX what is not.   Let's begin with some of what is good.  The snapshot (above) shows a video has already gotten over 10K impressions.  Impressions are when a prospective viewers sees the thumbnail (for 1 seond or more).  In order to get 10K impressions, YT is sharing or showing the video's thumbnail and title to prospective viewers.  Technically, YT does this with every video, so what is the big deal?

13380701072?profile=RESIZE_710x

The big deal is that YT is continuing to share the video.  The underlying reason for this, is that people are watching the video!  Viewers are liking the content.  One of the secrets of online success is to "find out what your audience wants" and then "give it to them".   YT analytics will show you when you are making that happen!  

As mentioned, analytics will also point out what we are doing wrong.  As you see in the snapshot immediately above, the CTR is 1.7%.  Out of every 100 impressions, 1.7 people are clicking on the vdeo, or 17 out of 1,000 people.  A CTR above 1% is OK, but many of my videos are 3%, 4%, and more.  If you will look at the top snapshot, you will see that I am changing the thumbnail.  When I make a change, I also make note that the original thumbnail yielded 236 views out of 10.2K impressions, 1.7%.  So I can compare the performances.  

Making simple changes, such as a new thumbnail is called test and tweaking.  You make a tweak, and compare the results.  As you gain experience, testing and tweaking will become one of your best strategies for improving and for growth.  

Your analytics with be your secret assistant, your guide, to helping you know exactly what needs tweaking!  

Thank you for reading.

Much success,

George Pierce

PPS.  The channel that the video is on is new, so analytics are even more helpful.  They can point us in the right direction and help us avoid the wrong direction.  Below is the video with a new thumbnail, will it do better?  Analytics will tell us.

FREE Text To Video

13380245473?profile=RESIZE_710x

Hi All!  I am George Pierce, this post is about a free text to video site that really is free!  And it stays free.  The site is Invideo AI.  I have mentioned Invideo once before on SE.  The reason that I am sharing it again is that earlier today I checked out three "free" text to video sites...and NONE were free...not even a free trial.  In each case, you were allowed to use the software, and when it came time to generate your video, you need to purchase credits.  13380250301?profile=RESIZE_584x

The Invideo software is amazing, beyond amazing.  You simply enter a description of what you want, and the software does the rest.  If you are not making videos, do yourself a favor and check out Invideo AI.  

Since I share what I do, I am a real user of Invideo AI.  I have been a fan for several years. 


Watch the following video and you will see what Invideo can do for you.  The intro and outro were made with CreateStuudio, the video was made with Invideo AI. 

 

Using text to video is an example of how AI can help your business, your website, your channel, your blog, etc.  Whatever your online venture, video will enhance your efforts and free text to video is about as easy as it gets.

Thank you for reading.

Much success,

For Experienced Marketers Only!

 

13376671288?profile=RESIZE_710x

Hi ALL!  I am George Pierce and this post is about an online opportunity for expernced marketers.  The opportunity is called Wishup.  Commissions are $500 to $1,000.  Cookies last 90 days.   Wishup has been around since 2015.   I do not recommend high ticket affiliates for beginners, if you are new to online marketing, you are not ready for high ticket affilates, and you probably would not get accepted.  

Wishup is in the "Virtual Assistant" business.  You will be surprised at the number of virtual assistant careers that Wishup handles, and that is partly what got my attention.  Each and every career is an affiliate marketing opportunity!  In addition, timing is a lesser known, yet important factor, in sales, and the timing could not be better.  

Above is a snapshot of a free pdf that you will receive as an affiliate.  Evey page is going to help you make money.  Below is a snapshot of the search results for 'remote jobs' per Ubersuggest.  You will also find more promotional materials  and videos at your Wishup dashboard. 

13376741481?profile=RESIZE_584x

One Million searches is impressive...note that 'no experience remote jobs' has an SD of 18 (the lower the better), which relates to about an 82% success rate. 

And when you search for those keywords, there are no videos! 

You and I can capitalize on that!  

13376789687?profile=RESIZE_584x

 

The above Ubersuggest snapshots  help with the point that I want to make, which is that there are keywords with great search and low competition.  And, as mentioned, most of my research (keyword searches) had NO videos, another wide open opportunity.

As an experienced marketer, choosing the right online platforms make our jobs easier and helps our incomes grow faster,

Wishup may be right for you.   To find the affiliate program, go to their website and look for affiliate program at the bottom of the page.

Much success,

George Pierce

PS.  I am sure that you have been told that new Internet Marketers should promote high ticket items, it is often to get you to buy a high ticket training course.  Keep working, keep gaining experience, and keep learning, and you will soon be ready.

How To Go From 0% to 90%!

13352257871?profile=RESIZE_584x

Hello!  I am George Pierce, this post is about how you can go from 0% to 90% success online.  There are four important factors.  

1:  Stay With It

2: Learn All You Can

3. Work All You Can

4.  Keep Believing (Attitude)

Making money online is possible, and it is a dream that anyone can achieve.  Gaining traction, however, is not usually as easy and as fast as most of us would like or expect.  My results were nearly ZERO for the first several months...and for most of us, ZERO results are going to kill our "BELIEF" that making money online is worth our time and effort.  When that happens, we make our biggest mistake!  We QUIT!  

But what if you are like I was...which is "convinced that making money online will work"?  

The reason why this does not work immediately is that it is going to take you time to learn.  There is a learning curve, like it or not.  The best way to shorten that curve is to learn as mush as you can and to work.  Work provides us with on-hands experience, which will prove to be invaluable.

Below is a snapshot of a new YT channel.  

13352263087?profile=RESIZE_710x

Guess What?

The channel's initial results were dismal, the first few videos were sort of terrible!  Remember...there is a learning curve.  And I want you to see that I am still learning.  

The channel is only at about 60%.  Why?  There is more to learn and there is more experience that needs to be gained.

Speaking of learning:

If you love to learn, making money online is for you. There is always more to learn.  If you will keep learning, keep worrking, and maintain your belief, you will be unstoppable.  

Thank you for reading.
