Hello!  I am George Pierce, this post is a quick tip for discovering what is selling or trending.  The above is a spinoff of a hot-selling T-shirt design.  You will see how to find best-selling products fast, you can use this trick with any product. You can also use this tip for Holidays and events, as you will see in a moment.

I use this with Amazon.  Amazon will show us what is selling or trending, and Amazon is a good indicator when something is a hot seller, best seller, or trending.  Go to Amazon, type into the Amazon search box, the words 'best selling' or 'trending', followed by a product name, such as best selling T-shirts, or trending T-shirts.   This also works with Holidays and events, for example. type in best-selling Valentine's Day gifts, Mother's Day gifts, wedding presents, graduation gifts, etc. 

It is a money-making trick!

The above are MODIFIED versions of two of the top-selling (top 10) T-shirt designs on Amazon.  Regarding POD (print-on-demand) items such as T-shirts and mugs, you and I can readily see what is hot, and then we can use Canva to quickly create a modified version.  Do NOT copy, modify.

This trick will also tell you what to sell for Holidays and events. 

I am a fan of using this tip for comparing higher ticket items such as big-screen TVs from known sellers such as Amazon, Walmart, and Lowes.  Add a solid and comprehensive description, customer reviews, and what is good and bad, you have helped your visitors with their buying decisions, so when they make a click-through, they are more likely to BUY!

Thank you for reading.

Much success,

Hello!  I am George Pierce and this post is about overcoming what I believe is the biggest problem when starting a T-Shirt of POD (Print On-demand) business.  When it comes to a T-shirt or POD biz, you can get a 100% free store, I am a fan and user of Spread Shirt, but there are many free options.  Setting up your store is also easy, simply follow the steps. 

And then the T-Shirt Biz killer rears its head!  

DESIGN!

Most of us are NOT designers, I am certainly not.   Spread shirt provides us with free designs as you see above.  Rorschach test-like designs, however, are not big sellers, so those of us with little to no design talents make little to no money and quit.  

The only way to fail at making money online is 'QUIT'.  

The good news is that there is a way to slay this T-Shirt Biz Killer!

It is a site called Canva.  Canva is free and can help you and me with just about any image, including images for T-Shirts, or any other POD items.  

Join Canva, as mentioned, it is free.  Search for T-shirt design.  You will find images such as the cat above, which has been a hot seller for years,

add text, name your design, and download, then upload to Spread Shirt, which is free.   

Canva's free designs will give your store an edge, you do not need graphic design knowledge or tools.  Canva is drag-and-drop easy. 

Design is an obstacle that Canva can help you to overcome.  Print On Demand has a huge potential and Canva can help to separate you from the crowd.  

Find out what is selling by looking at your competition.  Then go to Canva to see what they have that is similar, and turn it into a creation.

With Canva's help. you will be providing what your prospective audience is interested in!  When you drive traffic to your online POD business, they become BUYERS!

Hi ALL!  I am George Pierce, and this post is about using splash pictures to make money online.  The above image 

is a snapshot, of an example of a splash picture.  What makes this so appealing is that you can make about

10 to 12 in an hour, and then take another hour to promote them on social media sites.  The above splash picture

was made with AIOP, with the splash page builder, which has NO LIMIT on the number of splash pages or splash pictures! 

Of course, you can build regular splash pages, with images, videos, a sign-up form, and so on, but splash pictures

are so easy, fast, and effective.   This works because, with AIOP, you have a built-in product, which is AIOP.

AIOP is a complete marketing platform, it includes EVERYTHING that anyone or any business needs for an online biz, and

at the best price.  The value is outstanding, a complete marketing platform including website, autoresponder, and training, will cost from $97 to $297 per month, and the AIOP pricing is the icing on the cake, which is $12.50 per month.   AIOP has been around for years and has no complaints. 

In other words, AIOP sells itself. In addition, AIOP commissions are residual!  

How To Build Splash Pictures:

On the Toolbox dropdown, click on Splash Builder.  

You will be taken to the Splash Builder list page.  A list of all the pages that you have already created, if you are new, it is none.  At the bottom, name your splash page, and click on Create Splash Page.  

This will take you to the Splash Page Builder. 

You will find four templates, one for splash pictures (Quick splash page), one for a splash page with an image and sign-up form, and one for a splash page with a video and sign-up form, one for text on a plain background.    Choose the Quick Splash Page, it is a splash picture creator.  

You can use AIOP images and/or AIOP backgrounds.  In the example above, the main image (and as you see below) is from a free image and free video site called Pixabay.  Go to Pixabay, choose images in your Pixabay search, and type in 'money'.  Click on the image you want, download it, and then upload it to your splash builder (area 1 picture)

The background (top image above) is from AIOP. search sky.  

Use, the HTML editor to add and position your text (area 1 text 1)

Important TIP:  Save your work as you go. Your work is not automatically saved.

A valuable feature of this method using AIOP is that AIOP will do all the work, including sales and follow-up, and will build your list for you.  As you gain experience, you can move up to AIOP's pre-made campaigns, and then, create your own. 

Legally, I cannot make any promises, but if you can work at least two hours a week using this method, promoting about 10 to 12 splash pictures on a half dozen social media sites (60 to 70), which will take you less than two hours, you will not only generate income, but your income will grow each month.  AIOP has about 20 superb referral links and four for Facebook.  Use only FB links for FB.  

Even if you are a total beginner, you can duplicate this method.  If you can invest more time, your results will be that much better.

Thank you for reading.

Much success,

George Pierce

PS.  You will find additional Splash Builder help by clicking on tutorials, which will take you to step-by-step video instructions.  I have been with AJOP for years, so I can attest to their value and service.  

Hi, I am George Pierce, this post is about naming your online business.  Naming your online business is a big deal.  Finding the perfect name is important and the right name can and will benefit your business, but there are more steps to the process, and they are just as important. 

#1 Finding the right name

Finding the perfect name is easier than ever, especially with AI.  Search for 'free business name generator', choose one, describe your business, and you will almost instantly have dozens of business name choices.   Surprisingly good choices, if not, great choices.  

#2 Is the name already taken?  

There are several searches that you can make and that you want to make, before finalizing your choice.  

• Entity name protects you at a state level  (search for ~ business name search and your state)  Your state should have a "search tool", type in the prospective name of your business.  
• Trademark protects you at a federal level  (go to US Patent Office and Trademarks)  Type in your prospective name to search the database.
• Domain name protects your business website address (go to Who Is)  Type in your prospective name.

You should also do a social media search and a Google search.  

Finding a name that is NOT already taken is not just a wise business move, it is a smart legal move as well. 

True story:  A local business built an awesome arcade, game, miniature golf, batting cages, and more.  The name of their business was "The Play Station".  The name was already taken!

That was an example of a major OOPS, but even a totally free online business is still going to involve your time and effort.  And when it takes off is not the time to find out that the name is taken.  

Thank you for reading.

Much success,

Hi Everyone! I am George Pierce and this post is about writing at too high a level.  It is a common mistake that some of us might make, and the reason for this post is that it is one that I made today.   It can be a costly mistake online or offline.  Why?  This is a mistake that alienates (oops-grin), repels, and repulses your reader or listener.  In either case, talking or writing at a college level is NOT recommended.  Depending on who you listen to, most experts seem to recommend that we write at a 7th-grade level, no higher than an eighth-grade level.  If you think that writing at that level might insult a higher educated audience, the experts seem to agree that it is not a problem.  In fact, most of the best-selling novels are at a seventh-grade level. 

How To Find The Reading Level Of Your Content!

Above is a partial snapshot of a post getting ready for a web page and a video.  The tool that you see above is free from Wordcounter dot net.  Similar word counter tools are available for free, type word counter into your search box to find them.  One of many things that it reveals is the "Reading Level", see the right-hand column.  

Typically, the solution to lowering the reading level is to 'dumb it down', which is to choose other, more common words instead of lesser-known words or multisyllabic words (I am doing this on purpose), in other words, perhaps write 'words that have a lot of syllables'.  

In the above example, there are no alternate choices for words such as Beta-glutan.  What you can do in that case is to ADD an explanation, a description, or a definition.  Notice that longer or lesser-known words such as Beta-glucan, or Wheat Detrin are followed by "which is" and then a description.  It so happened that there are many longer words, which did not seem to have an alternate 'dumbed down' option.

In that case, I hope this helps us remember that we have to be like Lucy!??

If you must use higher level words, that you cannot dumb down, just do some splainin'.

Hi ALL! I am George Pierce, this post is about considering FUNNY as a niche.  The most popular content is supposed to be content that informs, educates, or entertains.  Funny as a niche would entertain.  Funny is a niche that I have been looking at for a while, in this post, I will be sharing what I have learned, perhaps it can help you.  

What does Google say?

According to Google, the most popular niche is music videos, a niche that I am in, and, even though it is the top niche, I am recommending the #2 most popular niche which is comedy, meme, or viral video. 

To be able to legally use most music videos, you will need to 'enhance' the content (Fair Use Act of 76) which takes effort and time. If you love music, then, follow your passion. 

A funny joke or story can be spun with AI or you can make changes that can turn it into 'New' content.  Changing a few words is NOT going to make it legally OK.  I use SpinRewriter which spins content so that new articles, jokes, or stories are usually over 95% unique.  Internet Archive Public Domain and Public Domain have an almost infinite supply of funny images and videos that you and I can use as our own.  

Above is a snapshot of a free tool, Keyword Explorer, a free Chome extension from TubeBuddy.  When I begin keyword research, I usually start with a phrase such as 'Funny videos'.  I know that this phrase will probably score very poorly, but I want to get an idea as to how popular this niche really is.  Then I will usually use some of the suggested keyword phrases on the right to find better-scoring phrases.   Funny Videos is a keyword phrase that surprised me, in a good way.  The fact that there are over 28 MILLION searches per month on YT alone is part of the reason for this post along with the fact that KE gives it an overall score in the GOOD range.  

Image by luis_molinero on Freepik  

Images such as the one above are available at Free Pik and Free Pik offers free editing online. Their free images will need attribution.  With a little imagination, you have viral potential.  In my case, I have already been using images such as the above with a funny line or quote and a CTA.  If this is already part of what you do, then getting a little deeper into the 'funny' niche is just a re-use of content. 

One of the secrets to your success is to give people what they want.  Zig Zigler said it best. "You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help other people get what they want."

According to Google and TubeBuddy, an overwhelming number of people want 'FUNNY'.

Thank you for reading.

PPS.  Funny in progress (under construction):  Presently, this is a private unlisted video.

Hi!  I am George Pierce, my 90/10 formula is a simple recipe for videos, more importantly, videos that are going to get views, and videos that will generate click-throughs.  Create a short video with helpful information or humor, followed by a call to action.  

There are a gazillion tips that you can share, and many gazillion funny images, videos, stories, and jokes, that you can share in a video and follow it with a call to action and a link in the description.  

When does the time change?  Post it a couple of months before the time change. 

You will get a ton of views and clicks.  The videos that I am sharing were made with Create Studio

The software is the best, but it is not free.  The cost is $67 and you own it for life.  

This post is a kind of example of my 90/10 formula.  The formula also works on textual content.

Based on my experience, the niche does not seem to matter in video format, in other words,

you will get click-throughs, in textual format, your link should be relevant.  (my opinion)

You can create these kinds of videos for free on sites such as Renderforest and Powtoon. 

They are fast, easy, and fun.  Post them on social media sites and reap the benefits.

Thank you for watching.

Much success,

George Pierce

PS.  This video is unfinished, there is not yet a CTA.

HELLO!  I am George Pierce, this post is about the three-act strategy and the two-act strategy.  The three-act strategy is a simple and proven format that you can use for content creation.  Whether your content is online or offline, a video, a blog page, a web page, a book, a play, a movie, etc., the three-act strategy will make creation easier, and can dramatically improve your results. 

Above is a snapshot of a video of one of the variations of what is called the London System.  SYSTEM is the keyword.  As you work your way up in chess, you can use "systems".   The systems give you an overall strategy that you can follow, sort of a track to run on, as well as a method to get you to your destination. 

The benefit of the three-act strategy is that it is a system that you can follow and one that will improve results.

#1 The Set Up 

#2 The Confrontation

#3 The Resolution

 Syd Field popularized the strategy in his 1979 book Screenplay: The Foundations of Screenwriting. When we divide our story into acts, we can effectively SET UP  our world and our characters,  build tension and conflict, (Confrontation), and then take our story to a satisfying conclusion or resolution.

The Matrix and Star Wars are based on the three-act strategy.  

In marketing, this is often reduced to a two-act strategy called Problem and Solution. 

#1 Problem

#2 Solution

Problem and solution text structure definition is a system of writing where the structure of the written text identifies the problem or problems and how the problem is solved. You and I present a problem with details and then we provide a solution with accompanying details.  A proven way to make this more effective is to focus on the benefits which are the ways that the user or purchaser will benefit.  

For example:  If you are selling a car that gets 60 miles per gallon ~ that is a feature, but you do not sell the steak, you sell the sizzle.  You can drive this car all day and the next without having to stop for gas, you can drive this car for weeks on a tank of gas, you can cut your fuel costs in half, and this car should save you enough money each month to do some of those things that you have been wanting to do.  

To summarize:

The Problem is that you put your heart and soul into creating your content, and your results are dismal.  No one seems to like it.  You may or may not try another time or two, your results are still dismal, and....arghhh...you quit.

The solution: Add the two or three act strategy. Your results will improve, you do not quit, and suddenly, you have opened the door to your success!

Thank you for reading.

Hi Everyone!  I am George Pierce, I have several YT channels and have received at least a dozen strikes over the years. All but one have been bogus, but most of these strikes come from scammers, which can have serious, dire, and financially devastating consequences!  This post is about what to do when you get a YouTube strike.   

When one of my channels gets a strike, my instinct is to remove the strike, and get my video back online,  and you will probably feel the same way.  So you are probably going to make the same mistake that I have made, which is to contact the claimant and politely ask them to remove their claim.  

Before I continue, the following is based on my experiences and my opinion, it is for informational purposes only.  It is not meant as legal advice.

So, in my opinion, do NOT do that, at least not yet.  Based on my experience, only one claim was legit, so over 90% has been bogus.  And if you are feeling like I felt, you want to immediately let it be known that this is a bogus claim...WRONG!  This is what YT tells us to do, and even what the gurus are saying...

I totally disagree!  

Think about this!  If the claim is bogus...it is probably coming from a scammer, yes, it could be an accident, but, I repeat, it is probably coming from a scammer. 

WHOA!

If the YT strike is the result of a scammer, you may not be aware of what a scammer can do with your phone number.  

1.  SCAM Calls!  Annoying, and possibly financially harmful, scam calls can be blocked, but this is only the beginning.

2.  Financial Accounts!    Your cell number is usually linked to bank accounts, social security benefits, and more!

3.  SCAM Texts!  

4.  Phishing using your number!

5. Rerouting your number!

6.  SIM swapping and port-out scams

7. AI Voice Scams

8. Mine your private data.

9. Send malware.

10. Spoof your phone.

My point is that if this strike is a scam, you want to protect yourself.  You want to LOOK before you leap.  

I am going to be using real proof of real scams, to demonstrate how this works and how it can help you. 

At this point, however, here is a way to help validate whether there is a chance that the claim is legit.  

Go to the US copyright records  https://publicrecords dot copyright dot gov/

Search for the copyright of the content in question.  

The above is a movie that is in the Public Domain.  When something is in the Public Domain, no permission or license is needed for you to use the content.  The Visual Ventures claims authorship and therefore the rights (copyright) to this movie.  If that were a legit claim. it should show up, it does not.  This does not guarantee that their claim is not legit, but since their claim is not showing up. it may be that this is a scam.  So take heed. 

Let's get back to how to find out if this claim is a scam.

What you see above are two contact emails. The two most recent claims.  YouTube will provide you with an email address, the idea is to contact the claimant.

Do not contact the claimant,

instead, copy the URL.  The URL is that part of the email address that follows the @ sign.  

Next, go to "Who Is".  Type "Who Is" in your search box.  Who Is will show us who owns this domain. 

Specifically, as you see above, the address and phone number will show up.

Often the address revealed does not match the address shown on the website, which may not be a big deal, RIAA, for example, has different addresses but both are in Arizona...however, the visual ventures has a UK address on the website and a US registrar.  Hmmm? 

A search of the address will usually reveal scam complaints if this is a scam.  A search of the PHONE Number will almost always reveal scam complaints.  

There is more to this than I am sharing such as an official-looking court order, but the sitting Judge retired in 2010, and passed away in 2018, and the law firm does not exist...and, how do I know this?  

Since it is quite evident that I am being scammed, I do not trust anything about the scammer. Therefore, RESEARCH, everything.  You will probably be amazed at what you find.

Remember that the scammer wants your phone number!  

Scammers are going to do whatever they can to get it, and an emotional path such as your getting angry is exactly what they want.  At some point, you will be given a phone number...DO NOT call.  The phone number is a trap, you will probably get an endless loop or a 'bad connection', but the scammer has your number...and any or all of the 10 consequences above can happen.

Now what?

I am sorry to say that YT is not going to be sympathetic.  Their policy seems to be to sweep this stuff under the rug, and you cannot blame them. Unfortunately, their policy is to sweep the YT creator under the rug, as well.  I believe the treatment of their creators is looked upon as abuse, and it will change, but until it does, share whatever you have found that indicates that this is a scam with YT and that you do not want them to share any information about you.  

I hope that YT will modify its actions since it seems that almost every claim is a scam.  They may not be able to restore your video, and you cannot blame them, they are protecting you as well as YT,  but let's hope this will help change how they treat the creators.  

Best of all, you have not divulged your phone number!

Thank you for reading.

Much success,

George Pierce

PS.  The one legitimate claim resulted in the immediate shutdown of that channel and two more.  It was one strike and out.  I did get the two innocent channels back online, but not the one with the strike.  My point is to do your best to avoid strikes, hopefully, you will not receive any, and, then, if you do get a strike, you will change how you respond, since you now know that it is probably a scam.  

PPS.  If making money online interests you, please visit my YT channel and check out my free training.  

PPPS.  If you are getting scam calls, or think you are, a reverse phone number lookup service may help, it will reveal details such as name, location, and carrier.

The FIRST Satelite Driven Mobile Phone Scam Call 

Hi All!  I am George Pierce, this post is about unclaimed money!  According to the US  Government, over $4 BILLION of unclaimed money is paid back to its rightful owners each year, and one in seven has unclaimed money that we do not know about.  I am one of those "one in seven" and this post is about how you can find out if you have any unclaimed money and how to get it back, how to do it for free, and how to do it online with just a couple of clicks. 

Unclaimed money is held by the state.  If a business, a bank, or the government owes you money that you did not collect, 

it is considered unclaimed money or unclaimed property. 

 You can search for and file for unclaimed money owed to you, even unclaimed money that was owed to a deceased relative if you are their legal heir.

Search by state  https://unclaimed.org/

Most unclaimed money is held by state governments from sources such as bank accounts, insurance policies, or state agencies.

Search for unclaimed money from your state’s unclaimed property office. If you have lived in other states, check their unclaimed property offices, too.  When you click on any of the states or territories (using the link https://unclaimed.org/), you will go directly to that state. 

Click on search for property.

Enter your name and address, and hit SEARCH.

My search yielded two results.  The hundred dollars was from 

a computer company, and the other one was a refund of an overpayment.  

The bottom line is that I had NO CLUE that there was unclaimed money in my name. 

To get the money, hit claim, fill in the details, and submit.

If you have unclaimed money such as wages, pension funds, tax refunds, insurance funds, insurance refunds,

stimulus checks, investments, bank failures, credit union failures, savings bonds, bankruptcies, or 

Individual Indian money, visit unclaimed money.  https://www.usa.gov/unclaimed-money  

Then scroll down to 'search other databases', and click the appropriate link. 

To find out if you have any unclaimed money, the links above are all you need.  

Thank you for reading.

Much success,

Hi All!  I am George Pierce.  This post is about a new free video creation tool, Invideo AI.  I posted about it on SE about 4 weeks ago.  I am posting about it again for two reasons.  

The first reason is that this free video creation is so impressive.  All it needs is a keyword...hit generate, give it a few minutes, and download your video.  You have the option to edit, but you will find that you will not need to edit.

This video was created using the keyword phrase "fiber foods", that is it.  I hit generate, did zero editing, downloaded it, sandwiched it between an intro and outro, and this is the result with almost no effort!

I am not a proponent of laziness, but the title Lazy Man's Video Creator is not misleading.  At the time of this post, it is the Fourth Of July weekend...that is my excuse for using Invideo AI.  It is still new for me.  I believe that it might be perfect for making YT shorts.  The point is that the videos are superb, and you do not need any experience to make these videos.

The second reason for this post is that I said in my previous post that the free version offered us 10 minutes per month, I was wrong, it is 10 minutes per week up to 4 videos per week.  

That relates to four free two-and-one-half-minute professional videos per week, with almost no effort.  Post these videos on sites such as YT, and TikTok, and share the videos on social sites such as Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, LinkedIn, Reddit, and so on for a huge free traffic boost.

Thank you for reading.

Hi Everyone!  I am George Pierce, this post is about how you can easily remove the background from an image, and how to add an outline.  The process is free, fast, and simple.  We will use two tools: one to remove the background and another to add the outline.  Above is an example of what you can create in about two minutes or less.  

The first step is to remove the background.

Based on my experience, Removebg (remove dot bg) is the BEST background removal site and is free.  Upload your image.

The image on the left is the one that I uploaded for this post, because the background and this image are close, as far as color. I want you to see how good a job this software does.

The image on the right is the one that was downloaded from Removebg.  The software did all the work.

If the software does not do a perfect job, if it fails to remove a spot or removes a bit too much, you can manually edit, if necessary.  The bottom line is that Removebg does a nearly perfect job nearly every time.  You will love the results, how easy this is, and how fast it is.

Click done and download.

To add an outline, go to Canva (canva dot com). Upload your image.

Near the top left of your dashboard, click on 'Edit Image'.

Click on the box that says shadows (above), then shadow (below).

 Your outline will appear around your image.  It is that easy.  Near the bottom left, you have control over the width (Size) of your outline, the color of your outline, and the intensity.  

When you are happy with your new image, name your image, click share, and click download.  

Images with outlines are proven to get more attention, so using an outline for a YT thumbnail is a popular way to get more views.

As you can see, the software does the work.

Thank you for reading.

Much success,

PPS.  The five-year rule is a tip that I recommend for choosing a drop shipper or a Network Marketing opportunity.  Once a business hits five years, statistically, it is less likely to shut down.  I will be sharing a dropshipping video soon.  I have about 6 years of drop shipping experience, so be sure to join SE, so you can get notified when the video is posted on SE. 

Hi All!  I am George Pierce.  This post is about amazing online software that makes creating animated videos easy.  The software is called CreateStudio. I recommend you look at it as a prospective affiliate and for personal use.  

The fact is that animation is the BEST attention grabber for small businesses.  The software is not free. There is a lifetime version, you pay a one-time cost of $67 and you have the CreateSudio for life.  I have been a very satisfied user for about three years.  I purchased CreateStudio and a competitor's software at the same time.  The competitor had the same deal, a lifetime option for $67.  The competitor's software was so limited that the limitations made creation difficult.  CreateStudio is so awesome that I am still learning because the software can do almost anything!  It is capable of animation that is only limited by your imagination.  The software also comes with unlimited voice-over, which, for me, was the icing on the cake. 

What I did not know!  CreateStudio is constantly creating new updates, each update is to include something new or to include something better.  The software shows the updates that I thought were automatic.  They were not!  I went to Create Studio today to watch another training video about the characters and many of the character options such as ways to animate.  But some of the options are not showing up.  Much of what I learned from the free CreateStudio training was animation, as mentioned, but some of the options were simply not there. 

 The updates are available and free for life, but they are manual.  I just downloaded the latest version and it is like Christmas!  The software is more powerful than ever.  And it will do more than ever.  There are no limits such as the number of videos, the length of videos, etc. on the low-cost lifetime option and there is no watermark.  

CreateStudio advertises that beginners can create incredible videos in under 10 minutes.  One of the updates is more pre-made options. which makes creation even easier and faster.  Exactly what small businesses need.  

Tools!

Making money online is considered to be one of the last frontiers, and has also been compared to gold rushes.  Most prospectors did not strike it rich, it was the ones that sold the tools that made the money.

So, visit CreatStudio today.

Hi All!  I am George Pierce, this post is about a simple trick you can use to help get feedback.  The best way to online success is to give your visitors or viewers what they want.  Some awesome free research tools such as Ubersuggest and Keyword Explorer can help, as well as other methods such as Google Search, Google Trends, and YT Search.  

The best method, however, is to ask!  Yes, ask your visitors and viewers what they want!  Unfortunately, this strategy has been used, over-used, and abused.  I am not saying you should not use polls, surveys, and questions.  I am saying that when you ask for feedback, it will be more effective if you strive to be more creative. 

Above is an example.  

The image was made with Canva which is free and easy to use.

You can add text such as a header or subheader and then a poll or survey box. On WP, you can use a survey or a poll plug-in, on a regular web page, a survey or poll may be a drag-and-drop option, slide it below your image and text.  If not, there are free sites online that you can use for creating a feedback box.  

Asking still works, but, in my opinion, avoid the words 'survey' and 'poll' and use words such as 'help us improve' and 'help us serve you better'.

Thank you for reading.

Much success,

Hi All!  I am George Pierce.  This post is about how to turn your Blogspot blog into an RSS feed.  This example is for a WordPress feed, but this trick should work for any RSS feed.  

Set up your RSS Feed on your site.   Of the free RSS widgets, most are limited to one widget with a view limit of about 200 and a limit of 5 posts. , Feedwind has a free version of one widget, 5 posts, refresh every 12 hours, and no view limit.

WordPress has several excellent RSS plug-ins to choose from, Feedzy is probably the most basic, but, therefore, the most user-friendly and the easiest to set up.  If you want more options and more control, Aggregator is amazing.  

Next, go to your blogspot (blogger) home page, as you see above, and copy the link.  Post the link into your RSS Feed.

One More Step:

Next add  feeds/posts/default   to your blogspot URL.   

YourblogspotURL/feeds/posts/default

https://yourblogname.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default

That is it.  Your blogspot posts will now show up on your website or WP site.  On the WP plugins that I have used, your Blogspot posts will show up as posts by default.  You have other options such as pages and short code. 

RSS is an easy way to add fresh content to your website or WP site.  The RSS plug-ins that I have used on WP allow more than one feed.  It is easy to find RSS on the Internet, especially news feeds.  The Cron settings are at the bottom of the snapshot above.  It is set to refresh every three hours.  You set it and forget it.  This is NOT technical, the RSS plug-ins have an installation WIZARD which walks you step by step through the setup.

TIP:

SHARE your posts, articles, and videos and make one of those "SHARES" to a blogspot blog ~ which Google owns.  It is FREE and also unlimited.

RSS is a tool that you should be using, and free RSS widgets and plug-ins make it easy.

Hi All!   I am George Pierce.  This post is about installing a theme on WordPress.  Above is a snapshot of a WordPress dashboard hosted by a free WordPress hosting site called Altervista.  Altervista has several advantages.  In addition to being free, it is comparable to paid hosting, free monetization is already built-in ~ just click Lets Earn ~ it is set and forget easy, and Altevista has some unique themes which I will be installing in a moment.  To the best of my knowledge, Altervista offers all the themes so you are not limited in your choices.  

Go to your WP dashboard, click Appearance in the left column, then click Themes.  

Choose the theme you like.  If there is a particular theme that you want, use the search box to find it. 

What you are looking for in a theme is the layout, all the images and all the text are 'placeholders'.  I chose the one at the top left because I prefer 3 and 4 columns.  When you choose a theme, it is going to be your HOME Page.  In my opinion, a pictorial overview of your recent posts gives your visitors a better feel for what your site is about, as well as helping to lower your bounce rate. 

TIP:  Add a featured image to all your posts and pages. 

Click on Featured Image on the right column of your page or post and add an image.  If you need an image, free sites, such as Pexels and Pixaby have millions of free images to choose from. The image you choose is the image that will show up on your home page, so you want to choose images that grab attention, yet are relative.

When you have decided on the theme that you want, click Activate.

Then, click on Customize.  You will see something like you are seeing above, which is the overall layout.  On the left column, are the controls to help you to customize.  The sample page that you see above will automatically show the most recent articles and posts, which is what I want, but you also have the option to set up a static page.  

Choosing a theme is as easy as finding what you want and hitting Activate.

Customizing is easier than you think, simply go down the left column, one step at a time.  

Thank you for reading.

Much success,

PS.  A free WordPress site from Altervista is the real deal, you will love it.  A free WP site from WP falls short, there are too many limits and restrictions and Altervista has no watermark.  It is altervista dot org.

Hi All!  I am George Pierce. If you are considering a WordPress site, I will be sharing a new WP build.  Above is the shell.  So where do I begin, where do you begin...Where do we begin? 

The Original WP Site was not working.

We need a WP site.  The site was initially going to be built with AIOP.  For some reason, WP was not working.  The site was there but admin was not working, no admin access means that I was unable to build, edit, add pages, and so on.  I submitted a ticket, and then I went to Altervista, which provides a free WP site that is as good as any paid WP hosting.  The top image is hosted by Altervista.  The next image was an installation that failed.

The next step I suggest we take is to add what are called 'plug-ins'.  The essential plug-ins are for security, SEO, and page creation (site builder). There are over 60K plug-ins available.  

To add a plug-in, click on plug-ins on the left column of your WP dashboard, then on Add New, then type in the kind of plug-in that you are looking for, such as SEO or security.   The site above will be a membership site, WP has membership plugins;  You want a 'contact page', WP has contact forms.  WP has plug-ins for analytics, content automation,   social media sharing, HTML, e-commerce, simple pay, RSS and Social sites RSS, and so on. 

When you find the plug-in you want, click install, then activate.  With many plug-ins, that is it, with some, you may need to provide a few more details, for set up.  They are all user friendly, if there is more that is needed after you click activate, just follow the steps.  

Thank you for reading.

Hi All!  I am George Pierce.  This post is about The 3 C's, Commitment, Consistency, and Common Sense, and how they can help you to make money online.   Whatever online adventure you choose,  you want to back your choice up with commitment and add two more success ingredients. Consistency and Common Sense.  It does not take a genius to succeed at making money online, but it does take common sense and anyone willing to stick with it, has no choice but success.

Most, if not all, make-money-online opportunities are about creating content that your audience is interested in.  You post that content on the Internet which can be in textual, audio, and/or video format.  You monetize your content by getting readers and viewers to join your list, join your channel, become a member, click on ads or banners, go to your affiliates, buy your products, and so on.  The process is simple.

BUT 

Results do not usually happen overnight.

The following example is what I call a "sleeper".

I share this because this video took almost 8 months to get found.  The views that you see are all organic, all free.  I would like to say that I recently did something to bring this video to life...I did not. 

My point is that you may choose to embark on one of the best opportunities of your life (Making Money Online), but your expectations, which may have been misled, might be more like 8 hours or 8 days or 8 weeks rather than 8 months.  

An MMO venture can be life-changing, but you need to think in terms of months or years.  That means you will need the 3 C's.

The GOOD NEWS!

What happens when you incorporate the 3 C's is that your efforts accumulate and eventually snowball!  

When you first get started, not everything will go your way.  If your initial results were like mine, it will seem as if very little is going your way. Stay committed!  What they do not tell us is that there is a learning curve.  You will be learning all kinds of wonderful things, but it will take time for all that knowledge to begin to work, so give yourself time. 

Above is a counter from a single website page from a free website.   The page is about 2 years old...and the counter is only five digits.  It is like an old speedometer, that goes back to zero, each time it hits 100K.  All the traffic is free, and the actual count is 100,127.  

The bottom line is that the 3 C's work, and I am sure they can help you get results beyond what you imagined.

Thank you for reading.

Much success,

Hi All!  I am George Pierce.  To paraphrase Mark Twain, if you do things right, you will make some people happy and some will be shocked. If you are going to pursue making money online, affiliate marketing, video marketing, and so on, make a commitment to doing it and make a commitment to doing it right.  Doing it right does not mean perfection, it simply means being honest and transparent.  

I began my online marketing adventure with review sites and still do reviews.  Presently, I am in the process of creating a "Java Burn" review.  I am not done with my research, but every review site and review video, so far, is NOT a review, it is a sales page or a video sales letter that calls itself a review.  

There are negatives, even the best products are usually going to have a few negatives.  Yet none of the review sites and videos mention any negatives.  

Building trust will be a major component of your online success.  Omission is almost the same as a lie and certainly is a trust breaker.  

I believe that Java Burn may turn out to be a great product because the only negative feedback  I have found so far is at Trust Pilot.   With so many sales, if Java Burn were as bad as it looks at Trust Pilot, the Internet would be littered with many more complaints...that are not showing up.  Whatever I find, I will share it, and my readers and viewers will benefit from a review done right.

Thank you for reading.

Hello Everyone!  I am George Pierce.  This post is about a free online AI video maker that does it all.  All you need to do is to provide a title or a topic, and the software will do the rest.  You have the option to edit, but there is no need to.  The video maker creates the script, finds the video clips, and adds a life-like voice-over and background music. Talk about beginner-friendly!  

Say GOODBYE to your excuses for not creating videos!

You do not need 

• Video equipment 
• Video Editor
• To write a script
• To be on camera
• To do a voice-over
• To spend hours creating your videos

The free version is limited to 10 minutes per month and 4 exports a week.  For the average online business and many online ventures, this should be sufficient, at the least, it is a great way to get started.  

I have created one video (the software created), so far, it is the one below. 

This video, my first video creation using this software, was a double test!?? 

I wanted to see the software in action, and I also had a second secret agenda.  HUH?  The title for the video which is "Why Are You Gaining Weight?", is all that I provided.  Nothing else.  I have not edited the video content in any way.  The title (question)  is a trick question.  There are two recently discovered root causes of weight gain which are lack of sleep and stress, that is where the TEST came in.  In my opinion, if the video creator included these two root causes, the content creation side of the software would be excellent.  And, all I had to do was watch the finished video, in order to see how well the AI performed on the rest of the creation process.

I was AMAZED!  

This is the video, I believe you will be very impressed.

The free video creator is by Invideo ~ Invideo AI.  You will need to register or join to use the free software.  The software did all the creation.  As mentioned, I provided the title.  And I created a thumbnail.  You can create thumbnails for free with an online image creation site called CANVA. 

Whatever your niche, whatever your online venture, Invideo AI is worth checking out. It will help you to generate free traffic from sites such as YouTube and TikTok.  

Thank you for reading.

Much success,
