Yep, I’ve stumbled on a new way to market books, but first, you have to try to understand that the #shorts are what make this world go around at the moment.
#shorts get the crowd, get plenty of views, far more than ordinary landscape videos, and surely more than the over-sixty-seconds group of videos, which is most of them. Continue reading
Here are some real zingers, that I intend to use in my comedy run of #shorts on youtube. Each joke gets its own #short, of course. That way, I get more Clicks, which is the whole point, to build up the channel, grow the response list and get more subscriptions.
In a way, that mirrors the Great Work. Actually, it IS the Great Work. The whole idea behind my #shorts Work Campaign is that youtube is in desperate ambition to utterly destroy tiktok, so they tend to back any creator who comes up with shorts — it’s only been three months since they kicked off this strategy of having their own brand of short videos.

Your total job is to make people aware of our Work. Period. How you do this is entirely up to you and to the luck of the draw which creates your specific place in the world.
One way to make people aware of the Work is to put them right into it, and one of the best ways to do this is to introduce them to the world of spiritual gaming.
Okay, let’s say that you have in your hands the world’s best, most amazing, astounding, incredible and fantastic video game and that playing this game offers a PORTAL into the spirit world, and you can prove it and you have thousands of testimonials testifying to that fact.
You have in your virtual hands the Perfect Spiritual Video Game. But there’s a problem. Nobody wants to even LOOK at it, let alone download it and play it and join a LIVE community of avid players and tell all their friends about it on twitter and facebook and instagram and all those other social media networks.
Yes, you have it right there in front of you, and nobody wants to play your stupid game. So what are ya gonna do? Where will you go? What will you do?
Frankly, my dear, no one gives a damn. Continue reading
Like America, goddgames.com is back — with a vengeance. We’re taking the 21st century challenge, producing games with a difference.
The look is retro — that’s not a misteak. We like the retro look of our engine, and we work hard to make it function as well as any modern engine, but to LOOK like an engine that’s about thirty years old. The porch could use some dusting.
All the lessons we learned in miniature railway layouts led to the look we’ve achieved in our video games, and we cherish that look and strive to maintain it in the face of widespread indifference. Our games are all produced with one idea in mind — Good Gaming. That’s the entire goal, the whole purpose, the entire plan, so let me roll out six of our hottest back titles first, to let you in on what’s happening here: Continue reading
Mwahahahahaaaahaa! That’s a jungle-ish sound made by Tarzan when he has had a stunning realization or a big win over a dead lion.
With me, it’s the former. I just did something that I didn’t think was possible — I promoted an item, a game download page in fact, that delivers “SlimeWars” in a playable package for only $6.95 — but how to market it for no money down, no payments, ever??? Continue reading
Dear Sir or Madam,
You were chosen to represent my book, “The American Book of the Dead”. I am already a famous author — check me out on google to verify this — and at the age of 79, I want to “pay back” society for my continued good fortune and high-volume book sales.
I have appeared at many author’s awards ceremonies and onstage with many of my co-writing friends, such as Ray Bradbury, Frank Herbert, Isaac Asimov and Robert Heinlein, and photos abound of me with many hundreds of other celebrities.
The American Book of the Dead has already sold well over a million copies, and is often found in university libraries. I have delivered lectures on the subject on panels with Dr. Claudio Naranjo, Dr. Timothy Leary, Dr. John C. Lilly, Venerable Thich Thien-An, Tarthang Tulku, Rinpoche, Ven. Chogyam Trungpa, Robert Anton Wilson, Robert de Ropp and many others, and in fact, we publish some of their books and produce tape recordings that feature us onstage together.
The American Book of the Dead appeals to a wide audience, and you should have no trouble finding traffic that’s looking for this popular and readable volume.
I’m a big fan of marketing, although I stay strictly in the creative area myself, and I’m actively looking to help deserving youngsters like yourself, and that’s why I’m allowing myself some time to work on this project.
Looking forward to working with you, I remain yours truly,

Here are some good “target urls” that could be made into landing pages, selling pages, productive pages.
ask hives — This could be made into a gallery where you could buy signed and numbered prints on fine art paper, at a mere $50 apiece, for instance, for the small ones — 5″x7″ — and more for larger prints, of course. An enterprising person could add framing, which is where all the profit is in print dealing. You’ll sell anything just to get the framing job, and that’s a great side-hustle in itself.

If you want to promote a book, use the sales page as your target, or “landing” page. These people are NOT verified by me as good, effective or reliable, but I will test them and report back to you on results.
The first on the list, although not necessarily better than the others, is “pronomics”, which promises an interview on iHeart radio — you can listen for yourself to see if if meets your expectations, but the real test is, “did you sell any books???”.
The result of any sales campaign should be checkable by reviewing the increase in sales during the campaign. Continue reading
If you didn’t understand a word of that title — shit, gold or dope — you’re not alone. You have plenty of company in your fellow baby boomers, and you’d be totally lost in the Brave New World of social media and 21st century marketing, which is very social, if you get my meaning, but the sociality is 100% artificial, like the life.
In short, you don’t speak the language anymore, dude. You’re utterly clueless in a world of swiping thumbs and shorthand text-style speech. You don’t know how to cope with a world that’s all masked up and socially distanced.
So you need to hire somebody to help you get your stuff out there. You can’t do it with what you’ve always done. It don’t work no more, and Windows 10 is your enemy. Continue reading
Here are some suggestions for “target landing pages” that should and could be heavily marketed and would produce good results for us:
