    A fun email for Friday. I hope you enjoy!

    The CyberTruck buzz reminds me of the iPhone launch: 
    - Everyone thought it was partially stupid (no keyboard was a VERY big deal back then). 
    - It's so drastically different than the norm it felt like it could take over the world or totally flop.
    - At the same time, EVERYONE wanted to see one in person!

    Wisdom:

    Was on a phone call with @PaulYacoubian (CEO of Copy AI), he's recently started using a mechanical typewriter more often and found these benefits:

    "Each word comes with an effort penalty."

    "Everything that's in your brain comes out but with less words and less bloat."

    I do agree that there's something very pure about writing with no electricity. It inspired me to buy a bunch more of these "cow notebooks" to fill up with notes:

    Interesting:

    It was ChatGPT's 1st birthday yesterday!

    So ChatGPT is only 1 year old....

    This reminds me of the dawn of the internet:
    - At first it was fringe and hard to use (GPT-3).
    - Then it became pretty good and useful (GPT-4).
    - Then it became very easy to use (ChatGPT).
    - Then it became SUPER easy with mobile phones it took over the entire world (???).

    The future of people working with their brains will become very interesting.

    Picture:

    Me and some friends went to a "Game Show Birthday" where you compete on different games:

    I think this video would better explain it:

    It was actually REALLY FUN and highly recommended!

    Essay:

    In November 2023 these are the number of accounts reached from each tentacle of Copywriting Course:


    • YouTube: 124,000
    • CopywritingCourse.com: 87,922
    • SwipeFile.com: 42,517
    • Instagram: 51,000
    • TikTok: 258,000
    • Email: 58,650
    Total: 622,089

    I have noticed social media is faaaarrr eclipsing organic SEO.

    I'm not 100% sure yet, but I THINK I have a plan to reverse that in 2024 where reliance on social platforms is decreased.

    Our community is so fun and awesome, and I want to expand it (without ruining the good vibe).

    These are better than drugs...

    One of my all-time favorite products on the planet are: Soft ear plugs!

    I use them to sleep every night, and I use them to get deep focused work done.

    I keep a pair in my bedroom, my desk, and my laptop bag.

    I re-use each pair many times but they are essentially disposable.

    I can use basically any old ear plugs for a while, but if you wear them all the time some brands hurt your ears. These also block 32 decibels of sound.

    I like this brand because they're "softer" than traditional ear plugs.

    Maybe these would be a cool stocking stuff for someone you know! I use these things every single day and love them 🙂

    I hope you enjoyed these Friday tid-bits!

    I have used ear plugs to focus and sleep for over 20 years. I like the silicone ones sold for kids swimming. They are softer and never hurt your ears. I use them over and over again until they have shrunk and become too small.

    Oh yeah lots of people have recommended those! I've never got around to trying them because I love these foam ones so much 🙂
