There are a few domain names I’ve always wanted, but someone else owns. If I’m lucky, and if the universe agrees, the current owner may decide to not to renew their registration, and I’ll be able to grab it when it falls back into general availability. Therefore, I’ve set up an alert/reminder (using my own Mautic software) to remind me to the check the ICANN WHOIS listings when the expiration date is near.

– generate text versions of all mautic e-course episodes
Always remember to design your sites and communication for people around the world who may NOT have the latest iphone or who may be viewing on a desktop, laptop or other method in which graphics are not supported (downloading graphics use bandwith and storage and cost money!)

DONE- set alert for next liver/gallstone flush

done- read grant requirements
Don’t tell anyone…it’s top secret, but I’m applying for a grant. Part of the reason is to recommend and explain this strategy as part of The Pandemicpreneur book. Since I never recommend anything I’ve not personally tried or experienced, I need to do this research to stay true to my brand and promise. I’ll share more if and when!

DONE- search how to post to multiple Facebook pages
With 84 Facebook pages to manage, I decided look once again into an efficient way to post these blog entries to multiple pages in one easy step. There’ve been many WordPress plug-ins that have accomplished this, but updates to Facebook’s system have rendered most of them ineffective.

– find free alternative for Explaindio

– re-apply for Facebook API permission
I’m creating an in-house PERL program to grab the number of followers on each of my Facebook pages and return a total. This requires obtaining “permission” from Facebook to access the info on their pages. I applied, but was denied since I didn’t provide a specific bit of information in the application. Have to re-apply.

Many do and mistake the symptoms as “normal” or “aging.”

DONE- create multiple book 3d image for AgelessAdept template (Mautic)

DONE- create multiple book 3d image for BestofSaipan template (Mautic)
Using GIMP–a free open source software that’s essentially Photoshop for free–and a free graphic I got from Covervault  (I used https://covervault.com/5-x-8-multi-paperback-book-presentation-mockup/) I created a few 3d-versions of my book covers to use in my mautic outgoing e-course emails as well as any other marketing.

 


Here’s the free Covervault template

 

Then, with a little importing, perspective stretching and duplication…

DONE- add Geopopup to thanks-for-subscribing page (International Marketing)
If you visit my thanks for subscribing page, you should see a section that asks you if you know anyone from a particular country. That country is based on your ip address. I creaed a perl program that grabs your IP address, then accesses a database to determine what country you’re in, then displays a customized message encouraging you to tell others in [your country] about my site!

DONE- upload new ip address lookup database for geopopup to reference (International Marketing)
This is the database I referenced above. The last time I used it for country-specific marketing was back in 2013, so I have to get a 2020 version of the database from here. https://lite.ip2location.com/ip2location-lite

– research Youtube Superchat (Youtube marketing)

DONE- add JIC (JamaicaninChina) book options to e-course template (Mautic)

– send DCA takedown notices to ebook download sites (Administration)
Every now and then, my Google Alert notifies me that an authorized copy of one of my books has been uploaded to a “free download” site, and is thus in violation of copyright laws and infringing on my copyright. There’s a process that authors can use to get such bootlegged copies removed. You submit a “DMCA Takedown Notice” (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) to the offending site, and by law, at least in theory, they are required to remove the copy from their website. I noticed such an infringement on one of my books, but haven’t gotten around to submitting the notice. Why am I not in a rush to do this? Well, it may seem counter-intuitive, but as I often explain in my Writer’s Workshops, sometimes the availability of a free digital edition actually increases sales of the physical edition.

– order from VitaminLife (Health)

– read up on sales funnels (Marketing)

This is from https://ready.mobi

Added the new website to my master list of all 52 websites I manage

done- add jamaicaninchina campaign form to jamaicaninchina.com blog (Mautic)
Now that I’ve created the first two episodes in the Jamaican in China campaign, I can now add the form to the jamaicaninchina.com blog so folks can subscribe and relive my adventures in China, Singapore, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam, Macau and Hong Kong. Seems I (and many other folks) may not be traveling for a while, so this may be the next best thing!

NOTE TO SELF: One of the things I need to start doing in my outgoing emails and blog posts is to warn people (and pandemicpreneurs of all strupes) of the danger of relying too heavily on platforms like Facebook and Twitter as the sole means of communicating with followers. Email is still at the moment a reliable fallback (and should even be the “Plan A”). Think about it from a marketers point of view. Even though I may have 1,000 people who follow my page on Facebook, I am not guaranteed that ANY of them will see my posts in their feed. If I wish to increase the “people reached” statistic on Facebook, I have to pay money to “boost” the post. Email, on the other hand, typically gets through to those to whom I send it (unless it ends up in a spam folder, but even then, it’s still retrievable). The other thing to consider is “what happens in a scenario in which Mr. Zuckerberg and/or any of his cronies fall out of favor with public sentiment, and people decide to boycott or “cancel” a social media platform?” All your social media contacts, and the means to reach them are “owned” by the platform.

As I always say, “any plan (or strategy) that relies on the actions, generosity, whim or largess of a single individual or entity for its progress from point a to point b is FLAWED plan!”
