00:02:23 Rian: Great to be here! 00:03:40 Patricia Browne: LOL...I was just sitting thinking that I have way too much to do right this second - relaunch website to align with new books, new books to launch, and lead magnets to create Oh yeah AND I GOTTA PROMOTE IT! Oy...do I need some help 00:04:38 Patricia Browne: And part of it is "I am the only one who can do exactly what I need to do the way I need to do it" That attitude has got to go 00:05:08 gail brisco: so true we are our own worst critic especiallot after a big high.how do we top that? 00:05:55 Cindi Erickson: What was the name of the podcast? 00:06:06 Jen Perdew: Smart Links 00:06:06 Patricia Browne: Smartlist 00:06:13 Jen Perdew: Smartlist 00:06:13 Amy B: SmartList Cindi? 00:06:31 Linda Stirling: Under The Smart List 00:06:31 Cindi Erickson: Replying to "SmartList Cindi?" Thanks, Amy 00:06:34 Cindi Erickson: Replying to "SmartList Cindi?" Hi! 00:06:40 Bill McPeck: Shifting from but or either/or to both/and is shifting from a 16th century paradigm to a 21st century paradigm. 00:06:51 Kat Sturtz: Read an article about Daman and Afflect that discussed what David's talking about. Very interesting. 00:06:59 Amy B: Smartless. Just found it 00:07:55 Cindi Erickson: Reacted to "Smartless. Just foun..." with ❤️ 00:08:01 Cindi Erickson: Replying to "Smartless. Just foun..." Thanks! 00:09:34 Bill McPeck: Dealing with psychological funk is why we need to address mental health as opposed to just focusing on mental illness. Mental health today is usually just another term for mental illness. It generally does not include mental wellness. 00:09:55 Janet: Amen to that, Bill! 00:10:28 Amy B: Dads are safe! 00:12:09 Bill McPeck: Real coaches are safe too. Far too many coaches see themselves as educators and not really coaches. 00:14:29 gail brisco: and we tend to put more weight in our minds on the negative instead of the opposite, giving more weight to the psositive 00:14:37 Linda Stirling: Reacted to "and we tend to put m..." with 👍🏻 00:14:44 Pat Iyer: I have a podcast.

Just talking in my head 00:16:19 Bill McPeck: Negativity bias is hard wired into us for survival purposes. It is what keeps us alive. 00:17:25 Bill McPeck: Consumers are fickle. We all want the easy button and overlook the fundamentals. 00:17:33 Cindi Erickson: Time to pivot! 00:17:36 Kat Sturtz: I'm obviously in the minority in having zero interest in AI at this time. I "get" it. I can see how it can be useful, but I'm still not interested in using it myself at this time. 00:18:02 Lee Proctor: I'm actually loving AI...just learning where it fits. 00:18:06 Ruthanne Koyama: Will be interesting to see what happens if Canada bans ChatGPT when we (people here) work so closely with the US 00:18:09 Cindi Erickson: Reacted to "Will be interesting ..." with 👍 00:18:22 Patricia Browne: LOL...I spent part of the morning using ChatGPT to rewrite HTML. I had mad skills many years ago but having not use it for several years to really write code, I was struggling. Plug the damned thing into ChatGPT and voila! it's all fixed. Scared, not scared.... 00:18:23 Cindi Erickson: Reacted to "I'm actually loving ..." with 👍 00:19:53 gail brisco: if you share someone else's freebie, how are you credited when someone buys? 00:20:32 Patricia Browne: This is a brilliant idea! 00:21:31 Patricia Browne: Damn girl!!! That's fabulous! 00:21:52 Bill McPeck: It is amazing that so many people are threatened by AI. In my perspective, AI will make me a better expert in my field of employee wellbeing and healthy workplaces. It will free up my time to focus only what I can do, not what AI can do for me. 00:22:07 Linda Stirling: Reacted to "It is amazing that s..." with 👍🏻 00:22:13 Kat Sturtz: I snooze so many things in my inbox to read on the weekend or Thurs/Friday evening. 00:23:14 San Eve: I don't get it - about the cookie and affiliate program for say Alice Seba 00:23:54 Lee Proctor: Do you have a list of folks with lifetime affiliate programs? 00:23:58 Cindi Erickson: I've noticed in the past that you create links on the fly for affiliate products. How can you do that if it's a new affiliate for you? Don't you have to be approved? Just curious as I've seen you do this several times. 00:24:20 Kat Sturtz: Also aMember fan/user. 😊 00:25:08 Bill McPeck: Thanks Jen for sharing the 75% - 25% content split. 00:25:09 San Eve: Can you find most of these affiliate links in Amember? 00:25:10 Lee Proctor: Ahhhhh... 00:25:54 San Eve: Got it. 00:25:58 Kat Sturtz: aMember will install the program for you. 00:26:13 gail brisco: amember is both membership and affiliate program? 00:26:28 Lee Proctor: Awesome! 00:26:39 Kat Sturtz: aMember is a shopping cart, membership, affiliate program 00:26:44 Robert Bencivenga: What about using CPA networks to find appropriate affiliate programs? 00:26:54 Cathryn-The Wicker Woman®: What system are you on now? 00:27:05 San Eve: Any thoughts on Influencer Soft? 00:27:42 San Eve: That's okay. 00:29:18 San Eve: does Amember have a shopping cart like Amazon where you can pile up your basket then check out? Or is the cart related to the funnel? 00:29:19 Robert Bencivenga: Do affiliate programs allow you to capture the persons email? 00:29:31 Lee Proctor: Good point. 00:29:35 gail brisco: more like you can't afford NOT to have outsourcing 00:30:24 Patricia Browne: @Robert Bencivega..that's why you create a bridge page (a page between the click and sending it to the affiliate) so you can capture the lead 00:31:00 Robert Bencivenga: @Patricia Browne Thank You! 00:31:19 Cindi Erickson: Reacted to "@Robert Bencivega..t..." with 👍 00:33:48 gail brisco: @robert it depends on the platform. like for jvzoo, you can't capture the affiliate email automactically, but you can manually capture the affiliate emails before you approve it. once it's approved, you can't go back and get the email addres. Warrior plus recently stated allowing you to caputure the affiliate email address into your autoresponder, but it's currently not working for keap 00:34:12 Jennifer Marshall: Yay Amy!! 00:34:15 Bill McPeck: Congratulations Amy! 00:34:19 Amy B: Reacted to "Congratulations Amy!" with 🥳 00:34:23 Amy B: Reacted to "Yay Amy!!" with 🥳 00:34:25 Kim Stone: Go Amy!! 00:34:27 Cindi Erickson: Reacted to "Congratulations Amy!" with ❤️ 00:35:03 Amy B: I pay monthly for her to talk about me so nicely. 00:35:09 Amy B: Reacted to "Go Amy!!" with 🥰 00:35:12 Cindi Erickson: Reacted to "I pay monthly for he..." with 😂 00:35:15 Janet: Are you changing your name to Amyjen or Jenamy? 00:35:24 Robert Bencivenga: @gail brisco...Thank You.
