Whaaat? 28°?? Ugh, that's so warm/hot😱😱😳 But aww, animals!😍🤩😍
Nope, my ability to commit to anything for a longer period of time is restricted to READING fanfiction only, anything else my mind will get frustrated with in a few weeks at most😂 PLUS (main reason) I don't like the way it turns out whenever I actually try to write it and since that 7 year headcanon is half-made of what feels like my last remaining pieces of soul, I won't write it, I can't bring it justice😫
...LW's right, you ARE kinda evil...😫🙈 Hmm, well, concerning ideas I once had one where a villain shows up who is trying to rewrite/destroy time&fate and the Superfriends+Legion try to stop them but one of the villains turns out to be a Mon-El from even farther in the future (like, so far, no one would be able to tell how old he is anymore) who'd snapped (uhh, imagine a really really crazy version of Kai Parker?) and is intend on destroying the chains of time (and has already destroyed MANY worlds). Kara etc think they have captured him (not really, he's just bidding his time) when the Superfriends(-Kara) from the point in time when he first snapped show up. They explain how the evil!Mon snapped: Something happened that ended with Kara dying in his arms and since non of them could accept her death, they decided to send someone (which ended up Mon, cause he's the most suitable) back in time to save her, which failed, them again and again until one day he DIDN'T return to their time. His mental health was already deteriotating after Kara's death (even worse, her last words were she loved him but she never got to finish that sentence... I may have watched too much Tsubasa Chronicle when I came up with this mess🙈) and failing again and again made it worse to the point he decided that if the universe was so set on killing her, he'd just kill the universe back. And with time he just his feelings off because it hurt too much🤷🏻‍♀️ (Oh, and he may have absorbed a sun or so to grow more powerful to save her which might not have helped his mental stability either and kinda made him age even slower, etc). Soo, basically his Love for Kara and the Superfriends not caring about how he feels (...Is it obvious I'm bitter about that?) and pushing him made him snap... I hadn't really thought farther than that, but he'd definitely be deliberately cruel while the good Mon is ashamed and feels guilty...And Kara's heartbroken and angry about what they "did" to the Love of her Life... Blabla they try to get evil!Mon to see the light, keep failing, they notice he still has the necklace, Kara's all "If you no longer care about me, why are you still wearing the necklace" stuff happens and his version of the necklace gets destroyed (not sure if he does it or another villain) and the stone (which I still think has some kind of mind connecting or memory storing ability) breaks, offering one last memory of his Kara telling him she loves him no matter what which finally egts though to evil!Mon and kinda causes a mental breakdown for him and Uhhh..  Haven't thought too much about it, but it'd probably end with him helping the present and future Superfriends and Legion, manipulating time energy (that's a whole other headcanon I have, but I won't start on this now or this will get even longer than it already is) and kinda rewriting the future into one where Kara doesn't die but that destroys him and he fades away while cradling the broken pieces of his necklace in his hand as present!Kara holds him... But Hey, present Kara and Mon end up happily married with Kids Thanks to him🙈 Well, Yeah, that's about it (Lol, I'm really rubbish at keeping things short or explaining sth in a way that is NOT probably very confusing😅) NOW YOU!
Oh god...Who the heck came up with that Language and thought all of that was a good idea?😳😳
Nooo! My clones should do the cool stuff too! Like learn to play different instruments, speak all languages, drawing, writing, all kinds of stuff!🤣😍🙈
Wait, what idea?😳 What Karamel fic idea??😳😳😳😳
Ohh, right, in that universe I might like her🤔 She seemed fun in the bit you wrote and uploaded😁
HAHAHAHAHA 😂😂  #LWgoTOsleepSQUAD
XXXX
YES! And I saw most of teh animals i wanted, dolphins, lions, leopard, elephants and a lot of antelopes. Anyway, I'm super happy :D
Well, that's the pain of being a writer, I guess? You will never do the justice, but I think I know what you are talking about. That's why I'm not going to write that 243 ideas of fics I have, becasue I'm too dumb.
I am. Like, obviously.
But you are too, my friend. Holy crap, poor Mon-El. so his old, tortured, miserable self would die in the end? Like? How could you?
And... are there single km or Mon's fan that is not bitter about how he was treated? I mean, Alex treated Kara as shit and never really apologized for her shit and they are still seen as purrrfect sisters *rolls eyes* but i think we already talked about it. As for Superfriends, remember how J'onn told him to not reveal his true feelings for Kara? SpaceDad? WTF? Brainiac? WTF? Alex being a bitch? WTF? Only our son Winn understood his job, geez. I'm going to be bitter about it all forever too, so high five.
Dunno, Hungarians? xD
Gurl, have you ever seen or read stroies about people and their clones? None ends good xD
What fic idea? This of course! "(Well, I'd just kidnap Kara to the future to be happy with Mon and their bestie Winn, cause the present sucks...Well, maybe grab her parents-all three of them- as well, And send them with her, cause kids need grandparents, right?)"
So, I guess I owe you an idea, huh.
Sapce opera one, divided in 3 parts.
First called Shreds of Honour.
Daxam being the kind of autoritarian so called democratic space republic that would connect a lot of worlds (with all some horrible Security Service investigating everyone, brainwashing and horrible people at power - you know, the typical stuff). Also, Daxam being just a part of it - imagine Soviet Union in space and Daxam not being the big Brother but some satelite, known for having the best soldiers. While Krypton being dunno, probably a normal looking democracy with issues.
Daxam and Krypton being at war for years *sad violin music*
Kara, is engaged to some love of her life, but is also a fresh second in command on Kryptonian battle ship (captain - Space Dad, of course), there was a battle, they lost and were captured by Daxamites and on a vessel that was going to take them to a planet-camp.The camps being a really bad places.
But. Some pirates attack the vessels with prisoners and want to naval boarding them, to get slaves (yep, in the future things are still this bad). Pirates in general are known of being even worse than Daxamites and soldiers from The Future Soviet Union.
The Daxamite soldeirs on Kara's vessel resisted the first attack but had a lot of casualties and it was obvious that they can't survive the next attack.
So, a Daxamite officer in command (all soldiers having helmets on their heads), goes to J'onn and other Krypotonians and asks for help. He will give them guns to defend the vessel.
J'onn asks, why.
After some seconds of hesitation, the soldeir takes the helmet off and it's Mon-El. The krypotnians are surprised he is so young, but it seems all older soldiers were KIA.
He explains that the captivity in The Soviet Union is awful but still they have hope to be released one day, while if the the pirates capture them, they all will end as slaves, women sells as whores etc.
So, the Kryptonians agree, they get the guns and they defend themsleves.
But. when the FSU (Future Soviet Union) executives come they are not pleased, becasue it would be better to die than giving guns to Kryptonians aka they treat him as a traitor. Mon-El is downgraded and becasue he became Krypotnians friends, he is sent as their guard to the camp.
Some things happen, there is a lot of bias between them etc. Also, he needs to keep a face and be wary of other guards, he knows he is basically fucked and his career and probably life is over etc. but they sometimes talks, and became maybe not friends but people who respect each other.
And then i have two plots I fantasized about.
First is, some big FSU fish comes for inspection. Before, on some assembly or something, Kara does something and Mon-El hits her face with a gun and orders to shave her haid as punishment. She of course feels betrayed.
But on the inspection, the FSU dude comes (he is a typical human swine) and walks around the prisoners and chooses some females - of course all, pretty, young and blonde. He stops in front of Kara, ogles her, but when he sees her swollen face and shaved head he leaves her alone. The other women he chose are taken away.
Later, the women came back in horrible phsyical and mental shape, and you can imagine what they have done to them. And that's how Kara realizes Mon-el saved her from it.
The other plot is, that J'onn falls ill and the camp doctor refuses to give him a medicine that could save his life. The doc wants something in return but they have nothing to exchange.
So, Kara decides to go to Mon-El and well, exchanges herself for the medicne (all other guards have their prisoners partners and all people and executives know it, but keep a blind eye for it. The prisoners who decide to do it are privileged, have access to more food, some goods etc but are seen as traitors by the other prisoners). Kara knows Mon-el likes her, so she goes to his place and explains the whole situation. He just stares at her, says to stay and leaves. After some time he comes back with the medicine and orders her in harsh words to leave. J'onn is saved and other prisoners think that she became a whore and a traitor. The next time she needs soemthing she comes, he gives her but when she refuses to leave without nothing, becasue she doesn't want to be in debt, he sighs and says he wants to plays chess. She blinks and says she can't, so he teaches her and they spend some nights like that (while all people assuming other stuff is happening).
And well, after some time they seriously fall in love, sparks flly, love making happen, a lot of conversation about their lives, their societies, but not future, becasue they both know they are as good as dead.
But he starts to plot how to save her, but she refuses to leave her crew and him. So agrees and involves other people.
But a day before their plan, he is taken out of the planet by the Security Service, but the plan goes on and they are saved.
Kara is heartbroken but on the vessel that saved them, she realizes she is pregnant.
When they came back, on the first day she goes to her fiance, they have sex, so her child won't be labelled as half Daxamite. Also, she is sure Mon-El was tortured and killed.
The end of part one. Want to hear about the next one? :P

My 10 wildlife and photography highlights of 2020 blogs: Blog 4-My year of butterflies (with mentions of other insects and flowers) Part 1
Complete housekeeping from the offset in that I began this year in these blogs as any other with one post for the highlights of my butterfly year with mentions of dragonflies, damselflies, moths and this year beetles and flowers I’d seen in places too this year more than ever for the latter. It became so long and like a dairy format charting days of lockdown and working from home, which was important in examining my year. So I let this blog run until my week off work in late June, then with the pandemic creating some spare slots this year in the thread my sixth of these highlights posts on Wednesday is a continuation mentioning butterflies and the above add-ons if you like notable experiences after that point. This post in the paragraphs below has the general sum up of my butterfly year and the next one is just pure diary of notable experiences from the summer onwards and the usual season winding down type things.
I am going to be quite honest with you and say I wrote this bit of the blog in March during the lockdown because of coronavirus, I have used time as I often do at this time of year so early on to start writing bits of these blogs and getting structures together for them to chart how the rest of the year unfolds. I had had some butterfly action to write about already. Unlike the bird highlights post I started writing the day before when no matter what happened with the virus I’d already had a pretty brilliant three months of birding to tide me over for the whole year, I currently have no idea what kind of butterfly year I’ll have due to Covid – 19 enforced restrictions. But what I can hand on heart say right now which will ring true in December, is this was definitely a memorable and different year of butterflies for me! Sticking to the figures though, I saw 43 species of butterfly in 2020 my second highest ever amount in a year after last year and just ahead of 2018 so actually in the end I did pretty well! I did manage to still luckily see quite a few butterflies during lockdown in great bits of weather, continuing when lockdown eased bit by bit when we could go to see species at further afield locations and it helped me a lot as I express below and a lot in my second butterflies.
Perhaps this year especially in the first lockdown due to seeing them outside the New Forest where I usually would I ended up mentioning seeing other insects quite a few times in this post, but talking about moths, dragon/damselflies etc. sort of relates still so it’s a bit longer than usual I’m afraid but does have butterflies as its main focus. This was an important year for these insects for me as 10 years since I saw and photographed a Silver-washed Fritillary at Bolderwood in the New Forest and said I’d like to know what species it is which sparked my whole interest and passion for butterflies. The trusty butterfly ID book I got that year to learn them from included moths which I dipped into then as I have since and it paved the way for me to take notice of the different dragon and damselflies too so it was a nice milestone a decade.
My butterfly year started in a similar manner to 2018 (the famous – for me – butterfly year where I saw one in the winter before bad weather came and I had a slower start but my season boomed over a hot summer) in that I saw an overwintering species on a sunny day just before storms Ciara and Dennis and that really bad patch of weather hit when I saw a Peacock butterfly dart past me on a sunny day at Toyd Down when that day we went to nearby butterfly haven for us Martin Down too in early February one of my most memorable days this year as I talked about in bird edition of these highlight posts. Date wise it was my second earliest ever first butterfly sighting in a year a theme that would trickle throughout my butterfly and insect year. Everyone noticed this really with a hot spring meaning every butterfly species emerged so early, the summer ones in particular came out around a month earlier which I noticed a lot, and the whole season seemed to be a month ahead which was both fascinating and concerning of the impacts of climate change.
After that the lull came and it wasn’t until the penultimate weekend of March I saw a butterfly again a Brimstone on a verge on the M27 on the way to Fort Cumberland my last regular weekend trip out before the Prime Minister announced the first lockdown. The week that followed was that butterfly awakening moment I always have in the early spring as we had a long patch of really sunny and quite warm in places weather and they came out on mass. Butterflies dominated my once daily allowed walk out to exercise over Lakeside and nearby areas with so many seen of four species. I saw my more Brimstones, my first Small Tortoiseshell and Small White of the year and more Peacocks. I took the first picture in this photoset of a Small Tortoiseshell near Lakeside and second of a Peacock in Lakeside that week. The Small Tortoiseshell made personal history for me as after months of practicing on flowers and plants etc. with my new macro lens my birthday present my main macro subject is butterflies I longed to use it on a butterfly and this was my first butterfly picture produced with my new macro lens as I felt the thrill of the chase of trying to photograph butterflies again to herald a new era for me which excited me very much and I very happy with how good this macro lens is. It gives me detail I have found astonishing when taking the pictures. Seeing the butterflies on these walks and just the walks in general really kept me going during the early parts of the lockdown and my spirits up. As did taking flower and blossom pictures in what was I thought a strong year for me for taking pictures of sights and signs of spring subjects in sunny and cloudy conditions from February onwards with probably my best ever set of blossom pictures and biggest variety of flower pictures in a year taken this year with my new macro lens very useful for flower pictures firstly I practiced it on them ready for butterflies but then was interested enough to photograph them alongside butterflies a lot which felt pivotal in my macro photography part of my hobby and as I chart in these two butterfly highlights posts especially this paved the way for me to learn flowers lots this year. It was a nice opportunity just to observe what was around me on the walks and in the gardens seeing birds, butterflies, bees (which I also saw well throughout the year) and many great flowers and local views. I gained to some extent a greater sense of appreciation for the little and simple things in nature all around me during the lockdown. I got so used to and thoroughly enjoyed Lakeside lunch time and when restrictions eased a bit evenings too sometimes walks I missed them or certain parts of them when rain or something hindered me doing them on a day. It’s amazing how many of the butterflies I saw for the first time in 2020 over my local country park Lakeside some I wouldn’t normally see here too so like with bird year ticks I got there it made me appreciate just how much is about on my local site being there daily. In 2018 this highlights blog in that year’s thread about butterflies reflected the stark weather extremes and how it impacted my year a key theme of my 2018 more than most of the blogs and this year it does the same for the coronavirus and this period of time where I worked from home early on and we were in lockdown is a definitive stretch of my 2020 so impacted my hobby massively.
The weekend after that week on a sunny and very warm daily exercise walk by the river Itchen I was delighted to see more Peacocks, Brimstones, Small Whites and my first Comma and female Orange Tips of the year. These were key first sightings of 2020 in a classic spring walk for me where I saw so many birds and butterflies and my first Swallow of the year too really lifting my spirts over that time. The next day I saw my first Speckled Wood of the year and many other butterflies mostly Small Tortoiseshell at Lakeside. During the following week I saw my first Large White of the year over Lakeside during daily exercise putting me on a pretty healthy 8 butterflies for the year at that stage given it was nearly three weeks into the lockdown so the butterflies began really emerging from the lockdown onwards but as I said at the time it came at the right time in a way as the ones emerging obviously were the early/all season butterflies which are the common ones and ones I did not have to travel to see. On Good Friday that week on a hot and sunny daily exercise walk at local Stoke Park Wood I saw six butterfly species, my first Holly Blue of the year and first male Orange Tip of 2020 both seen for an extended period the highlights as the butterfly season continued to blossom at that stage. On Easter Saturday a very hot walk at Hut Wood contained many more Peacocks seen and other butterflies most notably a male Orange Tip we saw fly by. Hut Wood was somewhere I’d never been before that day but during the lockdown 1.0 we relied on this beautiful and precious patch, hidden away in an urban area really, a lot for daily exercise walks and saw brilliant wildlife and views all round along the way on various walks a very key place for us to still get out as we safely could in that period. On Easter Sunday I saw some more butterflies beside the River Itchen with male and female Orange Tip the stars as well as Small White and Small Tortoiseshell. Even with the sun in and out somewhat and temperatures lower it seemed on Easter Monday where we went to Lakeside for daily exercise I saw a nice Speckled Wood flying. A key event in my Easter weekend too was seeing the tree visible from my room out the back in a neighbouring garden blossom really rapidly in hot weather. There was literally more blossom on it and in greater blossom every time I looked even within one day I noticed the difference on the Good Friday. This set the tone for me to enjoy this tree and notice it in glorious green all summer and into the autumn after the blossom was gone. Nice for a tree I first ever noticed in its red autumnal colour. I took the third picture in this photoset of another Speckled Wood at Lakeside the next day which was also very sunny during daily exercise. The day after that I got more great butterfly views at Lakeside of a few species especially of Holly Blue and nice bright views of male Orange Tips flying some of my best views of them this year in another strong spring for me for them and I also saw my first Large Red Damselfly of the year on that walk my first dragonfly or damselfly seen this year and my earliest ever sighting of the species in a year.
In mid-April on a Sunday daily exercise walk at a hot, sunny and yellow cowslip covered Magdalen Hill I had a wonderful and standout day of watching and photographing butterflies with me hitting some butterfly form with my new macro lens as such. We saw seven species of butterfly that day a high at that stage in the year, including my first Red Admirals and Green Hairstreak this year the former a relief I waited a little longer to see my first Red Admiral this year again and the latter quite the surprise as my earliest ever sighting of one in a year my first ever April sighting of one a special species I thought I may miss due to the virus. We got cracking views of it, the Red Admirals which I took the fourth picture in this photoset of one that day and the other species on that walk; many male Orange Tips, Holly Blue, Peacock, Comma and Brimstone including three flying together in the air which stood out as a memorable image in my head from the walk. The Green Hairstreak sighting was one of my moments of the year and I took one of my favourite photos this year and ever of it, an early strong one with my new macro lens and all the detail it brings of a butterfly what I mostly have a macro for so it was quite magical. Back on a weekday Lakeside daily exercise lunch time walk that following week I saw my next butterfly species this year when I stumbled across a beautiful Small Copper in a grassland area and watched it for a bit. Whilst I had seen them here before this was another surprise sighting for me really and another that was my earliest ever of the species. I was relieved also to see it as it was one I often see at locations we couldn’t go during the lockdown. Just like my first Common Tern of the year that I saw on the same walk that day it was a species that is common but that I don’t often see so locally that it showed me this day it is here locally and during the lockdown when I could look really close at what is immediately around me I saw what remarkable species are there and its one positive I took out of this difficult time for us all. That Friday that followed I finally saw a more common species that I’d been hoping to see all that week on exercise walks when I saw my first Green-veined White of the spring in another Lakeside daily exercise walk as well as some more Orange Tips very well. That was the last early common one I needed to see so brought a great sense of satisfaction. On that day it made my butterfly year list my joint second highest ever on that date compared to previous lists of mine on that date only one behind last year which was my highest ever butterfly year list total so it showed how the immense sunny and quite hot weather that we had during the lockdown helped me make a solid start to my butterfly year list during exercise walks.
The count of butterfly species in a day was higher still during a daily exercise walk the following Sunday the last of April on a very hot, sunny and memorable afternoon at Farley Mount. I saw my first Grizzled Skipper, Small Heath and Dingy Skippers of 2020 which was great the first two my earliest ever sightings of them in a year and also first I’d ever seen in April. It took my year list to 16 my highest ever amount on that date in a year. Other notable butterflies seen that walk included another Green Hairstreak just hanging on a tree something I really miss days I could see that now and for me that is spring and Red Admiral and more Orange Tips. The following Friday I finally got my first Orange Tip picture for just under five years the fifth of my pictures in this photoset when I saw a couple, and a Green-veined White very closely and so much more wildlife on a particularly memorable day where I took many photos too as I did a daily exercise walk over Lakeside. I had really been hoping for and trying to capture a rarely landing Orange Tip with the camera after a brilliant spring for them this year just like last year with how many I saw. I was glad I could achieve this. This year was the year to do it. I also reflected this day how I hadn’t ever seen one at the local for me Lakeside before this year and I didn’t really think Orange Tips one of my favourite butterflies would be about here but I frequently saw them along this path on the north of the site this year with great bits of vegetation for them. So it was one positive thing to come from the lockdown that I now know I have these species very close to me in the appropriate season and I had a feeling about that across the board that lockdown taught me just what amazing wildlife is on my doorstep so was a positive to take from this defining and difficult period of 2020. And it may change how and where I do and see things in years to come now.
On a visit to Bentley Wood in early May I was delighted to see my first Pearl-bordered Fritillaries of the year flitting around at various parts of the area we walked in decent numbers. My earliest ever sighting in a year of this one of our most precious and delicate butterfly species and one I always look forward to looking for in May. That day I also saw my first dragonflies of the year in the form of Broad-bodied Chasers both male and some females which was lovely on a sunny day, this also my earliest ever sighting of the species in a year. The following Wednesday I was delighted to see Orange Tip and see and photograph Small Copper flying past the house and on the grassy area outside the house respectively, the closest I’d ever seen both these brilliant species to home. At Lakeside on that walk it was also very nice to see a beautiful and so well coloured Swollen-thighed Beetle on an oxeye daisy and photograph it on the flower. One of the key species I learned in terms of beetles in my best ever year for them. The next day I saw a Small Heath at Lakeside not one I often see there but did loads this year, I photographed one here the following Tuesday the seventh picture in this photoset I had a good year for these I thought. The day after that the VE Day bank holiday Friday I saw Small Heaths in great numbers at Magdalen Hill during a daily exercise walk nice to see so many flitting around the grasses as well as yet more Green Hairstreaks in my best ever spring for them probably. Brimstone, Green-veined White, Small Tortoiseshell and views of Whitethroat bird wise also stood out on that very hot for May and sunny walk that day. On another very hot and sunny day at Hut Wood the following day I was pleased to see Brimstones with three males chasing a female all flying together in a long line which looked great and more of them, Peacock, Holly Blues and my first Beautiful Demoiselles of the year my second earliest ever sighting of one in a year. The day further became about different things for us to see and the little things of nature as we enjoyed views of lots of lovely Green Tiger Beetles flying and moving around, nice to see them again after a Studland in Dorset sighting of them in 2013 I have always liked them since and it came at a great time as I showed great interest in beetles those few days after the Swollen-thighed and I’d put together a list of all the identified ones I’d ever seen. I took the sixth picture in this photoset of one of the Green Tiger beetles that day. My first Foxgloves of the year and a slow worm on the path seen also stood out that day. That night a pretty Small dusty wave moth flew into our house which I photographed. The next day a grey one at Stockbridge Down the walk was rather lit up by a Common Blue flying by and landing, yet another butterfly year tick that was my earliest ever sighting of one in a year, a nice milestone butterfly that puts you into the mind that summer is near. On some cloudy days or cloudy parts of days around that time I still saw butterflies happily quite active so it showed the real peak of the season was around the corner where butterflies would be active not just on the sunny days.
On a sunny and cloudy in places Friday 15th May I had a brilliant lunch time Lakeside walk when I finally, for a third year running still quite notable at this very local site for me, saw the Brown Argus my first this year I had been looking for on exercise walks there all week. I spent a treasured few moments with this stunning species which I personally have a lot of admiration for in the “Marbled White meadow” area a bit of rich butterfly, flower and insect generally grassland I nickname in the park. Green-veined White, Small Heath and Speckled Wood were also about that day. On the walk to Lakeside I did spot my first Common Blue Damselfly of the year too that day, my earliest ever sighting of one in a year the Brown Argus was my second earliest sighting of one in a year after last year. I saw the Brown Argus again the following Wednesday and following an evening and morning watching four of them in this field area in early March I got a magical natural moment that hot and sunny day seeing a Roe Deer’s face right beside me peering out of lush and dense vegetation. The day after Friday 15th after the lockdown restrictions had their first easing in May we managed to do our under threat yearly pilgrimage to Noar Hill in the South Downs. Here we were very fortunate to get to see about 5-6 of its main star the Duke of Burgundy. This made me extremely happy and it was a true honour to once again get to see one of our rarest and absolutely most beautiful butterflies and enjoy such special moments with them. One of my butterfly moments of the year as always. I also saw my first Small Blue of the year that day and Dingy Skipper, Orange Tip, many Small Heaths, my first Five-spot burnet moth of the year and a Swollen-thighed Beetle again on a buttercup a very successful and memorable walk. The next day I saw two equally as breathtaking species for the first time in 2020, Adonis Blue and Marsh Fritillary on a walk at Martin Down. These two were massive standout butterflies of my year I was so pleased to get to see this year on a standout day which included top bird sightings too. I was so fortunate as I mention in other highlights posts this year too to get to enjoy Martin Down on the edge of the county so much this year through the spring and summer and even slightly into autumn. I also saw so many other butterfly species that day including Small Copper, Green Hairstreak, Orange Tip, Small and Common Blues, Grizzled and Dingy Skippers as well as my first Cinnabar moth of the year.
At Lakeside on a scorching and sunny 21st May walk I found a lovely little watery, reedbed and boggy spot where I enjoyed views of Broad-bodied Chaser, Common Blue Damselfly, Large Red Damselfly and as I was transfixed on watching these a Blue-tailed Damselfly appeared my first of the year the second earliest first sighting in a year I’d ever had of one of them. The next day I was lucky enough to see Common Blue damselflies mating I really got close and fascinating views of that and all the little movements which was a special spring moment I took a macro picture, and see and photograph another Large Red Damselfly along the path I saw the one in April in more habitat teeming with damselflies. I got a second Marsh Fritillary fix at Bentley Wood on second May bank holiday Monday when we saw a good few there in a field and very closely too. I had never seen any here before so it was the first time I’d seen any outside of Martin Down whilst I always love seeing them and everything there which was great I loved seeing them again. That day at Bentley Wood I also saw more Pearl-bordered Fritillary and sightings of more Five-spot Burnet, Broad-bodied Chaser, the damselflies and Southern Hawker and Keeled Skimmer which I’d seen for the first time in 2020 in the New Forest the day before stood out. Also nice to see; our first ever Mother Shipton moth briefly which was nice, tadpoles in the pond and bees in and around a nest that day. A key spring day. That day before we went out I witnessed some raw wildlife action in my bedroom en suite when I saw a very large spider and photographed it there and noticed it had consumed a smaller spider which I had seen and photographed before. This and the few weeks where I saw lots of spiders headlined an amazing year I had of seeing insects and lots of spiders in the house and taking pictures of them with my new macro lens so good for detail within the light environment of inside and not what I’d experienced before perhaps animals I wouldn’t have noticed before which was great. Back to Lakeside on a very sunny and hot lunch time walk on 27th May I was delighted to see my first Meadow Browns of 2020 a couple in the long grass there. Easily my earliest ever sighting of them in a year as my first ever May sighting of one, showing again how seeing butterflies on local walks this year my butterfly season was a bit ahead in terms of its timeline than my other years. This was such an important one too as the first I saw this year that I see as a summer species always a magical moment to look forward to what’s to come. That day it was nice to see the fairly similar Small Heath butterfly around for comparisons as well as Whitethroat and Roe Deer other wildlife wise. I photographed the first Meadow Brown that day on one of the big oxeye daisies fittingly as on that day with two photographs also taken of landscapes dominated by them and a few weeks proceeding it the meadows of Lakeside and surrounding areas including our garden a little were teeming with them. I had a great year for regular daisies too. I always love seeing these flowers but noticed and appreciated it in particular this spring especially the sheer amount of them. That Friday I got even closer to a Meadow Brown at Lakeside, whilst also seeing Small Heath, Brown Argus and Common Blue on another gorgeous weather day. That walk I also had one of my flower moments of the year seeing a Bee Orchid for the first time in the flesh an iconic, distinctive and truly beautiful wildflower so I was very happy. I took the eighth picture in this photoset of it. I saw them again a few weeks later here too. Alongside the Snake’s head fritillaries I got to love and was delighted to see and photograph at Lakeside earlier in the spring and a few more I’ve seen what a glorious urban site for special wild flowers Lakeside is this year. The Bee orchids really defined the lockdown or part-lockdown spring for me. That evening I did one in a series of more relaxed and reflective Friday evening walks as I finish half an hour early that day from work and the restrictions lessening allowed more than one walk in a day. I saw a Common Blue damselfly by some nice flowers I admired down the road in bright sun, a Blue-tailed Damselfly by Lakeside on the walk and following the Small Copper and Orange Tip nicely in a lot of butterflies seen here this year another Meadow Brown over the green at the front of the house.
We returned to Bentley Wood the following Saturday in one of my best general wildlife days this year. This included great views of my first Small Pearl-bordered Fritillaries and Large Skippers of the year. Another summer butterfly with Large Skipper my second earliest ever sighting of one in a year. Two of my standout butterflies of 2020 so enchanting to see them, to make it the highest a butterfly year list of mine had ever ended May on at 26 two ahead of my tremendous year of butterflies last year at that stage. It was a very memorable day for flowers and dragonflies too with my first Four-spotted Chaser and Emperor dragonfly seen this year by the pond some awesome spawning behaviour witnessed by the Emperor especially too which was a top wild memory on a hot and sunny day. I took the ninth picture in this photoset of the Emperor dragonfly. It was my second earliest first Emperor sighting of the year too and also meant I’d seen more dragonflies or damselflies than I ever had to end May this year on that day I’d seen treble the amount I’d seen at that stage last year my highest ever dragonfly and damselfly year list. Meadow Brown, Large Red Damselfly and Broad-bodied Chaser completed the highlights that day. We closed a marvellous May especially for butterflies at Martin Down on a sunny Sunday afternoon getting to get valuable second or subsequent chances to see species we’d seen that month or before again; such as many Adonis Blues and Small Heaths, Small Blue, Green Hairstreak and Cinnabar and burnet moths alongside lots of top bird encounters that afternoon. It was also nice seeing more Meadow Brown and Large Skipper top additions to our butterfly scene at that stage I got a picture I was proud of featuring the Large Skipper that day the tenth and final that I took in this photoset. One of my best butterfly pictures this year. That day I also saw a larger fritillary species – most likely either Dark Green or Silver-washed – flying over the grass far away I did not get the chance to tell which but it was another extremely early sighting of a summer butterfly.
I was delighted to see my first Black-tailed Skimmer of 2020 at Lakeside on lunch on 1st June, not one I excepted to see here and my first ever at Lakeside so another showing how I can open my eyes to just what is about on my local patch. It was once again my earliest ever sighting of one in a year and is now a crucial one for me to see year after year as my dragonfly year really got going over that period of hot and sunny weather. Brilliant to see and I enjoyed more views of Meadow Brown, Small Heath, Speckled Wood alongside other wildlife that fine day. On another hot and sunny day the next day I was happy to see Small Tortoiseshell there throwing back to the earlier spring this year as well as many of my star species from previous days again which was nice. The Small Tortoiseshell was seen on a lunch time and evening walk the latter I got great vibes and memories on a hot evening walking over to the meadow areas here like I as a tradition do a lot on summer nights on memorable and packed butterfly watching nights the whole feelings of the evening just took me back to those times in past years. It showed the strong stage of the season we were in as the next day that was slightly wetter and cooler albeit humid still a real weather change after a long run I still managed to see Meadow Brown, Small Heath, Blue-tailed Damselfly and some moths at Lakeside. Meadow Browns were around the next grey day mostly too and over those few days there seemed to be one at every turn everywhere I looked at Lakeside especially in grass when I walked over there alongside other summer species it was that moment where I became so used to them and reassured by their presence to sustain the status of early summer as the weather dipped a bit. The sun was back for my lunch time walk that Friday and as if nothing had changed Meadow Browns, Brown Argus and Common Blue were ones I saw on the walk alongside Comma, a dragonfly species and a Common Blue damselfly a walk I saw more great flowers on too like a pyramidal orchid. I remarked what a rich urban site for flowers Lakeside is which is wonderful. The working week was finished off perfectly as I was drawn back to Lakeside for a second walk that Friday with an early Marbled White on my mind. I didn’t see a Marbled White but was delighted to see an orange skipper species at first thinking large, but when I looked at it properly landed in the long grass I was thrilled to notice it was actually a Small Skipper following its cousin onto my year list still on dizzy high figures compared to my previous years at this time. This was yet again my earliest ever sighting of one in a year by far I don’t usually see them until mid-June at the very earliest and often July. So it was a wonderful surprise seeing this species I very often see with the Marbled Whites before it which doesn’t normally happen. It was at a time of year when many of the summer species were being seen in this country so early by everyone so it was a real notable moment of that observation trend of mine with butterflies this year and a wonderful memory for me seeing my first of this species this year a key moment for me in 2020. I saw yet another summer species and had another of the standout butterfly moments of my 2020 the next day as I saw one of my favourites the Silver-studded Blue relatively hunkered down on a grey and showery day at Deadman Hill in the New Forest. My third earliest ever sighting of one in a year.
I had a brilliant butterfly lunch time walk at Lakeside on 9th June one of my best this year. I got cracking views of a Comma, many Meadow Browns with their wings open which was memorable and I photographed and Small Skipper. Also in the area I call Marbled White meadow after days of searching with others seeing them and the grass looking more and more ready for them each day I caught sight of a Marbled White. This was a special moment as I felt compelled to follow it into long grass. I got some precious moments enjoying its intricate and stunning colour scheme a black and white scheme my T-shirt that day resembled. For this a species I usually see for the first time in a year on my commutes home from work cutting through here without a camera and have to run home to get my camera and back to try and find it or one again it was a relief that lunch time to be able to with my macro lens photograph it again straight away on a nice sunny patch of a day that had its fair share of cloudy moments too. Seeing the Marbled White here has become such a tradition for me so it felt wonderful to see one that lunch time and it was yet again my earliest ever sighting of this species in a year as I was well into seeing the summer species by that point. As rain engulfed much of the later half of that week I still saw moths and Meadow Brown well at Lakeside with a nice Friday view of a Yellow Shell moth. I went back that same evening and saw another Yellow Shell as well as my first ever Burnet companion moth it was an amazing and beautiful little thing to see. I reflected how my interest in moths was really growing this year as well. I also got lovely views of Meadow Brown and more precious Small Skipper and Marbled White views too.
I had a beautiful taste of summer day for insects at Stockbridge Down and Common Marsh the next day in June where I had my best ever afternoon of seeing Dark Green Fritillaries at the down really with dozens seen and some very close we saw they are stunning butterflies, my first of the year another summer species I saw on my earliest date in a year ever. I took I feel my best ever picture of this species that day too with my macro lens. I also saw more Marbled Whites, Green-veined White, Small Blue and Heath, Cinnabar moth and got great views of three of my favourites the Large Skipper, many Small Tortoiseshells and Adonis Blue which was great. At Common Marsh I got the great summer moment of seeing my first Scarlet Tiger moth of the year I do like them and as I have done before there saw my first Banded Demoiselle of the year. Meadow Brown and Small Tortoiseshell were about there too a pivotal part of my year. The next day at Martin Down another top one I got great views of Dark Green Fritillary, Marbled White, Meadow Browns, Small Tortoiseshell as a little influx of them occurred, Large and Small Skipper and Cinnabar moth as well as see only my second ever Chimney Sweeper moths. Poppies turning a field visible from there red from a beauty and landscape photography point of view stood out on that walk too as did seeing little red flowers do the same to Stockbridge Down the day before. Memorable moments for photos.
On the Monday that followed my next butterfly quest was fulfilled as I saw a Ringlet flying at Lakeside in a flower bed by the visitor centre, my first of the year, my earliest ever sighting of one in a year once again and an impressive I thought eleventh butterfly year tick seen either in or near to Lakeside this year. It was a great moment seeing this subtly different to Meadow Brown butterfly which I anticipated a lot for the second year running as a year tick here. I also got cracking views of Meadow Browns, Marbled White and Large Skipper in flower rich long grassed meadows here that day. The next day I saw Ringlet and Marbled White again in rich flower patches beside and at the back of the visitor centre with Small Tortoiseshell too, as well as on the walk Meadow Brown, Blue-tailed Damselfly, Black-tailed Skimmer and Emperor dragonfly on what turned into a hot and sunny lunch break at Lakeside. The next day Lakeside was teeming with Marbled Whites and Small Skippers with the sun in and out and I knew peak season was here in the grasses really amazing to see. I also saw Meadow Browns, a bee on our buddleia bush at home, Banded Demoiselle and many flowers again such as bee and pyramidal orchid that day. I enjoyed so many other great orchids so close to me at Lakeside this year too like southern marsh and common spotted which was great. On that Friday I realised a bit of an ambition this year of photographing butterflies mating again I’d not managed it with a macro lens for years but I was thrilled to see two Marbled Whites mating in the grassland near the woods in the south west of Lakeside by the path that takes you to the ford. It was a beautiful natural moment to witness and get so close to smashing stuff with Small Skipper and Meadow Brown seen well yet again too that day. The mating Marbled Whites one of my butterfly pictures of the year too. A lot of the experiences in June when I mentioned or posted a photo of them on Twitter I did so with the #30DaysWild hashtag. After taking part in the last two shorter festive additions around Christmas and New Year it was the first year ever I contributed to this iconic and inspiring Twitter hashtag that unifies people run by the Wildlife Trust and supported by many what with me really immersing myself in wildlife at least once every day thanks to working from home so I very much enjoyed that.
After this came my week off of work where I mentioned any notable butterfly or insect experiences in my next of these posts about it. I saw my first Silver-Washed Fritillary and Purple Hairstreak of the year at Bentley Wood, first White Admiral and Purple Emperors of the year at Knepp, first Lulworth Skippers of the year at Durlston, first Wall Brown and Gatekeeper of the year at Portland Bill and my first ever Stag beetle at Fishlake Meadows during that week. Thanks for bearing with me in this really long highlights blog one of my longest ever for sure, although I’m afraid the next one and my autumn one this year is longer! As I said at the top, my sixth of these posts on Wednesday is about what happened next in my butterfly, insect and flower year after the week off so do look out for that if you’re interested. In my bonus eleventh highlights post this year about my November and December I also wrote about topics covered in this blog.

The Process of Shattering: A Next Gen Fic - Ch 4
Chapter 1 - Chapter 2 - Chapter 3
Aaaaaaaand this is where stuff gets real. Also, this chapter has some shameless self referencing, go check out Good Morning, Mr. Borg. It’s good stuff. Anyway, let’s keep Birthday Week rolling!
Happy Reading!
“Hey! This is Daniel. You know what to do after the beep.”
I sighed. It’s fine. Infact, maybe it’s better this way. 
“Hey, it’s Sierra. I’ve got a doctors appointment today, so I won’t be seeing you in English. But I’ll be back later, so we can still walk home together. I, um… I’ll see you then.” I hung up as I walked through the doors of the building, swinging my backpack around to drop my phone in the side pocket.
“Circuit?”
My head shot up to find a familiar face I wasn’t expecting to run into. Drew had worked here since the beginning of time as far as I knew. Helped build me actually. She’s my grandpa’s right hand woman, started out as his personal assistant, but has since risen to be head of company communications.
“What are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be at school?”
“Technically droids aren’t allowed to enroll in public school to begin with,” I shrugged.
Drew rolled her eyes, grabbing my arm and tugging me to the side. “Look, the tower isn’t a hang out, it’s a workplace.” 
“I just want to talk to my grandpa,” I pleaded. “Maybe you could hook me up with an elevator?”
“Does this have to do with why your uncle hasn’t come in today?” She crossed her arms.
“We… had a bit of a family emergency last night with my dad,” I explained. “Cryptor volunteered to look after him while the team went to try and figure out what happened. It’s weird that he didn’t tell you. I figured he would have called you about it by now.”
Drew’s eyes grew distant as she thought. “Cry and I… aren’t on the best terms right now.” Her expression had sunken from anger into melancholy in a matter seconds. “It’s complicated. Look, let’s just get you to the top floor, huh?”
“Thank you!” I smiled, following her as she led the way to the elevator. She swiped her id card on the left before pressing the call button. It arrived only a moment later as we both boarded.  
“I’ve got some time sensitive stuff going, so I’m getting off on the 83rd floor, but I trust you can ride to the top by yourself.”
“I’m not 7 anymore, I think I’ll be alright.” I ran my fingers along my backpack straps. The elevator rides are always the most awkward part of any trip to Borg Tower. No matter how fast it is, a hundred floors is quite a height to cover.
“Is your dad… doing alright?”
“He’s recovering pretty quickly,” I sighed.
“Still, I know how scary that kind of stuff can be.”
She turned towards me, sharing a kind look for the first time since I had gotten here.
“Try not to let it get to you too much. I’m sure he’ll be alright,”
The doors opened, Drew stepping out before I could respond. 
“Hey, thanks!” 
She spun around, sending me a quick smile before the doors closed again. Drew was a strange person. I always got the sense that she had way too much stress on her shoulders. I imagine working in one of the most targeted and at risk locations in Ninjago for over a decade can do a few things to your head. Let’s just say… she’s been through a lot. I’ve always wondered what she’s like once you get to know her. A lot of people seem to like her quite a bit. There has to be a reason my grandpa has kept her around all these years, right?
The elevator doors opened once again as I reached grandpa Borg’s office, and I cautiously stepped into the room.
“Whose that?” He asked from his computer at the other end of the room.
“It’s Circuit,” I announced, walking over to him. 
“Circuit!” he turned around to see me as I swung off my backpack, placing it on the floor next to his desk. “How are you, sweetie? I’ve missed you! You really should visit more often.”
I leaned over to hug him, a warmth filling my body as I spoke with him. “You’re not mad that I’m ditching school then?”
He rolled his eyes. “You and I both know you don’t need that place.” He smiled, both of us laughing a bit. “I heard about your father…” His expression faded. “Is that why you're here?”
I was caught a bit off guard. My head just sunk as I thought. “I don’t really know why I’m here to be honest. Just… needed to get away”
He studied my face for a moment, a gentle smile spreading across his complexion. “Your father has faced some rather intense consequences during his time as a ninja.” He bagan wheeling himself over to the window. “He’s been through much worse than even you’ve ever seen.”
“I know,” I sighed. 
“He’s lost a lot over the years, and he doesn’t want to risk adding you to that list.” he paused for a moment, turning back around to read me. “I’m sure he’ll begin training you once things are safer. He doesn’t want to push you into the field before you're ready.”
Grandpa could always tell what was bothering me. I guess it makes sense, he did a lot of my programming. “I get it,” I repeated, plopping down on one of the waiting chairs. “I really do get it. It’s better for the team if I wait. In the back of my mind, I know it’ll probably even be better for me in the long run. It just… gets hard to wait sometimes.”
“Time can be a difficult foe to face,” he agreed.
“I’ve just felt so… restricted lately, you know? I can’t go on missions, I can’t start training, I can’t help mom, I can’t talk to Daniel, I can’t-”
“What’s this about Daniel?” he moved closer.
“It’s not that I can’t,” I corrected myself. “But I can’t talk to him how I want to, you know? I’m mean, I’ve never really been able to, but it’s catching up to me now, and… It’s just, it’s the end of senior year, and everything feels so final, but the only thing that isn’t going to end is this whole… lie that I’m living! I mean he’s my best friend, I’ve known him for years, and he still doesn’t even know my name.” I could feel my eyes beginning to water as I spoke. “It’s stuff like that. It hurts. And I don’t think anyone else realizes it. And Daniel is a great guy! He deserves so much better than what his parents are giving him! It’s like they don’t trust him! It’s not fair for them to try and hide his potential from him like this!”
“...Did they ever tell you why they were having you monitor Daniel?” his hand on mine snapped me out of my daze as I quickly cleared the water from my eyes.
“Well… yeah, they wanted him to have a normal life before getting dragged into all this elemental stuff. They’re worried he won’t be ready for his power if he ends up inheriting his mother’s.”
A sad smile crept onto his lips as he watched me explain. “There’s a bit more to it than that.”
“What… what else? Why would they not tell me if there was something else?”
He started rolling over to his computer screen, his movement beckoning me to follow. “It was… a few months after the both of you were born that I started doing some research and tests to try and better understand the different elemental powers. I was sure that if I studied them, I would find information to help their holders utilize them better.” He pulled up a screen filled with rows of complex data all arranged by element. “We found quite a bit. Strong bonds between certain elements, keys to the elements’ lineages, and qualities specific to the creation elements. Now, when elements are passed to a future holder after reaching their true potential, there’s at least a brief period where the previous holder retains their powers as well, and the element is split between them. My prevailing theory is that the elements do this in order to allow a training period for the older generation to assist the newer one. Of course, none of this applies if the previous holder dies before the next one reaches their true potential.” I already knew most of this, but I could feel the tension in his voice as he continued.
“Now, amber is by far the most powerful element. Strangely enough though, in all my research, I haven’t been able to find a record of it having a training period. It’s users consistently die before they can see their power passed on. Additionally, because amber’s power comes from combining the energy of other elements, it is structurally much different than the rest. It is extremely dense and concentrated. It’s strength comes from entirely existing within one location. And it’s because of these unique qualities that my simulations for a potential amber training period find that it doesn't... function properly.” As he scrolled through the data for amber the numbers grew exponentially bigger, highlighted in red. “Because the element demands to exist in only one place, attempting to split it for a training period would have one of two outcomes; it either destroys the element… or it destroys it’s users.”
I looked at the data, his words ringing through my brain. “...meaning-”
“Meaning over the course of about a month, the element actively corrodes, poisons, and corrupts the bodies of one or both of it’s users… 
...to the point of death.”

My Emet Story
I’m going to try to make this the least triggering as possible. The reason I’m sharing this is to tell you guys you aren’t alone, and to maybe give you comfort in the fact I think/act just as “weird” as you do (:
I’m currently 15 years old, and to be totally honest, I can’t remember a day without emetophobia. My earliest memory with emetophobia is when I was probably about 6-7.
I was at the mall with my mom, sister and grandma and we all got coffee and a cookie and the cookies are pretty big, especially for a little 6 year old. But I ate it, and then my stomach hurt a little afterwards. I don’t remember being scared I just remember not feeling good. Then, we got in the car to pick up my brother and cousin from school and I think I was maybe drawing in the car? This was before I realized I had an issue with motion s*ness. So then I started to feel even worse - still not scared though. But randomly, I was listening to my mom and cousin’s conversation and my cousin said the word “g*” and I just remember I started breathing heavily and my heart started pounding and I clenched on to my sister saying “oh my gosh!!! I’m scared i’ll get s*!!!” Thankfully I didn’t, but when I got home I remember laying on the couch crying. That was the first memory I had of being scared of s*ness.
Then it kinda disappeared, I didn’t ever think about being s* other than when I didn’t feel good which is probably like most people.
Then I was about 7 years old, and it had snowed for the first time of the year. I was outside with my siblings and I ate a TON of it which wasn’t smart and apparently you aren’t supposed to eat the first snow? I don’t know if that’s a myth or not but either way I didn’t know it back then and my parents weren’t watching me. I may have even possibly eaten around where my dog had peed (Gross, I know). I literally made a meal off of snow that day. That night, I v*ed and it was my earliest memory of v*ing other than when I was much smaller and had another s*ness which I barely remember. But I wasn’t really scared then either, I just felt horrible.
As you can probably already tell, I’ve had emetophobic tendencies in me forever (the crying, rapid breathing, racing heart, and being scared) isn’t typical reactions people that v* have. But my real phobia didn’t start until 2011 when I was 8.
A normal flu (not v* but respiratory flu) was going around and my brother had caught it. I was sleeping peacefully one night in my bedroom that was dreadfully right next to the bathroom - so basically I heard everything that went on in the bathroom, pretty gross, I know. But the sound of my brother v*ing woke me up that night. I didn’t know what was going on but a strange fear took over me again, same as when my cousin said the triggering g* word. Obviously back then I didn’t know such a phobia existed, and I didn’t know my feelings over v* were abnormal.
I ran into my parents room and woke my mom up to ask her what was going on. She told me that my brother was purposely making himself v* because it made him feel better? I still don’t understand but that’s why. I just remember peering over my moms bed to see the light in the bathroom shining out the door as I was uncontrollably shaking. My parents thought I was overreacting a little bit but again, I thought it was normal.
I stayed up the rest of the night in total fear that it was going to happen to me. And the fact that he was making himself do it didn’t register with my 7 year old brain - I still thought it was a contagious thing even though it wasn’t. Then a few hours went by and my throat began to get sore. I had came down with the flu too.
My mom told me it was nothing to worry about because v*ing wasn’t a part of it and again tried to convince me my brother purposely did it and it wasn’t part of his illness. The whole time of having that flu, I was scared. Thinking any minute that I would v* too. Thankfully, my mom was right and it didn’t happen. After the flu went away I was back to my normal self, not thinking about v* ever.
Then in 2013 when I was 10, it started back. I was in the pool that summer and my mom came outside to tell my dad who was supervising me in the pool, that my brother had just v*ed and I remember jumping out of the pool and screaming and crying. I ended up calming down and then I was mostly okay again for a long period of time.
The fall of 2013 got really tough, I remember every time I’d get in the car I would become worried i’d get car s* which is something I never thought about before. I remember sitting in the middle row of the car just crying and whining that I was nervous of getting s*. My mom convinced me over & over that car s*ness doesn’t happen from just sitting there and watching out the windows but I didn’t believe her.
Towards the end of 2013 around Christmas time, I remember isolating myself in my bedroom telling myself over and over “I won’t be s*, I won’t be s*, I won’t be s*” and I was scared to take a shower because just being in a bathroom caused me to freak out.
I would take a shower every 5 days and being 10 almost 11, my hair would get so oily and I wouldn’t smell very good but I couldn’t bring myself to go in the bathroom longer than to pee.
I would take a shower with the door cracked open and my mom outside and I’d rush so fast to get out of the bathroom because I associated bathrooms with v*. Then my phobia kinda disappeared again.
Being 11 was probably my best age, I don’t remember the thought of v* ever even coming to my mind, I was a very happy 11 year old.
I was in an art class, I had some great friends who I hung out with a lot, I made a fan twitter account for my favorite band and I had a lot of online friends I’d chat with, i started editing videos of my favorite band and posting them to YouTube and overall had an amazing year. That all took a turn for the worst in 2015.
The end of 2014 I got my first period. My mom had never taught me about it, I had only heard a little bit from my sister and mom talking occasionally and from googling things when I’d be upset my friends knew about it and I didn’t.
My period made my anxiety way worse which as I said, I didn’t know ANYTHING about the affects periods have on the body.
And I finally got the hang of them around maybe my 3rd period or so, and I had learned a lot about them by then but my anxiety still worsened a lot around that time of the month.
In April of 2015, I went to my art class like I did every week. I was never in love with the class because my teacher was really mean to me but I stuck with it because I wanted something to do. Until one night I woke up feeling horrible. I remember immediately panicking but I somehow fell asleep during my panic attack only to wake up again only a few hours later and feeling even worse. I’m going to spare the details to avoid triggers, but eventually I ended up v*ing. And you’d think, afterwards I’d be like “wow I’m glad that’s over and now I can move on” but no. I knew that very SECOND that this was going to affect me the rest of my life.
I was so dazed. I couldn’t believe it had happened to me. I could literally feel the phobia taking over my body and that everything I would do would be affected.
The next day, I had a small stomach ache which I would usually ignore, but this time I had a strike of anxiety rush through me which was unusual. I ran to my room and hid away from everyone just crying and freaking out until the pain went away.
I then noticed I was overly focussed on bodily sensations. If my stomach had any feeling at all that wasn’t “normal” I’d freak out. If I had a headache, or my throat was tight I’d get scared. If I felt anything even remotely close to how I did when I v*ed I’d be so anxious I would cry and scream.
The summer of 2015 was really good despite my anxiety, it was very minuscule. My emet was with me everywhere I went but not to the point I couldn’t do anything.
In October of 2015, I had my first panic attack. I didn’t know what it was, but I thought I was going to have to go to the hospital. I also didn’t know anything about panic Attacks so I thought it was a once in a lifetime thing, I didn’t know they were a reoccurring thing. I remember sitting on the couch physically too weak to stand up because of how worn out I was from consistent panic attacks.
In 2016 I developed OCD, meaning I would touch doorknobs a certain number of times or else “I’d be s* that night” and I’d refold clothes until they looked “right” or else I would for some reason v* and it was miserable. I couldn’t even clean my room without getting worn out from repeatedly folding things or straightening my sheets and I would plug and unplug my phone which is really bad for it but my OCD told me to or else I’d be s*.
I also became very paranoid of germs and started limiting the places I went to and anytime I’d go anywhere, I’d be on edge for 3 days because that was how long it took to get s* with the sv* I had so I figured if I made it past 3 days id be fine, but those 3 day I wouldn’t do that much of anything because I was so scared. Certain foods also became an issue, eating eggs would scare me and as soon as I got done eating I’d rush to my computer and google symptoms of fp* and freak out and cry until the magical “6 hours” passed and then I knew I was okay. That was my life every day for a YEAR.
2017, my OCD got miraculously better which has to be a God thing because there’s no human way I did that myself, it’s like God took it away for me and I’m so grateful I don’t struggle without OCD debilitating anhmore!!!
But in 2017 my food issue because horrible. I restricted my diet to basically water, chocolate, granola bars, cereal and ice cream. Junk and more junk which in turn made me feel s*, but then if I ate a real meal with meat I’d be scared. I also started having horrrible sleeping hours due to panicking every night.
Currently in 2018, food is still my biggest struggle and I’m just now gaining back the weight I lost last year and it’s definitely still a struggle but I believe we will all get through this together❤️❤️❤️
** I can definitely relate to the fear of bathrooms. If I felt s* at all, I would avoid them as much as possible because it made it more “real”. I had some OCD tendencies as well. You’re so young and you’ll get over it just like I did!! Good luck <3 **

You are a source of inspiration..Any recommendations if someone wanted to make a game of their own? (I.e what programs to use, things to look out for, etc)
I’ll get the expected answers out first. Here’s the programs I use (and the plugins I use for each of those):
Blender, which I use for modeling, rigging, and animating
Rigify plugin for rig creation (this comes bundled with Blender, you just have to enable it)
RetopoFlow for retopologizing high-poly to low-poly (has a free version in Github, the paid version just entitles you to technical support)
Substance Painter for texturing (this sometimes goes on sale on Steam, so watch out for it every time Steam goes on a discount sale)
Photoshop CC for creating GUI art, and image manipulation needs ($10 per month sounds fair for all the things it could do for me)
Unity for the game engine
StrangeIoC, an open-source code framework (I explain what it is exactly here)
TextMesh Pro for the GUI labels (free)
ShaderForge for making my own shaders (used to be paid, but it’s now free)
InControl, for user customization of controls (has an old, free version in github)
Unity’s Post-processing Stack for visual effects (free)
A custom AI plugin that I made, called INTLord
A custom game editing tool I made that I simply call Attack Editor (for now)
Visual Studio Community Edition (the free version) for the IDE
Resharper plugin for VS is immensely helpful for me (this is pretty expensive, but worth it for me as I use C# heavily)
Git for backup and version control
I use Git Extensions as the front-end GUI
Dropbox and Google Drive for backing up other things like raw art assets
Portable Kanban for keeping a todo list (I can recommend HacknPlan for an online alternative)
But I think the number one thing to look out for here is that, while it seems I’m able to do this game with ease, I can assure you that it is not smooth sailing all the time. I’m only sharing the end result of my work each time I post. All the mistakes and errors I encounter, I tend to discard and not share, but only because I think no one cares to really read about them. My point here is that even when I tell you what programs I use, just using those won’t guarantee you success.
If you’re having a hard time making a game, that doesn’t mean you’re not cut out for this, because I have a hard time too. It’s an inescapable part of something as complex as game development. I think what really makes a person not cut out for this, is when they give up easily when encountering difficult problems, like an overwhelmingly confusing bug, or getting a crash and finding out your work got corrupted. The proper response here is to approach problems methodically instead, and take steps so you tend to not encounter those things again in the future.
Tumblr media
Don’t expect to get things perfectly the first time, but do take time and effort to improve each time you blunder.
There’s one pattern I see a lot with beginners who never get far: they love to complain. Don’t end up like that. If after all your best effort and research, things still don’t work, then I can finally concede that you have the right to complain.
Tumblr media
These beginners would blame the engine, the programming language, or the art tool if something goes haywire, when, majority of the time, the mistake was their misunderstanding what the tool was for, and a way to solve it was in the user manual. So make sure you’ve done your homework before going on a rant.
Second thing: Practice a lot. They build your skill set. If you have no idea where to start, I suggest just making a simple game like tic-tac-toe in the game engine of your choice. The point here isn’t to build something amazing, it’s to get your feet wet with the tools you’re using. You’ll be doing it more to learn how to get graphics drawn on the screen, how to detect and react to user-input, how to code gameplay logic, etc.
The fact that you’re making a simple tic-tac-toe game helps ease the difficulty curve of trying out a new game engine. Then work out how to put a main menu on it, a highscore that gets saved to a text file, etc.
Then try out making a tetris game, then a side-scrolling platformer, etc. The more familiar you get with your tools, the easier it is to create more and more complex things.
There’s a theory out there that the amount of vocabulary you have with your spoken language influences what you tend to say (or even think!). I think it’s the same with you and your gamedev tools. You might have never gotten around to doing some crazy idea you had, simply because, lacking knowledge in your tools, you didn’t think it was possible.
Tumblr media
I do game jam games to try out learning something new.
One thing you need to realize is, if you’re not having fun doing the nitty-gritty details of these steps in game-making, maybe you should reconsider your choice of wanting to make games, because this is how it is all of the time. Or probably at least consider specializing in one aspect instead, and get help with the rest.
Tumblr media
The third thing to look out for is having no direction. What really helped me out with making this game is having a clear goal of what I want: a 3d action game about the last days of a terminally-ill henshin hero, taking place in a modern day city.
When you have no clear goal, you have no idea if what you’re currently doing is beneficial or detrimental to your game. You would have no yardstick to measure progress.
It’s fine to experiment without having decided yet what the game will look like, or what genre you’re going for, but I think even among experiments, the good ones are those that have at least some general direction of what they’re trying to test or prove.
Tumblr media
This is the earliest photo I could find of my work on the game, dated 2014, Dec. 31. On my pen tablet display there is my early concept for Desparo.
There’s a lot of things to consider when deciding to make a game. I myself was thinking whether I make this game a turn-based, or a real-time action RPG. I was also wondering if I should do it in 2d or 3d, if I go with anime or realistic art style, etc.
I knew I needed to finalize my decisions if I ever hope to progress. I think the proper way to have done it would have been to make a turn-based RPG prototype alongside an action RPG prototype, and then compare the two. But in the end I just went ahead with the real-time action game, simply because I wanted to try out something new.
Sometimes, you start out making a game prototype with just boxes, and deciding it has potential, flesh it out further by attaching a theme/story/premise behind it. I think that’s also a viable approach. It just so happened Ghost Knight Victis started the other way around, with the story first before the gameplay.
Tumblr media
And how do you get that spark of an idea of what your game should be? My game’s premise was a culmination of several ideas that have been brewing in my mind for a long time (years). After going through something pretty significant in my life and one lonely December, with two bottles of Tequila and playing through Transistor, all the incongruent ideas started making sense and fit together.
I’m not saying people need to go beat themselves up just to get something “cool”. In fact, if you have a content and happy life, consider yourself lucky if you couldn’t find inspiration to create something really artistic. Because those things tend to come from some deeply-buried, strong feeling, like anger or resentment. Then again, dealing with such thoughts are a normal challenge of growing up, living in a community, or even something as mundane as struggling with where to get a stable income. You just need to change your perspective on where inspiration comes from.
Fourth is to pace yourself properly. Match your expectations with what you can do at the moment. Aim too far out of your comfort zone, and you’ll likely fail, get discouraged, and stop trying. The trick is to aim only a little bit outside your comfort zone. You still compel yourself to improve, but at the same time, it’s a manageable amount of work for you.
Scrum and Kanban are the usual things to learn about here. I personally use Kanban a lot. The idea is simple:
Tumblr media
As a task gets further along to completion, the more it moves to the right. But, you have one restriction: only up to 3 tasks at a time can be in the “Doing” column.
This means if you are already devoted to working on 3 tasks in the “Doing” column, and you want to work on something new, you have to finish at least one of those 3 first. This makes you concentrate on getting things done. It stops you from diluting your focus, trying to work on too many things at a time.
You could also decide to move a task from “Doing” back to the “Ready” column. But I normally do it only when either I realize something else is of more importance and I need to stop what I was doing, or perhaps I’m stumped and really can’t progress on that task, in which case I give up and swap it for a different task instead.
Scrum has a lot of techniques, but one thing I take from it is the idea of sprints. You do your work in a per 2-week period, called a sprint. On the start of each sprint, you decide what you will get done, and commit to finishing those tasks within 2 weeks. After those 2 weeks, you again pick which tasks to do for the next 2 weeks, and so on. This is also a method to help you focus on getting things done, because you only concentrate on a few tasks at a time, but it also forces you to take a look at the bigger picture and re-prioritize after every 2 weeks.
Tumblr media
In my case, I don’t have 2 weeks. My sprint is only 2 days: every weekend. So I make sure each task I write in a card is achievable within 2 days. If I think a task can’t be finished in 2 days, I divide it into several subtasks.
For example, “obtaining items from chests” might be too complex, so I could divide that to these subtasks:
being able to define chests as a list of the items inside it, and being able to save that data to file
being able to place chests in the map, each chest being: a 3d model of the chest, and the data file saying what items are inside it
create the GUI art for viewing items inside a chest
put the GUI art in-game and adding code to allow it to react to user-input
implement the code for transferring items from a chest to the player’s inventory and vice-versa
Fifth is to concentrate on having a working, playable work-in-progress.
The thing to aim for here is that at the end of each sprint, whatever progress you make should be something that works in-game. It’s fine if you don’t get that all the time, but I think aiming for it helps pull everything towards that direction.
I think this video of Bayonetta’s prototype says a lot:
youtube
For reference, here’s how the final product looks like:
youtube
You can see from that prototype video that you can already start working on the gameplay even if you don’t have the art finalized yet (because the art can take a long time to get done).
I think that’s the wiser method of doing things, you get a playable work-in-progress without being stalled by the fact that the art is incomplete. It’s even better because it’s easier to adjust animations while they’re still rough: it’s less motions to re-arrange and tweak whenever you need to adjust it.
It’s also not good to base your judgement of how correct an animation is from just looking at it in Blender/Maya/etc. alone, because you aren’t seeing it being used in-game. For all you know, the sword attack you’ve been polishing for so many days doesn’t really work because the arc of the sword swing doesn’t really reach the intended target! Or maybe you didn’t realize that the swing is making the sword pass through the ground mesh unintentionally!
Or maybe there’s certain situations where your animation really just needs to be tweaked (when fighting inside narrow hallways, or when you are standing on a flight of stairs & attacking a target below you, etc.). It’s really better to test it out in-game as soon as you’ve established the key frames of your animation.
Frankly, this is something that I should learn to do myself!
And what about for the story? I think this is a neat trick in designing a prototype for your game’s story:
youtube
(the video’s about half an hour long, but it’s worth it)
The basic gist is that you design a “board game” out of your game’s story. And I think that’s the proper way to do things. There’s really more to it than what I just said, so I encourage you all to watch that video.
Sixth is to handle feedback as objectively as you can. As a solo developer, you will tend to see your game as your “baby”, something that in your eyes is a flawless creation.
Maybe you expect players to always do something, but turns out it never crosses their minds at all. That might be a symptom that you need to fix your game’s design.
Tumblr media
Be clear with what you are asking feedback for. Just posting screenshots, and a vague “this is my game, suggestions and feedback are welcome!” will not help, because people will tend to give you suggestions that are not in line with the goal you have set in mind for the game, and you end up sounding defensive trying to explain things.
Explain your intent with what you’re specifically showing, and ask for feedback if people think your work achieved that intent or not. But start with a 2 to 3 sentence blurb that describes the premise of your game, to set the tone. Here’s a good tutorial for that.
Take the time to appreciate when people praise you, but don’t let it get to your head.You shouldn’t keep yourself in a circle full of yes-men, you will just not improve there. On the other hand, don’t think that just because you’re being the target of verbal abuse that you are finally getting the so-called brutally honest feedback.
You really have to ignore the emotional parts of what people post, good or bad. Read between the lines of what’s being said, to find the truly useful feedback you want for improvement (if there is even any in their posts).
Tumblr media
But don’t just follow every suggestion that comes along your way. Sift through it and think about why someone said what they said.
In my first playable demo, many were complaining that the player should be allowed to move more responsively, to be able to cancel attacks into movement. But that went against my intention of giving it a Dark Souls type of combat (instead of a Dynasty Warriors style of combat).
I realized, people were having that problem because I placed far too many enemies in the level. No one suggested that I lessen the amount of enemies, but that was really my mistake with that one.
So there really was a problem, but their suggestion was not the best way to fix it.
Tumblr media
Another example: When Magicka was still being developed, some beta testers complained that friendly fire ruins the experience, and kept suggesting to remove it, or at least have the option to disable it. But the developers doubled down on their decision to have friendly-fire, because friends hitting each other was part of the humor that they wanted to achieve, so they decided to leave it there, and they were right.
I’ll end all of this by saying, this is only my way of doing things. It’s perfectly reasonable if you discover a different way that works for you!
Tumblr media
I always keep a bottle of Tequila handy under my desk.

Fact-Checking 6 Claims at Senate Democrats’ Voting Law Hearing
Fact-Checking 6 Claims at Senate Democrats’ Voting Law Hearing
Fred Lucas / @FredLucasWH / July 19, 2021
"Spurred on by the big lie, these same actors are now rolling back voting rights in a way that is unprecedented in size and scope since the Jim Crow era,” Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., testifies Monday during a Senate Rules Committee hearing on Georgia's new voting law in Atlanta. (Photo: Elijah Nouvelage/Getty Images)
Senate Democrats took their push to nullify state election laws on the road Monday, holding a “field hearing” in Atlanta to attack Georgia’s recent election reforms and promote their bill to eliminate voter ID and other requirements. 
Only Democrat members of the Senate Rules and Administration Committee showed up to question witnesses, also all Democrats. 
Committee Chairwoman Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., said Republicans had the opportunity to call a witness to defend the Georgia law, but didn’t request one. A spokesperson for the committee’s ranking member, Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., didn’t respond Monday to The Daily Signal’s emails and phone inquiries on this point. 
The hearing, held at the National Center for Civil and Human Rights, included numerous assertions, some true, but others debunked in previous fact checks. 
  Here’s a look at six big claims from the hearing in Atlanta, which Democrats titled “Protecting the Vote.”
1. ‘Hurdles’ to Ballot Drop Boxes
Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., isn’t a member of the Rules and Administration Committee, but was the first witness in his home state. Warnock, who took office in January, criticized Georgia’s election reform law for “reducing the number of drop boxes where voters can return those ballots.”  
Klobuchar jumped in later to say, “If you’re looking for evil, you can find it pretty easily” in the Georgia law. 
“Drop-off boxes cannot stay open beyond the time of the early voting,” Klobuchar said, adding, “Some of these voters were working day and night, several jobs, then they can’t go to a drop-off box.” 
The fact is that ballot drop boxes weren’t used in Georgia nor in most other states before the 2020 election, which took place during the COVID-19 pandemic.  
Georgia election officials provided drop boxes to collect voters’ ballots based on Gov. Brian Kemp’s emergency order to address voting concerns during the pandemic. 
But for Senate Bill 202, passed by Georgia lawmakers, officials wouldn’t have to provide drop boxes in future elections. That said, fewer drop boxes will be available as those elections presumably take place without a pandemic.
Also, the new law restricts voting by drop box to hours when early in-person voting is available.
Each county in Georgia must provide at least one drop box under the law. But boxes will have to be located near early-voting sites and be accessible for dropping off absentee ballots when those polling locations are open. 
2. ‘Big Lie’
Democrat senators and witnesses argued that the law in Georgia and other election reforms across the United States were prompted by former President Donald Trump’s claim that his election loss in November to President Joe Biden was fraudulent. 
“We saw record-breaking voter turnout in our last elections—participation that should have been celebrated—get attacked by craven politicians, and, spurred on by the big lie, these same actors are now rolling back voting rights in a way that is unprecedented in size and scope since the Jim Crow era,” Warnock said. 
Biden beat Trump by about 12,000 votes out of 4.9 million cast, according to official final results, to win Georgia’s 16 electoral votes. 
Georgia state Rep. Bill Mitchell, a Democrat and president of the National Black Caucus of State Legislators, called the November election a major success.  
“I define its success not by our candidates’ winning their elections, but by the fact that when you have as many people vote as we did in the 2020 election cycle, with as few problems, with all challenges being dismissed—you have to consider that to be successful,” Mitchell said. 
Mitchell later said “The Heritage Foundation and others” were pushing election reform legislation. 
The Heritage Foundation, a leading conservative think tank, is the parent organization of The Daily Signal. 
“When you have the highest levels of voter participation, combined with the lowest levels of challenges, why would you want to change that?” Mitchell said. 
However, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution last week reported that digital ballot images show that Fulton County election officials scanned about 200 ballots two times in the November election. Skeptics of the election results argue that apparent double counting is evidence of a need for a closer examination of ballots in Georgia. 
The newspaper noted that the discovery was unlikely to change the election results in Georgia. But some conservative commentators, such as Fox News Channel’s Tucker Carlson, expressed concern about the finding. 
The duplication of at least 200 ballots is evidence of problems with tallying votes in Georgia, but far from proof that the state’s election results were affected in Biden’s favor. 
3. ‘Adequate Polling Locations’
One of the more compelling witnesses was neither a lawmaker nor an activist, but a voter named Jose Segarra. The Air Force veteran told his story of waiting in line for hours.
“I, along with thousands of Georgians, had to wait for hours in order to cast my vote in the 2020 general election,” he said. 
“Our government needs to ensure that we have adequate systems and processes in place to allow every eligible voter to cast their ballot without such undue burdens,” Segarra said without specifying federal or state government, adding: 
To do this, we need to have an adequate number of polling locations and these locations to be properly resourced and open for as expansive a period as possible. Voters should have the opportunity to vote on Saturdays and Sundays. Lots of people work on Saturdays, so Sundays need to be an option. It would also make it much easier for some people to vote if Election Day were a federal holiday.
Georgia’s new election law does provide “additional voting equipment or poll workers to precincts containing more than 2,000 electors.” 
The law added early voting on two Saturdays and one Sunday that previously were not available to Georgians, stating: 
Requiring two Saturday voting days and two optional Sunday voting days will dramatically increase the total voting hours for voters across the state of Georgia, and all electors in Georgia will have access to multiple opportunities to vote in person on the weekend for the first time.
Under the new law, counties in Georgia have flexibility to open early voting for as long as from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., or from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at minimum. 
Previously, some rural counties didn’t provide for early voting for eight hours on a workday, The Washington Post reported. 
Thus, the law actually expanded hours for early voting. 
4. ‘Mass Challenges’
Warnock announced new legislation he is co-sponsoring with fellow Senate Democrats Jeff Merkley of Oregon, Mark Warner of Virginia, and Jon Ossoff of Georgia. Ossoff, like Warnock, took office in January after defeating a Republican incumbent in a special election. 
The legislation, called the Preventing Election Subversion Act, seeks to prevent the overturning of elections based on mass challenges or by legislators controlling the makeup of a state board of elections. 
The proposal is tied directly to provisions that Warnock said are in SB 202, the basis of Georgia’s new law. 
Warnock said Georgia’s law would let “a single person make unlimited, mass challenges to the ability of other Georgians to vote, clearing the way for baseless accusations.” 
The language of the law does make it more difficult for government officials to outright dismiss a complaint about election procedures and ballots. Specifically, it says:  
Any elector [voter] of a county or municipality may challenge the qualifications of any person applying to register to vote in the county or municipality and may challenge the qualifications of any elector of the county or municipality whose name appears on the list of electors. Such challenges shall be in writing and shall specify distinctly the grounds of the challenge. 
There shall not be a limit on the number of persons whose qualifications such elector may challenge. Upon such challenge being filed with the [local] board of registrars, the registrars shall set a hearing on such challenge within ten business days after serving notice of the challenge.
As another justification for his legislation, Warnock argued that Georgia’s new law “allows partisan officials in the state Legislature to control our state board of elections and take over local election administrators, and it allows them to engage in these takeovers even as the votes are still being cast.”
The Associated Press reported in March that under the new law, the Legislature does indeed have an increased role in the State Election Board, but it can’t overturn elections at a whim, as Warnock seemed to suggest. 
Georgia’s elected secretary of state has a diminished role in elections under the new law. This is the basis for Democrats’ claim that partisan politics could play a role.  
“The secretary of state will no longer chair the State Election Board, becoming instead a non-voting ex-officio member,” Georgia Public Broadcasting explained in a report. “The new chair would be nonpartisan but appointed by a majority of the state House and Senate. The chair would not be allowed to have been a candidate, participate in a political party organization or campaign or [have] made campaign contributions for two years prior to being appointed.”
5. ‘Rushed Through’
Georgia state Sen. Sally Harrell, D-Dunwoody, said the Republican-sponsored law lacked adequate input from Democrats in the state Legislature. 
“Election bills were rushed through without public input and voted out along party lines,” Harrell said. “Questions addressed to bill authors by minority members were frequently answered dishonestly and disrespectfully. … In the nine years, I have served in the [Georgia] General Assembly, I have never seen such blatant disregard for the legislative process as I did with the passage of SB 202.”
Previous media reporting shows the legislation moved quickly through the Legislature to Kemp’s desk. Questioning this speed has been a consistent line among critics, including the U.S. Justice Department. 
Assistant U.S. Attorney General Kristen Clarke, who is leading the federal lawsuit against Georgia’s voting law, has said the bill was “a rushed process that departed from normal practice and procedure.”
“The version of the bill that passed the state Senate … was three pages long,” Clarke said in June during a press conference announcing the litigation. “Days later, the bill ballooned into over 90 pages in the House. The House held less than two hours of floor debate on the newly inflated SB 202 before Gov. Kemp signed it into law the same day.”
6.  Water Bottles, Ballot Harvesting
Warnock also complained that Georgia’s election law is “making it harder for community organizations to assist voters, whether from requesting a ballot to just handing out a bottle of water.”
The law prohibits campaign workers from distributing food, drink, or anything else of value to waiting voters, and from setting up a table within 150 feet of the building or 25 feet of a voter. 
However, the law specifically allows official poll workers, as opposed to campaign workers, to provide water to voters. 
As for the “community organizations” Warnock cited, the law prohibits ballot harvesting, a controversial practice in which  political operatives obtain large numbers of ballots from election officials and then deliver the ballots to those officials once they’ve been voted. 
The practice has been used to achieve fraud in several elections, among them a North Carolina congressional race later overturned in court and a Texas mayor’s race that led to multiple indictments.

The Latest: France sees drop in COVID-19 hospitalizations | National News
Tumblr media
PARIS — The number of coronavirus patients hospitalized in France dropped this weekend for this first time since September, after two weeks of new nationwide lockdown measures aimed at slowing surging infections and easing hospital strains.
The number of COVID-19 patients in intensive care also fell for the first time in six weeks, according to figures released Saturday night, though virus patients still occupy 96% of France’s standard ICU beds.
The number of weekly infections per 100,000 people in France has now been falling for 14 straight days, and some doctors say they’re starting to see signs of relief in over-stretched ICUs.
But it remains too early to say whether the one-day drop in hospital numbers means France has hit the peak in this second surge of the pandemic.
France has reported more virus infections than any European country and has had 44,246 virus-related deaths. The government imposed a nationwide partial lockdown starting Oct. 30 as the second surge hit and could start easing the measures Dec. 1 if the number of virus patients in hospitals shows consistent decline.

HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE VIRUS OUTBREAK:
— Second round of lockdowns brings misery for Europe’s Michelin-rated chefs
— President-elect Joe Biden faces tough choice of whether to back virus lockdowns
— Mexico reaches 1 million virus cases, nears 100,000 deaths
— French doctors use their experience t o improve treatments for COVID-19 patients
— San Diego restaurants, gyms sue for right to operate indoors despite pandemic

HERE’S WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING:
COLOMBO, Sri Lanka — Authorities in Sri Lanka say about 400 inmates from the country’s highly-congested prisons have tested positive for COVID-19 as infected cases are surging in the capital and its suburbs.
Twelve of the 400 are prison officers while the rest are inmates. The cases are detected from five prisons in different parts of the country.
Sri Lankan prisons are highly congested with more than 26,000 inmates crowded in facilities designed to hold about 10,000.
Sri Lanka has seen a fresh outbreak of the disease since last month when two clusters — one centered on a garment factory and other on the fish market — emerged in Colombo and its suburbs. Confirmed cases from just those two clusters have grown by Sunday to 13,079 people.
Sri Lanka’s total number of positive cases reached 16,582 on Sunday with 53 fatalities.

ANTWERP, Belgium — Many a three-star Michelin meal has been put into a takeout box and sent out on Deliveroo scooters, as renowned chefs in Belgium and elsewhere try to scrape through a second pandemic lockdown that is likely to threaten even the lucrative Christmas season.
Sergio Herman, who has run three-star, two-star and many other establishments that have wowed the Michelin powers and the most refined palates around the world, doesn’t really see any positives to come out of working amid the pandemic.
“Sometimes you feel that whatever you built up over the years is slipping like sand through your fingers. It gives you this kind of fear,” he told The Associated Press.
Across much of Europe, exclusive restaurants have lost the precious appeal of the luxury dining experience — from eating several inventive courses, to basking in sommelier tastings, to savoring the after-dinner sweet and having that little extra chat with the chef.
“All that cannot just be replaced by a box and a plastic tray. That is just impossible,” Herman said amid the whirl of his new restaurant, Le Pristine, in the Belgian port of Antwerp.

NEW DELHI — India has reported 41,100 new cases of coronavirus in the past 24 hours, taking the country’s overall tally since the pandemic began to 8.79 million.
The Health Ministry on Sunday also reported 447 deaths in the same period, driving total fatalities to 129,635.
India is second in the world in total reported cases behind the U.S., but daily infections have been on the decline since the middle of September. There has been, however, a resurgence of infections in New Delhi, which has seen a renewed surge in recent weeks, recording more new cases than any other Indian state.
On Sunday, New Delhi registered 7,340 new coronavirus cases, including 96 deaths.

SEATTLE — Washington Gov. Jay Inslee has scheduled a news conference for Sunday morning as COVID-19 case numbers soar throughout the Pacific Northwest where he will reportedly detail new restrictions.
Inslee’s office said he would discuss actions to combat the crisis but offered no details. The Seattle Times reports that among Inslee’s announcements will be a ban on indoor service at restaurants and bars and significantly reduced capacity at grocery stores and retail shops.
The newspaper cited industry officials briefed by Inslee’s staff. The Democratic governor will also prohibit all indoor social gatherings. And Inslee will reportedly limit grocery stores and retailers to 25% occupancy.

HARTFORD, Conn. — Connecticut’s two U.S. senators were self-isolating Saturday after a member of Democratic Gov. Ned Lamont’s staff tested positive for COVID-19.
Richard Blumenthal and Chris Murphy each tweeted Saturday that they had not had close contact with the staffer but were taking the step out of an abundance of caution.
Lamont’s chief spokesperson, Max Reiss, identified himself as the senior staff member who had tested positive in a release posted to Twitter on Friday. Reiss wrote he wasn’t sure how or where he had contracted the virus.
Murphy tweeted Saturday that he had “attended an event yesterday with the Governor but was not in close contact with the staff member who tested positive. Out of an abundance of caution, though, I am isolating until I get tested and consult with the Office of Attending Physician Monday morning.”
Blumenthal tweeted Saturday afternoon that he had “just returned from being tested myself and am currently self-isolating.”

CARSON CITY, Nev. — Nevada has reported a record number of new confirmed cases of the coronavirus for the second day in a row amid warnings from Gov. Steve Sisolak that the state is at a “critical juncture.”
Sisolak implored residents to stay home and do what they can to protect themselves a day after he announced he had tested positive for COVID-19. Sisolak told reporters on Friday that he wasn’t feeling any symptoms and would enter a quarantine.
Nevada reported 2,269 new cases and 15 additional deaths on Saturday, topping the record of 1,857 new cases set Friday.
Sisolak warned Nevadans earlier in the week that if the state fails to slow the spread of the virus within two weeks, he will be forced to reimplement stricter measures.

NEW YORK — Students, parents and teachers are continuing to anxiously watch New York City’s coronavirus test results. The latest figures Saturday fell under the city’s threshold for shutting down school buildings, but the mayor warned that the city was at a “crucial” point in fighting the virus’ resurgence.
Mayor Bill de Blasio cautioned parents and teachers Friday to plan for a potential school shutdown as soon as Monday, saying the city could cross its deciding line — 3% of coronavirus tests citywide coming back positive over a seven-day period — over the weekend.
The rate stayed short of that on Saturday, at 2.47%, he said.
“But that could change,” the Democratic mayor tweeted, warning that the city was facing “a critical weekend” in combating the pandemic.
New York City has the United States’ largest public school system, with more than 1 million students. It became one of few big cities to reopen classrooms this fall after the pandemic forced schools online in the spring, though families had the option of continuing all-remote learning this fall.
About 280,000 students have attended in person, far fewer than the city originally expected.
———
ATHENS, Greece — Deaths from the coronavirus have topped 1,000 in Greece, and authorities say that over half occurred since Oct. 18.
The Greek government has decided to shut down elementary schools, kindergartens and day care centers for two weeks starting Monday. Children will be schooled at home, as is already happening with high school and university students.
Authorities have stepped up enforcement of a 9 p.m. – 5 a.m. curfew, including by making arrests.
Two foreign exchange students who hosted an after-hours party at their apartment in the northern city of Thessaloniki were arrested Friday and fined 3,000 euros ($3,550) each on the spot. The 24-year-old Palestinian man and 21-year-old woman from France received also suspended prison sentences of 2 years and two months on Saturday.
Their 15 party guests, all university students from western Europe, were fined 300 euros ($355) each but not arrested.
———
BALTIMORE — The number of people testing positive for the coronavirus has soared to a new daily high in the United States.
Data from Johns Hopkins University indicates the number of confirmed cases reached 184,514 on Friday, as the number of people infected continues to surge.
The Johns Hopkins data shows the seven-day rolling average for virus-related deaths reported daily in the U.S. rose over the past two weeks from about 828 on Oct. 30 to 1,047 on Friday, an increase of about 26%
The seven-day rolling positivity rate also rose over the past two weeks from 6.4 to 9.6, an increase of about 50%, even as the number of tests performed has grown.

hockey: We are social creatures, missed the crowd experience: Belgium coach Shane McLeod on return of international hockey | Hockey News
Tumblr media
NEW DELHI: In December 2018, when Belgium broke Dutch hearts to win the men’s hockey World Cup, a ‘blueprint to success’ reached its final destination. But from thereon, the Red Lions’ task became tougher, for they had to not just enjoy the view from the top but also keep proving that they belong there. The next goal on that road for the Belgians is to turn their 2016 Olympic silver to gold in Tokyo next year. But the preparation has been far from ideal, so far. After enjoying a year as the new world champions, the Belgians, along with the rest of the hockey world, had to go through a difficult period. The pandemic forced the Olympics to be moved to 2021 and the eerily quiet hockey pitches around the world had no activity for close to 200 days. Hockey had its line-up of the 12 teams for the Tokyo Games, the fixtures were rolled out as well, but the all-important practice provided by Pro League before the big stage had to be stopped indefinitely, as the pandemic wreaked havoc. Finally in September, as the world reached a stage where it had learned, to an extent, how to live with the coronavirus, international hockey returned, when Germany hosted Belgium in Dusseldorf for a two-match Pro League tie. The FIH, after much deliberation and outlining the SOP to be followed, decided to bring hockey back on the pitch, with Germany and Belgium becoming the first two teams to experience playing in the Covid-19 era. To know how it felt and what changed, Timesofindia.com got in touch with the coach of the Red Lions, Shane McLeod, for an exclusive interview.
Tumblr media
(Action from the second match between Germany and Belgium in Dusseldorf – FIH Facebook Photo ) Excerpts… Is it an advantage or a disadvantage to be the first team to play with Covid-19 restrictions in place? I believe that there are some positives with being (among) the first teams to play. Firstly, we get to start to develop our game earlier than other nations that are still either in training mode or not able to be together. We also create the expectation of a new normal for the group. Athletes need to have targets to look forward to and there is no better way to do this than playing other nations. How many days before the matches against Germany did you get together as a group? Did you have a camp? We are lucky to be able to operate in a semi-centralised programme, meaning that players are able to live at home but can come into the training environment each week for training. This means that the need to bring the group together before playing a match does not need to be for a long period. We travelled the morning before we played, as it is only a two-hour distance from where we train. How much does being in a camp help as opposed to getting together just a few days before a tour/tournament? What do you prefer as a coach? In normal circumstances, we would travel a week to ten days before a tournament so that we get used to the time zone, conditions and climate; but for the Pro League, this is not practical. When we do travel and are in camp, it is a great way to bring the group to another level, playing-wise, and also as a team.

Talking about the lockdown period in one of your earlier comments, you said, the “players’ technical levels are very high…and some even made gains”. Can you please elaborate on that? Due to the fact that we had to train over distances, we needed to be creative in how we set out our training. It meant going back to basics and working on areas of players’ development that often get overlooked. For example, training to receive overheads was an easy topic to develop. Players would do hundreds of repeatable exercises rather than 10 or 20. This means that players’ skill levels improved. How much does not playing together for a long time matter, especially when you have largely played with more or less the same group over a period of time, which helped you win the World Cup as well? We have actually enlarged our group for a short period of time. We are starting to shape a group ready to prepare for the next Olympic cycle. We had two new players playing (for) their first caps for the Red Lions against Germany. For most nations, it takes some time to piece together the team’s playing style and after seven months we also have to start to build each of the areas of our game. What makes this an interesting exercise is that players are back with their clubs, meaning that they are having to learn several playing styles all at the same time. Talking about the Covid-19 protocols related to match-days, what struck you the most when you stepped on the pitch? For me, a big part of the experience is the crowd. Whether you are playing against India in India and having to deal with the crowd’s ability to lift the team, or playing at home in Belgium knowing that all of the supporters have come to enjoy the event, it is the crowd that provides that extra feeling. Without a crowd, it is very hard to not get the feeling of it being a training match. It just shows that we are social creatures.

— International Hockey Federation (@FIH_Hockey) 1600858798000
What has been the players’ feedback about how they feel playing after a five-month break? The players have loved getting back on the field together — the whole experience of being away as a group and enjoying all of the things around playing international hockey again. You won the first game against Germany comprehensively but then were held to a 1-1 draw in the second. What changed? I think that playing two games back to back is an interesting experience. There are several things that impact on the scoreline. Firstly, when you win a game 6-1, you often struggle to look at the game in the same detail as you do if you are the team that loses. Germany did many things better in the second match, which made it harder for us to create opportunities. I would also suggest that the first game was closer than the scoreline indicated. We were the better team, but I think that 6-1 was not a fair indication of how the game was. You are now on the road to the Olympics. How do you plan to do even better in Tokyo than you did in Rio in 2016? We still have many stages to pass through to have our Olympic readiness. In each game, we will focus on improvements and by the time the Olympics begin, you will see a very strong Belgium side ready to take on some of the world’s best teams. We cannot wait.

Thriving during the lockdown: Game plan of small Indian brands
New Post has been published on https://apzweb.com/thriving-during-the-lockdown-game-plan-of-small-indian-brands/
Thriving during the lockdown: Game plan of small Indian brands
Tumblr media
By Harsh Vardhan
When the going gets tough, the tough gets going — it’s probably the most overused phrase among millennials, but never has it carried the weight that it does in the current situation the world is caught up in. Almost a global lockdown and a constant threat to life has pushed everyone inside four walls of their homes and made people rethink their movements and actions. Brands aren’t unscathed either. Some of the top business organisations and retail chains have crumpled under pressure, leaving many wondering if these corporate giants even had any plan of action for such an emergency. Surprisingly, some of the local and rather new-age companies have risen up to the occasion and managed to deliver well.
“Local brands have a more local supply chain – that makes it easier for them to manage disruptions in times like these. I believe it is not a matter of less or more trusted choice, but the fact that there was no choice in some cases. Hence, availability trumped everything else,” Abheek Singhi, senior partner and managing director at The Boston Consulting Group tells Brand Equity.
In India, the sudden enforcement of nationwide lockdown on March 25, left many big brands with stocks stuck in the pipeline.
Gaurav Baheti, founder and CEO of supply chain management company Procol, says, “Considering the fact that more than 95% buyers purchase essential goods through their network of sellers and brokers, there is a need to discover new reliable vendors who could help with required fulfilment. Availability is the key right now. Smaller brands have been able to capture that aspect well.”
Retailers say smaller and regional consumer goods products have been outpacing larger market leader brands in sales in nearly a dozen key categories as consumers pick availability on shelves over loyalty. Be it the city-based snacks companies or some better known ones such as Garden (owned by CavinKare) and Baggrys, munchies and ready to cook items have been flying off the shelves fast. With most meat shops shut and consumers becoming increasingly hygiene conscious, demand for packaged and frozen meat from companies such as Mumbai-based Zorabian Chicken has also seen a significant surge in demand. Easier availability of local players at the next door kirana stores has played a big role in this demand and experts feel this could lead to a larger shift in consumption patterns as people could get used to a comparatively lower priced brand.
According to Nielsen, share of the top three brands in the hand sanitiser segment dropped from 85% in January and February to 39% in March after 152 new players entered the segment. In packaged rice in modern trade, top three brands cumulatively lost their share from 72% in February to 64% in March.
“What worked for us is that we own our entire supply chain and have a robust distribution network. One of the key decisions we made during the lockdown was to scale down the operations and provide only the essential products, like idli dosa batter, chapati, parotta, paneer etc in all markets,” says PC Musthafa, co-founder and CEO, iD Fresh Food.
Brand positioning and social image, too, has been a focus area for most of these companies at this point as it could go a long way in creating a positive impression on the consumer’s mind.
Rohan Mirchandani, co-founder and CEO of yogurt brand Epigamia says, “We realised that despite the restriction imposed on the movement of people and goods, we had to resume our supply lines to ensure the availability of food in the retail stores. We re-engineered our operation and resources and worked closely with state authorities to gain the requisite permission to run our supply infrastructure to service the stores. Realising that many of our consumers are still unable to find us in-store, we set up a direct to consumer platform for them to order from us directly.”
Tumblr media
Licious
Even meat delivery platform Licious has been rather active when most e-commerce chains have been facing delivery challenges. “Given that we own, control and manage the entire supply chain, Licious has been in a position to respond swiftly to the changing ground realities in the wake of the pandemic. We have been airlifting some part of the raw material, especially for cities where local sourcing is difficult at the moment. Across Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Delhi-NCR, Chandigarh, Mumbai, Pune and Chennai, we have witnessed a 200 per cent surge in demand during the lockdown period,” Licious co-founder, Vivek Gupta, tells BE.
Startups such as food brand Soulfull, owned by Kottaram Agro Foods, have brought tech into use to work around the situation well. Says Prashant Parameswaran, MD & CEO, Kottaram Agro Foods, “As a startup, we do not have regional HR teams for every city/state and our leaders from the sales team moved into being the CEO’s for the region and took on the spot decisions. Our sales team not only collected orders via phone or with our app but also ensured delivery by taking their vehicles or distributor vehicles. We had set ourselves into a war-zone mentality. Some of our regions delivered sales which were as much or if not more than the pre-Covid times. We even enabled a store locator on our website for our customers to know which stores are open in their area and what products of the brand they had in stock.”
Snacks company True Elements’ co-founder Puru Gupta, who anticipated the crisis says, “Thanks to our China learnings and connections, we anticipated this situation to some extent in the middle of January itself (though not this level of scale.) We worked out a detailed business continuity plan. From the first week of March, we moved our migratory population to live inside the factory with their food and entertainment taken care of. As a result, we had zero production loss in our plant – the only loss was due to a broken logistics system which we managed in Pune and Mumbai through our vehicles.”
But the question to be asked is whether consumers would continue opting for these newer brands in the long run or is this surge in demand just a manifestation of the panic in the air?
“In the first two weeks of lockdown, anything that was available, sold. Many smaller and new brands gained sales in that period. But I would wonder, if consumers were making a choice for a brand at all. People panic bought categories – atta, soybean oil, biscuits, noodles, ghee, hand wash and not brands. Some new brands ended up going to new consumer homes. Very good for them,” says Damodar Mall, CEO – Grocery, Reliance Retail.
Nielsen has slashed its 2020 growth outlook for India’s fast-moving consumer goods sector to 5-6% from its earlier projection of 9-10%, but big brands, with their financial strength and larger distribution chain, can bounce back aggressively once supply chain disruptions ease. This, in turn, might again hurt the smaller brands.
“I would not see this (fall in demand during lockdown) really as an issue with big brands. They finally have the capability to reorient the supply chain quickly,” says Pinakiranjan Mishra, partner & sector leader, Consumer Products & Retail, EY India.
In the long run, numbers will still be in favour of corporate behemoths, but younger brands are well aware of how this situation can serve as an opportunity for them to make a lasting impression.
Srini Vudayagiri, CEO, Unibic Cookies, says “We have been utilising this time to get back to the drawing board and come up with a sound post-lockdown plan. Our strategy is to tap into this opportunity to reinforce our brand messaging and help connect with new customers. Furthermore, the plan is to continue to stay connected, especially in these times of physical distancing. Another focus area is staying connected with over two lakh trade partners and business associates, as we help each other weather the storm.”
“Given that there are no fixed formulas to surviving a pandemic or doing business in a lockdown situation, we have to be quick on our feet … The biggest lesson has been to be adaptable to the fast-changing ground realities,” he concludes.
Founders Speak “There is no template to follow. We wanted to spread the message of love and hope. That’s the reason we launched an early Mother’s Day Campaign – for what can be more comforting than a mother’s love? The most important lesson we have learnt is not to take anything for granted… If you had told me two months ago that the company can be run remotely, I wouldn’t have believed it. But we are doing it now! We have decentralised the decision-making process to help cope with the changing dynamics of each region. Flexibility has been the key.” PC Musthafa, CEO & co-founder, iD Fresh Food.
“We need to be super nimble, yet wedded to long term objectives. Our business models were re-engineered to meet the times and we did the same, be it the way we now supply to stores or the new D2C model. All of this was done with a clear thought on how it met our big picture of the long-term goals.”- Rohan Mirchandani, CEO & co-founder, Epigamia.
“As a young company, we pride ourselves in our agility and that’s what allowed us to make a few quick amends in our delivery model to suit the situation. Other than moving to the slotted delivery models and forging quick partnerships, we also initiated consolidated delivery to large apartment complexes. This reduced the pressure on the delivery system while allowing us to serve a much larger number of consumers. Our decision to hire hotels to house all employees working in the processing plants during the lockdown, adhering to stringent safety measures, has strengthened our sense of team spirit. In fact, most of our new recruits have come through references from our current employees.” – Vivek Gupta, co-founder, Licious.
Expert Take “Post the panic buying stage, things are different in our stores. Let’s talk about instant noodles as an example. As a supermarketwala, I love all the brands of noodles I sell, including our private brand SnacTac. However, as a student of consumer behaviour, I have to say, in these otherwise disturbed times, a bowl of Maggi feels safer, warmer, cosier than a bowl of SnacTac or any other brand! When many things are uncertain and tad scary, people like to reduce variables around them and seek comfort in the known and trusted. I wonder if I would go for a newbie gluten free idli mix with unfamiliar credentials, or a trusted rava idli mix from MTR.” – Damodar Mall, CEO Grocery, Reliance Retail.
“The thing that has mattered the most in these times is the 4th P of marketing – that is ‘place’. Our research has indicated that availability at the retail point has been the most important element of marketing. In light of that, all FMCG companies have pulled all stops to ensure last mile availability. Consumers are concerned and cautious about the future – due to both the virus and the economy. Our research clearly shows that they expect to spend less across most categories. Consumer choice at these times is driven by a set of interrelated factors – trust and security is more important than ever; the sense of minimalism and desire for small pleasures will co-exist.” – Abheek Singhi, senior partner and managing director, The Boston Consulting Group.
“I would say the winner would be the brands that can understand the shifts in consumer behaviour quickly and reorient their product range and channel to meet their demands. While smaller players are nimble in this, the big companies have an advantage now of not working full steam and hence a lot of management bandwidth available to address these issues. In fact the larger players who are cash rich have a great advantage in using their scale and might to change much faster this time.” – Pinakiranjan Mishra, partner & sector leader, Consumer Products & Retail, EY India.
ROAD AHEAD
5-6% – Nielsen’s growth outlook for FMCG sector for 2020
9-10% – Projection before Covid-19 pandemic happened
The sector saw early signs of recovery in Jan and Feb
March 25 – Nationwide lockdown came into effect
May 18 – Date till which lockdown is to last as per current directions
Possible government stimulus, cheap crude oil and low inflation may help post Covid-19 business
Lockdown leading to a drop-in consumption and shift in preferences
People are moving away from discretionary spend and focusing on financial security: Nielsen report
A McKinsey study shows about 65% of the consumers have tried new or alternate brands, of which nearly 10% intend to not switch back

Fifty years ago, fresh out of the caps and gowns we wore for our high school graduation, and with our college acceptance letters securely filed away, my best friend Phil and I got in my parents’ 1968 Ford Galaxy and set out for the adventure of our lifetimes. In a few hours, we arrived at my aunt and uncle’s summer home in White Lake, New York, a two-mile walk from the field on Max Yasgur’s dairy farm where we’d spend 18 hours a day – from Friday, Aug. 15, through the early morning of Monday, Aug. 18 – enduring a pounding sun and intense heat and humidity through noontime, bouts of thunderous, torrential rain, bone-chilling nights and squalid mud and muck, all for the privilege of participating in one of the 20th century’s landmark moments.
For us, and some 400,000 others who were there, Woodstock was an unforgettable, magnificent milestone that may not have convinced us to drop everything and settle there permanently, like Texan Duke Devlin, who came and never left, but that did stay with us to this day, and whose influence on us shows no signs of letting up.
Bethel or Bust
As the golden anniversary approached, despite highly publicized plans by Michael Lang, the producer of the original festival, to hold a musical extravaganza called “Woodstock 50” in Watkins Glen, New York, Phil and I never wavered. For us it was always Bethel or bust; there was simply no separating the heart, soul, and spirit of Woodstock from the exquisitely perfect field in Bethel, New York, where those iconic “Three Days of Peace and Music” washed over us like baptismal water.
Michael Lang leaned that the hard way. Plans for his event at Watkins Glen went awry, and then he found a fallback site all the way down in Columbia, Maryland. That venture was canceled on July 31, after a series of snafus snuffed out Lang’s plans for good. Less than two weeks later, Phil had flown from LA and I had hopped an Amtrak train from Manhattan to Philadelphia, where our reunion would kick-off. After taking a nostalgic drive to visit our childhood in Levittown, Pennsylvania, we were soon packed and ready to get “back to the Garden.”
How Would We Feel, 50 Years Later?
The question that dogged us both was, what would we find there 50 years later? Although we’d returned multiple times for previous anniversaries and always felt the magic, we had not been back since, well, the turn of the 21st century. We knew that in 2016, a complex called Bethel Woods had been constructed on the site consisting of a Woodstock museum, amphitheater and performing arts pavilion. Would the keepers of the sacred site have “paved Paradise and put up a parking lot,” to Joni Mitchell’s line? Would they have destroyed the site’s inexplicable, spiritual essence, or would the place still possess the power to transport us back to that pivotal three-day period that marked the portal between our adolescence and adulthood?
EDITOR'S NOTE: SEE PART ONE OF THIS ARTICLE BELOW⤵︎ https://www.bizcatalyst360.com/how-will-i-feel-at-the-woodstock-50th-anniversary-reunion/  
With 30-plus years of intense professional life fresh behind us and our transition to later life recently underway, we got into a rented Camry and headed north. It took us five hours to travel 50 years.
Hallelujah!
When we arrived at the now manicured and carefully managed Bethel Woods, we found the historic, bowl-shaped field carpeted in healthy, green grass dotted with onlookers. Those who had not been there 50 years ago strained to grasp what it had been like. Those who had been there seemed to be groping with all their might to grasp a precious handful of Woodstock stardust from the air. I was one of them.
[caption id="attachment_116471" align="aligncenter" width="734"] The author (right) and his best friend at Woodstock anniversaries in 1989 and 2019. They regret not bringing a camera to the original festival in 1969.[/caption]
Phil distinguished himself as a knowledgeable, engaging and popular Woodstock guide. Armed with not only his first-hand experience but from having researched the subject every which way over an extended period, he held his listeners in thrall, recounting the route we walked to the field, the places we sat amid the throng on different days and bands that stood out for us as highlights.
The museum was better than we could have imaged. Devoted not just to Woodstock, but to capturing the historic and cultural essence of the ‘60s, it featured artifacts of the festival like the psychedelic, rainbow-colored bus that carried a contingent of hippies across the country to the festival; exhibits of the logos and artwork that lured rock music lovers and alternative lifestyle adherents from all directions; an assortment of videos covering various aspects of the event, its planning and divergent perspectives on it from pro and con neighbors and officials; and a minute-by-minute schedule of who played when.
Showtime
The 50th-anniversary performances spread out over four evenings, from Thursday through Sunday. The local paper said a hundred thousand people were expected overall. On the first evening, Arlo Guthrie played a wonderful set that I enjoyed more than the one he did 50 years ago. It was followed by a four-hour showing off an updated version of the classic Woodstock movie by Michael Wadleigh. Phil and I watched it on rented folding chairs under a clear and starry night.
The performances on Day 2 featured Blood, Sweat & Tears (minus the desperately needed David Clayton Thomas) and the musical virtuoso Edgar Winter, both of whom played at Woodstock 1, and the cartoonish Ringo Starr and his All Starr Band, who did not.
A Costly Misstep
Saturday, Day 3, was marred for Phil and me by the type of accident that we and most others managed to avoid the last time around. Among the countless restrictions enforced by the well-meaning but sometimes overbearing safety and forces was the prohibition of frisbees.
For Phil and me, who made a rousing Frisby rally one of the staples of our reunion visits to the field, this could not stand. However, neither could Phi after attempting a courageous, leaping catch of one of my throws – on a slope in front of where the stage once stood, no less. He landed awkwardly, landing hard on his right shoulder after taking a tumble. He broke his collar bone and had to be taken by ambulance to the Catskill Regional Medical Center, where he was fitted with a high-tech, Velcro sling. But no worries. We were back in our seats for Santana’s sold-out 50th-anniversary set, which was a phenomenal performance, punctuated by the simultaneous showing of clips from his famous, career-launching 1969 Woodstock set on screens while he played in sync below. (The Doobie Brothers, who suffered from the lack of Michael McDonald as much as Blood, Sweat & Tears missed Clayton Thomas, opened for Santana.)
The last night featured Grace Potter, a mistress of many rock genres but mastress of none; the redoubtable Tedeschi Trucks Band; and John Fogerty, whom I’d forgotten had such an extensive list of hits, and who more than impressed me by having the boundless to perform so many of them with such enthusiasm at 74.
Full Circle, Fresh Insight
At times I was almost painfully aware of how far apart our lives and experiences had diverged starting from the moment we left that shambolic field 50 years ago.
A fascinating phenomenon struck me in the course of the four days Phil and I were together in Bethel. At times I was almost painfully aware of how far apart our lives and experiences had diverged starting from the moment we left that shambolic field 50 years ago. At times I felt the tension and strain of so much separation and disparate influence: living on different coasts, and later living on different continents (I worked as an expat in Switzerland from 2001 through 2016); different professions (education for Phil, corporate communications for me); political views that put us on opposite sides of the center-left (me) and progressive left (Phil) divide; marriages that joined us intimately and inseparably with partners other than each other. And yet, at other times – particularly when we were taking in the performances and commenting to one another on the brilliance of the musicianship or the origins of the songs being played), I felt like no time had passed at all and we were joined once again, like the Siamese twins people saw us as in our youth.
In the end, I believe it was Woodstock that bonded us as brothers for life. From that experience, we entered the rest of our lives with core values that remain with us to this day. For both of us, there’s what seems to be the universal lesson of Woodstock: that in spite of treacherous conditions, and maybe even because of them, people can be at least civil and maybe even kind and generous to one another; for Phil, it’s also a reverence for the perseverance and endurance we needed to get through that experience. For me, it’s the skepticism about authority, the predisposition against rules that hinder me without offering an offsetting benefit, a reverence for honesty, integrity, and principle.
Coming full circle after the 50th anniversary, I’m convinced that life is amazing and totally unpredictable. Relationships are complicated and follow a winding rather than direct path. When I helped Phil through check-in for his flight back to LA, he hugged me hard and told me I was his brother. I felt the same. I guess that’s the way it will be until they spread our ashes, whenever and wherever that may be.
-Fifty years ago, fresh out of the caps and gowns we wore for our high school graduation, and with our college acceptance letters securely filed away, my best friend Phil and I got in my parents’ 1968 Ford Galaxy and set out for the adventure of our lifetimes. In a few hours, we arrived at […]- #@LIFECULTURE, #@STORYTELLING+, #SHOWCASEHOMEPAGE, #FEATURED, #MUSE-WORTHY -Martin D. Hirsch

iOS will soon disable USB connection if left locked for a week
In a move seemingly designed specifically to frustrate law enforcement, Apple is adding a security feature to iOS that totally disables data being sent over USB if the device isn’t unlocked for a period of 7 days. This spoils many methods for exploiting that connection to coax information out of the device without the user’s consent.
The feature, called USB Restricted Mode, was first noticed by Elcomsoft researchers looking through the iOS 11.4 code. It disables USB data (it will still charge) if the phone is left locked for a week, re-enabling it if it’s unlocked normally.
Normally when an iPhone is plugged into another device, whether it’s the owner’s computer or another, there is an interchange of data where the phone and computer figure out if they recognize each other, if they’re authorized to send or back up data, and so on. This connection can be taken advantage of if the computer being connected to is attempting to break into the phone.
USB Restricted Mode is likely a response to the fact that iPhones seized by law enforcement or by malicious actors like thieves essentially will sit and wait patiently for this kind of software exploit to be applied to them. If an officer collects a phone during a case, but there are no known ways to force open the version of iOS it’s running, no problem: just stick it in evidence and wait until some security contractor sells the department a 0-day.
But what if, a week after that phone was taken, it shut down its own Lightning port’s ability to send or receive data or even recognize it’s connected to a computer? That would prevent the law from ever having the opportunity to attempt to break into the device unless they move with a quickness.
On the other hand, had its owner simply left the phone at home while on vacation, they could pick it up, put in their PIN and it’s like nothing ever happened. Like the very best security measures, adversaries will curse its name while users may not even know it exists. Really, this is one of those security features that seems obvious in retrospect and I would not be surprised if other phone makers copy it in short order.
Inquiry finds FBI sued Apple to unlock phone without considering all options
Had this feature been in place a couple of years ago, it would have prevented that entire drama with the FBI. It milked its ongoing inability to access a target phone for months, reportedly concealing its own capabilities all the while, likely to make it a political issue and manipulate lawmakers into compelling Apple to help. That kind of grandstanding doesn’t work so well on a seven-day deadline.
It’s not a perfect solution, of course, but there are no perfect solutions in security. This may simply force all iPhone-related investigations to get high priority in courts, so that existing exploits can be applied legally within the seven-day limit (and, presumably, every few days thereafter). All the same, it should be a powerful barrier against the kind of eventual, potential access through undocumented exploits from third parties that seems to threaten even the latest models and OS versions.

Good no good. Yeah, we got a lot of questions so let’s go into that standby cuz I gotta try to find it.
Okay, so it looks like the first one is from Mike he says thanks for the great information I want to try to get back to you by mentioned that you have a good intro video but it has very high volume compared the video volume level hope it’s okay to say it. Thanks. That’s a good thing. Can you make a note of that too? Yeah, view that is you’re gonna try to edit our processes if that’s the case. So thank you for that, Mike. We do appreciate that.
URL Structure For Siloed Website
Next is a question. He says. What about strip the category base from category slug so it looks like a page site.com. Katie’s asking obviously about the URL structure for a siloed website. Because I’m Yeah, yes, he’s asking if he can use the restricted category slash post name out of the permalink structure for silo and absolutely you can just using post name premier link structure, it’s fine. It’s called a virtual silo works just as well as a regular siloed would Sorry, just bug does it in the face.
What Are Your Thoughts On Having A Syndicated Branded Network Using High Quality Spun Articles?
The next is vitality says hello Hope everyone is doing great. What are your thoughts on syndication network versus syndication network on the branding network using high quality spun articles readable that can this bring more SEO benefit? I mean, I know you don’t need to I would on your primary tier one branded network, you’re just going to be republishing content from your blog anyways, if that’s what you mean publishing spun articles to your blog, I would recommend now and recommend that instead, you would use curated content, it’s better content and creates co citation. And you don’t have to be a subject matter expert. You can just find other good content out there that you can grab snippets from and share we’ve got a product called content kingpin, which shows you exactly how to do that. That’s what I recommend is just going to read better it’s going to be more valuable. Produce more benefit than spun crappy articles would be if yes, what you mean. Marco, do you want to comment on that?
Marco: That’s exactly what I told him in the Facebook group, I just wanted him to come here. So that we could get go a little bit more in depth. And just to make sure that we hammered that home right that you’re doing, you’re way better off with curated content, citing sources and all of that versus just a crappy spun article that nobody knows what the hell is saying. One of the things that’s important here is that as your tier one brand, and you want it to look good, and if someone happens to come along to your tier one brand and you want that person possibly converting or getting into your funnel so that they end up on the website, and they end up in your sales funnel. And so what do you want that person to see in your tier one branded? Which is your brand amplified? Do you want them to see a crappy spun article that makes absolutely no sense or do you want to curate something that convert that person into a website visitor and perhaps a client or a customer. That’s the question that you need to ask.
What Are The Best Techniques To Let Google Recognize Entities?
Right on. So the next one is from Steve. He says, Hey SM team, what are the best techniques for getting Google to recognize entities? For those doing GMB or Google My Business? Google readily creates knowledge panels or me, or excuse me, MREIDs. But what about those working with the web properties? People products, etc? What can we do beyond schema and Id pages and the G stack? Getting a Wikipedia entry clearly works, but it’s very difficult for most gyms, taxis probably wouldn’t married a Wikipedia page, but it does, but gets in MREID through GMB. So, how do we level up the field for non GMB entities? Well, that sounds like a perfect question for Marco, I quickly would say that, you know, creating all of the syndication network and drive stack and all of that SEO shield including the ID page, all of it together is going to help having the structured data using sameas attributes is going to help. But there are other things that you can do, for example, have a paid account of some sort that helps to validate the entity as well. Meaning like pay Google for something AdWords campaigns, or, you know, Google Ads campaigns or for extra drive storage, all of the above, a G Suite account, something like that. But Marco, what else can you add to that?
Marco: Now, you just went over exactly what he supposed to do. If you can’t go in and get a verified GMB, which has a completed was not the complete entity in Google, because you can add social media and all these other things. Then what you need to do is you go in and you verify it another way and the best way that I know is getting that credit card on file, whether it’s a company credit card, a personal credit card, where you’re directly related to the company. What that’s going to do is it turns you into into Google’s customer, right other than a mage, and elite, and someone who is just abusing services, rather than payment, it gets that credit card on file. And what happens is, you know, yeah, you can have fake credit cards or whatever. But but that belongs to someone, it’s a thing. Then, on the web, it’s it’s in their database. It belongs to a person, but it belongs to a company. So you just went a long way towards validating the fact that you’re real. You’re not just another mooch, another leech, then you do everything else that we recommend. Absolutely. The schema, the @ID amplify it through the drive stack plus Gsite, press releases, I mean, companies do that on a regular basis, they announced their news, and then link building to all of those to just help to solidify everything. That’s what’s going to get you when you can’t get a GMB and Google understands that then there’s other way, getting into all of the different data aggregates.
Bradley: crunchbase would also be a good one.
Marco: crunchbase is perfect, but I was going to also say wiki data because Google is drawing directly from wiki data, you say that Wikipedia isn’t feasible, or sometimes it would merit. But your company wouldn’t merit a Wikipedia entry, a Wikipedia page, about the company and about everything that it does. So you pay someone to get you on Wikipedia, you pay someone to get your Wiki data. I just as interesting as I just posted to my partners this morning, about getting into Wikipedia, wiki data, for Semantic Mastery, because I know a guy that does it and his prices are really, really good. So that’s absolutely you get everywhere. That RankBrain goes to aggregate data about your entity about your thing, and make sure that it’s consistent throughout citations. I can’t remember if you mentioned citations, but that’s a perfect way. citations are a really good way. It doesn’t have to be just for local. It can just be your company. Right?
Can You Share Some Basic Guidelines For Link Building?
Right on next one is Mike. Mike says hello everyone. Can you please share some basic guidelines about backlinks specifically about the text when doing backlinks? When to use exact match keywords for anchor text link or my brand anchor text when writing a small post or short reply on forums, what information you suggest to include in the text and what links? Okay, there’s a lot of questions squeezed into this one, Mike.
So on a kind of a broad level. Personally, I don’t really sweat backlink ratios as far as anchor text ratio is like I used two years ago because I mainly just do everything through naked URLs and like any other any real backlinks that are going to be built are going to be built by my team and MGYB by Dadea. And he knows what to do. You just provide them with your seat set of keywords and he creates all the ratios to where I don’t really bother with it because I don’t really build my links outside of what we have him do.
But really, I use mainly when I’m doing like press releases, for example, because I do publish a lot of press releases, it’s almost 90%, just naked URLs, do brand anchors, and very rarely actually use any keyword anchor text, because it’s not really now off page, I mean, on page, that’s a different story. So, you know, you want to have, if you have content silos on page, you want to make sure that you’re linking through the content, you know, to daisy chain things together using variations of keywords that belong in that specific silo, but not always the same page because or, excuse me, the same keyword anchor. But as far as, you know, link building or blogging even in by the way, when you do that, if you’re syndicating content to a network, it’s going to make sure that you’re not always hammering and getting External links from even your syndication network, your branded network, always pointing back with the same anchor text. That’s why you want to do that.
But once again, you also have all those keywords that we add the same type of keywords that we would add to a drive stack build would be the ones that we would add to the link building campaign. And it’s a way to just continue to push relevancy in at different tiers. There’s different sets of rules as to what you can do as far as anchor text ratios, right. So again, I just hand that over to Dadea and he handles all of it. You want to add to that? Anybody?
Adam: Not to that, but to the next part, so
Marco: Okay, yeah, yeah, that first part generic naked, and brand anchors, right? Yeah. Because what we want to do is what we want to create link diversity. Once you have that, then it’s a lot more powerful when you hit it with that with that with whatever anchor text it is that the broad right and then you can go really eating hone in on the exact match, because your your link diversity is going to withstand some exact match anchors. If you don’t do that, though, if you don’t get those generic naked brand anchors and whatever you can in there, then what’s going to happen is you’re going to get it totally unnatural over optimization problems. And if you if you raise enough red flags that way, it could cause a manual which is when you get into all kinds of problems.
Bradley: Yeah, you’re gonna do it,
Adam: the tech you were writing a small post or a short reply in the forums, what information do you suggest including the text and what links? For me, I mean, I start out by saying that, you know, it’s, it’s too vague, but if you’re just doing this, I look at this as you probably want to look at it more from Hey, what information makes sense and if you’re doing this for an actual strategy, that you’re putting information out there, that increases the likelihood that your post is going to get traffic which I understand sounds kind of goofy, but for a forum that it’s it’s well received, right? And basically, I’m saying quality you know, don’t just say I’ve got to include x y&z you know, if you’re going in here and doing this for a long term strategy, I would say make sure you’re putting out quality information.
Bradley: Not only that, but if you really want to know how to test what type of a text and link to use as your best link for a forum signature tested in AdWords like search, you know what I’m saying? Because if you can get your headline, and you know your brief description and and the link and the offer to convert on through AdWords, and that’s what you put in your forum signature, and you’ll probably have a lot more likelihood of it doing well. I mean, it’s, it’s because you could test it quicker as my point other than trying to have some signature line that really isn’t very compelling, it doesn’t convert very well. And you have to wait for weeks or months to get any results to determine that, right? Because you’ve done a lot of posts, you can really kind of hone that in very quickly using AdWords or Google ads, and then add those to your forum signatures, if that makes sense.
Okay, anything else? Is it better to link to most of the times the homepage or a specific service product page? hope it’s not too complex of a question was a lot of questions you squeeze in there. I think it depends on what your call to action is within the content that you’re using for the link building. Right. I think it makes sense to link to the homepage at times, but also to more specific.
You also, you know, more specific product and or service pages. However, you also got to keep in mind, like, what is the purpose of the content that you’re doing and the overall strategy for that campaign? Because if you’re trying to push, you know, specific, a specific keyword like for particular siloed, for example, you can hit any one of the pieces of content within that silo, which you would call a deep link, because it’s not going to matter if you have the dawn page structured correct, which is what we talked about a lot in the mastermind, then anywhere that you’re going to hit that particular silo with, you know, inbound link, equity, it’s going to benefit the entire siloed. Right, so you wouldn’t want to comment on that anybody good or no? I would just say, Well, no, sorry. No, as a general strategy, he should be probably looking at distributing backlinks through his inner period.
Adam: But yeah, beyond that, like Bradley said, it just depends on again, what you’re, what you’re referencing, or what exactly you’re doing, but you definitely want to distribution
Bradley: Yeah, yeah, I mean, in other words, you don’t want to just always hammer one or the other. Does that make sense? You want you do want to split it up and spread it out. Crazy be we can have it.
Marco: Well, what matters here is how the website is set up, right? Right setting up the whole the homepage to convert, or are you setting up a category right pages as categories or categories as pages where you’re looking to push your silo through your supporting poles, and then that top market level category is going to be what you’re trying to rank because that’s where you want people to convert, actually, you want people to convert all along the way. But just to be sure on the question, if your link building to an inner page, right, then you make sure that you have it set up so that you’re pushing that top market level category up, because that’s what’s going to bring all of the other keywords with it. It doesn’t make sense to only link build to the homepage, if what you’re trying to rank results somewhere on an inner page in the category or in a post, or maybe it’s a lander, within the website, it all has to do with how everything is set up, how your website is set up. Should be how you direct your link building.
Bradley: Awesome. Thanks, man.
Adam: Sorry, real quick. I’ve got to bring this up now. So Wayne has a question for you. It’s the most recent one. But says Bradley, Your voice sounds very different today. Is this part of the new makeover for Hump Day hangouts to make it more sexy? Okay, thanks, Wayne. I’m not really sure how to answer that one. Yeah, let’s take a compliment. Yeah, just couldn’t we have to read that? Alright,
How Long Before You Can See The Results Of Battle Plan 3.0?
so next one is I have been following the Battle Plan 3.0 for a GMB asset. It’s been about two weeks since I followed steps one and two of the plan. How long before I find out the results? I don’t know if I’m facing stiff competition or middle of the road competition. How long do I have to wait before I hit it again? I did. I didn’t want to read set the G algorithm Thanks. Okay, um, put all the pieces together. You know, that’s what we talked about, if you use the Battle Plan, it’s not a, if you just do 25% of the work, you won’t get 25% of the results, if that makes sense, because you put all the pieces together and it has a more like a, an exponential effect, if you will. So it will work a lot better if you put all of the components together to create that entity loop or that SEO shield, whatever you want to call it. So if one and two if you put one in two pieces together or completed steps one and two, and you know, you know, complete the next steps to and I wouldn’t stop until all that entire asset creation. You know that SEO shield is really put together. So we’re going to be talking a lot more about that in the coming weeks for some of the stuff that we’ve got coming up. But Marco, do you want to add to that? I think he’s muted.
Marco: Sorry. I do want to talk about this a little bit? Because something about this really stands out to me. And I don’t want to pick on him, because I see that he’s just beginning. It’s following the Battle Plan. He’s in step two. But dude, how can you not know your competition? If you’re just starting out? Like sometimes when you get to the point where you know how much power you can push, when you know exactly what you’re doing, then the competition doesn’t matter. It’s just a matter of what you’re going to do to take the competition down. You’re at the start so you have to do thorough competition analysis to know exactly how much power it is that you’re going to need to push. Because a lot of this, you might do too much, and it might not be necessary, or you may be doing too little and more might be necessary. So I mean, you have to know what are people paying for AdWords in this niche? Google ads, how much are they paying? are they paying for Facebook ads, YouTube ads, other ads? How many competing pages does it have? Is it in the 2000s? Is it in the millions but singles is it in the 10s of millions is that in the hundreds of millions? Once you have all of that together, you’ll know exactly how tough and how stiff the competition is and then you’ll know exactly what to do. But the plan is still the same right syndication network, drive stack plus Gsite, press releases link building, and then embed runs and link building. And then you you do all of that before you start analyzing the data and seeing where your project has landed in rank. Because you’ll see that different keywords rank differently, different niches rank differently. So you have to know whether you need to isolate one of your market level keywords one of your top keywords that may be stuck second, third page, you may have to isolate that and hit that individually. Once you’ve done everything.
So without completing everything part one of the plan, as Bradley said, finish everything first. Once you do that link building one which it which is which is the final piece, you let it sit 21 days, four weeks, and then you come back and analyze the data and see what it is that you have to do. But guys starting out, when you’re starting in this, it’s a must for you to be able to analyze the competition and understand what it is that you’re up against. Because whether it’s you investing your money, or whether you’re investing your clients’ money you have what you’re going to spend your money on, and how much of it.
Adam: Yeah, and I’m not going to be able to get the quote right, Marco, maybe you can help me but this reminds me of what you said, might have been during your talk of POFU Live, but basically like Sun Tzu and the art of war and saying you want to come to the battle knowing you’re already going to win and you can’t do that. If you don’t know what your competition is.
Marco: You have to know that you’re going to win the war before you fight the first battle. I’m paraphrasing because I can’t remember the exact quote of him but but it’s along those lines. How can you know whether you going into you know, you can’t go blind into battle I might a bow and arrow and I’m going up against how it’s all right. I’m going up against a nuclear missile that well I’m not going to do very very well. So once once you lay it all out, and you’re absolutely right, it is war. And you understand your enemy your competition is your enemy always. And you know exactly what it is that you have to do to take down your enemy Well, you you win the war and you haven’t done and think about it all you’ve done is study the enemy. It was I love Sun Tzu and thank you. That’s awesome.
Is It Possible To Target National Keywords By Using Verified GMBs?
Alright, so the next one says Is it possible to target national keywords by using verified GMBs? So are gonna hand that one over to you because I know you talked about different strategies for that kind of stuff. He’s got an example a follow up question next. So again, is it possible to target national keywords by using verified GMB? For example, a long tail keyword like how to lose weight?
Marco: This isn’t totally an independent, it depends question. Yeah, what is it that you’re that you’re trying to do because one thing is local. And what you’re targeting is the proximity factor and then overriding the proximity factor so that you can get into outlying areas and target those. You can totally do that. You can totally extend the centroid and somebody was just somebody who guys who was in our local GMB Pro just came out with extending the centroid in in his own training his own original train, and I’m not going there. I’m just saying what the fuck man? But yes, you can extend the century and there are different ways that we can for extending the century, so you can totally do it, you’re going to need a whole lot of GMBs.
Because in a place like like New York City, Chicago, LA, you’re going to need to push a lot of power inside inside just I’m going to get one GMB do a whole bunch of pose, and then that’s going to get me where I need to go. It Again, it depends on the competition. Now, if it’s a national keyword, like cosmetic manufacturer, and there’s no location, like you don’t need to use location, there’s nothing location based. Why would you target it with a GMB? Other than to create like a national headquarters for the brand, but that would be branding. That wouldn’t be so so this is this question is kind of confusing. Yes. I don’t know about you guys. Because because they were talking about two different things here. And maybe what what you what you’re trying but what you’re thinking is you want to become the knowledge panel for the keywords. Well, that’s brand plus keyword association. And I think Fabian is in RYS Academy Reloaded and we teach that all day long we we should we show how to do that? I mean, we’ve been doing it for a while will be going in five years and mates and says Bradley ranked is Virginia SEO, SEO Virginia? So yes, it can be done. It depends on what you’re trying to do.
All right, but I’ll take you to the next question lockout Marco, you guys. It’s like back and forth. Is it? Yeah, so I totally said what I meant if or is maybe hosting original content on the money site, but on the branding network, instead of syndicating content, hosting high quality spun versions of posts from money site. Best regards? No, I mean, there’s no reason to. That’s what I’m saying. Like if it’s your branding, network, your branded network, then there’s no reason that you would need do post spunversions of your money site post because I’ve just republished the money site posts again, I don’t recommend using spun content as any on page or any first tier link building stuff, because it’s just not a good idea to do that now it’s even if it’s high quality spun stuff, which I guess you can still get away with that if it’s done very, very well. Okay, cool.
Will An Existing (Non-Semantic Mastery) GSite And Drive Stack Interfere With The Ones Being Built By MGYB?
Next one, Katie says Hey guys, I was talking to a dentist about his SEO he told me his son was doing it but he was getting nowhere I spoke to the son and he told me he bought some gigs on Fiverr for Google sites and drive files I told the dentist you get what you pay for. And then I may be able to help do it properly. Can I go to MGYB and by G site and drive stack for this one or is it too late? Well, the current g sites are drive stack his son setup interfere with the one MGYB would build. I don’t think the sun will let me delete all of the work he has done. Thanks.
Well, I’ll let Marco also answer on this one but I would absolutely get a new drive stack and G site that is built correctly. Which will likely the other one because the other one was not put together properly. So it’s not really pushing any relevancy or entity validation, if that makes sense. So once it’s done right, that would be the one that would come be associated with your entity because it will be done correctly. But Marco, what would you say was is it critical that the other one would be removed or deleted?
Marco: No it won’t matter and as a matter of fact what what you could do is add those satellites to push into the new drive stack was decide that we’re going to create for for you which is done right, then you can link building to all of those which is only going to help I mean, it’s not gonna hurt. Absolutely not. But you what you do need is that is that friend that drive stack empty site created my way, not somebody else’s way. Because they always skip corners. They never do the work that they’re supposed to think about. And I’ve said this before, it takes between six and eight hours for a train building. Jessen, by the way that the original RYS to do one and do it properly. Someone was going to charge you, maybe, I don’t know, 50 bucks. And they’re going to spend six hours, maybe eight hours building and drive stack? No, no, it’s not gonna happen. The money just isn’t there, right for five bucks. 10 bucks, 15 bucks. We charge what we charge for a reason. You and you’re absolutely right that and when I saw this, I couldn’t believe it you do get what you pay for. And if you go to Fiverr sometimes you’ve got some really good gigs in there that do a specific thing. But when you’re talking about pushing power, the Rank Your Shit Academy Reloaded me. There’s only one way to do it. You go with the original.
I agree. Yeah, this one I would probably be careful if I was in this position, because now I’m thinking okay, there’s someone else in there. So this to me goes back to managing client expectations and saying, Well, now there’s a son who’s got, you know, backend access to everything. So you might want to be managing to him. The son’s involved and he’s screwing around with stuff on that I don’t know about then, you know, I can’t be held responsible for some of this stuff. Yeah. working against our goals, so I’d be careful with it.
Okay, moving on the next one. See, I’m trying to find a guy stand by me. I think Jordan had a good one. He said mastermind plus sub mastermind group equals the cat’s meow. I totally agree with that. It’s not a question but I like it.
Do You Work With Third Party Syndication Networks And Stacks That Are Not Setup Correctly?
Okay, so the next question I see is I have questions about your done for you service syndication and stacks. I’ve had other vendors create those before but don’t think they were set up correctly. I see a theme here any any any problem with having you do them again? No, actually, that’s the best thing to do is just come on, come get it done correctly. And then you can analyze the ones that we’ve built for you versus the ones that you got from other vendors and, you know, figure out what was done wrong and apply it to the old ones. Yeah, yeah.
That idea. So yeah, that’s what I would do, because that’s what a lot of people, I mean, see that I go by RYS Academy. And that way you can go through the training and then you can understand what was done and then go fix the ones but again, your time is best spent on just purchasing them and letting somebody else do all that manual work, right.
Do You Create One Google Stack For Each Service Offering URL?
So the next one is Nathan says, when you build these stacks for people I know you ask them for the main keyword However, what if they offer multiple services? Do you create one g stack for each URL? For example, the company that offered HVAC and plumbing services do you create a stack for each URL or service offering a company slash and he went through several examples now, I mean, you can but another way to do it is to have a brand stack created, which is what we do. We recommend for whatever your primary keyword is or keywords, top level keywords, and then from there, once you get it back, and at some point, we’re going to provide this as an additional service, but once you get the branded drive stack back, you can go in and clone the folders that are contained in the the primary drive stack folder, and then re optimize that it does require some manual work, but for each one of your silos or product services or categories on your site, so that way, you’re mirroring your internal files from the drive stack inside of a branded and overall branded Drive folder. So again, you’re just building that relevancy, you’re going to mirror the same type of site structure that you have on your website into your drive stack. It does require some manual work. But the most important thing is to have that branded drive stack with the top-level keywords associated with that brand. So that makes sense. And Marco, do you want to come in on that?
Marco: No, that’s what I would have said. No, we’re not going to create both. If you submit HVAC, and if you submit plumbing, and you, you asked us to do keyword research, we’re going to give you everything that’s related to that. If nothing you have to do your own keyword research and submit the keywords that you want related to your brand which as Bradley said, we asked for about 50 and go for top keywords. Don’t go for the long tails, the long tails you’re going to get as you build it out as you build your supporting post and as you build your inner pages and you mirror your G site is up your money site on on the G site. But Bradley just so you guys know and I just got the news yesterday we’re testing the drive stack and G site as we speak. It’s coming right it’s gonna make it a lot easier. And right now like if he wants to make it easier on himself and clone, the drive stacks, then what he can do is he can make a donation to my charity and then right to Christie for the webinars right through charity webinars for last year and the scripts, and I’ll put the link to the donation. That’s awesome. Thank you.
And I’m not seeing any other questions you guys see any more? No will give people a minute here and I know that there’s a little bit of a delay here. There’s not much delay through zoom though.
So um, I did see a question in YouTube here. I said we’re in Colorado, we’re still in Denver, Colorado. Yeah, we’re a very short period. So what is the URL if people want to get the early bird discount for next year POFU Live go to pofulive.com/2022. I’m pulling up to make sure I’m not lying, pofulive.com/2020 and make sure you use the coupon code 2020 or 2020 action taker. Yeah. That’s going to be the lowest price ever. Oh, yeah. It definitely was a good event. I thought it was really good. Well, actually, let’s touch on that.
Real quick we got a few minutes we can wait for some questions here I want to share with people so we had Catherine Jones. So if you haven’t seen her you can probably get search for CF design school Semantic Mastery, check out a webinar we had with her, she dropped some good knowledge for everybody. Especially a lot of the people, they’re growing their agencies growing their consulting and you know, she taught them and us about funnel design but not just you know, hey, me do this to make your funnel look pretty. But you know, it’s about converting, not being pretty. And then how you can do this and how in a short period of time, you can create these things that you know, you can really crush it in terms of selling to clients or adding it onto your agency. So that was pretty cool. I don’t guys have anything else to say about Katherine’s presentation I was gonna get and then Adam Benjamin was another one of our guest speakers. That was great guys got a ton of sales experience. This was really cool talking to him getting some insights about basically kind of brand positioning, which tied in really well with what her non talked about about just one second.
Part of an audience presentation was about personal branding. And then how you can help yourself basically by growing yourself as an authority and it’s not some, you know, 25 step crazy, you know, diagram you got to follow to do this it was it was pretty simple, but combining that with what I think Adam said would be really powerful, so cool
What Was The Biggest Takeaway That You Can Share From POFU 2019?
Wayne says what was the biggest takeaway that you can share from POFU Live 2019? Uh, did you should go to pofulive.com/2020 and Wayne because what we want to see you there, and to you know, I’m not dodging the question, I’ll let these guys answer it. But like we’ve told people and like all of the testimonial say when we just ask people, hey, what do you want to share about Cooper life? You know, hey, content was great. It took something away immediately that paid for it. But on top of that, it’s you know, interacting with people, and that’s what you get out of a small group. So whether it’s us whether it’s a guest speakers, or whether it’s each other and saying, Oh, you know what, I have not been doing this one little thing or, you know, you open my eyes to a whole new area. I could either be doing for myself doing for clients stuff like that. But that’s consistently what we’ve heard. Yeah.
Hernan: Yeah, I think so too. If I can add real quick, I think that as digital marketing, or digital agency owners, most of the people that come to POFU Live there, they spend most of their time alone, right? They might have a couple of VAs, they might have small team, but most of them are remote, right? So come in here and being in a room for three days with people that have kind of the same ideas that you have. And some of them might be, you know, even ahead than you and some of them you might help to get to the point where you are right now, I think that that’s one of the best things that can possibly happen to an entrepreneur or digital agency owner. So yeah, yeah.
Bradley: And on a purely SEO basis, I want to say that it was awesome to hear how just putting the SEO shield together, the way that we teach works across the board, and you know, here in that for some several hours remembers that POFU Live to talk about how it’s like the cheat code. so it’s awesome because it’s validation beyond. I mean, we all knew it worked anyways. But it’s really good to hear when members actually take our advice and put it together the way that we teach. And then they get the same kind of results. And so that to me, was a very great takeaway to know that we’ve got something that’s been working for us for years that continues to work beyond updates to or through or despite of updates, you know what I mean? So it’s just very encouraging to see that. Yeah.
Adam: So Wayne, that popped into answer your question for myself, I think, you know, the biggest takeaway looking for something like either tactical or real world was Rob got up. Rob gave a great, great presentation and then he hopped on the whiteboard. And right and that’s where the magic happens. And so went through stuff, but he’s going to be sharing that with people in Bradley already mentioned SEO shield, and exactly what people can do. And basically taking the Battle Plan, combining it with what’s been done already and what will come in MGYB, and saying you now here’s what you got to do. So again, not to use it, but it’s on its way out. And I will share it with everybody as soon as we have something. Marco: I’d like to answer Wayne’s question because my biggest takeaway, not only this year, but also last year, is that the people who come to us, the action takers, they generally have already have everything as SEO wise that they need to get results. Because we’ve been proving it since since we started that when you implement what we give you, you get results. Now, what I often see and in my mini mastermind and in doing this for so long, is that people simply get stuck. I mean, it’s a joke, right? Don’t get stuck in the middle, but are you getting the middle of the big fat fuck you.
But it’s true guys. Do you want to finger prodding you in the middle? When you’re not doing anything? Is that what you’re really looking for? Or are you constantly going to go taking action and doing the things that you need to do to get to where you want to be. Because it’s not being where you have to be. That sucks. It sucks having to be somewhere and having to do something. But when you want to do it, and you like to do it, even if it’s something that you know you have to do, to continue on that path to POFU, it’s fulfilling. And you don’t get all of these different things joining and pulling you away. Because you’re hyper focus, you know that you can get results. We give them to you, we give you everything. You can come and reach out to us personally and we’ll answer your questions. We’ll do everything we can to help you make money, but we still have people stuck in the middle even mastermind members, we have people stuck in the middle, because they won’t do the shit that they’re supposed to do to be successful.
And so one of the things that you need to do to be successful is get with like minded people, and the only way you’re going to do that is by attending these events. And I don’t I don’t mean the bullshit events where you’re going to have hundreds of people. And you know you, you do that for networking. More than anything you do that to see how you’re going to make money and when and where do it do that. But when you really want to get with like minded people who are hyper focus on making money, that’s what you need to be in one of these events, the real ones, the ones where you get the gritty living by the ones where you get down to business, down with brass tacks and you get what you’re supposed to get so that you can continue making money.
Adam: definitely, hey, real quick got some questions on YouTube. I want to answer before we hop to the next question, which I love and click SEO. But first of all, Brian Kato says what’s up guys? Hey, good to meet you, man.
Do You Do Stacks For Dating Sites?
And then also another Brian was asking do you guys do stacks for dating sites. We don’t believe we have any restrictions. I mean, I don’t have I don’t think that crosses any lines for us building stacks, right?
Yeah, yeah. Because a lot of those can have things like male enhancement, and it depends on the affiliate that you’re running. We’re not going to do any of that, but I’m not gonna have my people don’t do any Yeah, we just don’t do it. So we don’t get them. Brian and you’re watching this just email [email protected]. To tell them what your actual like what your keywords are, and they’ll write Marco they’ll be able to tell them from that whether or not they can build it, right. So no doubt No, no pharma, gambling. I don’t know. It’s epic. Guys. It has to be in English. Don’t ask us to do Hungarian because that’s the one and the money that we have to target to do a one of is not feasible.
Can You Build An Agency Just By Outsourcing To Whitelabels?
Yeah. I so click SEO as the next one, he says or she says can you build an agency just outsourcing to white labels? Yeah, you certainly can. I like good. Jordan Fowler followed up. He’s one of our mastermind members and very successful but agency owner. And so and I agree very much with what he said, and that is that you can but you have to understand what it is that you’re talking about for when you do get questions, or at least be honest and say that you’ll get the answer if you don’t have it, you know, whatever the case may be, you want to make sure that you’re not talking at a on with ignorance to a potential customer or client with, you know, without being able to answer the questions, and it’s something that you can learn as you go, depending on what all your service offerings are, you know, we were going to be talking a lot about that in the coming weeks or coming months for for, you know, different things that you can do to build an agency without you have to do all of the work. And so I think it’s important to understand the concepts, the foundation of it, then then from there, you can you know, you can learn how to best manage questions and such for each one of the services depending on what kind of also confidence level you have in your done for you service providers. Does that make sense? Yeah. So anybody want to comment on now I think we’re understanding just the basic Six at least I mean, at a minimum, but you know, I, this may not be a great analogy. I’m doing this on the fly, but I was like, can you own? Maybe a few automotive repair shops and not be a mechanic? Sure. Is it going to benefit you greatly to understand the business you’re in? Yeah, you know, better. So I’ll leave it at that. But I know Markco has got some more to say, well, we make it simple, right? We not only provide the services that you need them for you to, to get everything that you need to do for the client. But if you join the mastermind, then you get access to us so that if you run into tough questions, you can just come back, excuse me, come ask us. How do I answer this question? client asked me this. I need an answer what I say and we’ll give you an answer. And we’ve simplified every we boil it down to make it so simple. That I I think that people think that our simplicity means that it doesn’t work. And it’s just the other way around as people make it so complex, that they need to confuse you because it confuse, they can keep making money from. We want it we want to boil all that shit away all that garbage. All we want is that pure rock we want. We want that good.
Guys, that’s what because when we have that when we when we simplify it, that’s what really works. And that’s why this is this is so good in the way that we’ve set it all up for you to come and take advantage of it. It just rocks and all you have to do is join the mastermind. I mean, it’s so simple. I don’t know why more people don’t don’t do it. Maybe I don’t I don’t know doubters doubting Thomases, whatever it is, get past it, because you need to make so much money.
Cool. Thank you. Alright, so we’re almost Well, we still got about 10 minutes. Well, I think we’re gonna have to end it a couple minutes early, right? Yeah, cuz I know we’re streaming through yours. Oh, no.
What Else Can You Do To Improve The Rank Of A Website Aside From Having GMB Drive Stack, 3 Press Releases, And Aged Site?
Fitz says I have a site that is showing 27 Google console page three on main keyword manual search number one main keyword on GMB, drive stack, three press releases, aged site, what can I do to improve? I don’t know, because that was kind of a word salad at the end there. I’m not really sure what you were saying. But as far as if you’ve got a page three, excuse me keywords on page three in Search Console, it means that they’re closed with some proper maybe on page or maybe some supporting articles that through the same silo that would link to those that page specifically syndicated across your network, for example, that’s going to help to kind of reinforce the theme for that particular post. Again, this is all provided that you have proper on page if your structures poor on page, then it’s going to be difficult to push, but it will respond to so much better to these cut type of tactics if you have good good structure, good internal linking. So doing that syndicating to their you know, maybe adding some additional Drive files within a particular, you know, siloed Drive folder that would do the same thing link back to those posts, the supporting posts that were linking to, to kind of boost that the posts on that are showing up with the keywords, the pages that are showing up on page three, that kind of stuff. Those are all things that you can do. also getting traffic to them, either through organic means or through buying way to traffic to those new posts that have been created is going to help to kind of activate all of that stuff. So, I mean, obviously, you know, just all the stuff we talked about mirror that same sort of paid page or post on a G site. Once again, you can even iframe it in there. That’s all the stuff we get into in RYS Academy. Marco, do you have any comments on that?
Marco: Yeah, GMB post silos.
Bradley: Okay. Yeah, you gotta GMB. It says your, your, your question their Fitz. So yeah, you can silo those together as well. Use press releases press release silo stalking. We talked about that recently, too. It’s on our YouTube channel. So once again, you just got a mirror all that stuff through all the different assets that you have available. Okay, then link link below to all that. And once that’s done, you take it, you take you take all that and you run an embed gig and you link build to all that and then see where it see where it sits after that.
Hernan: nice.
Adam: You know, I just thought back to something where Wayne was asking us and you know, I realized I don’t think we mentioned that. Everyone here, you know, that asked about link building and embeds, you’ve got to talk to dead. Yeah. And for the people who know who that is, or has heard the him mentioned, he was at POFU Live two years in a row from India, flew over and pay for his ticket came over and joined us and today this time he’s dropping some bombs did a case study was helping people out? That was really cool. It was just really good to see. Yeah, yeah, it was awesome. People appreciate it. So Wayne, that was another one that was cool because I know you know who he is. And for other people who who may think you know, he’s just somebody exists out in the internet like real deal came to down and joined us the second year in a row was all sounds awesome. That’s great. Well, listen, I don’t see any other questions. So I think it’s time we can wrap it up a few minutes early guys. So we want to say hi again from Dubai from Denver, Semantic Mastery from Denver except for Marco but we piped him in as usual. So we’ll see you guys next week. See you guys

Okay, so it looks like the first one is from Mike he says thanks for the great information I want to try to get back to you by mentioned that you have a good intro video but it has very high volume compared the video volume level hope it’s okay to say it.

URL Structure For Siloed Website
Next is a question. He says. What about strip the category base from category slug so it looks like a page site.com. Katie’s asking obviously about the URL structure for a siloed website. Because I’m Yeah, yes, he’s asking if he can use the restricted category slash post name out of the permalink structure for silo and absolutely you can just using post name premier link structure, it’s fine. It’s called a virtual silo works just as well as a regular siloed would Sorry, just bug does it in the face.
What Are Your Thoughts On Having A Syndicated Branded Network Using High Quality Spun Articles?
The next is vitality says hello Hope everyone is doing great. What are your thoughts on syndication network versus syndication network on the branding network using high quality spun articles readable that can this bring more SEO benefit? I mean, I know you don’t need to I would on your primary tier one branded network, you’re just going to be republishing content from your blog anyways, if that’s what you mean publishing spun articles to your blog, I would recommend now and recommend that instead, you would use curated content, it’s better content and creates co citation. And you don’t have to be a subject matter expert. You can just find other good content out there that you can grab snippets from and share we’ve got a product called content kingpin, which shows you exactly how to do that. That’s what I recommend is just going to read better it’s going to be more valuable. Produce more benefit than spun crappy articles would be if yes, what you mean. Marco, do you want to comment on that?
Marco: That’s exactly what I told him in the Facebook group, I just wanted him to come here. So that we could get go a little bit more in depth. And just to make sure that we hammered that home right that you’re doing, you’re way better off with curated content, citing sources and all of that versus just a crappy spun article that nobody knows what the hell is saying. One of the things that’s important here is that as your tier one brand, and you want it to look good, and if someone happens to come along to your tier one brand and you want that person possibly converting or getting into your funnel so that they end up on the website, and they end up in your sales funnel. And so what do you want that person to see in your tier one branded? Which is your brand amplified? Do you want them to see a crappy spun article that makes absolutely no sense or do you want to curate something that convert that person into a website visitor and perhaps a client or a customer. That’s the question that you need to ask.
What Are The Best Techniques To Let Google Recognize Entities?
Right on. So the next one is from Steve. He says, Hey SM team, what are the best techniques for getting Google to recognize entities? For those doing GMB or Google My Business? Google readily creates knowledge panels or me, or excuse me, MREIDs. But what about those working with the web properties? People products, etc? What can we do beyond schema and Id pages and the G stack? Getting a Wikipedia entry clearly works, but it’s very difficult for most gyms, taxis probably wouldn’t married a Wikipedia page, but it does, but gets in MREID through GMB. So, how do we level up the field for non GMB entities? Well, that sounds like a perfect question for Marco, I quickly would say that, you know, creating all of the syndication network and drive stack and all of that SEO shield including the ID page, all of it together is going to help having the structured data using sameas attributes is going to help. But there are other things that you can do, for example, have a paid account of some sort that helps to validate the entity as well. Meaning like pay Google for something AdWords campaigns, or, you know, Google Ads campaigns or for extra drive storage, all of the above, a G Suite account, something like that. But Marco, what else can you add to that?
Marco: Now, you just went over exactly what he supposed to do. If you can’t go in and get a verified GMB, which has a completed was not the complete entity in Google, because you can add social media and all these other things. Then what you need to do is you go in and you verify it another way and the best way that I know is getting that credit card on file, whether it’s a company credit card, a personal credit card, where you’re directly related to the company. What that’s going to do is it turns you into into Google’s customer, right other than a mage, and elite, and someone who is just abusing services, rather than payment, it gets that credit card on file. And what happens is, you know, yeah, you can have fake credit cards or whatever. But but that belongs to someone, it’s a thing. Then, on the web, it’s it’s in their database. It belongs to a person, but it belongs to a company. So you just went a long way towards validating the fact that you’re real. You’re not just another mooch, another leech, then you do everything else that we recommend. Absolutely. The schema, the @ID amplify it through the drive stack plus Gsite, press releases, I mean, companies do that on a regular basis, they announced their news, and then link building to all of those to just help to solidify everything. That’s what’s going to get you when you can’t get a GMB and Google understands that then there’s other way, getting into all of the different data aggregates.
Bradley: crunchbase would also be a good one.
Marco: crunchbase is perfect, but I was going to also say wiki data because Google is drawing directly from wiki data, you say that Wikipedia isn’t feasible, or sometimes it would merit. But your company wouldn’t merit a Wikipedia entry, a Wikipedia page, about the company and about everything that it does. So you pay someone to get you on Wikipedia, you pay someone to get your Wiki data. I just as interesting as I just posted to my partners this morning, about getting into Wikipedia, wiki data, for Semantic Mastery, because I know a guy that does it and his prices are really, really good. So that’s absolutely you get everywhere. That RankBrain goes to aggregate data about your entity about your thing, and make sure that it’s consistent throughout citations. I can’t remember if you mentioned citations, but that’s a perfect way. citations are a really good way. It doesn’t have to be just for local. It can just be your company. Right?
Can You Share Some Basic Guidelines For Link Building?
Right on next one is Mike. Mike says hello everyone. Can you please share some basic guidelines about backlinks specifically about the text when doing backlinks? When to use exact match keywords for anchor text link or my brand anchor text when writing a small post or short reply on forums, what information you suggest to include in the text and what links? Okay, there’s a lot of questions squeezed into this one, Mike.
So on a kind of a broad level. Personally, I don’t really sweat backlink ratios as far as anchor text ratio is like I used two years ago because I mainly just do everything through naked URLs and like any other any real backlinks that are going to be built are going to be built by my team and MGYB by Dadea. And he knows what to do. You just provide them with your seat set of keywords and he creates all the ratios to where I don’t really bother with it because I don’t really build my links outside of what we have him do.
But really, I use mainly when I’m doing like press releases, for example, because I do publish a lot of press releases, it’s almost 90%, just naked URLs, do brand anchors, and very rarely actually use any keyword anchor text, because it’s not really now off page, I mean, on page, that’s a different story. So, you know, you want to have, if you have content silos on page, you want to make sure that you’re linking through the content, you know, to daisy chain things together using variations of keywords that belong in that specific silo, but not always the same page because or, excuse me, the same keyword anchor. But as far as, you know, link building or blogging even in by the way, when you do that, if you’re syndicating content to a network, it’s going to make sure that you’re not always hammering and getting External links from even your syndication network, your branded network, always pointing back with the same anchor text. That’s why you want to do that.
But once again, you also have all those keywords that we add the same type of keywords that we would add to a drive stack build would be the ones that we would add to the link building campaign. And it’s a way to just continue to push relevancy in at different tiers. There’s different sets of rules as to what you can do as far as anchor text ratios, right. So again, I just hand that over to Dadea and he handles all of it. You want to add to that? Anybody?
Adam: Not to that, but to the next part, so
Marco: Okay, yeah, yeah, that first part generic naked, and brand anchors, right? Yeah. Because what we want to do is what we want to create link diversity. Once you have that, then it’s a lot more powerful when you hit it with that with that with whatever anchor text it is that the broad right and then you can go really eating hone in on the exact match, because your your link diversity is going to withstand some exact match anchors. If you don’t do that, though, if you don’t get those generic naked brand anchors and whatever you can in there, then what’s going to happen is you’re going to get it totally unnatural over optimization problems. And if you if you raise enough red flags that way, it could cause a manual which is when you get into all kinds of problems.
Bradley: Yeah, you’re gonna do it,
Adam: the tech you were writing a small post or a short reply in the forums, what information do you suggest including the text and what links? For me, I mean, I start out by saying that, you know, it’s, it’s too vague, but if you’re just doing this, I look at this as you probably want to look at it more from Hey, what information makes sense and if you’re doing this for an actual strategy, that you’re putting information out there, that increases the likelihood that your post is going to get traffic which I understand sounds kind of goofy, but for a forum that it’s it’s well received, right? And basically, I’m saying quality you know, don’t just say I’ve got to include x y&z you know, if you’re going in here and doing this for a long term strategy, I would say make sure you’re putting out quality information.
Bradley: Not only that, but if you really want to know how to test what type of a text and link to use as your best link for a forum signature tested in AdWords like search, you know what I’m saying? Because if you can get your headline, and you know your brief description and and the link and the offer to convert on through AdWords, and that’s what you put in your forum signature, and you’ll probably have a lot more likelihood of it doing well. I mean, it’s, it’s because you could test it quicker as my point other than trying to have some signature line that really isn’t very compelling, it doesn’t convert very well. And you have to wait for weeks or months to get any results to determine that, right? Because you’ve done a lot of posts, you can really kind of hone that in very quickly using AdWords or Google ads, and then add those to your forum signatures, if that makes sense.
Okay, anything else? Is it better to link to most of the times the homepage or a specific service product page? hope it’s not too complex of a question was a lot of questions you squeeze in there. I think it depends on what your call to action is within the content that you’re using for the link building. Right. I think it makes sense to link to the homepage at times, but also to more specific.
You also, you know, more specific product and or service pages. However, you also got to keep in mind, like, what is the purpose of the content that you’re doing and the overall strategy for that campaign? Because if you’re trying to push, you know, specific, a specific keyword like for particular siloed, for example, you can hit any one of the pieces of content within that silo, which you would call a deep link, because it’s not going to matter if you have the dawn page structured correct, which is what we talked about a lot in the mastermind, then anywhere that you’re going to hit that particular silo with, you know, inbound link, equity, it’s going to benefit the entire siloed. Right, so you wouldn’t want to comment on that anybody good or no? I would just say, Well, no, sorry. No, as a general strategy, he should be probably looking at distributing backlinks through his inner period.
Adam: But yeah, beyond that, like Bradley said, it just depends on again, what you’re, what you’re referencing, or what exactly you’re doing, but you definitely want to distribution
Bradley: Yeah, yeah, I mean, in other words, you don’t want to just always hammer one or the other. Does that make sense? You want you do want to split it up and spread it out. Crazy be we can have it.
Marco: Well, what matters here is how the website is set up, right? Right setting up the whole the homepage to convert, or are you setting up a category right pages as categories or categories as pages where you’re looking to push your silo through your supporting poles, and then that top market level category is going to be what you’re trying to rank because that’s where you want people to convert, actually, you want people to convert all along the way. But just to be sure on the question, if your link building to an inner page, right, then you make sure that you have it set up so that you’re pushing that top market level category up, because that’s what’s going to bring all of the other keywords with it. It doesn’t make sense to only link build to the homepage, if what you’re trying to rank results somewhere on an inner page in the category or in a post, or maybe it’s a lander, within the website, it all has to do with how everything is set up, how your website is set up. Should be how you direct your link building.
Bradley: Awesome. Thanks, man.
Adam: Sorry, real quick. I’ve got to bring this up now. So Wayne has a question for you. It’s the most recent one. But says Bradley, Your voice sounds very different today. Is this part of the new makeover for Hump Day hangouts to make it more sexy? Okay, thanks, Wayne. I’m not really sure how to answer that one. Yeah, let’s take a compliment. Yeah, just couldn’t we have to read that? Alright,
How Long Before You Can See The Results Of Battle Plan 3.0?
so next one is I have been following the Battle Plan 3.0 for a GMB asset. It’s been about two weeks since I followed steps one and two of the plan. How long before I find out the results? I don’t know if I’m facing stiff competition or middle of the road competition. How long do I have to wait before I hit it again? I did. I didn’t want to read set the G algorithm Thanks. Okay, um, put all the pieces together. You know, that’s what we talked about, if you use the Battle Plan, it’s not a, if you just do 25% of the work, you won’t get 25% of the results, if that makes sense, because you put all the pieces together and it has a more like a, an exponential effect, if you will. So it will work a lot better if you put all of the components together to create that entity loop or that SEO shield, whatever you want to call it. So if one and two if you put one in two pieces together or completed steps one and two, and you know, you know, complete the next steps to and I wouldn’t stop until all that entire asset creation. You know that SEO shield is really put together. So we’re going to be talking a lot more about that in the coming weeks for some of the stuff that we’ve got coming up. But Marco, do you want to add to that? I think he’s muted.
Marco: Sorry. I do want to talk about this a little bit? Because something about this really stands out to me. And I don’t want to pick on him, because I see that he’s just beginning. It’s following the Battle Plan. He’s in step two. But dude, how can you not know your competition? If you’re just starting out? Like sometimes when you get to the point where you know how much power you can push, when you know exactly what you’re doing, then the competition doesn’t matter. It’s just a matter of what you’re going to do to take the competition down. You’re at the start so you have to do thorough competition analysis to know exactly how much power it is that you’re going to need to push. Because a lot of this, you might do too much, and it might not be necessary, or you may be doing too little and more might be necessary. So I mean, you have to know what are people paying for AdWords in this niche? Google ads, how much are they paying? are they paying for Facebook ads, YouTube ads, other ads? How many competing pages does it have? Is it in the 2000s? Is it in the millions but singles is it in the 10s of millions is that in the hundreds of millions? Once you have all of that together, you’ll know exactly how tough and how stiff the competition is and then you’ll know exactly what to do. But the plan is still the same right syndication network, drive stack plus Gsite, press releases link building, and then embed runs and link building. And then you you do all of that before you start analyzing the data and seeing where your project has landed in rank. Because you’ll see that different keywords rank differently, different niches rank differently. So you have to know whether you need to isolate one of your market level keywords one of your top keywords that may be stuck second, third page, you may have to isolate that and hit that individually. Once you’ve done everything.
So without completing everything part one of the plan, as Bradley said, finish everything first. Once you do that link building one which it which is which is the final piece, you let it sit 21 days, four weeks, and then you come back and analyze the data and see what it is that you have to do. But guys starting out, when you’re starting in this, it’s a must for you to be able to analyze the competition and understand what it is that you’re up against. Because whether it’s you investing your money, or whether you’re investing your clients’ money you have what you’re going to spend your money on, and how much of it.
Adam: Yeah, and I’m not going to be able to get the quote right, Marco, maybe you can help me but this reminds me of what you said, might have been during your talk of POFU Live, but basically like Sun Tzu and the art of war and saying you want to come to the battle knowing you’re already going to win and you can’t do that. If you don’t know what your competition is.
Marco: You have to know that you’re going to win the war before you fight the first battle. I’m paraphrasing because I can’t remember the exact quote of him but but it’s along those lines. How can you know whether you going into you know, you can’t go blind into battle I might a bow and arrow and I’m going up against how it’s all right. I’m going up against a nuclear missile that well I’m not going to do very very well. So once once you lay it all out, and you’re absolutely right, it is war. And you understand your enemy your competition is your enemy always. And you know exactly what it is that you have to do to take down your enemy Well, you you win the war and you haven’t done and think about it all you’ve done is study the enemy. It was I love Sun Tzu and thank you. That’s awesome.
Is It Possible To Target National Keywords By Using Verified GMBs?
Alright, so the next one says Is it possible to target national keywords by using verified GMBs? So are gonna hand that one over to you because I know you talked about different strategies for that kind of stuff. He’s got an example a follow up question next. So again, is it possible to target national keywords by using verified GMB? For example, a long tail keyword like how to lose weight?
Marco: This isn’t totally an independent, it depends question. Yeah, what is it that you’re that you’re trying to do because one thing is local. And what you’re targeting is the proximity factor and then overriding the proximity factor so that you can get into outlying areas and target those. You can totally do that. You can totally extend the centroid and somebody was just somebody who guys who was in our local GMB Pro just came out with extending the centroid in in his own training his own original train, and I’m not going there. I’m just saying what the fuck man? But yes, you can extend the century and there are different ways that we can for extending the century, so you can totally do it, you’re going to need a whole lot of GMBs.
Because in a place like like New York City, Chicago, LA, you’re going to need to push a lot of power inside inside just I’m going to get one GMB do a whole bunch of pose, and then that’s going to get me where I need to go. It Again, it depends on the competition. Now, if it’s a national keyword, like cosmetic manufacturer, and there’s no location, like you don’t need to use location, there’s nothing location based. Why would you target it with a GMB? Other than to create like a national headquarters for the brand, but that would be branding. That wouldn’t be so so this is this question is kind of confusing. Yes. I don’t know about you guys. Because because they were talking about two different things here. And maybe what what you what you’re trying but what you’re thinking is you want to become the knowledge panel for the keywords. Well, that’s brand plus keyword association. And I think Fabian is in RYS Academy Reloaded and we teach that all day long we we should we show how to do that? I mean, we’ve been doing it for a while will be going in five years and mates and says Bradley ranked is Virginia SEO, SEO Virginia? So yes, it can be done. It depends on what you’re trying to do.
All right, but I’ll take you to the next question lockout Marco, you guys. It’s like back and forth. Is it? Yeah, so I totally said what I meant if or is maybe hosting original content on the money site, but on the branding network, instead of syndicating content, hosting high quality spun versions of posts from money site. Best regards? No, I mean, there’s no reason to. That’s what I’m saying. Like if it’s your branding, network, your branded network, then there’s no reason that you would need do post spunversions of your money site post because I’ve just republished the money site posts again, I don’t recommend using spun content as any on page or any first tier link building stuff, because it’s just not a good idea to do that now it’s even if it’s high quality spun stuff, which I guess you can still get away with that if it’s done very, very well. Okay, cool.
Will An Existing (Non-Semantic Mastery) GSite And Drive Stack Interfere With The Ones Being Built By MGYB?
Next one, Katie says Hey guys, I was talking to a dentist about his SEO he told me his son was doing it but he was getting nowhere I spoke to the son and he told me he bought some gigs on Fiverr for Google sites and drive files I told the dentist you get what you pay for. And then I may be able to help do it properly. Can I go to MGYB and by G site and drive stack for this one or is it too late? Well, the current g sites are drive stack his son setup interfere with the one MGYB would build. I don’t think the sun will let me delete all of the work he has done. Thanks.
Well, I’ll let Marco also answer on this one but I would absolutely get a new drive stack and G site that is built correctly. Which will likely the other one because the other one was not put together properly. So it’s not really pushing any relevancy or entity validation, if that makes sense. So once it’s done right, that would be the one that would come be associated with your entity because it will be done correctly. But Marco, what would you say was is it critical that the other one would be removed or deleted?
Marco: No it won’t matter and as a matter of fact what what you could do is add those satellites to push into the new drive stack was decide that we’re going to create for for you which is done right, then you can link building to all of those which is only going to help I mean, it’s not gonna hurt. Absolutely not. But you what you do need is that is that friend that drive stack empty site created my way, not somebody else’s way. Because they always skip corners. They never do the work that they’re supposed to think about. And I’ve said this before, it takes between six and eight hours for a train building. Jessen, by the way that the original RYS to do one and do it properly. Someone was going to charge you, maybe, I don’t know, 50 bucks. And they’re going to spend six hours, maybe eight hours building and drive stack? No, no, it’s not gonna happen. The money just isn’t there, right for five bucks. 10 bucks, 15 bucks. We charge what we charge for a reason. You and you’re absolutely right that and when I saw this, I couldn’t believe it you do get what you pay for. And if you go to Fiverr sometimes you’ve got some really good gigs in there that do a specific thing. But when you’re talking about pushing power, the Rank Your Shit Academy Reloaded me. There’s only one way to do it. You go with the original.
I agree. Yeah, this one I would probably be careful if I was in this position, because now I’m thinking okay, there’s someone else in there. So this to me goes back to managing client expectations and saying, Well, now there’s a son who’s got, you know, backend access to everything. So you might want to be managing to him. The son’s involved and he’s screwing around with stuff on that I don’t know about then, you know, I can’t be held responsible for some of this stuff. Yeah. working against our goals, so I’d be careful with it.
Okay, moving on the next one. See, I’m trying to find a guy stand by me. I think Jordan had a good one. He said mastermind plus sub mastermind group equals the cat’s meow. I totally agree with that. It’s not a question but I like it.
Do You Work With Third Party Syndication Networks And Stacks That Are Not Setup Correctly?
Okay, so the next question I see is I have questions about your done for you service syndication and stacks. I’ve had other vendors create those before but don’t think they were set up correctly. I see a theme here any any any problem with having you do them again? No, actually, that’s the best thing to do is just come on, come get it done correctly. And then you can analyze the ones that we’ve built for you versus the ones that you got from other vendors and, you know, figure out what was done wrong and apply it to the old ones. Yeah, yeah.
That idea. So yeah, that’s what I would do, because that’s what a lot of people, I mean, see that I go by RYS Academy. And that way you can go through the training and then you can understand what was done and then go fix the ones but again, your time is best spent on just purchasing them and letting somebody else do all that manual work, right.
Do You Create One Google Stack For Each Service Offering URL?
So the next one is Nathan says, when you build these stacks for people I know you ask them for the main keyword However, what if they offer multiple services? Do you create one g stack for each URL? For example, the company that offered HVAC and plumbing services do you create a stack for each URL or service offering a company slash and he went through several examples now, I mean, you can but another way to do it is to have a brand stack created, which is what we do. We recommend for whatever your primary keyword is or keywords, top level keywords, and then from there, once you get it back, and at some point, we’re going to provide this as an additional service, but once you get the branded drive stack back, you can go in and clone the folders that are contained in the the primary drive stack folder, and then re optimize that it does require some manual work, but for each one of your silos or product services or categories on your site, so that way, you’re mirroring your internal files from the drive stack inside of a branded and overall branded Drive folder. So again, you’re just building that relevancy, you’re going to mirror the same type of site structure that you have on your website into your drive stack. It does require some manual work. But the most important thing is to have that branded drive stack with the top-level keywords associated with that brand. So that makes sense. And Marco, do you want to come in on that?
Marco: No, that’s what I would have said. No, we’re not going to create both. If you submit HVAC, and if you submit plumbing, and you, you asked us to do keyword research, we’re going to give you everything that’s related to that. If nothing you have to do your own keyword research and submit the keywords that you want related to your brand which as Bradley said, we asked for about 50 and go for top keywords. Don’t go for the long tails, the long tails you’re going to get as you build it out as you build your supporting post and as you build your inner pages and you mirror your G site is up your money site on on the G site. But Bradley just so you guys know and I just got the news yesterday we’re testing the drive stack and G site as we speak. It’s coming right it’s gonna make it a lot easier. And right now like if he wants to make it easier on himself and clone, the drive stacks, then what he can do is he can make a donation to my charity and then right to Christie for the webinars right through charity webinars for last year and the scripts, and I’ll put the link to the donation. That’s awesome. Thank you.
And I’m not seeing any other questions you guys see any more? No will give people a minute here and I know that there’s a little bit of a delay here. There’s not much delay through zoom though.
So um, I did see a question in YouTube here. I said we’re in Colorado, we’re still in Denver, Colorado. Yeah, we’re a very short period. So what is the URL if people want to get the early bird discount for next year POFU Live go to pofulive.com/2022. I’m pulling up to make sure I’m not lying, pofulive.com/2020 and make sure you use the coupon code 2020 or 2020 action taker. Yeah. That’s going to be the lowest price ever. Oh, yeah. It definitely was a good event. I thought it was really good. Well, actually, let’s touch on that.
Real quick we got a few minutes we can wait for some questions here I want to share with people so we had Catherine Jones. So if you haven’t seen her you can probably get search for CF design school Semantic Mastery, check out a webinar we had with her, she dropped some good knowledge for everybody. Especially a lot of the people, they’re growing their agencies growing their consulting and you know, she taught them and us about funnel design but not just you know, hey, me do this to make your funnel look pretty. But you know, it’s about converting, not being pretty. And then how you can do this and how in a short period of time, you can create these things that you know, you can really crush it in terms of selling to clients or adding it onto your agency. So that was pretty cool. I don’t guys have anything else to say about Katherine’s presentation I was gonna get and then Adam Benjamin was another one of our guest speakers. That was great guys got a ton of sales experience. This was really cool talking to him getting some insights about basically kind of brand positioning, which tied in really well with what her non talked about about just one second.
Part of an audience presentation was about personal branding. And then how you can help yourself basically by growing yourself as an authority and it’s not some, you know, 25 step crazy, you know, diagram you got to follow to do this it was it was pretty simple, but combining that with what I think Adam said would be really powerful, so cool
What Was The Biggest Takeaway That You Can Share From POFU 2019?
Wayne says what was the biggest takeaway that you can share from POFU Live 2019? Uh, did you should go to pofulive.com/2020 and Wayne because what we want to see you there, and to you know, I’m not dodging the question, I’ll let these guys answer it. But like we’ve told people and like all of the testimonial say when we just ask people, hey, what do you want to share about Cooper life? You know, hey, content was great. It took something away immediately that paid for it. But on top of that, it’s you know, interacting with people, and that’s what you get out of a small group. So whether it’s us whether it’s a guest speakers, or whether it’s each other and saying, Oh, you know what, I have not been doing this one little thing or, you know, you open my eyes to a whole new area. I could either be doing for myself doing for clients stuff like that. But that’s consistently what we’ve heard. Yeah.
Hernan: Yeah, I think so too. If I can add real quick, I think that as digital marketing, or digital agency owners, most of the people that come to POFU Live there, they spend most of their time alone, right? They might have a couple of VAs, they might have small team, but most of them are remote, right? So come in here and being in a room for three days with people that have kind of the same ideas that you have. And some of them might be, you know, even ahead than you and some of them you might help to get to the point where you are right now, I think that that’s one of the best things that can possibly happen to an entrepreneur or digital agency owner. So yeah, yeah.
Bradley: And on a purely SEO basis, I want to say that it was awesome to hear how just putting the SEO shield together, the way that we teach works across the board, and you know, here in that for some several hours remembers that POFU Live to talk about how it’s like the cheat code. so it’s awesome because it’s validation beyond. I mean, we all knew it worked anyways. But it’s really good to hear when members actually take our advice and put it together the way that we teach. And then they get the same kind of results. And so that to me, was a very great takeaway to know that we’ve got something that’s been working for us for years that continues to work beyond updates to or through or despite of updates, you know what I mean? So it’s just very encouraging to see that. Yeah.
Adam: So Wayne, that popped into answer your question for myself, I think, you know, the biggest takeaway looking for something like either tactical or real world was Rob got up. Rob gave a great, great presentation and then he hopped on the whiteboard. And right and that’s where the magic happens. And so went through stuff, but he’s going to be sharing that with people in Bradley already mentioned SEO shield, and exactly what people can do. And basically taking the Battle Plan, combining it with what’s been done already and what will come in MGYB, and saying you now here’s what you got to do. So again, not to use it, but it’s on its way out. And I will share it with everybody as soon as we have something. Marco: I’d like to answer Wayne’s question because my biggest takeaway, not only this year, but also last year, is that the people who come to us, the action takers, they generally have already have everything as SEO wise that they need to get results. Because we’ve been proving it since since we started that when you implement what we give you, you get results. Now, what I often see and in my mini mastermind and in doing this for so long, is that people simply get stuck. I mean, it’s a joke, right? Don’t get stuck in the middle, but are you getting the middle of the big fat fuck you.
But it’s true guys. Do you want to finger prodding you in the middle? When you’re not doing anything? Is that what you’re really looking for? Or are you constantly going to go taking action and doing the things that you need to do to get to where you want to be. Because it’s not being where you have to be. That sucks. It sucks having to be somewhere and having to do something. But when you want to do it, and you like to do it, even if it’s something that you know you have to do, to continue on that path to POFU, it’s fulfilling. And you don’t get all of these different things joining and pulling you away. Because you’re hyper focus, you know that you can get results. We give them to you, we give you everything. You can come and reach out to us personally and we’ll answer your questions. We’ll do everything we can to help you make money, but we still have people stuck in the middle even mastermind members, we have people stuck in the middle, because they won’t do the shit that they’re supposed to do to be successful.
And so one of the things that you need to do to be successful is get with like minded people, and the only way you’re going to do that is by attending these events. And I don’t I don’t mean the bullshit events where you’re going to have hundreds of people. And you know you, you do that for networking. More than anything you do that to see how you’re going to make money and when and where do it do that. But when you really want to get with like minded people who are hyper focus on making money, that’s what you need to be in one of these events, the real ones, the ones where you get the gritty living by the ones where you get down to business, down with brass tacks and you get what you’re supposed to get so that you can continue making money.
Adam: definitely, hey, real quick got some questions on YouTube. I want to answer before we hop to the next question, which I love and click SEO. But first of all, Brian Kato says what’s up guys? Hey, good to meet you, man.
Do You Do Stacks For Dating Sites?
And then also another Brian was asking do you guys do stacks for dating sites. We don’t believe we have any restrictions. I mean, I don’t have I don’t think that crosses any lines for us building stacks, right?
Yeah, yeah. Because a lot of those can have things like male enhancement, and it depends on the affiliate that you’re running. We’re not going to do any of that, but I’m not gonna have my people don’t do any Yeah, we just don’t do it. So we don’t get them. Brian and you’re watching this just email [email protected]. To tell them what your actual like what your keywords are, and they’ll write Marco they’ll be able to tell them from that whether or not they can build it, right. So no doubt No, no pharma, gambling. I don’t know. It’s epic. Guys. It has to be in English. Don’t ask us to do Hungarian because that’s the one and the money that we have to target to do a one of is not feasible.
Can You Build An Agency Just By Outsourcing To Whitelabels?
Yeah. I so click SEO as the next one, he says or she says can you build an agency just outsourcing to white labels? Yeah, you certainly can. I like good. Jordan Fowler followed up. He’s one of our mastermind members and very successful but agency owner. And so and I agree very much with what he said, and that is that you can but you have to understand what it is that you’re talking about for when you do get questions, or at least be honest and say that you’ll get the answer if you don’t have it, you know, whatever the case may be, you want to make sure that you’re not talking at a on with ignorance to a potential customer or client with, you know, without being able to answer the questions, and it’s something that you can learn as you go, depending on what all your service offerings are, you know, we were going to be talking a lot about that in the coming weeks or coming months for for, you know, different things that you can do to build an agency without you have to do all of the work. And so I think it’s important to understand the concepts, the foundation of it, then then from there, you can you know, you can learn how to best manage questions and such for each one of the services depending on what kind of also confidence level you have in your done for you service providers. Does that make sense? Yeah. So anybody want to comment on now I think we’re understanding just the basic Six at least I mean, at a minimum, but you know, I, this may not be a great analogy. I’m doing this on the fly, but I was like, can you own? Maybe a few automotive repair shops and not be a mechanic? Sure. Is it going to benefit you greatly to understand the business you’re in? Yeah, you know, better. So I’ll leave it at that. But I know Markco has got some more to say, well, we make it simple, right? We not only provide the services that you need them for you to, to get everything that you need to do for the client. But if you join the mastermind, then you get access to us so that if you run into tough questions, you can just come back, excuse me, come ask us. How do I answer this question? client asked me this. I need an answer what I say and we’ll give you an answer. And we’ve simplified every we boil it down to make it so simple. That I I think that people think that our simplicity means that it doesn’t work. And it’s just the other way around as people make it so complex, that they need to confuse you because it confuse, they can keep making money from. We want it we want to boil all that shit away all that garbage. All we want is that pure rock we want. We want that good.
Guys, that’s what because when we have that when we when we simplify it, that’s what really works. And that’s why this is this is so good in the way that we’ve set it all up for you to come and take advantage of it. It just rocks and all you have to do is join the mastermind. I mean, it’s so simple. I don’t know why more people don’t don’t do it. Maybe I don’t I don’t know doubters doubting Thomases, whatever it is, get past it, because you need to make so much money.
Cool. Thank you. Alright, so we’re almost Well, we still got about 10 minutes. Well, I think we’re gonna have to end it a couple minutes early, right? Yeah, cuz I know we’re streaming through yours. Oh, no.
What Else Can You Do To Improve The Rank Of A Website Aside From Having GMB Drive Stack, 3 Press Releases, And Aged Site?
Fitz says I have a site that is showing 27 Google console page three on main keyword manual search number one main keyword on GMB, drive stack, three press releases, aged site, what can I do to improve? I don’t know, because that was kind of a word salad at the end there. I’m not really sure what you were saying. But as far as if you’ve got a page three, excuse me keywords on page three in Search Console, it means that they’re closed with some proper maybe on page or maybe some supporting articles that through the same silo that would link to those that page specifically syndicated across your network, for example, that’s going to help to kind of reinforce the theme for that particular post. Again, this is all provided that you have proper on page if your structures poor on page, then it’s going to be difficult to push, but it will respond to so much better to these cut type of tactics if you have good good structure, good internal linking. So doing that syndicating to their you know, maybe adding some additional Drive files within a particular, you know, siloed Drive folder that would do the same thing link back to those posts, the supporting posts that were linking to, to kind of boost that the posts on that are showing up with the keywords, the pages that are showing up on page three, that kind of stuff. Those are all things that you can do. also getting traffic to them, either through organic means or through buying way to traffic to those new posts that have been created is going to help to kind of activate all of that stuff. So, I mean, obviously, you know, just all the stuff we talked about mirror that same sort of paid page or post on a G site. Once again, you can even iframe it in there. That’s all the stuff we get into in RYS Academy. Marco, do you have any comments on that?
Marco: Yeah, GMB post silos.
Bradley: Okay. Yeah, you gotta GMB. It says your, your, your question their Fitz. So yeah, you can silo those together as well. Use press releases press release silo stalking. We talked about that recently, too. It’s on our YouTube channel. So once again, you just got a mirror all that stuff through all the different assets that you have available. Okay, then link link below to all that. And once that’s done, you take it, you take you take all that and you run an embed gig and you link build to all that and then see where it see where it sits after that.
Hernan: nice.
Adam: You know, I just thought back to something where Wayne was asking us and you know, I realized I don’t think we mentioned that. Everyone here, you know, that asked about link building and embeds, you’ve got to talk to dead. Yeah. And for the people who know who that is, or has heard the him mentioned, he was at POFU Live two years in a row from India, flew over and pay for his ticket came over and joined us and today this time he’s dropping some bombs did a case study was helping people out? That was really cool. It was just really good to see. Yeah, yeah, it was awesome. People appreciate it. So Wayne, that was another one that was cool because I know you know who he is. And for other people who who may think you know, he’s just somebody exists out in the internet like real deal came to down and joined us the second year in a row was all sounds awesome. That’s great. Well, listen, I don’t see any other questions. So I think it’s time we can wrap it up a few minutes early guys. So we want to say hi again from Dubai from Denver, Semantic Mastery from Denver except for Marco but we piped him in as usual. So we’ll see you guys next week. See you guys

And as far as announcements on my end, that’s about it. Marco Are you guys we got anything else we need to touch base on
Good no good. Yeah, we got a lot of questions so let’s go into that standby cuz I gotta try to find it.
Okay, so it looks like the first one is from Mike he says thanks for the great information I want to try to get back to you by mentioned that you have a good intro video but it has very high volume compared the video volume level hope it’s okay to say it. Thanks. That’s a good thing. Can you make a note of that too? Yeah, view that is you’re gonna try to edit our processes if that’s the case. So thank you for that, Mike. We do appreciate that.
URL Structure For Siloed Website
Next is a question. He says. What about strip the category base from category slug so it looks like a page site.com. Katie’s asking obviously about the URL structure for a siloed website. Because I’m Yeah, yes, he’s asking if he can use the restricted category slash post name out of the permalink structure for silo and absolutely you can just using post name premier link structure, it’s fine. It’s called a virtual silo works just as well as a regular siloed would Sorry, just bug does it in the face.
What Are Your Thoughts On Having A Syndicated Branded Network Using High Quality Spun Articles?
The next is vitality says hello Hope everyone is doing great. What are your thoughts on syndication network versus syndication network on the branding network using high quality spun articles readable that can this bring more SEO benefit? I mean, I know you don’t need to I would on your primary tier one branded network, you’re just going to be republishing content from your blog anyways, if that’s what you mean publishing spun articles to your blog, I would recommend now and recommend that instead, you would use curated content, it’s better content and creates co citation. And you don’t have to be a subject matter expert. You can just find other good content out there that you can grab snippets from and share we’ve got a product called content kingpin, which shows you exactly how to do that. That’s what I recommend is just going to read better it’s going to be more valuable. Produce more benefit than spun crappy articles would be if yes, what you mean. Marco, do you want to comment on that?
Marco: That’s exactly what I told him in the Facebook group, I just wanted him to come here. So that we could get go a little bit more in depth. And just to make sure that we hammered that home right that you’re doing, you’re way better off with curated content, citing sources and all of that versus just a crappy spun article that nobody knows what the hell is saying. One of the things that’s important here is that as your tier one brand, and you want it to look good, and if someone happens to come along to your tier one brand and you want that person possibly converting or getting into your funnel so that they end up on the website, and they end up in your sales funnel. And so what do you want that person to see in your tier one branded? Which is your brand amplified? Do you want them to see a crappy spun article that makes absolutely no sense or do you want to curate something that convert that person into a website visitor and perhaps a client or a customer. That’s the question that you need to ask.
What Are The Best Techniques To Let Google Recognize Entities?
Right on. So the next one is from Steve. He says, Hey SM team, what are the best techniques for getting Google to recognize entities? For those doing GMB or Google My Business? Google readily creates knowledge panels or me, or excuse me, MREIDs. But what about those working with the web properties? People products, etc? What can we do beyond schema and Id pages and the G stack? Getting a Wikipedia entry clearly works, but it’s very difficult for most gyms, taxis probably wouldn’t married a Wikipedia page, but it does, but gets in MREID through GMB. So, how do we level up the field for non GMB entities? Well, that sounds like a perfect question for Marco, I quickly would say that, you know, creating all of the syndication network and drive stack and all of that SEO shield including the ID page, all of it together is going to help having the structured data using sameas attributes is going to help. But there are other things that you can do, for example, have a paid account of some sort that helps to validate the entity as well. Meaning like pay Google for something AdWords campaigns, or, you know, Google Ads campaigns or for extra drive storage, all of the above, a G Suite account, something like that. But Marco, what else can you add to that?
Marco: Now, you just went over exactly what he supposed to do. If you can’t go in and get a verified GMB, which has a completed was not the complete entity in Google, because you can add social media and all these other things. Then what you need to do is you go in and you verify it another way and the best way that I know is getting that credit card on file, whether it’s a company credit card, a personal credit card, where you’re directly related to the company. What that’s going to do is it turns you into into Google’s customer, right other than a mage, and elite, and someone who is just abusing services, rather than payment, it gets that credit card on file. And what happens is, you know, yeah, you can have fake credit cards or whatever. But but that belongs to someone, it’s a thing. Then, on the web, it’s it’s in their database. It belongs to a person, but it belongs to a company. So you just went a long way towards validating the fact that you’re real. You’re not just another mooch, another leech, then you do everything else that we recommend. Absolutely. The schema, the @ID amplify it through the drive stack plus Gsite, press releases, I mean, companies do that on a regular basis, they announced their news, and then link building to all of those to just help to solidify everything. That’s what’s going to get you when you can’t get a GMB and Google understands that then there’s other way, getting into all of the different data aggregates.
Bradley: crunchbase would also be a good one.
Marco: crunchbase is perfect, but I was going to also say wiki data because Google is drawing directly from wiki data, you say that Wikipedia isn’t feasible, or sometimes it would merit. But your company wouldn’t merit a Wikipedia entry, a Wikipedia page, about the company and about everything that it does. So you pay someone to get you on Wikipedia, you pay someone to get your Wiki data. I just as interesting as I just posted to my partners this morning, about getting into Wikipedia, wiki data, for Semantic Mastery, because I know a guy that does it and his prices are really, really good. So that’s absolutely you get everywhere. That RankBrain goes to aggregate data about your entity about your thing, and make sure that it’s consistent throughout citations. I can’t remember if you mentioned citations, but that’s a perfect way. citations are a really good way. It doesn’t have to be just for local. It can just be your company. Right?
Can You Share Some Basic Guidelines For Link Building?
Right on next one is Mike. Mike says hello everyone. Can you please share some basic guidelines about backlinks specifically about the text when doing backlinks? When to use exact match keywords for anchor text link or my brand anchor text when writing a small post or short reply on forums, what information you suggest to include in the text and what links? Okay, there’s a lot of questions squeezed into this one, Mike.
So on a kind of a broad level. Personally, I don’t really sweat backlink ratios as far as anchor text ratio is like I used two years ago because I mainly just do everything through naked URLs and like any other any real backlinks that are going to be built are going to be built by my team and MGYB by Dadea. And he knows what to do. You just provide them with your seat set of keywords and he creates all the ratios to where I don’t really bother with it because I don’t really build my links outside of what we have him do.
But really, I use mainly when I’m doing like press releases, for example, because I do publish a lot of press releases, it’s almost 90%, just naked URLs, do brand anchors, and very rarely actually use any keyword anchor text, because it’s not really now off page, I mean, on page, that’s a different story. So, you know, you want to have, if you have content silos on page, you want to make sure that you’re linking through the content, you know, to daisy chain things together using variations of keywords that belong in that specific silo, but not always the same page because or, excuse me, the same keyword anchor. But as far as, you know, link building or blogging even in by the way, when you do that, if you’re syndicating content to a network, it’s going to make sure that you’re not always hammering and getting External links from even your syndication network, your branded network, always pointing back with the same anchor text. That’s why you want to do that.
But once again, you also have all those keywords that we add the same type of keywords that we would add to a drive stack build would be the ones that we would add to the link building campaign. And it’s a way to just continue to push relevancy in at different tiers. There’s different sets of rules as to what you can do as far as anchor text ratios, right. So again, I just hand that over to Dadea and he handles all of it. You want to add to that? Anybody?
Adam: Not to that, but to the next part, so
Marco: Okay, yeah, yeah, that first part generic naked, and brand anchors, right? Yeah. Because what we want to do is what we want to create link diversity. Once you have that, then it’s a lot more powerful when you hit it with that with that with whatever anchor text it is that the broad right and then you can go really eating hone in on the exact match, because your your link diversity is going to withstand some exact match anchors. If you don’t do that, though, if you don’t get those generic naked brand anchors and whatever you can in there, then what’s going to happen is you’re going to get it totally unnatural over optimization problems. And if you if you raise enough red flags that way, it could cause a manual which is when you get into all kinds of problems.
Bradley: Yeah, you’re gonna do it,
Adam: the tech you were writing a small post or a short reply in the forums, what information do you suggest including the text and what links? For me, I mean, I start out by saying that, you know, it’s, it’s too vague, but if you’re just doing this, I look at this as you probably want to look at it more from Hey, what information makes sense and if you’re doing this for an actual strategy, that you’re putting information out there, that increases the likelihood that your post is going to get traffic which I understand sounds kind of goofy, but for a forum that it’s it’s well received, right? And basically, I’m saying quality you know, don’t just say I’ve got to include x y&z you know, if you’re going in here and doing this for a long term strategy, I would say make sure you’re putting out quality information.
Bradley: Not only that, but if you really want to know how to test what type of a text and link to use as your best link for a forum signature tested in AdWords like search, you know what I’m saying? Because if you can get your headline, and you know your brief description and and the link and the offer to convert on through AdWords, and that’s what you put in your forum signature, and you’ll probably have a lot more likelihood of it doing well. I mean, it’s, it’s because you could test it quicker as my point other than trying to have some signature line that really isn’t very compelling, it doesn’t convert very well. And you have to wait for weeks or months to get any results to determine that, right? Because you’ve done a lot of posts, you can really kind of hone that in very quickly using AdWords or Google ads, and then add those to your forum signatures, if that makes sense.
Okay, anything else? Is it better to link to most of the times the homepage or a specific service product page? hope it’s not too complex of a question was a lot of questions you squeeze in there. I think it depends on what your call to action is within the content that you’re using for the link building. Right. I think it makes sense to link to the homepage at times, but also to more specific.
You also, you know, more specific product and or service pages. However, you also got to keep in mind, like, what is the purpose of the content that you’re doing and the overall strategy for that campaign? Because if you’re trying to push, you know, specific, a specific keyword like for particular siloed, for example, you can hit any one of the pieces of content within that silo, which you would call a deep link, because it’s not going to matter if you have the dawn page structured correct, which is what we talked about a lot in the mastermind, then anywhere that you’re going to hit that particular silo with, you know, inbound link, equity, it’s going to benefit the entire siloed. Right, so you wouldn’t want to comment on that anybody good or no? I would just say, Well, no, sorry. No, as a general strategy, he should be probably looking at distributing backlinks through his inner period.
Adam: But yeah, beyond that, like Bradley said, it just depends on again, what you’re, what you’re referencing, or what exactly you’re doing, but you definitely want to distribution
Bradley: Yeah, yeah, I mean, in other words, you don’t want to just always hammer one or the other. Does that make sense? You want you do want to split it up and spread it out. Crazy be we can have it.
Marco: Well, what matters here is how the website is set up, right? Right setting up the whole the homepage to convert, or are you setting up a category right pages as categories or categories as pages where you’re looking to push your silo through your supporting poles, and then that top market level category is going to be what you’re trying to rank because that’s where you want people to convert, actually, you want people to convert all along the way. But just to be sure on the question, if your link building to an inner page, right, then you make sure that you have it set up so that you’re pushing that top market level category up, because that’s what’s going to bring all of the other keywords with it. It doesn’t make sense to only link build to the homepage, if what you’re trying to rank results somewhere on an inner page in the category or in a post, or maybe it’s a lander, within the website, it all has to do with how everything is set up, how your website is set up. Should be how you direct your link building.
Bradley: Awesome. Thanks, man.
Adam: Sorry, real quick. I’ve got to bring this up now. So Wayne has a question for you. It’s the most recent one. But says Bradley, Your voice sounds very different today. Is this part of the new makeover for Hump Day hangouts to make it more sexy? Okay, thanks, Wayne. I’m not really sure how to answer that one. Yeah, let’s take a compliment. Yeah, just couldn’t we have to read that? Alright,
How Long Before You Can See The Results Of Battle Plan 3.0?
so next one is I have been following the Battle Plan 3.0 for a GMB asset. It’s been about two weeks since I followed steps one and two of the plan. How long before I find out the results? I don’t know if I’m facing stiff competition or middle of the road competition. How long do I have to wait before I hit it again? I did. I didn’t want to read set the G algorithm Thanks. Okay, um, put all the pieces together. You know, that’s what we talked about, if you use the Battle Plan, it’s not a, if you just do 25% of the work, you won’t get 25% of the results, if that makes sense, because you put all the pieces together and it has a more like a, an exponential effect, if you will. So it will work a lot better if you put all of the components together to create that entity loop or that SEO shield, whatever you want to call it. So if one and two if you put one in two pieces together or completed steps one and two, and you know, you know, complete the next steps to and I wouldn’t stop until all that entire asset creation. You know that SEO shield is really put together. So we’re going to be talking a lot more about that in the coming weeks for some of the stuff that we’ve got coming up. But Marco, do you want to add to that? I think he’s muted.
Marco: Sorry. I do want to talk about this a little bit? Because something about this really stands out to me. And I don’t want to pick on him, because I see that he’s just beginning. It’s following the Battle Plan. He’s in step two. But dude, how can you not know your competition? If you’re just starting out? Like sometimes when you get to the point where you know how much power you can push, when you know exactly what you’re doing, then the competition doesn’t matter. It’s just a matter of what you’re going to do to take the competition down. You’re at the start so you have to do thorough competition analysis to know exactly how much power it is that you’re going to need to push. Because a lot of this, you might do too much, and it might not be necessary, or you may be doing too little and more might be necessary. So I mean, you have to know what are people paying for AdWords in this niche? Google ads, how much are they paying? are they paying for Facebook ads, YouTube ads, other ads? How many competing pages does it have? Is it in the 2000s? Is it in the millions but singles is it in the 10s of millions is that in the hundreds of millions? Once you have all of that together, you’ll know exactly how tough and how stiff the competition is and then you’ll know exactly what to do. But the plan is still the same right syndication network, drive stack plus Gsite, press releases link building, and then embed runs and link building. And then you you do all of that before you start analyzing the data and seeing where your project has landed in rank. Because you’ll see that different keywords rank differently, different niches rank differently. So you have to know whether you need to isolate one of your market level keywords one of your top keywords that may be stuck second, third page, you may have to isolate that and hit that individually. Once you’ve done everything.
So without completing everything part one of the plan, as Bradley said, finish everything first. Once you do that link building one which it which is which is the final piece, you let it sit 21 days, four weeks, and then you come back and analyze the data and see what it is that you have to do. But guys starting out, when you’re starting in this, it’s a must for you to be able to analyze the competition and understand what it is that you’re up against. Because whether it’s you investing your money, or whether you’re investing your clients’ money you have what you’re going to spend your money on, and how much of it.
Adam: Yeah, and I’m not going to be able to get the quote right, Marco, maybe you can help me but this reminds me of what you said, might have been during your talk of POFU Live, but basically like Sun Tzu and the art of war and saying you want to come to the battle knowing you’re already going to win and you can’t do that. If you don’t know what your competition is.
Marco: You have to know that you’re going to win the war before you fight the first battle. I’m paraphrasing because I can’t remember the exact quote of him but but it’s along those lines. How can you know whether you going into you know, you can’t go blind into battle I might a bow and arrow and I’m going up against how it’s all right. I’m going up against a nuclear missile that well I’m not going to do very very well. So once once you lay it all out, and you’re absolutely right, it is war. And you understand your enemy your competition is your enemy always. And you know exactly what it is that you have to do to take down your enemy Well, you you win the war and you haven’t done and think about it all you’ve done is study the enemy. It was I love Sun Tzu and thank you. That’s awesome.
Is It Possible To Target National Keywords By Using Verified GMBs?
Alright, so the next one says Is it possible to target national keywords by using verified GMBs? So are gonna hand that one over to you because I know you talked about different strategies for that kind of stuff. He’s got an example a follow up question next. So again, is it possible to target national keywords by using verified GMB? For example, a long tail keyword like how to lose weight?
Marco: This isn’t totally an independent, it depends question. Yeah, what is it that you’re that you’re trying to do because one thing is local. And what you’re targeting is the proximity factor and then overriding the proximity factor so that you can get into outlying areas and target those. You can totally do that. You can totally extend the centroid and somebody was just somebody who guys who was in our local GMB Pro just came out with extending the centroid in in his own training his own original train, and I’m not going there. I’m just saying what the fuck man? But yes, you can extend the century and there are different ways that we can for extending the century, so you can totally do it, you’re going to need a whole lot of GMBs.
Because in a place like like New York City, Chicago, LA, you’re going to need to push a lot of power inside inside just I’m going to get one GMB do a whole bunch of pose, and then that’s going to get me where I need to go. It Again, it depends on the competition. Now, if it’s a national keyword, like cosmetic manufacturer, and there’s no location, like you don’t need to use location, there’s nothing location based. Why would you target it with a GMB? Other than to create like a national headquarters for the brand, but that would be branding. That wouldn’t be so so this is this question is kind of confusing. Yes. I don’t know about you guys. Because because they were talking about two different things here. And maybe what what you what you’re trying but what you’re thinking is you want to become the knowledge panel for the keywords. Well, that’s brand plus keyword association. And I think Fabian is in RYS Academy Reloaded and we teach that all day long we we should we show how to do that? I mean, we’ve been doing it for a while will be going in five years and mates and says Bradley ranked is Virginia SEO, SEO Virginia? So yes, it can be done. It depends on what you’re trying to do.
All right, but I’ll take you to the next question lockout Marco, you guys. It’s like back and forth. Is it? Yeah, so I totally said what I meant if or is maybe hosting original content on the money site, but on the branding network, instead of syndicating content, hosting high quality spun versions of posts from money site. Best regards? No, I mean, there’s no reason to. That’s what I’m saying. Like if it’s your branding, network, your branded network, then there’s no reason that you would need do post spunversions of your money site post because I’ve just republished the money site posts again, I don’t recommend using spun content as any on page or any first tier link building stuff, because it’s just not a good idea to do that now it’s even if it’s high quality spun stuff, which I guess you can still get away with that if it’s done very, very well. Okay, cool.
Will An Existing (Non-Semantic Mastery) GSite And Drive Stack Interfere With The Ones Being Built By MGYB?
Next one, Katie says Hey guys, I was talking to a dentist about his SEO he told me his son was doing it but he was getting nowhere I spoke to the son and he told me he bought some gigs on Fiverr for Google sites and drive files I told the dentist you get what you pay for. And then I may be able to help do it properly. Can I go to MGYB and by G site and drive stack for this one or is it too late? Well, the current g sites are drive stack his son setup interfere with the one MGYB would build. I don’t think the sun will let me delete all of the work he has done. Thanks.
Well, I’ll let Marco also answer on this one but I would absolutely get a new drive stack and G site that is built correctly. Which will likely the other one because the other one was not put together properly. So it’s not really pushing any relevancy or entity validation, if that makes sense. So once it’s done right, that would be the one that would come be associated with your entity because it will be done correctly. But Marco, what would you say was is it critical that the other one would be removed or deleted?
Marco: No it won’t matter and as a matter of fact what what you could do is add those satellites to push into the new drive stack was decide that we’re going to create for for you which is done right, then you can link building to all of those which is only going to help I mean, it’s not gonna hurt. Absolutely not. But you what you do need is that is that friend that drive stack empty site created my way, not somebody else’s way. Because they always skip corners. They never do the work that they’re supposed to think about. And I’ve said this before, it takes between six and eight hours for a train building. Jessen, by the way that the original RYS to do one and do it properly. Someone was going to charge you, maybe, I don’t know, 50 bucks. And they’re going to spend six hours, maybe eight hours building and drive stack? No, no, it’s not gonna happen. The money just isn’t there, right for five bucks. 10 bucks, 15 bucks. We charge what we charge for a reason. You and you’re absolutely right that and when I saw this, I couldn’t believe it you do get what you pay for. And if you go to Fiverr sometimes you’ve got some really good gigs in there that do a specific thing. But when you’re talking about pushing power, the Rank Your Shit Academy Reloaded me. There’s only one way to do it. You go with the original.
I agree. Yeah, this one I would probably be careful if I was in this position, because now I’m thinking okay, there’s someone else in there. So this to me goes back to managing client expectations and saying, Well, now there’s a son who’s got, you know, backend access to everything. So you might want to be managing to him. The son’s involved and he’s screwing around with stuff on that I don’t know about then, you know, I can’t be held responsible for some of this stuff. Yeah. working against our goals, so I’d be careful with it.
Okay, moving on the next one. See, I’m trying to find a guy stand by me. I think Jordan had a good one. He said mastermind plus sub mastermind group equals the cat’s meow. I totally agree with that. It’s not a question but I like it.
Do You Work With Third Party Syndication Networks And Stacks That Are Not Setup Correctly?
Okay, so the next question I see is I have questions about your done for you service syndication and stacks. I’ve had other vendors create those before but don’t think they were set up correctly. I see a theme here any any any problem with having you do them again? No, actually, that’s the best thing to do is just come on, come get it done correctly. And then you can analyze the ones that we’ve built for you versus the ones that you got from other vendors and, you know, figure out what was done wrong and apply it to the old ones. Yeah, yeah.
That idea. So yeah, that’s what I would do, because that’s what a lot of people, I mean, see that I go by RYS Academy. And that way you can go through the training and then you can understand what was done and then go fix the ones but again, your time is best spent on just purchasing them and letting somebody else do all that manual work, right.
Do You Create One Google Stack For Each Service Offering URL?
So the next one is Nathan says, when you build these stacks for people I know you ask them for the main keyword However, what if they offer multiple services? Do you create one g stack for each URL? For example, the company that offered HVAC and plumbing services do you create a stack for each URL or service offering a company slash and he went through several examples now, I mean, you can but another way to do it is to have a brand stack created, which is what we do. We recommend for whatever your primary keyword is or keywords, top level keywords, and then from there, once you get it back, and at some point, we’re going to provide this as an additional service, but once you get the branded drive stack back, you can go in and clone the folders that are contained in the the primary drive stack folder, and then re optimize that it does require some manual work, but for each one of your silos or product services or categories on your site, so that way, you’re mirroring your internal files from the drive stack inside of a branded and overall branded Drive folder. So again, you’re just building that relevancy, you’re going to mirror the same type of site structure that you have on your website into your drive stack. It does require some manual work. But the most important thing is to have that branded drive stack with the top-level keywords associated with that brand. So that makes sense. And Marco, do you want to come in on that?
Marco: No, that’s what I would have said. No, we’re not going to create both. If you submit HVAC, and if you submit plumbing, and you, you asked us to do keyword research, we’re going to give you everything that’s related to that. If nothing you have to do your own keyword research and submit the keywords that you want related to your brand which as Bradley said, we asked for about 50 and go for top keywords. Don’t go for the long tails, the long tails you’re going to get as you build it out as you build your supporting post and as you build your inner pages and you mirror your G site is up your money site on on the G site. But Bradley just so you guys know and I just got the news yesterday we’re testing the drive stack and G site as we speak. It’s coming right it’s gonna make it a lot easier. And right now like if he wants to make it easier on himself and clone, the drive stacks, then what he can do is he can make a donation to my charity and then right to Christie for the webinars right through charity webinars for last year and the scripts, and I’ll put the link to the donation. That’s awesome. Thank you.
And I’m not seeing any other questions you guys see any more? No will give people a minute here and I know that there’s a little bit of a delay here. There’s not much delay through zoom though.
So um, I did see a question in YouTube here. I said we’re in Colorado, we’re still in Denver, Colorado. Yeah, we’re a very short period. So what is the URL if people want to get the early bird discount for next year POFU Live go to pofulive.com/2022. I’m pulling up to make sure I’m not lying, pofulive.com/2020 and make sure you use the coupon code 2020 or 2020 action taker. Yeah. That’s going to be the lowest price ever. Oh, yeah. It definitely was a good event. I thought it was really good. Well, actually, let’s touch on that.
Real quick we got a few minutes we can wait for some questions here I want to share with people so we had Catherine Jones. So if you haven’t seen her you can probably get search for CF design school Semantic Mastery, check out a webinar we had with her, she dropped some good knowledge for everybody. Especially a lot of the people, they’re growing their agencies growing their consulting and you know, she taught them and us about funnel design but not just you know, hey, me do this to make your funnel look pretty. But you know, it’s about converting, not being pretty. And then how you can do this and how in a short period of time, you can create these things that you know, you can really crush it in terms of selling to clients or adding it onto your agency. So that was pretty cool. I don’t guys have anything else to say about Katherine’s presentation I was gonna get and then Adam Benjamin was another one of our guest speakers. That was great guys got a ton of sales experience. This was really cool talking to him getting some insights about basically kind of brand positioning, which tied in really well with what her non talked about about just one second.
Part of an audience presentation was about personal branding. And then how you can help yourself basically by growing yourself as an authority and it’s not some, you know, 25 step crazy, you know, diagram you got to follow to do this it was it was pretty simple, but combining that with what I think Adam said would be really powerful, so cool
What Was The Biggest Takeaway That You Can Share From POFU 2019?
Wayne says what was the biggest takeaway that you can share from POFU Live 2019? Uh, did you should go to pofulive.com/2020 and Wayne because what we want to see you there, and to you know, I’m not dodging the question, I’ll let these guys answer it. But like we’ve told people and like all of the testimonial say when we just ask people, hey, what do you want to share about Cooper life? You know, hey, content was great. It took something away immediately that paid for it. But on top of that, it’s you know, interacting with people, and that’s what you get out of a small group. So whether it’s us whether it’s a guest speakers, or whether it’s each other and saying, Oh, you know what, I have not been doing this one little thing or, you know, you open my eyes to a whole new area. I could either be doing for myself doing for clients stuff like that. But that’s consistently what we’ve heard. Yeah.
Hernan: Yeah, I think so too. If I can add real quick, I think that as digital marketing, or digital agency owners, most of the people that come to POFU Live there, they spend most of their time alone, right? They might have a couple of VAs, they might have small team, but most of them are remote, right? So come in here and being in a room for three days with people that have kind of the same ideas that you have. And some of them might be, you know, even ahead than you and some of them you might help to get to the point where you are right now, I think that that’s one of the best things that can possibly happen to an entrepreneur or digital agency owner. So yeah, yeah.
Bradley: And on a purely SEO basis, I want to say that it was awesome to hear how just putting the SEO shield together, the way that we teach works across the board, and you know, here in that for some several hours remembers that POFU Live to talk about how it’s like the cheat code. so it’s awesome because it’s validation beyond. I mean, we all knew it worked anyways. But it’s really good to hear when members actually take our advice and put it together the way that we teach. And then they get the same kind of results. And so that to me, was a very great takeaway to know that we’ve got something that’s been working for us for years that continues to work beyond updates to or through or despite of updates, you know what I mean? So it’s just very encouraging to see that. Yeah.
Adam: So Wayne, that popped into answer your question for myself, I think, you know, the biggest takeaway looking for something like either tactical or real world was Rob got up. Rob gave a great, great presentation and then he hopped on the whiteboard. And right and that’s where the magic happens. And so went through stuff, but he’s going to be sharing that with people in Bradley already mentioned SEO shield, and exactly what people can do. And basically taking the Battle Plan, combining it with what’s been done already and what will come in MGYB, and saying you now here’s what you got to do. So again, not to use it, but it’s on its way out. And I will share it with everybody as soon as we have something. Marco: I’d like to answer Wayne’s question because my biggest takeaway, not only this year, but also last year, is that the people who come to us, the action takers, they generally have already have everything as SEO wise that they need to get results. Because we’ve been proving it since since we started that when you implement what we give you, you get results. Now, what I often see and in my mini mastermind and in doing this for so long, is that people simply get stuck. I mean, it’s a joke, right? Don’t get stuck in the middle, but are you getting the middle of the big fat fuck you.
But it’s true guys. Do you want to finger prodding you in the middle? When you’re not doing anything? Is that what you’re really looking for? Or are you constantly going to go taking action and doing the things that you need to do to get to where you want to be. Because it’s not being where you have to be. That sucks. It sucks having to be somewhere and having to do something. But when you want to do it, and you like to do it, even if it’s something that you know you have to do, to continue on that path to POFU, it’s fulfilling. And you don’t get all of these different things joining and pulling you away. Because you’re hyper focus, you know that you can get results. We give them to you, we give you everything. You can come and reach out to us personally and we’ll answer your questions. We’ll do everything we can to help you make money, but we still have people stuck in the middle even mastermind members, we have people stuck in the middle, because they won’t do the shit that they’re supposed to do to be successful.
And so one of the things that you need to do to be successful is get with like minded people, and the only way you’re going to do that is by attending these events. And I don’t I don’t mean the bullshit events where you’re going to have hundreds of people. And you know you, you do that for networking. More than anything you do that to see how you’re going to make money and when and where do it do that. But when you really want to get with like minded people who are hyper focus on making money, that’s what you need to be in one of these events, the real ones, the ones where you get the gritty living by the ones where you get down to business, down with brass tacks and you get what you’re supposed to get so that you can continue making money.
Adam: definitely, hey, real quick got some questions on YouTube. I want to answer before we hop to the next question, which I love and click SEO. But first of all, Brian Kato says what’s up guys? Hey, good to meet you, man.
Do You Do Stacks For Dating Sites?
And then also another Brian was asking do you guys do stacks for dating sites. We don’t believe we have any restrictions. I mean, I don’t have I don’t think that crosses any lines for us building stacks, right?
Yeah, yeah. Because a lot of those can have things like male enhancement, and it depends on the affiliate that you’re running. We’re not going to do any of that, but I’m not gonna have my people don’t do any Yeah, we just don’t do it. So we don’t get them. Brian and you’re watching this just email [email protected]. To tell them what your actual like what your keywords are, and they’ll write Marco they’ll be able to tell them from that whether or not they can build it, right. So no doubt No, no pharma, gambling. I don’t know. It’s epic. Guys. It has to be in English. Don’t ask us to do Hungarian because that’s the one and the money that we have to target to do a one of is not feasible.
Can You Build An Agency Just By Outsourcing To Whitelabels?
Yeah. I so click SEO as the next one, he says or she says can you build an agency just outsourcing to white labels? Yeah, you certainly can. I like good. Jordan Fowler followed up. He’s one of our mastermind members and very successful but agency owner. And so and I agree very much with what he said, and that is that you can but you have to understand what it is that you’re talking about for when you do get questions, or at least be honest and say that you’ll get the answer if you don’t have it, you know, whatever the case may be, you want to make sure that you’re not talking at a on with ignorance to a potential customer or client with, you know, without being able to answer the questions, and it’s something that you can learn as you go, depending on what all your service offerings are, you know, we were going to be talking a lot about that in the coming weeks or coming months for for, you know, different things that you can do to build an agency without you have to do all of the work. And so I think it’s important to understand the concepts, the foundation of it, then then from there, you can you know, you can learn how to best manage questions and such for each one of the services depending on what kind of also confidence level you have in your done for you service providers. Does that make sense? Yeah. So anybody want to comment on now I think we’re understanding just the basic Six at least I mean, at a minimum, but you know, I, this may not be a great analogy. I’m doing this on the fly, but I was like, can you own? Maybe a few automotive repair shops and not be a mechanic? Sure. Is it going to benefit you greatly to understand the business you’re in? Yeah, you know, better. So I’ll leave it at that. But I know Markco has got some more to say, well, we make it simple, right? We not only provide the services that you need them for you to, to get everything that you need to do for the client. But if you join the mastermind, then you get access to us so that if you run into tough questions, you can just come back, excuse me, come ask us. How do I answer this question? client asked me this. I need an answer what I say and we’ll give you an answer. And we’ve simplified every we boil it down to make it so simple. That I I think that people think that our simplicity means that it doesn’t work. And it’s just the other way around as people make it so complex, that they need to confuse you because it confuse, they can keep making money from. We want it we want to boil all that shit away all that garbage. All we want is that pure rock we want. We want that good.
Guys, that’s what because when we have that when we when we simplify it, that’s what really works. And that’s why this is this is so good in the way that we’ve set it all up for you to come and take advantage of it. It just rocks and all you have to do is join the mastermind. I mean, it’s so simple. I don’t know why more people don’t don’t do it. Maybe I don’t I don’t know doubters doubting Thomases, whatever it is, get past it, because you need to make so much money.
Cool. Thank you. Alright, so we’re almost Well, we still got about 10 minutes. Well, I think we’re gonna have to end it a couple minutes early, right? Yeah, cuz I know we’re streaming through yours. Oh, no.
What Else Can You Do To Improve The Rank Of A Website Aside From Having GMB Drive Stack, 3 Press Releases, And Aged Site?
Fitz says I have a site that is showing 27 Google console page three on main keyword manual search number one main keyword on GMB, drive stack, three press releases, aged site, what can I do to improve? I don’t know, because that was kind of a word salad at the end there. I’m not really sure what you were saying. But as far as if you’ve got a page three, excuse me keywords on page three in Search Console, it means that they’re closed with some proper maybe on page or maybe some supporting articles that through the same silo that would link to those that page specifically syndicated across your network, for example, that’s going to help to kind of reinforce the theme for that particular post. Again, this is all provided that you have proper on page if your structures poor on page, then it’s going to be difficult to push, but it will respond to so much better to these cut type of tactics if you have good good structure, good internal linking. So doing that syndicating to their you know, maybe adding some additional Drive files within a particular, you know, siloed Drive folder that would do the same thing link back to those posts, the supporting posts that were linking to, to kind of boost that the posts on that are showing up with the keywords, the pages that are showing up on page three, that kind of stuff. Those are all things that you can do. also getting traffic to them, either through organic means or through buying way to traffic to those new posts that have been created is going to help to kind of activate all of that stuff. So, I mean, obviously, you know, just all the stuff we talked about mirror that same sort of paid page or post on a G site. Once again, you can even iframe it in there. That’s all the stuff we get into in RYS Academy. Marco, do you have any comments on that?
Marco: Yeah, GMB post silos.
Bradley: Okay. Yeah, you gotta GMB. It says your, your, your question their Fitz. So yeah, you can silo those together as well. Use press releases press release silo stalking. We talked about that recently, too. It’s on our YouTube channel. So once again, you just got a mirror all that stuff through all the different assets that you have available. Okay, then link link below to all that. And once that’s done, you take it, you take you take all that and you run an embed gig and you link build to all that and then see where it see where it sits after that.
Hernan: nice.
Adam: You know, I just thought back to something where Wayne was asking us and you know, I realized I don’t think we mentioned that. Everyone here, you know, that asked about link building and embeds, you’ve got to talk to dead. Yeah. And for the people who know who that is, or has heard the him mentioned, he was at POFU Live two years in a row from India, flew over and pay for his ticket came over and joined us and today this time he’s dropping some bombs did a case study was helping people out? That was really cool. It was just really good to see. Yeah, yeah, it was awesome. People appreciate it. So Wayne, that was another one that was cool because I know you know who he is. And for other people who who may think you know, he’s just somebody exists out in the internet like real deal came to down and joined us the second year in a row was all sounds awesome. That’s great. Well, listen, I don’t see any other questions. So I think it’s time we can wrap it up a few minutes early guys. So we want to say hi again from Dubai from Denver, Semantic Mastery from Denver except for Marco but we piped him in as usual. So we’ll see you guys next week. See you guys
