^{Read Time: 5.5 minutes.}

Last week, I told you I’ve decided to build 100 tech tools over the next 1,000 days (or 2.74 years).

I’ll add them all here as I go.

I’m terrified 😱

But excited 😁

I’m a big believer in just taking action.

Get going.

Figure out how to adjust along the way.

Slow and Steady Wins The Race.

But you can’t win if you’re not actually in the race.

Spectators can’t win.

Get in the race!

Need a tool?

Reply to me with your ideas, and maybe I’ll build it!

This morning, I had a great call with a friend of mine in the accounting space.

We brainstormed a helpful financial statement projection tool that we could build that will help small business owners.

I spent an hour this morning playing with it.

I think it’s got potential — more info coming soon!

How I’m Using AI this Week…

Well, now that you know my plan is to build 100 tools (or die trying) over the next 1,000 days, I better get to it!

This past week, I actually made the rough draft for a super simple podcast editor — all you have to do is drop in audio files for an intro, the main content, and outro and the tool combines them — I even set it up with its very own domain! You can see it live at EasyPodcastEditor.com— I’ll polish it up in the coming weeks.

But if you want to see the process I thought through, I made the video below…

Now, a quick note from an email sponsor… clicking and visiting their site helps me continue creating and sharing in this newsletter, so thanks!

If you have an interest in starting a podcast, I’ve used BuzzSprout as my podcast host for the past 3 years — they’ve been great. Our link gets you a $20 credit if you want to check them out. I also created this simple podcast cheatsheet you might find helpful.

Domain Name Flipping [Update]

Ok, using GoHighLevel, I’ve set up some outbound campaigns.

I got my first offer for one of my domains!

She offered me $1k for a real estate-related domain.

Thanks to my friend Andrew’s note, I’m countering her at $1.5k (my asking price was $2k).

update: She’s thinking on it. I told her I’d give her the week before I start following up with other agents in her area!

We’ll see - I’ll keep you posted.

My process:

I used Outscraper to pull a list of some of the top real estate agents in those cities.

Then I sent a very personalized message.

Feel free to join me in the DomainNameLovers.com group.

PS - you can see most of my domains for sale here.

Amazon Influencer Program [Update]

I just made a few new videos (I got paid $50 by a brand to make them, and I recorded a few extra).

They typically offer me a product in exchange for vids, but I always just respond with my standard “here’s my cost” email — this is the first that took me up on it.

Got a cool light though — vid below…

But the real O.G. is my buddy Jared Bauman, who has made more than $40,000 per year with Amazon Influencer in his part time (that’s a salary for some folks!) — he shares all his knowledge in his course.

New calendar - https://www.themobilerundown.com/calendar-of-events/

I’m working out my process for moving over.

I also had a nice conversation with a local mom the potentially help run our social media channels (which we totally slack on).

My goal is to offer promo packages to businesses for exposure.

My thinking is that if 1 out of 10 or 20 get the package, the position should at a minimum pay for itself (in addition to helping grow our community!)

I’ll keep you posted!
