Christian, your first home run at home since September 6th of 2019. It was a first pitch change up for you on the home run. How can a swing like that help you feel locked in? I mean, just trying to hit something up there right now. So, you know, it felt good. It's been a while at home. And it's nice to have people back in the stands. And, you know, a good one for us. Offense has really started to heat up here at home as well. You guys had five home runs on Tuesday for tonight, including yours. What is it about the hitting that's starting to be a little bit more contagious in that lineup? It's just how it goes. You know, you go through ups and downs through the course of the season. We've got a lot of talented players. So it's only a matter of time. And it's good for us to get rolling and hopefully getting a rhythm here. Jackie Bradley, Jr. had a multi-hit game. He had a home run as well. You guys are asking a lot out of JBJ with low cane on the IL. But how much do you guys need him, and especially for him to have a good night like he did tonight? Yeah, it's a huge form. I mean, he's incredible defensively. He's played in this league for a long time, done really well. Played for a lot of winning teams. So we're excited to have him with us. And if he keeps going deep, that's going to be good news for the viewers.


Hey you guys, it is Sunday morning. Hold on baby, I'm gonna show them your foot, my poor baby. Let me turn this TV down, y'all, I'm watching Hoarders. I'm watching Hoarders and Inspire made it clean up today. Come here baby, yesterday, what happened to him? Y'all heard me say in my last vlog that we went to the park and he had something wrong with his foot and I couldn't figure out, he kept saying, I burnt my foot, I burnt my foot. And I was thinking, there's nothing that can burn your foot. Sorry y'all, I'ma look. There's nothing that can burn your foot at the park. It's hot, but it's not that hot. Now out here, like in the mid-summer time, 100 degrees, you can't walk outside with no shoes on. But right now, it's 70s and 80s. So then I said, well, come here baby.  I said, well, what color was the floor? Cause he said I burnt it on the ground. I said, what color was the floor then? He said red. I said red and I started to think about it. I'm like, the playground is red. The playground is made out of metal. So yeah, 80 degrees, I think it was like 85, 85 degrees.  And the soles on your feet are soft and very sensitive, poor thing. And so yeah, that burnt his, that burnt, like I pretty sure as soon as he put his foot down, he put it up, but it burnt it. So let me show them, boo boo. It took me at the water. So one picked you up, who was it? Was it an adult?  Yeah, and bringing it at the water. You didn't tell me that, was it a man or a woman? I don't know. You can't tell what gender they were? You just saw, did they see you crying? Is that why? Not hurt at. It didn't hurt anymore? Let me look at it.  Oh, look at his little feet. Okay, it was right here. And it moved right there.  You put the whole foot down, boo boo, on it. So right there, it's still just a little red right there on the side, but it's okay. We're gonna take it off so your feet can grab. JB, JB, JB. No one wants to hear your madness. It's not Friday, it's Sunday, Sunday, church day. Which low key really isn't, it's Sabbath. And I know I'm gonna, I'm wheezing. I'm about to upset some super safe saints. The Sabbath is actually on Saturday. That's a bad word. Uh-oh, I said upset. Did I say the other word? I'm sorry, if I did say the P word, I'm sorry. Hold on baby, don't open it up yet. Yeah, I just got back from the gym. Yes, we got a package from Miss T. I was having a bad week. It's Sunday, it's the last day. It's been a rough week. Go ahead and open it, baby. They can't leave you right here though. I hope this is a meal. Girl, it's a soft hood. You think that's something on my head, girl? Soft hooded dryer. So look, Miss T. My husband's talking. Y'all, I tried those curl formers. Now, you put something on my back. I've tried those curl formers now, twice. I cannot get it to work. I'm gonna try it again. I'm gonna try it with my hair. As soon as I get out to shower and practice it then, I think that, I don't know, I don't know. I've watched Nicki May's video. I've watched Shory Jane's video. This coming Friday, so it'll come, I'm gonna try to do the curl formers at the end of April, so the end of this month. Yeah, oh lord, y'all. I tell you what, I have the best subbies in the world. Look, T, I didn't even realize that she had including, I know, baby, she had included a mattifying, stay matte makeup primer. This is just what I needed, too, girl, because I was like, I need to go get some primer from my face because my pores have been horrible. You don't look like a teapot, no. You don't look like a teapot to me at this point.  This is a cover by the Cranberries. Oh, rest in peace. Elise Singer passed away earlier this year. Can y'all see me? I know the camera is like, I'm in my closet because JP's in the living room. He's on the couch rocking himself to sleep. Y'all, my baby still takes a nap, you know? I think it's because he just sleeps crazy. And he wakes up so early. JP wakes up between five and six every day. Everyone's telling me that it's gonna get better once he goes to school every day, which will honestly be in a couple of more weeks. I'm kinda nervous about him going to summer camp at a big boy's school, quote, unquote, but he'll be fine. Okay, this is all of my makeup. Yeah, this is a bit much. I'll admit to that. This is my train case. This right here was on top of this. This is a one, two, three, four, five drawer. And then I have a four, no, three drawer back there. This is pretty big actually. So I'm gonna go through immediately, toss the stuff I don't want, and then start to organize it. All organized, let me zoom out some. Okay, let's zoom out, Lord. I'll organize, this is my tower. I purchased this tower through Wayfair for like 30 bucks. And again, this goes on top of here. So up here I have all my correctors, concealers, mostly LA colors. I didn't even take this off, oh well. And then my liquid lip glosses, okay. Loose eyeshadow palettes and single eyeshadow. I love these, these are very pigmented. I did a review on these. I love this stuff, love, love, love. Belle Pierre, it's like an Italian brand. And then these are mostly Milani, NYX, one called Wild and Crazy. I used to get a lot of my makeup through a website called Cherry, what is it called, Cherry Couture? I think it was called, I think that's what it was called, but they've shut that site down. It's been a couple of years. This is mostly face products. I have my bronzers, my highlighters. Face powders, some concealers. Oh, hold on y'all, what the hell? What am I gonna do with these? Lord, hold on y'all, I just not saw those. Those were E-Mod sticks, which I'll show you in a minute. Put my makeup brushes to the side so that I can clean them. Here are all my wet and wild palettes. I have nearly all of them, this is sad. I have nearly all of them, they are bad. I mean, I love them, and I've used all of them with the exception of this one. I don't think I've tried this one yet. For going out on Friday, I'm doing a gold and green look, which I will be recording, and I'm gonna show you what lip I'm gonna, I think I'm gonna do. Y'all know I'm known for mixing my lip colors, girl, so yeah, that's wet and wild. This one is just a mixture of different eyeshadows. I have my wet and wild, more Milani, LA colors, Maybelline, L'Oreal, this is a wet and wild palette that kind of rivals the revealed two palette, all right? So that's the tower. On top of the tower, I have some, my lipsticks that were often are up here, all of my foundations, some of my makeup brushes, something that my sister made me. Then I have some more single eyeshadows here that I got from the beauty supply store, cover girl back there.  Anyway, this is full of, I have Coastal Sense makeup palettes, I have blush palette, brow palettes, Emon sticks. Look, let me tell you something, a couple of years ago, they stopped selling Emon in the alters here, all of Phoenix, I cleaned up shop. Now, this is not from there. I mean, this is not, that's been a couple of years, but I love Emon. Ever since then I've been hooked on Emon. Eyebrow palettes, what do you call these? Eyeliner, all right, y'all. And again, my makeup brushes. Okay, so let me show you this. And this is what I'm gonna throw away. I mean, that is not bad. So I'm putting this aside, some of the makeup I'm gonna be wearing for my Get Ready With Me video. Let me tell you something. This right here I think are eyeshadows, but I use them as highlighter and bronzes. Look at that, look at that, it is so pretty. So I'm definitely gonna be using this city color. I purchased this through Amazon. That's gonna go to the side. And as far as lipsticks go, I'm gonna layer my lipstick, excuse me, to create a nude bronze look. But I have this yellow gold that I'm thinking about. And I could tell I've done this before. You excuse my nails, y'all, I'm getting my nails done tomorrow. Anyway, you really can't see it. So what I do typically, and I'm gonna wipe this off clearly, I will put on a nice red and then put this, it's almost like a yellow, can you see that? Sorry. It's almost like a, it's like a yellow gold almost.  Really, really pretty. It's gonna be really, really pretty. I'll make it work, I'll make it work.  It is Tuesday, I am blessed and highly favored, amen? I know, I know, y'all, y'all, you are so extra. I am extra. I'm going my way to the nail salon. I do have another cooking video I'm gonna be recording today. At this point, I'm recording about one cooking video a week, actually about two a week, but I'm not releasing them. Girl, so I have a buttermilk chicken tender. Oh, that chicken tender's were so good. I have a buttermilk pie and an egg pie coming up and Mexican style cornbread. Yeah, just whatever I feel like recording, I'll record for you guys and post those up in a couple of more weeks.  Work got caught up on work and JV's at school, of course. Hold on, y'all. Hey guys, I got my nails done. It is officially hottest hill in Phoenix. My car says 96. Hello? I didn't call you, did you call me? You called me? I put my phone in my purse so it must have doubted you.  Love it. Okay. Mama, mama. I'll call you back. I didn't mean to call you. Okay. Okay, bye-bye. Lord child, my phone, I called my mama. So got my nails done to look like my wedding nails are so pretty, Miss Tina did them. Y'all Miss Tina, poor Miss Tina. She's in a depressed mood because her youngest daughter moved to Oregon and her daughter was telling me, when I was here last time getting my nails done, her daughter was telling me how she was excited to move and she's 23, 24 years old and she's just ready to venture out. Now, girl, these are traditional people. Most Asians in general and every girl is of, if they're from India, if they're from Vietnam, Vietnam, Korea, whatever, your kids ain't supposed to live like that, especially a girl, especially your youngest. So yeah, this is new for her. And so anyway, but I was kinda low key looking at her like, Nina, Miss Tina, like, what are you talking about? She's saying how, cause she's older, Miss Tina's like in her late fifties, okay?  I don't have to be my mom.  I'm not trying to tell the woman's business, but this is what she's telling me, right? She's like, so far I got $15,000 saved up and I'm looking at her and I'm like, oh, okay, but I'm thinking you're gonna have to do a lot more nails and feet to save up and for retirement within five more years, but you never know. This is gonna be my husband's anniversary gift. I purchased this frame, it's like an eight by 11 frame for 99 cents at Goodwill. And then the anniversary gift for the one year is paper, at least the symbolism is paper. So I cut out a printed, excuse me, these maps of where we met and then were places that we visited. We have here Denton, Dallas, and I try to put it in order, chronological order, but not really. We have California, excuse J.B. We have Minneapolis, we have Las Vegas and then last but not least, we have Phoenix to where we live it now. So I don't know, I think this may be too cheesy so I think I'm gonna leave that off. Yeah, I'm gonna leave that off. Now I could have done our names and stuff but I didn't wanna do that either.  Yeah, I was gonna paint it white, but no, I think black would make it pop out more. This entire project cost me $5 because this was $2 and some change. This is $1 and the printout was like $1.50. Yes, $5 anniversary gift. All right, so this is the finished. Then Perfections and Me has no idea why I did this. I accidentally glued this one down a little lower but it's okay and this is what it looks like up. Again, paint it the frame and glue this on. This is cute and simple. Look, if I have time tomorrow, I'm gonna repaint this.  Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna redo this because I can't, no, no, I have to redo it. Yeah, but this is cute. So we have Denton, Dallas, Las Vegas, California, Minnesota, Minneapolis, and Phoenix, they look really cute. Really, really cute. Good morning, you guys. It is, JB, tell them what day it is. It's Friday and I like this one. Mm-hmm, girl, it is Friday. And I'm gonna get another trackmaster.  He has been doing a little bit of theatrical crying when I drop him off, I shouldn't say that. When I drop him at school, he's been crying. Hold on, y'all. I have on my coat, girl, because it's cold. We got a cold front, I'm country. When it hits, when it hits anything below 70, you gotta cover your head, you gotta cover your feet, you gotta cover your, yeah, you gotta cover yourself. So let me see what the temperature is. And depending on how, more than likely, it's gonna get warm, it's 55 right now, 55. Depending on how warm it gets, lady, Ron, it's gonna change up my outfit. I have on my perm bra, y'all, I have no chill, let's see, oh yeah. Let's see, this weather's crazy. It's gonna get up to 79. I have in perm rods because as I said, I don't care. Look, I sacrifice in the daytime so I can slay at night. I told y'all that, did I tell y'all that? Yes, so I'm gonna be taking him to go get his haircut later on just like this. No, no, no, no. Don't care. I'm gonna let her know the same thing. And she sees me, she follows me on Instagram, the barber, she knows what I look like when I put it together. But anyway, on our way to Walmart, I started working last night to get some stuff done. What is this? Oh, Christine, girl, Christine, be getting in to work early on Friday morning. I started working, this thing, when you work from home, you're able to control a little bit of your schedule, depending on what projects come up. So since I know I have stuff to do today and tonight, my husband and I are going out, and we leave early to go out to Paradise Valley. I'm gonna make two of the faces for the camera. Yes, always. I'm doing it right. Always do it. Mm, I don't know what that is. Oh, you got married, that's right. You got married last year? In January. January, oh, okay. I fluffed more than I should have because I wanted big hair. The review is coming of, yeah, see that one I should have left alone after two or three times. I literally unraveled these curls four or five times like that one. Yeah, so very pretty. Let me show you what I'm wearing. Let me just turn the camera around like this.  Just a cute little floral and some jeans. Aren't these cute? Let me show you guys JV's hair. Isn't it cute? Turn around, baby, so they can see you. Because the Mohawk is supposed to go down longer. Can you put your head down? Good morning, you guys. It is Sunday. Look, at this point, this vlog is gonna go from the Sunday before to now this Sunday. It's too early, girl. Let me go ahead and get my coffee going. So yesterday I had a mini-milk down. JV has tons of toys, y'all. He has toys. I know you had a lot of toys because whenever a child would come over here, whenever McKenzie came over here, whenever Thomas from across the street would come over here, they would be like in awe at how many toys he had. I threw out three bins of toys and he still has two and a half bins of toys. Oh yeah, that's what I was saying. I know some people like I'm when I get my husband. Hold on, baby, we're gonna look at it. I know some women, not all. Some women are like, well, I need a minute if I'm gonna take care of all the check. Let me tell you something. Finances are the one thing that we do not and will not ever argue about. He takes care of the larger bills. If you wanna know, it's not in the Yacht business, but he takes care of the larger bills but I manage the household bills. This is how I was raised, this is how we do it. He takes care of the mortgage and the big electricity bill and all that but I manage the bills. Does that make sense? I pay for some of the small bills but I manage everything. I know everything is in both of our names. I manage everything. That's what we do. But what was the point? Every now that I'll forfeit the bill when we go out to eat, I'll drop some money down because I'm okay with that. Most of the time he does take care of it. And then whoever takes care of the bill for lunch, then the other person who is responsible for the daycare fee or whatever. So that's how we do it and it works for us. But look, when we got the bill, I'm like, you had $30 bill for drinks? You need, and it was happy hour. I'm like, you need to. So no, it was really nice. It was really good. But look, I gave him the card while we were out. Girl, I could not stop laughing. I was like, why does it take you so long to read? Are you translating in English? I mean, what are you doing? So he reads it and he kind of giggled. And then he said, did you read this card? He asked me, excuse me.  And I kind of looked at him and I'm like, what is he talking about? And I'm like, yeah, I read the inside. So he proceeds to read the front of the card, girl. It's a card for a same-sex couple. It would say something like, I would like to have someone who is strong and sexy and everything that a, what do I want to say? Everything that a man, we laughed so hard at that. Cause I was like, I clearly, I said it was a cute, neutral colors. I like the color scale. Here's my outfit, you guys. I know you're really cute. So let me turn off the lights. Is that better? This dress I got from the Goodwill, $6.99. $6.99, isn't this cute? Really, really cute. I was going to pair it with a yellow slim belt, but this thing is a little, it's form-fitting. So yeah, it'll do, it'll do. And this is what my hair is looking like. Simple black necklace and some earrings. Let me go get the baby. Come on, boo-boo, can you, can you just look once at the, it's so cute. So I say, yeah, you don't have to wear a bow tie every Sunday. He's playing. So precious. All right, you guys. Y'all take care. Can you say bye? No, they will let us, y'all, we're outside of Papadose and on our way. I don't know where I'm going to go. I'm, I'm frustrated and I'm tired. So I'm like, let me just go home, J.B. Cause I'll just eat something there. Came up here to Papadose, which is like 10 minutes away from my house.  It's good, but it ain't, it's not like the Papadose back home. I will say this anyway. The manager, he touched the water, the manager was basically like, oh, he can't bring that shake in here. Cause he has a milkshake from McDonald's. I said, okay, that's fine. I said, is it okay with his little snacks? And she was like, are y'all here for a birthday party? I said, no. She said, well, we have a kids menu. We have chicken. We have, I said, he doesn't eat any of that. That's why I bring his own snacks. So they're like, no, so it's, it's not right. There's rules. You know, I don't, I don't have to patronize here. I can go somewhere else, you know, that it will accept him bringing his food. So I really had my mouth set on some catfish. I really do when I would touch the water. He's worried about touching the dang on fountain water and I want some food. Baby, we're going to go get some food. Okay.


So I want to thank everyone for coming out for showing up for today's presentation about learning the five components of an automated marketing system. So this is a fun presentation for me. I'll get to share some expertise about what I love to do and help share some of what I've learned over time about digital marketing and specifically for websites. So let's just jump right on in. All right. So a little about me. My name is George Woodard. I'm a WordPress marketing website specialist. Basically, I love building websites for a living. I've been doing this now for over 10 years, working with B2B nonprofits and government agencies over the last 10 years. I enjoy what I do and I enjoy having fun doing this. And the favorite part of it is the teaching aspects. I get to teach other agencies and groups about how I get to serve in my capacity. Certified WordPress developer, certified digital business consultant, and I've helped and served and built, supported, hosted the north of three thousand websites in my career. So I have quite a bit of experience in this. So without further ado, let's just jump right in. First, you need marketing help. I want you to think about what it takes to actually market your nonprofit or any business for that matter. There's a lot of work involved. There's a lot of manual labor that goes into it. And on this specific case, it there is a lot of challenges that go along with digital marketing, specifically the website. So what would your business or your nonprofit be like? If the phone didn't ring, emails didn't come through and no one visited your website. Unless you're unicorn that relies solely on word of mouth referrals. You have thousands of fans that are promoting you every day. You need a marketing system in place and you need new leads that can convert to donors. Without these, you're limited to your existing amount of leads or a existing amount of donors and just quite naturally over time that doing those down so you want to make sure you have systems in place that perform the actions of marketing for you. So you would be able to generate a pipeline, just almost on demand of leads that can convert to donors that would attend whatever programs that you have, purchase any services that you may offer, et cetera, et cetera. Getting started with doing this means having a website that attracts visitors into taking a positive action step. Action steps can be anything.  There's so many different ways that you can determine positive action steps for your audience to turn into leads that can eventually turn into donors or people who are raving fans of what services that you offer. Some of those are great. They should never be discounted. However, you need to remember that they require a lot of it, requires administrative time and effort to review and follow up with people. There's a lot of just energy that goes into doing that. And not everyone is going to be suitable for you. That's something that a lot of people struggle to understand. Why are people not converting? Why isn't everyone doing it? That's actually not the point. You don't want everybody to to join your team. You don't want everyone to be a client of yours. You don't want everyone in your audience. You only want the people in your audience that should be there for you, that will be fans of you that support your mission, support your goals.  That's just the bottom line. You want to make sure you have people in your audience that are suitable for what you provide to be able to do that. The best way is having a marketing system, having an automated marketing system. Your website can help you generate or attract the type of people you want to work with, potential joint ventures, clients, getting the message out there of the services and the help that you can provide and offer products, even if you're hosted symposiums or any type of conferences. Having all of these systems in place will position you as the expert, educate your perspective audience on who you are, what you provide, what do you do, and that just makes people want to be your fan and want to work with you. And that all sounds great, but you can have this. So, the goal of today's presentation, I'm going to show you how you can benefit from an automated marketing system. I help you save money in time and it will work with your existing website or if you ever down the line decide to want to create like a website RFP to redesign your website. These are a lot of the pieces that you want to add into it. So without further ado, the first portion is the actual system itself, the overarching design, the what the system is, what it is. It's a marketing system. You have many different components of this marketing system that are in place that will help you with the lead generation tactics. It's basically the marketing system is a process that helps takes visitors on your website through a series of what's called micro commitments that eventually lead to an end goal. This end goal could be numerous of things. If you have services that you offer to a certain audience, that's one goal. If you have any specific products, if your organization is selling baskets that help provide food for the community, that's one thing. If you're providing consultation services to your nonprofit, it's so many different goals that you can come up with. Book a call with your team. There's so many different things, but it's literally automated system that takes your visitor from your website through micro commitments and helps lead them to an end goal. That's all that is. A visitor will come to a specific page on your website promoting the content that they can receive for signing up. And the pieces of content that you're providing is a valuable piece of content, something that helps them achieve a goal or is related to a specific problem that they may have. After they've opted in to receive the content, take it to a thank you page, then that's what they can learn more about who you are, what your mission is. And you have an opportunity here to actually share more key information about your organization, which will drive down what's called your bounce rate on your website. And this keeps them engaged with who you are. The best thing about that is that a lot of that works in a systematic way. You're putting sections on your website that has more content related to whether it's a specific value that you're providing for your piece of content or if it's just more relatable content that you've already written blog posts if you have ebooks, white papers or whatever. Any of those pieces of content will help you. And then after they've done it over the next following days, they'll receive a series of emails from you. And what this does is help nurture the person to be able to convert, get to the end goal that you're trying to accomplish. The purpose of these emails, they provide additional free content that builds on top of the information that you provided before. It provides additional quick wins and it also shows additional expertise on your end. So there's a lot of why behind doing some of that information. In the beginning, that's the welcoming sequence. And this is the second point on this slide. You have your welcoming sequence, welcome them. Thank them for signing up. It gives them a base component of letting the person know that you're grateful for them joining your audience. Then the next system nurturing emails and then eventually it was called Closer, which is a call to action. Getting them to convert to the end goal that you originally created the system for. And now moving on, you have the next component which is the problem. What is your focus? What is it that you are trying to focus on? Think about the key service that you may have and backing up with the system. There's a little bit of a tip. You can pick one service that you offer, whatever it may be, or you're the product and focus on this for your automated system. And this can be one of your key offerings. Write this down on a piece of paper and we'll help you build on this throughout the presentation. And then part of the problem, this is your focus. Think about the key service that you've written down previously. What does it solve? How does it make them feel, make your audience feel after the problem is solved? How does it make their life or other people's lives better? Your answer to these questions helps create the content that you should be using in your automated marketing system. And in fact, this is actually a good way to help generate content overall on your website, new blog posts, even off-site all for your website, going through social media, creating the posts that you need to post on LinkedIn, on Twitter, on Facebook. There are so many ways that you can leverage that. But your service that you provide, that's gonna be the focus of what your service solves or what your product solves will be the focus of this automated system. And just thinking about that, you wanna write down the biggest problem that your audience has. That this solves, usually between one to three problems would be ideal. And once you've figured out that part, you can come up with five reasons that your service solves this problem. Can't you do that? I'm sure you can. I know a lot of times, these types of exercises are a little harder, but you can be able to do that. Take those five reasons and expound on them. Come up with the benefits that your service can solve those issues. The benefits are the end result for your audience. So you want to focus on the problems that you're solving with the five reasons and make them into benefits, not features. You wanna make sure that what you're solving is beneficial to your audience. So these end up being the end result of what your audience gets from problem that you solve. This is how they feel. This is how it changes their life. This is how it impacts them and help alleviate any problems that they have. So you wanna focus on that and it would help you speak directly to your intended audience. And what you do by taking these five reasons, you'll actually convert them into something what's called a lead magnet. I'm sure you've probably heard this before at some point, but this is a way to generate a lead magnet. You take your five reasons, answer the questions and then create your lead magnet. Turn into a PDF document, typically less than 10 pages. In my experience in this day and time, people don't tend to read as much, but if you're providing a piece of content that's extremely valuable, that's engaging as well to your audience, that will actually draw them in and make them, not make them, but it would help them to stay more engaged in reading what you're providing. So that 10 page length max, I would try to stay around eight, which is best, but 10 at max. And the purpose of it is just answers all the questions that your audience has and provides specific action points that deliver value. So moving on to the next portion is the actual automation itself. This is the bread and butter of your assistant. One of the biggest limiting factors that we have, especially in marketing, it's just time and time. It seems like time is on its own these days, it's moving to the beat of its own drum. So time is just slowly getting away from us in a quicker pace. So when it comes to marketing, the same thing applies. One of the biggest limiting things is time. We're constantly juggling multiple deadlines, multiple projects, multiple initiatives. So you wanna make sure you're utilizing your time the best way possible. So the biggest benefit is having an automation. And this will bring you a lot of ease. And basically automation will bring to you that it will simply save you time and money. Once your automated marketing system is set up, there's a full process that each lead will follow. Literally, you're taking them through what we referred to earlier as microcommitments. They sign up, okay, cool. The system sends the welcome sequence. They open that email, that's another microcommit. Maybe throughout the nurturing email sequence, maybe there's some links within those emails that drives them to additional content. Ideally on your own website, that's another microcommit. They're staying engaged with your audience. They're learning more about what you provide. So it just all starts in that pattern. They sign up, they obtain the lead magnet. Once they obtain the lead magnet, then they jump right into the nurturing sequence. And the automated system, or the sequence I should say, will help nurture your prospect, providing value, education, giving them opportunities to gain quick wins for them that delivers immediate value, which is the thing you really wanna do because what that does is create the emotional commitment for them. And it helps them to relate better to what you're providing in the services or products that you're offering. And then the call to action. What do you want them to do at the end of this? Do you want them to give you a call? Phone number can be added. With today's time, what people use on smartphones, if you add a phone number into an email, it actually can be linked to where if they click it, it'll call directly to you. Do you want them to sign up for a consultation service or is there a program that you have that you wanna sign up for? You're selling boxes. It's just so many different goals that you can come in, but you wanna focus on your specific call to action. Making sure that the commitments that they are going through will eventually come down to some type of conversion that you would like them to do.  They join your list. They've learned more about what you provide now. You want to get them to convert over to being a client of yours or donor or take advantage of the service of the products you offer. So at the end of your nurturing sequence, you wanna create the call to action email and it leads them directly to what you want them to do and start creating these emails that for the nurture sequence and the call that. That's always recommended that if you're creating these emails that they're structured behind the problems that you're solving and then when you get to the call to action email, it makes it a lot easier for them or a lot that makes the prospective person a lot more willing to move further because they've been a lot more engaged with the content that you provide. I so far hope this is helpful. But moving on to the next component is pipeline. So, simply put here is the component of this component of the automated system is building a predictable pipeline of leads. If you think about it, having a pipeline of leads don't a prospective clients, that's what drives your organization. Without them, lights don't stay on. That's just simply put, no matter how you drive them into your organization, you'll have some systems and process in place. I want them to, some systems and processes in place to be able to follow up and offer whatever offer product service consultations, whatever that you are providing. It's all too common to be on that roller coaster. I'm sure we've all been there for one month you have millions of people contacting you wanting to take advantage of what you offer. And then your head now works as hard as you can to deliver. And then by the second, third, fourth month goes down. You don't hear from anybody that you're like questions. The website broke in or was our phones broken and you're like our emails messed up. It's just so many things.  Putting automated systems in place like this will help explode this pipeline and bring in a steady supply of lead. You want that to happen. You don't want to be constantly like this every month because that can stretch you out. Just plainly put that can stretch you out. We only have so much time to do so many things. So, if you can delegate tasks into automation to solve a lot of those operational problems having an automated marketing system is one of them. And that will help you out immensely. These prospective people are entering into your system and they'll be nurtured without any need for additional touch points. So, you don't have to hire a whole another team to step in and do a lot of the tasks. You have a system in place that will perform these tasks for you. And then also having those same systems, having analytics behind it to see how well you're performing. That's even the biggest thing. That's another big thing apart of the two. Is that you want to not only have it in place to perform but you want to see how well it's performing because the best thing behind that is to be able to optimize it to where you can scale even further in building a bigger pipeline or if your operations and your organization is growing. You can start offering more things, more services, more products and then you already have the system in place to be able to help you out with your marketing. Most importantly, you want to build trusts and you want to be well known as the people who know, be well known by people who know and trust you and having these systems, you're doing that type of trust building. You are creating more sanity in your operation. In addition, once your system is in place, you can use the data to understand how your conversion rate works. So for example, let's say you have an average of 200 new leads coming into your system each month and then of these new leads, these 200 new leads, you have 25 of them are booking calls with you at the end of the process, at the end of the system. That's one that they make it to your call to action and they click on the link. 25 of them are actually booking a call to speak with your team. And then from those particular calls, you nail five new donors for the month. That's a 2.5% conversion rate. So you have 200 leads coming in and of those 205 of them actually converted new donors. That's 2.5% conversion rate. That sounds low, but believe it's not industry standard is around 2%. So that's actually not bad to have a conversion rate at that rate. But if you think about it this way, would have each of these new donors were worth $2,000 to your organization? That is $10,000 that's directly attributed to this new marketing system. And then also, what if you can increase that conversion rate to 5%? I mean, just double that. You don't have to get in the 20s or 15, just increase it to 5%. You increase your, or you can increase your new leads to 400. And then you're at $20,000, excuse me, a new business a month. Just knowing this information, understanding the data, is extremely important for your organization. You can take a glance at the number of the new leads entering your system at any time. And it helps you feel good that you have something in place that is taking the burden off of you of having to reach out, having to do follow-ups, having to create or generate content on demand. You have a system in place that is already doing that for you. They're coming in at any time. And this thing runs 24-7. That's another beautiful thing. You know how we keep mentioning time? We're only not allowed to, but we only choose to work, maybe eight hours a day, maybe 10. But if you have something running 24-7 that's doing this for you, then that's something that will help you out to where you can do it while you're asleep. Just think about how great that is. And then just another tip, just look at your current self or your current pipeline. Do you know what your current conversion rate is? Do you even follow the data of your current pipeline? Even if you're only able to look at the number of leads that you're getting and the number of conversions that has turned into, that steals some valuable data. So you wanna make sure that you're following the data. The devils and the details as that old saying goes, if you're following the data, that will help you understand your pipeline, understand where your leads are coming from. Channels are working better than others. For some people, social media works better. For some others, using paid ads works better. For other people, maybe they're coming from previous events. You just don't know if you don't have the data that's tracking your leads coming in. So you wanna make sure your pipeline is set up. And then that sets you up for the future where you can test, tweak, and continuously build and scale some more. It's not a whimsical thing of looking at what might happen. You literally have actionable information that you can use within your business. And when we touched on it briefly about the pipeline, it's important looking at your data. Because again, looking at your data will help you focus with optimizing what you're providing. And you're looking at your conversion rate. Do you do that to help improve the conversions that are coming into the business? So you want to, again, I can't stress that enough, make sure you're looking at your data. And there's many ways that you can look at the data. Let me cover that briefly. One of the most widely used ones these days for data analytics is Google Analytics. And it's helpful that it might not work the best for you. And it could work the best for you. But Google Analytics is a perfect start. You can see what pages people are coming to, what countries people are coming from, how long people are on your website, how long people are staying on the pages. Looking at that data will help you understand where you should put your efforts with steering this system. So if you're steering it to the places that people are frequently coming from, then that will help you scale and optimize your offer to start bringing in more leads and more opportunities. So the aim of it is optimizing the content so your system is able to generate leads and eventually convert them. And by making small changes of copy, your content of the actual copy on your email, you believe this or not, there is a thing called AB testing where you can test or optimize the subject line of your emails. Believe it or not, that's actually something that's helpful. If you're sending out emails to your audience and you notice on the first run that not that many people are responding and you do a small tweak to your subject line and then you notice with that tweak, you have maybe a 10% more gain in people signing up that right there's a win. You wanna make sure that you're doing out, doing those type of tests, maybe even changing the cover of your lead magnet.  Changing the cover, making that type of tweak can also help draw in the people that you're trying to speak to. Carrying out these tests, it's important to also keep in mind just changing one or two things. You don't wanna do a lot of tests because if you're making a lot of changes, you're never gonna be able to track the effectiveness of the optimization that you're doing. And once you have the system in place, just move on to the next one. And it's not uncommon for businesses to have multiple systems in place for different things. There's an automated system that you can have for a webinar that you presented, kind of like this. If you can record the webinar and then turn it to automated Legion systems, you can write an e-book. I mentioned earlier having a lead magnet, which is between five to about eight to 10 pages. That is one way. You can also have consultations. There's so many different ways. You can offer an email course. There's so many different options out there, but it's not uncommon for businesses to have multiples. So if it's a few different ways that you can attract your leads, set it up, start with the first one, get the first one in place, get it up and running, look over it for the first month, look at the number of people who signed up, how many of these who have booked calls, who have purchased, who have donated, all kinds of things. Just set up your first one, use this as a base, make your tweaks, make your optimization. And then once that first one has gotten to a point where this is the best one that can run, then copy, paste, let's repeat. You can create your new systems and duplicate it for different offers. Then next thing you have multiple systems, bring in multiple leads from multiple places. And then you have a full, basically marketing team that's in place that will help take care of a lot of your marketing that only, that limits you because of time. So having those multiple systems will just take a lot of that burden off of you. You only limit yourself based on the number of systems that you have. And your only limit with new systems will be your ability to handle the new leads it generates if you have multiple systems. So in addition, you can use these problems, questions, content, like any of the responses that you get back from your audience, from the nurture sequence. Maybe there's some questions in there that you're putting in for user surveys or you're using the questions in the email to gauge or gauge how your audience responds to certain things. Those responses can be turned into content. Let's say you send out, you have an email nurture sequence and there's three of the emails have one question each. And your responses to that is numerous. That's four to five new blog posts, right? It's just that simple. Or you can do a podcast. That's another Legion opportunity. You take that. Those responses from those emails and that can be the topics for episodes for your podcast or if you have a YouTube channel. And like I said, there's so many different ways that you could spin it up. The YouTube video portion, you can create content answers a lot of the same questions and points to users. The video could be like a summary of the entire system and then to get the more in-depth information point them to the landing page in the description. They click on it, sign up, bam. There you go. Do you and your team create blog articles? That's great. To repurpose that content, create valuable information that leads users towards your system. They can be optimized to rank higher in search engines. And that's another source of traffic for your organization. There are so many ways that you can accomplish this. And here's another tip. Think about how you can repurpose the content you've created for your system. The problems that your clients have or your prospective clients has or even the problems that you're solving that your donors are relating to and the questions they might ask you. There's so many ways that can be answered. The content you create can direct traffic into your system and that can help you educate, nurture, convert, create joint venture partners. There's limit, the sky's limit. You can create opportunities for your organization as many times over by putting systems like this in pace. And when you just think about it at the end of the day, engage, leads, spend more. If the goal is donations, someone who's engaged with your brand, engaged with your content, that creates more of a related relationship between the two of you to where they now feel compelled to wanna donate to the cause they want to. If the tidbit of information that they got from your lead magnet and lead gen system is that great, then that's prompting them to want to, let me get this consultation. I wanna sign up and find out more about what they're providing. I wanna speak to someone on the team. Like someone that is engaged with your brand, with your organization, they will be more compelled to donate. They will be more compelled to convert. They will be more compelled to do any of those micro commitments even further than what they've already done. I just overall, I hope you enjoyed the overview of how I put together creating this automated system. A lot of cover, there's a lot of information to cover, but it's just the basic set of principles. People these days, they convert based on emotion and they buy from people they know and trust. That's the NKLT, that's what it's called, know and trust. When you show a prospective person that you understand their problem or you relate to their problem, you're willing to educate them a lot more and you're willing to nurture them through your system and provide the solution that they're looking for, you're creating what's called an emotive response that's driven off emotion. Your system will create a number, it will have or contain a number of micro commitments. Starting from the moment a new prospect chooses to sign up to receive your content. And each step that they do along the way, whether it's clicking on a link, actually opening the email itself or even responding to the email, that's just another commitment. That helps drive them to the end goal that you're trying to get them to do, which is book a call, purchase a product, sign up for an event that's exactly what you want to have. Using an automated system like this, you're ensuring that your organization is dealing with people who are engaged in informed. They're receiving the value that you're delivering and they're ready to take the next step. They have the discussion with you about how they can help you provide donations to you or how you can help them with services or consultations that you can provide for them. Having this type of system could help you say goodbye to unpredictable rollercoaster every month. Promise you it would help you out. Having that steady flow leads gives you and your team an opportunity to pick and choose who you want to work from. And that will also help solidify the sanity in your operation. So I hope all this was great, you know, this side. And again, I love enjoying giving these type of presentations to help drive home a lot of these principles when it comes down to digital marketing. I love doing what I do and I have fun doing it. So I hope all of this information was very helpful. I hope you enjoyed it. I want to say thank you for tuning in to this presentation. If you want, keep an eye out over the next few days. I'll send out a few emails that'll follow up with some additional tips and ideas for you. But if in the meantime you have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out. Again, my name is George Woodard. I'm the Mark Humworth site specialist and senior WordPress developer at L-Squared Media Group. And I hope you a great day.


The long-awaited Samsung Galaxy S8 has arrived at Appalachian Wireless. Get yours for the introductory price of just $149.99 with a two-year service agreement, better service, bigger savings. That's today's Appalachian Wireless, an East Kentucky network company. Good news for one softball player around the region today. Eastridge's Kaylee Sloan signed her letter of intent to play softball for the University of Pikeville. Kaylee is a catcher for the Eastridge Lady Warriors and currently holds a 392 batting average over the course of 28 games this season. I caught up with Kaylee following the signing to talk about her commitment and a little about the upcoming district play. It was amazing being able to play four years with all the girls and everything. I was very blessed to be able to play with all of them, the great coaches that I had and so I'm very thankful for that. And I'm thankful to be blessed to be able to play at the next level. Well, Terry always says, you always have to look at the game that's next. You just got to focus on the next game. So right now we're going to focus on winning the first round and going on to win the district and then we'll focus on reaching from there. Definitely miss the girls. I'll miss the girls the most. And of course, I'll miss Terry and Jill and all the practices that we've had and stuff and we cut up with each other and stuff. So I'll definitely, I'll miss them the most, more than anything.


Alright, the last topic we are going to look at is going to be lift. So we've spent some time looking at drag on bodies. Now we are going to look at lift and lifting bodies. Okay, so here we have a lifting body. This could be a finite wing. And what I've drawn in the image, our number of things, the width of a wing section is referred to as being the span, and we use B for that. The cord length is from the leading edge. The leading edge is up here to the trailing edge. The trailing edge is down there. So the cord length is C. And the thickness would be the maximum thickness along the cord length, and so that is denoted by T. And we calculate the area, usually the plan form area, that would be B times C. And finally, I've drawn a line, although fairly poorly. This is supposed to be the cord line. And so what the cord line does is it goes from the trailing edge up to the leading edge and then it extends. And the angle of attack of the airfoil or the wing section with respect to the free stream is alpha. And that's denoted there. And V infinity obviously is the free stream velocity. So the net result of this, remember we said lift was always perpendicular to V infinity and drag was parallel with it. So what you're going to get out of this is you will have a lift force on this object and you will also have a drag force. Okay. Now the way that we characterize lift characteristics on any kind of body, be it an aerodynamic body or not, we use the lift coefficient, very much like what we saw for the drag coefficient. And the nature of that is going to depend upon whether it's a finite body like we just saw or if it's a two-dimensional section of an airfoil. And if it's a finite body, we give it capital L to denote that this is 3D lift. L would be the lift force and then we divide by our dynamic pressure and some characteristic area in this case, plan form. So that would be 3D lift. And if you are only looking at a section, a section of a cross section of an airfoil, not a three-dimensional section, then we would use L prime to denote lift per unit length and dividing by, again, the dynamic pressure and we would use the cord for the length. And so this is referred to as being 2D lift and L prime is lift per unit span. So there's a designation a little L and a big L and it's similar for drag coefficient. For any kind of lifting body, we always do characterize the drag through the drag coefficient just like we saw earlier for cylinders and spheres. Okay, now lift and drag, both of these, C L or C D, these are going to be functions of a number of variables. One obviously is going to be the angle of attack of our body with respect to the free stream. And the other one is the Reynolds number and that will be based on, actually I shouldn't put D there because the characteristic length here is going to be the cord length. So when we're looking at lifting bodies at an airfoil, we will compute Reynolds number based on the cord length. And what people have done is they've collected enormous amounts of data characterizing all different types of airfoil cross sections. Those are plotted up in plots with the lift curve or drag or moment characteristics. So what we're going to do now, we're just going to quickly take a look at a NACA airfoil. And what we're going to be looking at is the NACA 2412. And so we'll begin with the video clip. And what this NACA 2412 is doing is it is undergoing a sweep process where the angle of attack is changing. So let's take a look at that. So here we have the NACA 2412. I draw a cord line in there and from that I'm able to calculate 1.7 degrees. Lift coefficient from experimental data is 0.45, not from the data here but that's from other curves that what other people have collected. Then figuring out the angle of attack. Here we have it at 3.3 degrees. Lift coefficient would be 0.55. You can see the flow is going smoothly over the airfoil. Put the angle of attack a little higher. Here we go up to 6.7 degrees. The lift coefficient is now around 0.9. And then the final angle of attack that we go to, draw on the cord line here, 10 degrees. You can see some separation. Lift coefficient is now 1.2. So it's getting quite high and there's onset of separation, what appears to be separation here, the trailing edge. If we were to go a little bit higher, 12, 13 degrees, that's when you start getting separation and you would see the consequences of that with separated flow on the top of the airfoil. Now, in terms of data what we normally will do is we will take the lift curve or the lift coefficient and we plot it as a function of alpha. And so for an airfoil like we just looked at, the one with camber, what happens is the lift curve slope at alpha equals 0, or not the slope, the lift curve, the lift coefficient is going to be above 0. So if we were dealing with like an ACA-0012 or an ACA-0015, a symmetric airfoil, the first two numbers denote that it's symmetric. We would have the lift coefficient that would be at 0 at alpha equals 0. So this is alpha equals 0 degrees. But what they would do is they would go in and they would do this alpha sweep and they would, using a force balance, would measure the lift coefficient as a function of angle. And then eventually what's going to happen is you're going to get up in here where the lift drops all of a sudden. And this is where you're getting the onset of separated flow. And this is what they refer to as being stall. If you're in an aircraft, that's the last thing you want to have happen because you will quickly start dropping or the pilot will lose control. Either one of those is very, very bad. So anyways, this would be the characteristic for an example of a NAC. We looked at a 2412. The first two numbers here denote camber and I think it denotes the thickness at a given location. Actually no, this denotes thickness. I think it's how far off of the chord line it is and where it would be. I apologize, I can't remember what the first two numbers were, but I know they denote the fact that it is not a symmetric airfoil. And then it would go down. And if you're dealing with something like a 0012 or 0015, then we would pass through zeros. So that would be a symmetric airfoil. So that is how the data is plotted and then there will also be moments. Sometimes they'll have moments about the quarter chord and there will also be drag. And so you'll get the drag characteristics for the airfoil. So with that and looking at what we know in this course through Bernoulli and looking at our airfoil section, what we saw in the video, we saw the flow coming along, stagnation stream line coming up over the top and then there's a stream line coming off the trailing edge. But what's happening here is the upper region has a higher velocity and there are a number of different ways that you can explain that. Some people say that the fluid has to take a longer path on the top. That's kind of a junior type of approximation. Really what's happening is you get circulation that is built up due to the flow around the airfoil and that gives you a net lift as a result of the circulation. And that would be something that you'd study in a more advanced course in fluid mechanics. That V upper is a higher velocity and consequently, and VL down here, this is a lower velocity. So assuming that we have your rotational flow, we can apply Bernoulli's equation. So if we have V low lower and V upper higher and the left and the right have to equate to one another, the consequence of that is that up here we have a lower pressure and I'm denoting the region above the airfoil. So we would be looking up in this region here and then down here with respect to that, this is a higher pressure. And consequently, what happens is we have a pressure differential and that pressure differential is what results in the lift on the airfoil. So P upper is lower than P lower and then we get net force up and that results in the lift and that's what we saw in the lift curve. So the lift coefficient plotted as a function of alpha. So that is lift. We've looked at drag, external viscous flows and that concludes the course. So I'd like to thank you for your attention. I hope you enjoyed it. I hope you learned something about fluid mechanics and introductory course. If we were to go on and do more advanced things in fluid mechanics, we would look closer at things such as the Navier-Stokes equations, we would look at solutions there. We would look at potential flow modeling. So the situation where we have sources, things, vortices, and you could compute flows around an airfoil like this, we could look at things like compressible flow, we could look at turbo machinery, open channel flow. We haven't looked at that, that would be of interest to civil engineers. So there are many, many different areas in fluid mechanics that could still be explored. This one just scratches the surface, a little bit of an overview. We went fairly quickly through a lot of the different aspects of fluid mechanics but hopefully it has you interested in fluid mechanics and willing to pursue further studies. So thank you for your attention. Goodbye.


Welcome to Access to Trader, the number one community for those who are committed to taking control of their trading in order to achieve success, profitability, and longevity. Thank you for joining us. Here's Dan Shapiro to help you find your edge, master your process, and own your future. Hey, guys. Good to be here, buddy. Welcome to another edition of the AccessToTrader.com, that we wrap up, show hope everybody is doing well. Just a quick announcement before we kind of go on, obviously a lot of stuff is going on. So many headlines just in the last 24 hours that just having your head spin, you're almost kind of losing track of what day it is, but there are rumors going around that things get much worse, which again, they absolutely can as far as the spread of this virus. I think the mayor of New York City issued some sort of state of emergency. So there's rumors going around that they actually might close the floors of the New York Stock Exchange on the AmEx. The fact that everything now is digital and there's off-sites and everything in between. But if there is some sort of like stoppage and trading for any day, and again who knows if there is or won't, but if there is, what we'll do that day is I'll send out a link to the public and for all you guys who need some help, whatever the case may be, that day we'll have kind of like a town hall meeting, I'll try to help as many people out as possible. So kind of look out for that just in case, just in case, because we do, again, at the end of the day, we want to make sure that everybody is in the right frame of mind and the most important part is even though if the market will be closed at any point, and I personally think I think the market should just for everybody to kind of get their feet under them, to kind of take care of some affairs, but if there is a day that there is no trading, we'll definitely do something for you guys to just make sure you look out for that. So let's talk about it, right? 24 hours of craziness, yesterday a big sell-off, okay? Everybody was waiting for Trump's kind of two cents of what is going on, what their plans are, and I'll tell you, it looked pretty bad. He came on nine o'clock Eastern time, it kind of looked bad. He looked kind of all choked up, whether he was very uncomfortable reading the teleprompter, whatever the case may be, just it didn't look right, didn't really give a lot of answers. He did provide some information about a travel ban, okay, in Europe for the exception of the UK, I believe, again, yesterday feels like four months ago. So I apologize if I don't have all the details, but it just really didn't sit great with the market, really didn't implement anything that felt good, and the future started selling off, we were down a thousand points last night, you know, overnight. Again, you saw another, you saw another curb program trading halt at the open for 15 minutes. This is the second one we had recently, and slowly but surely, you started seeing, you know, more and more headlines of how it's, you know, how this virus is affecting mainstream, and you see, you know, just a matter of time that you saw, you saw last night Tom Hanks and his wife talk about, well, they got tested positive while they're in Australia, you saw the Utah Jazz, right? You saw Rudy Gobert announced that he was positive, which David Siller, the NBA Commissioner, right away suspended the season this morning, you saw Donovan Mitchell, same team, so you're gonna see a lot more of that because everybody's playing each other, everybody's touching, you know, hands and all that stuff, so you're going to see a lot of that. So again, you know, unfortunately, that's just where we are right now, and you know, this is not gonna be, you know, this is not gonna be, unfortunately, taking care of right away. This is something we're gonna have to live with. I believe the UK, a representative of the UK, said they believe there's not gonna be any type of resolve, at least for another, you know, 10 to 15 weeks. And again, at this point, I think all of us would, you know, take, you know, would almost sign up for two months worth of a kind of a blow off top into this virus. So a lot of stuff is going on. You saw this afternoon, the Fed came in. This is like literally when I was at lunch, Fed came in, injected, and I'm literally reading all of this, $1.5 trillion in liquidity, and the market rallied. The market was down 2000, rallied to down 900. And then again, the virus basically super trumped, you know, no pun intended, but it trumped any headlines of the Fed and we closed down 10% of the Dow and everything went down with it. And again, you know, I made this statement that, you know, I think a lot of people, number one, I'm not in the camp of the whole, you know, doom and gloom. This is the end of the world.  We survived the financial crisis. We're gonna survive this. Okay, we're gonna survive this. But the key is to educate yourself what to do, what not to do. Again, don't go into crowd theaters.  It's just not worth it. You know what I mean? It's just not worth it.  Just your hygiene should be on point. Shower as much as you can. You know, you're seeing a lot of school closings right now. I'm pretty confident in my kids' schools. We done next week for a while. I'm pretty confident to say that. So again, just take care of your business at home. Okay, it's the most important part. But from the trading aspect, again, like we talked about in last night's video, do what's working.   I want, you know, for me, values on the downside. I mean, the downward opens, you know, anytime I see a downward open, especially with any type of fear, 300, 500, 900 points, you know, we've been saying this for days and days and days and weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks, the values always to the upside. Again, we said that this morning. We said that yesterday is a day before. And that's kind of my plan is and that's with the course of action because we're getting at least two or three really aggressive waves in the middle of the day that are giving good channels to the upside. And all you need to do is catch a couple of these things and you're and you're good to go. But the one thing that I started thinking about today was was what I was thinking about during the financial crisis. If you guys remember, a lot of people lost their jobs, right?  A lot of people just lost their jobs, lost their homes, lost their jobs, and nobody was hiring. I mean, really, it was just kind of like the credit markets were frozen. Dammit, you couldn't get a library card. You know, forget about credit card, you couldn't get a library card. And a lot of people who didn't have jobs, they kind of they were a magnet to the stock market. It was like they're natural. They're, you know, it was like they're kind of natural indication of where they should go.  And there was a lot of really new traders that came into the market out of out of desperation, because well, this was the only place of this and maybe, you know, gambling on sporting events. But this was the only venue that they could have actually sit down and try to create some sort of, you know, try to create some sort of value, some sort of income for themselves, because there was no hiring was a hiring freeze in every walks of aspect of life. And it was very, very hard. And when those traders came into 2007 2000 2009, they became, and again, I don't mean this in a mean way, but they became food, right? They became food for professional traders. And what I mean by that is because they were coming in with such desperation, because they couldn't get any income in other places. This was their shot. This was their Hail Mary first play of the game to not only, you know, only make money to make some some real money. And obviously, we know how the story goes. When you trade out of desperation, you're going to have desperation type of results and it usually never works out. And I said it today on social media, and I said it today throughout the, throughout the webinar, that I feel like this is such an important time of our lives, even at this stage of my career, you know, 2021 years in, you know, this is an area that we are really trying to educate ourselves and putting ourselves in a position that we can take advantage of the new right, the new desperation, the new people who are who can't get a job who are losing sight of, you know, real time liquidity and their assets are being depleted. And the moral of the story is they're going to get in and the more times that you are putting yourself in a situation that you are seeing the market for it is kind of finding your niche to kind of navigate day in, day out. It's a very, very good opportunity that when the new round of people, okay, when the new round of people enter the arena, they become your food. It's not, I'm not saying that in a demeaning way, I'm not making fun of anybody. This is just the reality. So what you're learning now and again, it might look like the end of the world to you, this is the absolute worst thing that could happen to you. But in a weird way, this is the greatest thing that could happen to you, because you are seeing market structure for all its purposes. And for anybody who's been trading the markets for the last 10 to 15 to 20 years, they'll tell you, of course it's terrible. Of course we all want a bull market. But there's ways to take advantage of the food, right? And that's the most important part. And unfortunately, with this new round of people entering the arena, if you're trading for a year, you have a big leg up on them. If you're trading for five years, you have a huge, huge, huge leg up on them. And if you're trading 10 to 15, 20 years, you kind of know what to expect. So it's critical. It's absolutely crucial, even if you're not an active participant right now, on the day to day market, understand what is happening, understand the market structure, why it's failing, understand the massive catalyst, what's taking a lot of people's assets and pretty much sending them the hell in a handbasket. Understand all this, because if you can wrap your mind around everything that's going on, eventually when things kind of flat line, and we start to learn more and more about this again, this is a very, very first level, first inning of anything that's going on with this virus. We need more information to understand. But finally, when we really start to grasp exactly what's going on and they finally knock on wood, cross our fingers, find an anecdote, the market's going to start to plateau. When the market starts to, excuse me, the market's going to start to bottom out. When the market starts bottom out, eventually bad news will get embraced and engulfed. We're just not there yet. And again, the most important part, guys, figure out every single part of this market. Order flow, option flow, the days to push, the days and not to push. Just understand this is a cash flow market. Nobody's looking for that home run trade. Again, if you come in short overnight, you know, every night you have to kind of open up your eye at the open to see where the futures are. And if you hit, you hit big. If you miss, you're going to miss big. But again, I'm not there. It's not what I want to do every single day. I have a very specific plan. I wake up every morning. I see the market. If the market's down 500, 600 points. Again, this is a kind of a broken record. I'm just waiting for these channels to develop in the beginning of the day. And once they confirm on any type of spike in the future, all I'm trying to do is get as much cash flow as possible and get the hell out of the way. It's a rinse repeat, rinse repeat, rinse repeat type of scenario. So it's very, very important. Again, you see the NBA season suspended. You talk about Major League Baseball postponing opening day to at least two weeks. And now, again, I forgot if it was actually put to bed, but I think March Madness, people are saying, oh my God, what's going to happen to March Madness? Guys, we don't need March Madness. You're trading in March Madness. It doesn't get any madness more immense than this. It doesn't get any crazier than this. So just relax every single day. Whatever type of trader you are, just relax, breathe. You don't need to trade every single day. You don't need to watch the market every single day. The most important thing is take care of your family, wash your hands, make sure your house, your home is in order. The market will always be there. Just make sure you're taking precautionary areas to be safe. So pretty aggressive day today. Okay, pretty aggressive day today. Good value. Okay, really, really good value. Let me just give you guys an idea where we started from and where we finished. So yeah, yeah, so again, we woke up this morning, woke up this morning again, value to the upside again. It's a broken record. But again, when the market gaps down, your value is going to be the upside. Stay patient, wait for the channels to develop and strike with a calm, right? With a calm and confidence. Okay, take flow on the way up. Use break even as you stop business as usual. Again, it's very, very aggressive. It's very scary. But if anybody's been trading for a long time, you know, again, this is just something that you signed up for it when you're trading decade by decade by decade. So again, it's nothing crazy. So I know again, 1115, 1120 needs to build again, scalp only, again, not looking to reinvent the wheel here. So here was the 1150 60 minute channel, right? Here's his love the 1115, right? Excuse me, we're here 1115 1120 channel. And again, it went almost to 12. Again, is this the biggest move in the world? No, but again, if you did trade it, I didn't trade I know this is just not my thing.  So that was fine for you guys. It took it on Netflix was a was a big move here. Here's the most ironic part about Netflix. I got long Netflix off this 331 initially I put 330 but 331 was a little better. And I turned around and I said, I didn't realize how big the spread was when I bought it. Okay, because everything was moving so fast. And when I looked up, I go and I said this in the room, I thought I said it in my own head. I turn around and I go, holy Netflix has a dollar spread. And I got pretty, you know, I got pretty nervous, you know what I mean, I got pretty nervous. Because again, I said to myself, I was already preparing for like a $3 loss. And the future spiked up and the stock started spiking up. I made some money. I mean, it went to like 35 and change. I got out way, way before that. I was just happy to be out. With sometimes when you see the market moving so fast, these spreads, I didn't realize until I bought it was like a dollar spread. I almost had a heart attack. But again, some cash flows better than no cash flow. So that was fine. Roku I scalp this as well, 85 needs to build. Nice spike. Nice spike on Roku gave a quick trade. The first move, again, I know there's a lot of downward channels, but there's here's the 85 spike here. Once it broke 85, it did go as high as the 86 63. So that was fine. I took it for scalp there as well. So yeah, take on the way up, you know, for Netflix, Roku needs to build again, take on the way up. This was actually a trade of the day for me before Apple completely lost this lunch and went just got destroyed. Here was the trade of, I mean, at least for me was this is the trade of the day. 259 needs to build. Here was Apple. Again, we were just looking for these upside ranges. Here was the 259 right here, right? Here was the 259 right here and this thing explode. Excuse me. It was right here. Sorry about that. It was right here. 259 was right here. Apple put up like a three and a half dollar candle. I mean, it was beautiful. There was nothing wrong with it. I took like 359. I took about a dollar 80 on the highest print on the highest prints. I was tickle pink. I was very, very happy about the trade. It went up another dollar. But again, it is what it is. And then Apple just, just, you know, by the time I was gone and yeah, it did all this. But again, we're not looking to, to guess the, you know, we're not looking to guess the highest price of the day, man. We're just trying to win our interval. And now is the obviously the interval to win. Big, big move there. Again, nice moves, guys. Again, and I said this to anybody in the live webinar, you know, experience is the most important thing. Okay, this is not a, you know, this is not something that a 22 year old kids were trading for two years is going through. This is, this is something, man. Unfortunately, when I say I wouldn't wish my experiences early on in my worst enemy, this is because I'm really telling you this is exactly what happened. So I never celebrate the market. I never celebrate my existence. I'm just trying to show everybody what not to do. And this is an incredible point of experience over everything right now. But, but again, it's just, it's an incredible market. It's an incredible market and not in a, in a good way. It's just an incredible market and aggressively. Amazon, it didn't work out. Amazon 1745 only went up three points before it got destroyed. So there wasn't anything there. The video got destroyed. Congratulations to all you guys who did taking the video 22860. If it builds below it can flush. Here was the video just destruction, absolutely destruction in the stock. So here was the 228 right here, the sneaky candles 22860. And once it broke down 22860, I mean just just destroyed. I mean just absolutely destroyed on that. I by accident put the Netflix pivot on the regular feed. If you guys saw that, I put in a Netflix pivot. Accidentally, I put it on my regular feed instead of this one. It was like 260. If you if you go on my Twitter feed, you'll see it. I'll show you in a second. I put the wrong. I just put the wrong price. I put it into the wrong account. 264. I believe it was 264. I'll tell you the price right now. Where was it? Where was it? Where was it? 264. Yeah, so here is I'm sorry. 324 65 area. If it builds below can flush 324 65 and it just got destroyed. Here was Netflix. Here's 324 65 below this low level here just destroyed. Absolutely destroyed. It's a great job for all you guys who took that as well. Let me go back to my private feed account. Okay, let's see here. Let's see here. Let's see here. So yeah, I mean solid morning. I mean really, really solid morning. You know, good stuff. Again, you know, here's a person again, not all this gentleman is I've never met him personally, but again, you know, this guy again, 10 for 10. It's pretty damn good, right?  Yeah, there's a top of the channel, the bottom channel. There's a middle of the range. So you're trying to omit a lot of the noise. But the most important thing is you're trading under control. And again, the game plan is very simple going into tomorrow. It's the same thing. You know, it's basically the same thing. Again, there was another pivot. I quit the end of that when I came back home from lunch. I saw the end of this move here 85 20 went to like almost almost 87. So again, just keep scalping guys keep scalping. And I said this, I said take on the way up. No telling how long this market will last. And I go see what I mean. So the most important thing is again, guys, I put this on the Twitter feed. And I'm kind of sharing with you guys again, there's any stoppage of trading days in the future. We're going to send out a link to this the zoom hosted webinar that I host. And if anybody has any questions and comments and psychology and he fears, I'll be more than happy to help as many people out guys. God bless. Stay safe. Wash your hands. Take care of your family. God's help will see you all tomorrow. Take care guys. Congratulations for putting in the time to take control of your trading.

The floor may not be in your old box. My name is Naomi Lopez. 14 years ago, my girlfriend was kidnapped, tortured and murdered. I killed her murderer. This is my confession. My girlfriend's name was Marilyn Branson. We met back in 2007, when we were both in college. We had a pretty classic neat cute story, actually. We were walking along, both of us holding a ton of overpriced textbooks, when we accidentally walked into each other. We both dropped our books and fell on our butts. Sorry. She said, No, it's okay. I'm sorry. I replied, No, no, it's okay. She said back. We kept talking over each other, profusely trying to apologize, then stopped. Marilyn laughed. She had this cute little laugh that, even back then, made my heart melt. I immediately fell in love. Turns out, we both had intro to psychology together. Despite our initial awkward meeting, we became fast friends. I think it only took a few months for us to actually start dating. She had to keep it quiet from her family, since she wasn't out to her folks yet. As far as they knew, I was just their daughter's really close friend, Naomi. Marilyn loved music. She was probably the most talented pianist I'd ever heard. Watching her play live was incredible. Her fingers danced across the keys with a natural ease. She was able to make up lyrics for songs as she played, melding both lyrics and instrumentals on the fly. It was incredible. She was incredible. It's funny, the first time I saw her play, my very first thought was, I am so glad she is good with her fingers. Marilyn also loved bouncy castles. I remember on one of our first dates, we went to one together. I was a bit shy about it, since it was kind of for kids, but she encouraged me. Watching how happy she was, hearing that cute little laugh again, I joined in. That was probably the happiest moment of my life. We were together for three years, and I had never been happier.  Every morning I'd wake up to see her face illuminated in the glow of the sun, and all I could think was how much I loved her. Then one night in 2010, she didn't come home. She didn't say she wouldn't be back, which was very unlike her. I called her, and got no response. I was worried, but hoped it was nothing. The next morning, she still wasn't there. Her friends hadn't seen her. Her family hadn't heard from her. I wasn't sure whether or not to call the cops. She was missing, sure, but could I trust the cops to look for a black lesbian? After 48 hours though, I broke down and called them. Three showed up. Two of them asked me questions while the other just stood awkwardly in the corner. They didn't find much. No sign of any foul play. The last person to see her was a classmate who said she seemed to be heading home. No footage was found of anyone taking her. No ransom note, no evidence, nothing. Marilyn was outed to her family during the investigation. I don't know who did it. All I know is that they didn't take it well. The Bransons had been like a second family to me. My parents had thrown me out after I came out, and having them scream at and blame me for what happened to Marilyn killed me. I saw her missing person poster. This wonderful, complex person was broken down into a few base components. Black hair, dark skin, scar on her left cheek, green eyes, 190 pounds, and 5 feet 8 inches. They didn't know about her laugh, or her musical skills, or the way she bit her bottom lip when she was thinking. I guess that's why I'm writing all of this. Marilyn Branson was more than just a series of physical characteristics, more than just a victim, and I want everyone who thinks of her to remember that. Somehow, I was able to graduate.  But, I still put in the work to graduate. I knew Marilyn would have wanted me to. Two days after my graduation in 2011, I heard what happened to Marilyn. I spent the first few hours crying in the bathtub, then two days lying in bed. I'd wake up every morning to find myself alone. Weeks passed. A funeral was held for Marilyn. I wasn't invited. Months passed. I tried moving on. I got a job. I tried making friends. After a few years, I tried dating again, but it never worked out. I just couldn't move on from Marilyn. I thought about her constantly. I thought about that time in the bouncy castle. I thought about her laugh.  The police stopped searching, but I never did. I tried finding cases that were similar to Marilyn's. Dead body in a wood chipper had used as, well, you know, nothing. I tried finding and solved cases near where Marilyn went missing and where she was found. Nothing was similar. Just a lot of mentions of Fargo and some things here and there about some old creepypasta. I wish I followed up on the creepypasta lead. By the time I realized it was about Marilyn, the person who posted it wouldn't respond.  Before this woman died though, she left behind one key piece of information, chipper, minus VE. I didn't know if that was this guy's email address. The email provider wasn't listed, but it was something. Maybe he used this as a username elsewhere. Maybe this could be a lead. I spent the next week trying to find anything with this lead. I was hoping for a name or an address, but I'd settle on an email address at least. I didn't find that though. Just scattered comments left by chipper on various fetish message boards, talking about his wood chipper fetish. Some of these dated back to 2008, two years before Marilyn was kidnapped. How long had this guy been planning something like this? I also discovered that chipper had been commissioning art of his wood chipper murders for years. It wasn't easy to find, but it was around. It was also absolutely disgusting. After those commissions, those artists stopped posting. A few days ago, I got another lead.  I messaged this guy as soon as I could, hoping I'd get a response. Hey, I said, I'm Marilyn Branson's girlfriend. I've spent years trying to get this chipper guy. Can you help me? This guy, who I'll call art, replied. Help you what? Guy? No. Help me stop him. Yeah, because that worked out so well for the last person who did that. What?   He's been doing this for over a decade. I'm offering you a chance to stop this guy and maybe not die. Art didn't respond for a few minutes. I thought I might have pushed him a bit too hard. Then I got another message from him. Fine. Art sent me what he'd gotten from chipper, including the picture of the woman he tortured. The background of the image had a window, and through it I could see a black truck. Art and I spent a few days planning how to stop chipper. The plan we came to was risky, and it took a lot for me to convince Art to follow through with it, but it was the best shot we had. We both knew that chipper knew where Art lived, and had no intention of letting him live. He wouldn't break into Art's house though. That'd be too obvious and leave too much of a trail. Judging by what chipper did earlier, he'd probably ambush Art somewhere out of the way. Perhaps at a local dive bar, like where he initially found Art, that we realized might be a good place to ambush him instead. With that, our plan was set up. Art finished chipper's commission, and then went back to the bar where chipper first met him. I came in a bit later, and stayed away from Art while still keeping an eye on him. Art, meanwhile, got absolutely hammered. The plan wasn't for him to get that drunk. I just think he wanted to. I kept my hand in my coat pocket, gripped tightly around the revolver I brought with me. I bought it a decade ago. I hoped I'd be able to use it tonight. The hours ticked by, and Art got more and more incoherent. It was starting to seem like our ploy had failed. Then someone knew what in. The bartender, upon seeing this new arrival, said, Hey officer Duggan, how are you? I'm alright chit. Just came in to get my buddy home. Duggan said, grabbing Art. His wife's worried about him, you know. Art slurred out something, probably saying how he wasn't married. Duggan laughed.  Duggan pulled Art off the bar stool, and dragged him outside. I followed behind them. Once outside, I saw that Duggan was dragging Art to a truck, the same black truck from the picture. I heard Duggan say, I told you I'd see you soon, didn't I? I can't wait to see what you look like in a wood chipper. That was it. It was him.   I pulled my revolver out of my coat pocket, holding the cold metal of the gun in a white knuckle grip. Duggan heard the cocking of the gun, and stopped. Pulling a gun on a cop? Really? He asked. He turned around, and I immediately recognized him. He was one of the cops who came to investigate Marilyn's disappearance after I called 911. The awkward one who stayed in the corner.  He's why it took a year to find Marilyn.  A part of me wanted to ask why he did this, why he killed Marilyn. A part of me wanted to scream profanities at him.   I want to say that pulling the trigger was hard, that I had a moment of hesitation. I want to say that I saw his humanity for just a brief moment. I want to say that I thought, no, he must stand trial for his crimes. I want to pretend I felt a bit of mercy. None of that was true though. I had no hesitation. I had no mercy. I pulled the trigger and watched my bullet bury itself in his chest. Duggan fell, gasping, as blood spread around the wound.  I didn't chase him. Why would I? The cops came quickly and took me in. They made sure to be as violent about it as possible. I'm genuinely surprised none of them tried to kill me. Officer Duggan would die half an hour later. I learned that tons of erotic woodchipper art was found on Duggan's computer, and that the severed head of Gwen Monroe, a woman who had posted online about an old creepypasta she found, was discovered in his truck. I don't expect this to exonerate me. I expect him to be treated as a hero in the media.  You'll hear about how Duggan was a good cop, and every news anchor will talk about the old ladies he helped cross the street while neglecting the fact that he threw them into woodchippers.  What you won't hear about is Marilyn Branson. You won't hear about her smile, her laughter, her talent, or her love of bouncy castles. You won't hear about how a woman named Naomi Locke has loved her with all of her heart. I guess that's why I'm writing this. I want you to know. I want Marilyn Branson to be more than a missing person poster. She'll always be more to me. I hope, when all of this is over, I can see her again.
