Hello it's Missy! Thank you for watching! For today's video I wanted to do another tutorial that the hairstyles build on each other so I start with one hairstyle and then I use that to create another hairstyle and so on. So let me know in the comments section which style is your favorite. Make sure to like and subscribe, click that notification bell as usual and let's get started! To begin the first hairstyle I'm going to have my hair parted near the center. I'm going to pick up a small section of hair on the left side of the part and divide it into three smaller pieces. I'm going to braid the hair into a dutch braid right along the hairline so I'm going to cross the side strands under the middle strand so the braid sits out on top of my hair. When bringing in sections to the back side of the braid I'm going to lift up a section of hair right next to the part line and then bring in horizontal sections to this side of the braid. This section at the top of my head that I've left out will help hide the pieces that are being brought into the braid. Since I'm doing a dutch braid I'm going to cross the side strands under the middle strand alternating between the left and the right side strands and after the initial stitch I'm going to begin incorporating new sections of hair into the braid. So I'm just going to continue the braid crossing the side strands under the middle strand while bringing in new sections of hair. So I'm just going to continue the braid incorporating sections into both sides of the braid making sure to keep the braid as close to the hairline as I can and work my way down towards my ear. So I'm crossing the side strand under the middle picking up a new section of hair from my head and bringing it into the braid and then I'm going to cross the side strand on the other side under the middle pick up a new section of hair from this side and bring it into the braid as well and I'm going to be incorporating sections of hair into both sides of the braid right along the hairline. Once I've brought in sections above my ear I'm going to stop incorporating new pieces of hair into the braid and just continue braiding the section down to the ends in a regular three strand braid. So I'm still crossing the side strands underneath the middle strand and then once the braid reaches near the bottom I'm just going to slide a bobby pin over the end of the braid so it doesn't unravel. And now I'm going to repeat the same steps as before and create a Dutch braid with the hair on the left side of my head. So I'm picking up a section of hair near the hairline and dividing it into three smaller pieces. I'm crossing the side strands under the middle strand again and I'm going to be incorporating new sections of hair into the braid as I go. I'm going to create another Dutch braid so I'm going to begin braiding the hair by crossing the side strands under the middle strand and on the back side of the braid I'm going to bring in larger horizontal sections large enough to create the same sized braid that was created on the opposite side. When bringing in sections to the back side of the braid I'm going to lift up a section of hair right next to the part line and then bring in horizontal sections to this side of the braid. This section at the top of my head that I've left out will help hide the pieces that are being brought into the braid so I'm just going to continue the braid incorporating sections into both sides of the braid making sure to keep the braid as close to the hairline as I can and work my way down towards my ear. So I'm crossing the side strand under the middle picking up a new section of hair from my head and bringing it into the braid and then I'm going to cross the side strand on the other side under the middle pick up a new section of hair from this side and bring it into the braid as well. So I'm still crossing the side strands underneath the middle strand so the braid sits out on top of my hair and I'm going to be incorporating sections of hair into both sides of the braid like the previous braid right along the hairline making sure to keep the braid as close to the hairline as I can and work my way down towards my ear and once I've brought in hair from above my right ear I'm going to stop incorporating sections of hair into the braid and just continue braiding the hair down to the ends then I'm going to slide a bobby pin over the bottom of the braid so it doesn't unravel.  Next I'm going to transition the first half up braids into a side braid style so I'm going to bring the rest of my hair over my left shoulder I'm going to first divide off a small piece of hair from the right side of the nape of my neck and I'm going to take this section and tie it together with another section of hair on the left side of my neck using a clear elastic band. This is a really neat hair hack to keep the very bottom section of hair from slipping out of the braid as I wear it so now I'm going to take the rest of my hair and braid it into a fishtail braid so I'm splitting the hair into two equal sized sections and I'm going to divide off small pieces of hair from one side and cross them underneath to the other section of hair so I'm taking a small section from the outside edges of one side crossing it under and combining it with the opposite section of hair then I'm taking a small piece of hair from the outer edge of the other section and crossing it underneath and combining it with the other section of hair so I'm just taking a small piece of hair crossing it under and adding it into the opposite side then I'm taking a small piece of hair from that same side and crossing it under and adding it into the opposite side and I'm just going to repeat those steps crossing small sections of hair underneath to the opposite side, braiding the rest of my hair into a fishtail style braid. And then once the braid reaches near the bottom, I'm going to begin pulling apart the braid so I'm going to work my way up the sides of the braid and gently pull on the hair so it slips out of the braid and I'm just going to make the braid look a lot wider so it looks more full and I'm just going to work my way up both sides of the braid until it's as wide and as full as I like. And then once I've pulled out the braid far enough, I'm going to take a clear elastic band and tie off the end of the braid so it doesn't unravel. Now I'm going to transition the two half-up braids into a low messy bun. So to do this style, I'm going to combine the rest of my hair together at the nape of my neck. I'm going to take a hair band and tie this over the hair and on the last wrap of the hair band, I'm going to pull the hair part way through to create a loop in the hair. Then I'm going to take the ends that are sticking out the bottom of the bun and I'm going to split this hair into two equal sections. I'm going to take each section and bring them up opposite sides of the bun and cross them over the top of the bun so they wrap around the looped section. Then I'm going to tuck both of the ends back around the hair band underneath the bun to hold them in place. Hi cutie. Hi honey. You look cute, baby. That wraps up today's video.

My name is Kajsa Aft-Johnson and I'm a Swedish Dietitian, a journalist, so I work mostly with health communication. I'm very interested in yogurt, the health effects of yogurt, and why it's the connections between obesity and the prevention. I was very interested and there was a question coming up about how maybe the use of antibiotics could be like a connection with increasing obesity. I'd like to see some more of the questions that were raised here today if there are any evidence, more evidence about why the factors in the yogurt prevents obesity. Is it the whey protein or dairy proteins or is it the bacteria or is it the composition of the yogurt? I think it's a good basic food, which actually should be in everyday food because it's the dieting and it makes a good balance.


My name is Sambhagni. I'm the author of Malignan Selplava, Narcissism Revisited, to embark on our exploration of the mind of the abuser. We first need to agree on the taxonomy of abusing behaviors. Methodically observing abuse is the surest way of getting to know the perpetrators of their psyche. Abusers appear to be suffering from dissociation, kind of a mild form of multiple personality. At home, abusers are intimidating and suffocating monsters. But when they go outside, outdoors, they are wonderful, caring, giving, much admired pillars of the community. So why this duplicity? Why this dichotomy? It is partly premeditated, intended to disguise the abuser's acts. But more importantly, this division between indoors and outdoors reflects the abuser's inner world, where the victims are nothing but two-dimensional representations. They are objects devoid of emotions and needs, mere extensions of the abuser's self. To the abuser's mind, his quarries, his prey, his victims do not merit humane treatment, nor do they evoke empathy because they don't exist as human beings, full-fledged and three-dimensional. Typically, the abuser succeeds to sort of convert the abuse, convert the victim into his, the abuser's worldview. The victim and victimizers don't realize that something is wrong with the relationship. They think the relationship is okay. This denial is common and all-pervasive, permeates other spheres of the abuser's life as well. It's not limited to his relationships. Abusers are often narcissists. They are steeped in grandiose fantasies, divorced from reality, besotted with their false self, consumed by feelings of omnipotence, omniscience, entitlement, paranoia. But contrary to stereotypes, both the abuser and his prey, his victims, usually suffer from disturbances, problems in the regulation of their sense of self-worth. Low self-esteem and lack of self-confidence render the abuser and his confabulated self vulnerable to criticism, disagreement, exposure and adversity, whether real or imagined. So abuse is bred by fear, fear of being mocked or betrayed, abandoned. It is the child, abuse is the child of emotional insecurity, anxiety, panic and apprehension. It is a last ditch effort to exert control, to reassert oneself, for instance, over one spouse, by annexing the victim, possessing her and punishing her for being the separate entity with their own boundaries, needs, feelings, preferences and dreams. In her seminal tone, the verbally abusive relationship, Patricia Evans lists the various forms of manipulation which together constitute verbal and emotional or psychological abuse. So there's withholding, asylum treatment, countering, refuting or invalidating the spouse's statements or actions, discounting, putting down the spouse's emotions, possessions, experiences, hopes and fears, sadistic and brutal humor, blocking, in other words, avoiding a meaningful exchange, diverting the conversation, changing the subject. I call it disintimation, the ruination of intimacy. Then there's blaming and accusing, judging and criticizing, undermining and sabotaging, threatening, name calling, forgetting and denying, ordering around, denial and abusive anger. But this is not an exhaustive list.  Being unpredictable is a form of abuse, reacting disproportionately to humanizing, objectifying, abusing confidence and intimate information, engineering impossible situations, controlled by proxy and what I call stealth or ambient abuse, better known as gaslighting. All these forms of abuse. In his comprehensive essay, understanding the batter in custody and visitation disputes, Lundy Bancroft observes, because of the distorted perceptions that the abuser has of rights and responsibilities in relationships, he, the abuser, considers himself to be the victim. Acts of self-defense on the part of the battered woman or children or efforts they make to send out for their rights or even to take themselves. The abuser defines as aggression against him. He is often highly skilled at twisting his descriptions of events to create a convincing impression that he has been victimized. He does accumulate grievances over the course of a relationship to the same extent that the victim does, which can lead professionals to decide that the members of the couple abuse each other and that the relationship has been mutually hurtful. Yet whatever form of ill treatment and cruelty the abuser meets out, the structure of the interaction and the roles played by abuser and victim are the same. Identifying these patterns and how they are influenced by prevailing social and cultural mores, values and beliefs is a first and indispensable step towards recognizing abuse, coping with it, and immirorating its inevitable and excruciatingly agonizing aftermath.


Aaron, why do you think Zimmerman gave you guys so much trouble? He's got good stuff. He was able to work the ball down the zone, work the corners and just not really give up any hard hit balls. He was able to just keep us off balance all night and when you can do that all night and kind of give miss hits, you're going to be in a good position. Aaron Boone just said he feels as though the guys in this lineup are capable of producing, capable of putting up runs. Do you feel that same way? Of course. I thought it out. We just got to string together some quality of bats. We're swinging some stuff out of the zone and not really sticking to our plan in the past couple of games, but I think once we start stringing together, quality of bats one through nine, we're going to be in good position. That's what this lineup does. The lineup gets on base and drives guys in. Once we get back to that form, we'll be in a good spot. You guys didn't just lose one or two guys. You're having to overcome a ton of adversity this early in the season. Did you ever anticipate having to overcome this much adversity this early? It happens.  That's all this. You know, guys will step up and fill those roles. You know, you don't like senior third baseman and DH left fielder. Center fielder go down and other pitchers and stuff like that go down, but guys just got to step up and that's what they'll do. You know, it's what we, on spring training, getting their reps and see if it gets quality time for a lot of guys, you know, coming up right now and getting there at bats in the game because they're going to help us one down the road. You know, so, you know, just getting this quality time in the game right now is what's going to help us down down the road. Challenging. Is it, I know you say next man up, but when some of those guys have so little experience at this level and they're kind of learning on the fly and, you know, several of them at once, is that tough to deal with? Does that make it more challenging? No, they're ready for it. You know, these guys are ready for it. That's why they're in this position. That's why we're in their clubhouse and, you know, got called up for a reason.    You know, they're going to step up and fill some good roles. Growing, you know, 98 and 97 instead of the 102 that you're used to, does that, do you think that has an impact on what he's able to do on the mound?  But, you know, a choppy-star guy, he's, you know, it doesn't matter if it's 95, 105, it don't matter, he always gets a job done. You mentioned, you mentioned guys need to step up. Do you feel like there's an extra onus on you and other guys who are regulars in this lineup, so many big guys at a lineup to really step up in a time when you guys were struggling like this? I wouldn't say do anything extra, I'd just say do our job. That's the biggest thing, you know, when guys start doing extra, that's when people start pressing and, you know, putting too much weight on themselves.  So for me, it's the same thing, you know, being in the middle of the lineup and I got to get on base and I got to drive guys in. That's my job and I got to do that, you know, day in and day out.  So that's what I got to continue to do.


The legacy of Stephen King's game, and to my writer, let's shoot this down a little bit, by Hartman, by Cedric, is Edward Bourne, who is a, he is a reader, writer, and YouTube content creator, and I should say, in this instance, his YouTube channel series is called Stephen King Theorist, and so it tackles more than just that, but as, basically, there's been plenty of content about Stephen King and his work. Yeah, sorry. YouTube content creator, that was a long front of the stage right there, who has worked in every facet of the publishing industry, from editing to cover design, to writing and criticism for the past 15 years. He's been writing professionally since 2011, and his most recent novel, a horror novel, I might say, he is a horror writer, the vetting of boys is due out August 18th. And if you're interested in more of his horror fiction, he's defined on a lot of Amazon, he's here, you can speak to him afterwards. I am Anthony, and I work at the library, and I help put together all these writing panels with Louisian, so if you have been coming to them for the past last evening and today, and if you have a little bit more tomorrow, I thank y'all for participating and coming, and I hope you've enjoyed it. The last one for today is going to be, as I mentioned, the legacy of Stephen King, and I got this idea because I was putting together an idea for a lovecraft panel, because I just recently have become a fan of lovecraft, and his influence is real, yeah.  So I was thinking, you know, in terms of who is the equivalent of someone who is that prolific, who also has their own mythos in the universe, because that's one thing Stephen King does, that all his novels are connected, and whether or not that was by design from the beginning we can discuss, but it has become that way. And so the question is, we're going to be discussing again, and also we also chime in and ask and state your own opinion, is whether or not his world he has created will stand to test the time and be something that maybe authors can actually even write into. Like they can write their own, it's novel. They can write their own dark tower, but which is probably the most obvious one. And beyond that, just a discussion of dyslexia in general is I think in a lot of ways you can already see his influence in fiction. So I am going to ask you first just, I guess just since I think this goes hand in hand, what do you think the alert of Stephen King's world is that he's people looking for all of that, and that's just finding all of that. And I think a lot of Stephen King's draw is he's a natural storyteller, so what brings people to him is the ease of the writing, the down-to-earth, down-home stories. He's always talking about the little guy, the blue collared worker. He's made all these horrors throughout his entire career have always been based somewhat in reality. Even if there is a monster, a supernatural aspect, you always have a Stephen King's it, for example. Not only do you have Pennywise, the dancing clown, that terror, but you also have Henry Bowers. You have the human element also, and it's like that in every single one of his books. Some of them don't even have a supernatural terror, but you always have that human aspect of it. What is lasted with him the most is his ability to tell numerous stories and make each and every one of these stories different. He speaks to our basic fears, our basic natures.  He is connected all of his books in one way, shape or form, whether it be characters, plot lines, whatever it might be. All of his work, all 60 plus novels, short story collections, novellas, all that stuff can all come back to either one town or one storyline. Most of it ties into the Dark Tower, which is his fantasy series. And that to me is impressive when you have that much, and these aren't other than the Mercedes trilogy and the Dark Tower series. None of these books are connected, while you have The Shining and Dr. Sleep. But when you have that many, you have authors like Lawrence Block or Game Coons who deal in series all the time. It's not that impressive when you have 20 to 40 books and they all tie together with the same character. We're talking about 60 plus books and in almost every single one of those books, except for maybe 10 of them, it's all unique cats. And he's somehow still turning out new, fresh characters. His newest novel, The Outsider, has several types of characters I've never read about, period, much less read from him. So that's a staying power for me, is not only the world that he's created, but how small he keeps the world, like it's his own small town. Well yeah, I actually think that the Blue College storyteller is in fact one of the things that it really says because to make a comparison to Lovecraft. I think Lovecraft wasn't an early influence of Stephen King. I think he's an early influence amongst anyone who writes in horror genre. Lovecraft himself has his own section of the New England area where there were consumable fictional towns that are connected. His stories would call back to each other. The thing about Lovecraft was that there isn't really any consistent continuity between the books because he didn't really take his idea of the mythos very seriously. He would reuse ideas because that was a pretty good idea. So he can find a lot of the continuity here because he wasn't really writing it that, particularly that in mind. Whereas King took it and he decided to make the New England area a place where the supernatural can happen, where aliens and demons seem to converge and the supernatural people haunted. And one of the things I think that's so interesting about that is that instead of it being a direct menace from Lovecraft, essentially a lot of stuff is alien menaces. A lot of this stuff for... I think that's Stephen King also. Even this stuff that isn't any... Oh yeah. ...correcting aliens can be try-tacted and stuff. Right. True, but I guess the way he faces the ground also is that character drama. Like the story... If you took away the clown, you took away those moments, there's actually... There's a novel there about being young, or the memory of being young and what you remember. I think one of the things to look at is, if you look at those flashbacks, in a lot of ways they're supposed to be like mincemeat or perceived. I'm not sure if you've ever read it. Most of the parts of the children I think are supposed to be like them looking back. Because they're so caught up on details, like remembering the songs, remembering the exact... Trying to remember all the things that made those moments special. That book is about, and the core element of it. Even in the dedication he says to my three children, don't forget about the magic. And it's all about the magic and the mysticism and even the spirituality of the child and how anything is possible, how we're invincible, untouchable, that kind of aspect. But at a certain point in time, when we come of age, something about that breaks. It goes away. And we forget the magic of that time frame. And that book, even though you have the basic childhood fears clowns, I think that's why he locked on to K-Wise for that book. But the book is so much more than some demonic clowns. The book is about the power of childhood, the power of that magic, friendship, companionship, how we build our first relationships as children and how it gets deeper and more prevalent as the older we get. And how the adult world, the adult disappoints you. Part of the job is in regard to them learning that if they didn't already know quickly that their parents are fallible, that adults are weak a lot of times. They're people. There is no one invincible. When we're kids, we think our parents that our parents can do nothing, the most part. The parents can do nothing wrong. And I think it speaks a lot to when we do come of age, is about the time we realize that mom and dad aren't perfect.  When we finally realize that these people who either brought us into the world, these people that we looked up to are not perfect, it does something to us. It changes the entire outlook. Just like realizing for the first time that death is the end. If something dies, it's not coming back tomorrow. It's a scary time for anybody. And King likes going to that a lot. That's why he goes back to that over and over again in stories like The Body, in Dreamcatcher, there's even that part. And he tells that same story over and over again the end of childhood and how terrifying that time can be. I'm just following the medicine, following the experience. Yeah, absolutely. I think that's definitely on time. One of the things about King is that where he sees himself in the literary tradition, he's pretty humble in terms of what he thinks of this equality. He's obviously a very well-read person. He's very aware of the class they send like Blake. I'm sure he's read. He's traditionally a reader. He loves new stuff too. He's aware of what he's doing and aware of...  So he's the McDonald's fast food meal of the literary world. I'm a big student. I've been for years. My wife's the biggest though. She's an 800-pound gorilla. I've been like tons to her in the band though. Do you feel that at some point though that he lost his weight for a while? He's lost his weight at least for a 90-minute career. At least. The first time was... That's how you come back stronger though. Exactly. I think the outsider one is the newest novel that came out this year is one of his strongest performances ever. Revival is one of his strongest novels, and that's a more recent one also. But the three times I'll bring this up, there's something that happened that nobody ever talked about. King doesn't talk about it. At some point in time around the Kudo era, he wrote several books and several stories and several scripts about a woman being unfaithful to her husband. There was a time that and he wrote some of the darkest stuff during that period. Whether or not Tabitha was unfaithful to him or whether or not he was unfaithful to her, I don't know. But there was a very strong darkness to his work. The ending of Kudo is much different than the ending of the movie. I'm not sure. There was definitely a dark side to King that he finally got out of him around the Pets Cemetery. And that pretty much ended that. In fact, he wasn't even going to publish Pets Cemetery because it was sitting in the drawer for months and months on end because he didn't think anybody wanted to read that book. It was so dark and depressing and there's not a happy thing after the first couple of chapters. And then again, he got addicted to cocaine. Not only that, but he was an alcoholic. He lost his way again with Tommy Knockers. And he'll tell you that at some point in time in Tommy Knockers he went to read that. And when he came back, he finished the book. The book was in pieces when he got so bad the story goes Tabitha came walking in and he was pounding away in Tommy Knockers and she broke down on the trash can.  And he went away. In fact, in Tommy Knockers there was a line that said guard went for a walk and the entire tone of the book changes after that. And I believe that's when he came back from rehab and he cleaned himself up. And then once again in 1999 he got hit by the bank and his entire everything changed after that. I think Dreamcatcher from Aviva Gate and Cell. I don't like any of those books and he doesn't like them either. In fact, when they ask him what his favorite books are he says how about we talk about the ones that are the worst. And he always mentions Tommy Knockers because that's the one where he came back from rehab and Dreamcatcher because that's the first one he wrote when he got back from the accident. A lot. He didn't take painkillers from Dreamcatcher when he refused them because he had so many problems with drugs to begin with. But he couldn't write at his desk so Calvin set him up at the kitchen table and he had his busted leg up and he wrote the entirety. All 600 manuscript pages was probably more like a thousand pages. 600, well let's just say a thousand in old legal letters. The letter found ones. He wrote the entirety of Dreamcatcher and he got all that pain out in there. From a few dates he started that before the accident and he finished it afterwards. And Cell Cell is just a book that I think at some point in time he just stopped writing. Because there's really no ending to that book. I don't like to say it I don't want to spoil anything for anybody but it just stops. I think he has definitely lost his way several times and he's always taken a while to come back. He's always taken, but one of the reasons why he's my literary hero is because he has always managed to come back. He has always fought his way back tooth and nail and he'll be the first one to tell you when he's written a bad book. And I think that's the best part about him where he has game coons or any of these other cats out there is that they're not going to tell you when a book is bad this movie with my name on it is terrible. He thinks Maximum Overdrive is one of the worst movies ever made and he wrote it and he directed it. It's not so much cocaine. He doesn't even ever do it. It's great and shocking. What's funny is I wouldn't understand probably the lead but The Room Catcher is really bad. But that was actually the first book of his I read The Girl Who Loves Tom Gordon when I was like 11 and I don't remember really I remember like It's not a kid, is it? It's got a kid in it. I like how he likes it. I read The Dream Catcher when I was over 13 and I just remember at the time I thought it was really cool. There's a lot of fart jokes in that book. That was really my entry into like I want to read more and more and more. So in a way that book was kind of a gateway. And so I have fond memories of it. But I know that I probably should let that remain on memory and not revisit. Yeah, that book is tricky. Because the first probably 200 pages of that book amazing. Great stuff. And it isn't until he starts killing off some great characters once he kills off the best character in the book in my opinion the book is lost. I'm surprised that he even finished it because even if you need to tell in the text the text, it doesn't get dumber but it gets lazier. The writing of the book gets lazier after a certain character dies and he's like I just want to be done with this. The problem there in lies 400 more pages of this book to go before the end of the book. So now we have to track through. We spent the first 200 falling in love with these guys and learning everything about them. Only to spend the next 400 pages of the book with the guys that nobody cares about. The toss away, right? And that's the recommendation that nobody told our mom. I have both read the first I've read the first two books and I've watched the show. I know you can't catch them. I do the same thing in my books. So it's not it's not a matter really of him killing the main character. In fact, I respect that getting rid of somebody that you think is going to be around the whole book.  I respect that. I use it myself. The thing is you've got to have somebody else there to take up just like in Song of Ice and Fire. Once he gets rid of somebody there's somebody as interesting if not more interesting there to take to take that and I don't think Dreamcatcher has that. Dreamcatcher goes from the most interesting character dead to now we're falling around like a 32 guy I could care less about. I've read the book three times. I study Stephen King like most people study like Faulkner. I'm the Stephen King scholar if you want to call it. If you can call yourself a scholar like that. You're talking about a girl who loved Tom Gordon when he was 11. My very first Stephen King memory is I grew up in Fontana, California driving the movie theater. I'm sure most of you guys remember the driving theaters. And Pitt Cemetery was out. I was nine years old. My Sorry, sorry. No more no more dates. I was in high school when I read the theory. Well, I think that's one of the hand in hand of what we're discussing here. It's happening that speaks to why this is a relevant conversation because he himself is getting up there. It's a natural fact of life but it seems like if anything his stuff is doing as well as ever I mean it was huge I don't know if it surpassed what they ever thought it would do You know we saw that that show I think the show is fine I remember when people lost their minds over stranger things I was just like this is just the Stephen King play with scripture and verse and it's like obviously people don't love it so it's like well clearly this goes to show that he taps into something he has a even second hand it works for people it works for younger people it works for older people and I think that's really interesting that says something about a writer because a lot of times there's some people like James Patterson I'm not trying to go into any kind of quality but there's been authors like who put hundreds of books on their life no one knows the name they might have accused them they don't know the author that kind of thing the test cemetery story my mom took me to drive in I wasn't really supposed to be there but my dad didn't want to watch me that's a whole story in itself so her and her friend and Rita were going to go see that cemetery and they came to me to go see the vaccine and I'm in the vaccine and my own thing she was hiding behind because they told me it was a horror movie but at one point in time I looked around the chair the driver's seat and Zelda was on the screen I don't know if you guys have seen the test cemetery movie but she's the one with the spine she's like that I was nine years old I saw that but the crazy even though I had that that accident I knew that even at nine years old anybody that could get that kind of reaction from me I wouldn't look farther into when I got home I noticed that mom had that cemetery on her shelf and I picked up she's like no no no I just watched the book is much worse anyways but my mother also had this thing the great book closet she had a huge walking book closet and most of the stuff once I hit the age where I was reading other things other than like goosebumps she would stick like Gerald's game with it in the closet because that's about a woman who was chained to a bed naked her husband just had a heart attack right before they were about to have sex so of course she didn't want me to read that one which is terrific and it got to a point where she wouldn't let me read anything from him because I was obsessed with wanting to read more and the very first Stephen King book that I read was Dolores Claybourne because it came in the mail because she was part of the Stephen King library book club it wasn't my book of the month but it was all they sent were Stephen King books, that's it and it came in and I saw Stephen King book club and I stole it out of the mailbox and I tore it open and I read it over the course of two nights I was 13 years old and I think 92-90 sorry I loved it I haven't looked back since I've been a fan ever since that book there's something about I'll always remember there was something, not only was it adult but it was very childlike also it was written in a way that I could understand everything that was going on he wasn't talking down to me he was just telling me a story that's what I like to do, I like to tell stories and I like to have stories told to me I've always been a fan of stories and that's where he tells is he tells the simplest stories in the year exactly, it's sincere he doesn't feel like he's trying to be pretentious he doesn't need fancy words he is very literary though he has seen thematic qualities he is a terrific literary author he just happens to write about killing and chattery teeth and demonic clowns and crazy number one fans and that kind of thing but there is still literary merit with him and it does aggravate me a bit when I say, oh he doesn't just he just writes horror one of my favorite stories from Stephen King is a personal story of him when he was at the grocery store and an old woman came up and said oh you're that Stephen King guy you write all those horror novels why don't you write good stories like that Shawshank Redemption he goes I wrote that no you didn't but I like that story that's the kind of stories he tells those slices of life it's fun well I think what we've been dressing in I think is very much like a core of people and so which the question is two part one is do you think that this will continue to be like read and do you think as we the prompts sort of suggest do you think people could do you think writers could really write with his material to take his premise take his Salem's Law or take and did they lead themselves not to do that we're already seeing with Joe Hill with his son we're already seeing his news with his novel The Fireman in fact I was kind of disappointed I'm a Joe Hill fan I like Joe Hill but those of you who don't know Joe Hill is Stephen King's son and Owen King and we're all writers the only one who isn't a writer is Naomi which is his daughter and she's a pastor I think she's a humanitarian I think but with Joe Hill's The Fireman I was kind of disappointed because the book is one big Stephen King Easter egg hunt instead of Joe Hill doing his own thing telling his own story you have a deaf kid in their name Nick there's a deaf character named Nick in the span there's so many nods to his dad's work it's even a part where it says you've forgotten the face of your father my life for you all that stuff is from Stephen King's work so you're already seeing it and I know I know Joe is going to continue on with that also do I think that other authors can take up that mantle I'm not sure one of the reasons maybe Lovecraft's estate has lasted in so many people because there wasn't that I guess the copyright he didn't cover it I think it was more kind of like Night of the Living Dead George Romero never copyrighted that that's why you have so many productions of Night of the Living Dead and you have so many zombie movies and that that specific thing so I don't know that you'll see anybody else do it he's also very generous about his adaptations you can make a film adaptation for a dollar of this story you can do it with Carrie Carrie's had three adaptations so far because that one's in the public public domain now you can make you can make a movie of Carrie no problem the movie rights is completely open to everybody but Stephen King doesn't care if the movies are concerned he doesn't care if they're good bad or if they're different I remember him in the same week he said Dark Tower movie was fine those theaters another turn in the wheel and the very same week he said this movie's trash so you can't but movie wise he doesn't care what he knows he knows for a fact and it's been proven throughout his entire career it's bad anytime somebody makes a garbage movie people just go back and buy a book they're always going to come back to him I don't know there might be more there was a sequel to San Juan's Lot that nobody ever talked about they shouldn't it was really bad yeah the return of San Juan's Lot that was bad so people are still playing in this sandbox but as far as a literary thing we're seeing Victor LaValle just recently did The Ballad of Black Tom one of my favorite books from that year which is a riff on the horror of a lovecraft very erasable and then a black man came and wrote The Ballad of Black Tom which Lovecraft would have thought impossible but apes or guerrillas I can't remember his in his letters but and then to have a black man come and do it better I think that's perfect but I don't think that I don't think we'll ever be done with King while King's litter now he said he would love to see more dark power stories so will we see more in that who knows but is he also talking about maybe Hill doing it I don't know because Hill's been playing with the inscapes in his books NOS 42 or NOS 4A2 what do you want to call it that one talks about Penny Wise mixed that one doesn't make an appearance but he mentions Penny Wise and you know was it the interstates the inscapes and the interstates of the mind I thought that was a very cool concept the mid world is basically it's Tolkien had middle-earth Stephen King had mid-world so that's his fantasy realm where everything his kind of all story has come together there's a point in the very fourth fifth our tower novel where he talks about characters in a part Harry Potter DC comics all stories and he himself one of his favorite books of all time is Lord of the Flies he's always used in one hand aspect of his stuff it's his own fandom he has a lot of books about children what is one of his favorite books Lord of the Flies it just goes full circle I really don't know it's a good question so I think I can do it I want to write my own stories now if if Stephen King or somebody affiliated with him came and said hey we want you to write a dark tower novel am I going to say yes? yeah I'm going to say yes because that's just another stepping stone in the career but would it be something that I would be passionate about I can't say that I think it would be my own my own world of course I do it if somebody asks me to do it especially if he asks me to do it if he calls me up and says hey you want to write a book with me sure even though I hear you're a jerk when it comes to writing with people Peter Straub and him stopped talking for 12 years after they wrote the Talisman together and then they came back in a big black house some funny stories because King was so it's all about me and my vision and Straub Straub's another one who was all about his vision but the messed up part is King called Straub said hey you write exactly like I do I disagree by the way I don't think they write anything alike they're both wordy but Straub is verbose Straub will throw 8000 words at you and they want to stop he's a literary author he likes wordplay and all that stuff King will throw 8000 words at you and you'll just be trapped by all the intricacies of that of those pages whereas Straub is way too big for my life there's no point to have this stuff either that or you have to dig for ages to try and figure out things oh it's there you just have to figure it out he doesn't leave the writing the mystery the mystery is left with the story I prefer that I do read some stuff to study the language and to improve craft but that's not funny that's cool some people it is fun it's not for me I like a little bit there's more than one way of writing there's definitely more than one way of reading too well a lot of like the last short story about King he's on this saying he's writing a whole book of stories where he's writing like other people it's funny when he it's funny because he talks about it in the afterword every single story has an afterword or is it before him it's the intro I knew it was one or the other but every single one of those stories is like when I wrote this story I was reading a lot of what Herman walked he was reading a lot of Lawrence I can't, Lawrence Block or he was reading a lot of this author and when you read that even at 70 years old the guy is still a mimic he's reading and that's another reason why Bean Coot's only writes like 15 times he never sounds like anybody else and that's another reason why Stephen King stays so fresh because he is amendment you never know what each book is going to be and right now he writes like a son which is completely backwards this is blowing my mind him and Joe Hill if you were to pick up the outsider back and forth or the fireman let's do the most recent for me the fireman and the outsider almost the exact same voice you wouldn't be able to tell them apart whereas there was one point in time when you could pick up Stephen King and all and go that's Stephen King it's some things like close enough for government work there's some idioms in there that he has that only instead of saying yes and that's something that he used all the time and you read stuff like that that's what Stephen King there's nowhere else that is there's some other stuff but right now if you were to pick up the news book from both of those guys you wouldn't be able to tell the difference and I swear that Joe Hill could have written the outsider I wouldn't know the difference what's the other one yeah you were talking about another people right I feel like Robert Cameron completely listed the standard and kind of him swam something I mean because it's got some of the characters in the same name Mr. Crips is in there it's far as a flag isn't it I had there's funny they should bring that up because with McCannon and King there is a huge chasm between their writing style their stories mimic each other quite a bit in fact if you read They Thirst and Sam's Lot together you will notice that McCannon looked at some stuff from of course you ask some people to say he doesn't matter but I don't feel that way with Swanson it is a better overall experience than the stand is and I get to argue this a lot so it's funny to have it brought up but the problem with the stand the uncut version is there's a whole bunch of information there in the middle of the book where they are rebuilding that town that has nothing to do with the rest of the book it is so out of place in fact I think a lot of it is even in version if you guys don't know the original stand was like 800 pages then he re-released another one that was 1200 pages so one was in like the 80s one was in the 80s and one was in the 90s and no matter what you have that rebuilding of society just that one little section that is so out of place it's almost I know what he was trying to do he was trying to give you a brief glimpse of Hope before he tore it all down again and he was like I realized that I am writing the wrong story I am writing this story about rebuilding society and I have no care to write that so as he thinks dynamite just blows up half the town it's like I have all these characters I don't know what to do with them I don't even like them what do I do with them let's get rid of them he said that before I had a load of characters nothing to do with them so I blow them up but I don't think there is a wall in that book I don't think there is a point in that book and I was like I wish we would get on with the point and the famine the faults that he had early in his career he can't stand his first four novels he likes them all right now but there was a point in time where yeah he considered that the worst books ever written not just he ever wrote but ever written and to an extent I almost agree because they were very schlocky they were very v-rated and he was so much better in the field of growing things when you read those first four books like I want to do I want to write a mystery walk or a boys life or a gone south or a swan song but I'm just not quite there yet so he wrote those first the first one is Baal which was some kind of if you wanted to do the exorcist or some big God novel but it ended up being a 300 page book that just goes everywhere from some rosemary baby fiction narrative beginning to literally fighting a God and then Bethany's sin was a kind of a weak attempt feminist literature from a man's point of view where I guess he figured that this town full of women killing men was the right message I'm not sure exactly where he was going with that one and then you had Nightboat which was actually written before Bethany's sin Nightboat was literally a zombie novel about a Nazi U-boat filled with zombies and they first man, but Faithhurst makes me laugh every time I read it because they literally control a tornado and one of the vampires in the book is a tornado and I was like ok, it's a shark tornado we got that tornado and I've gotten off on the canon but there was a time when the canon was better than King and that was when King was in King King was going down the tubes really quick with his addiction and mind you, had you not had that addiction we wouldn't have got it we wouldn't have got misery we wouldn't have gotten rid of novels out of that but the guy was killing himself trying to be the best and trying to pump out the novel after the novel I think he also going back to his influences he's a big fan of Charles Dickens and Charles Dickens has long complex novels so I think that was sort of his longer is more serious is better so it had to be if it's going to be a real story it's funny because the reason why Dickens novels were so big was because they were serialized they really had nothing to do with him wanting to write big sweeping novels he needed enough material so that he could serialize it each and every day and make each experience as long as the next and then they put it all together and he just happened to have a 900 page what's the title Bleach House whereas Stephen King I think Stephen King has way too much fun with what he does I think Stephen King gets in there and he has a blast and he's just going to sit there and he's going to write every little detail about these people because he finds that fun and I actually can't do a read most of it when he wrote the Green Model he wrote that I mean he did the same thing and I kind of wonder did he actually never leave with going down the story maybe to start writing and I wonder that's one reason we stole that what Drew yeah with Drew there's a really I don't know if you recognize Dan Simmons or the book called Drew it's great historical fiction fictionalized version of fact but with King King had no idea where he was going when he started the Green Model he said all I knew is that the guy came to me when it was a long time editor this is the story details he said hey I want you to do a serialized model well I kind of have an idea of a prison and I said you already did shop shop so you know I want to do something else I want to do something that's really going to break a few hearts and so he started slapping all this together it's funny you can tell the first five of those they're really thin like they're all 98 pages I think I think all the first five the last one's like 150 something I gotta wrap this up at some point in time but no he didn't know where he was going and he wrote it every single month he wrote a new episode well that's why I was wondering I kind of thought he was originally going to make it a little darker instead of like you know I mean like you know but somehow you know that's what I call his Oscar book he was writing that so that he could write so they could make an Oscar nominated who he is I mean for I remember when I was a kid he still had it's kind of gone out but he still had a bad boy red kind of a thing he was so nerdy that's the best part about it he was like the bad boy and the best parts are about good versus evil good usually overcoming that his books are mostly about the idea of decency and the idea of not necessarily like not necessarily hard like being became very spiritual he was always there but more so it's the point where his stuff is kind of inspirational he loves a happy kid well people I mean they normally will comment just they're not you lose limbs or fingers you don't get out of the unscathed but he has the idea that being a good decent person will overcome what happens so I think you know he had those periods of views he always like he can't stop himself from like bringing things back to he says no matter what I write I will always come back to horror no matter what he writes no matter how literary it is there's always a horror aspect we can go down the list any of his stuff like the Shawshank protection the intense the rate of the main character over and over again I think it's done like three months of the main character being raped but you know in prison in a prison setting you go with the body which is a piece of literary fiction but it's about them going to find a dead body you know there's your horror aspect of it so everything that he writes even leasy story which is a literary novel that's all about theme and passion and growing old with the one that you love or without the one that you love even that has a horror element to it so he always calls back on what he does well whether if it's not scaring you there's a 3D disgust if I can't disgust you I want to give you a sense of dread if I can't give you a sense of dread I'm just going to kill everybody so you've got dread, disgust and death so either you're dreading something's going to happen you're watching something or you're trying or whatever maybe or you're just going to try and disgust you like he did in a tight place which is about a guy who ends up getting stuck inside a porta pot that's been turned over that's one of the most disgusting stories but he doesn't draw a line anywhere he's written about everything I can't tell you any other author who's written about a killer it's not even a killer but like a symbol one he used that for a horror story and then turn around you've got Brighton Clown, Vampire number one fan the newest, he even created a whole new monster or whatever you want to I don't want to spoil that name there's a whole new menacing entity in The Outsiders he's still creating things but he takes the everyday and he will make it frightening and I think that's the very nature of this conversation we're clearly not going to have an answer to this question because we don't know but we don't know if it's legacy I'm sure it's legacy but I don't know that other people will take up the torch other than his kids well it's clearly understandable now and I thank you all for coming and participating in this conversation thank you for the questions and everything I appreciate it is he ever his favorite novel or yeah one of the the one that inspired him the most is Arthur Mockin's The Great God and that's one of his biggest inspirations in fact when he wrote his novelette N and his novel were viable deal with those themes quite a bit and also I can discuss it earlier he's one of his favorite novels he's also a huge fan of venture novels just the big club guy saving the bandwidth that kind of thing he loved that stuff and just cheesed the worst science fiction you've ever seen he likes the kind of thing where you see the monster you can see the strings pulling it up you can see the boom coming into the brain has he ever acknowledged what he thought is he ever strong is he? yeah in fact his quote isn't it funny how our part always smelled the best to us so he thinks one of his best novels is that's his quote by the way not mine, his leasy story he thinks it's his own powerful work I promise you nobody's gonna remember it it's gonna be one of those people that even says people are gonna remember him for the S novels Stan, The Shining and Salem's Life that's what people are gonna remember him for I thought Kerry was pretty strong he's got more we are all time I want to thank you all again for coming thank you I hope you enjoyed your time thank you


You guys do not have any evidence that God exists, so why do you still believe that this narcissistic egotistical f***ing does exist? It makes no sense to me personally. Hey friend, I want to answer your question, but I really think there's more going on underneath the surface. It sounds to me like there's a lot of bitterness and anger in your heart against a God that you don't think exists. This isn't uncommon. I hear atheists all the time go on and on about their lack of a belief in God, and yet they're trying to convince us that he's some kind of moral monster. But think about it, the fact that you have a conscience, a clear sense of right and wrong that you're even appealing to in your accusations against God, it means that you're not actually living consistently with your own worldview. Let me explain. You see from an atheistic evolutionary worldview, we are all simply stardust bumping into stardust, we are evolved animals, and so we can observe in how organisms are, but we can't say how organisms should live. You can't draw any absolute morality from that worldview. But here's the thing friend, you don't live that way. You know there is right and wrong. In the Bible it says that God has given us a conscience and he has written his law on our hearts. Not only that, but that we know he exists, but we simply suppress that truth in our unrighteousness, in our sin. God has revealed himself to us so evidently in creation. Just step outside your room and you can see his handiwork at play. At the end of the day, I don't think I'm going to convince you to believe in God simply by having the perfect argument. I believe it's God who transforms our hearts and opens our eyes to see him. He is the one that can pull off the blinders of sin to see him clearly. I'm praying that you encounter Christ's transforming work in your life today. Follow for more.


Congressman Hal Rogers is now Kentucky's longest-serving congressman. On Thursday, Rogers reached 14,852 days in office, surpassing late Congressman Bill Natcher by one day. A celebration was held in the State Capitol Thursday to mark the occasion. You're not perceived as a 40-year veteran. You're not perceived as the chairman of the Appropriations Committee.  While 40 years and 21 consecutive terms is an incredible accomplishment in and of itself, you need to look no further than the impact that he has had on the people of his district, the people of Eastern Kentucky over those 40 years to fully appreciate the work that he has done. In my case, 40 years is not enough. I've got more to do and more questions to ask, more promises to keep, more people in need. And obviously, I think you feel the same way. So let's go get him. Rogers was first elected in 1980 and is now in his 21st term in office. And he apparently plans to add to his lead. He's already announced he has plans to run for a 22nd term next year.


What is up everybody? Welcome back to the channel. You guys just day in the life, man. Day in the life, building an agency, running ads for clients, Facebook ads for clients, running ads for myself, landing pages, self-funnels, email automation, broadcast, day in the life of building an online business, right? And don't think that that whole word or actually building an online business, few words. Don't let that overwhelm you. Don't let it mislead you. Don't let it freaking overcomplicate yourself. Don't overcomplicate yourself over it, you know, at all. Everyone starts small. Everyone starts with an idea. Everyone starts with something super simple. At least that's my opinion. You should be starting with super simple stuff, right? Whatever your message is, whatever your product is, whatever your services are, start small, man. Don't let this thing confuse you more than it needs to. This is basic stuff, man. So I'm gonna simply show you how, just from a small list, how I've been able to get hundreds of appointments, hundreds of, in my case, social media clients, right? I'm servicing clients, running Facebook ads, consulting on social media, marketing tips and all that stuff, right? Specifically real estate agents, small business owners. It's all the same strategy, but I've been doing that successfully since 2016. And I'm gonna simply show you, it wasn't until 2018 when I jumped on Accartra. So if you're new to this whole entire online marketing space, as I consult clients every single day, I always say that the three most important tools when it comes to building an online business is number one, your landing page software. Number two, your email auto responder. And number three, your online calendar. And an online calendar is really for those of you that are like me, that are in the business of appointments, right? We're in the client services business, a real estate agent, an insurance agent, a yoga instructor, a gym, a dentist, a chiropractor, anything. Anything where appointments are the main blood that flows through your business, right? That's the third one. So landing pages, email automation and an online calendar. That's what it really comes down to is those three basic tools.  They're all separate. They're all monthly fees. I use Cartra to run my entire online business. Those three main tools and more all in this one. So I've been on this since 2018. So it's been really since then where I leveraged the email automation. I've leveraged the email broadcast. I've used it to simply get me hundreds of appointments all through social media, like all through the direct message, all through email broadcast. And I'm gonna simply just walk you through again, again, day in the life, man, day in the life of what I'm doing to build my business. And this is really behind the scenes of how I get appointments. I'm gonna walk you through my strategy and just the entire setup, but at the same time how basic this is, man. So again, if you're new to online business, if you're new to online entrepreneurship or now you're looking to bring your message, your product, your service to the internet, again, profitwithcartra.online. There's a 14 day trial, a 14 day free trial to this entire software. So if any of that stuff is, if you're intending that stuff, making money online, building a business online, capturing leads, making sales, Facebook ads, social media marketing, subscribe, that's my channel, you guys. So I'm David, I'm out here in San Diego, really just day in the life documenting what I freaking do for my business and what I do for other clients. So again, this is just simply walking you through how I, one way I get appointments. Now, if you're new to my channel, I've been dropping content like this since 2017, okay? Over here on YouTube, just dropping content again, documenting day in the life of what I'm already doing to build my online business. But it wasn't until like, let's just say 2019 when I started really leveraging this way, right? The broadcast, the broadcast email, because I would hit direct message, that's been my bread and butter. So again, if you've been following me on YouTube, it's been the direct message on how I've gotten literally hundreds of clients, hundreds of social media clients all through the direct message alone, appointments all through the direct message alone. So it wasn't until about 20, I would say maybe 2019 actually, when I started leveraging the broadcast, okay? And simply getting appointments this way as well. So once an individual already becomes a lead, maybe they downloaded my book, maybe they attended my webinar, maybe they, but they didn't purchase. Maybe they, maybe they're just a different type of lead that opted in to watch a free training or opted into watch to download my FB ads cheat sheet. That's what you've seen in the description as well is FB ads cheat sheet.com. That's a simple document, a civil PDF that I give to people for free, right? They just opt in some, those of you that are into Facebook ads, that's a free download that I have in the description. So again, whatever the hell you're freaking opted into in my world, whatever you're coming in on in my world, that's a lead, right? So depending on where that lead is in my cells cycle or in my process or in my funnel, that determines who gets certain broadcasts. So a broadcast is a one-time email.  I can send a broadcast to anyone on an email list of mine. So, but it's a one-time email. It's a one-time email. It's not set in my email autoresponder. It's not an automated email that's set to go out, every three days, it's a one-time email that I physically put together myself. So again, it wasn't until about 2019 when I started leveraging this to get me appointments this way from leads that have already opted into my world. And I'm gonna just simply walk you through how I do it. So it all starts with an actual page, right? It all starts with a page. I use Karcher for all my pages, whether it's a landing page, whether it's a funnel within my process within my sales funnel, whatever. I've been using, again, Karcher for everything for a while now. So I use it for my pages. And all I do is I simply create a one-off page. And I just named a broadcast. So over here in the categories, if you look right here in this dropdown, there's these categories. I can categorize all my pages, right? So, depending on what the page is, pertains to a certain sales funnel, a certain category, right? So I'm able to categorize everything. So I have a simple category that I just created under broadcast. And these are one-off emails that I'm gonna be sending to specific people or leads or list within my entire database here, right? So, and again, I'm gonna show you how I do it. But the strategy that I use is rather than just sending an email, right?  But what I do first is I'll create a page. I'll create a page. And to do that, I just simply take any template that I already have, or I can come over here, click the green button and create a whole new page. But I really just do a clone. So I'll come in here to a page that I already, maybe designed or that's already set. And I'll just simply click the three dots and I'll click clone, right? And then as I clone it, I literally duplicate that page. I can then come in and I can change the color. I can change the title. I can change a button. I can do whatever edit I need to to that page that I just duplicated, right? I just cloned. And so I just created a category for broadcast. These are gonna be one-off emails that I send out in a broadcast. Now, a broadcast, again, I levered to the broadcast over here. So I'll hit my communications, I'll go communications, I'll hit broadcast. Again, and I'm gonna show you how I set this up. I'm gonna send out a broadcast right now in front of you guys to a certain email list. And again, that's how I get appointments, but this is how it's done. This is how I get appointments this way is because I set up a page. So this is the page right here that I just set up. I just recorded a quick video. In fact, I'm wearing the same damn shirt. I literally just did this. And it's this page right here. So I created this video just a couple minutes ago and I slapped it on a cloned page, okay? I came into the page, I changed out the headline. I changed out the sub headline. I added this new video, right? I just added that new video. And then what I did is I added my button, but then again, all this stuff was already from my previous page. I just simply cloned it, right? And I'll just do some minor edits if needed, but then again, most is not needed. All I had to do here is simply add my calendar button and add the new video. That's it, this is the new video, okay? And so this whole video, this whole concept is based on nurturing that lead, right?  You're now in my world. So again, when you have an email auto responder, when you have a CRM, you have to make sure you're segmenting your leads. Don't send out the wrong email or don't send out an email to the wrong lead. Like don't send your freaking recipe on how to make your own dog food to people who are on your cat lover email list, right? You have to be able to segment these freaking leads. And then that's why segmentation, email automation, a CRM is super, super important.  That's what it's all about. So in this case, what I do is I'll simply make a video.  And the reason why I do a video, many reasons why I'll do a video, because video obviously is what attracts and it's what creates that bond and that relationship and that indoctrination than anything else, rather than like a simple text-based email or maybe an image-based email. Video out produces and out performs anything else, right? It's just that simple.  You're seeing video, right? It's that basic and that powerful. So I send them here to a page for a couple of reasons, right? This video is not gonna be on YouTube. This one right here on the page, this is hosted on Cartra. So I also use Cartra to host certain videos that I'm not gonna be putting on YouTube, right? Now, this video that you're watching right here, yes, you're watching it on YouTube, but this one that's on my page, that's on this page right here, this is not. So this is simply a video that I hosted on Cartra and I plop it right on the page. But a couple of reasons why is I plop it on a page because right here, I'm able to Facebook pixel them. So I'm able to put the pixel on the page and track that data that way, right? Now I'm able to create a custom audience. Now I'm able to put all these visitors in a specific category within my Facebook ad manager so I can then run ads to in the future, right? Or maybe exclude from seeing ads in the future. That's my custom audience. That's because my pixel is tracking the visitor, okay? And then another reason why is because this video, it keeps their attention here. If I linked you guys to YouTube, before you know it, you'd be watching a video on Gary V, right? You're there for a few seconds and then before you know it, Grant Cardone because he has a better thumbnail than me, he captured your attention and boom, you're clicking on there, right? So I'm not sending you to YouTube to distract you, right? I'm keeping your attention here. The video is here on this page and I have your attention more than I would have if I sent you straight to YouTube, right? From this email click, right? So that's another reason why I'm bringing them to a page and then another super, super powerful reason is because I'm able to have that call to action.  That's video, but then also in that video, I'm able to say, visually say and visually show you, right? With my hand gesture and just my overall presence, I'm able to stress the importance of clicking that button to schedule a call. So in my video at the end, I'm going for the appointment. Hey guys, and by the way, if you'd like what you've seen, right, because again, the whole purpose of this is to nurture the lead, build a rapport, build that relationship, indoctrinate them and get people to answer your call to action, right? So at the end of that video, my call to action is to click the button. It'll take you straight to my calendar where you can schedule your best time. That's what I'm saying in the video, right?  So again, it's day in the life, I'm just documenting how I do what I do when it comes to building my online business. So here's how I get appointments. This page again, I created it, right? So there's the page, there's the page, there's a call to action button, few testimonials and all these testimonies are real, man. Like this is how real you gotta be, right? Little bio of me, me and my little boy, bam, a button. This how simple it is. This how simple it is. My social media icons, my icons down here at the bottom and this right here is how I get people on Cartra. Down here, my landing pages, email automation, online calendar, those are the three main tools that I preach to clients every single day. So not just hearing me talking shit on YouTube over here but when I'm actually speaking to clients and whether I'm presenting or just consulting and strategizing, again, I'm always talking about whether it's a client or not a client, right? I'm always talking about the importance of those three tools, landing pages, email automation, online calendar. Outside of that, you're doing more stuff but the average business owner should be at least focused on those three. And if you're not in the client services business, then email automation and landing pages is kind of all you need, right? So those are my affiliate links. So look how basic that page is, man. How basic. Video of me, a few testimonials, little bio and then freaking the call to action button and then a few links down here which are tied to my affiliate, right? My affiliate number, anyone clicks on this, starts a fortune day trial on Cartra, I get that commission, right? So that's powerful and that's simple, you guys. This is all I do, man. As I'm sending that traffic, I'm sending the email, I'm sending the click to this page right here. So that's all I'm gonna do. I'm gonna customize the link. I'm gonna simply copy that link.  And all I do is click that green button. I'm gonna give the broadcast a name, which this one is how are your FB ads doing? That's what I named this whole video, right? So I'm gonna send it to this category, right? So that's the category that I click on create. So now all I'm gonna do is gonna bring me in to where I create the email. I set up the email, I write the email and I'm gonna show you how basic I do it, man. So I'm gonna go send an email and then I'm gonna have it come from, it's only going to a handful of people that are in this specific Facebook funnel, right? In this case, those who have downloaded my FB ads cheat sheet within the last, I think it's the last 30 days, I think, this specific list, okay? So if you haven't downloaded that, download it, man. If you're into Facebook ads, if you're trying to learn Facebook ads, if you need, if you care anything about Facebook ads, like download the damn cheat sheet. Like, oh, it's a guide on the custom audiences that I set up and why I set them up. So it's a simple PDF that'll really help you guys, but that one's gonna come from David at, okay. So I'll just simply, okay. So this right here, that's where it's gonna come from and be sent from actually, and you can reply to, so that's the email right there. And then I'm only sending this to, look, I can, this is how I break it down. This is how it's broken down. So I can send it to everybody in my database. I can send it to people subscribed to a certain list, people who are not subscribed to a certain list. I can send it to people who have a tag, who don't have a tag.  I can, that's why I do, that's why I love Karcher, man, has purchased a product, has visited a page.  It's on another level. That's why I use Karcher, man.   Here's how basic I'm gonna go with it. I'm gonna go to people that are subscribed to a certain list, okay? Which is gonna be FB ads cheat sheet. This is a certain list that was set up a few weeks ago. I think like four weeks ago, it's gonna be this list right here. People have downloaded this within the last few days. But then also what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna send it to people. Actually, no, those are the only ones. And then I'm gonna exclude. I'm gonna exclude. So they're subscribed to this list, right? They're subscribed to this list and they do not have the tag, which is coaching client. So they're not a coaching client. They're not an FB ads coaching client, okay? So they don't have that tag. Those are the recipients, okay? So it's still the same number on this specific list and they do not have a coaching client. So they're not a client. They're on that list and they're not a client yet, okay? That's who's gonna get this simple broadcast email. So I'm gonna hit save and next. It's gonna be a single email. And this right here, just like I can clone a page, right? I can come over here, I can create a page and then I can hit the three dots and clone it, right? Everything comes with it, right? It's a duplicate, right? And then I can go in there and edit. I can do the same thing with my email templates, right? So now over here as I go and write my email, I can go basic and this is just basic text. I can use the first name, I can copy this, call them out by their first name.  Like I can use the first name which is called a dynamic variable. I can paste that in, I can use the last name, whatever. Like normally I'll just use first name for everything. I'll put the first name in the email. I'll put the first name in the subject line. Yeah, so normally I'll call them out by the first name all the time, but what I do is I go with advanced. I'm in the advanced mode, okay? So in here, I can come over here and I can look at all these templates that Karcher already has freaking designed for me. And I can click and drag it over and use this template. I can delete the image, I can change the image, I can change the blue to green, I can freaking edit the whole damn thing. I can delete what I don't want. Maybe these are the three columns right here. Maybe I just want one, so I'll delete these two. Like I can totally customize the orange to blue button, all that stuff, right? Or I can create my own.  And then also I can save any template that I choose as well. So I keep it simple, you guys. Again, my whole email, whether it's a broadcast, whether it's an email automation, a sequence, a drip, whatever the hell you want to call it, whatever it may be. I have basic texts and my whole objective is to get them to watch a video. Like that's the whole object. Click here to watch my recent freaking video on Facebook ads, right? Click here to watch, right? So I'll hyperlink a word to get them to click to watch a video. And I'll even say click here to watch, right? Which I'm gonna do to this one, I gotta edit this one. And or I'll put an image and I'll link the image. Click here to watch my newest video, right? And so this link is going to be this link over here. So as I copy this link, I can simply add it right over here. Okay, now I'm gonna use a different image, but in fact, let me see if I can, actually I'll have to, in fact, let me create one real quick. So that image right there, look, look how simple I'm gonna make this. So I use Canva for everything, actually for my images, right? Like thumbnails and little images like this that go in an email. But if I go all designs, I'll just go with this recent one that I had. And so this right here, this Canva, if you're new to Canva, go to canva.com, set up a free account. All this stuff is free. Like you can come in here and do all kinds of crazy stuff with your stuff, images, but this is gonna be basic. Watch here. And then I'm gonna put a simple Facebook logo right there and it will be, I'll just, actually, you know what? I'll just do this one. I'll do the simple play one. Actually, no, not that one. I'll go, I'll just go Facebook this one. Okay, look, so look. And this is how I do my simple YouTube thumbnails too, man. I'm gonna definitely be stepping up my game on my thumbnails. I'm gonna delegate it, have other people do that for me on YouTube. So you'll start to see them change, but this is how basic I've had it, man. And this got me up to the 3,900 subs. So shout out to every single one of you that are watching, man. Shout out to every single one of you who are watching.  So it's like, dude, if I can do it, you guys could freaking do it. So let me save this real quick. FB, I'll just title it whatever, hit download, download, and then boom, I got that image. Okay, so now look, I'm gonna simply come back over here that there's the link, I'm linking everything too, right? So I'm gonna copy this link, let me copy it, because I'm gonna link it somewhere else in the email as well. But all I'm gonna do is I'm gonna change out this image. So if I hit the pink, I hit upload image, and then boom, that image will be right over here. And then so if they were to click on the image, then obviously it's linked to this page over here. Okay, so that's where I'm trying to get people to. And again, the whole call to action is to schedule a call, you guys. So here's how I'm gonna do it. Let me write out this email real quick, and I'll show you how simple I keep this. Basic, super, super basic. I'm gonna bold that, I'm gonna change out this color of the text. I'm gonna make it that blue, and then I'm gonna grab this link to the page, and that is gonna go right here. So I'm gonna hyperlink this watch here. So boom, there goes that. Actually, I gotta bring it down. Let me, yeah, bring it down, there we go. Okay, so let me do this again, right here. Hyperlink that, there's the green button. Okay, cool, so hit that, paste that in. Okay, so look, right when they, right when they, that's not supposed to be, okay, cool. So right when they click, right when they click on that, then boom, they're obviously being linked to that page. So look, hey John, look John, how are they doing? And who are they, right? That's what the curiosity is. How are they doing? And they're like, what? Who's they? That's what makes people open. So the subject line, short, descriptive, catchy, right? Not spammy, not freaking hypey, just freaking catchy, right? So I always put their first name in the subject line and then keeping it simple, man. And my whole freaking objective is to get them to watch my video, click and go to my page. So I don't want to bore them to death with all this random texts. Hope you're well and business is booming. Here's the number one problem I see with Facebook advertisers, AKA small business owners like you and I, watch here. That's it, man. That's it. That's as basic as it gets, dude. And look, so now I'm going to hit save and next and then I'm not going to do any automation, which I don't want to confuse you with that right now, but I'm going to send now. That's it, you guys. Look, save and next, save and next. Yes. Okay, look, this gives me a little breakdown of the details, right? It's sending. This is how crazy the analytics are, right? Broadcast, I can go to analytics. Look, dude, I'm in real time. I don't edit none of these videos. I don't even know how to edit.  Look, this is all real time. So I just sent that right now. I just sent that freaking five seconds ago, right? Look, I go to all categories. I'll go to the ones that I categorized it in. I'll go today. Look at this. 64, one opened it. So look, dude, it'll show me in real time, one opened. It'll show me that they clicked. It'll show me the goal, which the goal is to get them to schedule a call, right? It'll even let me know if that person's spending any money with me, you know? So that's a broadcast email. That's all I do, you guys. As people jump into my world, whether it's, whether it's an watching, we'll come back. In fact, shit, let me just, let me just right here. Let me just refresh this right now. Look, boom, two opened it. Look, it's all real time. It's all real time. So that number is going to go up and up and up and up. But here's what I was going to say and here's where I'll end it. Is that in that video, I'm getting them to schedule the call, right? So as I sent out these broadcasts email, I'll do maybe three of them a week where I just sent out a broadcast, something that's new, something that's on the top of my head and I want to share with a specific lead, a certain list, right? In this case, it was this one. So my whole objective with this one is to get people to schedule a call where I can bring them on as Facebook coaching clients, which is a part of my business and that's how I get those appointments. That's how I get those clients. That's how I freaking schedule appointments. That's yeah, how I get scheduled appointments. I'll send out a video giving value. That's all this video is on. This video is on giving value. So I was giving value on the specific subject and then at the end, there was a call to action for a free strategy call.

But in this case, I'm just simply walking you through how I've gotten hundreds of appointments all based all from email broadcasting. Again, and whether it's email broadcasting or this email was sent in an email automation series, right? An email sequence.  Like that's all my email sequences, my automations, when you come into my world on something, I'm dripping on you, right? Via email automation and I'm doing the same thing. I'm taking you through a very short text-based email and just getting you to click to come to my page where you can watch me on video.
