What is something new you've done this week?

Solving problems will make you money online Earlier today, my wife called me and asked if I could put a spare tire on my mother-in-law's car. Ironically enough, she was going to the tire shop to have the tire replaced, but when she got in the car, it was too flat to drive. When I got to her house, it took me about 20 minutes to install the spare tire on her car. But how does this boring, everyday store relate to making money online? Simple, there are millions of people who don't know how to change a flat tire. They were never taught, or they just forgot. And when people don't know something, they go to the internet looking for a solution. And that's where you come in. You can create a video teaching them how to do basic, everyday things like putting a spare tire of a car. Basic, everyday questions are being asked as answered every single day. "But Alston, how does one make money from this?" Well, I'm glad you asked. Here's how I would make money with this type of content Affiliate marketing: recommend a product or service that can help with car issues (AAA for example) Digital product: create a course about car maintenance and repair Get paid by the platform (YouTube, TikTok, etc) I encourage you to look at the problems that you have solved in the last month and I'll bet you find a few problems that you can solve to make money online.

Today is a tough day for me. Hey {{contact.first_name}}, Who is your hero? For me it was my parents. My mom worked multiple jobs to allow us to live a middle class lifestyle. My dad worked jobs he hated so that we could have the holidays we wanted. But no one prepares you for the eventual fall of your heros. About two years before my kids were born my had walked into a hospital because his pacemaker kept firing. He never walked on his own again. The day after my second fathers day, he passed away. For those two years it was a constant back and forth to the hospital, ER visits, and dealing with seeing your hero reduced to speaking like an infant. The only words he could say were "fe fe" and SHIT! The ladder always came out really clear. Now, I am seeing my other hero slowly fall. My wife, who is a stroke coordinator for the local hospital, noticed signs of a stroke in my mom. This happened just after my youngest sons Christmas concert. We called 911 and she was taken to the ER where she was given the same diagnoses as my dad. While not as bad as my dad, she has become a shell of herself. She stays with us a few days per week, another benefit of having a business with no boss. Today was an especially bad day, where we had to take her to the hospital. As I type this I am waiting on a call from my wife with test results. Today I feel unmotivated, I feel sad, and tired. I don't feel like doing anything, and I really haven't I don't even feel like editing this email, so I won't In business and in life, some days are just really tough. Appreciate your heroes before they fall. I'm only writing this email because I committed to myself that I'd send an email every day in May. I like to keep commitments and hold myself accountable. For the rest of the day, I will be looking for things to make me laugh as a way to escape the thought of another hero falling. Alston

What a busy day... I just got back from a field trip where we went to the local museum and lighthouse. One of my joys, and the biggest benefit of having an online business, is the ability to go on every field trip my kids have. After the field trip, I treated the kids to lunch at their favorite restaurant. As a kid, it felt like found money whenever we got to eat something other than school lunch. Earlier today, I uploaded a video detailing my six income streams from last month. I realized I had forgotten two income streams after I uploaded the video to YouTube. Click here to watch the video now. Also, I am thinking about putting together an Affiliate Marketing Mindset Mastery Program for those who are struggling with the mindset aspect of making money online. Let me know if you'd be interested in the training. Best, Alston
