I'm taking today off for some planning, but I did buy something I had to share with you. It’s from the guy who actually beat me in a promo – and he did it with a tiny list.
Before we dig into that, as an FYI - Sharyn Sheldon's From PLR to Profit (full PLR course)
is live today. And it has an early bird discount and bonus, too. And since I'm not emailing out tonight, just know that you have a little over 24 hours left to get my new limited PLR called Profit Webs from Tiny Products.
Always learn from those who are competitive with you! It's a case study (my favorite way to learn) by Val Wilson called Tiny List - Big Results. I don't know anything about him that I can remember, but I went to check out the sales page and there it was...
I didn’t even realize there was a contest going on, but Dennis Becker messaged me that I won $100 for 3rd place for promoting his 5 Bucks a Day Next Generation product. Val came in first. That caught my attention. I’m usually a top 1–5% affiliate, so when someone with a smaller list passes me, I want to know why.
Turns out Val used AI to do most of the work – from creating a killer bonus to writing emails and even his product review.
His case study breaks it all down step-by-step, including the exact prompts he used and how he tweaked the outputs to match his style.
I also realized that I actually start the bonus creation process the exact same way he does. We just finish them differently. This case study is cheap. And it’s the kind of course I love learning from.
I was beaten by a bot! The
shame. LOL! As an FYI - my promotion for Dennis's course was done because he reached out to me asking me to promote and I remembered how much I liked the original 5 Bucks a Day course. I sent one email and 1 brief one sentence reminder to my list to achieve the #2 spot. I didn't have a bonus or anything.
And that's exactly what seems to have set up apart. Val had a bonus and it took a few minutes to create thanks to AI.
And what he does for tweaking his emails is exactly what I do with everything I have AI write.
