A fun email for Friday. I hope you enjoy!

The CyberTruck buzz reminds me of the iPhone launch:
- Everyone thought it was partially stupid (no keyboard was a VERY big deal back then).
- It's so drastically different than the norm it felt like it could take over the world or totally flop.
- At the same time, EVERYONE wanted to see one in person!

Wisdom:

Was on a phone call with @PaulYacoubian (CEO of Copy AI), he's recently started using a mechanical typewriter more often and found these benefits:

"Each word comes with an effort penalty."

"Everything that's in your brain comes out but with less words and less bloat."

I do agree that there's something very pure about writing with no electricity. It inspired me to buy a bunch more of these "cow notebooks" to fill up with notes:

Interesting:

It was ChatGPT's 1st birthday yesterday!

So ChatGPT is only 1 year old....

This reminds me of the dawn of the internet:
- At first it was fringe and hard to use (GPT-3).
- Then it became pretty good and useful (GPT-4).
- Then it became very easy to use (ChatGPT).
- Then it became SUPER easy with mobile phones it took over the entire world (???).

The future of people working with their brains will become very interesting.

Picture:

Me and some friends went to a "Game Show Birthday" where you compete on different games:

I think this video would better explain it:

It was actually REALLY FUN and highly recommended!

Essay:

In November 2023 these are the number of accounts reached from each tentacle of Copywriting Course:

• YouTube: 124,000
• CopywritingCourse.com: 87,922
• SwipeFile.com: 42,517
• Instagram: 51,000
• TikTok: 258,000
• Email: 58,650
• Total: 622,089

I have noticed social media is faaaarrr eclipsing organic SEO.

I'm not 100% sure yet, but I THINK I have a plan to reverse that in 2024 where reliance on social platforms is decreased.

Our community is so fun and awesome, and I want to expand it (without ruining the good vibe).

Splurge:

These are better than drugs...

One of my all-time favorite products on the planet are: Soft ear plugs!

I use them to sleep every night, and I use them to get deep focused work done.

I keep a pair in my bedroom, my desk, and my laptop bag.

I re-use each pair many times but they are essentially disposable.

I can use basically any old ear plugs for a while, but if you wear them all the time some brands hurt your ears. These also block 32 decibels of sound.

I like this brand because they're "softer" than traditional ear plugs.

Maybe these would be a cool stocking stuff for someone you know! I use these things every single day and love them :)

I hope you enjoyed these Friday tid-bits!
Sincerely,
Neville Medhora
