Hi everyone,
I joined today and I’m happy to be here.

I joined the club because I want to learn from the greats and John Carlton is at the top of what I’ve researched and read.

Thanks

Express is basically a free express version and it’s definitely worth going through a couple of times. I haven’t done SWS yet but there were many things I took away and implemented just from express.

Hi all,
I am a freelance content writer.
I bought John’s course and was delivered an e-book. Is there a way I can download it to my kindle? Reading the book on the phone/laptop screen is slightly inconvenient.-
Hi Prachi: The manual is in PDF format, which can be read by most Kindles. There is a download button on the upper right of the PDF player. Just download it and then upload it to your Kindle. There is an article that explains how to do it here: https://www.groovypost.com/howto/read-pdf-microsoft-word-documents-kindle-device/

There are many other ways to get the word out. One thing you could look into is using native advertising networks (ie Taboola) which aren’t as particular about the content of the ad or the theme of the landing page.
