How to create a photoshoot with AI

asked me, Joe, what's the best way to create a photo shoot with artificial intelligence? You see, I'm using this artificial intelligence technology called Evvy AI. It's a sales assistant that will help you with your online presence. It'll help you save time and effort, improve your visibility, build credibility, and there's a bunch of really cool features that we recently added. To this technology, and I want to show you how they work. But first, let's listen to a song by my daughter while I get some action going. So the first thing I'm going to do is check out her little mess.

Rosie in the dollhouse, queen of the scene. Got a Kindle in my hand, digital dream. Building castles in my mind, stories so wide. Pixel princess adventure inside. This is Rosie's world. Oh, it's my swirl. Spinning round with joy. Just a little girl. Dogs and games, my family's my pearl. Yeah, this is Rosie's world. Basil barks, tail wagging, we're a team.

Aww!

Video games, lit up screens that gleam. Tap, tap, tap, high score on my mind. The family laugh, that's the gold I find. Tea parties with bears, they all take a seat. Dollhouse drama, oh, it's sweet. So sweet, so sweet. Mom says I'm silly. Dad joins a play in Rosie's world. It's a perfect day. It's a perfect day. It's a perfect day. This is Rosie's world. Oh, it's pretty cool, right?

Then my son started building sickos. Listen to this song. He wanted something with a little Indian flair, so I made him a sicko. Also, check out these photos. Like, it's insane.

Bumble pole stack, grip tight in the grip. Sucker walls rise, no screws gonna slip. Crown Heights to Flatbush, we rolling legit. Borough Park blessings, every joint gotta fit. Hammer in hand, we the missful brigade. Palm fronds overhead, casting that shade. Snap the ladders tight, no corners get played. Supporting the hood, every plan well laid. We build it, we sell it, we make it stand tall.

Sucker squad's got Just incredible. Just incredible what you're able to build so quickly. Show this man walking confidently through a modern corporate lobby wearing a tailored charcoal suit. Purposeful stride with a briefcase in hand as he passes beneath a massive brushed steel letters mounted on a marble wall reading, Excellence is not a skill, it's an attitude, with dramatic uplift casting bold shadows.

Wow.

Okay, so how do you create prompts like this? What's the method to doing this? First, I noticed that a lot of people have been commenting on my And I didn't even realize, so if you're watching me live right now, just say, I'm watching you live. I'm going to copy a link to this post. I'm going to say, I am live now, in case you are wondering. Let me remove all the extra UTMs from here. OK. And I'm going to also—

OK.

All right, so now I'm just kind of like promoting to like let people know that I'm live. So I'm sending it to a couple of WhatsApp groups.

Let's see.

Um, okay. All right, so let's, let's talk about image generation. First of all, I created a photo shoot prompts. So here's, here's a bunch of photo shoot prompts. There's 150 different photo shoot prompts, so definitely check them out. Um, right over here. Like, for example, this one over here kind of like creates words with chocolate, and you could literally write anything you want related to your post and chocolate. Here, this one is holding an ice cream, and it has words on top of the ice cream like that. And there's many, many, many, many others. 150 ideas over here, like the mirror breath message. Show a man in a modern bathroom leaning close to a foggy mirror Wearing a casual t-shirt, having just breathed warm air into the glass with his finger tracing clarity becomes— comes from reflection in the condensation. Slight smile as he steps back to admire the message while morning light steams through a window. Wow. Okay, the other one is chocolate coffee art. Capture this man in a cozy cafe wearing a sweater leaning over a cappuccino with amazed expression as the barista has written success is sweet in chocolate drizzle on the foam with his hands wrapped around the coffee cup and pastries visible in the wooden table. Just incredible. Here's the one— here's another creative one. Ice block freezer discovery. Position this man opening a commercial freezer door wearing a winter jacket, shocked in delight As he discovers the massive ice blocks would stay cool under pressure frozen onto them. Right? Isn't that amazing? Let me refresh my recent activity, see if anybody commented yet. If you're watching this live, let me know that you're watching it live. It'll show up right over here when I refresh this page. So I'll come back and refresh in just a few minutes. Show this man in a work— working shop wearing safety goggles with a work apron. Do you want to see how fast, um, how fast you're able to create something? So check this out. I'm going to go in here to the image generator. I'm going to paste this. I'm going to add an image of me. I'm going to pick a random image of me like this one here, and I'm going to press create. Okay. So I took a picture of my face. Together with a prompt from here. I took the stone monument engraving prompt, and it's going to generate the prompt much faster than most image generation tools that are out there today, because most image generation tools, they slow down because they're not charging a lot. But because we have the latest most expensive model available by Google called Nano Banana. We basically create unlimited images that look a certain way. Dramatic sky creating an epic backdrop, just like that. Um, it's actually really cool what you can do here. Here's a protest rally energy. Show this man in the center of an energetic crowd wearing a branded t-shirt, raising his fist. Surround enthusiastic people holding No More Lurking, Engage Now, Action Over Excuses, and bold letters in an urban street setting. Let's go ahead and create that one. And instead of this photo, we're going to change the photo to this photo here. We're going to hit create. And let's just see, let's see what this protest rally looks like. I really like that idea. In the meantime, I'm going to go ahead and create a song. I'm going to create a simple song. It's going to be create. Oh my God, let's see what this looks like. Wow, that really looks like, you know, no more lurking, engage now, engage now, action over excuses. Oh, I like this. Okay, I'm going to download this. So the easiest way to download this is to press the little download button in the extension and then downloads it right over here together with the prompt so you know what the prompt was. Now, if you want to post this on LinkedIn, it's really easy to post stuff on LinkedIn from here. Let me refresh the page here so I can show you. Okay, it looks like we got one comment so far. Tom Wells, magic work here, Joe, has been one of the most impactful ones you've generated. Um, I'm gonna just pop this one in the comments. No, not that one. This one. The one where I am in crowds.

Okay.

I'm going to go ahead and click on start a post. So check this out. I can press the copy button over here inside the side panel. And then I could just paste it right in here. That is insane. You can literally paste it in Facebook, Twitter, you can paste it anywhere you want. You can copy all your photos, any photo that you've created. And we have the ability to basically create as many photos as you like. You just get credits called Evicoin. And I've created many dozens of photos in different situations of me. Literally, it looks exactly like me. And wow, now I can share these photos. Now, if I'm not sure what to write, we have an AI writer. So if you click on content, you select your goal, in this case, maybe informational, your tone, visionary, and then your, um, then you select your persona. I'm gonna click on the webinar. It's time to start engaging on posts. No more lurking. Actions over excuses. If you want to support somebody, it's important for you to start properly posting. A friend recently asked me, he said, Joe, what can I do for you? How can I add value to your life today? I said, simple. Just comment on my posts. How hard is it? Okay, so let's see. I'm going to go ahead and create this post. Now I spoke into the, um, I spoke into here and I typed up what I said, and now it's going to convert it into a solid post. Every interaction counts. Recently a friend asked me, Joe, how can I add value to your life? My answer was to just comment on my posts. A small action with a big impact. I'm gonna tag Abby AI here. All right, I'm going to take this, copy it, and I'm going to go ahead and Let my friends know that I posted this.

Boom.

Now what I could also do is there are many support groups here, like this one here, that I can share this in. You see that? Little support groups that I'm posting, posting. You can type in support and you can find all the different support groups that you have. Let's have a group. You see the way I'm pasting them all in here?

Yeah.

Look how many different groups I'm pasting this into. All right, let's just see what happens. I'm gonna make a little song now. I'm gonna ask AI to make me a song about image creation. Let's see what people are saying here. Look how many people have commented on this. I'm gonna go ahead and like everybody's comments here. And I'm going to reply to them as well, but let's listen.

A thousand faces in a blink of time, all these versions of me, infinite climb. Yeah, mirror, who's the muse today? Click, snap, on a pixel parade.

Hey!

Prop machine, make me shine. Infinite looks in the blink of time. Thing you see is she. Prop machine, show the world. I'm every face, I'm every girl. Thing you see is she. Filters dancing, a digital hue. Every shadow feels like brand new. Swipe left, swipe right, a gallery of me. Infinite mirrors, what do they see? Pose and spin, the lights obey. One more twist, let the colors sway. Prop machine, make me shine. Infinite looks in the blink of time. Prop machine.

This is the, um, this is the Bodyguard images. Did it not work? Oh my God, look how good this is. Oh, that's so cool. Heavy AI does images. Get a photo shoot. Oh my God, so good, so juicy! Look how juicy this is. Oh my God, oh my God, so good. I'm so happy right now. I don't even know why I'm so happy, but I'm just so happy that we have this technology that I can give out to people, and you could literally use it at no cost. You can try it out for free. Like, wow, wow, I'm so excited. Okay, I want to show you something else. Like, I showed you image generation, we looked at some prompts. I mean, there's 150 prompts. I could spend all day looking at the prompts, but I want to show you something cool. If you save somebody's If you save somebody's profile, you can then put them into a list. So in this case, I'm going to check out EANYC, active. These are all the active members of the Executives Association. I hover over their profile, I click on Open Quick Link, and then I could open up all their recent posts. Now you can see Don Celestino recently posted 12 hours ago, and nobody even acknowledged it. So I'm going to go ahead and acknowledge him. Okay, I'm going to copy this and I'm going to comment, that is cool. Now I'm going to take that same comment and put it on my most recent Okay, I'm going to go ahead and like. I'm going to separate this so that it shows up as a link. I'm going to press comment. All right, 80 people already saw this, but only Tom Wells commented on it. Okay, I'm gonna go ahead and reply to his comment. I just replied to Tom's comment. Tom, thank you for engaging with my content. I appreciate that. Okay, let's take a look at some of these other comments we have here. Kelly commented, Tom commented. Let's take a look at the previous post before that. This one over here, we had 9 comments. Let's take a look at who commented. Howard, thank you and enjoy. Image generation model sounds impressive. It's very good. Now somebody said, Joe, can you actually— this is mind-blowing. Glad you like it. Um, can you actually create these images inside ChatGPT? Well, let's compare it. Let's go to ChatGPT. Let's drag an image of me. Let's go find an image of me. I'm going to say face shots. I'm going to drag it like this. This is the image of me, and I'm going to use the same exact prompt. I'm going to go here, grab this prompt, drag it into here. I'm going to press go, and let's just see what ChatGPT does. So like, in terms of how much time it takes, it definitely takes a long much longer time. And once it starts generating the photo, you're going to see what the photo looks like. It's not going to be the same looking photo. And I try this with all the different models like Leonardo. I tried it with Canva. I tried it with Midjourney. Midjourney even has an image generation that allows you to add people. I'm paying for Midjourney. I should cancel Midjourney.

Midjourney now.

I am paying for Midjourney and I don't need to pay for Midjourney anymore. Let me show you something. You want to add an image, you can do square, landscape, portrait, mode, raw, version, resolution. You see they have version 7 already. Um, if I add an image, I'm going to go ahead and add image 1. Upload an image, image 1. So I have this image, and then for this specific image, I could turn into a video. You see, it's up, so it's starting frame, ending frame. Um, I could say, well, I don't want to do a video. I want to do an image of this person, so I can click on Switch to Image. So now it's set on image, and I can do Character Reference, and then I can take the same image, grab the same thing, and drag it in here like that. And then I can just say Go, and then I can go to my recently created images just to kind of see what it creates. Let's just take 10% complete. Let's see a photo. Look, it's still going over here. It's still trying to create this. Think of the speed. You saw me create this image in like nano time, like so fast. And over here, ChatGPT is still creating it. And look what it's going to do. Look at this. Does this look anything like me? And look at the words. Get Ali Foti. What are we doing? Compare this to the quality of Evie AI. Compare that. You can't compare it. It's insane. Look at this and look at this. Let's see this. Does this look anything like me? Nothing. It looks— get a photoshoot? Get a photoshoot? Really? Is that what I'm paying $20 a month for ChatGPT? To do this? Get a photo shoot and better, but this looks nothing like me. This looks like me. You see this? This is me. This is me. This here, not me. Some other random dude. Crazy. Crazy, crazy. So yeah, Midjourney, have a good day. ChatGPT, have a good day. Nobody can compete. Even the latest models can't compete with what Evie AI has available to you right now. So just saying, really proud that we have this available to you and you can do this right now with your photo in seconds. Create any picture you want. Like OMG. Um, so yeah, I would definitely, I would definitely do, I definitely use this technology to help you build a library of images that— oh, so check this out. I wanted to show you what I created. I created a a photo shoot prompt generator. So check this out. You can put in your post idea here, but you don't have to. You could do style and categories. You could do fun, creative, casual, or professional. Um, I'm gonna do professional. And then you can put in your message for what text you want in it. And then you can decide, do you want to pose, walking, holding a cape, shielding, Casual, you wanna do casual, smiling. You wanna wear a suit? You wanna be on a conference? Or maybe on a mountain, on a city street? I'm gonna do city street. What is the format? Portrait, I'm gonna do portrait. You see, ultra-realistic photo of the provided subject. Maintain the subject's identity and facial features accurately. Category, professional. Setting, street. Attire, suit and tie. Holding a cape forward shielding. Expression, smiling. Camera, standard portrait, 50mm. Eye level, standard. Body, depth of field, lighting. You see that? It kind of goes through the whole thing. If you want to change any of that other stuff, you click on advanced settings here, and you can change things right here. You can change whatever you want. And if you wanted to automatically do it, you click on Randomize, it'll automatically go ahead and add everything in for you.

You see?

Randomize, randomize, randomize, randomize. Unbelievable. I'm going to click on Simple and then Randomize Simple. You can— here's a suggestion. Your message medium, a bus wrap, usually within the bus interior setting. Your current setting is coffee shop. So I'm going to apply suggestion. Random message strategy. Energy without strategy is useless. Is a waste of time. Okay, so I kind of have this here. Grown-up tux, formal gown, grown-up tux. Setting, bus interior, one by one, full expression laughing. We're going to do standing facing the camera, pointing at the sign. Okay. Copy prompt. Literally go into Evvie AI, paste it here, grab a photo. We're gonna do photo number 1, press create. And I will be in a bus interior wearing a formal gown or a tux, laughing, pointing at a sign. You'll see a bus wrap. Look at that. Look at that. This looks like me. Energy without strategy is a waste of time.

Wow. Wow.

Unbelievable. Let's look at the prompt here. Message: energy without strategy is a waste of time. It does say bus rap here.

Refresh.

Actually remembers everything that you say as well. Reset. What is permalink? I don't know what permalink is. Anyway, wow, valuable, right? Let me go ahead and keep playing another song for you. Let's play another song.

Let the colors sway. Proma shade, make me shine. Infinite looks in the blink of time. Proma shade, show the world. I'm every face, I'm every girl. I'm every face.

Let's, let's listen to this song here.

Insane how many prompts are made available.

Yeah.

Many different types of prompts, many different ways.

I think I need to make some adjustments to this prompt generator because the message says handheld sign.

I think I fixed this already.

Oh, I may have not added it.

Let the world collide.

Click, click, flash, repeat.

It's a scene so sweet. Picture perfect dreams under city heat.

Yeah, I'm gonna Like a—

Filters dancing, a digital hue. Every shadow feels like brand new. Swipe left, swipe right, a gallery of me. Infinite mirrors, what do they see? Pose and spin, the lights obey. One more twist, let the colors sway.

Obviously I included all of them in it.

Prop machine, make me shine. Infinite looks in the blink of time.

Oh, he's so pretty. So many options. That's why I made a simple version and an advanced version.

The advanced version Still adding word masks. Crazy.

Crazy. Okay, and I literally did it in a second.

That's, that's the crazy thing about it. Unbelievable. Let's listen to this.

Okay, okay. So that's there you go. There you go. There you have it. That's the image generator. That's how you create images with artificial intelligence very quickly. Look at this one here. Wisdom at last everything. I created a lot of images and I did it very, very quickly as well. What else do we have going on here? We have— oh, this is what else we have. We have a dashboard, we have templates, and then you can select keyboard shortcuts. So these are all the templates with keyboard shortcuts. So for example, if someone viewed my profile first degree, I do Alt+9, you see. I'm gonna do Ctrl+0. Yeah, VI webinar is Alt+2. Order by date created. I don't know why it's kind of sending me places. Alt+2. Find articles, Alt+0. Podcast, Alt+1. Okay, so if I want to promote the article, I do Alt+2. Which one's the birthday one? Comment is Alt+5 and 6. Find articles is 0, 1. So all 3 is nothing. Let's look for birthday. I'm going to uncheck this. It's not searching. Put tags DM, DM feeding. And we're gonna do the birthday one. Where is the birthday one? Oh, it's not DM feeding, it's DM greeting. Birthday, happy birthday. That's Facebook.

Okay.

Oh man.

So belated birthday. Happy birthday, Facebook. Happy birthday. Let's see this one here. That's happy birthday, Facebook. This one is happy Birthday LinkedIn. Today's 29. Update. We're going to change this to Alt+3. Okay, so this is Alt+3, and then belated would be Alt+4. We're gonna go to belated 3 and 4. We're gonna make this for yesterday, 29/28. Update template. All right, so let's go into Learning Hub and then let's click on Quick Links and Birthdays on LinkedIn. All right, so I'm going to click on this guy's birthday. I'm going to do Alt 4? No, no, Alt+3. Oh my God, that was so fast. Alt+3. Dude, this is insane. I'm literally pressing Alt+3 and wishing people happy birthday just like that. Now I'm gonna do for the 28th, I'm gonna do Alt+4. Wow, wow, this is insane. Wow, that was so quick. I've never done anything faster. Insane. So you can set specific keyboard shortcuts to specific templates, and then those templates will come up very, very quickly for you whenever you want them. So for example, if I want to say thanks for commenting on my post, I can make that a template. Like for example, I can say— I can go to templates. Thanks for commenting. Hey, thanks for commenting. Appreciate it. Thanks for leaving, Ethel. Okay, so I'm gonna write comment. Now I can make it comment reply and call it comment reply.

Save.

So I have this comment reply, so I could technically just push the up arrow by each one like this. You see, that's pretty easy, but I have to go peck at it. It's still fast, still super fast. I love that when you— that when you look at pages, the pages say how many followers the page have under them, you see. Yeah, it definitely shows how many comments it has on it. Wow, that's a lot of messages. Those tunes are sick. Okay, um, yeah, that's, that's incredible. Let's go look at more. Look how many, look how many DMs I sent since this morning. It's— you could just keep scrolling down, down, down, down. You have a typo in your new article. The link goes to evyao.

Hi Ryan, this is Joe Apfelbaum. How are you?

I'm sorry, who's this?

This is Joe. I got notified that you, uh, asked for information about our 99 LinkedIn Hacks, Ryan. Um, did you fill out a form related to that looking for our videos? I did, yeah.

No, I'm driving right now.

Okay.

Yeah, so yeah, it's like $1,000, something like that. We can—

Please.

Okay. Where are you headed today?

Uh, New Jersey. Where are you?

I'm in New Jersey as well, believe it or not. Yeah, I'm in Jersey. Are you coming from like, what, are you coming from Pennsylvania?

We are.

Yeah.

Oh, very nice. Very nice. I sent you the, um, the link with the, with the coupon code so that you have it when you stop driving. Obviously don't do it while you're driving.

Yeah.

Do you have a business or are you, um, Are you looking for a job?

Uh, no, I have a business.

Nice. Nice.

Yep.

So yeah, we help business owners be able to leverage LinkedIn more effectively. We actually have an AI, um, that will write your posts and, um, create your, uh, comments and generate images for you and so on. And we're doing a class about it on Tuesday at 1:00 PM. If you want, I can send you the details to join the class if you're up for it. Would you want to join a class live with me?

I would, but, uh, Tuesday doesn't work. There's next Tuesday.

Actually, next Tuesday I'm out too. Okay. Okay. Well, I'll, I'll keep you updated. I mean, check out the 99 Hacks. I'd love to know what you think about it when you do. And, um, let's be in touch. Okay. You got it. Thank you. Safe drive.

Bye.

All right. He was interested. He just thought it was $1,000. Now I'm going to go ahead and change the opportunity here, Ryan, and I'm going to make it that he was interested in paying $99, just like that. I'm going to hit resume. Now, if I had to dial every single one of these 500 numbers manually, forget it. I would never do it.

Hello, this is Joe Applebaum.

I got notified, Colleen, that you were interested in the 99 LinkedIn Hacks. On September 27th. Did I get that wrong? Or I'm not sure if I even got it right. Were you interested in learning how to leverage LinkedIn, Colleen?

Uh, yeah, I am interested in that.

Oh, wonderful. Wonderful. Do you have a business or are you looking for a job? What's your jam?

I'm looking for a job.

Oh, fantastic. Fantastic. I was actually thinking about this because a lot of people that want to get hired, what they need to do is they need to network better. Am I right about that? Like, do you agree with that?

Well, um, I mean, I would have, uh, prior to seeing a study I saw last week that indicated that it's not quite as effective as, uh, as just applying on job boards, which, you know, is backed by real research. And my experience is that I've gotten a lot more, uh, interviews from just applying on job boards than I have from trying to reach out. And network my way into, you know, an interview.

Okay, I hear you. Yeah, I don't mean networking your way into an interview, but—

What do you mean then?

What I mean is, let's say for example, I gave you a list of 150 people that are willing to have a conversation with you over the course of any amount of time that you want and build a real relationship and become like a friend to you, like a relationship that networks with you And then you look into your network to help them. They look into their network to help you. And they say that 80% of introductions turn into meetings. So if you're looking for an opportunity, I know this worked for me and it works for my clients. And it's just, it's a concept called networking that a lot of people don't really do. I'm not talking about like forcing your way into an interview by messaging the recruiting manager and blah. That doesn't work because they get inundated and they get annoyed. I'm talking about getting an introduction from a friend. Like, what type of position are you looking for now?

I'm looking for a director or above level procurement role.

Okay, so you're looking for a director above level in procurement role. And who would you need to speak to in like an organization? Like what type? Is there a specific industry or?

No, I mean, my skills are transferable.

Okay.

I've worked in CPG and aerospace. But yeah, so I don't, you know, I'm not— I think it's, you know, the job that I— the jobs that I've had have been, they're really, you know, I would say industry agnostic.

Yeah.

There's not really, you know, like I said, skills are the skills, and you can take those anywhere.

Yeah, the skills are the skills, and you can take them anywhere. And the best way to get an introduction is via building a relationship with someone and then them looking into their network and seeing, because everybody knows 100, 200, 300 people in their life. And you can say, you know what? I know a CFO at a company that might need somebody for procurement. They are a $40 million business, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So, there's an opportunity and also optimizing your LinkedIn profile, making sure that you're posting content regularly. I think those things can help a lot. Are you doing those things at all or not really?

I'm doing some. I'm doing some. I've been talking to several career coaches and different people. The problem I see with it is that everybody has a different answer. If there's one way to do this—

There isn't one way. There's so many ways to skin the cat. There's so many different ways to Dance. There's so many different ways to get clients if you're looking for clients. So everyone has their way that worked for them. If you're curious to see me in action, I can send you a link to my next class, which is Tuesday at 1 PM, and you can check it out. You can come for free, check it out, network, build relationships. And if it's something you want to learn more about, you know, you— I'm happy to set up a call with you and show you my computer screen and show you what I do.

Okay. Yeah, that'd be great. That'd be great. I'd love to do that tomorrow.

Okay.

So I just sent you the link to register for the webinar. It's Tuesday at 1:00 PM Eastern. So tomorrow at 1:00 PM, check it out. I don't know if you got the text message, but check out your texts and you'll see it there.

Did you text it to me?

Yeah, I just, I just sent it to you via text message.

I got it right here.

Okay, cool. And if you, and if you want, you can also send me your LinkedIn URL so I can check it out. I'm not sure. I didn't get your LinkedIn URL when you submitted the form. It just gave me your cell, your email, and your name.

Okay.

So send me your LinkedIn URL so I can check. I sent you mine so you can look at my LinkedIn URL.

Do you want me to send it on email?

You can send it through text. You can reply with your LinkedIn URL through text.

That's fine.

And then I'll check it out and let you know what I think. Maybe I'll give you a suggestion or two of what I think you can improve there. And if you, and if you want those 99 LinkedIn hacks, I could give you a special deal. It's usually $1,000, but I can give it to you for $99 if you're interested. I don't know if you're interested in all 99 hacks. They're 1 minute each. But if you're interested in that, I can, you know, let me know and I'll send you the deal for $99.

Okay. All right, I'll let you know.

All right. Thank you, Colleen. Great chatting with you. We'll be in touch.

Thank you. All right, bye.

Bye. Okay, so she was interested, but, you know, She wants a job. She's a job seeker. She's not a business owner. So I'm focused on business owners really. But sometimes job seekers will reach out to me and they'll be like, hey Joe, can you help me? Can you help me find a job? And I think it's the same. Personally, I think it's the same process of finding a job and getting clients. I really think it's the same. Very similar process, I should say. Not the same process, but a very similar process. It's 9 o'clock. Let's see if I have another call. I don't have another call till 9:15, so I can keep hitting those phones. And as you can see, I'm actually doing the actual work. A lot of people are just not willing to make the calls. Hello?

Hello?

I have no idea what happened there. Where is it? Couldn't agree more. We're going to go ahead and we're going to do Alt. What was it? Oh, we didn't set an Alt for this. We just have the up arrow for this.

Your call to our voice message system, 4169.

All right, let's keep, let's keep listening to some music.

Clack keys like a maestro's wand. Efficiency's the kingdom, I'm the digital dawn. Pulse buzzing, decisions spawn. Daily grind, but the dream lives on. Dreams in the ether, send flies over. Beyond no whispers, thoughts uncovered.

Hello, this is Joe Apfelbaum. How are you today?

I'm good, how are you, Joe?

I'm good, Earl. Um, I got a notification that on September 27th you requested some information about our 99 LinkedIn Hacks, and I wanted to tell you more about them if you didn't already click on the link and check it out.

Yeah, I'm actually planning on looking at it. I've got some stuff going on this morning, but I'm planning on checking on— checking in on that later this afternoon.

Just so you know, we're running a special deal right now, Earl, that it's usually $1,000, but we have them for $99. If you're interested, I can send you the link to order it for $99, and you can get all 99. Right now there's 2 example ones for free that I sent you, but If you want all 99 hacks, I'm happy to send you the, um, the discount, the $900 off.

Let me look at the other 2 first.

Okay. Okay. Okay. And are you looking for clients right now or are you looking for a job? What's your story?

Uh, I'm looking for contracts. Like, uh, I've just picked up one, uh, with the company. I've just recently moved to Mexico. I've been an interpreter and translator for 25 years. English and Spanish.

And, um, hablas español?

Sí, hablo español.

Sí, qué lindo.

Sí, usted también?

Sí, habla español también.

Ay, qué bueno. Sí, yo como dije, yo tengo 25 años como intérprete, 10 años con las escuelas del estado de Carolina del Norte y también 15 años con Diferentes clínicas, especialmente clínicas sin fines de lucro. Pero estoy trabajando, estoy buscando compañías para contratar que yo pueda hacerlo virtual o por teléfono.

Sí, y hay muchas compañías en LinkedIn, pero tienes que aprender cómo usar LinkedIn. Veo que no hiciste post en mucho tiempo, no publicaste cosas en mucho tiempo, entonces Si quieres, tenemos un webinar que va a ser mañana a las 1 de la tarde y te la puedo mandar. Te puedo mandar un mensaje con el link del webinar si quieres por text.

Sí, por favor.

Entonces vení a mirar lo que estoy enseñando a la gente. Lo voy a enseñar en inglés, pero también tenemos webinars en español.

Ok, perfecto.

Ok, te lo mandé. Muchas gracias y te lo agradezco.

Okay, gracias. Bye.

Okay, ciao. So that's me switching from English to Spanish. He's definitely interested. I'm gonna go ahead and mark him as interested, but we're still qualifying him. He's gonna check it out, and he's also coming to the webinar tomorrow. How cool is that? Amazing. I'm gonna go ahead and hit resume, and we'll put on some music again. Let's go. Hey, this is Joe Applebaum. Is this Najiba?

This is not.

Oh, this is Joe Applebaum from the 99 LinkedIn Hacks yesterday, September 27th. Oh, was it? It wasn't yesterday.

It was a couple of days ago.

Yes. Yeah.

You were interested in learning more about it. And, and I was just curious to know, do you have a business or, um, or are you looking for a job? What's your story?

I'm actually, I'm actually looking for a job. Um, I recently got laid off.

Okay.

Um, and you know, I use, I use LinkedIn.

LinkedIn.

Um, yeah, but I'm not, It's not that user-friendly in my opinion, even though I use computers all the time. And because I'm a consultant, it looks pretty, you know, shabby, you know, even though if I do a contract for 6 months, you know, I work as much as a year or maybe even more when I only work 6 months. So I don't think it gives me— the ability to maybe explain. I don't know.

I really don't know how to use it well. Yeah, yeah, you don't. And you know what? That's why we exist. We exist to teach you how to use it really well and to help you find the— and to make you look really good as well. Because when I Google you, when I Google your name, you know, your LinkedIn comes up first. That's the first thing that comes up. Like, for like 90% of people, especially if you have a unique name, your name is pretty unique. So you don't have like 1,000 people. If your name was John Smith or Jane Doe or whatever, You would have a lot of competition, but you're, you're basically automatically branded. So it's important for you to kind of take a look at your name and say, okay, you know what? How do I make sure that I really, really stand out? And sometimes working with a coach or a strategist or getting a program can help you be able to cut through the clutter and get the support that you need. Just like when you're sick, you might go to a doctor instead of trying to figure it out yourself.

Mm-hmm.

It's the same thing when you need help with LinkedIn. You can go to a LinkedIn Daddy.

So how much, how much is the program? Because I've reached out before for like an employment coach, you know, just trying to see if I can reinvent myself because the type of work that I do in finance, um, I do anti-money laundering, is directly affected with politics.

Yeah.

And I'm gonna, if I need to pay my mortgage, I have to reinvent myself.

So I reached out to To a coach.

And, um, it's like the plan is like $5,000.

I know, so many people are charging a ridiculous amount of money. I mean, I think, I think the max you should spend— I think the max you should spend on a course should be under $1,000. Um, and if you, and if you also get like one-on-one support, where— because you're gonna probably need that, um, that would be a bonus. I don't know if anybody can technically charge, you know, have you pay $1,000 and then sit with you for 10 hours one-on-one over the course of time, plus give you a bunch of other stuff. But I would probably be willing to do that. I would be willing to get one of my employees to sit with you for 10 hours for under $1,000 and just kind of hold your hand through the process if that's something that you're interested in.

Okay. I'm definitely interested in it once I land a contract.

Yeah, yeah.

You first have to lawn the canter. But in the meantime, what I can do is, in the meantime, what I can do is I can give you access to our 99 LinkedIn hacks for just $99. That's not like a big swing for you, is it? It's a dollar. It's a dollar. It's a dollar a hack.

It's a dollar.

Yeah.

Look, I went out to dinner and I spent $99.

Yeah.

Well, actually, because like, actually, I'm in New York, right? I live in Texas, but I'm in Jersey.

Yeah.

Yeah. So I'm, um, I'm trying to relocate my mom and this and this during unemployment time. But just if you will give me 7 days.

Okay.

And I can reach back out to you. Yeah, because I don't want to overcommit, you know, because I—

Yeah, yeah, you're good.

I am taking courses already. I'm, I've, I'm really, I've really stepped up. I'm taking some leadership courses that I started. And I'm paying for those, so I don't want to overcommit.

Yeah, don't, don't overcommit.

I'm really making the effort.

Good. Don't overcommit. Just know that where we are, know that we're here for you when you're ready.

Okay.

And in 7 days you can reach back out. You can text back. I sent you the coupon code for getting it at $900 off for the, for the 99 Hacks if you decide you want to taste it. And also tomorrow at 1 PM we're doing a class. I'll send you the link to register for free. There's no cost for the class tomorrow, so you can attend that if If you're available, it's at 1 p.m. New York time. So if you want to join, I sent you the link for register for that via text message as well. So you have both of those things in your text message. And when you're ready, you know, when you're ready to take things to the next level, we're here to help you. We're here to make you look really good on LinkedIn and on on Google. All right, Najiba.

All right. Well, thank you so much, sir.

We'll talk again soon.

All right, then. Have a great day. You too.

Bye.

Let's keep smiling and dialing.

Hello?

Hello?

Hi, this is— is this Antonio?

Yes.

I was notified that you were interested in finding out information about the 99 LinkedIn Hacks. Am I right about that, or I totally got it off wrong? Did you hit us up this weekend saying that you're interested? Do you use LinkedIn, Antonio?

Yes, let me take a look. I'm not sure if I sent any information.

Hablas español?

Sí.

No querías no querías encontrar clientes con LinkedIn?

No.

Okay. Alguien alguien me mandó tu número que estabas interesado en aprender cómo usar LinkedIn.

Yo creo que está equivocado.

Okay. Ah, porque no tienes un negocio, no tienes un.

No, no.

Okay. Okay. Gracias, Antonio. No, tenga bien. Chao. He said wrong number, bad number. I'm gonna press bad number. I'm gonna click opportunity. I got Antonio. Antonio in the house. Bad number. And it's crazy because they also gave me an email address. His Hotmail and everything. But whatever, moving on. Next, let's go, let's go, let's keep going with the daily flow in the house. Uh, let's go to the next one. Yo, check these templates. Hi, this is Joe Apfelbaum. Oh, I thought, I thought the thing went on. I guess not.

Yeah.

Templates stacking 10 deep, the scrolls and maze. LinkedIn vibes, another tool to blaze. Keyboard shortcuts, fingers dancing haze. Fast-track moves, digital ballet play. Pause on the platform, cast your say. Do you want them? Don't delay. Daily flow, the rhythms go. Mark, can I help you?

Hi, this is Joe Apfelbaum. I'm calling about the 99 LinkedIn Hacks. Is this Uh, Mark Lane?

99 what?

The 99 LinkedIn Hacks. On Friday, um, someone submitted a form at 6 AM saying they were interested in learning more about our LinkedIn training, our 99 LinkedIn Hacks.

Yes.

Do you have a business, Mark, or, um, or are you looking for a job?

Oh, it's private.

You're personal. Okay. Were you looking to learn more about LinkedIn? Did you click on a Facebook ad or something, or I clicked on something.

Yeah. But right now is not a good time. I'm in the middle of an interview.

Oh, congratulations. Yeah, yeah. You're looking for a job. Okay, cool. Yeah, we can call you later. No worries. Thank you, Mark.

Bye.

Wow.

Okay. People are just very hesitant. I'm gonna go ahead and put him in as a job seeker and moving on.

Moving on.

Some people are so open and some people are so hesitant. It's like all over the place. Let's just see what happens. What happened? What happened? What happened? By the way, you guys enjoying this? Are you like? Do you like watching me live? Yes. Let's see my the most recent comment. Oh, that was brilliant. Oh, someone's calling me back. Let me pause it. Let me pause it. Let's see who's calling me back. Hey, hey, Eric, it's Joe Apfelbaum.

How are you doing?

Good. I was notified that you were interested in our 99 LinkedIn Hacks. Did I get that right?

I actually was checking it out.

Okay.

Perusing the thing the other night.

You were just perusing it?

Yeah, it looked interesting. I've done a bunch of already— I do a bunch of LinkedIn tweaking anyway, but I'm always open for new ideas.

Oh, wonderful, wonderful. Do you— what's your, what's your business? Do you have a business?

I have a consulting business in healthcare in terms of strategy and innovation. I've worked on payer provider and, and kind of work— I work for GE Healthcare as my core day-to-day job. In a lot of the AI space.

Oh, wow. That's so cool. Congratulations on that. That's, that's pretty epic. And, and in terms of— and so you do consulting. That's pretty cool that you do consulting. And you're in Pennsylvania?

Yep. Pittsburgh.

Very cool.

Yinzernation.

Pittsburgh in the house. I'm in, I'm in New Jersey. I went to Pittsburgh for a wedding in December. That was pretty cool.

Oh, did you? Nice. So you, uh, you had— are you, uh, who do you root for football-wise? Where's your—

Well, the truth is I'm not really into sports. I'm just, I'm like an internet nerd. I build software and I reverse engineer algorithms, and I happen to also like building relationships and getting to know people. So yeah, that's, that's part of what I do as well.

But one of the things that I've been toying around with is I've had PR folks reach out to me and obviously send me a big ticket proposal to do stuff and I just can't justify that right now.

Yeah, it's too expensive.

It's crazy. And a lot of the stuff, frankly, I—

You already know how to do yourself or whatever, right?

Yeah, I mean, I have some line of sight. Now, that being said, I'm—

the tools that are available today to do your, you know, your own website SEO in seconds, seconds, seconds, and they're like $29, $99, you can get it all done.

Yeah.

So I don't—

I've been—

I've got 2 boys. So I don't— I have like middle-aged boys. And so they I don't have a ton of free time, but when I do get some time, I've been trying to get my website launched, um, just for honestly more brand presence.

Yeah. I mean, that website that you see, 99hacks.club, that website I built with GoDaddy's website generator in like literally 5 seconds.

Well, that's where I, I've, I'm using Durable, but I think it's very similar toolset.

Yeah, Durable's cool as well. The problem with Durable is that, um, you're stuck with Durable paying them, uh, paying them like a, a monthly fee that's like either $12 or $20 a month. Whereas with GoDaddy, if you pay $5 for a .club domain, you get a free website builder for a year. Oh, $5 a year. I don't know if you care about that, the difference between $20 a month and $5 a year.

Yeah, well, I got a promo code with Durable and it came down to a pretty significant— pretty significant—

Oh, nice.

What they're doing.

Nice. It's not terrible. It's not terrible. But like, you know, um, Durable's fine if you're using it. I would just say use it, whatever. But I would say look at, look at different options so you can see what's available. GoDaddy has a great builder. I was surprised because I've been a GoDaddy customer for 20 years.

Yep.

And I was surprised at their level of like, wow, they have an incredible builder now. But in terms of like—

I have a friend who was doing the same thing. One of the things that I'm trying to sort out is I'm— because I publish articles on LinkedIn, but the problem is it stays within that bucket, right?

It does. It stays within the LinkedIn bucket only going to your network or whatever.

Yeah. And so what I have been— my thoughts was, I mean, is to One, get the Durable site stood up. I've got a queue of articles or article series that I'm putting up. And what I was planning to do is, because I have Substack, I have Medium as well.

Oh, Substack's good. I recently started using Substack. I love Substack.

And I like them both. And you, but you have to, what is the index website, wherever you publish it first, Yeah, just so you're not penalized by some of the search engines from an SEO perspective.

But you can like mix the— you can mix the article up, um, and give it like, you know, make one be the FAQ and one be the, the full article, one have images, one be like a carousel, a PDF carousel. I mean, you could, you could mix it up, especially with like Substack and Medium. They allow you to like upload so many different versions of it.

Yep. Well, that's where I was just trying to at least have an anchor article.

Yeah.

And then the UTM generator to kind of— and then push those out to Medium, Substack, and LinkedIn. And then just— and where the main article is posted on the Durable website.

Yeah, yeah. On your main blog and then push them all back to there to drive traffic to that.

Exactly. That's a good idea.

That's a good idea. And you could also like mix in some Twitter and some, you know, some other like linking back to those websites. It seems like you know what you're doing already.

So that's— but I was— I'm always looking for new ideas. That's why I was looking at your thing.

Yeah.

I was gonna see, like, I don't know.

I just— we have a deal going on. We have a deal going on now that it's just $99 instead of $1,000. So if you click on the link I sent you via chat. I sent you a link, not chat.

Yep.

Via text message, I sent you a link. Yeah, there's a discount code there called preorder, and you can order it now still. And in September, we're lowering the price from $1,000 to $99. So yeah, you could order that if you want. It's 1 minute each video, and it's 99 videos with different ideas and hacks on how to leverage LinkedIn properly.

Okay.

I think you'll benefit from that. And then we also have a class tomorrow at 1 PM that you're welcome to join. It's a free class. It's a web— I call it a webinar. Um, I think if you like ideas, I think you'll really enjoy coming to the class. I also keep it high energy and fun. And, you know, we get 50 to 100 people show up to that.

What, uh, let me see what I've got tomorrow.

Do I have—

actually, I can do 1 o'clock.

Okay, cool. I just sent you the link via, um, via text message as well, so you can take a look at that.

And, uh, I'm always, always looking for things because I, I mean, I've worked with some people in marketing, and at least when they worked within a company like a big corporation, I swear to God, they, they only think of like, well, in order to do this, I need $50 grand. And yeah, yeah, it's like, there's— you don't— you just— I was like, because the arm of GE that I'm in And like the solution that I lead is functionally a startup.

Exactly. People don't realize that. They think, they think you get unlimited amount of money, but really you need to be more resourceful, especially if you're a startup within a big organization. I feel like sometimes the biggest organizations are the cheapest.

Yeah.

I mean, it's, it's because they already have brand equity, right?

Exactly. They don't need to spend money. They're like, use my brand. There's— when you say the word GE, you suddenly are like, oh, I can use your brand. That's cool.

Right. Well, and that's the part where I'm a little bit stuck is like we were a startup acquired by GE and we're very different than anything GE does. And I was like, let's— can we just use some of the low cost and just like come up with some— I mean, I mean, but the problem is, is the marketing lady that I have is not formally trained in marketing. She's just worked in marketing within groups before. Yeah, she waits for people to tell her what to do.

She's like an order taker type of thing.

And it drives me batty.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Listen, sometimes you gotta— sometimes you gotta take one step at a time. And your training is really important as well. So most people don't realize how important training is and how significant it is.

Well, sometimes, I mean, like, I see some of this is like just slow drip. Like a little bit of something. Actually, you don't know when somebody's going to— I mean, you just got to be available. And if you're not available, you have no presence, then you get no attention.

That's true. That's true. I would agree with that. If you're not available, you're not going to get much. You need to show up and be there in front of the people at the right time. And if you can do that, oh, that's incredible.

Well, in our sales guys, we can't do dialing for dollars all day. And but I'll be Frankly, honestly, I'm, um, I'm not sure where ours is going to go, so I'm more focused on myself and personal brand equity right now.

Yeah, brand— personal brand equity is always a good investment. It's always a good investment to take, to make a personal brand equity and to do things that way. I would agree with that 100%.

So, um, that's, that's more what I'm— I've been focused on right now.

Amazing.

We're 2 and a half years post-acquisition. And, you know, fucking M&A sucks, dude.

M&A does suck. And the PE firms, they want to gut the businesses and they want to pull the profit out. I mean, just— that's just— I'm talking to somebody about doing a whole podcast about that. So, uh, yeah, that's exactly what happens. They just pull—

they pull out. Startups, how many of them make it? I mean, like 95% don't make it. And then they don't— of the 5% that do make it and they get acquired, Yeah. I would say the success after that, it'd be interesting to— I was talking to somebody the other day and the ones that are successful post-integration are probably within a very small, very small— I mean, look at in healthcare, if you look at Optum, Optum has a— they're in the news for all kinds of bad shit, but they're notorious for buying just a ton of shiny objects and they never go anywhere. And maybe strategically, maybe that's okay. Because they're removing competition from the marketplace.

Yeah.

But because sometimes that is the play.

Yeah.

But yeah, it's unfortunate on my side in the innovation space because you see the opportunity, but it— the inertia around a large company and the inability to integrate and truly—

It's a big challenge. It's a big challenge. And that's why sometimes you got to be the hustler and do your thing.

Yep, that's what I'm trying to do. So trying to find a place that is investing in it, truly investing in innovation.

So yeah. Well, you're doing it. You're doing a great job at taking a leap forward by putting yourself out there. So congrats on doing that. That's really nice.

Well, thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you. Well, and thanks for reaching out, man. And I saw you called last week and last week was a bit of a shit show.

So yeah. No worries.

Call you back, man, and then we'll stay connected and figure out—

Let's do that.

What do you want? What's your— I don't know if I— because I found you on—

I'm on Substack. Yeah, I'm on Facebook, Substack. I'm on Instagram. I'm on Twitter, TikTok. I'm on LinkedIn. I'm on YouTube. I'm basically everywhere.

What's your— on LinkedIn? I don't know if I have you connected on LinkedIn.

I did send you my LinkedIn profile.

Today.

So if you want to check it out, I sent it to you via text message. Um, so if you, if you look at the text message and go back up a little bit, you'll see I sent you the webinar. I sent you the, the deal for 99 Hacks. And then I asked you what your objective is on LinkedIn. And before that, I said, here's my LinkedIn profile. What's yours? But I have yours anyway, so you don't have to worry about it. I found that.

I just connected with you, man.

Okay.

Yeah. I'll accept that connection request. I had to remove somebody else in order to accept you, Eric, but that's okay. Yeah. Because I'm at, I'm at my, um, LinkedIn has a limit. The limit is 30,000 connections. Yeah. So once you hit 30,000 connections, they basically say, we're not going to let you connect with anybody else until you remove some people. So I went ahead and removed some people and then I added you.

Gotcha. Well, Appreciate that.

Yeah, it's my pleasure.

Appreciate all your insights here. And then I'm—

I'll see you tomorrow.

Yeah, sounds good.

You're working with a— what were you gonna say?

I'm working with a few other friends here. We're trying to figure out, I think, the next path. And maybe it's just— I don't know if it'll be consulting. We got a group of executive thought leaders.

And I'm happy to— I'm happy to sit with you guys and share with you how I use LinkedIn.

What do I do?

What do I do to find opportunities because I've been able to generate a multi-million dollar marketing agency just by doing this stuff. And the only reason I get on the phone and call people is because this is what I literally enjoy doing. I just— people watch me do it and they're like, holy crap, you're really good at this. I was like, I'm good at it because I enjoy it. You know what I mean?

Yep. Well, that's— isn't that the— that's the secret sauce, is find something you love to do and find—

yeah. Could you imagine if you were able to like put up an ad on Facebook and people raise their hand And then you had 1,000 people to call, and you had a dialer helping you dial each person, like, just automatically. And then you have music playing until somebody picks up. And when somebody picks up, you have a pleasant, lovely conversation with them.

Amen.

Amen. Amen. That's the name of the game.

Beautiful. Agreed. Well, Joe, I appreciate the outreach and enjoyed the conversation here. Let's definitely stay connected, and I'll talk to my buddies and we'll figure out something. All right.

All right. Thank you so much. We'll talk soon. See you tomorrow. Bye.

Yep.

Thanks.

Bye.

That was a nice conversation. No, no, we got to celebrate. We got to take a moment and celebrate. Here we go.

You don't, you don't have $29?

It's not— I don't have $29. There's lots of things going on because, you know, I get it. It sounds little, but a lot of other—

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Can you hear me?

This is Joe.

I can hear you. This is Joe Applebaum. Is this Paul?

Yeah.

The reason why I'm calling is because on September 14th, I heard that you downloaded our 99 LinkedIn hack. from a Facebook ad, which you probably don't remember because it was about 2 weeks ago. And I figured I'd reach out to see if you enjoyed watching them or if you had any questions about how to leverage LinkedIn. We're actually hosting an event tomorrow. Are you looking for a job or were you— or do you have a business? What's your story, Paul?

I probably just looked at it just for educational reasons.

Okay.

I don't even remember doing it, to be honest with you.

That's totally fine, Paul. A lot of people forgot. That's why I kind of said it that way. Do you want me to send you information about our class tomorrow?

You can send it. Chances are I probably won't be able to attend. I'm working during the day, but you can send it if it works.

Well, you can— you could always register and then we could send you details about how you can catch a replay or whatnot. I sent you the registration link via text message just now, Paul. Are you in sales or are you in operations?

Sales.

Okay, cool. Well, we work with sales teams and teach them how to use LinkedIn. Do you think there would be somebody in the organization that might be interested in getting you guys trained up on how to get more clients from LinkedIn?

I tend to doubt it.

We have a whole corporate training department.

training infrastructure. We get, we get a lot of training on things like Sales Navigator and all that stuff.

Well, we have a 6-hour boot camp on how to leverage LinkedIn and we teach hacks that even LinkedIn employees hire us to teach them. Do you think maybe you can put me in touch with them?

They don't really focus on that.

They focus on more like Sales Navigator stuff. So—

Is it possible if you connected me with the corporate department and if they signed up, I would pay you 20%? I don't—

that's over in France. I work for a French telecom.

I have no relationships over there, so. No relationships at all.

It's not, it's not really a prospect for you. I look at it from my own ID stuff on the side, so.

Got it. Got it, Paul. Well, I appreciate that, Paul. Let's stay in touch. Do you want me to send you my LinkedIn profile so we can connect? Yeah, that'd be great. Okay. It's joelinkedin.com. I'm going to go ahead and send it to you via text message as well.

Cool. Thanks.

All right.

I appreciate you taking the time to speak to me and appreciate you being so kind over the phone. A lot of people are just like, You know, not— yeah, no worries.

I thought it was going to be worth your time.

I connect you, but I can promise you, you might find some—

you might find somebody that might need some of our solutions or some of our services, and I'm happy to pay you 20%. Sometimes people spend $100,000, $200,000 a year, so it could be very lucrative for just making an intro.

Oh yeah, no, for sure.

So take it, take a look at what we're up to and see what happens.

Okay, Paul, the formal affiliate program.

Yeah, yeah, it's on our website, eviai.com/affiliate. You can register for free. And we pay 20% for 3 years. So it's very— and our AI generates images and writes posts and does training and does auto-commenting on LinkedIn.

Creating content for people and making it—

And teaching them.

Actually build some authority.

Got it.

Yeah, it's kind of like an assistant. And we also have templates. All the messages I sent you via DM just now, I mean, not via DM, via text message, all came from Evvy AI. It came as a template. So you just push a button, it gets injected into the system. It's very fast.

Yeah, no, I get it.

Okay, cool.

Thank you.

All right. Thank you, Paul. We'll talk soon. Bye.

All right. Bye.

He's interested. He's interested, but he still needs to, you know, we need to play with it. So we need to nurture him. Schedule a follow-up. All right, let's move on. Let's keep that music flowing.

Crafty smoke, no jagged edge. Daily flow rising, that's my pledge.

Call to a voice message system.

519.

Yeah, fingers on the keys, tip tap tap tap, flow so clean, no mishap, no snap, template stacked like bricks on bricks, building up the day, gotta move real quick.

All right, this is Joe Apfelbaum, can you hear me?

I'm sorry, who is this?

Uh, this is Joe Apfelbaum from Evvy AI. I got notified that on September 13th you requested some information about our 99 LinkedIn hacks, and I want to know if you got them and maybe you wanted to come to our class. We're hosting a class tomorrow at 1:00 PM about how to leverage LinkedIn. There's no cost to the class. And, um, If you're interested in joining. Yeah, it's on Zoom. Yeah.

Okay. Could you email me, um, some information on that?

And I'm—

yeah, I'd love to join.

Yeah. I just sent you a text message. I can send you an email as well. Hang on. Let me, let me—

oh, you did?

Yeah. I'm gonna call it class tomorrow.

I just got it.

Um, okay, good. Yeah. I just sent it. Do you have a business or, um, are you looking for a job?

Um, I'm I'm kind of both. So I have a business. I don't know if I'm going to be able to— when I'm going to be able to like fully launch it.

Okay. Okay.

So I need a little bit of capital to actually build the app.

Oh, got it. You know, you know that I build apps sometimes using vibe coding. Do you know what that is? Vibe coding?

I haven't heard of that one.

Oh, if you just Google vibe coding, it's like all the rage right now.

Um, oh, that is— is that F-I-B-E?

No, V-I-B-E. Yeah, like, you know, like you just chill with the AI and you just vibe with it.

I'll look into that. So, um, I'm, I'm in the industry of learning and development, um, as you, as you know.

Yeah.

And, uh, one of the, one of the biggest problems out there, and I, I've run into this over and over and over again for over 18 years, is a lot of these big organizations that don't have necessarily a learning and development team in-house that knows what they're doing.

Yeah.

And they hire a vendor or contractor, you know, individual or group. They don't know how to start a project and they don't understand.

Yeah.

That they have to get, collect a whole bunch of information.

Correct.

To, you know, basically to start the project.

Yeah.

All the information that I would need as an instructional designer. And they just, they just don't know. And they don't know, a lot of times they don't know the scale and scope of a project and what it takes to do a project.

Yeah, yeah.

Oh, hey, a lot of times they just, uh, they just say, well, we just want some training courses or some PowerPoints or something.

Wow.

But a lot of them don't even know what a learning management system is.

An LMS like Kajabi or like Lightspeed?

Yeah, yeah, there's, um, there's a bunch out there like Cornerstone and stuff.

Yeah.

Um, but anyways, this, this app is really Um, I got the idea from the IRS's online tax filing website. Yeah, we're asked one question at a time, married or single, and based on your answer, it branches to something else.

Oh, I love that.

Yeah, so it just simply asks one question at a time, you know, starts with, you know, um, how many courses Like course titles are there.

Yeah.

And, you know, there's one question, then there's, you know, there's like a button for a dropdown, or, or they can type something in. And then, you know, maybe a button that sort of explains what the question is in more detail.

Yeah, yeah.

And the results would be Um, they can export it to like, uh, um, an Excel spreadsheet.

Oh, very nice. Like a CSV or whatever. You know, you can just literally go to gemini.com right now, gemini.google.com, explain what you want, say, make me a prototype in an HTML with JavaScript and CSS. And within literally 20 seconds, you'll have your prototype exactly that. It could spit it into an Excel. It asks you all the questions, all done for you.

Gemini, I'm gonna come to look.

Dude, dude, come to the webinar tomorrow because you're gonna learn a lot of really cool stuff. And, um, and if you need like me to handhold this for you, I have a team that can sit with you for 10 hours for like under $1,000. We'll sit with you for 10 hours and kind of just walk you through the whole process, help you host it, get it all done for you while we're on the phone with you. You know what I mean?

Yeah. So sweet.

Like an actual developer sitting with you on Zoom for 10 hours, helping you get it all up and running.

Okay.

You don't need funding these days.

I did some work for, um, this guy and he hasn't paid me yet, but what I want to do is as soon as he pays me the last invoice that I sent him almost a month ago, um, I'm just going to roll that money into, um, you know, any costs associated with developing.

Yeah.

Let's get it rolling. Let's get up and running and let's start selling it. That's the key. The key is let's get clients.

Oh yeah. Well, you know, if we use a subscription model, I, I mean, I can think of every single, you know, client I've ever worked for, including Department of Defense, Google, etc. A bunch of big banks, mortgage companies.

Charge them $20 a month, whatever, you know.

Yeah.

Something, something small like that.

Something nominal. You get, you get a handful of customers and all of a sudden, boom, it pays for itself.

Well, I've already got 2 customers that are very interested, and I just need to build it and, you know, they'll subscribe.

That's cool. Um, that's cool.

And one guy, um, what I want to do is, uh, um, instead of hiring a bunch of people, I want to set up a model to where, you know, a small company or an individual can, can, you know, sell it for and then take a percentage, right?

I mean, that's a great idea. That's like an affiliate program, right?

Exactly. Yeah.

Yeah. And you can, you can go to GetRewardful and sign up for an affiliate program in about 2 seconds. It doesn't cost money. I mean, they have paid plans, but they have a free plan too. So yeah, I would use a tool like GetRewardful to do that.

Would you do me a favor? And those 2 things that you just mentioned, I'm gonna send you—

I'm gonna send a text to you.

Yeah.

Yeah. Gemini and GetRewardful. Rewardful. Okay, I just sent it to you.

Sweet. Thank you so much. I appreciate it.

I love being— I love being a resource for people, helping people out and, and supporting them. My dream is to like help 1,000 entrepreneurs be able to take their life and their business to a whole new level. So like, that's, that's what I live for. That's literally what I do every day. I get on the phone. I've been fortunate enough to build a few multimillion-dollar businesses. So now I just get on the phone and help people. That's basically what I do. I spend money on ads and then I get on the phone and give people advice and people are loving it.

Yeah, it sounds fantastic.

Sometimes people are rude to me, but that's okay. That's, that's part of it, you know, like someone's like, ah, and they get all rude and everything and I'm like, okay, well, that's not me. That's you.

I don't know why they would do that, but yeah.

Yeah.

Sometimes, sometimes people are struggling with stuff and they let it out on strangers that call them when they requested the information to begin with.

Yeah, some people don't handle stress very well. And they don't, they don't like taking advice very well either. So yeah, but let's talk again.

I would love that. I would love that. I sent you a connection request on LinkedIn. So you can look at my profile and see what I'm up to and just kind of learn more about me. And if you can come to the class tomorrow, great, at 1 PM. I'll see you there. And if not, I'll see you at the next one.

Yeah, I'll try to be there for sure. I don't have anything going on tomorrow. I don't think I'll be here at the house. So All right, cool. I'll stop in.

Are you in Kentucky?

I mean, I'm in Texas.

In Texas. Okay. Oh yeah, Austin area or?

Yeah, just north of Austin, a little town called Leander.

Nice. Nice. Very, very cool. All right, let's be in touch.

All right, sounds great. Thanks for the call.

Thank you. Thank you, Ryan.

Bye.

That was epic. Epic. Epic, epic, epic. I love that call so much. For that, we have to celebrate. Let's put on some music. You ready? Let's put on some Daily Flow music. I need to make a celebration song.

Want it up, vote to decide. Vote on the vision, let the link untie. Curse a dance in a digital ballet. Dreams in the cloud, no rain in my way. Snakes whisper smooth, bassline hums. Shortcut a spark where the rhythm comes. No need to scroll, I fly on command. Daily flow, Magic like a wand in my hand. Hello.

This is Joe Apfelbaum. Can you hear me? Anatoly?

Yes.

Hi, this is Joe Apfelbaum. I was informed that on September 13th, you were interested in our 99 LinkedIn Hacks. You probably don't remember. Do you remember sending information that you wanted to learn about LinkedIn? Do you have a business or are you looking for a job? What's your story?

Looking for a job.

You're looking for a job?

Okay, cool.

What type of job are you looking for?

Let's hit play again with some daily flow here.

I prepared something called the DA Flow on LinkedIn. It has a series of 10 templates you can use daily, and I teach you how to add keyboard shortcuts to move fast daily. Wanna Here are some ten ideas for LinkedIn DM templates. When someone visits your profile, this means they are interested. When it's someone's birthday, this means they are approachable. When someone has a promotion at work, when someone is celebrating an anniversary, this means they are established.

Hello? Uh, no answer. Resume. All right, I'm gonna stop calling.

Um, why?

Close dial. I'm gonna close the dialer and stop calling. Why am I stopping to call? Because, because, because my team is telling me I have a call now. And, um, and yeah, I'm gonna hop on a call. So it was great chatting with you guys today. I hope you enjoyed it. We were on the phone for God knows how long. Let's see how long we were on the phone. We were on the phone for an hour. You guys watched me do my magic, and hopefully you enjoyed the magical magic of business growth happening. Yo, the business growth. Let's see, most recent. Watching you in real time shows how much is possible AI puts at our fingertips. I'm gonna say yes, yes, yes, yes. I love the music. I think it might be AI generated. Yes. Where did you create it?

Suno.

Let's see what else people are saying over here. Well, that explains a lot. I once bombed the project thinking I could wing it with just a few images. Turns out I had no clue. Right, lol. Uh, watching you from my phone. I'm gonna say boom. All right, this was fun, ladies and gents. Appreciate you watching live.
