The self-acclaimed #1 online marketing tool ‘Mailchimp’, that has literally been able to be connected to nearly every electronic tool and app in existence, to whatever operating system around, and that was generous enough to offer a ‘low key’ free plan for poor little start-up businesses and authors with low-incomes and low-sales, and in…

Shifting $677m from the banks to the people, every year, forever

I'll be in TUCSON, AZ from November 8-10: I'm the GUEST OF HONOR at the TUSCON SCIENCE FICTION CONVENTION.

"Switching costs" are one of the great underappreciated evils in our world: the more it costs you to change from one product or service to another, the worse the vendor, provider, or service you're using today can treat you without risking your business.

Businesses set out to keep switching costs as high as possible. Literally. Mark Zuckerberg's capos send him memos chortling about how Facebook's new photos feature will punish anyone who leaves for a rival service with the loss of all their family photos – meaning Zuck can torment those users for profit and they'll still stick around so long as the abuse is less bad than the loss of all their cherished memories:

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/08/facebooks-secret-war-switching-costs

It's often hard to quantify switching costs. We can tell when they're high, say, if your landlord ties your internet service to your lease (splitting the profits with a shitty ISP that overcharges and underdelivers), the switching cost of getting a new internet provider is the cost of moving house. We can tell when they're low, too: you can switch from one podcatcher program to another just by exporting your list of subscriptions from the old one and importing it into the new one:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/10/16/keep-it-really-simple-stupid/#read-receipts-are-you-kidding-me-seriously-fuck-that-noise

But sometimes, economists can get a rough idea of the dollar value of high switching costs. For example, a group of economists working for the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau calculated that the hassle of changing banks is costing Americans at least $677m per year (see page 526):

https://files.consumerfinance.gov/f/documents/cfpb_personal-financial-data-rights-final-rule_2024-10.pdf

The CFPB economists used a very conservative methodology, so the number is likely higher, but let's stick with that figure for now. The switching costs of changing banks – determining which bank has the best deal for you, then transfering over your account histories, cards, payees, and automated bill payments – are costing everyday Americans more than half a billion dollars, every year.

Now, the CFPB wasn't gathering this data just to make you mad. They wanted to do something about all this money – to find a way to lower switching costs, and, in so doing, transfer all that money from bank shareholders and executives to the American public.

And that's just what they did. A newly finalized Personal Financial Data Rights rule will allow you to authorize third parties – other banks, comparison shopping sites, brokers, anyone who offers you a better deal, or help you find one – to request your account data from your bank. Your bank will be required to provide that data.

I loved this rule when they first proposed it:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/06/10/getting-things-done/#deliverism

And I like the final rule even better. They've really nailed this one, even down to the fine-grained details where interop wonks like me get very deep into the weeds. For example, a thorny problem with interop rules like this one is "who gets to decide how the interoperability works?" Where will the data-formats come from? How will we know they're fit for purpose?

This is a super-hard problem. If we put the monopolies whose power we're trying to undermine in charge of this, they can easily cheat by delivering data in uselessly obfuscated formats. For example, when I used California's privacy law to force Mailchimp to provide list of all the mailing lists I've been signed up for without my permission, they sent me thousands of folders containing more than 5,900 spreadsheets listing their internal serial numbers for the lists I'm on, with no way to find out what these lists are called or how to get off of them:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/07/22/degoogled/#kafka-as-a-service

So if we're not going to let the companies decide on data formats, who should be in charge of this? One possibility is to require the use of a standard, but again, which standard? We can ask a standards body to make a new standard, which they're often very good at, but not when the stakes are high like this. Standards bodies are very weak institutions that large companies are very good at capturing:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/04/30/weak-institutions/

Here's how the CFPB solved this: they listed out the characteristics of a good standards body, listed out the data types that the standard would have to encompass, and then told banks that so long as they used a standard from a good standards body that covered all the data-types, they'd be in the clear.

Once the rule is in effect, you'll be able to go to a comparison shopping site and authorize it to go to your bank for your transaction history, and then tell you which bank – out of all the banks in America – will pay you the most for your deposits and charge you the least for your debts. Then, after you open a new account, you can authorize the new bank to go back to your old bank and get all your data: payees, scheduled payments, payment history, all of it. Switching banks will be as easy as switching mobile phone carriers – just a few clicks and a few minutes' work to get your old number working on a phone with a new provider.

This will save Americans at least $677 million, every year. Which is to say, it will cost the banks at least $670 million every year.

Naturally, America's largest banks are suing to block the rule:

https://www.americanbanker.com/news/cfpbs-open-banking-rule-faces-suit-from-bank-policy-institute

Of course, the banks claim that they're only suing to protect you, and the $677m annual transfer from their investors to the public has nothing to do with it. The banks claim to be worried about bank-fraud, which is a real thing that we should be worried about. They say that an interoperability rule could make it easier for scammers to get at your data and even transfer your account to a sleazy fly-by-night operation without your consent. This is also true!

It is obviously true that a bad interop rule would be bad. But it doesn't follow that every interop rule is bad, or that it's impossible to make a good one. The CFPB has made a very good one.

For starters, you can't just authorize anyone to get your data. Eligible third parties have to meet stringent criteria and vetting. These third parties are only allowed to ask for the narrowest slice of your data needed to perform the task you've set for them. They aren't allowed to use that data for anything else, and as soon as they've finished, they must delete your data. You can also revoke their access to your data at any time, for any reason, with one click – none of this "call a customer service rep and wait on hold" nonsense.

What's more, if your bank has any doubts about a request for your data, they are empowered to (temporarily) refuse to provide it, until they confirm with you that everything is on the up-and-up.

I wrote about the lawsuit this week for @eff@mastodon.social's Deeplinks blog:

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/10/no-matter-what-bank-says-its-your-money-your-data-and-your-choice

In that article, I point out the tedious, obvious ruses of securitywashing and privacywashing, where a company insists that its most abusive, exploitative, invasive conduct can't be challenged because that would expose their customers to security and privacy risks. This is such bullshit.

It's bullshit when printer companies say they can't let you use third party ink – for your own good:

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/01/hp-ceo-blocking-third-party-ink-from-printers-fights-viruses/

It's bullshit when car companies say they can't let you use third party mechanics – for your own good:

https://pluralistic.net/2020/09/03/rip-david-graeber/#rolling-surveillance-platforms

It's bullshit when Apple says they can't let you use third party app stores – for your own good:

https://www.eff.org/document/letter-bruce-schneier-senate-judiciary-regarding-app-store-security

It's bullshit when Facebook says you can't independently monitor the paid disinformation in your feed – for your own good:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/08/05/comprehensive-sex-ed/#quis-custodiet-ipsos-zuck

And it's bullshit when the banks say you can't change to a bank that charges you less, and pays you more – for your own good.

CFPB boss Rohit Chopra is part of a cohort of Biden enforcers who've hit upon a devastatingly effective tactic for fighting corporate power: they read the law and found out what they're allowed to do, and then did it:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/10/23/getting-stuff-done/#praxis

The CFPB was created in 2010 with the passage of the Consumer Financial Protection Act, which specifically empowers the CFPB to make this kind of data-sharing rule. Back when the CFPA was in Congress, the banks howled about this rule, whining that they were being forced to share their data with their competitors.

But your account data isn't your bank's data. It's your data. And the CFPB is gonna let you have it, and they're gonna save you and your fellow Americans at least $677m/year – forever.

A internet site is your 24/7 digital storefront. It should be:

Mobile-friendly and fast

Easy to navigate

Facebook & Instagram: Great for promotions, memories, and visible content

LinkedIn: Best for B2B organizations

Statements I’ve heard recently:

"I keep getting errors from my friend's Yahoo email. Tell her to fix it!" (hint: Yahoo was refusing the person’s email because they didn’t have it set up right…the problem was not on the receiving end, but on the sending end)

"Why is MailChimp telling me to do something? What do I DOOOO?" (MailChimp was spitting out alphabet soup… read on to translate)

"MailerLite just changed everything!" (Yep. MailerLite had to release a new version in order to cope.)

As the resident geek to a herd of authors, I've heard a ton of this over the last month, combined with a lot of existential dread.

A STORY OF HOW I BECAME A SUCCESSFUL AFFILIATE MARKETTER

(SOMETHING YOU MUST LEARN)

Click here

Hello there! Let me take a moment to share my journey with you—how I went from being a complete beginner to where I am today as a successful affiliate marketer.

When I first stumbled upon affiliate marketing, I was skeptical. The idea of earning money online, from the comfort of my home, sounded too good to be true. But I was tired of my 9-to-5 grind and wanted something different—something that could give me the freedom and financial independence I was dreaming of. So, I decided to dive in, despite not knowing much about the industry.

Click here

In the beginning, it was tough. I remember spending hours on Google, learning everything I could about affiliate marketing. I read articles, watched videos, and joined forums. I tried my hand at a few affiliate programs but didn’t see the results I hoped for at first. It felt like I was doing everything right, but nothing was clicking.

Then came the turning point. I realized I wasn’t focusing enough on the right strategies. So, I doubled down on learning and took my training seriously. I started to focus on building my niche, creating valuable content, and understanding the psychology of my target audience. Slowly but surely, my efforts began to pay off. My commissions started coming in, and I could see the potential affiliate marketing had to offer.

Click here

Now, as someone who's been in this game for several years, let me share some tips to help you avoid the mistakes I made and shorten your learning curve.

Choose the Right Niche One of the most important lessons I learned is that picking the right niche is crucial. It’s not just about what you’re passionate about, but also about finding a market with demand, but not too saturated. It’s better to focus on a specific, smaller niche that you can dominate, rather than trying to compete in a broad and competitive market.

Understand Your Audience As an affiliate marketer, you're in the business of solving problems. The more you understand your audience—their pain points, desires, and struggles—the better you'll be at recommending products they need. Research your audience through surveys, reading reviews, and interacting with them to understand what they truly want.

Quality Content Over Quantity It’s not just about putting out a ton of content. The key is to create high-quality, value-packed content. Whether it’s blog posts, videos, or social media content, your goal should be to educate and provide value. When you do this, trust and authority follow.

Leverage Multiple Traffic Sources While SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is great for organic traffic, I learned early on that relying solely on Google isn’t wise. I diversified my traffic sources—social media, paid ads, email marketing, and even YouTube. More traffic means more potential conversions.

Use the Right Tools Now, tools are a game changer. When I started, I didn’t realize how important they were. There are essential tools that can streamline your affiliate marketing efforts, including:

Email Marketing Tools: Platforms like ConvertKit or MailChimp help you build an email list and automate your email marketing campaigns.

Landing Page Builders: Tools like Leadpages or ClickFunnels let you create high-converting landing pages without needing to code.

SEO Tools: Ahrefs and SEMrush are great for keyword research and competitor analysis.

Analytics: Google Analytics is crucial to understanding your audience and optimizing your content for better results.

Consistency Is Key Success doesn’t happen overnight. In fact, it can take months or even years before you start seeing significant results. The key is consistency—continue learning, experimenting, and improving every single day. Keep a long-term perspective, and you’ll get there.

Learn From Others One of the best things I did was to surround myself with successful affiliate marketers. I joined online communities, attended webinars, and learned from others who were already where I wanted to be. Collaboration and learning from others can dramatically accelerate your growth.

So, if you’re just starting your affiliate marketing journey, don’t get discouraged. It’s going to take time, effort, and dedication, but the rewards are worth it. Focus on continuous learning, invest in the right tools, and stay committed to your goals.

I’m living proof that anyone can go from beginner to master with the right mindset and strategies. Take action today, and soon, you’ll be sharing your own success story!

Good luck, and remember, consistency and perseverance will get you there!

Mailing List

I've finally done what every author advice column says to do and created a mailing list. I used Mailchimp because it doesn't have Substack's Nazi problem and I figure that if I ever get so many subscribers I'll need to pay for it I'll be making enough money to afford the accounts. https://joel-kreissmans-writing.mailchimpsites.com/

Simplify Data Integration: WPForms to Any API Made Easy

In today’s digital ecosystem, capturing and managing user data efficiently is more crucial than ever. Whether you're a marketer looking to automate lead management or a developer aiming to streamline workflows, integrating your contact forms with third-party applications is a must. WPForms, one of WordPress's most popular form builders, offers powerful features, and when paired with the right plugin, it can become a robust data automation tool. One such tool is the "Connect WPForm to Any API" plugin—a no-code solution that simplifies form-to-API integration.

This blog will walk you through why integrating WPForms with external APIs matters, how the plugin works, and how to set it up effectively.

Why WPForms to API Integration Matters

Modern businesses rely on a stack of tools—CRMs, email marketing platforms, payment gateways, helpdesk software, and more. Data captured via forms often needs to flow into these platforms instantly. Manual data entry is inefficient, error-prone, and counterproductive in an era of automation.

Here are a few real-world examples:

Marketing: Send lead data from a landing page to Mailchimp or HubSpot.

Sales: Route contact requests directly to Salesforce.

Support: Create helpdesk tickets from contact form submissions.

Custom Workflows: Trigger webhook-based workflows in tools like Zapier or Make.

Integrating WPForms with any REST API helps eliminate bottlenecks, ensuring data flows automatically and securely.

Introducing the "Connect WPForm to Any API" Plugin

The "Connect WPForm to Any API" plugin is a powerful and user-friendly solution for WordPress users who want to connect WPForms with virtually any third-party service. Whether you want to push form data to a CRM, an internal database, or a marketing tool, this plugin makes the process seamless.

Key Features:

No-Code Interface: Easily configure API connections without writing a single line of code.

Custom Headers: Add authentication or custom headers like Bearer tokens or API keys.

Flexible Payload: Customize the JSON structure and map form fields accordingly.

Support for REST APIs: Works with most RESTful services, including Zapier, Mailchimp, Salesforce, and more.

Multiple API Actions: Supports triggering multiple APIs from a single form submission.

Advanced Debugging: Helps identify and fix integration issues quickly.

How It Works: A Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Install and Activate the Plugin

Navigate to your WordPress dashboard, go to Plugins > Add New, and search for "Connect WPForm to Any API." Install and activate it.

Step 2: Create or Edit a WPForm

Using WPForms, either create a new form or edit an existing one. Make sure all the necessary fields (name, email, message, etc.) are included.

Step 3: Configure API Integration

Once your form is ready, go to the form settings tab and click on "Send to API". Here, you’ll configure the following:

API Endpoint URL: The destination where form data will be sent.

HTTP Method: Typically POST, but GET, PUT, and DELETE are also supported.

Headers: Include any required authentication (e.g., Authorization: Bearer token123).

Payload Structure: Map WPForm fields to JSON keys. Use smart tags to dynamically populate field values.

Example JSON Payload:

{

  "name": "{field_id="1"}",

  "email": "{field_id="2"}",

  "message": "{field_id="3"}"

}

Step 4: Test Your Integration

Submit a test entry through the WPForm. Use the plugin’s debug console to verify if the API call was successful. If errors occur, the debug logs will provide helpful insights.

Common Use Cases

1. Connect to a CRM (e.g., Salesforce, HubSpot)

Automatically add leads to your CRM when someone submits a contact or signup form.

2. Trigger Webhooks (e.g., Zapier, Make)

Send WPForm data to automation platforms and connect with thousands of apps.

3. Create Support Tickets

Forward customer queries to helpdesk software like Freshdesk or Zendesk.

4. Store Data in External Databases

Push form submissions to custom back-end systems for advanced reporting or workflows.

Tips for Effective Integration

Use Smart Tags: WPForms offers dynamic tags (like {user_ip} or {date}) for greater flexibility.

Secure Your API: Always use HTTPS endpoints and secure tokens or keys.

Handle Errors Gracefully: Set up fallback actions or notifications if the API fails.

Test Thoroughly: Before going live, test with different inputs to ensure robustness.

SEO Benefits of Using API-Integrated Forms

From an SEO perspective, a better user experience translates to improved engagement metrics. Forms that work smoothly and provide instant feedback are more likely to be completed, thus reducing bounce rates and increasing conversions.

Additionally, API-integrated forms enable faster lead response times, which can improve your sales funnel performance and lead nurturing capabilities.

Conclusion

Integrating WPForms with external APIs doesn’t have to be a daunting task. With the "Connect WPForm to Any API" plugin, you can simplify your data workflows, eliminate manual processes, and connect your WordPress site to the broader digital ecosystem effortlessly.

Whether you're a solo entrepreneur, a marketer, or a developer, this plugin empowers you to automate, streamline, and scale your business processes. Say goodbye to copy-paste data entry and hello to a fully automated form pipeline.
