some basic tips for getting a job in this horrible market
hi all -- long story short, as many of you know, i just finished a three+ month job search after being laid off. here's what i learned:
Your resume should be your accomplishments, not your tasks. When I started searching, my bullet points in my resume were things like "used x software" or "wrote x content." Your resume should be you bragging. EX: "I used x software to turn around 100 deliverables a month," "I managed [x amount] sales associates and was named highest commission earner x months in a row." These don't have to be lifechanging things or massive projects -- any metric that demonstrates your capabilities well can do the job.
Make sure your resume is ATS optimized. Most jobs/companies use automated resume processing, and lots of great people get rejected this way. If you're getting rejection emails on Sunday morning or in the middle of the night, these are probably auto-rejections. ATS is the automatic system that sifts through resumes -- you can find free ATS-optimized templates online, I got min through resume.com. Do NOT use fancy graphics, headshots, any extraneous info. Use sites like jobscan to see if your resume is able to be parsed by an auto resume processor.
Use numbers. Make sure your resume has lots of numbers indicating your skills. "I helped my franchise achieve X% of revenue growth," "I drove x amount of deliveries daily." Any impressive numerical amounts are useful. If your company is tight-lipped about numbers, go to press releases. Ex: an app I did a considerable about of work for generated a lot of money that my company disclosed, so I put down that i contributed to that revenue via my work.
Have a template cover letter. Cover letters can give you an advantage, but they're tedious. Take note of what qualities are most sought-after in your field/ideal role, and write a generic cover letter that applies to most of them. When applying, do minor tweaks such as including the company name or any unique qualifications. Be careful about typos and leaving in old tweaks!
Use the free month of LinkedIn Premium if you're on there. I got some results from cold DMing recruiters for jobs I was interested in, and Premium lets you do that freely. Remember to cancel at the end of the month!
If you're looking for remote work, here are some boards I used: Remote.co, Otta, Remote Rocketship, Swooped, Best Writing (writing-focused)

274 Palestinian lives don’t matter to the Biden administration
This week provided further evidence – if any were lacking — that anti-Palestinian bias is simply a rule of American politics, and today maybe the leading rule.
Yesterday Israel killed 274 Palestinians and wounded hundreds more in Gaza’s Nuseirat refugee camp while freeing four Israeli hostages, and the U.S. promptly hailed the “rescue”. It is beyond question that this was an indiscriminate massacre, but Joe Biden saluted the Israeli action, and so did Secretary of State, without a mention of Palestinian lives.
“As if we needed more proof of how little this administration values Palestinian lives,” Khaled Elgindy wrote.
Mainstream reporters are horrified, but politely. After the last outrage earlier this week, when Israel killed dozens of Palestinians in a school, a reporter asked at the State Department: “People might find it very puzzling that you have the leverage of $3.8 billion of defense supplied to the Israelis per year, and you cannot compel this situation to change.”
The State Department said the U.S. has prodded Israel, and there’s been progress. “We have seen them [the Israelis] take improvements over time.”
So the U.S. keeps pouring money and weapons into Israel, and the Democratic base believes overwhelmingly that it’s a genocide, and Biden keeps saying he wants a ceasefire, but won’t apply any pressure to achieve it.
Republicans are at least more honest about their policy. Nikki Haley—a possible running mate for Trump —visited Israel at the end of May and wrote “Finish them” on an Israeli shell. Even as the death count in Gaza crossed 36,000.
This disdain for Palestinian life is consistent throughout the American establishment. Variety reported this week that a Hollywood marketing guru warned her employees that they should hit “pause on working with any celebrity or influencer or tastemaker posting against Israel.”
In an email, Ashlee Margolis said, “Anyone saying Israel is committing a ‘genocide’ is someone we will pause on working with, as that is simply not true…. While Jews are devastated by the loss of innocent lives in Gaza, we are feeling immense fear over the rising Jew Hatred all over the world.”
So again, Palestinian lives just don’t matter, next to Jewish fears.
This special degraded status for Palestinians has become an area of study for Palestinian intellectuals. Rabea Eghbariah, a human rights lawyer and doctoral student at Harvard, wrote a lengthy legal argument for a new term for the Palestinian condition.
“The law does not possess the language that we desperately need to accurately capture the totality of the Palestinian condition. From occupation to apartheid and genocide, the most commonly applied legal concepts rely on abstraction and analogy to reveal particular facets of subordination,” Eghbariah wrote –and offered the idea of “Nakba” as a legal concept to encompass that subordination.
But Eghbariah’s argument was censored, first by the Harvard Law Review, in “an unprecedented” move against a fully-edited essay, as the Intercept reported. Then, in an even more unprecedented fashion, by the Columbia Law Review this week, whose board of directors, which includes alumni with ties to the Biden administration, actually shut down the entire website when Eghbariah’s piece went up. (In the ensuing controversy, they have now restored the site).
In the eyes of the world, Palestinians only count when they are dying. That is what Qassam Muaddi wrote at our site this week, in an essay titled, “Against a world without Palestinians.”
Over the years, learning our Palestinian history, I began to notice that in order to be acknowledged by the rest of the world, we Palestinians always had to die…. It is as if in order to exist without justification, Palestinians had to intimately deal with death — they could master it, put up the best show of it, but they always had to die.
Qassam went on to explain that all that builds Palestinian character, including culture and stories, has no place in the world as it is. It must always be dismissed as terrorism or something less than human.
He actually ends that essay with hope, that the global discourse of Palestine is finally changing.
And the next day, another 274 Palestinians were killed, with full U.S. support. And Democrats wonder why democracy is in crisis.

any tips for getting into copywriting?
Learn the basics of copywriting & writing fundamentals/ marketing skills
Study the different types of copywriting (web/banners, email, social, ads, direct mail, sales letters, etc.)
Decide on your niche(s). Study everything you can about the industry, trends, latest news, customer demographics/psychographics, customer behavior, types of lifestyles/preferences they have, how they speak, where they spend the most time (IRL or digitally)
Craft an inspiration folder full of compelling copywriting examples you find when browsing on the web, going through your email, scrolling on social media, billboards, magazines, direct mail, etc.
Practice rewriting these examples with your own flair. Evaluate it, and keep practicing until you're proud of your copy.
Be as concise, clever, and convincing as possible. Keep your tone conversational (write like how you would speak), catchy, simple, and witty. Take out any extraneous or fluff words. Pepper in cultural references, puns, and relatable anecdotes understood by your target audience when relevant to your messaging/CTA
Create a portfolio with these mock-ups or projects done for family/friends (state they're spec work, not client-commissioned samples) or clips from an internship, school work, etc.
Craft a USP for yourself (including your niche, copywriting specialties, and the specific expertise you offer within your broader niche/service offerings that makes you unique)
Create an Upwork profile and share your services on LinkedIn (optimize both of these profiles)
Research local clients and small businesses within your niche. Also, take time to create a list of dream clients. Study their copy, brand voice, and keep tabs on updates regarding these companies' happenings
Learn the art of a cold email/LinkedIn pitch/Upwork proposal. Introduce yourself and your services to your prospect and share with them how you can fulfill a specific need they're seeking out (For local and smaller companies, feel free to offer suggestions. With more established companies, connect the dots as to why your experience/expertise is a great fit for their brand/target audience), and attach your work/link to your LinkedIn profile, website, and any other relevant hub for your professional services & content
Ask for referrals from friends/family to get started. If they're not a relative, get a testimonial to include in your portfolio
Follow up once if you haven't heard back from a prospective client after an initial pitch after a few days
Search for potential gigs on sites like Upwork/ProBlogger/People Per Hour
Once you land a gig, execute to the best of your ability and hand in your work by the deadline (strategies surrounding best business practices is a whole other post, lol)
Gather testimonials from all clients of successful projects. Confirm with clients whether you can use their work in your portfolio if you're unsure
Continue studying copywriting from books, courses, and everyday reading & living
Stay knowledgeable about advancements/updates in your field, keep updated on current events, and culture/social trends, and read a lot in general. Have interesting, multi-faceted conversations with others. Observe what makes people tick & remain engaged in a verbal dialogue or content

Hone your negotiation skills like a celestial diplomat, securing lower interest rates and crafting repayment plans that fit your budget like a cosmic glove. Make extra payments with the fervor of a moonbeam illuminating a dark cave, watching those numbers shrink faster than a vampire in sunlight. Embrace the sweet liberation of financial freedom, feeling the weight of debt lift like a cosmic spell dissolving, leaving you empowered and ready to conquer your financial Everest.
Savvy Investments: Research, compare, analyze – Virgo's energy is perfect for making informed investment decisions. Seek advice from trusted professionals and prioritize long-term stability over short-term gains.
Transform into a celestial stockbroker under the Virgo Moon! Put on your research goggles and analyze potential investments like a cosmic detective, comparing, contrasting, and sniffing out hidden risks. Consult trusted financial oracles for guidance, but ultimately, let your own Virgo-honed discernment be your compass. Prioritize long-term stability over fleeting trends, building a portfolio that grows like a well-tended celestial garden, not a gambler's dice roll. Embrace the slow and steady path, for under Virgo's meticulous gaze, informed investments blossom into financial freedom, one calculated decision at a time.
Unexpected Windfalls: Keep an eye out for unexpected opportunities to increase your income. Virgo favors those who put in the work, so your dedication could be rewarded with a bonus, a new client, or a lucky windfall.
Keep your antennae tuned to cosmic whispers under the Virgo Moon, for fortune often favors the prepared! Your dedication and sharpened skills could attract unexpected boons like a bonus shimmering out of thin air, a new client drawn by your newfound expertise, or a windfall landing softly as a celestial feather in your lap.

So, there you have it! The Moon in Virgo is your invitation to tidy up your biz, fine-tune your finances, and reap the rewards of your focused efforts. Remember, success is a marathon, not a sprint. Pace yourself, celebrate the small wins, and trust that under Virgo's meticulous guidance, your business and finances will shine.

for the self-publishing AMA: what resources did you use to learn about marketing a self-published book?
Resources for Marketing a Self-Published Book
Marketing can make or break your book! Here are some tips, and topics to further research.
Have a great cover. It truly is how people judge a book, and if your cover itself can help sell the book, that’s a win. This means eye-catching and unique while still fulfilling genre expectations.
Do a cover reveal to build up excitement
Add your book to Goodreads
Use ARC readers to receive reviews before and on launch day
Do a preorder campaign
Consider offering preorder incentives! Little freebies like stickers, bookmarks, early access to a few chapters, etc
Get on BookTok and Bookstagram and make use of IG Reels
Do a giveaway
Build your email list by using incentives. I give the first chapter away for free for every signup
Consider using Amazon ads once your book is up
And finally:
Never stop marketing. You may be done writing and your book may be out in the world, but this is anything but passive income. You need to keep being in love with your book and sharing that with the world!
Please ask any other questions you have, and let me know if you’d like me to expand on something!
Happy publishing!

STORY AT-A-GLANCE
Pfizer financed consumer, medical and civil rights organizations that lobbied for COVID jab mandates, thereby creating the false appearance of broad support
Moderna controls the vaccine debate and influences vaccine policy by working with a third party nongovernmental organization (NGO) called Public Good Projects (PGP), which monitors and censors online discussions about the COVID shots on Moderna’s behalf
Moderna has also retained an online monitoring company called Talkwalker that uses artificial intelligence to monitor and flag vaccine-related conversations across 150 million websites across the globe
Oftentimes the information flagged and/or censored as “misinformation” is factually accurate. It’s flagged/censored simply because it has the potential to create “vaccine hesitancy” or contradicts the “safe and effective” narrative
As vaccine resistance grows, Moderna is ratcheting up its surveillance operation, with a focus on coercive or forced vaccination policies. Documents show Moderna is tracking elected officials that object to vaccine mandates, as well as new laws that restrict vaccine mandates
In late April 2023, investigative journalist Lee Fang published evidence showing Pfizer had financed consumer, medical and civil rights organizations that lobbied for COVID jab mandates,1,2 thereby creating the false appearance of broad support.
Special interest groups paid by Pfizer to push for mandates and other coercive vaccine policies included the Chicago Urban league (which argued the jab mandate would benefit the Black community), the National Consumers League, the Immunization Partnership, the Advertising Council and a long list of universities and cancer, cardiology, rheumatology and medical science organizations.
The coercive measures and subsequent mandates — which have since been reversed by the courts — allowed Pfizer to become the first drug company in history to break $100 billion in annual sales.
Moderna Uses NGO to Censor Vaccine Discussions
In a November 20, 2023, Unherd article3 cowritten with journalist Jack Poulson, Fang turns his attention to Moderna, detailing what Moderna is doing to control the vaccine debate and influence vaccine policy.
Just like the federal government has been working with the Stanford Internet Observatory and NewsGuard to circumvent First Amendment free speech rights,4 Moderna has been secretly working with a third party nongovernmental organization (NGO) called Public Good Projects (PGP) to monitor and censor online discussions about the COVID shots — anything that might hurt Moderna’s bottom line.
According to documents seen by Fang and Poulson, PGP works closely with social media platforms, government agencies and news websites to identify and shut down "misinformation."
"With PGP, Moderna is monitoring a huge range of mainstream outlets, as well as unconventional ones, such as the Steam online gaming community and Medium," Fang and Poulson write.
PGP has had a particularly robust influence over Twitter. Before Elon Musk bought the company, PGP had backdoor access to Twitter’s data. It also helped Twitter formulate its pandemic-related speech policies. Internal Twitter emails show PGP’s misinformation team was in frequent contact with Todd O’Boyle,5 then-director of Twitter’s public policy team.
"Their intention, as we have gleaned from the emails exchanged, was not only to combat misinformation, but also to affect the content and tenor of public debate," Fang and Poulson write.
"While PGP identified some obvious falsehoods ... many tweets flagged as misinformation were simply critical of vaccine passports and other policies designed to coerce vaccination.
Moderna’s corporate intelligence and marketing team has worked closely with PGP again this year in its bid to shape the vaccine discourse as take-up drops off a cliff.
The partnership expanded again in October with an official training program, developed by Moderna and PGP, alongside the American Board of Internal Medicine, to help healthcare workers identify medical misinformation.
The online course, called the ‘Infodemic Training Program,’ represents an official partnership between biopharma and the NGO world. But none of PGP’s recent work with Moderna is disclosed on its website or in the Infodemic Training Program."
Moderna Uses AI to Flag and Erase Bad PR
Moderna has also retained an online monitoring company called Talkwalker that uses artificial intelligence to monitor and flag vaccine-related conversations across 150 million websites. And, as we’ve also seen with the federal government, the information flagged and/or censored on Moderna’s behalf is often factually accurate.
According to Fang and Poulson, none of the Moderna reports "makes any attempt to dispute the claims made. Rather the claims are automatically deemed ‘misinformation’ if they encourage vaccine hesitancy." They continue:6
"According to one report we have seen, Musk is deemed to be ‘high risk.’ Specifically, a Musk video that ridiculed media and government officials who claimed the Covid-19 vaccine was ‘100% effective’ against the virus.
The report did not identify any false statements, but warned that his video highlighted the fact that ‘deception by health authorities and health care providers during the pandemic’ would ‘lay the groundwork to sow distrust in credible sources on vaccine safety and effectiveness."
Basically, Moderna accurately points out that when health authorities lie and deceive, people stop trusting them. The answer Moderna comes up with, however, is not to quit lying and deceiving. Rather, it’s to bury those who point out that we’ve been lied to and deceived. That way, the liars can continue to deceive and still be held up as paragons of credibility.
What often flies under the banner of combating disinformation is ... nothing but corporate public relations, trying to spin public narratives in directions favorable to the corporation’s interests. ~ Aaron Kheriaty, fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center
What’s so particularly disturbing about this whole COVID jab debacle is that our government and health authorities deceived us in order to benefit Big Pharma. As Aaron Kheriaty, a bioethicist and fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, told Fang and Poulson:7
"What often flies under the banner of combating disinformation is ... nothing but corporate public relations, trying to spin public narratives in directions favorable to the corporation’s interests.
Does anyone really want to live under a regime where their social media feed is essentially curated by government or by multinational corporate interests that stand to profit, influencing opinion on these issues?"
Email correspondence also shows Moderna provided a network of 45,000 health care professionals with talking points and "advice on how to respond when vaccine misinformation goes mainstream."8 Meanwhile, no one has been keeping health care workers abreast on the latest data on COVID jab-related injuries and deaths, not even our public health agencies.
On the contrary, both the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have been caught hiding, manipulating and lying about those data, which when viewed with a clear eye show the COVID shots are the most dangerous medical products ever released to the public.

Intelligence Agencies Now Work With and for Big Pharma
Moderna’s information control network also includes an internal "global intelligence" division, run by Nikki Rutman, whose CV9 includes 19 years as an intelligence analyst for the FBI and other intel agencies. She’s also served as an adviser on terrorism to the director of National Intelligence, and as a counterintelligence analyst for the Defense Intelligence Agency.
Rutman joined Moderna in March 2022. During Operation Warp Speed, she worked at the FBI’s Boston office, which held weekly "cybersecurity" meetings with Moderna. Other former law enforcement agents have also joined the vaccine maker in the wake of Operation Warp Speed. As noted by Fang and Poulson:10
"The involvement of former law enforcement reflects a wider trend in the misinformation-space, as the Department of Homeland Security and FBI have increasingly leaned on social media platforms to shape content decisions as a national security issue."
Indeed, factually stating that the COVID shots have serious side effects and are killing people now earns you the label of "domestic terrorist," simply because such statements might make someone else think twice about getting the jab, and getting everyone injected is a top "national security" concern.
The whole thing is ludicrous, considering COVID-19 has a lethality on par with or lower than the seasonal influenza. There’s no medically valid reason to inject every man, woman and child, nor are there any valid national security reasons to do so since COVID-19 doesn’t have the ability to decimate the American population. On the contrary, the shots are doing that and most people can now see it.
Moderna Ratchets Up Surveillance in Face of Growing Resistance
However, even though COVID booster uptake has dropped into the low single digits and childhood vaccine exceptions are at an all-time high,11 indicating there’s a growing resistance to the entire concept of vaccinations, Moderna is not letting up.
Instead, it’s "ratcheting up its surveillance operation," according to Fang and Poulson. Its primary interest now is "anything relating to policies designed to coerce vaccination." For example, documents show Moderna is tracking elected officials who object to vaccine mandates, as well as new laws that restrict vaccine mandates. Fang and Poulson write:12
"‘Politicians attempting to ban COVID-19 mandates — or at least claiming to — signals growing resistance to COVID-19 mitigations,’ reads one of the Moderna alerts. Given the company avoided publicly commenting on the mandate debate, this is revelatory ...
[D]espite the growing backlash against social media censorship, the network of fact-checking nonprofits has grown at an industrial pace, providing opaque opportunities for private and public interests to take subtle control over the public discourse.
Such sophistication in blending public-health messaging and corporate advertising should concern anyone with an interest in how government controls free speech. ‘This is an interesting peek behind the disinformation industry, what it actually does,’ said Kheriaty, the bioethicist.
‘It’s about controlling a narrative, controlling the flow of information, controlling how people think about public policy, like the vaccine mandate, and how people think about a particular product that a corporation is profiting from,’ he added. ‘It’s deeply disturbing.’"
Big Pharma PR Company Funds Biased Speech Police
Big Pharma is also manipulating and censoring public discourse via another third party — the PR firm Publicis. The Publicis Groupe is one of the world’s largest communications groups.13 It represents most major drug companies and tech firms. Publicis is a partner14 of and the largest corporate investor in NewsGuard,15 which rates websites on criteria of credibility and trustworthiness, ostensibly to guide viewers to the "most reliable" sources of news and information.
NewsGuard has influential connections to The Paley Center for Media, which is composed of every major media in the world.16 NewsGuard is also partnered with the U.S. State Department, the U.S. Department of Defense and the World Health Organization.17
Publicis, meanwhile, is partnered with Google,18,19 which allows it the ability to bury undesirable views that might hurt its clientele, and the World Economic Forum (WEF)20 that is leading the call for a "reset" of the global economy and a complete overhaul of our way of life.21
One of NewsGuard’s CEOs, Louis Gordon Crovitz, is also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), yet another key player behind The Great Reset. Since its inception, the CFR’s goal has been to undermine U.S. sovereignty and national independence to usher in an all-powerful one-world government.
Over time, it’s become quite clear that NewsGuard’s role in The Great Reset is not only to barricade unpopular truth and differences of opinion behind closed gates, but also to force alternative media out of business. They do that by rating sites as "fake news" and drying up ad revenue by putting them on the BrandGuard exclusion list that Publicis shares with all its advertising clients.22,23
Publishers such as myself, who are critical of the drug industry, have a particularly large target on our backs, even when the information we share is backed up by published research and expert analyses.
The fact that NewsGuard is funded by Publicis makes its low ratings of alternative health sites highly suspect. Basically, Publicis is using NewsGuard to blacklist competitors to Big Pharma (its clients) with the intent to bankrupt them. Conversely, NewsGuard props up those willing to unquestioningly regurgitate drug industry PR.
WebMD is but one example. In February 2021, WebMD and Medscape (a division of WebMD Health Corp.) joined HealthGuard’s VaxFacts campaign "to identify and counter misleading vaccine information."24
HealthGuard is the health- and medicine-specific version of NewsGuard.25 It makes you wonder how much Publicis might be paying WebMD — one of the largest health websites in the world — to "guard you" from anyone with a differing opinion about how to get and stay healthy.
Transparency Is the Answer
The sad reality is that those who disagree with the mainstream narrative have now become "terrorists" that must be eradicated, lest the plan for the global technocracy’s control over the population — body, mind and soul — get pushed off-track by an unwilling public.
The answer to this situation is transparency. We must expose the machinations that allow this agenda to be pushed forward. Part of that exposure is looking at the role big PR companies like Publicis play in this scheme.
Another part is exposing how the censorship industry is being restructured into a "middleware model" where "content curation" (censorship) is simply outsourced to third-party organizations. This way, a "legal" disinformation compliance market is created while governments and big industries alike can claim they have nothing to do with the control of information.
As previously reported, what we’re looking at is the emergence of organized corporate censorship where artificial intelligence will scour the internet for undesirable views, down to the least-read blog.26 Soon, the internet will be completely homogenized, and you simply won’t be able to find information that conflicts with or provides any nuance to the official narrative on a given topic.
To have any chance of thwarting this plan, we must continue to push back against any and all efforts to legalize, standardize and normalize censorship. To vocally object, to refuse using middleware like NewsGuard, and to boycott any company or organization that uses middleware or engages in censorship of any kind.

Hi Yili, I’ve recently been looking into affiliate marketing and I notice a lot of information about it is being advertised on Tiktok and Instagram where people have you comment or DM a code and to watch a video from this same guy on how to start. I’m a little skeptical because of this and it feels more like an MLM but I don’t know. Did you also start this way or did you find out about affiliate marketing in another way? Thanks!
Hi baby,
So, I did not learn affiliate marketing this way and to add to that- there are LOADS of ways to do affiliate marketing. I have had a ton of friends ask me about the type of posts you are talking about to learn how they work. Basically, you buy a program from someone- the ones I have seen everyone promoting teaches you how about affiliate marketing which basically falls into how to sell and market things/yourself (not sure what else they teach) I have never looked through any of the programs people are selling. But the people promoting them make money by selling those courses to others. I am not sure what the split is but it is a % of whatever the product cost. So they create their landing page, and get an affiliate code from the company that sells the program and so on and so fourth. Think of it as a referral commission.
There are different sales strategies and I don't really know what people are or aren't teaching in regards to that but it all goes back to the same thing, promoting someone's product and earning a specified percentage when people purchase from your link that you got from the website you bought the program from. The link is unique to you when you become an affiliate for them. Some people will do a free entry starter video to collect your email then will upsell you product via email. I think thats the example you mentioned in your question. Like I said, SO MANY WAYS to do it.
It is not an MLM. In an MLM a person earn money both by selling products and by recruiting new members to their team. The more people they recruit, and the more those recruits sell and recruit others, the higher the earnings potential. This creates pyramid structure where income is not just from sales but significantly from the recruitment of new members.
Affiliate marketers earn money by promoting other people’s or company’s products. They earn a commission for each sale or specific action (like a click or form submission) made through their unique affiliate link, which most people are using stan store. There's no recruitment involved.
If you are asking me if this is a good way to make money then yes. ESPECIALLY with tik tok. I have seen people that I know personally make a lot of money doing it. As I am typing this i'm asking myself why I don't make a program myself hahaha

The last section tho:
This challenge in narrowing down search results to chat responses in an AI interface has just been highlighted by Leipzig University; its research specifically looked at the quality of search results for product reviews and recommendations.
The paper, titled “Is Google Getting Worse? A Longitudinal Investigation of SEO Spam in Search Engines,” asks whether SPAM and SEO gamesmanship has a disproportionate impact on the quality of results filtering through.
“Many users of web search engines complain about the supposedly decreasing quality of search results… Evidence for this has always been anecdotal, yet it’s not unreasonable to think that popular online marketing strategies such as affiliate marketing incentivize the mass production of such content to maximize clicks.”
In short, the answer appears to be yes.
“Our findings suggest that all search engines have significant problems with highly optimized (affiliate) content… more than is representative for the entire web.”
This is not specific to Google, of course, and the researchers also examined Bing and DuckDuckGo over the course of twelve months. Ironically, given Google’s focus on integrating generative AI and search, the researchers warn that this is a “situation that will surely worsen in the wake of generative AI.”
We have all become conditioned to judging the likely independence of search results as set out in our browsers, and we have learned to scan such results as today’s shop window equivalents. But in a world when you ask a chatbot “where’s the best place to buy a Samsung TV,” or “what’s the best pizza restaurant in Denver,” the format of your results will be very different. We all need to remember, it’s not really a chat.
The AI update coming to Google Messages is part of a trend, of course, and you can expect multiple such AI add-ons to come thick and fast, especially with Google driving much of the momentum. This should be good news for Android users.
We have just seen an official Chrome announcement on the introduction of three new helpful AI releases making their way into beta. Automated tab management and theme creation sound good, but it’s the Help me Write feature within Chrome that’s likely to be the most useful, especially on an Android mobile device.
We have also seen GMail’s own Help Me Write feature adapted to combine AI and voice, as spotted by TheSPAndroid, “Gmail's ‘Help Me Write’ can help you draft emails with ease and definitely can save you some time. Currently the functionality is available on both web and apps, but you have to write the email prompt yourself using the keyboard. On the Gmail app for Android, Google is working on a feature which will let you draft emails with voice [prompts].”
And there was the earlier news that Android Auto will use AI to intelligently filter information in and out of the system, while you keep your hands on the steering wheel and your eyes on the road.
Many positives, clearly, but that core risk in narrowing search results isn’t the only word of warning here. Google Messages chats with Bard are not secured by end-to-end encryption, and Google (being Google) will store your data and use it to improve its algorithms. Just as with other such models, be careful what you ask.
No news yet on timing, but in all likelihood it isn’t far away. According to Bard, “Google has not yet announced an official release date for Bard in Google Messages, but it is expected to be available sometime in 2024.”

hey all! mejo back (after disappeared in the void for a while) with some language studying advice! (and as usual, take it or leave it, what works for one does necessarily work for another)
If you don’t know where to start, and you’re a beginner. I suggest: write down what you want to DO with the language. What do you want to be able to do in the language you decided to learn. This list will help you figure out your long term goals. Once you know your long term goals, you can figure out the shorter 1 month long and 6 month long to do in order to work toward those long term goals. And it’s okay to have 5 year and 10 year long term goals! It’s okay to aim for one thing now like “play my favorite video game in it’s original japanese” or “read my favorite author from the 1500s in the original language” or “be able to have a conversation about the current housing market,” and then later decide you’d also like to add “Be able to write a research paper without errors” or “be able to write a novel in my target language for teen reading level and above” or “be able to make youtube videos about my specific interests in the target language” or whatever.  My first long term goal with french was “learn to read enough to understand this book from the 1930s I found in a thrift store.” Then the next one was “be able to read these 1800s french history books I found that look interesting.” Then the next one is “learn to speak well enough to do job interviews” and I guarantee after that it will probably be “learn to write emails and essays without errors so I could feasibly work in french.” Just... really... setting long term goals will help so much, if you haven’t decided on any yet. First, if you write a goal you’re more likely to achieve it! Second, it’s a lot easier to figure out WHAT you need to study to “read X specific book with specific vocabulary” than it is to figure out what you need to study to “become fluent” and every vague thing that may entail. Even if your goal is “fluency” you need to know what that means to YOU. And what does it mean first, as in the first goals you’ll work on. Because your first goal is probably “have a conversation about my job and life and interests” before the later goal of “be able to discuss my tax bracket and explain to someone how to fill out this tax form.” (Unless you work as an interpreter for tax preparation, in which case you may well NEED to learn to explain taxes way before you learn how to say you did X as a kid and love to do Y hobby in your free time). Each goal will take some similar kinds of prep work as far as what you study, and some unique stuff you need to study. To accomplish both goals you need to learn a LOT of vocabulary, and grammar. But you’ll have to decide which vocabulary to learn first, which activities to practice doing first, and your long term goals you care about Right Now are the ones that will decide those things.
If you don’t know what study material to use, and I can’t emphasize this enough, please use a free one. And hey if you DO really like some paid resource? Buy one. Just one. And then use it until you have completed the entire thing. If you’re a perfectionist like me, or just indecisive, it’s easy to debate between 12 different paid learning programs and courses, or to buy several and finish using none. You can ignore this advice once you’ve gotten to say B1 (intermediate) level and have learned enough to figure out how you personally learn, what works for you, and what you need. But if you have no clue at all what you need in order to learn? Then just do something and STICK with it. Everything you need to learn a language already exists for free and is available. If you want a paid program that’s fine, it may be nice to follow a strict well designed course. Either way, just pick something and stick with it until it’s finished. Don’t spend $1000 on 5 different things. If you spend money later, once you’ve made progress, then you’ll have a good idea of WHAT study materials and study resource structures work well for you and you’ll be more likely to use those materials fully to make them worth the cost. I mean you can spend tons of money cause in the end do what you want. But if you want to succeed and make progress in learning a language, I promise even if you spend no money you can make as much progress as anyone else. So deciding to spend money once you know what you personally want and need could save some money, over spending right away before you’ve stuck with any study plan for several months and explored what works or doesn’t work for you.
You learn a language by simply: studying some NEW stuff regularly, and practicing the stuff you studied before. As long as you are regularly learning some new things, you will keep increasing your knowledge of the language, and you will make progress. For well rounded skills, you eventually want study all 4 areas reading, speaking, writing, reading. This will involve first, learning new stuff. So for example in reading it would involve learning new words regularly, and learning new grammar patterns. And second, reviewing that stuff by practicing understanding it. For reading that would involve reading stuff that uses words and grammar you studied. You’ll do this process, however you want (because there’s SO many ways to study and then practice), over and over. Your study plans will all boil down to doing this. Make sure you do a bit of both studying NEW things regularly, and practicing what you studied, and you’ll make good progress. For me I’ve noticed progress stall when I stop challenging myself and avoid learning NEW things, and I’ve seen some SRS anki lovers stall progress when they avoid practicing understanding things they studied (such as avoiding having conversations or avoiding reading). You can expose yourself to NEW stuff in a million ways, and practice in a million ways. If you use a textbook, then you might study new things by reading each new chapter and it’s new vocabulary list and grammar points. Then practice them by reading the excerpts, doing the conversational exercises with the vocabulary lists, and doing listening exercises with the words/grammar in the audio. If you use a tutor, then a tutor might regularly use new words and you ask “what does that word mean?” over and over, then you practice by using the word in your own sentences back to the tutor. If you use books, then you might look up new words every time you run into them, and practice understanding them each time you run into those words again. You can adapt to what’s enjoyable for you. So if you hate reading but like watching shows, you might do this with shows instead of reading materials. If you hate talking like with a tutor but like writing, then you might write journal entries and look up new words you want to be able to write about then practice writing with them. Now eventually, yeah, you’ll have to practice writing, reading, speaking, and listening if you want to be fluent in all 4 areas. But if your goal is “read this X novel” then you can cater your study plan to mostly reading activities for a while. 
As long as you’re regularly studying some new things, and practicing what you’ve studied before, then the biggest factor in progress will simply be hours you’ve studied. So the goal is to do whatever you can to study regularly, to add to the total amount of study time. One day, hundreds or thousands of hours later, you’ll be as fluent as you want. All you have to do is keep studying for enough hours, and you’ll reach your goals. So I suggest for your peace of mind, to stop caring what the “best” study method or resource is. I mean, look into it if you’re curious and interested in that kind of thing (I definitely am lol). But in the end, the best study methods/resources for you are WHATEVER you will KEEP doing. Learning a language is about studying consistently for enough hours to make the progress you want. So if you find a ‘great’ study method but you avoid doing it so you only do it 15 minutes once a week? It sucks. If you find a less popular study method, but you enjoy doing it and can easily do it 1 hour a day? Then it’s the best method FOR YOU. I know some people say they swear by textbooks, and textbooks DO work if you stick to them. But if you avoid them intensely then they won’t work for you. Some people LOVE SRS like anki, but if you avoid it or like me it takes 1 hour to study 10 little words? Then something else is going to suit you better. 
And again, regarding hours studied: you will not be fluent if you only study 100 hours in a year. Be realistic with yourself. Look up the “hours it will take to reach fluency” for your target language, you’ll find some estimates for how long it takes to reach roughly B2. Some are probably better or worse estimates. FSI’s estimates get thrown around a lot, and some people argue real language fluency takes 2 times as long as FSI gives since FSI assumes students study outside counted class hours. It doesn’t really matter too much for my point though. My general point is, if you’re an english speaker and study a language similar to english like French? Estimates tend to say 600 hours or more. If you’re an english speaker and study a language quite different from english like Chinese? Estimates tend to say 2200 hours or more. So what does this mean? It means if you’re studying a similar language, plan to spend hundreds of hours to see the progress you want. If you’re studying a language that’s quite different from what you already understand, plan to spend thousands of hours to see the progress you want. So if you’re an english speaker studying French do NOT feel bad if you spent 30 hours studying and still feel like a beginner, it’s normal! You may feel like a beginner for another few hundred hours, that’s okay, that’s normal. Make sure your expectations are reasonable. If you’re an english speaker and you’re studying japanese which is much different, don’t feel bad if you’ve spent 1000 hours studying the language and still can’t read a print novel! Or that novel is very slow to read through and requires you to constantly look up words. If you’ve only spent 600 hours on japanese, be nice to yourself if you still find trying to watch a show difficult! You’re a beginner in terms of hours studied! And then, on the flipside... if you studied French for say 500 hours and still struggle to follow a simple conversation on a tv show that’s like “I’m going to the store, do you want me to pick up anything for you? No that’s okay, have fun.” Then that’s a sign for you to focus on improving your listening skills, because they’re lower than you would probably expect them to be after 500 hours. Or that’s a sign you may need to change your study plan: perhaps (like me) you spent a lot of hours on reviewing stuff and very few hours on learning NEW stuff, and you need to alter that ratio a bit. The estimates might be very rough, but having a vague general idea of “its going to take me 800 hours to do what B2 (upper intermediate) scales say I should be able to” or “it’s going to take me 2000 hours” will help you manage your expectations and check your own progress is going how you want it to. If you’re learning japanese and only studying 1 hour a day, you have to be reasonable and understand it will take MORE YEARS to see progress than if you were studying french 1 hour per day. You’re not failing, you’re not necessarily doing anything wrong, it just takes more hours of japanese study to see equivalent amounts of progress you’d see in french. If you hate how many years its going to take, you can up your japanese study hours per day. But just know you are NOT failing or doing anything wrong if your japanese is still at a beginner level after 600 hours, when your french level was good enough to read novels at 600 hours. 
If you never made significant progress in studying a language before, then an initial hurdle may simply be figuring out how YOU learn a language. There’s many ways to figure out how you learn a language. I suggest you take a month or two and just search online about this and try out a few learning methods and figure out what works for you. For me, goal setting was a major thing that helps me learn. So for me I set some goal like “read a 300 unique word graded reader in chinese by month 3 (mandarin companion).” That was a clear short term goal that would work toward my long term goal of “be able to read webnovels.” That was a goal that would require a few study activities in 3 months: learning at least 300 common vocabulary words (and more if I can - I used some common chinese words memrise deck and cram studied, took about a month), learning some basic grammar (so reading some grammar guide summary online which i did for 2 weeks),  learn at least ~500 common hanzi (I found a book with hanzi and mnemonics and I’d read about a chapter a day and reread old chapters if I had time in a day, for a couple months). The first month I definitely spent most of it just looking up ways to learn hanzi, ways to study 500 words. I tried a word list (didn’t work for me), tried a few youtube lessons (too slow for me), tried a vocabulary book (too boring to focus on for me), and finally found what some guy did using memrise and copied him and just crammed (not the way memrise is supposed to be used lol) but cramming works for me. For hanzi I tried Heisig (did not work), tried anki (did not work for me), tried a different hanzi reference book (no mnemonics so didn’t work), then tried a book that had stories for hanzi meaning and pronunciation including tone ALL written so all i had to do was read a chapter for 1 hour every day and push through. That one worked. For grammar, I already knew I did well just reading through grammar guide summaries (from months of figuring out what worked back when I studied French). The second and third month, I stuck with the 3 things I’d found that worked. Then the third month, I tried to read the Graded Reader. I saw where I was successful, and where my skills were weak (things I’d need to add to studying in the future study plan). For me, taking a long term goal then figuring out a short term goal I can accomplish soon (or try to and see what aspects I didn’t work on well) helps me a lot. For me, I could break the short term goal down into specific study activities to prepare for it. Then I could try out the activities and see which worked and which didn’t (a lot did NOT work for me as you can see above). I do this process every time I make a short term study goal for the end of the month, except over time I clearly learned what works and does Not work for me. For example, one month I made a short term goal “do Listening Reading Method for a whole novel.” You might have seen my blog posts on that lol. I failed. I only got through 30 chapters instead of 106. I did not feel like doing the study activity daily, so some days I crammed 5 chapters then didn’t study again for a week. After a month, I learned that while I think Listening Reading Method is COOL, I just personally can not focus on it enough make it a regular study activity. I avoid it too much, which brings down my study time lower than if I’d spent the month doing stuff I could focus on easier (like watching a show or just reading on it’s own). And vice versa, sometimes I make a study plan like “listen to entire condensed audio of show this month, then see if at the end of this month a new audiobook chapter is easier for me to understand” and at the end of the month I realize I listened to 2 hours or more of audio a day, and easily fit it into my schedule. So maybe I learn “okay this study method is GREAT for me to do, I do it easily and I’ve made X progress and can understand a new audiobook chapter 30% more than I could before this month.” My point is... a lot of the hard work when you’re studying on your own is coming up with your own study plan and making sure it works for you, or changing it if the plan does not. You can avoid some of this hard work IF you use a pre-made study plan (like a textbook or college course, coursera free course, podcast, or even just copying the study resources and routine of someone else etc). But even if you use a pre made study plan, you’re probably going to have to try a few pre-made ones until one works well for you. So give yourself a couple months initially to just explore what’s working or not working for you. You want study activities you can do regularly (so not ones you avoid), that are exposing you regularly to new stuff to learn and practice of stuff you’ve studied, that are moving you closer to your long term goals. (For example a BIG goal for you is to speak to people, then reading novels and looking up words may not be as useful a study activity as talking to a tutor 4 times a week. You might do both study activities, but you might find one more useful for the bulk of your time).
This is related to the ‘hours spent to learn a language’ thing. Look up CEFR (A1 lower beginner, A2 upper beginner, B1 lower intermediate, B2 upper intermediate, C1 lower advanced, C2 upper advanced) and read the descriptions of what people generally can do at each language proficiency level. If your language has a different popular grading scale for language level, look it up (JLPT for japanese, HSK for chinese) and read the descriptions of what people can generally do at that language level. Just like ‘hours to learn a language estimates’ this may be generally useful but not super specifically critical. What I want you to focus on is generally, what should you be able to do as a beginner. Generally, what should you be able to do at the intermediate level etc. Then decide for yourself: how long do you want it to take you to get to the level of being able to do beginner level things? Intermediate level things? This is how you’ll decide how many hours a day you study. (I’m about to be REALLY rough estimating here so look up more if you want specific hour estimates for time it takes to get to X level in a specific language). If for example you’re studying French, and French takes 600 hours for ~B2, then make a guess it will take maybe half as long 300 hours to get past beginner level (A1-A2) stuff and start studying intermediate level stuff (B1-B2). As in, by 300 hours you should be able to do beginner stuff, and be able to START DOING and learning how to do intermediate stuff. So if you want to be done studying beginner stuff within a year? Then plan to study 300 hours or more your first year. And this is where it gets more important, in my opinion. When you pick a structured study method like Glossika, a college course, Pimsleur, Coffee Break French podcast, ANYTHING... look at the course contents description and see how much it teaches. Does it only teach beginner level stuff? Then if you use it, prepare to be DONE with it in 300 hours or less. I have wasted a lot of time using a beginner resource longer than I should have, by going through it slower than I intended to. If I’m spending 1000 hours on the first 500 words I’m studying in chinese, I messed up. HSK 4 (which is lets say for simplicity’s sake is ‘lower intermediate’ B1) is supposed to be around 1200-2000 words learned. So by 1000 hours of chinese study, I should have already learned that many words. If I’m still studying 500 beginner words, I am covering new material slower than I probably should be. For me personally this problem cropped up for me more when I A. used pre-made study resources (like Pimsleur and Assimil), B. got perfectionistic and started reviewing way too much instead of making sure I studied new things at least 50% of my study time. If you’re a beginner, please stop and think about this kind of stuff for a few minutes before buying any study program. Here’s what I like to (very roughly) use as my deciding factor: lower intermediate level usually expects learners to be familiar with at least 2000 common words, and to be able to start reading basic things (like texts of ‘how are you? what do you want for dinner’) and start being able to read simple stuff (like comics and novels for kids) and watch some shows (in genres about daily life and familiar topics) with some level of comprehension and the ability to follow the main idea if you pause to look some words up every few minutes. If you can do all that? You’re probably lower intermediate at least, or high upper beginner (A2) and will probably be intermediate level soon. If you are looking at a new language learning resource and you’re a beginner? Then you’re going to want to look for resources that will teach around 2000 common words or more, at LEAST basic past/present/future grammar. (And ideally some listening AND reading skills practice but sometimes both aren’t in one program). The Old Glossika programs tended to have 3000 sentences, probably a bit less unique words but still probably over 2000 unique words. So Old Glossika courses are fine for a beginner, they teach beginner level information. Your goal would be to get through the Old Glossika course in the amount of hours you’re guessing you’ll need to get to intermediate or less (for french it might be ~300 hours, for chinese it might be in ~1000 hours). If it’s taking you LONGER to get through the course, you’re probably procrastinating or its not clicking well with you so you’re struggling to learn from it. If you’re an intermediate learner? Old Glossika courses are going to mostly waste your time, because you likely know almost all of the content they teach. If you have weak listening skills (like me) then you may find glossika useful to practice listening (so practicing what you already studied), but it’s not a full course you’ll rely on alone to make progress. If you are a beginner, and you use Pimsleur (which last time I checked for like japanese had only 800 words), then you’re going to want to get through that course in less than 500 hours (if ~1000 hours is roughly half the time for intermediate B2 fluency, and 1000 hours is when you’ll want to have studied 2000 words already). And once you’re done with pimsleur, you’ll want to find a language learning resource to teach you the NEXT 1500 common words you need to learn. This kind of contemplating will also help you rule out “money wasting” programs for you. Rosetta Stone is... quite the thing... and when I used it, it would take me 1 hour to study 20 words. That was too slow a rate for me, since with reading I can study 50 new words in an hour AND review hundreds of words as I see them. So I prefer to read over using Rosetta Stone. Some very ‘cheap shot’ language learning resources will claim to ‘teach you to fluency’ and only teach 500 words. lmao. 2000 words is only starting to shift into intermediate skill level, and fluency is above that! so 500 words is not going to get you to fluency, that’s a lie lmao. Now... those 500 word programs may still be useful, if you’re using them shorter term and you’re a beginner who needed to learn them anyway and likes the resources teaching method. BUT I think where a lot of learners mess up, is they read that the course claims “teach to fluency” so they spend 2 years on that course. Because they were putting in those ‘600 hours for french fluency’ or whatever. But the actual course only had 500 words, so they’d never reach fluency using only the course. So after 2 years they feel miserable that they’re still beginners after completing the course that claimed fluency, and give up. Duolingo is probably the biggest app that causes this in learners (from what I’ve seen). Duolingo, for many of its courses, teaches 2000-3000 words. If you fully complete a duolingo course, it should put you at either A2 (upper beginner) or B1 (lower intermediate) in vocabulary. So how long does it take in a college course to cover 2000 words? 2 semesters, 1 class for A1, 1 class for A2. In college, you’d have learned 2000 words and started intermediate classes after 2 semesters. So if you’re using duolingo, and want to make progress just as fast? Then finish the duolingo course in less than a year. (We are ignoring how the classes would also teach writing, speaking, listening too, while duolingo is not going to be building those skills as much, but you get the general idea). LOTS of people spend 2-4 years on duolingo, then wonder why they’re still a beginner. That’s why. Because a person using some other resource (or self studying) probably already studied those 2000 common words within 1 year. You didn’t. Because you thought duolingo would teach to fluency, as the app sort of implies it will, so you took your time going through lessons assuming intermediate to advanced level skills is what you’d end with. Incorrect. At the completion of duolingo, you’ll be (at best) a lower intermediate level in the language you studied. If you’re going to use an app (or resource) like duolingo, look up how many words it actually teaches, and decide when you want to be through the lessons. Duolingo works fine if you study 1 hour a day, finish it in 6 months to a year, then go on to intermediate resources to study from. Some people on youtube who’ve shared success using duolingo tended to study like that. But if you study 5-15 minutes a day, like the app sort of encourages you to? then you are going to take many more days/months/years to get to intermediate since you’re doing less study time per day. First: no study method works “way faster” than another, except the study methods you can easily focus on and do versus the ones you can’t. So in the end anything you can do is going to be hours studied=progress. Duolingo takes just as long as reading and looking up words (if you can focus and easily do either activity), to make progress. If you spend 15 minutes a day on either you’ll make progress slow, if you spend an hour on either you’ll make progress faster. (It should be said, at least for me personally, I do like study methods that show MORE NEW STUFF per hour... so you can slightly increase progress rate if say like me reading you encounter 50 new words an hour, but in anki you can’t focus and only encounter 5 new words an hour). Second: check what a language learning resource actually covers. A lot will claim to teach you to fluency, but check what actual words/grammar/skills they teach. And then plan accordingly. Duolingo will only get you to A2/B1, so know you’ll need to make a plan to learn intermediate stuff when you’re done with it, and not to spend more time on it than you’d like to. Old Glossilka courses will only get you to B1 in listening, so plan to do other stuff for learning intermediate level stuff. Pimsleur (last time I checked) gets you only to A2 upper beginner (at best), so plan something else to teach the rest of the beginner stuff and move into intermediate stuff, do not expect pimsleur alone to get you to fluency. 
For the people that need to hear this: you’re allowed to study any way you want. You’re allowed to study the ‘traditional textbook and explicit grammar instruction way,’ the ‘comprehensible input’ way, a combination, or another way that you found/came up with. Truly just do WHATEVER works for you. Whatever gets you studying new stuff regularly, and practicing stuff you’ve already studied, WILL work. There’s absolutely endless debates about the right method for learning languages, and some people really stick tightly to one specific method (that works for them). You’re allowed to do that, and allowed to do it with the method other people around you aren’t doing even if they say your method ‘isn’t as good.’ You’re allowed to use several methods, at once, whatever you want and works for you! You’re allowed to use a method even if people say ‘it doesn’t work.’ Because honestly, in 300 hours, 600 hours, 1000 hours, you will sure KNOW if it worked or not. Based on if you’ve made improvements in what you can do in the language. I saw a guy who did 2000 memrise common word chinese cards, no hanzi study, read a bit of basic grammar, and then brute force read novels in Pleco. Worked for him. I saw one person who did NO preparation and just started brute force reading chinese webnovels with a click-translation tool, it worked for them (I could never do it lol i’d be exhausted, but that’s what worked for them). I saw one person who did Genki 1 textbook for japanese, then genuinely just watched anime with NO subtitles and no word lookups (they would rewatch episodes, watch episodes in english then again in japanese for context clues, etc) for like 2000 hours then passed the N2 listening test for JLPT. I saw one person who learned by Listening Reading Method for hundreds of hours (who can focus way better than I can lol). One person did a speaking/listening japanese class (so minimal kanji study), Genki (so like 1000 vocabulary words learned), then learned more words by watching japanese shows and using english subs to guess audio japanese word meanings (so yes... to the right person subs in your native language can be useful to language learning even though it’s against general advice). there’s some people who just brute force studied 10,000 sentences in anki then got tutors for speaking/writing practice who passed N1 JLPT tests in a few years. There’s Kato Lomb who learned a lot from reading novels and looking up words, guessing words from context. A lot of reading (my favorite method). There’s people who did amazing with audio flashcards (japaneseaudiolessons.com founder learned primarily that way, i do quite well with them too). Some people do great just going through a comprehensible input lesson plan and learning primarily IN context by doing (like Dreaming Spanish youtube, or the book French by the Nature Method I used to learn a lot of french). Some people do excellent in college/formal courses (they are designed to get through through beginner, intermediate, advanced, and capable of passing language level tests). Some people learn primarily by chatting with people, and preparing to chat (there’s a guy who made a youtube video “learn french in 30 days” and the title is clickbait of course, but the study plan was solid - it was 5+ hours a day of picking topics he could not speak on, looking up all unknown words and grammar and writing scripts, then video taping his speeches on those topics, watching the video and noting his errors or having a tutor watch and help him catch errors and correct them, practicing giving unscripted speeches on the topics and video taping and again checking for errors, then practicing conversations on the topics with language partners in free conversation... as you can see the study plan included learning new words and grammar, practicing speaking and writing and listening). You can make progress in a ton of different ways. Don’t feel you aren’t allowed just because some random person somewhere didn’t find it to be the right method/methods for Them.

PLR Products: What They Are and How They Can Benefit Your Business
Tumblr media
Hey there! Have you ever come across the term "PLR products" and wondered what it actually means? Well, you're not alone. In the world of digital marketing and online businesses, PLR products are a hot topic. In this article, we'll dive into the ins and outs of PLR products—what they are, how they work, and why they're so popular among entrepreneurs. So grab a cup of coffee and get ready to learn all about this exciting aspect of the online business world!
What are PLR Products?
Understanding PLR Products
Individuals or businesses can purchase and use PLR products, or Private Label Rights products, for their own purposes. This includes articles, ebooks, graphics, software, and more.
Benefits of Using PLR Products
Save time and effort by creating content from scratch
Cost-effective compared to hiring a writer or designer
Customize the content to fit your brand's voice and style
Whether you're looking to fill your website with valuable information or create lead magnets for your email marketing campaigns, PLR products offer a convenient solution for busy professionals.
Understanding the Rights of PLR Products
PLR licenses exist on a spectrum, each granting different levels of usage and modification rights:
Private Label Rights (PLR):
This is the most comprehensive license. Buyers can edit, modify, and rebrand the content as their own. They can sell it, give it away, bundle it with other products, or use it as a lead magnet. Essentially, they have full control over the content's usage.
Resell Rights (RR):
With Resell Rights, buyers can sell the product as-is, but they cannot modify the content. They can package it with other products or use it as a bonus, but they cannot claim authorship.
Master Resell Rights (MRR):
Similar to Resell Rights, but with one key difference: buyers can also grant Resell Rights to their customers. This means they can sell the product and allow their customers to resell it as well.
Giveaway Rights:
This license allows buyers to give away the product for free. They can use it as a lead magnet, offer it as a bonus, or include it in a free membership. They cannot, however, sell the product.
Personal Use Rights (PUR):
This is the most restrictive license. Buyers may only use the product for personal purposes. They cannot modify, sell, or give it away.
Important Considerations for Entrepreneurs:
Read the License Agreement: Each PLR product is accompanied by a license agreement that outlines the specific rights granted. It's crucial for entrepreneurs to read and understand these terms before purchasing or using any PLR content.
Choose the Right License: Before making a purchase, consider how you intend to use the PLR product. Do you want to sell it, give it away, or use it for personal use? Choose the license that best aligns with your goals.
Respect Copyright Laws: While PLR grants certain rights, it's important to remember that copyright laws still apply. Always give credit to the original author where required, and avoid any unauthorized use of the content.
Add Your Unique Touch: Even with PLR, adding your unique voice, branding, and expertise can make the content truly yours and help it stand out in the market.
By understanding the different types of PLR rights and choosing the right license for their needs, entrepreneurs can leverage the power of PLR to create valuable content, save time and resources, and grow their businesses effectively.
