I finally broke down and bought a new laptop. It's another HP. Last time, I got a 17 inch Envy non touchscreen. It is an Intel i7 with a badass 4GB Nvidia graphics card.

But it was a beast to lug around. And the fan ran all.the.time. One of my kids is always borrowing it to play video games on, so I thought I should just get another one.

This time, I opted for a “convertible.” It's an Envy x360 with an AMD processor and graphics chip, 16GB of RAM, and comes with only a 256GB SSD. It's also a 15.6 inch that weighs about 4 pounds with a solid 4-cell battery.

It's a custom build, so I won't get it until the end of January. I guess they have to assemble them on Mars. Oh well. I'm looking forward to being able to easily carry around a laptop again. I should be more productive now, as I won't have either excuse (“Kid's got it” or “It's too damned heavy”).

For Christmas, I got a Fitbit Charge 4. I really never wanted one of these, and funny enough, I got two of them! Rather than return one (always a hassle), I gave one to my wife and kept one. And you know what? I love it!

I've walked 10,000 steps each of the last 3 days. My goal was 3,000. I guess I overachieved. This thing even records your sleep and gives you a score the next day.

Needless to say, and I'm sure you're in a similar sinking ship, I don't sleep well. But I have taken naps the last 2 of 3 days, and I think I actually sleep better at night when I do take a nap in the early afternoon.

Goal now is to take two walks a day – one in the morning and one before the sun goes down, which at this time of year is about 4:30pm.

I'm also stoked because I got a new A/V receiver that will allow me to play records again! Yay for me. It also has 7 HDMI outputs, so I can add a few more bits to the system.

If you've read this blog at all in the past, or subscribe to my newsletter, you know I hate the term “funnel.” So what did I do? I bought a funnel builder called Funnelvio. It was a one-time cost and the cool thing is you can import any funnel. Why is this so cool? Pick a high-gravity product from ClickBank, for example, go to the home page, and copy that URL. Then go to Funnelvio and paste that URL in the import function.

You get a virtual copy of the original, with all the follow-up pages. Now, I'm NOT condoning copying somebody else's pages. But what you get is the flow. How it all works. Then you change the pages to look however you want. It's pretty cool.

I think I'll try it out on 5 products and see how it goes. I'll try a few different niches and see if I can run ads to my landing pages and see some success. I'll report back at some point.

That's it for today. Tomorrow is a snow day so I may or may not blog tomorrow. We'll leave early and get home…BUSHED.

Free Disk Partition Manager

I know you think this is an internet marketing blog, but it's much more than that. I do talk tech from time to time.

In all seriousness, I wanted to share with you a neat little tool that I found the other day out of necessity.

February 9, 2021 – Affiliate Marketing, Content Distribution, and Miscellaneous Ramblings

Lots of noise in the world…let's talk about affiliate marketing! Lots going on in the world today. Still fighting the COVID-19 pandemic (numbers are finally going down), Trump's second impeachment (will this be “must-see TV” – I don't know and I won't be watching), and it's FREEZING up here in the PNW. Could get a couple inches of snow. Snow day! Except the kids aren't IN school. They're “distance learning.” Anyhoo…let's talk affiliate marketing. What is Affiliate Marketing? Think of selling something. It could be something you make yourself or somebody else made it. If the latter, it's affiliate marketing. Of course, I'm really simplifying this. Is a retailer an affiliate marketer? I guess, according to the definition above. According to Wikipedia, Affiliate marketing  is a type of  performance-based marketing  in which a business rewards one or more  affiliates  for each visitor or customer brought by the a...
