Behold, history’s most brutal form of content creation from 80 AD to 404 AD:
Throwing people into a stone-walled Roman colosseum.
Filled with lions, tigers, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, rhinoceroses, bears, crocodiles, and… worst of all…
… other people you were…
… just sharing a meal with last night…
… but are now forced to kill in a battle to the death!
All while people in the stands cheer at every spill of blood and guts.
But:
Not everyone inside was forced to be there.
I’m currently reading a book on the history of this ‘sport’…
… and while…
… a lot of the poor guys thrown into the stadium were slaves, prisoners of war, criminals, and Christians…
… there were people who WANTED to ‘fight to the death’!
Notably:
Some senators who had their pumped-up blood coursing wildly through their veins, and wanted to feel sword and javelin in their hands, while they tried to conquer every beast and human imaginable, so they could prove how ‘manly’ they were. And some emperors too.
But…
I was reading about this ‘pretty boy’.
He was part of a theatre troupe. And apparently they were offering a 10,000 coin reward if you won at the arena. So he went in. And was pitted against a pro gladiator.
But he’d obviously never fought in his life.
So he quickly got pierced through the leg with a saber. And was losing so much blood, he almost collapsed. But the gladiator seeing this, rushed forward to finish him off… not knowing that the guy had some ‘mettle’ left in him… which he used to spring forward and thrust his sword straight through the gladiator’s chest, and finally collapsed on top of his opponent’s dead body.
He survived. And won the 10,000 coins.
Eventually got nursed back to health by his friend.
And retired to the countryside with his fiancée whom he finally married.
But:
It reminds me of how…
… people today ain’t much different from back then in the 1st century.
Social media influencers are constantly putting themselves at death’s door, just to get fame, fortune, and loads of views. Even when it costs them their life.
Like for example:
- This guy I read about a couple years back. Who got his girlfriend a gun, and wanted her to shoot him while he held a super thick dictionary. So he could upload it to YouTube. And she did, but the bullet pierced through the book anyway, and he died. But his girlfriend went viral… while she was in prison.
- Or the crazy lady I saw in a news clip the other day who climbed an amusement park ‘tower’ to take a selfie video and talk about how cool it was, but fell to her ultimate demise.
- Or the social media fitness influencer who wanted to show everyone that you could binge eat lots of junk food for 30 days to gain weight, and as long as you worked out everyday, you’d be fine. But when he reached the 2nd week of doing that, he went to sleep and never woke up the next day.
- Or the Instagram model who literally struck and killed her rival influencer outside a club just a month ago, in a modern-day ‘battle royale’, much like the gladiators of old who fought till the draw or the death.
- Or the food influencer who was constantly stuffing himself with the best foods from around the country, to the point that he blew up… to 650 pounds… and suddenly died in his 20s one day, the cause of which, according to news reports, is ‘suspected to be somehow related to his lifestyle’. Actually, there are dozens of ‘fat social millionaire died’ cases like these.
And let’s not talk anymore of…
… all the social media content creators who are constantly falling to their deaths, almost every month, after dropping out of apartment buildings, bridges, skyscrapers, cliffs, waterfalls, into volcanos, off the roof of moving bullet trains, and more, after tempting fate… to please the cheering crowds…
But:
If only they knew there were… a better way to go viral!
Like by simply clipping interesting content…
… and piecing them together with addictive ‘power words’ that ‘force’ people to start and keep watching…
… like what all my millionaire kid Youtuber mentors do to ‘create content’ that makes them millions, without needing to do a single live or self-recorded video, and which they’ve mostly outsourced to editors around the world while they have fun doing other stuff.
How many lives would that save?
Unfortunately, we may never know…
Because my latest work on these ‘addictive’ power words, my 21 One-Minute Word Hacks collection, closes in just 3 more days.
After which… who knows when I’ll release it again?
But:
If you have any social media ‘influencer’ friends whose lives you suspect might be in peril, you may want to send them this email and the link to this before it’s gone.

P.S. Sigh… I hate reading these types of news stories. They scare the heck outta me…
P.P.S. I cover several quick and easy, ‘tasty word tricks’ for making your content engagingly addictive inside. But if you want a sneak peak, these are what you’ll find:
- How millionaire YouTuber kids from Japan, Cyprus, USA, and even Iran… many of whom are barely out of puberty… are gaming the YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok algorithms like a Nintendo Switch, with simple little ‘word hacks’ that generate them billions in traffic, and millions in email subscribers! (If even kids who dropped out of school are doing this, it’d be a shame for you not to do it too. Especially when it’s way easier than going to work or school! Page 3 shows you how.)
- The single word used by almost every viral video on the planet, that instantly grabs you by the ears, and almost forces you to watch and listen… like a mom who’s pinching her trashy little kid by the earlobes, and screaming some sense into him. (I’ve trained myself to do this so much, it’s like breathing air. And if you’re reading this, I guess it’s working! Page 5 for the fastest, easiest way to do it too.)
- How the world’s top persuasion expert, Robert Cialdini, used the psychology behind this ‘earlobe-pinching’ word to save himself from a near-death accident… and how you can do it too. (This happens to SO many people, with literally MILLIONS around the world dying from this every year, that not knowing this could literally be the difference between life and death. So I’m giving you special permission to share this part, but ONLY this part, with all your loved ones too. Page 5)
- Two ordinary, everyday words that Albert Einstein almost always used to market himself and his ideas, and were hugely responsible for him becoming extraordinarily famous… plus, how you can start using them in minutes! (This was in spite of there being many other brilliant scientists at the time… but he still beat them all, and everyone before and after, to become arguably the most famous scientist in history… to the point that… every woman and her mother, and even Russian spies, wanted him in their bedchambers, while also vying for a room in his heart! Pages 23 & 24)
- How an ordinary man discovered an extraordinarily exciting secret for selling over $100 million worth of boring little books… in the 1920s! (This ‘text-only’ secret is so simple, yet so incredibly effective, that even today there isn’t a faster way I know of to 10x your book sales right now than by doing this. Page 2 if you wanna do it too.)
- What the recent translation of ancient Sumerian texts with the newest AI technology reveals about the future of life on Earth, as well as business and marketing in general (Plus: concepts you can use right now to make maximum money in minimum time! Page 52)
- What one of the UK’s greatest ad men, Rory Sutherland, says is the reason why certain foods go viral while others are treated like puke (And the same principle applies to your content too, if you want people to ‘binge eat’ everything you put out, stuffing it into their tiny little heads as if it were chips, chocolates, cookies, and coffee… Page 27)
- A group of words I’ve never heard any other marketer talk about, but which millionaire YouTube kids living in their parents homes are using to rake in millions of views and dollars… because it makes it impossibly hard for anyone to stop listening or watching once you see them. (When’s the best place to use this? Right at the start of your content, because you’ll keep them reading or listening all the way through! Page 42)
- What I discovered, after mentoring and studying from some of the richest underground ‘kid millionaires’ on YouTube over the last year, about creating irresistibly, addictive content and copy. (And how you can start doing what they’re doing with almost any type of content, in almost any type of niche, in as little as a minute or less. Don’t skip Pages 3 & 4.)
- Why legendary copywriter, Gary Halbert, carried stacks of cash in his pockets wherever he went and… let hundreds, or perhaps even thousands of dollars, just randomly drop out or fly out whenever he accidentally brushed his hands against them… while never even batting an eyelid… or even… stopping to pick ANY of it up when it happened! (Plus: probably the single most powerful word he used in his sales letters to make millions more back, in just a matter or days, whenever he went broke… after dropping all his money on the streets! Pages 13 & 14)
- The ancient 400-year-old Chinese ‘Book of Scams’ I’m currently reading, and how you can ethically use the same psychological concepts to make people obsess over your content as if it were gold. (Believe it or not, Albert Einstein once talked about these principles, proving that he wasn’t just a genius… but also… a marketing genius! Page 51)
- The sneaky trick that makes it almost impossible to ignore you, stop listening to you, or even… stop reading whatever you’ve written! (And how you can do this as easily and automatically as a bad smoking habit you just can’t kick. Pages 3 & 4)
- What to check for in your content after every few paragraphs, or every minute of video, if you want people to actually consume your stuff all the way through, without scrolling, swiping or clicking away. (All you need to check for is a single word… a word so powerful that…. a ‘newbie’ on YouTube used this technique one week… to blow right past the world’s leading YouTuber, Mr. Beast’s weekly channel stats… to the tune of 70 to 80 millions views on a single video, in as little as 7 days! The best part? It only takes a second or two to do this. Page 22)
- What a paragliding dog and a sister who saved her baby bro from a heinous kidnapping attempt can teach you about writing and speaking for maximum sales and subscribers. (This world is crazier than you think, but the results you can get with this are even crazier. Details on Page 7)
- A traditional word Japanese use, everywhere they go, that turns heads and ‘sucks in’ attention like there’s no tomorrow, even on the most modern social platforms. (But it doesn’t matter what niche you’re in, what traffic source you use, what you sell, or even what medium your content is created in… because the moment you use this surprisingly interesting word in your content, people won’t be able to resist listening and ‘fanboying’. Page 26)
- What history’s greatest marketers and copywriters knew about getting you to stop, listen, and buy… using simple little words you’ve been trained on since kindergarten. (But millionaire YouTubers are just starting to get this, through trial and error, by uploading thousands of random videos a month. Now you don’t have to, if you wanna profit from them. Page 4)
- The two most powerful attention-sucking words that one of my ‘kid millionaire’ YouTube mentors taught me to always include in my content. (These words are why generating content with CrapGPT or whatever AI you use, is just a recipe for long-term ruin and disaster. Because they’ll never be able to use these words without lying. Details on Page 58)
- One of the most frequently used words in the English language, but here’s why you should use it less if you ever want people to consume your content. (Plus: swap it with these two words instead. Sounds crazy, sounds simple, but I can attest that it’s absolutely true! More on Page 7)
- Every time you explain something, or ask people to do something, you must also mention __ (Doesn’t matter if it’s your clients, customers, colleagues, coworkers, friends, family, or even your spouse and kids! These small words about __ play a massive role in whether people’s brains decide to listen you… or no. Page 35 for details)
- The neuroscience of how your brain choose what to pay attention to, and why 99% of businesses are dead in the water before they even start! (I don’t care what sort of new AI-hack or app you buy or create, you can’t force the human brain to pay attention to your business if it doesn’t do this. Page 11)
- What the world’s most viral music videos can teach you about ‘hijacking’ words to get straight into people’s hearts, guts, and even their wallets! (Artists and musicians don’t go viral and make billions of dollars by accident… they know something about words that even top copywriters are just starting to discover. Luckily, all it takes is a single word to do this. Page 54)
- WARNING: Words you should almost always use in the title of every long-form YouTube video you create if you don’t want people scrolling away and ignoring you! (Ignore this at your own peril, but from my experience I can tell you you’re gonna be dropping your CTR and watch-time over a cliff if you do… Page 10)
- The sneakiest word hack you can use to get people to click-through on your videos, articles, or whatever piece of content you’re promoting… and getting them so antsy, they can’t leave without knowing more! (One word added, and a couple words deleted… that’s all you need to do this… with details on Page 43)
- The easiest way to start an email, and instantly ‘grapple’ their attention until they finish reading, according to world’s greatest email copywriter, Matt Furey. (This seemingly simple word hack was something he discovered after intensive study of hundreds of speeches given by some of the greatest US presidents in history. And it still works like crazy today. Maybe even better. And even on YouTube. Pages 24 & 25)
- How what you do when you’re on the ‘loo’, doesn’t matter if it’s number one or number two, can affect the attractiveness of all your content, and even all your sales copy too. (This might sound weird, even too stinky to be true, but bear with me, bear with me, on Page 26 you’ll see it ain’t ‘poo’)
- The fastest, easiest way to use a single word, and put your readers or viewers into a flow state that keeps them reading and watching till the end. (And if you do it right, even beyond the end… all the way up to your checkout and thank you pages! Page 49)
- The grammatically incorrect ‘word hack’, I don’t recommend using, for ‘chaining people’ to your content… that one of the world’s top YouTubers uses to consistently rake in 20 to 80 million views on almost every single video he posts! (It’s to the point that, you don’t even have to create a lot of content when you do this… because… this guy only has 12 videos but is doing way better than channels with thousands. Flip to page 22, if you wanna discover and use this surprisingly simple trick that… I use all the time too, but without all the grammar problems!)
- The single power word that one of the greatest ad men in history, David Ogilvy, used to get people to START reading some of his most profitable ads. (What’s the point of creating content, ads, or even sales copy if no one reads it? This word makes sure that they very likely will… Page 47)
- The tiniest word hack that makes the biggest difference possible when it comes to getting your content consumed and converting into cold, hard cash…
- And more!
Anyways, the oven closes in 3 more days.
