Welcome 4th instalment of Jonny's Journal!

August is over, month 5 done! This is my fourth email, so strap in...

Last month I asked this:

"I’m still unsure on how exactly to format these emails, so any feedback would be massively appreciated!"

I had a pretty large response saying to keep it the same writing style and format...

So like my videos I will try to be my authentic self, while providing as much value as possible!

This is the rough structure of my emails:

1) A once a month snippet into my life

2) Insights into upcoming projects and hustles you can try with me!

3) I'll reveal all of my resources/ tools and secrets.

4) Community building giveaways and opportunities to work together!

5) Genuine honest content that may take a tad more effort than endless meme scrolling and reels melting your brain, but we all know that is good for nothing!

Let's address the elephant in the room...

I did not send you an email a week in August did I hahah...

*For those of you that haven't read last months email, I mentioned I would switch to weekly emails and failed spectacularly...

Honestly I could come up with excuses about how I took some time off working...

Flew across the world to meet up with my African sister...

That I haven't seen for 18 years...

Because we were split up in 2005 when I was adopted...

But...

That would seem like a lame excuse right?... 😉

Well, that's what happened.

I had a very different start to most in the West and experienced a lot of hardship early on. (Honestly recalling my life seems like a crazy Netflix documentary, maybe one day I will share more about my origins.)

But, there is no one who really understands the hardships of those years in Africa (Mozambique, Quelimane) apart from my sister.

Because she lived it with me.

So being able to rekindle with her and talk about this period was really wholesome, and rather therapeutic...

And because she was 4 year older than me, her recollection of it all is much better.

Quick summary of my trip to Portugal; (If you're interested! If not skip to the next bold headline)

She speaks fluent Portuguese, I speak English, so it could have been a disaster but her partner speaks pretty good English so we made it work.

My sister has a 3 year old, so I am now an uncle and I honestly loved the experience.

I have incredible memories of my uncles just being these cool guys who were big and strong and would always be these fun playful characters. So that's what I tried to replicate.

I think I did a good job haha, she didn't walk anywhere in 2 weeks as she was on my shoulders the whole time and we played lots of silly games...

Her favourite - sitting on my shoulders we'd charge at the pillar of a building, as if we were going to crash into it, swerving last minute. This got an incredibly cute reaction, of that incredibly infection giggle toddlers do.

So as you can guess, we did this a lot!

The only issue I found, is that kids this age don't ever want to stop.

So, there were a fair few tantrums, but this was a huge insight for me as I hadn't experienced this age before...

I guess they don't call it the terrible 2's for no reason! 🤣

Summary yes, I failed my business goals for August.

However I don't regret it!

Back to today's topic - Andrew Tate Tweet and a new money printing opportunity...

Specifically, capitalising on the new innovative technology Artificial Intelligence and the opportunities this provides...

It makes more sense to talk about the Tweet later, first let's look at AI.

Last month I broke the opportunities down into 3 categories:

Customer service (chat bots)
Content creation (faceless brands)
Automation services (streamlining businesses)

So let's dive into Customer service chat bots and how this can start making you $10,000 per month.

(Apparently anyway, luckily you have me to test this for you, but more on that later)

Firstly, I need to be real with you.

Because I know a lot of you need to hear this.

So repeat after me haha, "making money online requires hard work, discipline and patience"

I don't know why, but if you tell someone it takes 6 years + of studying Medicine to become a Doctor, they're extremely understanding.

But if you tell someone it takes 6-12 months of working solidly on an online skill to start making money, they don't want to hear it!

Now I know the millionaire gurus, plus the teenage TikToker's stunting in Lambo's makes it seem like internet money is a cheat code.

Unfortunately this is not the case!

So now we've covered that, let's break down the chatbot business model and why it is so valuable to learn.

I'll keep this dead simple and for anyone who actually wants to do this I'll provide all the further resources you'll want to read

Simply put, AI Chat bots are designed to reduce the need for customer service agents. Which in turn saves a business thousands, if not tens of thousands/ hundreds of thousands (obviously depending on the size of the business).

How it works?

You teach an AI language model all the information about your business, then you create a bank of frequently asked questions from your customers and you train the model to be able to respond to these.

Pretty insane right?

As a business owner myself I must receive hundreds of emails all asking similar things. So if I was to hire a customer service agent I could spend $5-15 an hour freelance or $5-25,000 per year on a full time basis.

I can train artificial intelligence to respond to the simple customers and if there is anything more specific I can then respond to those myself.

Freeing up my time and money!

I'm not going to pretend to be an expert at this so checkout these resources:

AI Chat Bot Learning Resources

If you don't want to read everything, potentially waste a tonne of time and not have success...

Don't fear because Shappers is here 🤣 - aka I will do this for you.

I'll try the model to see if it works - so you don't waste your time!

And I will document all my findings on my YouTube channel!

Community & giveaways!

Okay so at this point I usually do my monthly giveaway!

I am back in the coffee shop writing this email, and I want to announce the winners of my 30 day content creation challenge!

If you did not know - I was running a 30 day challenge where I encourage my subscribers to start a brand new social media page and see how far posting daily through August would get you!

August roundup

My mini update on the month will be coming in a second email...

But I will say this!

I know a lot of you are genuinely interested in my pursuits and these mini updates in the email.

So thank you for replying!

I want to connect with as many of you as possible to try:

1) Connect and get to know you guys better!

2) If I know your interests and needs I can specifically help your individuals problems and provide more value.

3) Not feel so weird sending a one way transmission, your replys make this more like a conversation. Which I really enjoy!

On a side note:

Because I try to be as transparent as possible, when I don't necessarily crush my goals I feel like a failure to this email list ahah.

I want to provide knowledge, value and inspiration, but honestly sometimes I don't achieve my goals.

But this got me thinking...

I remember seeing these insanely strict entrepreneur daily routines, leading to their crazy success...

Of course this is rather inspiring.

But, it is also extremely un-relatable.

So take it from me, if anything I do works and is successful.

You could easily do it too haha.

So I guess that is inspiring in itself! 😂

Anyhooo, I hope you have had a great August and a great summer, and wish you a successful productive September!

Andrew Tate Tweet - Final note about the AI opportunities

So now it makes sense to mention the Andrew Tate tweet...

I got mentioned by him, check it out here.

People have been asking how I managed to pull this off?...

Well here's the scoop:

In his online Course The Real World - I was trying to get into the Affiliate marketing campus.

To do this you have to provide screenshots of earning from working with a client.

So I provided a screenshot of a UGC client, of whom I create content for their YouTube channel. (which is what he shared)

Because they are videos about AI, and the clients company had AI in the name.

It worked extremely well for a marketing push for Tate to share on his Twitter as social proof for his new AI content creation course.

"AKA people are actually making money! Come try it for yourself"

Strictly it is not true

BUT

I am not complaining.

Love him or hate him, as a small content creator to have a huge account like his post about you, is a great moment!

So yeah, that's the story on how it came about.

For the noisy buggers like me that wanted to know!

That’s all friends!

As always, I have linked last month's videos below, plus a bunch of useful AI tools that I have been using!

Ya boys goneskis.

P.S Lookout for another email this month coming! I promised a weekly email last month but that totally failed. So I'll start smaller with 2 emails per month and go from there haha.

P.P.S If you're genuinely wanting to make a change to your life and start earning money online.

The next 4 months are a really great time to start Oct-January specifically Q4 is when people go on a spending frenzy and businesses typically make 70% of their yearly revenue!
