Just been reading the wild story about OpenClaw and how quickly it grew.
I was worried about setting up a new MacMini to run it and found geni.us/xcloud_jimbanks which offer one click install, 5 minutes and you are ready to control your own AI Agent.
It's completely Bonkers.

I had a killer game of pinball as well... – at Crossford, Scotland

I'm a big fan of @substack
Trying to post content there regarding #BrightonSEO

How cool that @lilyraynyc is going to be one of the keynotes at @affiliatesummit in January.
Hoping it's an afternoon keynote.

To every DTC site owner:
"We cannot go after thousands of men until we learn how to win one"
The book is from 1933 so hope women can forgive his sexism, but it's full of rich science backed stories. – at London, England
School holidays here in the UK.
For all the parents out there.
Why do you let your children at any age, stand on chairsbor sit on the table in coffee shops?
Drives me nuts.
Other people will sit there and if a 6 year old has stood on something "bad"....
Carry on, rant over. – at Firsdown, England
TRying to login to @Pinterest using my Google account, it asks for MFA which involves them sending me a code.
They sent me a 6 digit code, but are asking for a 7 digit code.
Such a conundrum.
Think I'll go ask AI what to do....
Big budgets aren't always smart. When clients are spending too much on brand, "before you've taken your jacket off" there's money to be saved and better spent. Ever seen this? #Marketing #Budgeting
Media buyers - Due diligence is key.
Public companies reveal a goldmine in their 10Q's, truthful quarterly returns.
Shareholders are the ultimate focus.
"Fiduciary responsibility" is for the company's best interest.
#MediaBuying
The data is there - 10Q's and prospectuses reveal competitors and vendors plans.
Do you think AI will generate all ads by 2026? Facebook seems to think so.
Is it time to pivot or innovate?
Thousands spent, zero conversions.
Is Google Ads' "hot potato" Demand Gen leading advertisers astray?
They'll spend your budget until *you* spot the gaps.
Seen this happen?

Navigating a meet market? Don't get lost in the crowd! "Make a beeline" for key targets. Pre-plan 75% of your interactions and leave 25% for spontaneous connections. Are exhibit halls always worth it? #Networking #AffiliateMarketing
The quietest people can sometimes be the most impactful. The trick is in spotting who is really listening. "There's always the one person that is like 5 feet back." Bring them in. You never know what they know. #Networking #Communication
In business, maintaining relationships is key. Even small payments can remind people "they were in business," and prompt them to see what other offers there are. #businessstrategy #businessstrategy
Affiliate marketing truth: you're always at the mercy of who's paying you, not who converts. Compliance, landers—little control, big risk. "Not understanding" this is where many fall. Seen this happen? #AffiliateMarketing
