The Hidden Upside to Shiny Object Syndrome

*** For More: Check out our podcast https://ray.fm ***

Since you are reading this email, there is an extremely high possibility that you are an author or entrepreneur who suffers from the dreaded ” Shiny Object Syndrome.”
That is the phenomenon where something else catches your attention (and feels more interesting), and pulls you away from something you know you should be working on.
For me, a lot if comes down to anything being more interesting than what I have to do.
This is especially true with gadgets and tech.
I sit down to work on writing copy, an email, a funnel, an offer, a book chapter…
and the next thing I know, I am checking out some new fangled software that fixes some problem I didn’t know existed.
Or worse, it claims to do a better job than one piece of the puzzle in my software maze.
That is the main cause of ending up with a Spaghetti Site (one that has a whole bunch of pieces of software tied together in a shaky setup). But is there a positive to having Shiny Object Syndrome?
A year ago I would have said no way.
But there are two reasons I believe there is.
First, you get better at evaluating things quicker when they grab your attention. If I saw a piece of interesting software, it would take hours or days for me to figure out if it was right for me. Now I can do it in minutes.
(Hint: usually it comes down to Will this make me money or is it just something I need to find a problem to use it on?)
Second, sometimes you are drawn to something that is very useful, and can completely change the way you do things.
On a casual Friday morning a while back, I was having a conversation with a colleague, when she mentioned something that caught my attention. It sparked an idea that instantly resonated with me deeply. I honestly don’t know how much I heard her say for the last 15 minutes of that call, because my mind was racing.
Over the weekend, I followed that to fruition, researching, testing, and by Monday I had a name, logo and implementation plan. By end of day Monday I was locked in to this new project. Shiny Object
What happened from there seems like a whirlwind, and Pubfunnels was born.
And it all came from that one passing comment, and my own shiny object syndrome. I am forever grateful for both. Shiny Object Syndrome can, in fact, be used for good in some cases (your own good). Just use it to move yourself forward not procrastinate.
I started Pubfunnels because I needed best-in-class software, better support for the software I was going to use personally, and an end to the ridiculous software wealth tax on authors.
Last week I ran a private training called ” “, where I shared the incredible benefits of having your own marketplace, your very own author hub, working tirelessly for you 24 hours a day. How To Save A Fortune And Grow Your Author Business With Pubfunnels (https://email.raybrehm.com/c/eJxUzEFu6yAUheHVwNACLmAYMHhPkdtuoMrMusBFRgpxhFGi7L5qm0nH5zt_2q8D0_jIwWrrfcJINmk0IkcJRoIo_EU-qR91v77jsb1sSX-t8zwHmXXUllOQ1hnwWsyOU8N6-Tme7vHt7uh8Xp7_TXPbwyF2voVM0s3OgFHFUp5Jki–JJciOcxgeQ1KKBBGeSWFADul6K2gCBkQ_axmpkXHZ-y0tSntjV_CNsbtYPCPqYWp5XucGjG1HHgnBsu63vajjrpf15XBSfIeHr0O-g1NpX0FAAD__81FVs4)

“Where did he create that logo, Kajabi?”

*** For More: Check out our podcast https://ray.fm ***

Back in January, I sat in my office somewhat bewildered.
I received an email from someone wanting to show me their new logo. Apparently”, he had hired a designer for it.
I knew this was not true. I have seen enough digital branding art to know when someone is doing it themselves (I see it a lot with covers too). Canva is a blessing but also a curse in that way, especially to those who aren’t designers.
My son (11) walked into my office, as he frequently does to see what I am working on.
I said, “What do you think of this logo?”
He knows instantly when something does not look good and thus responded… “Where did he create that logo, Kajabi?”
I laughed because we were in agreement, and I knew what he meant by Kajabi.
He was still trying to learn all the products in our online world used by authors and entrepreneurs. And he had heard me mention Kajabi in a negative light in an earlier conversation. So he used that to describe what he was seeing as negative as well.
He knows all the people I interact with and all the products I use. In fact, any time he wanders into my office, he always asks what tool I am using because he wants to learn.
Lately, he doesn’t need to ask though. I am almost always only in one tool nowadays.
And I know he is not the only one to confuse all the different products we seem to need.
I can’t tell you how much software I bought over the years, only to open the bookmark in my browser later and ask… Why did I need this again?
That is why I started Pubfunnels. I needed best-in-class software, better support for the software I was going to use personally, and an end to the ridiculous software wealth tax on authors.

Avoiding the Wealth Tax on Authors

*** For More: Check out our podcast https://ray.fm ***

If you have ever paid any taxes, you know about the income tax. The more you earn the more you have to pay in taxes. (I will keep my opinion on taxes to myself for today)
There is another type of tax many governments are floating around now (and incredibly even implementing) called a wealth tax.
In the case of a wealth tax, if you own something valuable, regardless of whether you earn income or not, they want you to pay taxes on the value of the item.
Yea, I know…
But here is where it gets a little crazy. Most of the software you use today probably implements some form of wealth tax on you as the entrepreneur or author.
The software I moved away from this Spring after 5 years (I am not 100% out of it yet) has a heavy wealth tax. (I won’t name it, but you can literally pick any software that starts with K and ends with A) Exhibit A – Email Contacts Wealth Tax
They charge you $97/month for their starter package. That includes up to 2500 email contacts. Not emails sent, just email contacts. Once you hit 2501, you have to move up to their next tier ($197/mo) whether you send any emails or not.
That is the equivalent of a wealth tax. You are being charged for your asset whether you use it or not.
The thing that irks me is the cost of having email contacts in the system is virtually nothing, and should be covered by the monthly fee. It only really costs the company money if you send a lot of emails. Exhibit B – Multiple Course Wealth Tax
If you have more than 2 courses on the K platform, whether those courses have students in them or are even for sale, you must bump up that second tier.
Yep, if you have three courses being build with no students and no sales, you pay $197/mo.
Arguably, the crazy priced course-only platforms get more ridiculous because they tax you on the number of courses, and when you are at the lower tiers they make it up with surcharges up to like 6.5% on top of your credit card fee. Exhibit C – Custom Domain Wealth Tax
This one bit me hard. I have many different domains (over 50 I would guess right now), but in most systems they only allow you to actually use 1-3 without penalty.
So If I want a one page site with an optin, for just the name of my book while maintaining one for my course name and one for my name. That counts as 3.
The K Man (ie platform) will then charge me $10/mo for each additional custom domain. Many other platforms simply make you move up to the next tier for more domains. At one point, they were nickel and diming me to the tune of an extra $110/month on top of their second tier ($197/mo). In fact, one month I was forced to move to “gold” at $297/mo plus the $100/mo.
Kind of crazy, when you can purchase your domain for $8 on Namecheap, but have to pay your software $10-100s a month to use it.
Eventually, I just started redirecting my domains to pages on my raybrehm.com site. It wasn’t that I couldn’t afford it, but I think I am like most people who hate lighting money on fire for no real reason.
That is why I started Pubfunnels. I needed best-in-class software, better support for the software I was going to use personally, and an end to the ridiculous software wealth tax on authors.

About that illegal Scuba Training in Cancun

*** For More: Check out our podcast https://ray.fm ***

Back in the day (which means the 90s), my buddy Gino and I took a trip to Cancun.
One of the things he wanted to do during that trip was scuba dive. I knew certification in the US took lots of hours to complete, but we had an ace up our sleeves.
In Cancun, Mexico, they don’t have to follow US rules, certifications, etc.
The way it worked was you spent about 2 hours of training, first in a classroom and then in the pool, after which you could go diving in the beautiful Caribbean water.
It sounded great, we were both athletic and in good shape. I figured… There shouldn’t be any problems.
But during the second hour, the portion in the pool, I had problems.
I had the tank, mask and flippers on and could move around fine underwater. But I couldn’t breathe.
While submerged, I looked at Gino and the others in our class. They were all cruising around just fine. But something was wrong for me. When I took a breathe in, air came, but not enough.
I had to keep surfacing and take the regulator out of my mouth to catch my breath.
After a couple of these incidents, I paused for a moment above water and just watched what everyone else was doing.
It made no sense that everyone else could do this, but I couldn’t.
My equipment was working fine. There was something I was doing wrong.
I have asthma, and also maybe some slight claustrophobia, so maybe that was it?
I decided the first thing I had to do is just remain calm, go under and just try to get one breath right.
I put the regulator back in, and let myself sink straight down so I was sitting on the bottom of the pool (a mere one foot underwater).
I looked around, and noticed something. There were lots of bubbles coming out from the sides of everyone’s masks. Wait what? I don’t recall bubbles coming out of mine, at least not so many. O-M-G! The reason I couldn’t get a full breath was I wasn’t exhaling!
I would breath in, pause and then try to breath in again. I couldn’t get more air because my lungs were full.
So I focused on completely exhaling before taking my next breath.
It worked. Within 5 minutes I was cruising around that pool like a pro (in my own mind). I solved my issue by taking a moment to stop and see what everyone else was doing.
The same can be said for why some authors are moving forward and some are standing still.
If you stop and take a look at what is holding most authors back, you will see it pretty clearly. It is what they spend their time and money on.
If you are focused on…
building your website
connecting your email autoresponder
figuring out how to connect your course platform with your website
or anything other than connecting with partners and your audience
…then you are probably spending time and money on the wrong things.

How To Save A Fortune And Grow Your Author Business With Pubfunnels (https://email.raybrehm.com/c/eJxUzL1OwzAUxfGnscfIvvfabgYPIBQoQkyoHSN_KhZNHCUGBE-PgC7M53f-oS7NhXaMVpPu–B80oGcEtFLVBJF5ldyStte6vLg9ulqc_hvDz2PVkbypHmyUh-UJEAjeZpdufweb8_Pxy99enup908yyP51eTyvfLLZJBMjoOmFMVKZLBwFKSEe0GdFyIsFASgUaEChBXWZtBMhEhivok7ASGzu029pmrtQZ36xU2vrzvCGwcBg-Bm7OTEYdveeGA7juNa9tFKXcWR4J_hmP7bS0l-oy_N3AAAA__8AkFVQ)
It was so well received, I wanted to share it with you.
Building your author brand can be overwhelming with all the different products and services that you need ranging from a CRM like MailChimp, a scheduling program like Calendly, affiliate management with ThriveCart, a website builder like WordPress or Kajabi, course management system like Teachable or Thinkific, lead magnet / optin system like Leadpages, webinar management and virtual summits with Kartra, AI programs like Chat GPT. What if you could have a program that takes care of all these things for a fraction of the price?
Here are some key topics we covered during the webinar:
How you can create BOTH Funnels and Sites, and use them together to increase the visibility of your book, build your email list, sell products and services and get rid of all those other things like Clickfunnels, Kartra, Squarespace, Wix and WordPress Integrating your schedule with your site and email CRM, so people can make appointments with you, save you time and get rid of Calendly, ScheduleOnce or Acuity Scheduling
Create unlimited courses using our next generation Guided Course Creation, so you can make money and remove expensive products like Kajabi, Teachable, Thinkific and Membervault forever Utilize a Built In Blog, so your blog has a clean look and feel that matches your main site (because it is part of it) and you don’t have to futz around with WordPress to post (and do the impossible task of trying to make wordpress look good or match your site)
Use integrated forms and surveys to build your email list and serve the needs of your audience, while simultaneously reducing costs by dumping Leadpages, Survey Monkey, Jotform or Typeform.
Easily create automated follow up routines, that integrate with your funnels, products, freebies so you can nurture new leads and buyers and stop paying for Keap, Hubspot and Salesforce. Manage your entire email system built in with all of the above so you no longer need to pay for and manage Mailchimp, Mailerlite, ConvertKit, ActiveCampaign, Zoho. Create your own Bundles, Book Swaps and Summits right inside Pubfunnels. How to rein in spaghetti sites, and simplify your online presence
And much, much more…
Whether you are a published author, an aspiring writer, or someone looking to build a business around your book, this training is perfect for you. Pubfunnels will open your eyes to new possibilities and empower you to take control of your book sales like never before.
I have made the training available On Demand for just a few days. https∶//rayb.me/save (https://email.raybrehm.com/c/eJxUyzFP8zAQgOFfE4-RfT5f7cHD9w2BIsSE2vlsn5WIJqkSA4Jfj4AuzO_z5nVpnNuxREIKIXMSyshOl2SsM1ZXdSMn2fZpXe55H2-25r_WB1WiKZiQlERD3hkEezBKZp4uP-P_89Pxk06vz-vdo8kmvCwP56saY5ZSxSefq_eWPdfgrKAmtIHBoFFTBA1WOyCwmjT2FYl1LgiH5AoJdKg3_kibjHOf11ld4tjade_svw6GDobv2M_SwbDzm6gtvm9Tk9-rr_NXAAAA__82Ek-N) Leap.

2 Hours Left for Hybrid Course University

*** For More: Check out our podcast https://ray.fm ***

Last chance for this year’s Hybrid Course University. Yep, Danny only launches this once a year, and frankly the timing is perfect (I know from experience). June – July is a great time to organize your course, with your pilot target delivery after that. In 2021, I did just that. I 10xed my investment by mid-August that year. In fact, I earned about 20 times that back over the next 6 months by adding backend programs to my course. And Hybrid Course University gives you everything you need to get started, keep growing, and create a fully-fledged hybrid course business – in less than a year! Plus it includes a couple of very cool bonuses that give you extra one-on-one coaching and an easy-to-use online learning platform for your course. The best part is, Hybrid Course University has a value of $5,985 — but right now you can get it at a fraction of the cost. With Danny’s “pay what you can” offer, after the initial $500 activation investment, you set the price yourself . No catch. You just decide what you can pay, and you pay that amount each month for 6 months. (The minimum is $10, and there’s no maximum.) I don’t know if Danny will offer that kind of payment structure again, so I hope you’ll check out the program details now, while enrollment is still open. Join the Hybrid Course University now (and pay what you can). https∶//rayb.me/hcu (https://email.raybrehm.com/c/eJxUy7tOxDAQQNGvicvIj_GrcEFBxBbQAbU9niFByQY5Rqv9ewRss_U9F_dzz9hPNTlwMWIu5BCylbUoY5WRLG7kjdqx7OenfMw3y3hvQxQ1qQoFnKCkXLDSg48gaMvL-jde1peP0-Or1Z_t-YrNdPcevJgTU_UUrGFS3pUCtgTD6B1Uq3xUWSxJS22k1U6CiuDGoLkyR1KEGrHyALLla2k0byPum1jT3PvXMZiHQU-Dnn7juNGgpxm_RUuXtnT6n0befgIAAP__L3VQGQ) Enrollment closes to new students at midnight tonight, so be sure to sign up before that deadline!

Get all this to supercharge your online course creation (ends tonight)

*** For More: Check out our podcast https://ray.fm ***

When I took a look at just how much is available to you inside Danny Iny’s Hybrid Course University (AI Edition) I was impressed! Every year he makes it better (and this year it is incredibly affordable). Hybrid Course University actually includes three programs, each of which covers a different phase of the hybrid course creator’s journey. And each of these would be valuable and effective on its own — but when all three are combined, they supercharge each other! Here’s what I mean… It starts with Hybrid Course Launch to get your first course designed and built from the ground up in a matter of weeks, so you can start selling and delivering it to students asap. Then, Hybrid Course Audience ensures you’ll never be short of eager students ready to enroll in your course, because you’ll set up the infrastructure and momentum to attract more people every time you offer it. Finally, Hybrid Course Scale shows you exactly how to amp up your marketing and grow your impact month after month, until your course business and your income are as big as you want them to be. (And all along the way, you’ll use AI chatbots to speed up the research, planning, and drafting processes – so you can get a lot more done in less time.) You also get: A dedicated coach who will support, encourage, and guide you throughout your journey to hybrid course success 1×1 calls with your coach at key milestones to celebrate your progress, prepare for your next steps, and troubleshoot any potential roadblocks Feedback on all your assignments, so you can feel confident about your decisions and know that you’re on the right track Weekly live group Q&A calls with Danny himself, so you can deepen your understanding with his “industry insider” insights A weekly call with a Mirasee expert on that week’s topic, to help you make faster progress towards building and selling your course Weekly office hour calls so you know there’s always a time reserved for you to drop in on our Mirasee coaches, who are ready and waiting to answer your questions and help you work through any obstacles Unlimited email support from your coach, so they’re always there for you even outside of your live calls and office hours — if you get stuck, they’ll get you unstuck and moving forward In short, Hybrid Course University gives you everything you need to get started, keep growing, and create a fully-fledged hybrid course business – in less than a year! Plus it includes a couple of very cool bonuses that give you extra one-on-one coaching and an easy-to-use online learning platform for your course. The best part is, Hybrid Course University has a value of $5,985 — but right now you can get it at a fraction of the cost.

Set your own price for this $6,000 experience

*** For More: Check out our podcast https://ray.fm ***

If you’ve ever considered building an online course to leverage your expertise… Then I hope you’re seriously considering Danny Iny’s Hybrid Course University program. It’s literally everything you need – including expert 1:1 coaching support – to launch a profitable course business in less than a year. Two years ago, I used his system to do a pilot launch of my course to the tune of 13k, and then another 20k or so upsells (via services) in the following 6 months. Of course, your mileage will vary but… It is a somewhat no-brainer with Danny’s pay-what-you-can pricing, and his guarantee that you’ll earn at least $6,000 by the time you reach the end of the program. But I just couldn’t resist adding one more thing. 🙂 The nagging question people have when they go through any program like this is… I know that I know my stuff, and I know my course is going to be great… but who is going see it or to buy it? That is why I am including my new masterclass (you will receive access in June) called Course Launch It details all the methods I use to build my audience, especially in anticipation of launching a flagship course, like you will be doing after you go through Hybrid Course University . When you use my link below, Danny’s system will send me your email and I will send you access in June (around the 13th).

Leap. Love. Grow. Ray P.S. This is the method I used to launch Summit Lab, 2 years ago. I paid more for it at the time but my return was 20X in the next 6 months. Now Danny has reduced the costs, and is offering a $500 down, pay what you can after that plan.

Did you know that most of the money spent on marketing by small business owners is WASTED? And my colleague and friend, Estie Starr will tell you it’s not your fault! It’s because NO ONE is teaching the critical information you need in order to market successfully when you’re a small business owner. The tools used by the big companies with their massive budgets don’t work for the little guy. That’s why I’m excited to invite you to the ultimate Marketing Masterclass for small business owners on May 24th (tomorrow), presented by my friend and colleague Estie Starr, who is going to solve the problem for you! <> (https://email.raybrehm.com/c/eJxUzM1OAyEUxfGngeUEuHzMLFhodWJjXJgYdTcBLjgkpVSGxLRPb9RuXJ_f-Yd67C70PVot9TQF56MO0imGnoPiwBK9ktfYtlyPD25brzaF_3acKFqO0ktNo-V6lOMogDEai8uH3-N5N73ff267-rb3jy_t-XK5fap0td6bJJRDVJxxb5JhaYSkvUrBGOMnmq1gApgSIITioAcjA0qcDCA3iBqJZM2dfYtrGUIt9GDX3k8bgRsiZiLmn3EokYi5uI8cCMzLcqpb7rkel4XAHaPNfrXc419pSOU7AAD__x_bVw0) Estie has dedicated the past 15 years, and spent over 12,500 hours coaching small business owners toward marketing success. And her speciality is organic marketing strategy, specifically for small business owners and non-profits. So if you’re not a natural marketer, and you want to KNOW your investment in marketing is going to pay off- Estie is your best guide. <> (https://email.raybrehm.com/c/eJxUzLFOwzAQxvGnscfIvrOdePAAhYgKMSAhYIsc35VYauKSWELt0yOgC_P3-_6pLDWmuqfgjPM-xZFdMtEqGjVajeogr-SV1y2X5SFu09Ue0n_beUlBkxmNkxy060zXASoleY75-Hs87_z7_ee2K2_78fFlfb5cbp-KnIID7CLHkS2AIm_ZO8_UQrJRe0YncwAFqCwggNXomtYkMuRbJN0SORJGrfE8rjzNTSqzPIap1tMm8EZAL6D_GZuZBfRz_MhJYD8Mp7LlmssyDALvtFzD15or_5Waw_wdAAD__-xUVq8) I look forward to seeing you there, and bring your most difficult marketing questions for Estie to answer for you!

Love. Grow. Ray P.S. This is the method I used to launch Summit Lab, 2 years ago. I paid more for it at the time but my return was 20X in the next 6 months. Now Danny has reduced the costs, and is offering a $500 down, pay what you can after that plan.
Plus if you purchase, let me know. I am creating a course for Danny’s Audience in June called , which teaches how to build an audience quickly when launching your course.

The Rapid Course Creation Workshop – Live this Thursday

*** For More: Check out our podcast https://ray.fm ***

Do you have an online course yet? Or your second, or your third?
If you are like me, one of the biggest barriers is the process.
How to consistently create courses without starting from scratch each time
Determining whether a course should be a sprint course vs a marathon (aka Flagship course)
How to avoid fluff, and get to the content your students need
How to match the course to your ideal client’s vision
and so on…
It took me a while, but I created a simple framework that allows me to rapidly create courses (sometimes in only a day). The only pre-requisite is, you have to be an expert on your material.
That’s it. (if you are reading this email, then you most likely are)
But sometimes we confuse being an expert on our material with being an expert on course creation and tech.
Those last two will take care of themselves, when you create your own framework, and use some of the downright simple course creation tech out there.
This Thursday, I am hosting a free, informal webinar called The Rapid Course Creation Workshop. (there will be a replay, but you must register to get access)
The workshop shows you how to move from procrastination to proficient course creation by applying a simple 3-step framework. The courses may vary from sprint courses, to marathon flagship courses. But they always have one thing in common, the framework I use is always the same. In this is informal workshop, I share my simple but highly effective strategies and tech for course creation.
In this free workshop you will learn…
3 Simple Steps to a High Quality Course
Design a course to match the vision you create for your ideal prospect
Why a course is not something you should wait to create, and how to start now
How to use feedback to improve your content
How to get paid before you create your course
You can join us on Thursday and get access to the replay, by registering here: https∶//pubfun.live/rccm (https://email.raybrehm.com/c/eJxMy71OwzAQAOCniTeis3123MEDKqooYkaom-98VgL5k5Py8_ZI0IH9-3iZ98T7OUePgCUcwGpKrtMgznqfXVA38iJ1G5b5MW39zRb_33aAQeWoMxJ6JVH7oLX36FDJlIbxN17ev-zbXXjitV6648P5mfLxVfXRsjN0EHYgCKyhuFKCp8wZNFlOaogGjAXUYAwC6tZ3ZE2QLge0ZLA0CDV9U5V-anmZ1Bj7fV-3xt435tSY03qlcp3bcfiQxpwq86Rq_KzDLn-zLdNPAAAA__9WoU_-) Leap. Love. Grow.

P.S. I use these workshops to fine tune my content for courses. But I will not be selling this one on Thursday. In fact, I will be giving access to the final product free to those who use the tech I recommend. But no matter what tech you use, creating your own framework is the key to making course creation easier long term. And you will hear how I do it, and how to model it on Thursday.
