“A pot of berry jam.
That’s all I know…”
Was listening to the wifey recount how she came up with the idea for her latest artwork.
Which is simply… smashing!
But:
It reminded me of all the pots of berry jam we had in the cupboard.
That my mom gave us.
But we could never finish using. Or eating.
“What can we do with all that jam?” I thought to myself. “Because we don’t even eat much jam anyways. So it’s just sitting there. Wasting away. Wait! What if I just put up an ad, and wrote a story to sell it all? Hmm… but I have lots of stuff at home I could sell too. Should I write some stories to sell all of them?”
But it brought to mind a story…
… of this interesting money-making experiment…
… that took place in 2009.
Because a couple of writers were wondering about the power of words.
And whether they could use words to turn worthless little trinkets into oodles of hard, cold cashola. Simply by giving those worthless items… some backstory!
So what did they do?
Well, first they went to the flea market.
Bought around a hundred little useless trinkets at an average cost of $1.25 each.
Then…
They wrote 400 to 500 word (obviously) fictional, but meaningful, backstories for each of those hundred pieces of unwanted ‘garbage’.
Finally?
They auctioned them all on eBay.
The trinkets. With their individual stories.
But the results they got several weeks later?
Shocking!
Actually… beyond shocking!
Because they bought $128.74 of random, useless, unwanted pieces of flea market ‘rubbish’, but… sold them all for… $3,612.51!
With some of their dollar items selling for as little as 10x ROI ($10 to $20), all the way up to…
104x ROI ($130 for a $1.25 trinket), and more!
Why the difference?
Well, obviously, one of the biggest reasons was… that some stories were… a lot BETTER than others! Just imagine what would happen if you did the same thing, but actually sold something of value? Perhaps simply by email? To your list everyday?
But anyways:
Let’s backtrack a bit to…
… what makes the difference between a story that sells ‘garbage’ for 10x ROI, versus a godlike tale that gets your piece of trash sold for a whopping 130x ROI… or more.
The answer?
Well, there’s lots of stuff I can think of.
But probably the biggest one is based on the work of a couple of scientists, who spent a lot of time dissecting the difference between top box office ‘stories’… like James Cameron’s blockbuster hit, Titanic… and absolute garbage, probably like Disney’s latest mutilated version of Snow White & The 7 Dwarves. Along with research into other areas too. Like how to speak to make you more persuasive, and how not to.
But in the end:
The most important difference between a good or great story all boiled down to…
… which ‘power words’ they used…
… and when!
‘Power words’ that I talk about in my latest collection of 21 One-Minute Word Hacks, that instantly make your content and copy almost impossible to ignore, and almost impossible to stop reading or listening. And that I’m constantly using in any tale I tell. Just like how some of the world’s top copywriters, moviemakers, and even my millionaire kid Youtuber mentors, use them too.
To draw people in…
… and keep them going non-stop…
… like a buffet of your favorite chips, chocolate, cookies, and cake + coffee.
Anyways:
Do you have stuff you want to sell, or resell?
An old sofa? A couch? Old equipment or electronics? Useless trash and trinkets you have lying around the house? A car? A house? Maybe even a mouse? PLR you have lying around? Old products you can pull outta the woodwork? Or new products you made with Claude Code? Maybe even just your time? Some services you need clients for?
Regardless:
If you wanna craft simple ‘stories’ to get more profit out of anything you want sold…
… just sprinkle some of these word-hacks in for…
… probably the fastest, easiest way I know of to make your content, copy, stories, stuff… and even garbage…
… sell at a higher premium!
But only for the next 36 more hours. After which, it closes.

P.S. A sneak peak of the ‘alchemic’ hacks you’ll find inside, for turning trashy text into gold:
- 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!
