| TWEET OF THE WEEK
Shady folks will continue to and have always taken advantage of the elderly.
Now it’s AI creatives, before that it was VSLs, before that it was tv ads and before that direct mail.
Not ideal, but sadly it’s the way of the black hat marketer.

🤔 Epic Amazon Listing Breakdown
Ever seen an Amazon listing so perfect it hurts? I just tore one apart—and found exactly what separates the “just good” from “market-dominating.” This isn’t theory. It’s practical.
Here’s what you’ll pick up:
• How a hero image can whisper “buy me” before you even read the bullets
• Keyword trickery inside the copy that brandishes authority without shouting
• Why a “charity partner” mention might be your secret weapon vs. Chinese competition
• Sneaky visual and FAQ layout choices that seem “nice to have”—but are actually profit multipliers
If you want the behind-the-curtain breakdown nobody else is showing, you’ll want to click through and see the full anatomy of this listing. Read the full epic breakdown before your competitors even wake up.
