I legit thought more people would find this helpful and useful. I guess Beehiiv is a bit too niche specific? Well, I have full length tutorial and this platform is awesome if you're looking to launch a weekly newsletter. Not ideal for content marketing, but you could achieve that to a degree with their automation. Anyway checkout the full length tutorial if you've not done so.

DeepSeek is interesting and complex on so many levels. Stacks up quite well to ChatGPT and Claud AI.

Amazon Site Stripe will stop supporting images natively. You have a few weeks to take action so get on it!
You can still create images with the API or a WordPress plugin like AAWP or Lasso. If you have an approved account, I strongly suggest you apply for API access now as all keys take 48 hours upon creation to start working.
Once you create your public and private keys, you'll need to use something called "scratch pad" to generate images. There's a link in your Amazon Associates dashboard in the footer.
AHere is the message:
On December 1, 2023, two of the SiteStripe features “Image” and “Text+Image” will no longer be available. Links created on your site using Image and Text+Image will stop working December 31, 2023. Please remove them from your content as soon as possible if you have not already done so to avoid broken images on your site. Please note that standard text links from SiteStripe will continue to be available and work appropriately.
They also removed product display ads back in September. I wonder what the reason is behind removing all these tools for creators.
I want to emphasize that your product images will stop working if they were created with Sitestripe. So you need to either a) use a plugin with API access like AAWP or b) apply for API access and recreate all images (oh fun).

Have you seen my latest tutorial? The Twenty Twenty Three theme is quite good for building out a website for a blog or small business website:

Been traveling the last month and it's totally messed up my schedule for releasing videos. However, I've been at work on my products, email list and blog. Anyway, I'm back home so expect new videos regularly from here on out.
The whole "digital nomad thing" is overrated FYI.
Unless you're a travel content creator and you get paid to make travel content, I simply can't be 100% productive moving around every few weeks.

Well I'm trying to get a new tutorial out for Monday, but my Bluehost account is blocked here in Vietnam. So I got to pivot to a different video idea and wait till I get back to Bangkok to finish up the new WordPress website tutorial I have planned.
Quite annoying, they need to fix this because there are expats who use Bluehost.

I just wrapped up my trip to Kuala Lumpur Malaysia, and Jakarta Indonesia. I'm very surprised by how similar Jakarta is to Saigon.
Anyways, I'm back in Saigon for a few weeks visiting friends (my second home) and will be getting straight to work on a bunch of videos, blog posts, and courses.
