realme 7 Pro: Value for money?

The realme 7 Pro comes as an upgrade to its already competitive successor, the realme 7

The smartphone market seems to be getting increasingly competitive -- not only in an attempt to introduce next gen features for the users, but to accommodate all these advanced features in an affordable model. With “value for money” being a core driving force behind the design of many renowned brands, the latest phone in the realme family -- the realme 7 Pro -- stands as a worthy competitor.

The realme 7 Pro -- priced at just under Tk30,000 -- comes as an upgrade to its already competitive successor, the realme 7. However, as goes for most “Pro” versions of smartphone models, the upgrades more than make up for the higher price.

First impressions:

The realme 7 Pro comes with a 65W SuperDart USB type C cable charger, a pre-installed screen protector, and a generic silicone phone cover. The dual-sim tray is placed on the left, above the volume buttons, while the right side of the phone houses the power button. At the bottom, we find the USB type C charging port, the stereo speakers, and -- a real relief -- a 3.5mm headphone jack, that many high-end smartphone models have abandoned in the last few years.

The phone comes in two colours -- Mirror Silver and Mirror Blue. The design very much resembles that of the realme 7, with the two-toned reflective surface adding to the chicness of the phone. The semi-matte finish doesn’t allow for incredibly vivid fingerprints, either. Overall, this model looks and feels elegant.Shot on realme 7 Pro

Tech-geek details:

The realme 7 Pro includes a 6.4” Super AMOLED full-screen display, which is an upgrade from the IPS LCD screen of the non-pro version of this model; the display is protected with Corning Gorilla Glass 3+. With a Snapdragon 720G processor, this phone operates on Android 10 as well as the built-in realme UI, providing a plethora of customization options for a more personalized experience. Users also get an internal storage of 128GB for both the 6GB and the 8GB RAM.

The 4500 mAh battery on the 7 Pro, considering the affordability of the brand, is an unexpected yet incredibly welcome addition. The 65W SuperDart charger promises 100% battery in 34 minutes -- a claim I was excited to put to the test, and I was not disappointed. A perfectly timed 35 minute YouTube video later, I came back to the (previously drained) phone fully charged.

The Sony sensor powered 64MP quad camera allows for a wide angle option, followed by an ultrawide option, a 2x, and a 5x. The camera quality is enhanced by the Sony sensor, and an added benefit considering the price point. The 32MP selfie camera placed at the upper left corner of the phone not only delivers high contrast, detail specific images, but also does not become an inconvenience while using the phone for other purposes.

The verdict:

The Super AMOLED display facilitates an elevated viewing experience for the user, with amplified vibrance and clarity. The stereo speakers also add to the experience, making watching videos on your phone a much more enjoyable activity.

Shot on realme 7 ProThe 7 Pro employs all the latest security options, with the pin code, facial recognition, and an on-display fingerprint sensor. The phone also recommends enabling both facial and fingerprint recognition, to ensure maximum security. Both these features are swift, with little to delay. The fingerprint sensor periodically lights up on the screen, however, which could be seen as an inconvenience until one gets accustomed to it.

The SuperDart charger, on the other hand, is what I appreciate the most about this phone. The animation that comes up once the charger is plugged in showcases, in real time, the speed at which the device is charging. Although not necessarily an essential feature, it sure does make the experience much more exciting.

The overall performance of the phone is commendable, to say the least. The realme 7 Pro, with its speed, user-friendliness, and advanced features, paired with the competitive price, could, just maybe, give the higher end brands a run for their money.

During the last days, many articles have been published across Europe about the role of pro-Kremlin disinformation in COVID19, relaying the findings of the EEAS Stratcom. Yesterday, a tweet by Euronews distorted the words of the Vice-President of the European Commission Vera Jourová by writing that the EU had identified pro-Kremlin sources as the “architects” of COVID-19 disinformation.

While there is no doubt that pro-Kremlin media have in some instances shared biased information, there is absolutely no evidence that these outlets are the “architects” of the massive disinformation around the coronavirus. Additionally, we strongly believe that the European Commission has put too much emphasis on pro-Kremlin disinformation in this context. While we appreciate the work of the EEAS and EUvsDisinfo and believe this work is necessary, it should be made clear that their mandate is to look into pro-Kremlin disinformation, and when only looking at it, the conclusions drawn can be biased and cannot be taken as reflective of the global picture of disinformation. Exposing malicious disinformation campaigns from state actors is a very important task, but this shouldn’t dominate our perception of the fight against disinformation, which is a far wider issue requiring multiple responses. Uncovering malicious behaviour from state actors is only one facet of disinformation.

While some disinformation can be attributed to non-EU states, sometimes disseminated directly via their political leaders (e.g. China, USA, Brazil), an overwhelming majority of the disinformation and misinformation we are observing is intra-EU and intra-member state, with different motives such as politics and money-making to name a few, which has been acknowledged on several occasions by Vice-President Jourová. Soon, we will publish more information about the varieties of disinformation.

If we seriously want to tackle disinformation, we deeply believe that we should look at it as it is, not as we think it could be. Attributing disinformation without sufficient evidence, or with a restricted lens, can cause more harm than good, and we should not be blinded by the current blame game between countries and institutions. Such incomplete coverage is, in fact, fuelling pro-Kremlin disinformation. We would also not be surprised to see this op-ed covered and distorted by pro-Kremlin media in the next days. Only a few days ago, research by Reframing Russia was then captured by RT to dismiss any kind of pro-Kremlin disinformation, using the title of “No Covid-19 fake news on RT, EU accusations are ‘problematic’ – UK watchdog”.

We therefore invite everyone in the EU institutions – and the media covering them – to be extremely cautious with attributing disinformation in order to avoid fuelling counter-narratives which are often more impactful – even more so when (partly) justified.

There's New Information on Who Braeson's Baby Daddy Is on 'Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant'

Nov. 5 2019, Updated 7:21 p.m. ET

In the Teen Mom spinoff Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant, we were introduced to Brianna Jaramillo and her son, Braeson. At the time of Braeson's birth, there was no biological father listed, but Brianna's then-boyfriend Danae had decided to raise the child as his own.

But since the split of Brianna and Danae, there are more questions than ever about who Braeson's biological father is. And this new season just might give us insight as to who it actually is.

Article continues below advertisement

Who is Braeson's father on Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant? It might be a guy that Brianna hooked up with once.

In a new episode of Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant, we see Brianna grappling with a myriad of daddy issues — hers and Braeson's.

Throughout the season, we saw that Braeson had clung to Danae as his daddy, but then after he left he also clung to Brianna's new boyfriend Robert. He, too, eventually split with Brianna.

This leaves Brianna in a sticky situation, where she wants to give Braeson the relationship with a father that she never had.

In the episode, Brianna gets a message from an old friend from high school. The friend said that since they hooked up during Brianna's break from then-beau Danae, that there was a possibility that he could be the father of Braeson.

While she was shocked, Brianna was willing to admit the possibility, and said that she will take a paternity test to reveal the identity of Braeson's father.

But Brianna's mom was not so happy to hear about this potential new father.

“It disturbs me that you were just having unprotected sex,” she told her daughter. “I thought you knew who the dad was but now it's like, ‘Oh there’s somebody else?’ I’m really shocked by this. It makes me worried about you and your self-worth.”

These are hard words to hear from mom, and Brianna admitted that the hookup was "dumb."

“I will die if he is the dad," she said. "because I was 100 percent sure he was not. And I still don’t think he is, but whatever.”

Article continues below advertisement

Brianna is going to therapy to deal with her own daddy issues.

The birth of her son Braeson has led Brianna to want to reconnect with her own father, who has been largely absent from her life. The last time the two of them spoke was when Braeson was born, but she's hoping to rekindle the relationship.

She discussed this possibility with her therapist during the episode, but her therapist warned her not to get her hopes up.

Her mom also had some words of caution, as she doesn't think it'll end well.

“I worry about your expectations,” she said. “And I have zero faith that he is going to come through in any way for you.”

But Brianna is insistent on at least trying.

"I only want the best for Braeson, with or without his grandfather... But it’s worth a try. 🤞 I’m reaching out to my dad on tonight’s @TeenMom: #YoungAndPregnant at 9/8c @MTV!" Brianna said in a post on Instagram.

How to Make Trapped Toy Soaps

Why not try Hobbycraft's super soaps which have a hidden small toy and a sprinkling of biodegradable glitter inside for extra fun while washing! Making soap is incredibly easy and perfect to make with kids. The toy inside could be adapted for all different occasions, they make fabulous gifts, party favours and of course make bath time a whole lot more fun!

Step 1

Grease the soap moulds with Vaseline and add a small sprinkling of biodegradable glitter and place in the toys.

Step 2

Roughly 250g (a quarter of the tub) of the soap base will make enough soap for the three moulds. Chop up 250g into cubes and place in a microwaveable bowl.

Step 3

Place in the microwave and heat at 30 second intervals stirring as you go, once completely melted pour into the soap moulds and sprinkle over a small amount of glitter to finish. Leave for a couple of hours to set.

Step 4

Loosen the edges of the mould and then push out the soap.

Given (2019)

Tightly clutching his Gibson guitar, Mafuyu Satou steps out of his dark apartment to begin another day of his high school life. While taking a nap in a quiet spot on the gymnasium staircase, he has a chance encounter with fellow student Ritsuka Uenoyama, who berates him for letting his guitar's strings rust and break. Noticing Uenoyama's knowledge of the instrument, Satou pleads for him to fix it and to teach him how to play. Uenoyama eventually agrees and invites him to sit in on a jam session with his two band mates: bassist Haruki Nakayama and drummer Akihiko Kaji.

US banks and financial services intitutions under pressure

A short look over the news from the last 6 months shows that the US banks have received hits after hits. Almost all of them reported huge losses on the subprime crisis:

Citibank was among the first when the bank announced on Nov 5th, 2007, losses of US$ 11 billion based on its subprime exposure. In the first quarter of 2008, these losses were confirmed to be at US $ 9 billion, with the threat of other substantial losses in Q2 (which until today failed to materialize). Two months later Societe Generale, a French banking giant, announced a US$ 7 billion loss on its trading operations, which was again hitting hard the banking market.

Merrill Lynch reported mortgage-related losses and write-downs totaling $24.4 billion in 2007

Then on June 17th Lehman Brothers announced its first ever loss since its public listing of US$ 2,8 bln, based on the US$ 3,7 bln write downs on the 2nd quarter. Of course its shares went down on this announcement to $27, below their bok value of $ 33. And the story goes on and on, without an ending foreseen for the incoming future…

Lehman Brothers Inc analyst Jason Goldberg said the largest U.S. banks could post $79 billion of credit losses this year, 30 percent more than he had previously forecast and more than twice the year-earlier level, with many of the problems stemming from the real estate.

Across the debt and equity markets in the United States, both the numbers and sizes of the deals (by which the financial servies are measured) were down on the year before — in some cases dramatically.

 High-yield debt issuance was down 59 percent on the first half of 2007 and deal size was down 68 percent. Investment grade issuance was also down close to 50 percent, although total deal size for the first half of the year — at $4.8 billion — fell only just short of the $5.25 billion this time last year. IPOs, meanwhile, picked up somewhat on the first quarter, but with only 14 deals this quarter, activity is still at multi-year lows.

All these bad news are reflected in the Financial Times rankings for the 2007, where 7 out of the top 10 banks and financial services companies dropped both in ranking and in market capitalisation:

Rank US rank 2008 US rank 2007 Name Sector Market value $ m
1 10 6 Bank of America Banks 168.404
2 12 14 JP Morgan Chase Banks 145.881
3 22 4 Citigroup Banks 106.696
4 28 18 Wells Fargo Banks 95.937
5 34 31 Goldman Sachs Financial Services 65.480
6 45 50 U.S. Bancorp Banks 55.975
7 49 24 Wachovia Banks 53.514
8 51 46 American Express Financial Services 50.544
9 52 32 Morgan Stanley Financial Services 50.512
10 56 102 Bank of New York Mellon Financial Services 47.629

 Given the current losses outlook which most of the analysts put away on public for these top 10 US banks and financial institutions, would not reccomend buyng such shares for those with a weak stomach. The risks are very high and although the current share prices are quite low, we might not have seen the worst yet. However, the biggest hits have been already taken onboard on our humble opinion, unless there are more things we don’t know about…

So what does this doitinvest analysis mean for your investing strategy? First of all don’t jump at buying shares from the bank sector just because the shares look undervalued. Look carefully at the news and try to make some sense of them.

Secondly, if you are risk avers, stay away of the bank and financial services US shares for the moment. They are quite volatile…

Weekly Reader: Summer Express (Between Grades PreK & K) Workbook (Paperback)

Weekly Reader: Summer Express (Between Grades PreK & K) Workbook Cover Image
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days

Give children a head start in school! This colorful, fun-filled workbook is designed to reinforce skills through engaging activities. With more than 100 curriculum-based pages–arranged in a progressive, 10-week format–targeting handwriting, alphabet and number recognition, reading, phonics, math, and more this book will help prepare preschoolers for kindergarten. A summer’s worth of great learning from the trusted editors of Weekly Reader!

Praise For…

"This book is broken down into 10 weeks. It lays out what to do each day of the week. I would say it is more of a review book than an intro book. It covers math and phonics. It has the answer pages in the back. It also has a cute certificate of completion and has a page of star stickers to use as incentives. Each week has an incentive chart where you can put their stickers. The pages are full color, but are matte, so they are easy to write on. Each week is color coded. You will likely have to sit with your child as they do this workbook, but the amount of work each day isn't much, so it is easily doable. There are also tips in the front of the book for more ideas on getting the ready for the next school year. We homeschool, so we are using this book as an end of the year summary, rather than a summer readiness program. It works well for either." --Lindsey

Provided via Amazon Vine

"During the summer months, kids forget so much of what they have learned during the school year. This book is awesome! It will be a great tool to use this summer to get my preschooler ready for the next school year. This book is intended to be used on a daily basis, with different activities for the day. There is also a sticker progress chart for the week and as well as an award certificate for when the book is finished. The activities are fun and engaging so the little ones look forward to doing them and don't realize that they are learning, just having fun. There is also an answer key in the back of the book. I really look forward to using this once school lets out!" --Allyson

"This book is a great help for me in teaching our daughter at home. It helps me get her ready for Kindergarten and also helps her retain the information she is learning in Kindergarten.

The pictures are colorful and eye-catching - she was drawn to the book when she saw it. And the activities seem fun for her, for the most part.

I would recommend this book. :)" --Angela Reads

"As a child I used to love receiving my Weekly Reader during the summer! This is much more robust, full of color and many activities to stimulate and reinforce counting, alphabet, writing and other topics. Fun for a rainy day or for some quiet time! Perfect for my grandson as he transitions from PreK to K." --Cabushka

"Our daughter is 3, going on 4, and headed to her second year of Pre-K next year. We were looking to continue to challenge her throughout the year, and prepare her for another year of Pre-K with reading and writing. We've been very pleased with these books.

- Varied activities - from circling items, to writing, to finding things in pictures, she's challenged in many different learning styles and activities.

- She loves the stars at the beginning of each chapter. Each week, she gets a card full of sticker stars, and every day, she gets to affix her new stars to her chart.

- She can do these by herself, with minimal oversight / instruction. Most things are pretty clear.

- Some of the challenges are too easy or too hard for her. I think overall, the skill level is right, but she's a year young for this, so that may play into it.

- No others- we've been very happy with this." --Jason Stokes

"This is perfectly suited for ages 4-5. For kindergarten prep, your child will be well ahead of the class.

These activities are terrific. The pages rip out if you want. They are numbered with a calendar, so you can do 2 activities per day (1 sheet, front & back) for 10 weeks. Enough for the summer break. But frankly we do about 5-10 exercises per day (sometimes a whole weeks worth in 1 day), so for us they go fast.

The star stickers are great - you get one star every day on the calendar, and little certificates when you complete a week. Really well designed, love them. Great gift idea if you're a grandparent.

The first few pages are a bit simple, but they get more challenging just a few pages in. I only wish they made more than one book per level because we are going through it so fast..

We've been attending a Waldorf school, which ignored common core, and is very light on traditional academic skills the first few years. So we do a lot of these kinds of workbooks for supplementation at home. Most of them are hit or miss, even the big brands. Weekly Reader is definitely one I recommend. Also Sylvan makes great age-appropriate workbooks that are fun for kids." --Mad Max

"This "Summer Express" is loaded with activities that give grandchildren a chance to show off for grandma! It's also something that we can do together - and a wonderful excuse to sit down for some quiet time! I like the division into weeks - it gives grandma an opportunity to create a routine and keep interest fresh. If you have grandchildren visiting this summer, stock up with books and activity books like these!" --Barbara McArthur

"We absolutely love this activity book for our toddler son. Not only it makes learning a fun experience with colorful and fun-to-do activities with handy tips for new parents like us on how to make it engaging for your child ..But it also makes it a rewarding and something to look forward to for your child with its reward based teaching methodology with daily Star stickers that have to be earned, Weekly completion certificates and a grand 10-Week course completion certificate. Our son is so proud of them & shows them to our visitors !

- The entire set of activities in the book are organized to be introduced over a ten week period with daily tear-away activity sheets with two activities per day

- Each day's activity sheet introduces a new learning topic which grows in complexity (for young kids) starting from simple matching the shapes moving on to writing, math and sounds

- The sheets are made of strong glossy paper, yet its good enough for using crayons for some of the coloring activities

- We loved the helpful tips and tibits for parents at the start of the book and at the beginning of each week's activities

- Comes with 120 Star incentive stickers which are more than sufficient for the 10 week's set of activities (which require 100) and leave some room for extra rewards when your child is extra 'nice'

- Comes with a complete answer key, luckily our little one hasn't wised up to it yet :)

We cant recommend this book enough to ALL parents whose children are getting ready for Pre-K as it makes learning a fun & rewarding experience with excellent content to boot. In fact just the other day I was listening to a newscast on 'All Things Considered' on NPR Radio about the state of New York's plans to introduce free Pre-K education to all 3 Year olds because there is proven science that early learning not only improves a child's ability to succeed in school/collage but studies have found that early learners had higher paying jobs much later in their lives as well. That alone is nothing compared to the price of this book. Highly Recommended" --Farhan K

Subtle Medical awarded breakthrough patent for reduced contrast agent dosage in medical imaging exams

Press releases may be edited for formatting or style | May 04, 2021 Artificial Intelligence CT Health IT MRI Ultrasound X-Ray
MENLO PARK, Calif., May 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Subtle Medical, Inc., a leading healthcare technology company using artificial intelligence (AI) to improve the speed and quality of medical imaging, announced the issuance of U.S. Patent No. 10,997,716 for their licensed innovative software that uses deep learning to drastically reduce contrast dosage needed during contrast-enhanced medical imaging exams. The patent was invented by Drs. Greg Zaharchuk and Enhao Gong prior to co-founding Subtle Medical and is based on technology exclusively licensed from Stanford University. This marks another milestone in Subtle's mission to accelerate universal access to faster, safer, and smarter medical imaging.

Equivalent image quality shown after 90% contrast dosage reduction with SubtleGAD
SubtleGAD's ability to reduce gadolinium dosage by 90% addresses real safety and liability concerns

Servicing GE, Philips and Siemens CT equipment with OEM trained engineers

Numed, a well established company in business since 1975 provides a wide range of service options including time & material service, PM only contracts, full service contracts, labor only contracts & system relocation. Call 800 96 Numed for more info.

Contrast agents are routinely used in over 100 million medical imaging exams each year, including MR, CT, and Ultrasound, to improve the visualization of anatomies and possible pathologies. "This patent recognizes our AI software as a fundamentally new solution that can significantly improve the visualization before and after contrast administration with lower doses of contrast than are currently used," said Enhao Gong, PhD, Co-founder and CEO of Subtle Medical. "As a result, significantly reduced contrast agent dosage can be used to obtain diagnostic information in medical imaging, enabling safer exams for patients worldwide."

Subtle Medical's vendor-neutral software derived from the patented technology, SubtleGAD™ (currently in the investigational phase), uses proprietary deep learning (DL) algorithms to achieve equivalent diagnostic image quality using only 10% of the gadolinium contrast dose when compared to MRI images conducted using the full dose. When lower gadolinium dosage is administered for any reason, SubtleGAD™ software can improve image quality, diagnostic accuracy, and lesion detectability.

The ability to reduce gadolinium dosage by 90% when combined with SubtleGAD™ software addresses real and perceived safety and liability concerns for patients and imaging institutions around the long term effects of Gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) used in contrast-enhanced MRI procedures.

Lowering contrast dosage has the potential to benefit tens of millions of patients, including pediatric and neonatal patients, as well as patients with chronic neurological diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS) who have frequent contrast-enhanced MRI exams. Other potential applications include breast MRI studies, used for screening and diagnostic studies in patients with dense breasts, patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) or marginal kidney function issues who cannot currently undergo full-dose contrast-enhanced MRI, and other patients with concerns about gadolinium retention in the body.

Array of Microphones Provides Unprecedented Sound Quality and Eliminates Unwanted Ambient Noise
As two of the music industry’s most respected and in-demand sound engineers, Eddie “El Brujo” Caipo and Brad Divens have worked with some of the world’s biggest recording artists. From small intimate theatres to large outdoor stadiums, Caipo and Divens are known for delivering incredible audio quality to both the artist and the audience.

In order to capture that same kind of expansive sound for Latin pop rock superstar Enrique Iglesias’ current tour, the duo relies on microphones from DPA Microphones.

“Brad and I have been on tour with Enrique Iglesias and heard a lot of great things about DPA Microphones,” says Caipo. “When we were offered a demo package to try out the company’s mics, we were thrilled. We were both immediately blown away by the sound. The quality is above and beyond anything we were using in the past. It was immediately obvious that there was no going back to our existing equipment, and we have been using DPA ever since.”
For the Enrique Iglesias tour, Caipo handles mixing monitors and Divens serves as FOH engineer. They are using DPA d:facto™ Vocal Microphones on the backup singers, d:vote™ 4099D Instrument Microphones on the congas and percussion, and the d:dicate™ 2011C Cardioid Microphone specifically for the snare drum.

“Enrique’s background singers stand next to the drum kit, so there was a lot of bleed in the mics we had been using before,” says Divens. “With the d:facto™ Vocal Microphones in place, that is no longer an issue. Because of the tighter pattern, we have less bleed or unwanted ambient noise issues from drums and percussion into the mics. The mics are clean, present and sit right in the mix. They don’t pick up anything but the amazing voices of the background singers, and that’s exactly what you look for in a vocal microphone.”

Caipo and Divens have also noticed the benefits the DPA microphones provide for EQing. “I find that I can put back some EQ that I would normally cut out, especially in the low mid area,” says Divens. “The top end of these mics are so smooth that I find myself adding only a touch of air for some added presence.”
Since being introduced to DPA, Caipo and Divens have both become believers and plan on using them going forward. According to Caipo, “DPA microphones are truly amazing. They have turned into a secret weapon, but the secret is quickly getting out. I have a recording facility where I record a lot of acoustic instruments; mostly Nylon guitars and percussion, and I can’t wait to try the mics on those. I also have my eyes on the d:dicate™ 4011 Cardioid Microphone and the d:dicate™ 4006 Omnidirectional Microphone.”

Divens echoes Caipo’s sentiments. “DPA mics have performed flawlessly and will always be a part of any future project that I am involved in. I look forward to trying out the d:dicate™ 2011 and the d:dicate™ 4011 on other instruments. If you haven’t tried these microphones, do yourself a favour and check them out. You will not be disappointed.”

Water Conservation

This section of the website provides tips and information on how to conserve water inside and outside your home and/or office as well as The Commission’s Conservation Programs.

You can help the program achieve a 10% reduction in water use per person within 10 years by saving 10 gallons of water per day or start by saving 1 gallon of water per day every year for 10 years. Here are some ways you can accomplish that:

  • Reduce shower time ~ 2.5 gallons/minute
  • Turn off water while brushing teeth ~ 2 gallons/minute

Why Should We Conserve Water?

Water is constantly being recycled through the earth’s water cycle. However, humans can consume fresh water faster than it is naturally replenished. We all use water, so we should do our part to protect and preserve it. Approximately 3% of the earth’s water supply is fresh but less than one third of 1% is available for human use!

As water users, we must preserve our water supply so it will be available today and for generations to come. Water conservation allows us to use water more efficiently and reduce water waste. Making a habit of conservation makes sense.

Conserving water is beneficial to our community, because it:

  • Helps protect our water supply for the future
  • Protects the environment and natural ecosystems
  • Saves energy
  • Saves money

For more information about the water cycle, visit the US Geological Survey’s website.

Where Does Our Water Come From?

The Great Lakes are the largest system of fresh, surface water on earth, containing roughly 18% of the world fresh water supply. Lake Michigan is the second largest of the Great Lakes.

Nearly 750,000 people in DuPage County get their water from Lake Michigan, provided to them by their local water utility. The DWC buys water from the City of Chicago and sells it to the local water utilities in DuPage County. The people in DuPage County who do not get their water from Lake Michigan are served by ground water sources. The Great Lakes Compact limits how much water can be taken from Lake Michigan and requires all water utilities to have a water conservation program.

For more information on the Great Lakes Compact visit the websites for the Great Lakes CommissionCouncil of Great Lakes Governors, or Great Lakes and Saint Laurence Cities Initiative.

DuPage County Water Usage Summary

Before we can start to preserve every drop, we must first understand how much water we use and for what purposes. Water usage in DuPage County can be divided up into four main categories as shown in the figure.

Did you know?

gallons/person/day is the average daily water use for Lake Michigan water users in DuPage County.

Diary of a Drew University Student at Sea

Junior Hannah Primiano covers her oceanographic research

February 2021 – Drew University chemistry major Hannah Primiano C’22 is taking her research on the proverbial road. Or, rather, to the high seas.

Primiano in port in Honolulu, HI.

A Baldwin Honors and Civic Scholar, Primiano spent her summer participating in a virtual undergraduate research program with the Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences, analyzing data and microscope images from home. She was later invited to join a research expedition to see where the data she analyzed actually came from.

She worked with Drew’s chemistry department to fit the opportunity into her academic schedule, and has since hopped aboard the research vessel. She’ll be providing updates about her time at sea so we can follow her journey.

February 4 – Introduction

The R/V Roger Revelle left port on December 26 from Honolulu, HI, to go on a 60-day journey to the Southern Ocean. Scientists from Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Science, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences, Florida State University, and Scripps Institution of Oceanography came aboard to collect oceanographic data from multiple areas throughout the Pacific Ocean.

The Honolulu skyline as the ship departs the day after Christmas.

We began by collecting various types of data on a straight line from 30°S to 60°S. We will now sample eddies, swirling masses of water, and other features in the Southern Ocean before the ship begins making its way toward our final destination of Tahiti.

While each lab is looking at something different, from trace metals to nutrients to plankton distribution, all of the data will combine to help us understand how phytoplankton are affecting the chemistry of the ocean.

Phytoplankton in the Southern Ocean can condition or change the water by taking up nutrients and carbon dioxide, making them critical for nutrient availability and the global carbon cycle. Because of their impact, we are collecting various types of data to deepen our understanding of these phytoplankton and the role they play in the ecosystem. If you have any questions, feel free to send them to hprimiano@drew.edu!

February 11 – Celebrations

Researchers watch as the CTD is lowered into the water.

The Revelle traveled from Hawaii to 30°S to start collecting data. In the time it took to get to 30°S we celebrated Christmas and New Year’s. For Christmas, there was a white elephant gift exchange. On New Year’s Eve, we crossed over the international date line and, later that evening, the equator. Equator crossings are a big deal at sea, often involving games and challenges to “appease King Neptune” and ask him for safe passage into the other hemisphere.

The best celebration was 15 days into the trip. After five COVID tests, a 14-day hotel quarantine, and an additional 15 days of wearing masks on the ship, everyone was determined to be COVID-free, and we were allowed to roam about the ship without masks.

By this time, we had started collecting data. Data collection primarily comes from the rosette, a metal frame that carries big plastic bottles for collecting water. The rosette has sensors on it that collect data such as temperature, salinity, and density. We often call the whole rig the CTD, which stands for conductivity (salinity), temperature, and depth—three of the most important parameters for us to measure. We used a crane to lower it into the water.

Waves penetrate the hangar, soaking the team checking the samples.

The CTD sensors transmit the data as the whole apparatus descends, allowing us to decide where best to trip the bottles. The water collected from the CTD is used to measure many different properties of the ocean. In my lab, the water is generally filtered, and the filters are stored to be analyzed when we get back on land.

Being at sea means that you always have to be prepared to get a little wet. When the weather is bad or waves crash over the side of the ship, we bring the CTD into a hangar, but it is always possible to get wet even in the hangar. One of the Scripps marine chemists found out in an unconventional way. This being her last cruise, we celebrated her last CTD sampling by dumping water from the deepest bottles on her like a football coach after the Super Bowl. It was a fitting send-off for someone who has spent so many years at sea!

February 26 – The Things We Saw

Our trip went from Hawaii to the heart of the Southern Ocean, one of the most remote places on Earth. At one point during our trip the closest human beings to us were the astronauts on board the International Space Station as it passed overhead during its orbit. Just because there aren’t humans out there doesn’t mean that there wasn’t plenty to see at sea.

Some highlights of the things we saw in the Southern Ocean:

Whales — The first time we saw a whale we were outside recovering one of our instruments, and a curious humpback approached our ship. People ran outside into freezing cold weather in whatever clothes they had on, including pajamas and flip flops. On a separate occasion, a whole pod of pilot whales swam off the port side.

Icebergs — The first of several icebergs we passed on our journey was just a stretch of white on the horizon and difficult to see. As we continued on, we got close enough to some that we could see the waves crashing on them.
Birds — For a place so far from land, it is very weird to imagine how many birds actually live out here. We saw multiple types, from small petrels and prions to huge wandering albatross, which have the largest wingspan of any bird. We passed the uninhabited Malden Island that is now a protected area for seabirds. At one point around this island, there were about a thousand birds circling over our ship!

Phytoplankton — We passed through a huge bloom of phytoplankton on the way out of the Southern Ocean. During our first pass through this area a month earlier, there were only a few phytoplankton, but on the way back our sensors were reading five or six times the levels that we had seen before. We were very excited to see this because it was exactly what we were looking for!

March 8 – The Process

Researchers deploy the VPR.

The process of funding these types of cruises is long and difficult. The first proposal for this cruise was written in 2015 and was rejected. The second proposal, written in 2017, was eventually accepted. It included two cruises, the first of which was postponed due to ship engine problems, so they didn’t set sail until 2019. Now we are completing the last cruise six years after the original, rejected proposal!

Because it takes so long and is so difficult to get here — even without a pandemic — we are taking as many measurements as we can, which means that we have more instruments than just the CTD. In addition to collecting water from the CTD, we deployed several floats for SOCCOM and NOAA. These floats move up and down in the water column and send back all of the data that they’ve collected when they reach the surface.

Big John in action.

We also used the VPR (video plankton recorder) to get images of plankton in the water. To collect water from the CTD the ship has to be stopped, but the VPR is towed behind the ship and can collect similar data to the CTD.

We also collected data on the levels of trace metals, such as iron and zinc, in the water. Since the ship itself is made out of metal it is almost impossible to collect water without contaminating it with metal from the ship. That’s where Big John comes in. Big John is a small, Teflon-coated plastic board that sails far enough away from the ship to avoid contamination and collects water through plastic tubing. Big John is a favorite on board simply because of how small and delicate he is compared to the big ocean.

While we are working around the clock with all the different instruments, there is still a lot of downtime over the course of two months. We have spent a lot of time hanging out and playing games. We have had a cribbage tournament, a ping pong tournament, a Dungeons and Dragons campaign, poker nights, and lots of other games that we invented ourselves. Our cribbage tournament ended with a massive upset – the captain lost to a newbie cribbage player. It was the talk of the ship for days!

Episode #206 - Chris Orzechowski On The Quick & Dirty Gateway Drug Into the World of Copywriting - Drop Dead Copy
John McIntyre

Episode #206 – Chris Orzechowski On The Quick & Dirty Gateway Drug Into the World of Copywriting

Chris wanted to be a school teacher.

It took him precious little time suffering through 12-hour workdays to understand…

teaching school was NOT his future.

He started online by emulating his friend and mentor Zach Evanesh…

with a weekly podcast and blogging on strength and conditioning.

Trying to cut down the time curve, he began to focus on what he enjoyed doing best…

writing email.

The last five years he’s spent honing…

and expanding his copy skills.

Now he’s even back teaching.

Yet this time it’s email copy and client-getting skills.

He’s made all the mistakes getting his freelance copy career rolling so you don’t have to.

His students now snag retainer deals in mere weeks…

something it took him over a year to do.

Hence the value of a mentor.

Email Marketing Podcast Episode 206

Intro and outro backing music: Forever More by CREO

David Allan: Hey everybody welcome to another edition of the podcast I’m David Allan, we have a great guest for you today especially if you’re a copywriter – a freelance copywriter.

He’s been doing this for a while now he’s had some very public things we’ll get into here shortly I think which will be
interesting…Chris Orzechowksi, welcome to the show.

Chris Orzechowski: Thanks a lot. Super pumped to be here.

David Allan: yeah it’s really great to have you I sort of probably that’s how I became aware of you I think you had sort of a a public spat if you will with another copywriter who has been on the show in the past and it’ll be interesting to delve into the mechanics
of what actually happened here I think which will be illustrative I don’t know, cuz I don’t know really know how it exactly went down myself…

And then we’regonna jump into some talk about retainer deals structuring offers if you are a freelancer so people listen to this if you’re already in this maybe you can improve what you’re doing or if you’re looking to get into it you’ll get another perspective from
somebody who’s doing it.

Chris let’s just jump in with your origin story or your superhero origin story tell us how you got into email copywriting and so forth
and just where you were before…

Chris Orzechowski: Yeah, absolutely. so I like everyone else to know as a copywriter I actually started off as a teacher I wasn’t really sure what I wanted to do I was a wrestler in

and I knew I want to coach

wrestling so I was like okay I’m just

gonna go be a teacher I’ll coach

wrestling and let’s do that so as soon

as I started teaching I very quickly

realized that it wasn’t for me and I say

very quickly I realize like the very

first day I was like oh man I’ve made a

mistake I don’t know if I want to do

this I think I forgot something else to

do and at the time I had this guy that I

worked for on the side this guy’s a

Kevin Nash he was kind of like my mentor

growing up he’s a strength coach one of

the early publishers of strength

conditioning you know infoproducts of

courses and those kind of things and I

remember like watching him as I kind of

like grew up you know going to his gym

and like seeing all the stuff he was

doing online and he was like making

money on the internet I was like how the

hell does that work I was like what you

know what is this like how come this

dude just makes so much money like

selling all these things I was like what

you know I gotta learn more about this

whole world because I’m so enamored by

it so um I started kind of studying what

he was doing I actually started like

blogging and trying to do a very similar

like strand condition type thing like he

was doing you know using him as like my

model and it was kind of hard you know

it was very hard to get traction is very

hard to get started this is this years

ago but uh you know I started doing this

wrestling website and I have like this

weekly podcast on wrestling coaches

those articles I had an email list those

are any emails every single day and I

was like trying to sell affiliate

products know do all the stuff I wasn’t

really great at it I’m you know starting

to build a following get some traction

but after late you know eight months of

doing that not really making any money I

said okay this is taking a whole lot of

time um I think maybe what I should do

this whole online thing is pick the one

thing I like the most and that gives me

the most energy and just focus on that

and so I started looking all the

different options of the online

marketing landscape and the one thing I

really did enjoy the most was writing

emails to my list and the whole copy

aspect of it so I started doing some

research and apparently there’s these

people called copywriters who get paid a

shit ton of money to put words onto a

Google Doc and then saw about to a

client and I was like this is

like I can’t believe this is a real

thing like I can just write words and

then get paid for it get paid pretty

well for it so obviously we know it’s a

little bit more nuanced than that but I

was just so like intrigued by this idea

I said I’m gonna go super deep and just

become really really good at this one

thing and the reason I kind of chose

email marketing and email copywriting

was because out of all the different

types of copy that I could write you

know as a someone who had a day job you

know when I started off as a school

teacher I was doing my 12-hour days that

first year I was coming in two hours

early I was staying two or three hours

later I was also coaching wrestling so

like I didn’t have a huge amount of

mental bandwidth to sit there and be

like okay I’m gonna work on this 97 page

sales letter

you know like for some of these super

competitive spots right I just want to

write like 200 300 more emails and you

know I’ll do like one or two or three of

those every day and I’ll be good to go

so that’s kind of what I started doing

and past you know five five and a half

years that’s really what I put my focus

into that’s that’s very interesting

because that’s right around

I started as same time and listened to

your story is almost like staring into a

mirror for me slightly different sort of

origin story I did not have anyone to

model but you know I sort of uh I guess

I did in a way because I sort of found

out Gary Halbert it sold sold me

something something he wrote sold me so

he became sort of my model I guess in a

way but it’s fascinating to I’ve heard

of Zac of course anyone who’s been in

online marketing probably heard of him

before so that’s interesting that was

your your origin now we said we were

gonna talk about you know maybe we’ll

start with the offeror thing so when you

became a freelancer

I know I’ve always sort of like gone

back and forth on this what sort of ways

at the beginning did you try to offer

your services and and how has that sort

of evolved up until now

well it’s gotten a lot better and the

reason I say that is because I was just

not good like I sucked and I’m not

afraid to admit that I mean it took me a

very very very long time to figure out

how the structure offers how to pitch my

services I don’t even find the right

people and I shouldn’t talking to um you

know it took me probably a year and a

half of really like focused effort to

get that first paying client and then it

took me you know a long time after that

to really get steady work and it’s funny

there’s now like I you know I coach a

handful of freelancers people reach out

to me and ask me probably advertise it

but um you know I they get results in

like you know seven weeks one guy that

I’m working with got a retainer and in

like seven weeks another guy got one in

like twelve weeks I’m like Jesus Christ

I’m so jealous you guys because like you

know all my mistakes but I kind of just

did everything wrong like what I was

doing was I was you know sending direct

mail to local businesses which are just

do that to some you know get it by a

list and write a sales letter and send

to local businesses and I was sending

it’s like to look like each fax and like

you know the local pizza place like

these people don’t even know what the

hell a copywriter is what alone are they

gonna be willing to pay like five or ten

grand to someone you know so I just

wrong I was called emailing I was even

cold calling and that was humiliating as

I got the phone slammed on me like

dozens of times it just sucked like it

was just a grind because I just listened

to all these people who were using these

methods you know some of these methods

people talk about it might work if

you’re you know later on in your career

and you have experience and samples and

all these things but I I just tried

everything and learned tried everything

I rejected so many times and then

finally I started to meet people who

knew what the hell they were talking

about it kind of guided me in the right

so when I started doing once I started

going after number one people who knew

what a copywriter was number two who

actually wanted help with copy those are

like you know the two like stupidest

simple things but they made all the

difference in the world and then after

that it was just a matter of really you

know and this is kind of a latter part

of my journey I’ve just really got a

brand new earth understand that what are

these people’s problems and how can I be

the person that goes and it solves those

problems right because what I found is

you know before you make any kind of

offer you structure any type of deal it

always has to start with that problem

much like any sales letter any piece of

copy s to start with the problem right

like we’re always looking okay like what

problem does this product solve and

that’s where we start all over our

research and that’s what we based its

our hook around for ourselves our sales

letter our email or VSL or webinar

whatever we’re doing but then we’re

copywriters and we go and approach a

client we just say hey you want to pay

me to write copy and then like know that

sounds a burly shitty experience right

like who actually wants to go and pay

some writer that they’ve never met

thousands of dollars to get a Google Doc

with words on it like no one wants to do

that that’s not you know that’s not like

an attractive offer and that’s what

happens as most writers approach it that

way but what I and I did that for a long

time so I’m not saying I’m like there’s

only one I just figured this out after

failing so many times but I figured out

it’s like hey why don’t we just find out

what their problems is let’s look for

their pain points and figure out ways to

solve those problems and if we can solve

those problems usually when you solve

those problems they’re very profitable

experience to these clients and if we

could solve a problem make them a lot of

money then them turning around and

giving us money to do that the first

time then do that again again again make

you know it’s it’s a win-win situation

for both parties involved so that’s kind

of like the evolution of how I started

to think about all of these things

that’s that’s interesting I know I feel

the same way and that’s a great great

way you’ve put it because it’s true like

you know these are the things you learn

when you become a copywriter but often

they’re not you don’t apply them in the

same way as you’d apply them for

somebody who’s not yourself and so

things like what you’re gonna say who

you’re gonna put it in front of and

stuff is off them like the mistakes that

you make as a copywriter when you’re

trying to sell your own services yeah

and it’s funny actually got that from

then settle I was a member of his

newsletter and I you know one of the

perks of being a members newsletter

where you could ask them questions so I

reached out was like hey man like who

should I go after if I want to be an

email copywriter and he replied back and

he was like look for people who are

sending a lot of emails and I was like

Oh duh like yeah that makes sense right

like find someone if they’re doing this

you know they’re either doing a good job

or a bad job most companies they want to

approve everything that they want to do

anyway so that was very sage advice from

him which I’m very thankful for that

really you know kind of helped me pivot

in the right direction but um yeah it’s

one of those things like it’s just a

matter of finding people who have a

problem offering them you know what I

like to call a dream come true result

and then proving that you could actually

do it and then after that making it as

easy as possible to get started look if

you can you know identify all four of

those phases of your marketing you’ll

never go hungry you’ll have clients

lined up but it’s it’s at the beginning

and you don’t know I mean you’re

starting out it’s very hard to figure

out those things especially if you don’t

have a model to follow or especially if

you’re following the wrong advice or if

you’re going into your facebook newsfeed

to find value bombs and try to piece

together your marketing education that

way I’m very against that whole

philosophy I believe in you know finding

people who are at the top of their game

and learning from them and that’s what

I’ve tried to do on this I still

continue to do so I’m very big on that

yeah I think that’s a very important

point you’re making there’s like I’ve

always considered myself to a student of

students of students so it’s like you

got to put the your ego aside and

attempt to learn and they because you

can learn from base every situation

whether that’s a positive outcome or a

negative outcome in then you have to use

those almost like little mini parables

for yourself to move forward yeah I mean

I know for me personally I can only

speak for myself but I feel like the

deeper and deeper I go into this whole

copywriting marketing thing the less and

less I know you know it’s like more like

you you become aware of everything

around here like I know so little you

know but it’s a cool thing because

there’s just there’s there’s so many

thanks to the internet and thanks to

where the world is now there’s just so

much you know ability that you have such

an ability to learn so many different

sources and to really you know

it’s kind of cool like going from the

public education sector to what I would

now considering it’s like the private

education sector with you know a lot of

the clients I work with we we sell

information you sell coaching yourself

expertise we sell those kind of things

it’s really cool to see that you can pay

you could learn whatever you want right

like whatever skill you want to learn

you know you have an opportunity to buy

that knowledge and to apply that your

life and to transform your life that’s

kind of what I’ve done I have invested a

lot and uh that’s something I’m also a

huge on but yeah I mean that’s that’s

kind of what it takes now yes so like

maybe speak to like something else that

I get a lot of questions about that and

I’ve have my own opinions but what do

you say to people like I’m sure you get

the same questions which was like should

I knees down what me should I go after

these kind of nice questions that’s a

good question you know I’ve heard

arguments on both sides and it really

imma give it crap the answers say it

depends you know personally I know for

me my evolution I was like a general

copyright or I was like hey you pay me

and I’ll write your copy and then I was

like maybe I’ll just focus on emails

because that’s what I really like and it

seems like there’s a need for that and

once I started doing that jobs that

easier and easier and then I kind of

switched my niche to you know I started

getting an ex to do LAN launches and I

became this like a lunch operator that’s

still kind of what I do a lot now and

then you know all my clients to me the

launch is also started you never green

stuff so I’m starting to become known

now someone who could turn launches and

evergreen stuff so like I think number

one it’s a matter of picking something

and then just being okay with that

evolving over time because I know a lot

of people I know even for me now some

days when like oh I’m thinking about how

i market myself I’m kind of scared to be

like oh I’m gonna be the you know the

person who specializes this because as

soon as you say that to yourself you

start to think oh that’s the only thing

I can do and I can never do anything

else what if I six months down the road

I hate this and I want to change and you

sort of freak yourself out right and I

think a lot of people have that fear and

have that someone blocked but the way I

look at it it’s like it’s okay to pick

something start doing it and if you love

it then you’ll keep doing it and if you

don’t love it you’ll probably find a way

to pivot to something that you like a

little bit more in terms of the actual

nitty-gritty of like finding what you

want to do I’m a big believer and this

is just my personality everyone is not

like this so you don’t have to take this

advice but me personally I was always a

big believer that’s a lot easier to sell

when you niche down by

medium of what you’re selling rather

than the industry you know some people

like oh I write alternative health copy

and if you’re one of those a-listers

you’re at the top of the game and you

know there’s 10 or 12 companies and they

pass you around you just write controls

rolling them like yeah that’s probably

pretty cool but I knew for me starting

out I didn’t have this connections I

don’t have that experience so what I

said was I’m gonna niche down by the

medium I’m gonna become really good at

email that’s one thing right this one

kind of project because it’s very easy

for someone who’s a business owner to

turn around and you know I don’t know if

every business owners like man I really

wish I could find a writer who

specializes in you know I guess I guess

they do right like if someone’s like oh

you know I have a software business I

really wish I could find a copywriter

specialized in software and people

definitely say that I’m not saying they

don’t it’s probably pretty common they

say that but I think it’s also pretty

common that people say man our emails

really suck we need to find some look at

help this or man you know our web copies

just terrible does not think the kid I

rested at all we need to find some that

would help us with this so I almost felt

like it was easier for me to grasp to

kind of get started marketing myself

if I choose chose a medium and then I

could go really deep in that one

specific medium and the thing is it’s

like even with that you know people

still might have the fear of like oh I’m

just gonna do this one thing and what if

I want to write a facebook ad or what if

I want to write a video script like you

could do that stuff too

but I’ve always found this like yeah I

specialized an email and then clients

hire me to do that and they say hey can

you help us to and I say absolutely I

and then there’s project number two

number three number four number five

yeah I agree I agree completely because

I think that’s why I started with email

and continue to love to do email

probably the most is because it’s kind

of like I think of it as like a gateway

drug you’re a drug dealer you know it’s

like because email still has the highest

ROI there’s cost nothing to send an

email really but also it’s like a lot of

people are neglecting that side of

things and then it leads to

conversations about bitter things that

they may be neglecting or that aren’t

honed in sharply oh yeah – like with

email that by the way email the gateway

drug would be a great I also think I

mean I just know for me like I

especially when I started to shift my

focus to wanting retainer clients where

I get paid month after month after month

I knew that okay all these clients like

what’s the one thing they’re going to

always need right like they might have a

webinar that converts or a control ad

that converts and/or for their main

products right and maybe they make small

changes but they’re not overhauling that

but the one thing they’re always going

to need month after month probably we

have to read sometimes day after day is

they’re gonna need more emails right

and they’re probably not gonna want to

write them all themselves and sometimes

it’s a matter of they don’t know how to

do it themselves so they need to bring

in you the specialist or sometimes it’s

they need an ass in the seat because

they don’t have the bandwidth to do it

themselves and they need someone to fill

that role

so yeah just like you’re saying I always

found that was my way to get the foot my

foot in the door and that’s kind of like

one of my first retainer clients that’s

how I started I started just doing email

stuff I started like rewriting affiliate

emails for our list and it was kind of

like you know the grunt work but then

there was another copy right in front of

me there’s one company and he ended up

leaving to pursue some other some other

things in life and they were like oh we

need to find something to write all the

front-end front-end acquisition stuff

and I was like hey I can do it I know

this company I know the market you know

I know the products me and then I

started to write to be a script the

sales pages working the webinars and I

started working the Facebook ads and all

the other stuff so yeah it’s the perfect

gateway because people that’s a need

that they will always have and he knows

never gonna go away I don’t care what

anyone says it’s just not even if they

put computer chips and our brains I

don’t think it’s right there’s some

place where that’s private that’s your

own stuff that you sign up for you know

it is the perfect gateway you know most

people most business owners because they

have their what they do best they’re

they’re usually especially if they’re

serious they’re usually good at like

delegating to something that somebody

else does best and they want like the

best you know they want to form a team

of like best at certain things and they

don’t want to waste their time doing

what they’re not the best at let’s talk

more about retainer deals and stuff

because now I’m certainly like that now

and it sounds like you are maybe let’s

talk a bit about how you go about doing

that the way you sort of present it and

so forth yeah absolutely so real quick

the way I define a retainer is you know

just a job where you get the point to

say yes one time and they keep paying

you over and over again and I’ve really

started to shift my business toward that

model not for every client you know

was obvious I’m always evolving and

Everett operators in the bobbum but when

I was trying to leave my teaching job I

realized that I needed recurring income

because you know I had a mortgage I had

a life

I couldn’t just be like hey I’m just

gonna take this big risk and hopefully I

get some gigs you know it’s like no I

needed to check at least one check

coming in every single month and you

know it’s just nice to have that

stability so what I started doing was

saying how could I be the person who

fulfills that role on the team and how

could I be the person who doesn’t have

to how do I be that kind of copywriter

who every time I do a project I don’t

have to spend hours and hours and hours

of research and learning a new market

and learning a new company structure and

learning about the client their origin

story and learning all about the

business right because that’s that’s the

most exhausting part for most writers

like that’s the part a lot of people

like is the research stuff right about

what happens when you’re doing just

one-off gigs over and over and over

again is that you know half of your time

to spend doing all the administrative

onboarding off-boarding stuff it’s been

doing the market research and doing all

those other things with retainer client

you even spend most of your time writing

which is what most of us got into this

game to do anyway right everyone wants

to write they want to get results they

want to test campaigns they want to try

all that cool stuff but it’s very hard

to you know wedge yourself into a

company like that if you’re only gonna

stick around for a week to do a job and

then you’re out so I started really just

focusing on getting those kind of

clients and I found is number one the

people who are ready to hire a retainer

client you usually make more money and

you know some people reach out to me and

they say hey you know I got this client

you know I want to pitch then a retainer

what should I do I say okay let’s look

at the numbers right like how much

revenue is this client making and they

say although client was making you know

three hundred fifty grand a year

I say well they’re not how much they’re

gonna pay you right like what I’m gonna

pay you five grand a month I can pay you

you know one sixth of their Copland

pre-tax pre expense revenue like of

course not all right so the numbers just

don’t work out there so you start to

think okay who are the companies that

have will hire writers on retainer and

what I found it’s not a blanket

statement I’m sure there’s someone we’re

not an example right but I’m just

generally speaking usually they’re gonna

be a seven eight nine figure company

right those the kind of companies who

have the resources they have the

infrastructure and and more importantly

they have

proven offers right to get to that level

right company can’t just be like hey we

got this thing selling well and I hope

it works next month but we don’t you

know like a company by that time they’re

proven they know they’re things selling

right and they know that they’re scaling

up they’re optimizing they’re doing all

my doing

you know CRO they might be split testing

they’ve been doing all the stuff and now

they need someone to fulfill that role

because maybe that was the CEO before

maybe that was the marketing manager and

me now they’re growing the team so those

kind of clients are the best for me I

think that’s a perfect example is going

about going after the right people it’s

like who can afford to pay your retainer

deal I mean that’s a big deal you can’t

find just like Joe Blow local guys that

probably got hakama before that unless

they’re like to say making over seven

eight nine figures and so you got to be

smart about who you target and yeah I’m

with you on the starting from scratch I

mean you’re trying to catch lightning in

a bottle and I’ve done that myself and

people you know some people I think are

delusional when they come to you they

thinking I mean there’s so much that

goes into that it’s not just as simple

as like you’re gonna write the copy

we’re gonna run some Facebook ads and

it’s like tada all this is gonna work

out for everybody you know yeah they’re

like lottery captive clients you know

they’re the ones who come to you and say

they and a lot of time when they’re good

people obviously like I’m not knocking

them but what their worldview or their

beliefs they over that well I understand

the important copy everyone tells me

conquer is important they’ll hear these

stories like I always you know there’s

that story about Jean Schwartz the guy

who found a boardroom a camera one’s

name is but he hired Jean Schwartz and

you know Jean wrote in this letter and

it launched this huge company that you

know it’s still around today and like

it’s a nice romantic story that doesn’t

happen every day right yeah definitely

happens but that’s lighting a bottle and

it’s very hard to do that very very hard

because it’s not just about the sales

lending right it’s not just about the

launch campaign it’s about the ability

for the owners of that company to have a

growth mindset and to have all the

infrastructure and the team and the

finance and all that stuff in place and

so it’s a much bigger equation than just

the copy so that’s why you know I’m just

so big on goat you know fishing in the

stock lake you know my my

family we used to have the Poconos and

there was this lake I remember and every

year we try to catch fish and there were

like there was like no fish in this lake

I eventually found out years later I

don’t get so pissed off for myself the

best of my dad just like listened me

like he’s like next year they’re stock

in the labor in catch some fish we did

right but all those years I was getting

so angry myself because we were going up

there and for hours I’d be standing out

there with my pole trying to catch fish

and there’s no fish in the freaking lake

right so people do that copiers do that

to themselves they get pissed off

because they’re like man I can making

Steel’s work I’m like look who you’re

talking to right like you’re talking to

people with no money and it’s not that

you know it’s nothing wrong I’m sure

they’re great people but if they don’t

have money to pay you then you’re

wasting your time talking with them

unless you’re you have got like

copywriting abilities and can make money

appear and I literally appear out of

thin air then yeah that can be a

profitable relationship but otherwise

you got to go to people who have money

and who want to hire someone who want to

pay someone to fill those roles now as

we wind down here let me give people

ways they can get touch with you work

with you you know what’s the best

situation in touch with Chris or

Zukowski yes so you can check out my

website it’s WWE male copywriter comm

or Zukowski it’s kind of a nightmare to

spell and you know my website so I chose

the email copywriter calm yeah

so I’m actually publishing a book on

email marketing should be done that’s a

couple weeks but that’ll be my new lead

magnet so if you have my list I’ll make

sure you get that
