A PhD Explains Why Everyone Feels Broke and How You Can Fix It.

 

I'm Rob Garcia, a PR and Vis Strategist in San Diego. 

I want to show you 2 things in this post. 

1. The variables affecting your income and money attitude 

2. How to change and uplevel 

I promise I'm not here to sell you anything, provide a "life changing opportunity" or any of that horseshit. 

I just want to help you to build a better life. 

At 48, I'm pretty happy. Never married, no kids, own a magazine and my own PR firm. Money is solid and I haven't had a boss in 8 years. I'm doing better than a lot of people and I don't mean financially. 

I have freedom. Time freedom, life freedom, and can afford things that I desire. I live in my dream apt in my dream city and nearly all my dreams have come true. Now Ill show you how to shape something similar if you are tired of living paycheck to paycheck. 

The reason most people are broke is because their chosen career path can't keep up with inflation. 

It's not rocket science. 

For those of you also living in Southern California, you are in an area that pays you lower wages and charges more for EVERYTHING. 

And guess what? Throw in kids, maybe an expensive divorce and that paycheck gets cut even further. 

That's the bad stuff. 

Now time for the good stuff. 

If you are open to something new, I want you to realize three things: 

1. The internet allows you to talk to over a billion people anytime you want. 

2. Creating something to sell can be free. 

3. Many business models are unbelievably simple and can keep generating money. 

I created something like 9 income streams and combined with my 2 companies, was able to get steady cash flow coming in regularly. 

Its up to you to take charge and try something that might make you uncomfortable. 

When you own a business, there IS NO INCOME CAP. 

I could literally go on FB, ask who wants to publish a book this year and probably get three people within 10 days that would pay me 8k to do it plus the PR. Thats 24k for about 6 months of work. (My last book took me NINE HOURS to publish so cut that down a bit. I'm kinda fast). 

Point is, there are a lot of services you can offer, even with a day job, that you can grow and use to bring in income. 

Membership FB group 

Youtube Interview Show 

Ebooks 

Courses 

Business Networking over Zoom 

Online Events 

Consulting 

Advertising on your magazine/podcast 

Social Media Graphics For Sale 

Know what these have in common? THEY ARE ALL FREE TO CREATE. No brick and mortar bullshit, no overhead, no costs. 

100% PROFIT. 

Anyone getting excited yet? 

Any subscription/membership is money coming in EVERY MONTH. 

Guys this isnt anything hard. I could've done this even before grad school. I just needed to know about it. 

Its time to take control of your life. Be an adult. (Its weird to get this advice from a guy thats almost 50 and still reading Iron Man comic books.) 

I'll be very honest with you. If you are the type that blames the government or the President for all your problems, you're ALWAYS going to be broke. 

That mindset is the loser's mindset. No accountability, no sense of self, no control over your own life. Why? Because its easier to make an excuse than a result. 

So ask yourself: Am I ready to be responsible and take a small chance? Or do I want to feel broke forever? 

I believe in you. You have a GOOD shot at something working out. Might not be the first time, might not be the second, but I assure you, determined people win. Period. 

Be a winner. Change your fucking attitude and get after your success. - Rob

CEO of Garcia Global Media: How Creatives Can Plan Ahead For TikTok's Possible Demise

 

Rob here, 

As a social media strategist, TikTok's pending demise looks pretty likely. Here is a guide for content creators to pivot strategies and relocate audiences to new apps that they have content on. 

Exploring Alternatives to TikTok for Short-Form Video Creators

With the looming possibility of TikTok’s shutdown in the United States, creators are understandably concerned about where to channel their creative energy and maintain their audiences. TikTok has been a dominant platform for short-form video content, but fortunately, there are several robust alternatives that creators can explore. In this blog post, we’ll highlight some of the best alternatives for short-form video creation, as well as free and user-friendly video editing tools to keep your content looking professional.

---

Alternatives to TikTok for Short-Form Video

1. Instagram Reels Instagram Reels has quickly become a favorite for creators who love short-form video. With its seamless integration into the Instagram platform, Reels allows users to create 15-90 second videos with access to Instagram’s vast music library and editing tools. The ability to share Reels directly to your feed or Stories makes it easy to reach both existing followers and new audiences through the Explore page.

2. YouTube Shorts YouTube Shorts is another strong contender, offering creators a platform for short, engaging videos of up to 60 seconds. Shorts benefit from YouTube’s robust recommendation algorithm, which can help your content reach a broader audience. Plus, creators already on YouTube can diversify their content by integrating Shorts into their channel strategy.

3. Clapper Clapper has emerged as a promising alternative to TikTok. This American platform focuses on creating a community-driven experience, allowing users to share videos, join groups, and monetize their content through features like livestream tipping. With a similar interface to TikTok, Clapper is user-friendly and offers a familiar experience for those transitioning from TikTok.

4. Snapchat Spotlight Snapchat Spotlight is designed for creators looking to share short, creative videos. The platform encourages unique content and even offers monetary rewards for top-performing videos. Snapchat’s youthful user base makes it a great platform for trends and experimental content.

5. Triller Triller is a music-focused short-form video app that emphasizes collaboration with artists and creators. It’s a solid option for creators who prioritize music-driven content and want access to editing tools that cater specifically to that niche.

---

Phone-Friendly and Free Video Editing Software

Creating professional-looking content doesn’t require expensive equipment or software. Here are some free and user-friendly video editing apps to enhance your short-form videos:

1. CapCut CapCut is a versatile video editing app designed for creators. It offers features like video trimming, transitions, text overlays, and a music library. Its intuitive interface makes it easy to create polished videos directly from your phone.

2. InShot InShot is perfect for editing short-form videos with features like filters, effects, stickers, and customizable text. It also allows you to adjust video speed, making it a favorite among creators for adding slow-motion or fast-forward effects.

3. VN Video Editor VN (VlogNow) is a professional-grade video editor with advanced features like multi-track editing, keyframe animations, and video transitions. It’s completely free and doesn’t watermark your videos.

4. Adobe Premiere Rush Adobe Premiere Rush is a simplified version of Adobe’s professional video editing software. It allows creators to quickly edit videos, add audio tracks, and export content for multiple platforms. While it has a premium version, the free version offers ample features for casual editing.

5. KineMaster KineMaster is another excellent editing tool that supports multiple video layers, blending modes, voiceovers, and chroma key effects. While some features require a subscription, the free version provides plenty of options for creating high-quality videos.

---

Tips for Transitioning to a New Platform

1. Notify Your Audience Let your followers know about your transition and where they can find your new content. Use TikTok’s bio and posts to share links to your profiles on other platforms.

2. Diversify Your Platforms Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Explore multiple platforms and see where your content resonates the most.

3. Optimize for Each Platform Understand the unique features and audience preferences of each platform to tailor your content accordingly. For instance, Instagram audiences might prefer polished videos, while Clapper users might value authenticity.

4. Leverage Cross-Posting Create content that can be easily adapted and shared across multiple platforms to maximize reach and engagement.

---

The potential shutdown of TikTok doesn’t have to mean the end of your creative journey. By exploring these alternatives and equipping yourself with the right tools, you can continue to create, grow, and thrive as a content creator. Now is the perfect time to diversify your presence and connect with audiences in new and exciting ways. Happy creating!

Disabled Veteran Amputee Claims That Airline Discriminated Against Him and Then Offered Him $100 to Settle

 

Brian Conwell is no ordinary veteran. While serving on active duty, he went out to get his soldiers lunch and was involved in a near fatal car accident that would require years of surgery, a deep depression, the loss of a leg and weight gain. 

He decided that life had more in store for him so he started going to the gym and "Big Country" was born. 

He entered athletic competitions, won 21 medals, and acquired several sponsors, including Doc's Roofing, Hollywood actor Sean Kanan, and SHIFT Magazine. He got a coach and a professional publicist and even shot a documentary about his life. 

On October 22nd, Brian was checking in to fly at a major American Airline and the counter agent allowed someone to rudely cut in front of Brian. The agent got distracted during talking to the person and entered Brian on the wrong flight. 

Brian's publicist, Dr. Rob Garcia, personally booked Brian's flight and paid a seat charge for additional legroom. The agent tried to move Brian to a seat without additional legroom. 

Brian is 6'6, 285 pounds and a competitive powerlifter. 

He told me in an interview that if he doesnt have that extra legroom which is mandated by the ADA and ACAA protecting disabled travelers, that it will dig his prosthetic leg into his hip causing immense pain. 

The counter agent looked at him and said, "If you don't like it, you can try another airline." 

Brian went to San Diego and was presented an award for veteran resilience and achievement by Blu Lapis Media and sponsored by VetComm, King Aminpour, Nick Devlin Coaching, Anchor Therapy Clinic, and Sycuan Casino. 

Brian with VetComm CEO Kate Monroe

When Brian's PR team heard about what had happened to him, they went to work. An article describing Brian's ordeal went viral. 

Brian's Viral Article

Brian was quick to point out that Spirit Airlines took very good care of him on the flight home, even offering him a first class seat for 35 dollars. Brian's PR team reached out to Spirit and the Sr Vice President immediately offered her assistance and to connect with the team (Spirit was NOT the airline treating Brian poorly, just the opposite.) 

When Brian's PR team attempted to contact American Airlines, a rep apologized and offered Brian $100 which was promptly rejected. Not $100 cash. A $100 flight voucher to fly with them again. 

Since this ordeal, Brian has had 10 media interview requests, 11,000 views on his article and a nationwide outpouring of support from veterans and disabled flyers. 

Brian received so much traffic that it crashed his website at www.sgtbc.com 

Brian's merch store is still open if you want to support his efforts. Big Country Merchandise

We reached out to American Airlines' Communication Officer and have yet to receive a response. 

How to Use Chat GPT For PR

 

#pr, #visibility, #ai, #tech, #sandiego

A colleague of mine in the PR world recently said online that Chat GPT isn't useful at all for PR. 

I almost spit up my coffee hearing this silliness. I respect her a lot so I'm not going to identify her. But I will present some info that will definitely make her reflect on her words. 

She either has never used it or is just looking at it as a fad. Here's the truth, Chat GPT when used strategically can be DEADLY for PR pros. Here are four ways to use it like a ninja: 

Method 1: Press Releases: Chat GPT will create from what you put into it. I picked a REAL client, my buddy that started a fitness and lifestyle company and wrote a big paragraph prompt that was very specific: 

"Create a sample press release for a fitness expert client that just released a new lifestyle program. The instructor is a former US Marine turned fitness competitor with decades of experience. The program is a six week nutrition and fitness journey working one on one with the instructor Jeff reiman. The program is called The Reiman Effect. The website url is www.the-reiman-effect.com. The audience is mostly males 25-55 that are miserable in life, need to lose weight or gain muscle and find their happiness again. Include hashtags of #fitness, #reimaneffect, #veteran, #lifestyle. 

The press release should have 2 strategies: Getting people to sign up for the Reiman Effect and to attract media to interview Jeff Reiman." 

This is what it spit out in 30 seconds: 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

About Jeff Reiman:

Jeff Reiman is a former US Marine turned fitness competitor with decades of experience in the fitness industry. His passion for helping others achieve their wellness goals led him to create The Reiman Effect, a transformative six-week lifestyle program designed to redefine the mind, body, and spirit.

Method 2: Industry Media. Chat GPT can be used to create databases very fast. Keep in mind, it is NOT current and only goes up to info in 2021. Here was my prompt:

Create a list of fitness and lifestyle magazines that interview and do stories on fitness experts. Create a list of fitness Youtubers that do interviews. Create a list of high view fitness websites that run stories on fitness that would interview Jeff.

Here is what it spit out:

Fitness and Lifestyle Magazines: Men's Health Women's Health Shape Muscle & Fitness Fitness Magazine Health SELF Outside Magazine GQ Fitness Runner's World Fitness YouTubers for Interviews: ATHLEAN-X (Jeff Cavaliere) Scott Herman Fitness FitnessBlender Natacha Océane The Body Coach TV (Joe Wicks) Heidi Somers Obi Vincent Whitney Simmons Jeff Nippard Hannah Bower High-View Fitness Websites for Stories and Interviews: Bodybuilding.com Livestrong.com MyFitnessPal Blog Fitbit Blog Breaking Muscle Greatist STACK Fitness Magazine T-Nation Healthline Fitness

Method 3: Pitches

We now have our press release, a list of potential interview sites and need to get coverage for the client.

Here is the prompt I used:

Taking the information from Jeff's press release, create a media interview pitch that will be sent to reporters, youtubers, and websites that do interviews. Jeff's interview angle will be talking about his own fitness journey as a way to stabilize mental health, his best tips as a medal winning fitness competitor and the benefits for middle aged veterans to start a healthier lifestyle through nutrition and fitness.

How to Help Your Autistic Children Win at Life....

 

Disclaimer: I am not a therapist or neurodivergence expert. I'm an undiagnosed person on the spectrum who has had a severe learning disability since about 9th grade. This article is about my own experiences. 

For the purposes of this article, I'm going to lump in autism, aspergers and being on the spectrum under one umbrella. Always get your children tested by a professional so you can have a better understanding of what you are dealing with. 

As a kid, I had focus issues, but once I hit about 9th grade, it got really bad. My report card was straight Ds and Fs even though I read at a very high level through elementary school. It got worse as I got older and I ended up failing out of high school. Then college. Then another college. I finally joined the military and BARELY and I mean BARELY made it through technical school. 

I started to regress but the weird thing was that as I got more socially distanced, I got smarter. I remember getting a burst of intelligence in my late 20s and another in my mid 30s like John Travolta in Phenomenon. 

I ended up ok. I finished my PhD, founded a PR agency and literally created a job where I can work from home and not have to be around people if I don't feel like it. I'm sensitive to sensory perception stuff, cannot stand crowds and if you get within 2 feet of me, I start getting squeamish, (unless you are Barbara Maisonet. Excellent hugs and she smells good.)

Here are success strategies for your kids if you feel like they might be on the spectrum. 

1. Understand their situation but don't baby them

Being on the spectrum sucks. You literally feel like the stupidest kid in class. You are terrified if the teacher calls you and oh guess what, you probably get bullied every....day.... for....YEARS. Teach your kids to be resilient winners and NEVER let them adopt a victim mentality. If they have ADD, ADHD, dyslexia or any of that shit, there is always a workaround. Have honest talks with them and reassure them that many famous and successful people have been on the spectrum or had learning disabilities. 

2. Encourage friendships and get them a damn pet 

Don't let your kid get addicted to video games and hide out from the world for hours at a time. There's plenty of time to do that as an adult. Getting them a dog or cat gives them a friend and responsibilities of caring for something. Trust me, some of your kids are very lonely. A fur friend will help a ton. 

3. Encourage creativity

Some of your kids are going to be really creative and it might be some shit you find odd, like manga, anime, Marvel, Dungeons and Dragons, art, music, etc. Encourage their interests. I started skateboarding in 9th grade and while my family didn't love it, they supported me when they could and it actually led to a lot of great friendships as I got older. It's ok to have a weird kid. If they want to wear a cape at the dinner table, I can think of much worse things. 

4. Use every asset available

Get them tested early so you know what you are dealing with. Get them an IEP for school so they can get assistance or an aide if needed. Use YT videos like Khan Academy if they need help with math. Kids today have all the good meds that I could've used like Adderol, Ritalin, etc. Don't be scared to try new meds in small doses until finding one that works. 

5. Don't discourage their path even if you disagree with it 

Your kid might NEVER want to go to college because of the tremendous difficulty they see ahead. Could you walk into your garage with a set of tools and take your transmission apart and back together without help? That's literally the Herculean task that college might pose for your kid. If they have a plan that doesn't involve higher education, think twice before dissuading them. I'm not saying to NOT push them to challenge their belief system but the more you force them into things, the more they are going to fight you on it. I had to try college THREE times before getting pissed off enough to finish 6 degrees. 

Hug your kids, remind them its not their fault and they are NOT stupid or slow. They just need to adapt to the wiring in their brain. 

Good luck, 
Rob 

How Richard van der Blom Dominated Linkedin

 

Subtle. 

If you have been on LinkedIn recently, you might have noticed one guy out there SLAYING THE PLATFORM. It's always fun to watch someone that literally creates a following around what they are passionate about. 

Richard van der Blom has all the makings of a LinkedIn influencer (I hope he doesn't punch me in the face for using the dreaded I word, but in this case, its complimentary). 

Richard cracked the "secret sauce" of LinkedIn, and in this article, I'm going to reverse engineer what he does that makes him so good at LinkedIn. (Or what I call, "the platform where fun goes to die") 

Here are the things that I observe him doing: 

Optimized his profile 

If you look at his profile, found here: LINK, you see that he has a custom graphic, hashtags, a very clear message about what he specializes in and contact info. This is a very important step to create positioning in your industry. 

Consistent Content

Richard is REALLY good at eye catching content and his carousels are always easy to dive into and high value stuff. I feel like Richard's strength is not oversaturation, but carefully meted out INTENSE training material that leaves you walking away with new skills and ideas. 

Audience Engagement

He also takes the time to have conversations with people and to connect with them. This is a lot more important that people think. Just spamming an inbox of cold leads with sales pitches is a terrible LinkedIn strategy embraced by too many. Follow this example and get some dialogue going! 

Variety

Although his carousels are my favorite content, he mixes it up with questions, polls, informational content and more. His strategy is pretty simplistic yet yields strong engagement and makes him sound like someone you would want to have a beer with in your living room. 

Attitude

Richard is a professional that doesn't take himself too seriously. He can unwind, be fun, and still deliver some of the most valuable content you'll ever see. Too many professionals are so consumed by ego that they forget to be likable. Richard doesn't have that problem. 

Keep crushing it Richard, thanks for all the great content and for helping us little guys grow our businesses! - Rob 

How Digital Marketers Can Earn Trust Again

 

#marketers, #fraud, #grifters, #clickfunnels, #liars 

I had a stunning revelation this week. 

I will never hire a digital marketer. Ever. 

Years of duplicitous ads, my friends being lied to and swindled over and over and Russel Brunson churning out thousands of hypebeast assclowns with fake 2 Comma Club Awards have completely soured me. 

I work in PR. I realize what its like to have a job where you don't have everything under your control and sometimes things go to shit even when you do your best stuff. 

That's still not good enough. 

Digital marketers now have less trust than 

*Politicians
*Used car salesmen
*Military recruiters 

"Bro, just sign right there, we totes won't send 
you to the Middle East" 

Scrolling through IG ads and seeing digital marketers on Facebook begging for sales like Dean Graziosi doesn't exactly fill me with confidence. 

"HEY ARE YOU A COACH, LAWYER, DAYCARE OWNER, SOCCER PLAYER, OR TEACHER?"

Seriously, what the fuck kind of ads are these? Did Russell teach you guys to scream into a video and cast the widest net ever to find some desperate fuck that's stupid enough to hire you? 

I mean lets be honest, remember the Cardone/Kern Agency? Was supposed to change the game right? Two of the biggest names in marketing/sales getting together and blah blah blah. 

My buddy hired them. Paid 8 grand for ZERO sales. ZERO. Couldnt reach a rep, never got any refund, nothing. Whole process was outsourced and performed about as well as FTX. 

You guys are feeling the pinch of desperation because people aren't falling for "the 7 figure blueprint" anymore. Tai Lopez pretty much muscled in and took most of the people that fall for Mouthbreather Marketing. 

So what can you do to recover? 

1. Get good at what you do.  

It took me years to get good at PR. I got in the trenches and learned how to get baseline results for clients. I didn't spam Facebook with ads talking shit like Ric Flair in the 80s. I kept my head down and DEVELOPED PROCESSES. 

2. Keep your marketing hype to the level of your marketing results. 

Don't promise people 7 figure results when you can't even get them 4 figure sales. This is the MAIN issue people have with DMs. A ton of hype to make the initial sale and a blank stare when its time to review results. Stop claiming to be the "fastest growing agency" when you can't be Googled, asshat. 

3. Develop your results and have legit case studies for future clients

This is the harsh truth. If you don't have strong client results, you don't have what it takes to be a digital marketer. Start small. Build your way up. But you HAVE to have results if you want to survive. You're in an oversaturated market and 90% of your competitors are bragging like Pitbull while riding the bus to a WeWork cubicle. 

I started off with a single email PR course. I focused on making it strong and developing the client results. This led to a bigger course. I got 25x sales from this one with no ads. Why? I focused on techniques that got stronger results. Clients got on TV, they got more interviews, their social media got stronger. This built my reputation. 

4. Dont follow the herd. 

"We get you 100 qualified leads a month or YOU DONT PAY" 

I will never fucking take one of these deals. It means you are desperately casting a line and trying to get the lowest pond scum clients you can find. Seriously, just be yourself without gimmicks, a fake 2 Comma Club award you paid Russell to get, a neon lit room or a fuckboy haircut. 

Be yourself. It works surprisingly well. 

This is my Google search. I have always been myself. No gimmicks, lies, or inflated results. 

In hindsight, if you need a good digital marketer that actually can provide results and expertise, talk to my buddy Justin Charpentier. Strong reviews, great client results and a solid performer.

Now if you'll excuse me, Tai Lopez just dropped his latest NFT and a branded Kangen Water deal from his jail cell in Florida.
