while you say you are "local to San Diego..." Calling you a "man about town" would require defining TOWN as everything between Sweden and South America!!!

I wrote some blog posts about Doctors Without Borders, then connected with Danny Brown and his 12for12k.org campaign. We put our heads together and...

of all the NPO and causes out there... why Doctors Without Borders for You Personally???

Can't say why it struck me so strongly, but I knew in that moment that I had to go

Life is 99% serendipity, or fate, or karma, or whatever

Holistic is the key word - if they are burning down rain forest so that they can produce beef that goes into fast food and causes us health problems

I don't think of it in terms of a dream life, but rather pursuing passion. Seek that which speaks to you, drives you,

@nwcptr4me of something totally hard to remember asked me the jist of (what the hell is a "jist" anyways? Some sort of verb in the past tense?!) the title. It's really simple. The benefits are obvious. Instead of paying some other blogger or site to advertise, I can advertise on my friggin own blog and get ten times as many customers free.

You do realize that people who read your stuff are ATLEAST 10x's more likely to buy your stuff. Think about it. I only buy from people I know. When's the last time you bought a car or even a book from someone you knew nothing about?

So, I've got about 1,000 youtube videos and 2,000 blog posts. How do I do it?

Anger, NOT LOVE is the greatest motivator

This is the secret: I read blogs written by idiots. Every day, they piss me off (No, I'm not referring to @mashable. I actually think they are a load of smarties). And we all know that anger is the greatest motivator. Think about it. You think LOVE <3 is the greatest motivator. Gimme a break! How many people were you madly in love with but never said anything?!?!?

How many people slightly annoyed you that you just went off on?

So, I read idiocy for inspiration.

Now, here's the secret secret... see top half

when you start a romantic campaign, understand the key driver for each party concerned 

Short Answer: You are sinning.

Explanation to short answer. "Sin," is not a religious term. It originally comes from warfare, specifically, archery. It means "to miss the bullseye," or "to miss the mark." Look it up. This is how the whole of the Middle East and Asia used the term.

Longer Short Answer: If you've ever tried to pick up a ripe pineapple by the frawns, you'll realize that if you dont grab the right ones, they pop off and you drop the pineapple.

If you chat up a man who wants to build a family and pull on his libido, you'll get him in bed but he will leave like that pineapple.

If you converse about the beauty of children to a woman who just wants sex, you get nothing.

If you advertise Amazon's Kindle DX by saying,

"Now you can fit an entire school district's worth of backpacks of books in one Kindle, The New DX!" your marketing ROI is #FAIL

If you advertise Amazon's Kindle DX by saying,

"All your favorite titles for 50% off! Introducing the New Amazon Kindle DX!" you also get marketing #FAIL

Let's all, here and now, face it. Who needs friends anyways. They drag you away from your labors of love, they get you to drink love handle inflating beer, then borrow money from you to pay for it. What you really want is to just plain influence people.

And when it comes to influencing people, atleast online (without breasts), I'm one of the masters. Last I recall, I've amassed over 16,000,000 Youtube views and over 25,000 subscribers. I'd show you a screenshot but this FRACKIN STARBUCKS is bandwidth limiting video content so I cant even logon to YT! GRR! One of my videos got half a million views before I had to remove it.

Why I physically removed my most successful video is precisely the point of "How to influence people."

You see, After serving over 16 million nutritious content meals to all 24 time zones on earth, I could only get about ten of them to join http://journik.com and give back to the community.

How I finally got over 1,000 users to join http://journik.com and fill out their long and value rendering profile required several key understandings of the human being.

1. Homosapiens are not driven by desire, passion, or reason. They are primarily driven by fear.

So, I made an announcement to my 16,000 YM Youtube subscribers saying that http://journik.com would be closed to the public in less than 24 hours. Yep, the video went viral. Members emailed, forwarded, blogged, and sms'd that video.

fueled his drive for greatness...

"People ask me a lot about my drive," he says. "I think it comes from, like, having a sexual addiction at a really young age.

Look at the drive that people have to get sex—to dress like this and get a haircut and be in the club in the freezing cold at 3 a.m., the places they go to pick up a girl. If you can focus the energy into something valuable, put that into work ethic..." - eOnline

2. Once a day for men, once a month for women, humans laugh at the face of fear because they become overcome by an even stronger impetus. Sex.

This is why people throw health, longevity, and fear of disease to the wind and fuck. I'm not going to bore you with the technical Daoist cosmological reasons why. But just know that if you want men to move, move, move, you inspire them to action from 5am-7am. If you want women to act, you inspire them within their three days of ovulation. Technically, if you just want to stay on the scientific and technologically measurable side, this is when testosterone is highest in both sexes. This is when they can overcome fear and you can get them to pitch a tent for your initiative.

3. I removed my most popular Youtube video because most people are freeloaders.

Yep. This is the third point. Most people are inactive, lethargic, self entitled, bloated mooches. They take, take, take, and curse you when you ask for help washing the dishes. And honestly, that is ok-fine. Because there are select few precious gems among this endanged species. The people who invite you to a feast then ask YOU what THEY can do for YOU! And thanks to Youtube, Twitter, Facebook, etc, you can find these people fast. How you find them is simple.

You take the lead. You give first. See who gives back. Give them more. See if they reciprocate. I'm doing this with sick people. I send everyone in search.twitter who say's "sore throat" a link to my "secret Daoist sore throat cure." These are the people who got that remedy. And these are the people who gave anything back. By my guestimate, that puts the doers at a 1:200 ratio. (ADDENDUM: OK, OK, I admit it, if they are hot chicks, I'll follow even if they never say thanks! http://twitter.com/journik/friends)

I find these people, I add them to my @journik account. Unremarkably, they are the same people who actually RT.

If you happen to come across the realization that you are a mooch, don't despair. You are doing two great things for us movers and shakers.

A. You are collecting backpressure ("kundalini" for you granola crunching, pretzel stretchy, unshaven, yoga types) that you can use when the time is right for you to finally get off your cellulite textured ass.

B. You make us look way more powerful than we really are.

4. People are driven by immediate ROI, immediate satisfaction. Even if it is a negative ROI

Doesn't make sense does it, when presented as a cold hard financial fact?

King James Bible
The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth [to feed himself]. - theWORD

Why whould anyone invest in something that immediately gives them back less than they put in - hurting their immediate and long term net-worth? Please tell me the picture above left is worth a thousand words.

What I'm saying is that asking for an hour a week in support to support our children's futures is just not going to cut it. What you have to do is dangle a carrot in front of the work horse and make sure your load is firmly affixed to him. In rubber to the road terms, I got 244 new forum registrations and 235 Diggs to the moment by baiting and harnessing.Offer an immediate return on their financial or actual investment.

If this sounds at all manipulative, it is. And I have no problem with that. I got what I wanted, they got what they wanted, and the global community at-large benefits overall. We will all be ok with this so long as McDonalds doesn't offer me a seven figure consulting contract (muu huu hu hwah haaa)!

5. Timing

Even the most self seeking, short sighted, parasitic homosapien will, at some moment in time, only need so much as a straw to break his apathetic back. Wait for it. Wait for it...
