### - smile, this is coach slider psychologically leaning on team-WILD to
do their exercises over on facebook haha, with this post today called:

'The Game' :)

This refers to the movie 'The Game' starring Michael Douglas (Kirk
Douglas' son) a wall street tycoon living a basically very successful
life; he's not totally happy but he's got it all and is living the dream!

And then the 'game' gets hold of him and turns his whole world upside down
& inside out hehe, to the point he becomes someone else, someone with an apparently greater appreciation of life and what it's worth compared to
the near-empty life he'd been routinely living before but couldn't see?

Well, in that sense WILDing is like 'The Game' ;)

For sure it's all a bit confusing at first and nothing seems to make
sense, there's all this fiddly bit of getting the mechanics of it all just right before you can then get on with the far more exciting and novel job
of exploring the dream state virtually at will! (that's the cool part)

And, after a lot of huffing & puffing (heh) you do so, and you begin to
enjoy the experience of exploring... and then strange things happen
whereby the lucidity you begin to experience in your dreams begins to carry-over into your waking life as well, and thus one experiences moments
or flashes of similar lucidity during the day?

This is a very haunting and amazing experience, everything's the same but
looks slightly different? I described this (in the book) as being similar
to coming home after being away for a little while; everything's exactly
where you left it and you know it's the same home it's always been, yet everything looks a little odd for a few days until finally, after 2 or 3
days: something clicks and you're back! And yet you can't quite put your
finger on what it was that was different?

Similarly then these flashes of lucidity during the day after WILDing: one
is not quite oneself for a little while afterwards, the same detached mood
(of the dreamer) that granted you such facility in the dream state lingers
for a little while, and as such affords one a glimpse of the waking world through similarly detached and/or more objective eyes!

I personally love this added perspective on life, it feels like there's
vision and wisdom in it? And which imho is actually the introduction to an unknown 'self' that seems altogether more mature and balanced...

So c'mon matey peeps, work steadily to quickly get all the 'fiddly bits'
out of the way (the mere mechanics of it all) so we can get on with the
far more exciting 'exploring' part + also some of that newly gained
lucidity then having potentially far reaching effects in your daily life
as well :)

### - aww so you liked it then :)

am spending a grand on this via youtube ad placements, if it fetches back
223 sales it will have paid for itself and the whole thing can go again,
if it brings back more than that the next round will be bigger again and
the next round bigger still...

and it 'could' happen too coz i did a little test campaign via amazon's
own in-house advertising over the last 2 years, whereby £172 of click-ads turned into £522 in sales (average cost of sale was 33%) so something
similar via youtube & £1000 would be great, reinvest it back in again and
the whole thing would start to snowball

i guess we'll see huh...

if it works though in a little while it'll be: move over crappy
'grammerly' adverts; lucid dreaming the WILD way is coming through!

so it's a gamble ;)

### - well, after several hours of frustratingly clicking just about
everything clickable in the youtube ads-program and then unclicking them
all again and putting some back, for hours lol, it's on there!!!

the ad has just gone live! :)

at least i think it's on there? lol... it says it's on there so it must be
on there, right? somewhere haha...

feedback data maybe takes a few days to start coming in (impressions + how
many times it was/wasn't clicked etc etc) plus, you apparently only pay if someone looks at it for longer than 30 seconds or clicks on it (cool)

anyway, via a bunch of keywords, it's been mainly aimed at anyone checking
out lucid dreaming in one form or another (have included all the forms
heh) before their video starts, plus if that doesn't piss a few people off
i dunno what wont coz lol i personally find all those adverts fairly
annoying? :)))

nevertheless, everyone targeted gets a few seconds of it before they click
the 'skip ads' button huh...

have currently set it to spend up to £10 per day so let's see wtf happens
lol
(have absolutely nooo idea what's gonna happen haha!)

will be able to watch any hits come in via the daily website & sales stats too...

the big question being: will it or wont it generate enough sales to equal
that daily spend or not?

this is what it basically all hinges on anyway, although am gonna spend
all that money anyway and then see how many sales it actually produces
(it's bound to produce 'some' but will it be enough to go again at the
same rate or better??)

how exciting! :D

and they're... off!

### - whoa! this youtube ad-machine is wild! (no pun intended heh) :D

coz it will literally 'rinse' you of cash if'n ya don't know what you're fuckin' doing LOL ! :)))

adjusting the 'keywords' seems to be what it's all about in terms of
obtaining 'value' for money anyway...

the advert itself seems popular enough amongst the dreaming community
(perhaps even too popular!) many of them watching more than 30 seconds of
it before moving away, and that's an audience that will gobble down your
cash like there's no tomorrow without buying anything haha, one would
literally need 1000's to feed a monster like that??

on such a low budget that would thus be gone in only a fortnight and
prolly no sales to show for it, have basically only gots one way to go
then?

and that's for 'branding' rather than sales? (didn't see that one coming
hah!)

i.e., raising people's awareness of there being such a book who typically
watch less than 30 seconds of it, i may even have to make a modified
advert that crams more into the first 15 seconds and then quickly bores
them enough to make them move away from it LOL...

thus 1000's of people from all walks repeatedly see the book and get to
know it's name albeit without purchasing it, and, more importantly,
without me getting charged for it! this would then be free advertising
that could literally go on forever out to a global audience! some of whom
may then go buy it at some later point off their own back...

this kinda being the 'opposite' of what i'd imagined i'd be doing?

going for the *global audience* first i mean??

basically can't afford to do anything else!

how strange :)

(looks like my previous joke about 'grammerly' is actually gonna come true haha)

### - phase 2 heh :)))

assuming some extra traffic will be driven to the site, have added another couple pages to it inviting peeps to donate to a very worthy cause :)

https://www.thewildway.com/files/contribute.htm

this is what's written there:


Help Contribute To Lucid Dreaming Going Mainstream

'Our Cause' - is to eventually bring this ability of ours to lucid dream
to the attention of the mainstream public via advertising. I'm personally
doing all that I can in this direction but my funds are low and progress
is slow, so anything people want to contribute will go straight into a
fund created expressly and solely for this advertising campaign alone.

The idea being to initially advertise this book and it's accompanying
videos via Youtube adverts, all and any proceeds from which will then be
spent on more advertising in the hope that the whole thing will then
gradually snowball into other areas of advertising as well. As the
mainstream public's interest in lucid dreaming grows they'll no doubt want
to read other literature on the subject too and the whole thing will
expand.

The final aim of which is to create a self-perpetuating 'Authors Fund'
that will manage all and any income from sales and advertising after I'm
gone, and which will then continue doing so until such times as lucid
dreaming becomes publicly known and practiced all over the world, thus
raising and expanding people's awareness while adding to their overall appreciation and quality of life in the process.

For my own part, I have donated £2,000 and all future income from sales
and can only assure you that none of your kind donations will ever be
spent on anything other than the stated cause, so please give generously
in the clear confidence that none of your contributions will ever be
squandered in any way nor spent on myself.

CONTRIBUTE TO RAISING WORLD AWARENESS TODAY

Securely Collected & Processed By PayPal

All contributions will later be published and accounted for via another
page Here dedicated to keeping a running total of how much is collected
versus how much is spent on which type of advertising and all the proceeds generated. --From slider the author: 20th May 2021

(slider standing on some dingey street corner, cap in hand, sayin': s'cuse
me mister, cud ya's spare uz' 1,000 bucks for a cup o' tea? haha)

so if, erm, anyone's, feeling 'generous' at all? then please get out yer
pocket book(s) and stick a few bills on old slider... who'll spend it very wisely indeed!

chip-in a bit, ya know? to raising the awareness of... humanity??

first by showing 'em there's a bit about themselves they didn't know AND
then how to access it!

this is saving the goddamn planet shit maan! c'mon! (really laffing coz
it's true haha)

and everyone can do their little bit to help-out doin' it, see? :)

anyway haha, this message is shortly gonna do the rounds on facebook,
there's about 20-odd groups for lucid dreaming there worth spamming, coz they're always talking about: oh if-only lucid dreaming went mainstream, wouldn't that be good? so hopefully some of the less sceptical ones will shell-out a little something towards that cause huh...

i mean, if everyone just gave $5 it'd be a huge fund in no time?

wouldn't even need their donations after that! the whole thing will
just... roll :)

otoh, i shall defo be wearing my rain-mac and waders when i post this
message around fb to ward-off all the 'spits' that's more than likely to
rain down LOL, they want it to happen yeah, but they don't wanna do
anything about it? i know, i know... same as it ever was?

but then if ya don't ask ya don't get, see? (will give 'em a chance)

and it IS for a very good cause! :)

### - new advert :)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTsna8m2_TI

or rather: the same ad but amended to be shorter and slightly more boring
for a much wider audience haha :)))

the idea being that many will see it a dozen times and hurriedly click
away from it within 30 seconds thus not actually costing anything to
display...

that this is precisely what crummy grammerly did too: flooded youtube with their advert knowing hardly anyone would ever actually click on it or
watch it for very long, and yet everyone knows their 'brand' by now
whether they're interested in such things or not!

perfect :)

coz get this right and 10's of millions will see it in a very short space
of time, but basically ignore it/click the 'skip-ads' button within the
first 15 seconds or less thus incurring no charge to the fund (cool)

plus all i gots to do now is find out what 'grammerly' is bidding and
out-bid them for this ad to been seen all over the same way they are, or
were as the case may be heh, coz it doesn't matter 'what' you bid that
puts ya at the front of the queue if no one actually watches it beyond the 30-seconds limit or clicks it: there'll still be no charge! :)))

i mean, you might watch this advert beyond the 30-seconds the first time
it appears provided you're interested in such things, but never again?
ever after that you'll just click away from it as soon as poss (within 5 seconds) which is only just enough time to see the title screen and our
friend charlie saying: 'this book is absolutely mind blowing'

in 3 months some of them might even start buying it after they've been brainwashed with it enough times haha :D

ah well, will run this for a while and see how it goes stat-wise + will
prolly have to tweak it another couple of times to get it just right...

cool :)

### - have derided the world 'created' by mankind (i.e., human society) as being a wallyworld and i think that's fair enough considering what a
goddamn unintelligent mess it actually is, that for all their so-called 'science' it's actually rather primitive imho...

that i totally agree with uncle albert (who was pretty smart) when he describes/observes it as being:

"All our lauded technological progress — our very civilization — is like the axe in the hand of the pathological criminal."

the very old argument of: well if you don't like it you should go live in
the woods or whatever, is being completely specious in nature, mainly
because there's no such escape from it possible (not that it's 'totally' impossible and only that they've made it increasingly difficult to do so)

such an existence would be literally impossible here in the uk for example
(you can't just go and live in the park here for instance, it's actually against the law!) and that without access to gas and electricity it's
virtually impossible to live! (there's a few who do actually live on the street, only these are usually those who've dropped out of
society/can't-cope usually through mental illness or financial ruin)

have thus chosen to live amongst them and to endure the many hypocrisies & sheer injustices of it, as one has to actually be quite wealthy to live isolated and away from the rest of it...

so yes, i use gas & electricity and pay rent on a flat (why wouldn't i
when the only other choice is to live on the street?) but that doesn't
mean that i don't see right through it for the piece of primitive crap it really is... having lived at the lower strata of society all my life i've
thus seen & experienced it for what it really is: a world of slaves &
cruel masters.

and yes, i've got something to give them, something they imho need very
badly as human beings, lost in some kinda man-made manufactured hell-hole whereby only 20% of the world's population lives the way it ought to be
lived, while the other 80% (the vast majority after all) basically have
fuck all and are forced to live from hand to mouth on a daily basis, those
20% not being any different in any way whatsoever to those other 80% other
than they've collected all the wealth of the world and are selfishly
keeping it all to themselves while others literally starve to death all
around them... (have never been comfortable with that)

so using their own system to communicate with them (the internet whatever)
is the only way to go afaic, 'they' use it for one thing and i use it as
an alternate way to communicate with them is all, they're all plugged into
it so why not use it? they all, for example, speak english so it would be stupid to try and speak to them in chinese for example... iow: am forced
to talk to them in (and on) their own terms or they wouldn't even hear it!

you probably haven't read my book, but if you did you'd quickly see how am talking to them and the kinds of things am pointing out to them + even why
am doing it... advertising is their own accepted manner of reaching large crowds of people so why shouldn't i use it to reach them?

life, in this so-called modern age (modern so-called because despite their technology it all seems pretty primitive to moi) thus being a series of compromises for someone like myself: a total outsider whose chosen to live amongst/beside them instead of becoming a hermit...

"some rules can be bent others can be broken" --from the matix movie hehe

And with that, Slider, who derides the system as "Wally World",
becomes PART of the system.

### - comes now the 4th advert in a final reduction, the whole thing only
35 seconds long...

i.e., having realised that there's no real hope of creating any direct
sales on the low budget involved, have thus been forced to go a different
route with it by way of aiming to get as many 'impressions' shown of it
for as little cost as possible...

this only being possible if people click 'away' from the advert before the 30-second time limit kicks in and am charged for it as being a 'view',
ditto if they actually click on it... otherwise you can get as many
impressions as are available (literally billions!) without there ever
being any cost for it whatsoever!

the aim being to therefore cram as much info into the first 27 seconds as possible wherein after that they get just a blank screen to look at for 8 seconds (haha) and so should click away in time from it to watch their
chosen videos and for moi not to be charged... the resulting stats (of impressions over views/clicks) either later confirming this or not, in
which case more tweaks may be required ;)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRX7Ip2wVrA

if a million people see it/are exposed to it, 'some' of them are likely to check it out at a later date and maybe even purchase a copy...

i mean dammit maan... where else can ya obtain a genuinely life-changing/altering experience for only £4.99 eh??

it's actually better than LSD or mushrooms! :D

(wish i could put 'that' in the advert huh ahaha)

### - this youtube advertising business is actually fairly fascinating...

the machine/software program involved being not only difficult to manage
but also vast in its scope should one decide to use/apply it to its
fullest extent!

like: wow! THAT much?? :)))

anyways, it seems like have learned enough about it now to begin to
manipulate it somewhat to the available budget, something which has cost
me around £50 so far in mostly errors (heh) in terms of learning to
understand it all...

£50 not being too bad compared to the £2000 am preparing to spend overall;
ya burn your fingers ya learn! simple as that :)

the 'whole thing' being just a form of legalised spamming really heh...

ya picks yer audience and ya spams 'em! lol :)))

so now i know how it all works a bit better anyway, am today starting a 2-pronged strategy by way of further info-gathering and the refining of
the process... 2 campaigns (coz you can run as many as ya want at the same time) in which i'll keep the one am currently applying to a more global audience, versus one limited more to the lucid dreaming community itself
(which was the original idea) and then compare the stats from both!

logically, the first group i 'should' be aiming at primarily 'is' this
dreaming community, if only because they're already familiar with the
whole concept of lucid dreaming and the 'WILD Way' is just a new approach
they might (or should) want to hear about - here's a better way to lucid
dream, end of argument as far as they're concerned! either buy the book or
piss off!

the global group, otoh, also involves first introducing people to the
whole 'concept' of lucid dreaming per se, and perforce that's more involved/harder to accomplish but necessary... they'll likely wanna do
some research first before ever buying anything related i mean, although
imho you couldn't get a much better introduction to it than The WILD Way...

no one has 'donated' to this cause as yet anyway lol, but then people who
do buy and read it, and then successfully lucid dream because of it, may
indeed feel that they wanna help spread the word and come back later to
donate something more than just the cost of the book alone? (a common
emotion people have/get on occasion; a form of gratitude perhaps...)

plus looking at it all now methinks i should've actually done all this
years ago?

have perhaps been a bit slow in that sense...

but, well... am here now anyway so let's get on with it :)

kewl :)

### - so anyway, am driving this complex ad-machine with all it's 50
levers (i.e., variables) and 45 gears haha... geeze ya have to be a
freakin' octo-ma-puss just to handle this little baby lol :D

but, and after several near-prangs, we're basically now cruising along in
top gear and for once can look up and see where am going? hah!

the current 'aim' being to get as many free 'impressions' shown to the
public versus paid-for 'views', something which is triggered by either
them watching it for more than 30-seconds, or more simply by clicking on
it and visiting the website...

and so far have gotten it down to a ratio of around 19% or 20% views,
there being nada can seemingly do to get it any lower than this no matter
what medium or demographic is selected; 20% of the viewing public either
watch the ad out of curiosity and/or ignore it and just let it play
through!

i mean, you could literally show them a totally blank screen and 20% of
them will still cause you to be charged for it come what may, television audiences appearing to be the biggest offenders here as anything up to 50%
of that lot let the advert run well beyond the 30-second limit, whether or
not they're actually watching it being another matter heh... personally, i doubt it...

ditto mobile phones for some strange reason? i mean, if'n i was surfing
around the net on my mobile listening to music or whatever, i'd be
skipping ads at every possible opportunity just to save on data charges
and battery power if for no other reason, no? well not that lot
apparently! they being the next worst offenders to the tv people when it
comes to being charged for views!? why?? are the adverts really 'that'
good that people stop to watch it even on their mobiles??? (surely not,
must be for some other dumb reason)

anyways, 20% seems to be the bottom of it, and at around 3 or 4 cents per
view this doesn't get you very much unless one can literally afford to
shovel 1000's upon 1000's into it... which btw it's quite capable of
spending in only an hour or 2 no matter HOW much you care to shovel into
it lol, so BIG is their viewer-load at any one time! (amazing really whew!)

the tiny budget am operating on thus being literally only a very quick
piddle in the ocean for all the effect it's likely to actually have by comparison, even IF that selected audience already knows something about
lucid dreaming i seriously doubt will ever see any of that money again LOL
! :D

(oh wow look at me, am literally throwing money awaaay! whoo-hoo!)

but had to try it, see?

just in case any fucker was listening!?

but apparently they're NOT! (crackin' up laffing)

in which case it don't looks like there's gonna be any shortcuts this way folks!

bill gates didn't get back to me either for instance? (lol yeah well what
did i expect: he's a science freak anyway huh... fuck him, gave him a
chance didn't i? he blew it haha... sorry bill, ya can't be part of this one...)

nope... it's obviously gonna be the long slow climb spread over...
decades...

humanity is/can-be very slow on the uptake sometimes: that unless it's got
xmas lights hanging on it they don't even wanna know?

otoh, methinks WILDs actually does have xmas lights hangin' on it,
especially considering all it can actually do for just some ordinary
person, and it's not even expensive! but getting them to 'notice' those
lights is another matter again?

by all accounts they like the book and they like the videos, many of whom
have left more than 50 glowing reviews and more on youtube... there's even 1,527 members in the WILDs group! and yet 5 years down the road it's still
all only barely ticking over?

what more can a poor boy do! ;)

call tech support, ask for the owners' manual
and see what it is that you are suppose to be doing here
on planet dildo? ask for me too, ok?

### - ok checked the manual, heh, and it says there's no plans, never was,
that we're allowed to do anything we want with our lives, that it's all a
kinda gift...

there's a warning/cautionary note however that most people just piss it
all up the wall in one way or another, they get too deeply involved in wallyworld shit to ever break the surface of all that crud enough to ever
see beyond it; thus having a good job, a nice home & family, walkin' the
dog and voting conservative etc etc, is plenty for them to be dealin' with
and for the vast majority that's it!

that's their whole life! that's ALL they ever 'do' or make of it all and
no one ever tells 'em any different! and that because of that hardly
anyone ever lives a real life here beyond the demands of the society they
just so happened to be born into at the time, their respective cultures
thus means everything to them and it's taboo to never question it more
than so...

but you just try tellin' THAT to people and they'll nail ya's to the
nearest goddamned tree lol

(no wonder then that they deliberately buried that manual huh...)

### - geez at all the castaneda spam suddenly going on here?? (grinz...) :D

anyways, have finally settled on this last version of the advert (@ only
the 6th attempt heh) although this time it plays right to the end (so no
more blank screens hah) for a total of 78 seconds...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xY91E7e8MhI

it's been on there a few days and has so far collected 1,765 views and
about 4 times as many impressions so is hovering around 25% views, with
the people who view it, rather amazingly, watching up to 83% of it! (which
is fairly high thus popular)

am quite fond of this advert by now, it's actually rather unusual, and
because of that would love to see it shown on tv and stuff? (some hope
tho' huh unless i wins the lotto haha...)

as mentioned before; have a positively 'great' idea for an advert that
would really stand out but unfortunately lack the skills to make it myself (have tried, but it has to look good or it's crap)

on another note: there's been no more donations (dig-dig) apart from those first initial two??

sheesh those community fuckers all 'talk' about how they'd LOVE lucid
dreaming to go mainstream and what a great thing that would be blah blah
blah, but can't be bothered to actually DO anything about it except talk??

duh!

but well, i guess it's still early days yet, and there may still be more contributions to come...

and because who knows, maybe at some point some rich anonymous dude with a
bad conscience will drop a decent packet this way instead of just pissing
it all up the wall as per usual huh...

well ya never know ;)

### - update: from slider's desk haha :D

20th June
Something appears to be happening as there's a 100% blip in the recorded
sales figures for this month and we're only 2-thirds of the way through
it? The problem being am not exactly sure if this is a direct result of
having now run approximately £300.00 worth of adverts, or the publication
of an interview between Robert Waggoner and myself in his LDE (Lucid
Dreaming Experience) pdf magazine just a few days ago. (see the article
HERE).

If the trend drops off over the next few days, however, we'll know it was
only via the magazine, but if it continues then it can only be from the adverts! Either way, that's an extra £60 so far this month that goes back
into the fund. Thank you Robert Waggoner for the extra publicity, but
let's just hope it's because of the adverts and will continue :)

### - dealin' with difficult things is my daily business heh...

perforce miracles take a little longer? :D lol

another week like this though and it's the stuff of record-book sales for
any month to date over the last 5 years... gut feelin' though, is that
they're the result of the interview rather than the adverts and that's bad news...

currently, methinks it'll TAKE a damn miracle to reach break-even point on
the ads, can only hope am wrong and another molehill turns into a mountain
;)

23rd June
Have just added Facebook to the campaign with a '£10.00 Post Boost' that
runs for 5 days. We'll see from the resulting stats how effective this is
or not at that time and then tweak it accordingly from there. I like the
idea of advertising on facebook.

### - ahaha the universe is taking the piss?? :)))

have made the sale, so that's a done deal; this month's sales have now
gone into new territory! (yaay!)

what's hilarious, however, is the WAY it's come through, almost like you'd
hold a biscuit above a dog's nose and make him jump for it a couple of
times?

i.e., some dude comes through wants a kindle copy, pays up-front and i
sends him the book, the crucial sale...

email bounces?? huh?

this is the email address paypal sits on as being verified, and it
bounces?? wtf!

can't do anything now except refund the dude as that's the only way to
speak directly to him by adding a note...

so refund and note sent... thought i'd prolly never hear from him again... fuckin' universe is takin' the piss again hah, making me wait for it!?
pays no attention! (smile)

so the same dude comes through again this morning! pays upfront again!
fuckin' email BOUNCES again??

lol... but oh dear haha, can only refund him again as the only means of speaking to him, including another note this time to contact me directly
via the website haha...

then a *3rd payment* from him arrives! with the same fucked up email??? W
T F !!! (really laffing)

only THIS time i also gets a personal email from him via the website from
a new email address...

end of story: he gets the book, i gots the money, whew! :)))

jump for the biscuit bonzo! you know you wants it: jump! jump!

and bonzo fuckin' jumps ahahaha :D gimmie! gimmie! ahaha :)))

fuckin' universe is teasing me, takin' the fuckin' piss...

BUT... have now made the sale that takes it into new sales territory folks!

'the' best month for sales to date no less! with currently 21 sales!
(woooo haha)

and with possibly several more by the end of the month!

cool :)

(am enjoying this haha...)
