Digital Marketing

Everybody touts that affiliate marketing is the best way to secure a passive income. However, there are a few details that nobody tells you, and it means the difference between people pushing through the challenges of digital and affiliate marketing or giving up altogether.

Here’s the truth:

1. Passive income from digital marketing (and affiliate marketing) takes a lot of work
2. There are multiple moving parts to master before money rains down from the sky
3. It can take considerable time to start earning passive income

I believe integrity must rule when selling information to our audience. We’re dealing with human beings who may be vulnerable, anxious and struggling to pay the bills. They may have zero knowledge about sales and social media marketing, and they trustingly believe the advice of someone making a lot of money online.

Yes, digital and affiliate marketing may be the easiest way to make money online. Still, many people get stuck in the process because the gurus make it challenging to understand that it can be simple.

Indeed, it SHOULD be simple, but that doesn’t mean it is easy.

I come from a direct sales background. Back then, my entire focus was on building relationships with my clients based on trust and integrity, and nothing has changed for me on my digital marketing journey.

I want to do my best for people, not con them into buying expensive courses I haven’t used, purchased, or succeeded with. Yet so many have no problems with that.

Anyhoo, that’s my digital marketing rant over. Now, we’ll focus on how to get started and set yourself up for success so you can start making passive income later down the road.

Step 1

Choose a reputable marketing platform. I use Systeme because you can get started for free. I pay $27 a month and have email campaigns and sales pages set up on there for my digital marketing business. I’m also taking their certified sales funnel building course.

Customer service is excellent, and you can use the marketing tools without the pressure of a monthly subscription. I have just upgraded because I’m building more sales pages and adding more products and custom domains. I love Systeme, its ethos and its quality tools.

Step 2

Decide if you want to:

1. Sell other people’s digital products
2. Create your own digital products
3. Buy PLR products you can edit and make your own
4. Buy MRR products to resell for 100%
5. Buy a DFU Business

I am doing a mix of options. I ONLY promote programs I use and am happy with, such as Systeme. In addition, it’s best to promote products offering at least 25% commissions.

Step 3

Create a free lead magnet to give away to subscribers. Honestly, don’t offer some crappy PLR that you got for free. Buy a template you can edit so you can add value. Be happy to give away free stuff that offers a transformation for subscribers. Start as you mean to go and build trust with your audience.

Step 4

Create a landing page for your first product. A simple squeeze page and thank you page is acceptable. Systeme has multiple templates to make setting up your first page for free quick and easy.

Step 5

Create an email campaign relative to the free product. For instance, If your freebie is about faceless social media marketing, your email campaign should be relative to providing that information.

Don’t be in a rush to promote products. Warm your subscribers first by leading with value.

Step 6

Choose two or three social media channels to focus on. Pinterest is a fantastic search engine, and TikTok can be a great platform once you build momentum.

YouTube may be slower, but build a long-term content strategy around it because there are endless opportunities for digital and affiliate marketing add-on bonuses, like coaching, brand deals and more. You can build a faceless brand on YouTube and succeed.

Now, here’s the thing. Creating or editing PLR products is time-consuming, but I recommend ALWAYS making them your own, adding your own spin and increasing their value.

Your first sales page might take you several hours. You might fluff up when adding a custom domain or tags or automating the process. That’s absolutely normal. I put off doing my first sales page for over six months. When I finally did it. I felt ashamed and embarrassed because it was easier than I expected.

Conclusion

Setting up to create automated passive income from digital and affiliate marketing takes time and always takes you longer than you think. I’ve been working on my back-end set-up and product creation for over a month and am still not ready to go. I might be slower because I won’t sell mediocre products to my customers.

Everything becomes easier once you have your automated system in place. You can add more products in your own time. Additionally, you can promote your products on other marketplaces like Etsy, Gumroad and Creative Fabrica.

The opportunities are endless.

So, my apologies for my early rant. I hope you see where I’m coming from. Integrity, honesty and authenticity are the most critical aspects of building any relationship, whether a partnership or selling digital products online. I hope you feel the same way.

Some law of attraction gurus tell us that all we have to do to manifest what we want is imagine it, and it will be so. The trouble with that is when our wishes fail to materialise, we feel like a failure. We think we must be feeble manifesters because other people can do it, right?

Honestly, this was an issue for me for many years. I’d had a few incredible events where the universe unfolded my desires without much effort. However, the naughty universe, I think, lured me into a false sense of security.

I stopped believing. After my fiancé died in a cycling accident in 2020, I struggled to retain my faith in manifesting my wishes. Losing him wasn’t in my dreams. Life got a bit tough after that.

Gradually, I began reading Law of Attraction books and watching videos again. I genuinely wanted to reconnect with the source. 2023 was a challenging year that tested my faith in myself, people and the universe. I came out of it a bit dented but stronger and resolved to return to my spiritual roots.

Anyhoo, what do lawnmowers have to do with the law of attraction?

I sat in bed a few nights ago and contemplated how the law of attraction works. I figured the universe works alongside us, like a colleague working to complete a project.

Here’s the weird thought that popped into my head: –

Take a petrol-driven lawnmower with a pulley thing used to get it started. We hold the handle down, pull the pulley, and start the mower.

OK? Still with me?

We push the mower along, cutting the grass, and the lawnmower does its job. If we let go of the handle, the mower stops. So, here’s my analogy: –

1. We instigate the manifestation by taking action (starting the mower)
2. The universe cooperates because we have given it a directive
3. We must hold the handle (thought/intention/belief) for the mower (the universe) to keep working
4. If we let go of the handle, the universe assumes we no longer want it to work with us

I know it’s a simplistic notion, but I’ve found that I get more traction and better results if I take action. If I take my eye off the ball and start doubting the law of attraction, it agrees with my thoughts and disappears to help someone else.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on my concept.

The digital marketing industry is growing exponentially. It’s an attractive career move for most people because learning the steps to succeed as a freelance digital marketer is easy.

Digital marketing allows you to work independently according to the schedule you decide. You can choose your niche and work with diverse projects.

Ok, that sounds great. What’s the downside?

Like any freelance work, there are no health or pension benefits. Depending on your direction, finding paying clients could involve an ongoing hustle, and that is tedious as hell.

The more straightforward direction is to create digital products, but the caveat is you need to learn how to drive organic (free) traffic to your offers. You can build a faceless brand if you don’t like being on camera.

Pros of Being a Freelance Digital Marketer

• Independence: Choose when and where you work.
• Remote Work: It’s easy to fulfil tasks working from home.
• Flexibility: You can fit the work around your family, workouts, and routine appointments. No asking a boss for time off.
• Variety: Choose which projects you want to work on. Create digital products that interest you. Switch direction whenever you need a change.
• Income: Once you master digital marketing, it can become a lucrative career.

Cons of Being a Freelance Digital Marketer

• Lack of Daily Human Interaction: Most freelancers learn to deal with the solitary aspects of working from home, but if you are a person who enjoys being with others, it can be a lonely life.
• Constant Hustle: There’s no salary, so freelance digital marketers must plan ahead to ensure cash flow stays healthy. That’s not easy, and workflow can change in a heartbeat (firsthand experience of that!)
• Feast or Famine: Some months, the money flows in and others you may struggle to pay the bills.
• Competition: More people are discovering digital marketing as a career

Options for Getting Started

There are so many ways to start and grow your digital marketing business. Here are some of the ways I am doing it:

A Done-For You Business

The DFY business is my preferred option because it is the easiest for beginners

What I love about the DFU business model

1. It’s beginner friendly
2. It’s an affiliate model. You can earn up to 85% commissions with 2-tiers, which means passive income
3. No tech setup
4. No payment processors. The company takes care of every step of the sale
5. Paid weekly
6. It’s easier to “sell” because of these benefits

Master Resell Rights

Not everyone wants a DFU business. Read about the 3 most popular master resell rights products (I update regularly) or, if you want a low cost option that helps with your spiritual and personal development, read my article about the lovely Inner Bloom MRR.

In my experience, master resell rights can be harder to sell. There is no passive income. It’s full on work. The main benefit is the high-ticket option. I moved the DFY business it is easier for beginners to make sales.

Conclusion

I wouldn’t change my direction as a digital marketer for the world. I love the variety, and I’ve opted not to work with clients at this early stage. I’ve had three years of client work as a copywriter. That was enough for me!

My recommendation is to take the Google Digital Marketing Certificate Course. It’s a great foundational course that provides an excellent overview of life as a digital marketer. I’ve linked to all of their digital courses, which are all free.

The law of allowing is likely one of the biggest stumbling blocks you knowingly or unknowingly encounter during your journey to manifest the life of your dreams.

Why is that?

Well, for one thing, you’re human; for another, we try to manipulate what is, gain control, influence the outcome, chase goals, and generally fight against anything that isn’t on our perceived map of reality.

Is It Genuinely Possible To Be OK With Whatever Does And Doesn’t Happen?

When my fiancé died in a cycling accident in 2020, my brain turned to fish food. I couldn’t grasp how David could be alive one minute and gone from my life forever in the space of an hour. Shock has a nasty effect on you physically and mentally, and I had so many things to contemplate about the impact on my life.

I clung to spiritual practices for five months before I moved to a smaller rental. Because the loss crushed my mental resources, I relied on the law of attraction to put me in the right place in front of the right people. I couldn’t help myself, so I prayed for guiding hands.

Alongside coping with the grief of losing my best friend and the love of my life, there was a question of financial survival. I had no money, no job, and no savings. After I moved, my emotional protection collapsed. I quickly found work and created an income, but felt hollow inside.

I questioned the Universe, God, or whoever oversees us. Why take one of the kindest men on the planet? I was baffled why my entire life was around loss? Why wasn’t I allowed to be happy and why did my happiness always have to end abruptly?

Three months later, I had to have David’s elderly dog put to sleep and shortly after, my favourite dog suddenly became ill and had to be put to sleep from an internal bleed caused by a tumour on her liver that we had no idea about.

I howled like a wounded animal driving back from the vet. How could life be so cruel? The dog that kept me laughing when I wanted to die was gone.

The final straw was breaking my hip in a freak martial arts accident in December 2021. Seriously, come on, Universe. I can’t take much more adversity.

So, you get the picture. Life was utter shit.

Waking Up

It took a long time, but in 2023, I began waking up. The Universe was, once again, laughing at my expense. I got laid off from two clients and suddenly found myself without an income again. But a weird thing happened.

I accepted. Stopped caring. I stopped fighting, and surrendered to the higher power.

It sounds easy, but it wasn’t. Like most of us, the urge to interfere is hard wired in me. How could I possibly allow whatever was to come without worrying about running out of money and becoming homeless?

My friends were baffled. “But you’re so calm, Jan,” they said, and I shrugged without explaining why I’d let go of control. I slipped into the stream of existence and told it to do as it wished. No longer fwould I fight or question adversity and would trust in the greater plan. I believed it would carry me into the stream of abundance, and it eventually did.

Weirdly, it’s working out.

How the Heck Do you Allow Everything to be OK?

Yeah, and I mean everything. You can’t pick and choose what you will and won’t allow. You take it on the chin for anything that does or doesn’t come your way. Here are a few examples:

• You look in the mirror and accept you are overweight and cannot fit into your clothes. Still, you feel happy you are alive and well.
• When a driver cuts you up on the road, you wish him well and acknowledge that you are safe.
• You don’t allow yourself to become unbalanced by adverse world events.
• You don’t try to change your loved ones to fit in with the version of themselves you’d prefer.
• You don’t try to influence the opinions of others even when you vehemently disagree.
• You see beauty and joy in the smallest things in life and nature.
• You accept physical pain, such as arthritis.
• If a relationship ends, you accept it has reached its peak and is no longer for you and the other person.
• You lose your job, and don’t get angry with your employer.
• A colleague goes behind your back. You accept he is a flawed being, as we all are.
• Your friend is making poor financial decisions. You offer support without judgment rather than “advising” her or commenting on her choices.

In short, you allow people, life and situations to play out around you without feeling the need to change what is happening or feeling insecure because it isn’t working out.

Try This Technique for Allowing

I just made this up, but it works.

Imagine there’s a door to a magical room. But toys are cluttering up the doorway.

You cannot get into the room, nor can anyone else. It’s Christmas, and you want to buy new toys, but you have nowhere to put them unless you clear away all the toys in front of the door.

The magical room is enormous and can hold many things you desire. Still, you like the toys and don’t want to move them, but you still want the new ones.

See the problem?

Oh, heck, maybe it isn’t such a good analogy, but I hope you get my drift. You cannot manifest something if the space isn’t there for it.

Making Choices

The law of allowing frees you from the desire to control. You still have choices, of course. Primarily, you can hoose how to react to external events. Choose love and seek emotional balance.

Allowing is challenging. It’s tough, and you will repeatedly fall back into controlling or resistance patterns. However, as long as you stay bound to these patterns, your manifestations will fall flat.

The law of allowing means there MUST be a space for the manifestation, and we MUST accept that it may come to us via a bit of a dog’s leg map.

If you feel you want to interfere, tell yourself, “It is none of my business. I trust the divine plan and accept this situation.”

Allow others to make their own mistakes. Be a friend, partner or colleague by being the person who doesn’t judge or feel compelled to share an (unasked-for) opinion.

Conclusion

I don’t know why David died. Perhaps I wouldn’t be the person I am now if it hadn’t happened. I’ve risen to challenges, overcome impossible odds and navigated life alone. I am supporting myself emotionally and financially, and, In June 2024, I embarked on a new chapter with an exciting business opportunity.

Had I been fearful, I would have found another “job” quickly and pushed myself back into misery. Life would have tossed me around until I landed where I was supposed to be. While training for the new business, I discovered I was profoundly missing creativity and authenticity. I have that now.

I still miss David and would give up a lot to have him back, but I accept that he departed from this life and gave me the room to develop spiritually and grow into a better person.

His death taught me that I can love deeply. I wasn’t fully aware of how much I loved David until he was no longer there. And let’s be honest, the Western world does not equip us to manage grief. We don’t talk about it, and it comes as a weird surprise when our parents and other loved ones die.

The law of allowing, though challenging, will have the biggest impact on your ability to manifest. When the ***t hits the fan, instead of reacting, detach with curiosity and say, “Well, that’s interesting.”

Good luck. Take your time; don’t beat yourself up when you slip back. The law of allowing takes self-awareness, commitment and dedication to practice. In time, it gets easier. I promise.

Do you often feel like your prayers aren’t getting heard and nothing is changing in your life? Well, get ready because I’m about to reveal a game-changer – a prayer that can work miracles in your life if you stick with it.

Your wishes haven’t materialised because you may have played the wrong game for most of your life, and that’s not your fault. This prayer isn’t just any prayer; it’s the key to unlocking the law of attraction in its purest form. Imagine your deepest desires woven into the fabric of reality and coming to you easily.

Imagine thinking like a billionaire and stepping into the endless flow of abundance.

When I started using the the magical prayer, I began seeing subtle shifts in my everyday life. Synchronicities began showing up, and I started feeling the magic that had been missing for many years. I’m on the cusp of massive change, life-changing abundance and the freedom I’ve craved my entire adult life.

Open your mind wide because we’re inviting true abundance into your life.

Step One: The Magical Prayer

Forget what you thought about prayer concerning the law of attraction; this is the missing piece you’ve been searching for.

Here’s what to do: say the magical prayer at sunrise or before bedtime. Why? Because that’s when your subconscious is wide awake, doing its thing, seeing what your conscious mind can’t. So, close your eyes, take a deep breath, and say,

“I humbly accept the gifts from my father and am open to giving the best of myself every day. Nothing can interfere with God’s will because everything is already created by him. I deserve a successful life overflowing with prosperity, love, and excellent health. I am no longer a slave to fear. I am pure love, so I deserve all that is good. I ask for these things in harmony with the entire world according to the Divine will, and thank you, Father, for hearing me.”

When you say the magical prayer, infuse it with deep feelings, unwavering faith, and strong belief. Remember what Jesus of Nazareth said, “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For everyone that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.” (Matthew 7:8)

In simple terms, that means if you ask, you get. If you look for what you want, you will find it; if you knock, all doors will open.

Jesus and our respected ancestors supported the idea of unity. Modern quantum physics calls it the principle of non-locality, showing that everything is connected in the Universe. This knowledge is deliberately kept from you because it gives you power. We are programmed to stay small.

F**k that; let’s turn the tables on smallness and take back our power, create everything we need and want, and become an extraordinary manifesting force.

Throughout our lives, we’ve been taught that we’re passive observers of reality, that life happens to us and that our outcomes are just a roll of the dice. Still, the people who shaped us, our parents and peers, didn’t teach us that we have more control over our lives than we realise, perhaps because they didn’t know and simply repeated their programming.

It’s Not Your Fault!

Society programmed us into an individualistic mindset, reinforcing a belief system contradicting our innate understanding, that part of us that is all-knowing and powerful. It’s time to shake off those restricting beliefs. Prayer is a powerful tool, a direct link to your true self, the Universe, and everything around you.

The Universe works through connections; when you tune into its vibes, you attract similar energies like Jesus said, “The kingdom you’re looking for is inside you. Reach into that inner power, the I am in you.”

Link up with the vast Universe by sensing that you will naturally attract what you want.

Miracles aren’t just for Saints and angels. You can have them too. Unlock your potential by connecting with your inner Divinity, your I am. Miracles are part of how things naturally work in the Universe, though we don’t see them much in our daily lives. They’re there, but we’ve become blind to their presence.

This prayer awakens your ability to see, hear and create miracles.

You can create anything you want if you enter a state of prayer, believing you already have it, and then you will receive it. That was Jesus’ promise to make your dreams real. Dive into prayer, knowing deep down that what you want is already yours. It’s not just hoping; it’s a promise.

Your thoughts hold power; they shape your world. Take charge, and you’ll guide your life where you want.

Step Two: Managing Your Current Reality

Your journey to craft the life you want is starting. Let’s move on to another practical and effective method of manifestation of Miracles. The first step is to look at the current circumstances you don’t like. Write them on a piece of paper, for example, your lack of money, poor health, overall work situation, and everything you no longer want to see in your life.

Understand that having a lot or not having much, whether money, love, or health, is like points on a scale. Doing well with money, struggling with love, feeling lonely, being healthy and not so healthy, they’re all in the same range.

The main thing is knowing these issues are different levels of the same basic idea. If money problems are bothering you, focus on what you want instead. List all the good things you want in your life and say prayers and positive things about them.

Get rid of any doubts in your mind when you’re feeling unsure. Don’t just say, “I don’t believe this.” Take control and say, “I’m working towards doing well with money. I’m on my way to getting the job I dream about. I’m about to find someone who loves me and makes me happy.”

At first, you may feel like a fraud. After all, reality is staring you in the face: the tax bill, unemployment, loneliness and the busted car. Don’t allow yourself to sink into the tangible crap of reality because, if you do, it busts the power of the prayer.

Step Three: Moving Into the Knowing State

Remember, the key is to have a strong belief that matches your positive goals. Picture what you want and believe it’s possible. The mix of imagining and true belief is a strong force that starts the journey to reaching your goals and dreams.

By picturing what you want and genuinely believing they can happen, you create a powerful force that turns your desires into tangible results. The Universe (Or God) will direct you to the people, circumstances or events necessary to achieve your goal.

Don’t focus on the doing. Simply look at what manifests, express gratitude and take inspired action.

The *doing* will happen automatically as your subconscious mind activates to confirm the new reality.  You will find yourself taking inspired action. You will be at the right place at the right time with the right people, and there’s an element of luck and synchronicity too.

When you believe – despite your physical reality – you eventually move into a “feeling” state. Celebrate that. It’s a sign you’re on the right vibration. Stick with the feeling, and you will inevitably move into a “knowing” state. That feels like placing an order for something you want and awaiting delivery. You “know” it is on the way, but you’re unsure of the delivery date. However, it is coming.

The “knowing” state is delicious. You start feeling excited and have no doubts about the Universe fulfilling your order.

Note: By the end of 2024 I was in a truly knowing state. Nothing could shift my belief that something fantastic was coming. I manifested a new car that cost me NOTHING! and it’s only four years old. I finally got rid of my clunky, fourteen year old banger.

I created two new high-paying clients and other exciting things started happening. When you start getting results, you shift into a higher state of belief because you have tangible evidence that manifestation works.

Be Patient: Hold Your Mindset

I was battling with depression and loneliness for most of 2024 and found it challenging to hold the belief that my life could improve.

The honest truth is I struggle to sustain meditation practice. I need short audio tracks I can do in a few minutes. So, as well as reciting The Magical Prayer daily, I listened to audio tracks like The Genius Wave and The Billionaire Brainwave. These proven audio waves really helped to get my head straight and I finished 2024 feeling excited and optimistic.

I now have unshiftable belief that I can work towards becoming a millionaire.

I am still in awe of how manifestation works once you get to the state of knowing. It’s all about reprogramming your mind to undo all of the limitations that growing up put upon you.

Finally, trust in the higher power to handle your concerns, and don’t try to control “how” good things will happen. It’s not our job to work out the “how” of our manifestations. Trust the Universe and start feeling positive. When you feel super positive, it’s like it’s really happening, and you feel terrific.

The disadvantages of faceless marketing can limit your income-earning potential. However, don’t worry. There are many faceless influencers making 7-figure incomes, so there’s no reason you cannot succeed.

5 Disadvantages of Faceless Marketing

1. It Can Take Longer To Gain Traction

Branding and marketing models rely on building trust with your audience, which is easier to achieve when you show up on camera daily. It can be more challenging to capture attention with faceless digital marketing, so it requires a bit more creativity to capture attention and inspire trust.

2. A Lack Of Personal Connection

Building a loyal following is tricky because people may find engaging with a faceless brand harder. Getting brand deals can also be more difficult because faceless marketing doesn’t have a person leading engagement.

3. Difficulty in Establishing Brand Trust

The lack of personal branding makes it more challenging to build trust. To overcome that, you must create a solid, recognisable brand that talks directly to your audience so that they feel heard and understood.

4. It Can Be Harder To Achieve Long-Term Sustainability

Faceless marketing can produce short-term success but may fail to achieve long-term growth and sustainability. It’s generally easier to produce content for faceless marketing, but the audience may lose interest unless you create a strong brand.

5. Consistent Branding

Before launching a faceless brand, you must have a cast-iron strategy and 100% clarity about your brand and its message. Some faceless brands are a bit wishy-washy, which dilutes the brand message and confuses the audience. It’s easier to get a personality to shine when your face is on camera consistently.

Overcoming The Disadvantages of Faceless Marketing

To address the potential issues of faceless marketing, consider the following strategies:

1. Clear and consistent messaging – be clear on your brand’s message. What do you represent? Who is your audience? Identify their problems and present the solutions.
2. Create a strong brand personality – Develop a strong brand, tell stories, and choose impactful colours and high-quality visuals to connect with your audience.
3. Consider creating an AI avatar – it’s reasonably easy and affordable to create an AI avatar, and it preserves the human connection, even though people know it is an AI.
4. Explore engagement techniques – incorporate polls and quizzes, keep up with trends, and be creative. Learn snazzy video editing techniques to keep attention.
5. To build trust, be open and transparent – present factual information with supporting data, and share human stories.
6. Diversify social media platforms – one video on TikTok might go viral and fall flat on Instagram. Every channel is different and needs a tweak to uploaded content. Explore different platforms to see which audience resonates best with your content.

Faceless marketing can be successful, but connecting with your audience requires more effort. Stay on point. Keep going and check analytics to see where you might be losing watchers.

You don’t need to go entirely faceless. You can incorporate some on-camera material. However, commit to a strategy and stick with it. Your potential options are:

• 100% faceless
• 50/50
• 80% faceless, 20% on-camera
• 20% on camera, 80% faceless

If you’re worrying about your appearance on video, use Capcut video editing software.

Capcut is free and can smooth out your appearance, add make-up, and even make you look slimmer. Though it’s cheating a bit, if it gets you on camera and helps build your confidence, then go for it.

Capcut also has lots of fun effects to keep people watching and you can add subtitles.

In the epic 700-page book Reality Transurfing by Vadim Zeland, the author states that pendulums can negatively affect our ability to manifest our reality in the way we want.

Pendulums are thought structures created within corporations, political parties, religious movements, cults, large groups of people, and families.

The concept of pendulums is when a group of people are brought together energetically with the same thoughts. It creates a vibration of collective consciousness that we easily get swept into. For instance, the church is a pendulum, with the leaders encouraging their patrons to adhere to a fixed way of thinking within Christianity.

Observe political parties during an election. Campaigning politicians and their minions thrive on the power of pendulum influence by trying to sway people into their way of thinking, luring them with promises of policy changes and improvements to local services, etc.

Pendulums are not necessarily harmful to us – although, in many cases, they are – but awareness of them can help you avoid being pulled into one unknowingly.

It’s impossible to avoid pendulums altogether, as they are the fabric of many aspects of our lives. However, as a manifester, it’s essential to develop self-awareness to prevent the influence of a pendulum that could suppress your efforts at manifesting your dream life.

Reality Transurfing

In Vadim Zeland’s book, he encourages us not to be afraid of pendulums. Yes, they are powerful, but we must shape our thinking to learn how to use pendulums for a positive purpose and ignore them if they have the potential to be harmful or disorienting.

Pendulums can affect your ability to manifest.

The strength of a pendulum grows with the energy of its followers. The vibration becomes powerful as the thought energy creates a higher frequency for the pendulum. At some point, it develops an unstoppable momentum.

Here’s a thought. Think back to 2020 when the government first announced the Covid-19 pandemic. At first, nobody took it seriously. After all, we’d never experienced a pandemic, so we had no framework for how it might develop and affect our lives.

After the first lockdown, the pendulum began building. Then, as governments rolled out vaccinations and announced thousands of deaths daily, the world’s energy and vibration became locked onto the pandemic.

Upon the announcement of the shortage of toilet rolls, the bloody world went mad, fighting in the supermarkets over toilet paper.

Suddenly, the pandemic became real, and the world focused on the problem.

With more deaths globally – all of us knowing someone in our circle – the pendulum’s momentum was in full swing. There wasn’t a day the world news didn’t remind us of the impact of Covid-19.

Amid the anti-vaccination and conspiracy theories, pendulums gained momentum over the months.

Covid-19 was the biggest pendulum since the last war.

Then, somehow, in time, the Covid pendulum began to slow down. People stopped wearing masks, fewer people were dying, and supermarket shelves were replenished. Society’s thoughts turned to other things, and eventually, the pendulum died.

Stop Giving Energy to the Pendulum

Pendulums are hungry beasts. They need thought energy and vibration to survive. A pendulum needs a constant flow of adherents to sustain momentum. A destructive pendulum, such as a cult, will force its agenda onto its adherents until they forget they have minds of their own.

The news media is the worst protractor for pendulums. It broadcasts fearful messages daily to the masses, causing people to fret and worry about world problems and the future.

If you buy into the media, you engage with a pendulum that wants and needs your energy and gets lots of it without much effort. You’re a good person. You worry about people starving in the world, those at war, and dogs dumped in the streets or ill-treated by humans.

I’m not saying you stick your head in the sand and ignore the hungry media, but be aware of where and how you give your energy and thoughts. Divert worry into action and let the energy go. Don’t feed the pendulum. It will bite you.

The media is flooding us with stories of artificial intelligence (AI) and how it will take millions of jobs by 2030. If you start worrying about it, you’ve fallen into the pendulum.

Instead, look at your current skills and assess if you could benefit from additional training. It’s one of the reasons I shifted into affiliate marketing. After several years of consistent writing work, I noticed a lack of open positions and hundreds of applicants for open roles. I found it more challenging to find work. So, I diverted my skills instead of falling into the energy of Facebook pendulums of writing groups where they’re all fretting about the lack of work.

Now, let’s explore more about the types of pendulums we encounter.

Everything is Energy

Everything is energy. Thoughts become things as we springboard into action from our thoughts, emotions, and beliefs. That which we resist persists, so as long as you fight a pendulum, you give it energy. It will keep swinging, pulling more people in to help it thrive. Ignore it, and it will leave you alone.

Make a list of all the pendulums you can think of, but here are a few to consider:

• Pharmaceutical industry – the biggest money-making corporations worldwide. Are they genuinely concerned about the nation’s health, or do they want to sell the most profitable drugs?
• Football matches – fans get swept up in the collective energy of team supporters
• Mass public events – like Glastonbury in the UK
• Political – enough said on that
• Religious groups
• Extended families
• Criminal gangs
• Wars

How to Avoid Getting Caught in A Pendulum

Whether you fight for or against something, you give energy to a pendulum. The only way to extinguish pendulums is to care neither way and let go of strong feelings or beliefs, whether positive or negative.

Pointedly ignoring a pendulum gives it energy, so admit to the existence of a pendulum in your life. If you’re feeling angry, unsettled, fearful or resentful but don’t know why, explore the presence of a pendulum.

After identifying a pendulum, the next step is to develop indifference. Even when you feel its pull, shrug it off without giving it mental energy. Disinterest will eventually collapse the pendulum because it cannot sustain momentum without the energy of its adherents.

Is It Easy To Shake Off A Pendulum?

Probably not, because we aren’t aware when we get caught up in one. As you develop awareness of pendulums, you might be surprised how many exist. Of course, they’re not all harmful, but you can differentiate between positive and negative pendulums with awareness.

I got caught in a “loneliness” pendulum after my fiancé died in an accident in 2020.

You’re at your weakest during grief, and over a few years, I spiralled into a malingering depression, believing I would be alone forever and would never find anyone again as unique as my fiancé. It’s only recently I realised I’d become trapped by a pendulum, often fed by other widows and how society negates grief.

Become curious rather than judgemental. Acknowledge your thoughts and allow them to dissolve. If you feel emotional, remain curious and detached as you observe your emotions. That way, you don’t get caught up in the game that pendulums play.

Conclusion

Pendulums are part of the fabric of life. We cannot avoid them, but we can prevent them from overly influencing our lives. Now you are aware of their presence. You have the tools that most of society simply do not have. Most would deny the presence of pendulums because they have become conditioned to their place within the pendulum and, even if they’re miserable, quite enjoy the stability of familiarity.

Reality Transurfing is a challenging book to read. It has a lot of repetition, although that’s necessary to absorb the content entirely. However, it’s a book I will keep forever and reread many times. The first reading is the hardest, and I’m excited to dip back in now that I understand Reality Transurfing on a deeper level.

Zeland has another book, Transurfing in 78 Days — A Practical Course in Creating Your Own Reality. It’s more of a glimpse of Reality Transurfing, and I understand it better after reading Reality Transurfing.
