It's Only About Community, oh, and Laughter.

Like I said, I will be using this blog to keep YOU, our members, friends, family, and fans, up to speed on the latest. As in where we are, and where we are going.

I've always been the VERY straight forward type, saying the things other people only think, as do a lot of assholes. If you told me a month ago that I would be dealing with a bunch of assholes every day, I would have laughed. Well, I am now.

And the coolest thing is they are almost all totally NICE assholes who are rallying with me to just create some laughter in an otherwise dreary-ass world. How cool is that!!! 

The more I talk to you all, the more excited I get about your ideas of what this will be. I told a high-level marketing guy i know that I had a dream that we will have over a million paid members of Assaholics Anonymous in five years, and he agreed. Who knows right? I just know it will be whatever YOU all want it to be. And YOU are on the ground floor.

In order for this to happen I must do one thing; Set up the structure to provide high quality products and programs that you want and are proud to be a part of. So much so that you start rallying other Assholes, or "merry pranksters" as Ken Kesey called them. 

So far, you wanted memberships, membership cards, and certificates. You got 'em. I counted this morning; we already have 115 members, in ONE forking month, all organic word of mouth, with NO forking advertising or promotion budgets. No shit, right? How crazy is that.

Here's the latest wassup.

• In that one month, we now have over 10,000 followers on TikTok. We are now starting to roll out to other socials as well, so find us and follow us on them, too.
• We just rolled out the AmbASSador Affiliate program you suggested. And we have two AmbASSadors already. 
• At your suggestion, we started the 5 Minute Challenge for newbies, so they can see this shit really does work. HaHa.
• And we are putting on a contest with a $100 prize to the one with the best Assaholic prank/reaction videos, as voted on by the membership and the public. Members, the deadline for entries will be August 31st.
• I'm going to put out word tomorrow to get reviews of the things you all bought. If we are doing things the right way, I want to know so we can do more of it. BUT, if we are not, I especially want to know about that!
• The memberships and VIP Gold Cards have been the biggest sellers. We have 12 Gold Cards left. We already put in the reorder. But these are metal cards and take a minute to make. They said we should get them July 5th to 12th. So, after we sell out, I will let you know here when they are back in stock.  

What else, oh, this weekend I worked on getting an email system set up to best serve the membership. Expect a couple emails as I get it all set up.   

To be honest, a lot of this shit is new to me, like building a store and things like inventory, shipping etc. I totally get and love the video/creative part. Thats my jam. After i get the structure down I'm going to hire a couple people for the operations side.  

But on this online business side, the only thing I know for sure is I don't know shit. But there are a lot of people who do. 

My favorite consultant in this space, who I LOVE because of his focus on building community and making the customer happy, is a guy named Pat Flynn. Look him up. He's got a couple of really good books out on Amazon. "Will it Fly" and "Superfans." If you are in this space, check him out. 

We are going down the runway now, if this thing flies you will have him to thank for it! My prior experience involved being funny and building community, so it's a perfect fit. 

And that's what it is ALL about. Community. For me, half of my day is taking classes and learning new stuff in order for me to build YOUR perfect community. 

At a graduation party a friend asked what I was doing now. Out of the blue I said, "Building a small comedic community to create laughter and do good."

Thats a good summary. I'm glad you are a part of this. Mad love! - Da' Min.
