I have perfected and I can guide you to master the Craft of getting inside the hearts, minds,
lives, professions, behaviors, and passions of your target audience, while they interact with the online experience you offer them.
These are the users who hold your success in their hands. This ‘experience of their experience’ – what I call the Experience Experience – will reveal insights that are critical to your success, and they are not available to you any other way.
This is all about User Response.
Everything that you attempt online, and therefore much of what you attempt in the world, is totally dependent on User Response. For the user’s benefit, Response means he or she found meaning, value, and relevance in what you offer them. For your benefit, Response means engagements, conversions, and orders.
You are told relentlessly that your online success depends on your content or design or social media or technical excellence or the value of your unique selling proposition. And those are all necessary, but seriously insufficient.
Yes – you still need excellent content, well crafted social engagements, superb design, bullet-proof quality, and relevant value offered. But you cannot rely on any one of them alone, or even several of them.
- Content is absurdly saturated. On WordPress alone, 56 million blog posts are published every month. And a user reading or viewing passive content will only retain about 10% of that content – so therefore its power of influence and its capacity to generate user response are both limited and fleeting. See the ‘Content Saturation sidebar.
- Social media’s value and importance are fading. The growth of participation in social sites has stalled. The world is burned out on social, and people are deleting their social apps, logging off, and reclaiming their lives. See the trend data below.
- Design without substance and value is gratuitous and hollow.
- Value is meaningless unless effectively communicated and unless the users can easily and clearly apply it to their own businesses or their own lives.
- Quality must always be delivered in a meaningful context, with all the other attributes above.

So what’s the answer?
The Experience.
Experience is the now, the future, the differentiator, and the X-factor that drives user response. And you are a Producer of experiences. You must think of yourself as a Producer of virtual experiences that generate User Response.
The exact moment of the user immersed in The Experience of their emotional, cognitive, and behavioral responses to your virtual productions is the critical moment of your success. Every aspect of your USP, value, persona, strategy, message, products, services, offers – all of it – come together at that moment. There is nothing else. That moment is where your online success is going to live or die. Every KPI that you can imagine starts and ends there.
That precise moment, that central dynamic of humans interacting with technology, is the driver of all that happens in the online world. And because online activity is now so predominant, it’s the driver of so much of what happens in the world.
There is a ‘gestalt’ when all those come together in an effective virtual experience – content, design, value, quality. Your capacity to be a Producer of that gestalt is the path to your online success, and therefore your success in the world.
But it’s difficult see that gestalt on your own, you do not have the perspectives or the cognitive reactions or the emotional detectors of your users.
There is only one way: through The Experience Experience.
There is no realm of online knowledge so neglected that has so much potential impact on what can be achieved. Is not the real truth about the value we offer, and how well our audience can find, understand, and apply that value at the center of what we are all about? That’s the User’s Experience that drives all that you are.
In the Human-Computer MasterMind Academy, you’ll discover the Producer’s Experience by getting in the center of that User’s Experience. I not only Craft powerful events that put you in that ‘Experience Experience’, I will teach you and your team how to create that Experience Experience over and over, how to interpret the unique insights revealed with it, and how to act on those discoveries in your operation.
The Academy offers an immersive, high-ROI Experience Experience. My ItsTheUsers.com digital learning system and web platform teaches all the basic, intermediate, and advanced principles.
This is my way of contributing to the entire collective interactive experience in the world today and advancing the state of the online arts.
The Experience Experience in the Human-Computer MasterMind Academy will also:
- Reveal hidden gems about your audience and their needs that point to powerful innovations and ways you can create new value.
