    How do I Find my First 10 Clients as a Student with a Small Social Circle?

    QUESTION 
    The same is true for SaaS (lots of setup time, lots of dev time, and lots of competition) but I would recommend SaaS way before recommending a course. Why? It's a better value proposition. Think about it: with a SaaS, what the end user wants is easy to access and only needs someone to spend time...

    How do I Find my First 10 Clients as a Student with a Small Social Circle?

    QUESTION 
    Congratulations! You're going to an elite institution with high-quality people. That's more Fastlane than you think. By this time next year, hopefully you've met over 1000 new people, all who are connected to different people. I will say, though: why not just sell discord bots instead of a...

    Is "the Skool Game" a scam?

    SIDE HUSTLE SOCIAL MEDIA QUESTION 
    Fair. And I don't mean to insult the bizopp crowd because we've all been where they are. And as for the other side: I respect Russell Brunson and I think Clickfunnels is good software, but I remember that Russell did the exact same thing as these Skool guys. He targeted first-time business...

    Is "the Skool Game" a scam?

    SIDE HUSTLE SOCIAL MEDIA QUESTION 
    Smart people can make silly assertions. I'm curious to see how this goes. I don't know much about the "selling community" business but I've been paying MJ for a while to be here, and the reason I do is because of the community itself (and MJ, who is here literally every day) So it serves to...

    WRONG. Every business needs to be doing this all the time and if you're not, you're falling behind

    Is "the Skool Game" a scam?

    SIDE HUSTLE SOCIAL MEDIA QUESTION 
    I thought Sam was smart lol. Dude had one of the best MMO funnels on Facebook. Couldn't go a day without seeing his face for a while. But he's not wrong. There will be SOME people who do exactly that. There is a segment of people who are hungry for information & will just click click click and...

    Is "the Skool Game" a scam?

    SIDE HUSTLE SOCIAL MEDIA QUESTION 
    For S+Gs I signed up for Skool First thing they did after signup was send me to their affiliate program! To create a community it costs $99/month, free or paid. Compare that with Discord which is free, or you can upgrade with Nitro which is $9.99. Also compare that with Kajabi, which is like...

    Is $100M Leads book great read or just BS?

    MARKETING 
    Cuz they don't trust you and they trust their guys. Put two and two together. Here's the "secret" I've found: a lot of businesses that rely on fulfillment partners of any sort will eventually have a problem with one of them at one point or another. So really if you just keep showing up for...

    Is $100M Leads book great read or just BS?

    MARKETING 
    Read this Read this This is indeed a good read. Do not read it cover to cover. Read the index, then choose one of the methods based on (1) where your people are (2) your ability to target them specifically (3) your ability to reach as many of them as possible and (4) the ability to present...

    10 years here. Curious what had the most impact on you

    FEEDBACK 
    It would be very hard to name one thing, I've been following you for a long time and have used what you say to help others, which in turn makes me money. Overall I think I learned to think about ads differently. To think about every visitor as a human being looking for something in particular...

    HOT! CHAT 
    I also got 30/36. I thought I was bad at reading facial cues, but I'm just as good at it as anyone. What I found fascinating is that I couldn't verbalize why I thought the way I thought about their facial expressions. Thinking about it didn't help, and I also got impatient, so I just started...

    HOT! CHAT 
    To everyone who has been laid off from their jobs: You'll be alright. People tend to personalize layoffs and start letting the negative, self-referencing thoughts run rampant. This is not the way to go. Those thoughts tell you lies to make you feel better about a negative thing that happened...

    New to Entrepreneurship - Does Anyone Need Help?

    PEOPLE 
    Wrong. America is the single best country to do cold outreach. I live in Canada. Cold outreach is basically illegal. Most places in Europe, same thing. Asia, Africa, South America, they don't trust strangers and they rely on their family and friends even though they're incompetent. So America is...

    Any decent get rich quick books that you've read?

    HOT! CHAT 
    You Only Have To Get Rich Once - this book, if I recall correctly, teaches how to get rich by speculating using other people's money. If there's any way to "get rich quick, with little effort and no money down" it's that. It's an old book but the lessons still stuck with me. Where I live, a lot...

    Comprehension: 10/10 - I understood you perfectly, you used the right words, and I didn't notice any grammatical errors (I probably won't notice them though, and I myself make grammatical mistakes) Confidence: 10/10 - You don't stumble on your words & you say what I think you mean Accent - 5/10...

    STOP using a normal hook for your short form tips & tricks videos

    IDEA MARKETING SOCIAL MEDIA 
    Not true. That's a limiting belief. Nobody knows who I am, but several companies pay me thousands a month each to help them solve their problems. But you're right: "the biggest mistake" is too general of a hook. It's barely a hook. Everyone thinks they have the "biggest mistake" and after...

    Could you charge per session? Per month? Per "program" (say, a 6-week program)?

    Hi, I'm Rohan. 21yo male. I've wasted too much time being scared, I wish to start changing things now. Somehow.

    INTRO 
    Because you're 21. Competent 21 year olds are rare, and they got that way by working at it. Your history is not your destiny! Don't hope. What will you do today to move forward? Welcome to the forum

    Ecommerce business questions

    QUESTION 
    You can set up pre-orders and that's not too big of a deal, you can also let people know of shipping delays But to answer your question: when you're small, demand forecasting is hard, and if you're doing well, the answer is "MORE". So you might want to push ads/marketing but you just don't have...
