    Intermittent fasting

    HOT! 
    I am doing IF as well. Although I started at the from the paleo angle when my gallbladder gave up and I had to clean up the food. Then I found the leangains-site and shifted from paleo to whatever I want that my lack of gallbladder can handle. For those of you that are trying it out and have a...

    Hiring SEO specialist

    MARKETING 
    How much SEO work have you done by yourself? I do not think you should go out and hire someone if you do not know what they are supposed to fix. If you have not done so; evaluate your site's SEO with free tools that are available. Also I would suggest a trial account on SEOMoz since they have...

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I have a couple of different but the one on my card is mail@firstnamelastname.com. I am my company, no scaling business here.

    Proof that execution is more important than the idea

    IDEA 
    I read an old post by Derek Sievers last week that sums ideas and execution really good, I think. Read it: Ideas are just a multiplier of execution - Carl-Erik

    How to make more sales with your business website

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    As I see it you do not need to fill the entire block with "information". Keep it clean, with focus on the button and some complementary copy. You can do just one big a$$ button or you can work the button in with some nice micro-copy. As always I am much better at actually drawing it up rather...

    I'm good at Sportsinvestment, but my capital is too low

    HOT! 
    I think you should focus on getting the site 110% finished before you start to think to much about getting visitors. When you have that covered you can start chasing visitors and work on A/B-testing. A good read regarding launching a site is the original marketing plan for mint.com from 2007...

    How to make more sales with your business website

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    No problem Brian, I will attach an example I drew up in Axure real quick. What I was talking about in my previous post is the fact that most users will not see your entire webpage if it grows with testimonials and such. With that your opt-in and buy now-button in the top disappears if the...

    How to make more sales with your business website

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I am not Jusaentrpreneur, but I will give you a tip. Do not forget to have value in the bottom of the page if you have the user scroll for testimonials and such. Just tweak the buy now button and opt-in to a one line block that serves as an end to the page. - Carl-Erik

    Name suggestions for brewery start-up???

    HOT! 
    If you are doing a local micro-brewery I think you should keep the local connection; it is always like try local brands. And works much better if your business scales. With that in mind my suggestion would be to keep Austin, if that is where you are starting up, and add brewery, brews or...

    Best country to start an online business in?

    Tjenare stolpioni. A quick tip is to get hold of an accounting firm or similar that has experience with this. Your idea is good, but you actually have to live in Panama for 180 days per year, so bump that month up to 3-4, in order to please Skatteverket. I have had similar plans on how to...

    Destination; Future - The clerk progress

    Hi Mike, thanks for stopping by. I am probably going to do this as a regular thread with focus more on my business as a whole and keep the future progress updates regarding the competition in the blog section. - Carl-Erik

    Destination; Future - The clerk progress

    EXECUTION 
    Progress update #1 Alright. First progress update, a lot of things to cover. I was actually planning on writing this as a blog but my 10 posts did not qualify me, or the create post-button is trapped by the cache in my browsers. Any way. I am all signed up and ready to rumble in the...

    Destination; Future - The clerk progress

    EXECUTION 
    I was advised by Eskil to start a progress thread when I introduced myself so you can follow my endeavours. My initial thought was to wait until I have received the book, possibly even until I have read it, before running to far with any ideas of mine. But things change, and right now the...

    Comment on Instagram's Success

    SOCIAL MEDIA WEB/DIGITAL 
    In the tech industry acquisitions often are talent driven, which is the case here. What Zuckerberg really did was buy the leading social image sharing platform, and the team that built it, which will make facebook much stronger in that space even if they let instagram live as a separate service...

    Thesis Wordpress theme

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I have used thesis in the past for a couple of sites and was very pleased. It is a solid theme and if you have some rudimentary html/css/js/php-skills you should be able to get it working like you would like. And a follow-up question; Why are you looking at thesis instead of free themes?

    Hey Likwid. Congratulations on getting the site up. I have read some of your progress before I signed up and I have to say you are really doing great. How are the video coming along for the site and how are you planning on displaying it on the site? Also here are some of my feedback...

    Forever Jobless has launched!

    HOT! 
    Great blog snowbank. I'd also turn the green a bit darker, you might try #1B4A38 with #386A51 as hover. You might also try to squeeze the line-height down a bit from 2 to 1.6 on the p-tags so that the paragraphs does not flow together. Keep the good posts up, I look forward to the read.

    A look at the Fastlane

    Tjenare Eskil, tackar och bockar för välkomnandet. It is nice to hear that I might be on to something. I will try to get my store running in the not so distant future and will definitely run a progress-thread for that. And I will probably pay your PPC-thread a visit to get some early...
