    Have a job interview tomorrow.. Tips? (16 Yearold)

    I once had a guy come into an interview wearing a stuffed monkey on his belt. Don't do that.

    If they're doing what you want to do, go ask them how they do it. I suspect any that are doing what you describe are hustling and not building businesses. One of my favorite comments from @JackEdwards is (paraphrased), "When I start a business I think about building something that someone else...

    The "Astonishing Secrets" Thread

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    The fact that we all have a life, work, school, kids, etc. is the very reason that it makes sense to help someone who is actively seeking to simplify processes and save time/money for you. Remember in the book the two brothers building the pyramids, one worked hard building a pyramid and one...

    Ad copy critique

    MARKETING 
    Good stuff! I think the other posters are right. Focus big time on the headlines because on Craigslist that is what determines whether or not your ad gets clicked at all. Try some different ones out and see what works. I loved the analogy of dead guitar strings--a lot of players don't think of...

    Try Again, Picturebooks

    PUBLISHING 
    The more I thought about it, I think it was due to reading it on a Kindle. There are other children's books that have lots of characters in a scene, but the way it shows up on the screen, to a little one, every face looks like a main character. So she was very concerned about the minor...

    I read monster match to my 2 1/2 year old and she liked it. She even started mimicking the monster too, so I think she kind of got the concept. One thing you might watch out for in the illustrations is too many faces per page. The extra characters distracted her from the story, especially the moon.

    I'm looking for a copywriter

    PEOPLE HOT! 
    @DavidofMN is right. You need to provide more information. Different copywriters will often prefer different types of projects or specialize in different niches. I wouldn't send samples just based on your reply. Doesn't sound like a fun project already.

    I agree. I bought Monster Match. I thought it was okay, but not great. I like your illustrations, and the new ones you posted, I like even better, but the flow of writing was just a little off. I was really interested in your project, because a couple of years ago, I wrote a Children's book...

    [PROGRESS THREAD] ChickenHawk's Self-Published Fiction EBooks

    GOLD! 
    I wonder if you could even go so far as to create an anonymous LLC in a state like New Mexico? That way, you could set up payments with Amazon to the anonymous LLC (so even Amazon wouldn't have your real name/SSN for the tax info). Kind of just thinking out loud here....

    $0 to almost $9M in under 5 years

    Funny you should mention this. I am currently researching (doing @JackEdwards 90-day process) two opportunities and one of them is a real need in a specific niche of publishing that I discovered when I started looking to publish my second and third children's books.

    $0 to almost $9M in under 5 years

    Here's a little inspiration. Goruck is a company started by an ex-special forces guy. He took the company from $0 to almost $9M in under 5 years...selling backpacks. But the lesson here is that the company doesn't just sell backpacks. They sell great backpacks (and have expanded into other...

    In Halbert's instructions he says to read through everything once, then go back through and reread every book and newsletter taking "hundreds of notes." The unavoidable fact of the matter is, acquiring a new skill takes both time and effort. To do everything he says in 30 days would, for all...

    That's because you are not the target market for the other ads. The ads are designed to pique the interest of someone who is already disposed to desire those things. It makes sense that "Lazy" would appeal to you--you are on this forum after all. Think about it this way: every day you are...
