My failed poor executions

[LittleWolfie]

Might be worth your while to try some different search terms. Maybe there's already a thread about "time zone arbitrage."

I couldn't find anything here, that's just a subset of geoarbitarge though or "follow the sun", switching over to another location seamlessly, thus providing 24/7 support. Plenty of advice on how to do this, what software to use,etc

Just like your example above, UK/CAN/AUS cover enough timezones to make it viable.

I/employees/freelancers work during the day, clients get cover at night without paying a premium for night work.

The issue is finding clients or at the very least people in the target market to interview or finding my starving audience as a fastlaner puts it. This always seems to be the problem for me, the cost per person to reach someone is simply too high.

I'm working through the copy, but that doesn't help.

Perhaps I need to go back to concentrating on the slowlane job route,so I can finance a move.

Perhaps I need to go back to concentrating on the slowlane job route,so I can finance a move.

I know that "conventional wisdom" of this forum is to not get stuck in the slowlane. But for you, it makes sense if you can do something that gets you into a slowlane in Birmingham or London, where you have a much better opportunity to pull ahead. If there are more good jobs, more companies you could serve as your clientele, more tech and business minded people to learn from and team up with, maybe a business library or incubator to hang out at, etc., a year in that environment should bring dozens of new people and opportunities into your life.

I will send you a private note about the 24/7 support idea.

I've not thought of trying Birmingham to be honest. I've not had much luck with London, I've had better results with Berlin,Warsaw and Amsterdam . A major issue I've been running into is attending interviews. I'm either arriving mid afternoon (few interviews) or need an overnight hotel/AirBnB (adds expense) now when you think I might need 10 to 100 interviews (100 people for every job) it becomes very expensive,very quickly.

At least if it can be done by skype/phone I can get a million NOs for the price of one NO . As the salesmen say each NO gets you closer to a yes. All of the other cities I mentioned have offered that, UK seems to be the only one that requires you to trudge up to them.

I think in need to get remote work, so that I can move to somewhere better, then I can look for better opportunity (slowlane or not), then I can fastlane.

I'll try a few temp jobs in Birmingham,perhaps I'll have better luck there than London.(That will get me in an area to look for slowlane jobs, and fastlane)

So looking for remote slowlane is a good option too, but again comes back to what value can I add over someone in a lower cost of living area? Why should anyone hire me for remote work?

Would be helpful to figure out where the opportunity are likely to be, what kind of population are we looking at?

A million?.Half a million? 300,000? I can work out then if it's worth going north to Leeds,Harrogate,Scotland etc

That would be an interesting discussion in itself,ideal population within an hour's drive/transit for a good sustainable local fastlane.


Sadly the cold calling work form home I went for turned out to be scam (though I think giving people like me a script,training ,phone numbers and cold calling payment could be a valuable lead gen for those who like to go from cold to warm leads.

Though why should they hire me over anyone else?

I thought you were the one who brought it up? Sorry if I misunderstood you there.

I agree that looks like your best bet right now.

So looking for remote slowlane is a good option too, but again comes back to what value can I add over someone in a lower cost of living area? Why should anyone hire me for remote work?

Wrong question. A better question should be, how can I find, appeal to, connect with clients who would like to pay more to get more, and they have a good reason to see me as better than the world's cheapest commodity?

Sadly the cold calling work form home I went for turned out to be scam (though I think giving people like me a script,training ,phone numbers and cold calling payment could be a valuable lead gen for those who like to go from cold to warm leads.

Sorry to her that, hope you weren't out too much time and money before you found that out. There are marketing agencies who will do cold calls from a client's script, and who will help develop that script. But it sounds like you didn't find a legitimate company like that.

I thought you were the one who brought it up?.

I didn't think of it until I saw you mention Birmingham and London as being places four hours commute away. Then you mentioned somewhere with a million companies. That gives me more options. I could see London as full of opportunity, I never thought of Birmingham,Manchester,Leeds,Edinburgh,Derby-Nottingham so a few more options for me there.

Wrong question. A better question should be, how can I find, appeal to, connect with clients who would like to pay more to get more, and they have a good reason to see me as better than the world's cheapest commdity

Your right, that's the question I need to answer. I have no idea. In person is out,I've not had success via Facebook groups,LinkedIn, Twitter, Reddit, upwork, ebay or craigslist. They will all rather pay someone cheaper in India/Mexico

Sorry to her that, hope you weren't out too much time and money before you found that out.

Far too much time sadly,but luckily not money.

@ZCP

Here is my thread where I'm describing where I have attempted and failed to make progress. You could say I'm progressing through the failure steps.

 

[ZCP]

@LittleWolfie
ok. show me where you have done each of the following:
- read the books
- studied the forum deeply (not just made a bunch of 'why that won't work for me' posts)
- run CENTS on several ideas
- done some initial mkt research / sales work to get the 'echo'
- have a pretty decent idea and the first few steps started

don't reply with your quick, whimsical, extremely shallow standard reply. go deep.

you have 263 posts in 19 days. time to stop posting and start working. go deep.

give detailed specifics with what AND why along with your detailed analysis of each of the items above.
if you complete all of that in one post before the end of the week, you are not going deep enough. you are just giving shallow answers and minimal work. go deep. stop talking / posting, start thinking.

How do I show that? I've posted in the appropriate thread I've read the books, I've made comments based on my understanding of the books in my posts.

That should show what I have read.
How do I show that I've studied the forum deeply? I've easily spent 40 hours studying before I even registered. How do I show it? This is something I struggle with, I know all about show not tell, however what to me is an obvious show doesn't always seem to come through.

In a lot of cases it is things I was trying before being here. A lot of the basics ideas seem to have been covered elsewhere, so I'm giving history. Sorry if that's not clear enough.

I'll put the market resarch documents to the thread.

have a pretty decent idea

I don't have one, I'm looking for it.

How can I phrase this to avoid sounding whiny? Since I'm certain they are not psychological blocks, I will say this; If @LateBloomer says they will work for me,right now.
Then I will belive that is a decent idea that will work for me right now and I will try it.

To meet my criteria for being a decent idea for me. If I find an idea that fits within the constraints I have then it will work for me and de facto be a decent idea

Constraints.

Needs to be deliverable entirely online and not require driving (or it needs to inherently include someone driving me about)
accept an internet connection of 10-15Mb/s(or less/no internet)
Or pay enough for me to afford transit or relocate (£400 a week will be plenty)
Must be legal here(no cannabis companies)
Has to make enough profit in order to afford the appropriate VAT taxes(and licensing in the long run, I don't mind a small capital investment if I can see the money in the long run)

I'm open to suggestions and would love to hear examples from people who succeeded in similar situations.

Appen has been the best one so far,although it violates control, hope to get a positive response from them.

Ok specifics. one reddit post reached 2500 people within 24 hours and cost no more than the cost of the computer and internet and has now been seen by more than the entire local population.
Too bad I couldn't monetise it.

Where can I generate a 'sales' echo online? Does posting to craigslist even though I can't deliver count?

 

[ZCP]

for studying the forum:
what specific threads have you studied? what couple of bullet points did you get from each? what actionable items did you learn that you can used in your idea search?

take one of your ideas and do the CENTS analysis here (show your work), explain each step.....

slow down and analyze.

 

[LittleWolfie]

for studying the forum:
what specific threads have you studied? what couple of bullet points.

Different angle to finding need/want

Asking people what they use spreadsheets for could be a way of idea generation.

Actionable advice for me right now, none I don't have people who use spreadsheets daily I can talk too.

This thread So I'm now jobless and I gotta survive. Kinda need a bit of support(a bit anxious?)

Health is important too, don't neglect it.
Small quick short term gains can help.

Appen is a good fit for me right now


Terms such as social media evaluator could be used to help find the skill building weekend work.

Ive not found anything else yet from that thread.

CENTS Commandments (or NECST) in Pictures this one great video of CENTS requirements

Takeaway Need is hardest for me to satisfy/evaluate Its about getting that sales ,echo' those early pre orders so that I can evaualte. Why spend 3 months building something the market doesn't want?

Taking one idea not mine sadly lost the post form here "ICO kit for the average joe"

Control? Yes, sell via your own online shop as a channel, set amongst as many as possible.

Entry barrier? Yes, otherwise it would be built. Need to know how to launch a crypto, configure dapp,remastered,wubi ,rdp,there's a reason it doesn't exist yet. (Ok legal is a bit more of a barrier) I'm selling the shovels rather than the gold so looking at shovel law though.

Need? Maybe. Waves is this for crypto enthusiasts niche and still makes money.


The average Joe or man next door may well want to get in to crypto (see buy Bitcoin trending) but not know much, I need to figure what search terms they would use.

Time? Yes, once built pretty easy to automate(or just put up with the odd hour a day regardless of number of customers)

Scale? Yup potentially @500 customers(though 180 gives better performance) on one app server plus 1024 connections on the pass through. So say 2 servers for each group of 1-180. Automatic provisioning systems are widely available eliminating most of the hard work (a lower tech version is available via print on demand technology. Let people order the disc and have Amazon or other supplier make and ship it on a per unit basis) lower margin per customer(single tennant) but a lot easier to automate (forward an email) and manage.

It's not that he's randomly thrashing from one potential idea to another. I think that once he sees something that might realistically have a chance to work, he'll hit it hard and keep going. It seems to me the problem is coming up with a workable idea at all, for some kind of freelance work or some kind of potential product that's possible to start selling immediately.

Certainly a lot of discussion and probing.

By all means I will switch to 'How Can I', if that makes things easier for you.

The answer is going to be the same, because I'm literally asking the same things. Any motivation or lack thereof is imagined. Perhaps we can work together to come up with a better phrasing terms dictionary/ forum lomgo terms and get it sticked? To help other new forum users?

. I'll post this evening.

*edit update. This is what lead me into the idea of needing to have a more positive-sounding tone.

Not sure what you mean with this post. This is about you and your mindset. Where you currently see constraints, roadblocks, hurdles, and the can't s...... we will begin to switch those to can s.

Have you worked deeply on the 5 bullet points from my earlier post? Have you worked deeply on finding available businesses to buy?

When you have completed these, tag me again in this thread or your new progress thread.

 

[FreakyThomas]

I think you should start with something simple, even if it's not the "perfect" idea. About your constraints, well, anything sold online is fine, I guess. It's your job to find how to avoid them.
You will never be ready, it will never be perfect. Only thing preventing you from acting is yourself. I had the same problem before, and still struggling with it I guess. TMF helped me a lot and also "Like a Virgin" written by Richard Branson. This guy launched all his businesses without being ready at all. He simply took action for any of his idea, even if it's wasn't a perfect fit.
I also loved "Choice Theory" my William Glasser, although it's not really a business book. It opened my eyes.

I About your constraints, well, anything sold online is fine, I guess.

I think the fact that me you and late bloomer all agree on that increases the chances that they are real external constrains and for me the best choice is something solid online.

Only thing preventing you from acting is yourself.

I am acting though,I just need to find something solid and simple online.

It doesn't need to be fastlane or perfect, just viable.

Perfect is the enemy of good enough.

 

[LittleWolfie]

Not sure what you mean with this post. This is about you and your mindset..

I don't think this is actually about my mindset, but rather your perception of my mindset. Now that in itself may be the biggest and first issue I need to overcome. The fact that we are having trouble communicating on the last post is indicative to me that this is actually the problem.

Software could simply and easy restructure I can't into how can I, changing the text doesn't imply changing the mindset.

Simply rewriting the sentences to use other words, doesn't change my mindset (The question is can changing the words while keeping the same mindset be just as effective or is it better to change the mindset while keeping the words?) Hopefully it's the former.

To me there is absolutely no emotionally implicit change between someone saying I can't do x because y and how can I do x when y. They literally mean the same thing. I neither read between the lines nor write between the lines. (This can cause confusion when people look for implied meaning that isn't there)

Perhaps we could generate a list of implicty-negatively-charged words and implicty-positively -charged words.

Then I have real simple effective practical alternative to "change your mindset" it becomes an exercise in learning synonyms.


So how can I take a train service that does not exist?

How can I travel from a remote location, when there is poor transit, I am unable to drive and there is no one to provide me transport and there are no uber or lyft either?

 

[LittleWolfie]

Perhaps I should have said circumstances rather than constraints or obstacles. I'm more than happy to discuss and work out what is viable to me. I'm happy to keep an open mind and concede they may be excuses as long as the other person is willing to concede they may be real viable obstacles.

At the moment I see the main challenge as getting a strong enough signal online to rise above the noise.

I've also been contacted by an agency regarding a slowlane job in a better location (at least if I can figure out a way to do the interview and impress them that will give me a chance to do some offline flipping in Nottingham/derby or Manchester/Leeds/London. Plus I would be getting paid to learn the skills I need.

It is an emarketing role through an agency, so I can't do a lot of inital resarch on the company until I speak to the agency. I have been thinking about how I can show rather than tell, because I need to sell myself.

(and worrying about how I'm going to get to the interview/or convince them to do it online)

I've decided that for me right now. I should be providing a product not any kind of service(with the exception of my altruistic attempts). It needs to be a fairly simple product, where people can intuitively grasp the value of it.

 

[LittleWolfie]

I am kind of stuck in a cycle where I am always busy but probably not with the right things...

In this new members intro I saw myself. Since I don't know what is the right things too be doing for Fastlane, adding value or otherwise.

I fall into over analysing and constant posting so I feel that I'm doing something/anything. I then end uo wasting time and think it's better not to be online at all, but the local audience is too small.

While you continue working on that roadblock.

I think I may have cracked this! As I stated before, for me the idea that the problem is "mindset", seems rather doubtful, so the solution is to effectively fake solving the mindset by changing the tone of my writing, to convey my point in a more positive-perception way. Replacing words with alternative synonyms with another tone, plays to my strengths much more than the vacuous and nebulous "changing mindset". After all it is totally possible for authors to write characters with different attitude and mindsets, by altering the tone of their writing.

I have found some great resources on this. How to Create the Appropriate Tone in Business Communications

Do call me out if you get a negative tone, and please try and tell me which words give a negative toner. I've got a good list, and can keep building it.

point me back to the post with your location limitations.

The very first post in this thread and the very first post in my intro INTRO - Hello, I don't want to be a millionaire

I have expanded a bit more on this below and made an attempt to rephrase to a more positive manner. The question I want to answer is How can I add value and network and find my niche, given these existing limitations. Once I have an online income of around 20k a year, I can relocate to the point, where in person "diesel and coffee" (well electric and coffee because trams)

I'm totally reliant on my own two feet and public transport, this is absolutely wonderful as a denzien of London or Birmingham or small German towns with their ubiquitous trams.

However, I live in Holbeach Hurn, which has small, sparse population. Whilst, I eagerly anticipate the introduction of a once a day bus service,(or even of Uber) however in its absence I must consider more viable alternatives. Currently travelling to anywhere substantial involves one or two overnight stops, which as you can imagine rapidly increases the cost of anything. Even travelling to slowlane interviews.

I seem to struggle at finding an online audience and engaging with them, possibly because I don't have much in the way of social media presence. I do possess a fairly below average EQ, although I have a higher EQ (Not trying to humblebrag or whine, just state facts)

This is what has lead me to the conclusion , my fastlane must be online. My internet connection is currently 5.1Mbps and 200ms latency. I've no idea what qualifies as "fast". However this is rarely enough to run videochat on skype without constant stuttering and freeze framing (Voice is just fine though)

Obviously, I can reach better and faster internet speeds, however I need to be paid enough to travel or rent in an area with faster connections.

I am hard of hearing and have a rather monotonous voice, so the text medium, should be the ideal communication for me. I can type pretty fast, when I'm at hom with all my special equipment I can get up to 60-70 wpm. (When I typed more frequently I was at around 115)

Most word-unit or fixed price transcription work seems to have been replaced with hourly now, which means my speed advantage is lost. Plus, all the automation tools and the like are eating into that.


I'm a very analytical person, when people tell me to stop over-analysing this can be rather taxing for myself, as it is just natural, quick and easy to analyse things.

I certainly need to work, more on "showing my work" again when you can just do things, it is not so easy to explain them. Trying showing your work when you move your legs...

I have a desire to fully conduct any operations in accordance with local laws(rather than say US ones) so cannabis business or ones that involve driving without are license are out. Id rather be broke and legal than a rich law breaker. (Mere existence here can still avoid multiple felonies a day the average American might commit!) Conversely of course selling alcohol to 18 year olds is a perfectly legitimate business as long as you posses the appropriate licenses.

I have some small limited funds, I'm investigating the idea of buying in an audience or a small blog or whatsapp group or something in a niche I can appeal towards. At the moment, I'm doing day labour work. This has the advantage they pcik me up (some time I get accommodation) but means, I have no idea of income or hours from one day to the next. SO I can't guarantee being at home to physically collect items or ship them, or even being able to answer emails. As a rule I'm available for certain each day up until 1 hour before dawn. IM available on Sunday for certain as the agency won't pay out for the Sunday extra to the transit people. Beyond that I have no clue. Obviously if there was a retainer or some kind of ongoing work or large enough fixed price payment, I could give this up, however reality and living expenses must be considered.

However I don't have a fully formed plan of something to do, that I can do with the resources at my beck and call.

As you may have noticed by now, I do possess the tendency to waffle on.
Also my copy is of the "burn it" quality, or so I am informed.

 

[LittleWolfie]

This was my "burnable" level copywriting.
This will mostly be a hobby level project,but it's better than not starting at all.

I've decided to add in some execution in which I try to increase the uptake of Ubuntu,by providing it for free.

This has a few advantages;

I can't be a money chaser, if I'm giving away a value add for no charge.

The product is already built and has lots of smart programmers.

I get copywriting/marketing portfolio experience, Ubuntu gets exposure, and users get a need met. If I'm going to work for free, I can work for anyone at that price. I choose Ubuntu.

No worries about VAT, and other complications, since I'm not making any money.

I'm convinced there is a demand for it which can't be reached currently. Here's a chance for me to prove it.


I've always been a fan of Debian based distros and now Ubuntu has moved away from unity back to Gnome it's rapidly gaining my heart back. I still think it's the most user friendly Linux version.

If this works it could be a great way of providing an action orientated mindshift opportunity. No product, no capital? Well here's a product, now go get users.

While the people here can give real feedback, after all something is being executed. I'm trying to introduce a product to a new audience, in a fastlane manner. The only difference is I don't want to make money.

I could inspire others to do the same and their will be more people spreading it, even when I'm not.

The whole community is way too tech orientated and badly nerds an injection of sales/marketing dna.

The lessons learnt, and tapping people here could be really valuable lessons for them and anyone wanting to learn (since I'm not making money personally, I don't need to worry about competition if I'm detailed)

So who do I want to use it? I want your average user who has never heard of Linux. They don't want a better OS or distro. They want cheap windows/Apple.

So I wrote some copy, and went to put it up somewhere. I think I chose bad places (gumtree,craigslist) or sounded too scammy as I got blocked. I think i also need to learn to write copy so I don't sound like a bad infomercial writer who has moved on to buzzfeed.

Here's the copy

The one weird trick with badgers that software companies don't want you to know about.


Hello guys and gals (and others)


Do you use a computer? Are you using one right now to read this? (If not who printed it out?)


Do you find it too expensive? Are you buying new software?


Are you constantly looking for a cheap windows alternative?


What if I told you, you didn't have to pay £50 to use proper office software, instead of dealing with the poor quality on the free apps?


There's even more though.


Not only is there a cheaper alternative, but it comes with lots of add one avalibile in the store, including free alternatives to popular office and image editing software!


How much is it worth now? Well it’s below £30. But wait that's not all!


You only need to replace once every 5 years, rather than each time the CEO wants a new Ferrari! Why should you pay for their bling bling?


But wait there is even more.


Free support from the builders through the online forum. Do you get that with your current provider?


It just gets better and better, want multiple copies? Well you can have as many as you like! Feel free to copy it!!!


It's not hundreds of pounds, it's not tens of pounds, it's not even ten pounds. We won't even charge you a hapenny.


Get your free windows alternative now. It is called Bionic Badger Ubuntu, and you can download it right at the link below. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)

 

[LittleWolfie]

Part of a possible idea for me?

Context

I've been studying various materials on copy-writing to improve my marketing skills, and I came across this little gem, slightly paraphrased

Marketing to developers throws out the usual rules, because they don't see "Finger-licking chicken" but "deceased Gallus gallus domesticus parts, that have been processed and rotated 360 degrees in plant-based hyrdrocarbon oil at 300 degrees Celsius...... "

Hell, yes to the second half! I'm interested in that slogan despite being a vegetarian. OK, so I probably wouldn't buy it for myself but that got my attention in a way "finger-licking chicken" would not. This is basically a technical manual! If dry convoluted precise, pedantic, and phlegmatic prose can be valuable, maybe I can make a six integer a month salary.

Now I'm having trouble with the conventional copywriting parts so I;m wondering if I can build a niche here.

Need

Companies, who sell to developers need people who can write for their audience.

Solution

Copywrite for this(Maybe I can find copywriters to swap my kind of clients for their kind of clients as I go into the future, though that might be what colour lambo thinking.) Upload datasheets, write for headless terminal access via Lynx(no pictures, no videos, keep it simple)

Blocks

Still need basic copy or copywriter to get the clients to pay me to promote their product. (Or at the very least give me free access) Or I need to make enough money elsewhere to pay for these copywriting) I couldn't do the software justice without access to it.

I somehow need to convince the clients that ugly looking site is just what their customers want to see. They don't want pretty pictures. Maybe okay if your concentrating on front end sales.
How valuable are screenshots of a terminal anyway, when you can just say bash> chmod +x ?


Possible pivot/add on writing job ads that appeal to developers.
