It isn't fastlane, YET, but it'll get you some money coming in that you can reinvest in making it more...

    I am going all in

    Why don't you build a website advertising your skills as an XYZ (whatever it was you were doing on Fiverr). Pay someone on Fiverr to build you a list of potential customers. Use your 14 hours a day to chase those customers for sales. Then once you get the sales, find someone else on Fiverr...

    Making your first $$

    I got an email yesterday that made me think about to how I made my first few dollars online and thought it might be worth sharing. I've probably wasted years trying to find that ONE, BREAKTHROUGH IDEA, even through my best successes have come from taking really simple ideas (often other...

    Blog your way to the top

    MARKETING 
    Posting valuable informational content can be a good way to promote an existing business I think most people on here favor paid ads though. I would stay away from "blogging" as a business in its own right. You could look at something like http://www.nichepursuits.com/ But you are...

    How are you doing market research?

    @ZeroTo100 i've written a guide on market research, PM me your email and i'll send it over. Traditional market research methods suit large companies with big research budgets, where people need a report written by someone else to cover their backs before they make a decision. It is cheaper...

    How to take on a big SaaS project when you lack confidence

    MINDSET SAAS / APPS 
    Fair point, by MVP i don't necessarily mean write any code, but get something in front of people that you can learn from. This could be a landing page, some wire frames, a video (make some slides and do a voice over), images with embedded links so it looks like a real app etc. Asking people...

    How to take on a big SaaS project when you lack confidence

    MINDSET SAAS / APPS 
    Have you read Lean Startup? Think about how you can build an MVP to test your idea. Mock something up and get it in front of people. It could just be a video. Then as you get traction and feedback you add more and more features over time. You don't have to do everything at once. As you start...

    Building websites - A worthy idea?

    IDEA MINDSET 
    Worth learning Wordpress, then you can build basic websites for people and make some cash. Better still, learn enough so that you can sell web design services, then sign a resell agreement with an agency to do the actual work for you. You could do the same for video, seo etc and become a full...

    My Article / Content Writing business - be hard on me to help me succeed

    EXECUTION 
    Stop using Adwords, don't worry so much about your website, just keep it really simple. Pay a freelancer to build you a list of marketing companies with email addresses, contact names etc. Then email / phone them and offer your services. You'll get a lot of interest. I usually pay about $5...

    I NEED AN IDEA!

    IDEA 
    Totally agree with this, its very easy to over think... At the end of the day, a lot of people have made a lot of money doing some very mundane things without ever having a "big idea" The "10 ideas" framework is only useful if you can link it to action.. i.e. 10 business ideas... 10 sub ideas...

    I NEED AN IDEA!

    IDEA 
    If you're looking for ideas read Jame Altucher... he's got this theory of "10 ideas a day" which i've found very useful. The idea is that you force yourself to write 10 ideas a day in any given area (ideally in some way linked)... and over time your brain becomes better at looking for and...
