    Why Amazon Sucks: The Master Thread

    HOT! 
    They are going to your website first, I sell a pullup bar and if I wanted to capture their email address's I'd have a popup which offers to email them a free workout booklet showing all the possible exercises and sample workouts.

    Why Amazon Sucks: The Master Thread

    HOT! 
    Thinking about how to take customers from Amazon's site and onto yours to save the 15% fee is a mistake imo, I sell on amazon and also do adwords to my website which spike my Amazon sales, what I've found is that getting that external traffic coming to and buying on Amazon effects my position in...

    Has anyone here taken a "Landmark Education" course?

    There was a clinical psychologist in our group who stood up on the first day and had some pretty damning things to say to the course leader but I talked to her on the third day, she changed her tune and really found value in it, she signed up to the do the advanced course (another 3 day 500...

    Has anyone here taken a "Landmark Education" course?

    I searched the fastlane forum to see if landmark had been discussed recently and I'm surprised that this thread in 2014 was the only one. My girlfriend did the course in November (she actually went to the October one and walked out after 3 hours!) but decided to give it another go. She's a...

    Thoughts on business monogamy

    I love both TMF and Unscripted and have read/listened to them both more than once but, for the third time in my entrepreneurial career , my business polygamy has saved me from business failure. I get that there are benefits from economies of scale, efficiency and innovation due to complete...

    @MJDemarco, I always liked the gumball machine metaphor and the visual nature would lend itself really well to a video like this

    Fake It Until You Make It - Where Is The Integrity Line?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    I have a personal example from this forum where a small lie, which some people in this thread would consider marketing, lead to a lot of my time and money being wasted. I was following a progress thread and the author got in some financial trouble and needed investment. I had cash to invest and...

    Amazon is ruthless...

    Hi, Yes the Iron Gym is "Amazon's choice" for the words "Iron Gym". The Iron Gym is also still the first result for pullup bar as a search term. What's caught my eye is that the Iron Gym has been in the No.1 spot for best selling pullup bars in the pullup bar category. Of course I don't know...

    Amazon is ruthless...

    Sorry maybe I should have been more clear, I was listed in 2 categories (Pullup bars and something like Pushup Stands) and asked to be listed in both the Pullup Bars and another category because they are better descriptions of the product but Amazon refused and removed me from the Pushup Stands...

    Amazon is ruthless...

    Of course anything is possible but it's very very unlikely imo. I searched Iron Gym on Amazon and their listing (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001EJMS6K/?tag=tff-amazonparser-20) shows that they are the 72nd best seller in the whole category or Sports and Fitness, for some reason they have been...

    Amazon is ruthless...

    As many of you know I sell a pullup bar, on Amazon I always hover around the seventh to tenth spot on the list of best selling pullup bars. (Amazon Best Sellers: Best Strength Training Pull-Up Bars) For as long as I've been keeping an eye on this list, the Iron Gym, which is a very well known...

    Post about "product creation" (and innovation) on reddit.

    Yes this is a way to have a higher success rate when the options are black and white, the company survives or the company dies. But I think when you look within the category of success at the varying degrees of success and compare the companies who made very small changes to the status quo...

    Post about "product creation" (and innovation) on reddit.

    I like the article and idea but I do think there's a tipping point, when you have a new product that's enough of a deviation from the norm it becomes newsworthy and/or can go viral.
