    Mental Health and Entrepreneurship

    Come to Fastlane for the entrepreneurial advice, stay for the crazy way certain forum posts seem to line up with what's going on in your life. If I'm not being too nosy (I very well might be), does anyone have experience with mental health medications and how going off of them interacted with...

    No More Action-Faking or Maybe I'm Wrong?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Hey! In my experience, it really depends on what you're using college for. If you just go to make good grades...no one cares about that anymore (at least in the United States, and unless you're at an Ivy League university). If, however, you look for like-minded people, make business...

    How am I supposed to save for training when they don't tell you the price?

    Hey, I have to admire the sheer ballsiness of this marketing tactic, but I feel you. That kinda sucks. Honestly I would call from someone else's phone the first time, hear the price and discount, figure out your savings, and then call from your phone and use a different voice -- or have someone...

    Hey, thanks for stopping by! I get the feeling you're trying to help me define my ideal clientele. First, here's the green and red flags for clients on Fiverr (partly so I have to write it down and articulate it, you don't have to read it, haha): Green flags are people who have already built...

    Hey Mr. DeMarco, Started reading "Millionaire Fastlane" last night. If you ever want eyes on the fiction you alluded to wanting to write, I'd love to read it. You have a real, genuine gift for storytelling that I bet extends to your fiction as well. (Apologies if you've already published it...

    I think I only purchased the domain name, and used SquareSpace to do so on the advice of client even though I'm much more familiar with WordPress (duh on my part). When I figure out a plan, I'm definitely going to contact their chat support. (As a note, I know enough HTML and CSS to kinda get...

    Thank you for the comments! I hate Fiverr's "I will" structure, but you're right -- they are very "me-centric" and need edited. Also re: prices...Well, Fiverr's really been jerking around on their algorithms, and while I originally graced their front page for web copy, I don't know how far...

    That's a really good point. Another factor that had me in paralysis mode is setting up my website (I did buy the domain jfcopy.co but haven't done anything with it); it's heartening to hear that there might be other alternatives, so I really appreciate it! And if I do make it off of Fiverr and...

    Hey, Jeff! Thank you so much for reaching out as well! This is one of the biggest things I struggle with -- while I have great testimonials because the clients are satisfied with my product (even if I know it doesn't fit in with effective copy standards, conversion, or even readability), I have...

    Crazy how you know things...but need someone else to point them out. You are 100% correct -- so far I've been fitting my profile into "Fiverr's standards" instead of mine. (And let's be honest...even with Pro and Learn and all that crap, Fiverr is best known for being able to cast a wide net and...

    Hey! Thanks for the additional tips -- more of just what I'm looking for and proving that signing up for Fastlane was more than worth my time. Good to know that there are more established copywriters (kopywriters?) around here too. Best of luck!

    Hey! Thanks so much for reaching out! That long post looks super informative -- if you remember, please hit me up when it's done. I appreciate the tips on who to look for / look out for as well! I'm gonna be 100% honest. I have done absolutely nothing about establishing a platform for myself --...

    None, to my knowledge! I'm a bigger fan of Ray Edwards ;)

    Hey Lex, thanks for reaching out -- I think I was groaning via text more than asking for specific advice. Now that you mention it, it's client quality I'm after. Thanks for the tips on finding better clients!

    Hey (on phone so sorry for no tag), great idea! Thank you for the advice on an off-platform start! I really appreciate it!
