    Seeking Advice: Cold Outreach vs. Freelance Platforms... Which Lead Generation Strategy Should I Prioritize? - Is My Strategy even Effective?

    MARKETING 
    Exactly. If that's your goal. How would someone find your website if they don't know you or your brand name? What would they search for? What are 3 or 4 terms you could rank for that make sense? Be careful where/how you do this though. It's easy to get involved in circle jerks of developers...

    Seeking Advice: Cold Outreach vs. Freelance Platforms... Which Lead Generation Strategy Should I Prioritize? - Is My Strategy even Effective?

    MARKETING 
    1. Start being findable to the people already looking for your service. What are the 3 keywords someone must type into Google to find you (and it can't have your name or your business name). Make sure when you pick those keywords there are other people worthy of being in the same...

    How much money have you lost?

    MINDSET 
    No, it isn't. That's a simple mistake. Also, not FAILURE. I know plenty of 10, 20, and 100-million-dollar companies that don't always know "if it's working" or not. He can F*ck it up for the next 30 years and STILL become a "success" (or what I assume you see as success) Let's not...

    How much money have you lost?

    MINDSET 
    You're delusional. You didn't fail. You stopped. Don't let your emotions cloud the truth. Be careful not to get addicted to this feeling. The world of entrepreneurship is filled with self-loathing because we think we HAVE to be sad. It's a way to connect with others. You want connection, get...

    Google Is Killing Small Independent Sites (Commandment of Control)

    MARKETING 
    Thanks, I've never been on the internet before so I appreciate the help. :p (I'm F*ckin with you, buddy. Sarcasm is our favorite language around here) I AM fixated on this specific example you gave because it's the one you gave to make your dramatic point. They are the ones who wrote a long...

    Google Is Killing Small Independent Sites (Commandment of Control)

    MARKETING 
    I like to bash Google just as much as the next person... But what even is this guy's business model? Affiliate sales? Google Adsense? I mean they literally have blog articles for kids about how to beat part of Super Mario RPG for the Super Nintendo... Not exactly a growth industry and...

    “In a gold rush, don’t dig for gold, sell shovels!”

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    $100k before expenses, taxes, inventory... The point is that it just isn't enough. On the other hand:

    “In a gold rush, don’t dig for gold, sell shovels!”

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    You're missing his point. Seasonal business success is one-in-a-billion. The Halloween Town/Halloween City are essentially once-a-year pop-ups that DO rake in lots and lots of cash. But they are masters of logistics, hiring seasonal workers, finding rundown abandoned buildings to set up in, and...

    How to get through the “stuck” feeling?

    QUESTION 
    Just remember, anybody who says (or thinks) they've got it all figured out is full of shit. Life is a journey, not a destination. You've shown some real business chops, just keep it going!

    How to get more 'premium' clients?

    MARKETING 
    Check out Chris Do on Youtube. He's my recent favorite and runs a solid design studio doing a couple million a year. Not out-of-this world but he's only got a couple employees so highly profitable. Beyond that, start targeting people who WOULD pay way more for web design. It's funny how some...

    Generation Z Apocalypse: is it coming? The Fear is Here.

    MARKETING 
    Maybe a light-hearted take on a serious issue would allow us to tackle these challenges with finesse... because as you say below, stuffing anti-depressents and other pills down everyone's throat forcefully ain't working. 64% is the latest number I think? I have a significant amount of...
