    Missed the Millionaire Goal - So I'm Trying Again!

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Haha, it's ok Intrepid. I started getting clients by doing a critique of their salespage and giving a pretty hefty guarantee (I'll beat their competition or they only pay me half). That landed me a client with more work than I can handle. Copywriting is fun, and I enjoy the people I work...

    Missed the Millionaire Goal - So I'm Trying Again!

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    That's a very good point Russ. Thanks for the perspective reminder. A more accurate title for this post would be: "I am gathering information to decide if I shall do this." (I almost started that sentence with 'I guess') Personal action plans aren't something I take lightly - after all I'm...

    Missed the Millionaire Goal - So I'm Trying Again!

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Hi Guys, I'm back again, after a year long hiatus. When I'd first joined I was ready to become a millionaire with online publishing (Here's the original thread) but I hadn't planned out my finances well enough to support the new business. So I started doing web copywriting, and have hit a...

    Another magazine dies ...

    I think Wildflower hit the nail on the head there. Magazines had a monopoly on consistently updated, quality information for a while. That is the case no longer. However, I think if the magazine publishers really took their pre-established brands, turned them into tribes/families/tight...

    Ben, that's awesome that you've been raising your son since you were 17. Mad props to you there, especially when it's not uncommon to walk away from your responsibilities. Good luck with your business ventures!

    Write a Business Plan?

    Russ, that's pretty awesome. This might be too personal of a question, but how did you get started with SBA loans? What got you started with that track record? Did you use an existing business with a track record already, and get a loan for expansion that didn't carry as much risk? Was...

    Write a Business Plan?

    As a dude just starting out, I feel like (I don't know for sure since this is my first time doing it) that as some of you guys mentioned a PLAN is crucial, but the section-by-section "Business Plan" seems like utter nonsense. So, I made a Business Mind Map. Something to give me a framework...

    Easy SEO tip

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I'm with Jonlee. Images that are readable by humans are the best. Strangely enough, when you use good naming, and alt tags instead of just keyword stuffing it brings some traffic. Or at least it does for me. And it'll come from the most random stuff. My lime green mankini picture (don't...

    Logo Designs $99

    When I did logos, it was $1k retainer, and $50/hour. In my opinion, if you're just doing a logo because you feel like you need one, just go with some stylized text, and maybe a little vector graphic. I use stuff like that when I'm just starting a project and want something professional...
