    Sending a second "Confirm your subscription" email

    MARKETING 
    I'd do it. I'd send another "Hey! It's looks like you forgot to___" email. Test it and see how it goes. What's the worst that can happen? You piss off people who never planned to double opt-in anyway? F-em! Do it! I have the same issue on my ecomm site. I'm trying to pivot more to sms. For...

    I quit my job and bought a shoe store

    EXECUTION 
    Yeah, I'd ditch that derivative view. It's pretty useless IMO. With this kind of chart you'll only see how each year compares to the previous one. The further out you go in time, the more removed and irrelevant it is. They're not great at showing long term trends since they only look at the...

    Do real estate agents even need their personal websites?

    REAL ESTATE 
    I don't want to get off-topic from the OP, but... Why go through all that? Maybe it's different in Ghana, but you've talked about 4 different careers just to get to the point of being an investor. You only need one source of income to save money and start investing. Just focus on one thing.

    Do real estate agents even need their personal websites?

    REAL ESTATE 
    Having a website as an agent is an exercise in personal brand building. Agents do change brokerages over time and your personal website is a way of letting client know where they can find you regardless of the brokerage you're working for. Most (good) agents get their business through word of...

    I quit my job and bought a shoe store

    EXECUTION 
    Hey Sandman! I've been off the forum for awhile, but was following your thread in the past, I got the alert about new posts and after reading them, thought maybe I could offer some advice, or perhaps at least ask some questions. Like you, I also bought a retail brick and mortar business (end...

    Any tips on getting people to fill out Market Research forms? (Google Form)

    IDEA 
    I work for a market research company. I could give you all the insights into what works for us; preincentives, post incentives, philanthropic trades, etc. But generally, surveys suck. As an entrepreneur, I have to ask (or perhaps suggest) Why don't you just build the damn thing, then sell it...

    HVAC Business Ideaa

    IDEA 
    Just start. What's the worst that could happen? It's fails and you go back to working for someone else just like you do now? Or you have moderate success but still trade your time for money? Those are lateral moves. What's the best that could happen? You end up with one or more locations you...

    How do you guys approach the subject of 'interest'?

    MINDSET 
    Money. Chasing. Go back and read the books again.

    How to get to the fastlane with real estate?

    REAL ESTATE 
    Your first step isn't finding quality investments, it's coming up with your own method to evaluate whatever investments you want to pursue. Then review properties on the market that fit what you're looking for, run your own numbers to see if you'd do the deal or not, then monitor those deal to...

    How to get to the fastlane with real estate?

    REAL ESTATE 
    I've always self-managed my own portfolio of multifamily and short-term rentals, and done my own flips because I'm handy and enjoy it. I've never done any syndications, wholesale deals or anything else so unfortunately I'm probably not the best one to give you advice. What I can say is that...

    How do I provide value to a Facebook Group I'm creating?

    MARKETING 
    Exactly! Can you piggy back on other groups? Provide value there. Hint at (your) solutions to their problems. Let them ask for more details.

    Building a billion dollar enterprise

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    Hey Roc, I'm curious to know where you landed/are leaning on the ERP side of things. I'm not on your level, but I've reached "The Position of F*ck You". We've just now bought another existing business as a turn-around and are going to make some changes to set it up for growth. There's a brick...
