    The Fine Art Of Balancing Lead Capture And Sales

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I have a list and (I think) I do a better job than most extracting back end sales and LCV. My concern is long term. You always need to be refilling the funnel and I haven't been doing that as much as I'd like in the recent past.

    The Fine Art Of Balancing Lead Capture And Sales

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Well, this is (basically) my quandary... It's all about which piece of the puzzle you are choosing to focus on/optimize. Best I can tell, through research, most of the "best" (certainly the "gurus") seem to advocate/lean towards the "lead generation" approach. It's the whole "it's easier...

    The Fine Art Of Balancing Lead Capture And Sales

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    For the first few years of my online biz, out of necessity (lack of back end products mostly), new lead generation was mostly an afterthought. I used basic forms and popups and whatnot to gather a small percentage of new leads (email addresses), but it was not my primary focus. I started in...

    Another Teen Millionaire

    EXECUTION 
    This kid is using tons of Fastlane principles. He has a very clear goal… He didn’t assume his age was a factor… He’s taking a Fastlane approach to his finances… He’s mostly about implementation over magical thinking… He knew that his “business education†was...

    Damn doubts!

    MINDSET 
    First, don't beat yourself up for having doubts. We all do. Work through them and/or ignore them. What is your USP (Unique Selling Proposition) for this site? "Platform for community based learning seems a little broad." If you were seeking venture capital, how would you describe it...

    The real Detroit

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Ironically, I've (once again) managed to take positions on both sides of the fence. I believe there's way too much bad stuff going on, relative to the growth and aggressiveness of the "police state" these days. I have much suspicion of the establishment of law enforcement, these days. But...

    video on google first page search

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    In my opinion, it's probably because of the part of the web lifespan that we currently inhabit, but videos are practically magic right now. In 2001, people were so impressed that you were selling from a web site that they give you "cred" rightfully or wrongfully. That's long gone. Now...

    The real Detroit

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Makes you think of all of those news stories where many assumed the cops were OBVIOUSLY out of line when they pulled the trigger on a potential bad guy more than once. If I were a cop and knew (based on friends having been killed by a perp AFTER being shot already) the reality of these types...

    Any PPC experts willing to barter a bit?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Hi. I would NEVER ask for any "free" help from anyone in this forum, but I'm assuming (hoping) "networking" is an acceptable activity here? I run an Internet business, selling information to a fairly unique niche and am currently wrestling most with re-aligning/bringing some sanity to my...

    The 4 Hour Work Week Vs. Millionaire Fastlane

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Ugh. If anyone thinks I hate TF, let me correct you...I don't! I am sure that there is much I could learn from him. I (really) was just asking if anyone else had experienced the negative "4HWW" effects that I had (ambiguous guilt that I wasn't only working 4 hours per week). That's a...

    The 4 Hour Work Week Vs. Millionaire Fastlane

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    There's a bit of truth in that. I'll admit that I am coming to the question with some opinions already. But, in reality, I was (trying) to be open about the fact that the reasons I don't love the 4HWW is because, for me, it didn't seem to fit my reality and experience and I was curious if it...

    The 4 Hour Work Week Vs. Millionaire Fastlane

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    On the contrary, I think doing that would be an amazing accomplishment. Ultimately, I think this is the crux of why I feel queezy about TF's advice and find MJ's book to be truly insightful. When you marry the goals (freedom), mindsets (I don't have to be part of the mediocre, poor...

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    MJ, I've read the book and can sincerely say that it is one of the most unique and valuable business/motivation books that I've ever read. Being an author myself, I (think) that I can tell the difference between a book written for the author (to garner big sales) and one written for the...

    The 4 Hour Work Week Vs. Millionaire Fastlane

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Except... the topic of my post was the merit of the 4HWW, not the real or (possibly) exaggerated claims of TF. I was well aware of TF's "claims" as well as the non sycophantic chatter on the other side when I started the thread, but didn't mention it because I didn't see it as relevant...
