Might be too late now, but have you tried starting with smaller streamers who might be more willing to try new things, and who aren't as bombarded with messages?

Awesome thanks!

Makes sense, where would you recommend starting for someone who knows nothing other than building a few basic sites on WordPress (without ever writing a line of code)

It's hard to give a specific suggestion without much detail on your app/idea, but I'll say you should definitely make sure there is a way you can monetize before you start sinking a lot of time and money into it (unless a pure passion project). If you're hoping to turn this into a profitable...

Have always thought this was a wise strategy, ie. to buy SaaS businesses that have potential but for whatever reason the owner is selling or white labeling them. Problem for me is I'm not a techie so I'd have no idea how to bug fix, built in upgrades, etc so I've stuck to buying/selling blogs...

If you haven't read his book "How to get everything you can out of all you've got", I highly, highly recommend it. It's nothing earth-shattering in terms of the concepts, but it's a great read and so practical and easy to implement in your business or a new business the very next day.

Couldn't agree more!

I just hired my first "VA", but I decided against the full outsourcing model and just found one in my home city. I considered finding ones online in other countries that I could get for 1/3 of the price, but because of how "important" the admin work I want to outsource is, the fact that I wanted...

I have never tried it myself, but have a fair amount of friends that use it. When I was "younger", I was just never interested, busy with other things and my dad was very against it. Over the years, I saw the effects it had on my friends (not that they weren't "successful", but the way it made...

Spend a few days/weeks researching the options out there, then try the 2-3 that seem the most interesting to you. The reality is you will be more drawn to and more motivated by things you enjoy in the long run, and you will quickly learn what excites you, discover opportunities and be more...
