    Hi Andy—I've been reading your older AdWords posts and found them really helpful. I run a local garage door repair business and am starting Google Ads. Are your past strategies still relevant today? Any updated advice or resources you recommend (courses, books, etc.)? Appreciate the value you’ve shared—thanks for your time!

    The strategies still work. Check out thread "The Shortest Google Ads Course", and my latest videos on YouTube.

    For your own, or for clients? It depends, on your goals and skills. Pick whatever allows you to get going fastest. Adjust as you go.

    Thanks. Hmmm. Interesting question. The main qualities I believe I have are the ability to write and speak supportively even if I disagree, the ability to see things from other people's perspective (empathy), and an ability and desire to simplify.

    Well it is true that it just doesn't seem right for adults talking to teenagers online but I have my parents approval. I did used to enjoy my teenage years but now I don't find fun in anything, I just want to help my parents and not be put into a confined box due to my age. I'm not saying I don't want to go to college, I'm saying I don't want to spend these years developing bad habits.

    Hi Andy!

    Regarding your 25$ Andyblack.net subscription; you can cancel it anytime, right? As in, there is no 3 month or 1 year plan or anything?

    Hi Andy,

    For Google Ads, what advantages can a small company capitalize on to compete with a large franchised company that has expert marketers, tons of systems, and a huge ad budget?

    I’m curious what your thoughts are

    Hi Devil. Watch this video and reply to it with your takeaways:

    www.thefastlaneforum.com

    GOLD! - HOT! - MINDSET - Start Faster. Stop "Learning".

    If you're just getting started, haven't made a sale, or feel you're spinning your wheels then this 8 minute video should help. It's pulled out of a longer call (also linked below). Curious what your main takeaways are, and what you'll do different going forward. PS: If that helped, then...

    Hi Andy i really appreciate the value you are giving in the form especially when it come to mindset. one of the best things that i read from your posts is about the team producers and how to stop action faking this concept really clicked and i know that a lot of people are suffering from it i was wondering if you can talk more in depth about it and if you can recommend any books or resources about this subject

    Hello Andy, I've read all three MJ's books. I was immediately hooked when reading the first one. I was thinking about having the books translated in Czech language and sell them in Czech + Slovakia (15 mil people in total). Do you have some numbers, how much it costs to sell MJ's books please? Or run a franchise?
    Edgar King
    Hey Andy! Thank you. The moment I read your threads, and instead shifted my mindset to who can I help right now, I literally gained a semi-sale from my dad. So I've decided to go with this mindset, of who can I help today by solving their problem or making them get more of something. Yay.

    Hey Andy!

    I'm just dropping by to say thank you. I have just listened to your "How to Quickly Get Started In Business" on Soundcloud. I'm a beginner in the entrepreneurship journey and one of the major bottlenecks I was facing was my mindset on getting costumers.

    Your words and stories about focusing on helping people completely changed it.

    So I'll repeat because you deserve it: Thank you.

    Hi Andy!

    Thanks for your posts on PPC and leadgen, they have helped me a lot.

    I work with math tutoring. We try to reduce the dropout rate of school by having bright students mentor younger pupils. Therefore I was excited when I stumbled upon your interview on soundcloud where you talk about your math tutoring experiences!

    Lol. Not that I’ve noticed as an Englishman in Ireland. There’s a friendly ribbing if England are playing football or rugby, but not too much as most guys here seem to support an English soccer team.

    Hmmm... Thanks for asking. Let me have a think about it. I don't want to pull conversations from TFLF to another community. It would have to have a different purpose than TFLF.

    Hi Andy, I was thinking about starting a thread where I share AdWords mistakes that I come across. Before I do, I want to check with you. I do not want on your toes. You are the AdWords king here (deservedly so). Mainly I just want to add some value to the people new to PPC and sharpening my skills through the discussions. Also, if you need help with anything let me know.

    I read a ton of your stuff today. I like the "quick hitter" stuff you do where you mention random thoughts and observations in a thread (I might do something similar as well). It is a bummer that the new interface is going to date a lot of your content. Might get confusing if a lot of newbies are still looking at it. Any plans to update?

    Andy,

    I have a quick question to ask you if I may?

    I've been searching all over the web trying to find a good review site so I can select a web hosting provider. All of them seem to be biased and associated with affiliate marketing.

    Would you be able to recommend a good web host for a couple lead gen and seo web sites I plan on making with wordpress.

    Thank you,
    Shane

    Hmmm... I'm not the best person to ask tbh. I have a friend who does my hosting for me. Previously I've used GoDaddy and it was fine for the small search volumes I was driving via AdWords paid search. Depends on the volumes, and the location you'll be driving visitors from I guess. Best to find a web developer to ask. There's quite a few in the forum.
