Congratulations on your progress! MJ recommended Amazon, and I’ll throw in my two cents about that. I agree that you need to get on Amazon. On Amazon, there's the “book route” of Amazon Vendor Central or Amazon Advantage that MJ mentioned and KDP. But there's also the "product route" which...

I don’t really resonate with this article. The hero’s journey is essential to any good fictional story. But personal growth comes from within. Sure, there can be outside circumstances that challenge us and spark transformation. But those obstacles don’t need to come from working or making...

You have a higher probability of @biophase responding if you have a female forum name and your profile photo is of a cute blonde girl.

We actually got two versions of the Nectar mattresses. @biophase slept on the cheapie ones we got on sale for under $400. We bought two of those. One was definitely too soft… like they forgot a layer of foam or something. We tried to exchange it. There’s no way to stuff a bed-in-box back in the...

There’s a relatively new feature in Etsy Ads that lets you turn on/off relevant keywords. Etsy says it’s a “test,” so I don’t have a lot of faith in it. We’re only running ads on a handful of listings, but we did go through and scrub out some bad keywords.

Are those dates next to it the active dates? Your screenshot makes it look like they tried Shopify and moved to Woocommerce. Lots of people have Wordpress (not Woocommerce) in addition to Shopify. Usually, they’ll install one on a subdomain or a subfolder. Generally, this is because the...

Heads up, Etsy shop owners. Another half-baked Etsy feature was released today: the Star Seller badge. Totally idiotic, for multiple reasons.

Bumping because I've been thinking about this thread a lot lately. There are a ton of services out there now. Copy.ai, copysmith.ai, conversion.ai, writesonic, etc. Has anyone used any of them?

If it's outside of your control or otherwise violates ToS (delivery delays, profanity, mentions another website), you can use the"Report this review" link. Lately, anything that mentions slow delivery due to post office delays have been automatically removed, by using the link. Otherwise, I...

Hit my arbitrary business revenue and net profits goals. Meditation wasn’t as consistent. Got plenty of massages and float tank sessions. Slacked on the food and gym, but happy with where I’m at now.

I had a great 2020! Oddly enough, life didn’t feel much different. We don’t have kids, and we’ve worked from home for over a decade. Also, we rarely eat out, and I don’t like going to the movies. I realized that I’m very much an introvert, and I’m totally okay with that. I am looking forward to...

I decided on 30 days of morning stretching, plus a short yoga routine at night. I will continue with the IF, since it’s just become normal now. Thanks @Sheens for starting this!

Haven't missed a day with IF. I just couldn't concentrate last week. Too many distractions. I scheduled a float (sensory deprivation tank) for tomorrow afternoon to hit the reset button. Next 30 day challenge will be focused on physical activity for me. I just haven't made that a habit or...

@Jemmalee - Awesome work! Any tips on growing Instagram followers? I have no idea what to post. I actually hired someone to help do my social media, because I’m so bad at it.

Feeling pretty good! The IF has helped me re-lose these few extra pounds I gained this year. I realized about a week in that I was trying to get too much done at the end of the day. So, I moved a few things to a morning habit stacking routine.

My mastermind group started in January 2014. That's almost 7 years of consistent meetings even through marriages, babies, deaths in the family, major business changes, C0VlD-19, and more. It's a free, self-run mastermind. There are five of us in the group. Four of us met at a one-day workshop...

@biophase - Does that mean you’ll change your profile pic? I think that it should be a new mountain bike. It’ll get more use than your McLaren got, anyways. :happy:

Count me in! I’ve decided to focus on my health for the remainder of the year, so mine are: - Clean (only water) intermittent fast 18/6: I’m in the middle of reading “Fast. Feast. Repeat.” and ready to give IF another try without my morning coffee/cream crutch. I stopped drinking caffeine...

Can’t help with the entrepreneur group house, but I’ve lived in the Denver/Boulder area my entire life. The startup scene in Boulder is tech heavy, with an emphasis on VC-funded companies — as opposed to lifestyle businesses that many of us here on the Fastlane forum have. With a SaaS company...

Congratulations on taking action, and now reaping the results! From one Etsy Seller to another, here are two tools I’d recommend, if you’re not using them already: eRank (or Marmalead) for analyzing your listing strength. If you’re on a budget, there’s a free version of eRank. GetVela (it’s...
