    20 years old, planning to quit uni and move to Thailand to work on business

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Very difficult to give any advice if we have no clue about the feasibility of your business. General thoughts: Don't do it! Finish your degree and then you're free to do whatever you want (for as long as you have cash...). Get the idea out of your head that working for sb. else is somethong...

    How Do You Invest in Yourself? Non-Business Skills You Find Valuable

    NOTABLE! 
    Excellent point! Systems thinking is an amazing thought-tool that I had somewhat forgotten about. Thanks for the reminder ! For anyone who is interested in starting to learn about systems thinking - Peter Sange's book "The fifth discpipline" is the best starting point IMO. Some other skills...

    How Do You Invest in Yourself? Non-Business Skills You Find Valuable

    NOTABLE! 
    Travel/foreign cultures. Travel helps to break out of my daily routine. Once back home, I almost always have a refreshed mind and great new ideas. There is a lot of wisdom in any culture built up over hundreds of generations... so yeah, a lot of value lies in learning from them.

    This Is Upsetting

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Sure, everyone around the world "wants" to earn more. But you can't just ignore economic realities. This race to the bottom with prices is an inevitable outcome of globalization. There is always someone who can do the same thing cheaper than you. This is the flip-side of any kind of work...

    This Is Upsetting

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Don't see how this is a problem. Someone, somewhere will be happy for this "opportunity". As one of the previous posts mentions, think of countries with an average salary of $200. Now take someone there with little experience. At a rate of $4/hour and a 40 hour work week he or she would...

    Somebody Sell Me on "Fastlane Insiders"

    MINDSET 
    Actually, I don't even understand why you "have to" join the insiders now. There is a ton of value in the free part of the forum. If you are sceptical, then just stick around the free part... Whenever you are really hungry for more, you can still upgrade. And then those few $ will probably will...

    Blogging for Profit (With Legendary GOLD Follow Up Posts)

    GOLD! 
    Allow me to add to this thread from the perspective of somebody who has been blogging for many years with the wrong mindset, resulting in making hardly any money at all. I STILL have the wrong mindset. And I am STILL struggling, so I am not trying to pretend to be an expert here. Just sharing...

    Knowing when to keep pushing vs knowing when to stop

    Seth Godin wrote a book exclusively dedicated to answering this question. It's titled "The Dip".

    Need feedback and giveaway

    I think it would be difficult at this point to get such a client. What is more realistic is, perhaps, to offer only editing work. The restaurant would send the footage and you would make a nice ad out of it. For practicing contact with real clients, this could be a way forward.

    Quora as a marketing channel, anyone?

    HOT! MARKETING SOCIAL MEDIA 
    Not that I have used it as a marketing channel successfully myself (or really tried for that matter - I've always preferred Medium.com). But I used to read a lot of content by "Nicolas Cole", a writer who has essentially started his writing career on Quora. Today, he has somewhere around 30...

    Raising $100,000 for charity through a virtual summit on Sales & Marketing

    MARKETING 
    I think an affiliate system could work well for this kind of product in case you haven't given it a try yet. Could be done similarly like the people over at focus@will (my favorite product in your space so far).

    How would your ideal social media management and marketing tool look like? Go crazy!

    IDEA MARKETING SOCIAL MEDIA 
    Sorry, it seems that I misunderstood your question. I guess you were talking more about tools like Hootsuite, TweetDeck etc., huh? I don't use any of these. Whenever I try to do that, it feels too 'automated' and audiences immediately get that you're just posting automatically synchronised...

    How would your ideal social media management and marketing tool look like? Go crazy!

    IDEA MARKETING SOCIAL MEDIA 
    A tool that would allow me to do my marketing via blog posts. So, a website that allows anybody to contribute blog posts and has a huge in-built audience (which does exist in the form of Medium). But, one huge difference to Medium: Instead of discouraging people from using the website as a...

    The Zero Campaign

    EXECUTION 
    Haha, point taken. Well... in a way you could say that. You are wasting your time tinkering away on a product that nobody wants. And then another product. And then another one. Before you know it, you are so old that you are going to die soon. You've wasted your lifetime all the way until death.

    Books on sales funnels?

    BOOKS 
    Yep, I have the feeling I won't find anything like that. If there was something, it'd probably already be the first result on Amazon, anyways. Yeah, I guess you have to spend lots of money if you want something valuable ala Traffic blackbook 2.0. Courses on Udemy were kind of basic from what...

    The Zero Campaign

    EXECUTION 
    Have you validated any need for this? (i.e. have you found people who are willing to pay for it?) For example - have you run a pre-sales campaign on a landing page asking people to buy? From what I've seen so far, you seem to be exclusively focused on product development/the technical side of...
